Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ~Lets aim to be the strongest~ Chapter 19

Chapter 19
Strategy
I drop my speed in one go, and while looking back, I suddenly stop .
I lightly kick off the ground, extending my limbs in midair .
Also, putting my foot to the ground chafed the back of my leg with recoil .
I wanted to stop slowly but I don’t have enough space for that .
In order to crush it quickly, I must adjust my posture .
Talan Rouge, the crimson giant spider rushes this way .
The tongue is hanging down dripping vulgarly .
Lets figure out how I should act after confirming the skill that guy possess .
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
Normal Skills:
〖Bite:Lv3〗〖Spider’s Thread:Lv4〗
〖Paralysis Tongue:Lv2〗〖Poison Venom:Lv2〗
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
The〖Bite〗Skill is pretty high .
From that high attack power, if I’m grabbed by that level 3 skill, with my current HP, I’ll be KO’ed with no retries .
Well, a skill with a high level should mean it was used often…… But, well, If I consider that the maximum range is short, with just that, it’s very convenient for me .
Will the first attack it launches be a paralysis attack?
No, it probably doesn’t know I have〖Poison Resistance〗
To him, he did experience his thread being burned, so it may come with the〖Poison Venom〗skill .
The thing I find hard to think of the〖Poison Venom〗move is its drawback .
Well, if it uses the claws and fangs, I also have〖Poison Fang〗and〖Paralysis Poison Claw〗, the fact that the name of a body part is not attached means that it could be a middle ranged technique where the poison will attack me in some kind of way .
In that case, It wouldn’t be strange for〖Poison Venom〗to be injected .
It’s because the〖Voice of God:Lv3〗I posses won’t tell me the details .
I’ll probably have to level it up higher to get more communication .
But somehow, something feels strange……
I count on God’s voice when it’s time to, and in my present condition I get the feeling I’m at this guy’s mercy, well I’m getting that feeling while I use it now though .

Well, I have to figure out how I will get it to come over here at the optimal range to use〖Baby Breath〗without allowing it to respond .
With this status difference, after the breath attack ends, if I hit it with a physical combo attack I’ll take it down in one breath .
I have〖Poison Breath〗but I haven’t tested it, what’s more, If I use it badly, I’ll be stuck with a weird title so I have no intention of using it here and now .
As expected, right now〖Baby Breath〗is the only option .
With a ‘Ssuuu’ I breath in, saving up air within my belly .
As expected Talan Rouge ran in a straight line according to the simulation within my head .
Just before me is a small rock, if that guy gets there, I’ll spit out〖Baby Breath〗at full power .
And than, I’ll cut off the hot air before it can prepare and uppercut it in the chin to close it’s mouth .
After that, I’ll force a〖Dragon Punch〗into it’s chin .
If it doesn’t die even with this, I’ll hit it right away with a barrage of proximity skills .
If the impact is too small, It’ll recover . I’ll have to decide it in one go .
While Talan Rouge opens it’s large mouth, It sticks out it’s tongue .
When I saw that appearance, I got a bad feeling .
I can understand if it opened it’s mouth to use〖Bite〗but it shouldn’t have it’s tongue sticking out while biting .
What’s this guy trying to do?
Talan Rouge still hasn’t reach the small stone’s position but I’m about to shoot〖Baby Breath〗ahead of time .
The moment after I think that, purple smoke covered my vision .
The smoke entered my throat .
「Gubo!」
〖Poison Venom〗’s identity was a poison smoke . It’s spread ability is high, and its range is also higher .
Not good, the baby breath won’t come out .

I withdrew at once, and Talan Rouge plunged itself through the smoke .
At the spot where I was, a large〖Bite〗attack was swung at the air .
Kicking hard at the head with all my strength, I jumped back with that recoil . Spreading my wings, I earned a little distance .
I poised myself once again .
Talan Rouge also stay at a distance, glaring at me .
It didn’t move immediately, seems like it’s enduring that pretty hard kick .
The damage is the same for both of us .
I inhaled it directly but, thanks to my resistance, I don’t have an abnormal status . It’s just that the back of my throat feels chapped .
My body that suffered directly from〖Poison Venom〗was slightly sore .
Will I be able to fire off another breath next time? Even if I could, a large portion of power will fall .
The problem is whether I’ll be able to make my opponent flinch .
I will fall behind from the difference in range of my breath if I clash with it directly .
Though it can’t be said that victory or defeat will be decided by just that, but there’s no doubt it will become a disadvantageous gamble .
Having said that, while my movements are at my opponent’s mercy, releasing an attack will be difficult .
My stats have risen so though I’m inferior in speed, the difference isn’t large .
But if I use〖Roll〗, pick up speed, and overtake the opponent from the side…… No, that is also hard .
With that kind of naive attack, I can easily see that my attack can be countered with〖Bite〗 .
Aside from it being a form of transportation, I can basically think of〖Roll〗as something for small fries only .
At the time I was an egg when I defeated the dark worm, I was in better shape than my opponent, and because I had the strength it was easy to go around the side .
〖Baby Breath〗’s reach loses and it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to pass through a tackle with〖Roll〗
Any other proximity attacks I can shoot out will also be swallowed by the〖Poison Venom〗 .
My survival pattern left is defeating it with close combat from the disadvantaged position of taking the〖Poison Venom〗, or outrunning with〖Roll〗, or giving it an abnormal status by hitting it with〖Poison Breath〗and escaping .
However, in reguards to the last one, I haven’t used〖Poison breath〗itself so I don’t know what will happen .
Something, Is there any other hand I can play?
Is there a way I can beat this giant spider with high certainty?

Ogre Tyrant
Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world. However, he is not as alone as he first thought. There are other people running around all over the place fighting monsters for a living. Unfortunately for Tim, he seems to be one of those monsters. Desperate for any degree of safety and normalcy he can find, Tim must tread a fine line between freedom and subservience to survive. All while trying to keep alive a trio of adventurers hellbent on becoming legends. However, unfortunately for Tim, he is not the only one from earth to awaken in this world and the other Awakened aren't nearly so benevolent. Warning: The protagonist begins the story quite cowed and meek but progresses into a more assertive and situationally dominant personality. This is partly due to growth, but also a result of the character overcoming initial shock and longstanding depression. If you think I could have handled a segment better, by all means, point it out and provide your reasoning and suggestion. Everyone's experience of depression is different, and Tim's is a close representation of my own, so it won't necessarily 'vibe' with everyone. Chapters are around 15k words and released approx 1/week over the weekend. Has been reduced to around 7.5k to 9k to better fit my schedule.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Designated: Out of Control
It happened quicker than anyone would have imagined. Multiple hurricanes were one thing. People had dealt with that in the past. But, like kids playing dominoes, one thing crashed into another. Areas affected by hurricanes needed resources all along the Gulf and East Coasts drew rescuers and resources away from other parts of the country. When wildfires lit up the Pacific coast and mid-west, those areas were already understaffed. Driven by hurricanes in the Pacific basin, uncontrolled wildfires burned through towns, destroying everything in their paths. Across the Pacific, Asia didn't escape. From the Philippines, across China, into Indochina, and Bangladesh and India. Typhoons and cyclones pounded the coasts and far inland. Widespread flooding forced millions from their homes and across international borders. Mexico was hit hard and thousands died in mudslides as Katia slammed into their East Coast. The refugees fled north and west. Rumours started that hundreds of thousands were headed for the US border. Instead of running out of steam in the southern US, several hurricanes tore up the eastern seaboard, devastating cities and renewing their strength before veering east across the Atlantic. Maria and Ophelia veered east and slammed into Europe, reaching as far as the Netherlands and Russia before finally dissipating. After that, too many weather stations were offline to provide any form of co-ordinated information or warnings. Wildfires in Portugal burned ahead of the storms, fanned by hurricane winds. They sparked wildfires leapfrogging across Europe, beyond any one country's ability to cope. Already uneasy from multiple terrorist attacks over the summer, anti-refugee groups seized the opportunity to stage protests across Europe. Some turned violent as they clashed with police forces. Several governments declared martial law to quell the rioting and enforce evacuations along the path of the storms. Rumour and speculation overwhelmed facts. Unrest spilled over into widespread violence. Then sickness broke out in the displaced populations. Within a matter of a dozen weeks, tens of millions died. In the coming winter months hundreds more would follow. The Designated Project was activated.
