BXBX NOVEL Chapter 287: – Abyss Hell
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] .
【186 experience points have been acquired . 】
【Due to the Title Skill [Walking Egg: Lv -], an additional 186 experience points have been acquired . 】
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 .
