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

that much easier to raise.
I also think Aro’s contribution was about twice as much as the nightmare’s.
Either way, going up four levels from a single battle is excellent progress.
I’m getting more experience thanks to [Walking Egg] and the experience I need each level up is reduced by my [Dragon King’s Son], and yet even though I’m fighting directly, my level hardly rises at all.

That leaves treant-san…

…Why has it only gone up 4 levels?

Th-this is strange.
This is definitely strange.
Even though the single-digits are super easy to break through, treant-san’s level hasn’t risen that much… N-no, there’s nothing wrong with that though…

“Gaah”
『It was confused and shot magic at us, remember?』

My partner glares at the treant as she throws bitter words at me.
T-treant-san is trying its best too! 

Besides, we’re about to go challenge what’s probably the most dangerous dungeon in the world, so we can’t exactly bring a level 1 tank with us.
I’m grateful that its level has gone up, even if it’s just a little. 

『…With how close it was to us, even a worm could have raised its level that much.
It’s fine if it doesn’t do anything to help, but I just hope it doesn’t get in our way…』

H-hey, what are you saying!? What do you know about treant-san!?

Treant-san watches our exchange with a serious expression.
S-sorry… Th-that is… Umm.
Right, I’m looking forward to seeing your work! But your level is still a bit low, so please attack from the back!

According to God’s Voice, a [Magical Tree] would generally use disruption magic and strengthen its own defence to draw out battles with adventurers, but unfortunately that sort of strategy won’t work against an adam.
Even if they’re weakened a bit, they’re still A rank monsters.
You need a stupid amount of firepower to even begin to break through their [HP: 700].

Even with treant-san’s magical support, they’re too difficult an opponent for a C+ rank.
Probably, even at max level, a single kick would kill be lethal.
Even if it reduces the adam’s attack stat with a max level [Anti Power] and raises its own defence with [Physical Wall], it might be able to avoid dying in one shot, but it’s still within that range.
I can’t expect it to receive their attacks from the front.
It also can’t do tricky things like the nightmare.
Unfortunately, the most I can expect of treant-san is as a super-degraded version of Aro.

By the way, my HP is 2586.
My defence stat is also worlds apart from treant-san’s, so even if I were to receive successive attacks from the adams, as long as I can distance myself and heal up, it’s not a problem.
I’m totally beating treant-san at its own game.
I’m also a endurance-type dragon after all…

…Treant-san, what will you do? Umm… It’s not like I’m trying to leave you out, but you don’t have to come if you don’t want to… From here on, it’ll probably be extremely dangerous…

『……』

Treant-san wordlessly steps forwards and folds its arm branches, looking down towards the ground.
Its personality alone is powerful.
I-I’m super grateful that you’ll fight for me, but umm… Don’t overdo it, okay?
