287 – Abyss Hell

Keeping my distance from the mother, I lower my altitude. For now, it’s necessary for Aro to raise her level.

I considered going up and having her take refuge with the others, but Aro is the only one who can enter a battlefield that contains a high B rank monster. It would be difficult for me to pull the guards away while also inflicting a fatal wound by myself. I want to defeat it here. The guards arranged in a tight formation. But it’s not like it’s impossible to break through.

As I skim the ground, Aro fires off repeated [Gales] at the normal abysses. Seeing her struggle to kill them, I help out with [Wind Slash] and my partner helps with [Death]. In no time at all, almost ten abysses are transformed into corpses. Experience acquisition windows pop up in my head one after the other.

【138 experience points have been acquired.】
【Due to the Title Skill [Walking Egg: Lv -], an additional 138 experience points have been acquired.】
【The level of [Ouroboros] has risen from 79 to 80.】

Great, great, we’re doing good. The mother clearly doesn’t want to break its formation, because even though it has the [Enraged] status condition, it’s not taking active movement.

Some tentacles come after me, but I’m able to cut them off with [Wind Slash], keeping them at bay.

“[Gale]!”

The tornado ploughs through a crowd of abysses, sending them flying. Intent on finishing them off midair, I suck in my breath, but I notice a change in the mother. Its four eyes shine with a red light.

“VeeeeEeeeeEeeeeh!”

The mother’s scream reverberates. At the same time, a cone of black light stretches out from its centre. The ground engulfed by the light dents as though something heavy is on it, cracks tearing open.

I’ve seen this once before, so I know what skill it is at a glance. It’s scale is way bigger, but it’s the [Gravity] skill. Ages ago, I was on the receiving end of it from the twin head.

The nearby abysses sink into the ground and stop moving. A moment later, I’m also in the area of effect too. Wrapped in black light, my body suddenly becomes heavy.

I try to resist, but I can’t lift my wings. My altitude drops, and a moment later my feet are on the ground. Aside from the baby abysses on the mother’s back, it looks like all of them are affected by [Gravity], as even though their legs struggle, they’re unable to move.

With the enemy unable to move, it’s not a particularly scary situation. I’m just about able to move by crawling across the ground.

“…[Clay]”

Aro uses magic while lying on my back. The terrain deforms as needles of earth burst from the ground, impaling the abdomens of nearby immobilised abysses, scattering their body fluids.

【120 experience points have been acquired.】
【Due to the Title Skill [Walking Egg: Lv -], an additional 120 experience points have been acquired.】

Okay, okay, this is going well. So, what I have to pay attention to is…

“VeaaaaaaaAAH!”

A tentacle shoots towards me. Fighting gravity, I raise both wings in front. With a crashing sound, the tentacle hits my wing. A sharp pain runs through my body.

The moment the tentacle is repelled, the black light disappears and my body becomes lighter all of a sudden. I whip backwards slightly from the sudden lack of resistance.

Oww… But I can recover from this much right away…

“VeEeeh!” “VeEE!”
“VeEeeeh!”

Released from gravity at the same time, the abysses leap towards me together. They bite at my legs and scramble up my body.

I kick off the ground and spread my wings, which are also being bitten at by several abysses. My body grows more and more numb as the abysses pump their body fluids into me.

…I-isn’t this pretty dangerous? There’s three, four of them on my leg, three that have climbed onto my body, and two that are clinging to each of my wings. I’m too weighed down to fly properly.

“Gaaah!”

My partner drops one of the ones them on my wing with [Death].

But as she does, more of them jump towards my body. At this rate, there’s no end to them. Up until now I’ve been fighting them from outside their reach, but since being forced to the ground, their numbers are a problem.

“GuoooooooOOH!”

Roaring, I swing my tail upwards, using its momentum to complete a roll.

“Kyaaah!”

Aro is thrown into the air. I catch her in my mouth, then increase the speed of my rotation as I fall to the ground.

After landing, I [Roll] in a straight line before crashing into the wall. The twenty-or-so abysses that were crawling on me are flattened, along with all the abysses that were in my path.

Their death cries overlap, echoing throughout the chasm bottom.

【2760 experience points have been acquired.】
【Due to the Title Skill [Walking Egg: Lv -], an additional 2760 experience points have been acquired.】
【The level of [Ouroboros] has risen from 80 to 83.】

Haah, haah. I was somehow able to pull through. That’s what they get. My body is drenched in their body fluids, and I get the feeling that a few of their corpses are stuck to my back, but I don’t know anything about them. I’ll forget about them. [Roll] really is my strongest and most amazing skill.

I pull my head out of the hole in the wall. The abysses that are timidly observing me from a distance suddenly all flee in unison.

“VeEeh!”
“VeeeEheEhh!”

The power of my [Roll] from earlier must have scared them quite a bit. C-could I maybe force my way through the guards with [Roll]…?

I twist to change my direction then rush towards the mother with [Roll]. The abysses that I run over en route are converted to experience points.

“VeaaaaaaaaAAH!”

With the mother’s scream, the surroundings are wrapped in black light. My body becomes heavy once again, slowing me down. It’s using the [Gravity] skill again. Even so, I don’t stop, continuing on straight. I feel what must be the mother’s tentacles jabbing into my body, but I don’t alter my course in the slightest.

“VeaaaaaaaaaaaAAH!”

Shaken by the power of my [Roll], the mother screams even louder than before.

If you can dodge me, then by all means. If it’s forced to move, then it’ll lose the protection of the mother guards, albeit temporarily. If it doesn’t dodge, then that’s also fine. Let’s have you receive my [Roll] that has been used to hunt countless monsters with your body.
