The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 111 Part 1

Flame Salamander

Chirp, chirp, chirp.

Since it is a day off, I pour two shots of ejaculation into Sophie’s vagina while she is still sleeping, and then set off towards the labyrinth. After meeting up with Ashtas and the others, we head to the safe area in the fire-breathing salamander’s zone. Today we will stay here for one night, and the next day we will subjugate the zone lord and then go back to the above ground, that is the plan. When we arrive at the place where the zone lord is, numerous parties have gathered and are discussing the subjugation of the zone lord. What, with so many people, are they planning to mob and beat the zone lord, whose rank has gone up, to death? I don’t think this fighting method will be of much use as a reference. While I am resting in my tent, Scarlett pays me a visit.

「Sei, it looks like some other adventurers have grouped up to subjugate the zone lord. Perhaps we’ll get to do nothing but watch this time.」

It seems that the people from Golden Star have nothing to do with this group.

「I see, then I guess hiring me was a mistake. Well, 10 days will pass in the blink of an eye. You can just hire another porter then, can’t you?」

「That may be so, but Ash is a little impatient, you see. We ended up letting our porter get injured in a battle against a rather aggressive zone lord, but according to Claire, they lost three comrades in another territory before coming here.」

「Why is he so impatient?」

「He has a dream that he wants to make true no matter what, becoming a gold-rank adventurer. In another territory, even though their abilities are up to par, they weren’t properly evaluated, so they couldn’t raise their ranks. Here, you only have to subjugate the labyrinth lord, right? So he wants to quickly get promoted to bronze rank and take the silver rank examination in Reinzard.」

I see, Ashtas may be forceful in his methods, but he seems to be a man of considerable ability. And then, Scarlett is deeply in love with Ashtas, her childhood friend. The same must be true for Clarissa. Damn it, what an enviably outrageous guy.

「Also…」

「What is it?」

「Ash doesn’t have that kind of preference, so be sure not to lay your hands on him, okay? You pervert.」

「Kuh.」

Did Scarlett come to drill this matter into me? No, not only am I not into men, I don’t use dildos either, okay? Damn it, at this rate, Clarissa would probably misunderstand me too. It’s not like I want to get involved with her or anything, but it is tough to be looked at with weird eyes by a beautiful woman.

On this day, we spend the night in our respective tents, and the next morning, after having a leisurely breakfast and seeing off the adventurers who are going to subjugate the zone lord, Ashtas starts talking about our plans for today.

「If more than 30 adventurers attack it simultaneously, the zone lord will probably be unable to put up any resistance. I don’t think there is any worth in watching the battle either, but let’s confirm the location at the very least. Once we have confirmed the zone lord from a distance, we will return straight to the above ground.」

There is no need to hurry today. After resting for a while, I put the tents and other stuff into my storage, and then we head to the lake where the Fire-breathing salamander is. Sooner or later, the Jet Black Sword will pass through this place too, so I need to memorize the route properly.

It took about an hour to arrive at the lake, but the moment we get there, along with shouts and the sounds of battles, the smell of burning meat assail my nose. It seems that the adventurers are fighting against the zone lord, but several adventurers are charred black and not moving. It seems that the smell of burning meat originates from the adventurers who have been hit by fire magic. In the distance, I can see a large salamander with orange skin breathing fire one after another, scorching the surrounding adventurers whole in the blink of an eye. Oioi, that is one powerful fire magic with an incredible area of effect. Breathing out flamethrower-like flames, the zone lord shakes its head and unleashes powerful fire magic over a wide area from right to left. The range is probably about ten meters. No matter how you slice it, it is too strong. Its rank must have gone up, no doubt about it.

「Guaaah, ouch, ouch, it’s so hot」

「Leader, hand in there.」

When one of the adventurers gets hit by the fire magic, his comrade, a female adventurer, looks after him. Oh, I think those are faces I have seen somewhere. Ah, they are the adventurers who were banishing their comrade at the table next to us when we formed the Jet Black Sword. The leader has burns all over his body and is in critical condition.

「Ugh, Marika, give me a red potion.」

「Leader, with such a wound, it’s already…」

「It’s fine, hurry up and give me the potion… quickly…」

「Sorry, leader.」

「Marika, you!」

That adventurer named Marika was a woman who had abandoned her boyfriend, who had been banished from their party, to become the leader’s woman. However, now that things have reached such a point, without giving the precious red potion to the dying leader, she pulls the leader’s red iron sword from its scabbard and runs away by herself. That sword would probably be worth a few large gold coins.

「Marika! Damn it, come back…」

After a while, the man stops moving. It seems like all the adventurers around him are either dead or have run away. Now then, what will Ashtas do?

「Everyone, it’s a perfect opportunity. There’s no one to get in the way, so we’ll subjugate the zone lord.」

It is decided that we are going to subjugate the zone lord as originally planned. If Golden Star manages to defeat it here, then we Jet Black Sword should just defeat the zone lord that respawns ten days later, so for me, it could be said to be a lucky thing. However, judging from the way it fought earlier, that guy’s fire magic attack is too abnormal, so I wonder what method they will use to slip past that attack and defeat it.

Ashtas and the others get ready for battle, and it is decided that I, a non-combatant, will be on standby at a place some distance away. At least, let’s act as a shield for Scarlett, the rear guard. As Scarlett weaves her magical energy at Ashtas’ signal, a gust of wind blows up from below and attacks the zone lord. Then, the seven other members, including Ashtas, draw their swords and charge at the zone lord. It seems like everyone except Scarlett is a warrior type vanguard.

The zone lord breathes fire, but Scarlett’s wind magic blows the fire up into the sky. However, the surrounding temperature seems to be high, and Ashtas and the others seem to be having a hard time. Even so, the Golden Star adventurers sink their swords into the zone lord one after another. As Scarlett runs out of magical energy, the wind magic wears off, but the seven adventurers continue to attack the zone lord at close range from the left and right. If you stand so close to it, you probably won’t be hit by the flames from its mouth.

At that moment, four large fireballs appear above the zone lord. Are you for real? Its name is fire-breathing salamander, but apparently it can use normal fire magic as well. Ashtas and the others are frantically attacking it with their swords and don’t seem to notice. Damn it, I step forward and scream.

「Ashtas! Fire magic is coming from above!」

As soon as Ashtas and the others look up, the fireballs loom over them. Everyone tries to avoid it, but the fireballs are so big and fast that six of them end up getting hit and engulfed in flames. What?! Ashtas alone has dodged it while creating an afterimage as if he were splitting himself. Is it some kind of skill? The six people who were hit quickly use healing magic and try to drink red potion, but the zone lord’s attack looms over them. Ashtas gives instructions loudly.

「Not good! Leave the healing for later and keep your distance. Fire magic is coming!」

The zone lord breathes fire from its mouth and spews out flames in a fan shape from right to left. The four people who are too late to escape are hit by it and fall down, screaming as they get engulfed in flames. At that state, they are probably beyond saving. Prioritizing evasion as instructed by Ashtas, Clarissa seems to have escaped the attack. Now then, what will he do? Only three vanguards remain. And Scarlett is exhausted from using wind magic. Ashtas and the others temporarily retreat from the front line.

「We should be able to take it down if we push it a little more. Scarlett, can you use wind magic one more time?」

Is he for real? Even though four of his comrades die, he is still planning to fight? Will this guy act the same way even if his childhood friends Scarlett and Clarissa die?

「You’ve gotta be kidding me, Ashtas. I can’t stick with your shit anymore.」

After saying that, one of the surviving adventurers leaves the party and leaves. Well, I guess that was a natural choice. There is no need to risk your life to such an extent for a bronze rank promotion exam, after all. Even so, it seems that Ashtas still wish to continue fighting with their remaining members. True enough, the zone lord has suffered considerable injuries from the attacks by Ashtas and the others and its battles against the other adventurers, so there is a good chance that they will be able to subjugate it.

Scarlett drinks a low-grade blue potion and begins getting ready to cast magic again. I wonder if this is the so-called infatuation weakness, she seems to be doing whatever Ashtas says.

Scarlet’s wind magic once again attacks the zone lord’s mouth. The fire magic released from its mouth is blocked and blown up into the sky by the wind. Taking advantage of that opportunity, Ashtas and Clarissa charge at the zone lord and attack at. Ashtas and Clarissa attack the zone lord’s face and belly from the left and right one after another. Perhaps they will be able to defeat it soon. Scarlett reaches her limit and her wind magic ceases. At that moment, the zone lord suddenly moves backwards and keeps some distance, and instead of shooting flames from its mouth, it shoots off large fireballs one after another. Perhaps by chance, one of the fireballs is fired at Scarlett. Scarlett seems to have run out of magical energy, and her movements are slow. Just as she is about to get hit by the fireball, I use instant step to push her down and avoid it. The fireball that flies past us is extremely hot. It packs incredible firepower.
