The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 114 Part 1

Magic Goat

Now that we have defeated the zone lord Giant Sand Crab, we decide to move to the Magic Goat’s zone. The magic goat’s zone is far away, and it takes three days just to travel there, but it is almost ten days since it was defeated by the Golden Star, so maybe the timing is just right. It seems that the magic goat is the most difficult to defeat and has the highest mortality rate. The magic goat itself isn’t that strong, but it seems that it shoots one magic after another at you while running around. As you chase it through the forest, you will encounter various groups of monsters, and end up being surrounded by them and killed. In the Jet Black Sword, we have the nimble Lavina, Konmi, and also Zofie, so I think we will manage one way or another.

As we are walking through the forest, defeating the monsters we encounter, a large goat comes towards us from ahead.

「Ooh, to think we would encounter the zone lord so quickly. Everyone, make sure not to let your guard down. Magic is coming!」

As we brace ourselves, the goat instantly creates four fireballs and shoots them at us. Standing on the forefront, I block one of them with my shield, but I wonder if everyone is able to avoid the remaining three. The goat changes direction right in front of us.

「Alright, we’re chasing it.」

「You guys over there, hold it right there!」

At that moment, adventurers come running from the direction the goat was running from. They look exhausted.

「Haa, haa, we found that guy first. So don’t you lay your hands on it.」

Forming a line, the adventurers go off to chase after the goat. Damn it, if those guys defeat it, we’ll have to wait another ten days for it to respawn. It can’t be helped, shall we give it up this time?

We decide to change our objective from subjugating the zone lord to raising our levels and collecting materials, and spend the day defeating monsters. As we head to a safe area before the sun sets, we encounter the party that was chasing after the goat. All of them are in tatters and exhausted. Their number, which used to be eight, has been reduced to only five, and two of them appear to be seriously injured. I wonder if they managed to defeat the zone lord.

「Hey, did you guys defeat the zone lord?」

「Hmph, who knows.」

If they did defeat it, they should have said that they defeated it. They probably failed in subjugating the zone lord and lost three of their comrades. If left as they are, the lives of the two seriously injured members will probably be in danger, too.

「How about it? I don’t mind healing the two’s injuries in exchange for information.」

「R, really? Alright, then please.」

I ask Lunamilia to treat the two fallen adventurers and obtain information. With their numbers reduced, they will probably return to the above ground and look for new comrades, so in the meantime, we will defeat the zone lord.

「While we were exhausted from chasing the goat throughout the forest, we came across a troop of long-tailed monkeys, you see. Damn it, we were out of luck.」

Ashtas also said the same thing, didn’t he? I wonder if this is also the behavioral pattern of the goat.

「Did the goat attack you?」

「No, it did nothing but run around the whole time. But when we started fighting the long-tailed monkeys, it suddenly started shooting a barrage of magic at us. Damn it, it should have been an opponent that we could defeat easily if we fought normally, but….」

「Alright, I got the picture. Take care then.」

I see. From what they said just now, I can only think that the goat and the long-tailed monkeys are working together to attack the adventurer. While being chased by the adventurers, the goat whittles down their stamina, and then leads them to a troop of long-tailed monkeys when they are exhausted. While you get occupied with the monkeys’ melee attacks, the goat attacks you with a barrage of magic from a distance, huh. Now then, how should we deal with it?

While thinking of a plan to subjugate the goat, I invite Zofie out at night, ejaculate inside her vagina and her mouth one shot each, and then fall asleep while sensing the activation of Lunamilia’s sacred magic.

The next day, we go into the forest again to subjugate the zone lord. Today marks the first week of our stay in the labyrinth, so we have run out of vegetables and fruits. Regardless of whether or not we manage to subjugate the zone lord, I’d like to temporarily return to the above ground tomorrow.

After entering the forest for a while, we immediately spot the magic goat. It is unnatural that we are able to find it so easily in this vast forest. You could say that guy has shown itself in front of us. When the goat spots us, it throws two fireballs at us, but quickly starts to run away. We break into a run after it, and end up chasing it for a while. With its speed, it should be easy for it to get away from us, so as expected, it must be baiting us.

「Lavina, Konmi, follow the goat while looking out for enemies. If everything goes right, that guy will definitely lead us to a troop of long-tailed monkeys.」

「Got it-pyon.」

「I’ll do my best-konkon.」

The two, who are good at sensing the presence of enemies, lead the chase after the goat. After chasing it around for nearly an hour, Lavina and Konmi stop moving.

「I sense the presences of monsters ahead-pyon.」

「I don’t know the exact number, but there are a lot of them-konkon.」

Alright, everything goes as I expected it to be. We stop for a moment to come up with a strategy.

「Zofie, Konmi, can you use presence concealment?」

「Yes, I can. I’m an assassin, after all.」

「I don’t know if I can use it, but I’m good at erasing my presence-konkon.」

Konmi has never taken an appraisal, so she probably doesn’t know if she has presence concealment skill. However, from what I have seen thus far, she should definitely have it.

「Alright, there should be a troop of long-tailed monkeys ahead, and the magic goat somewhere in the distance. You two, while erasing your presence, circle around the area, close in on the goat, and attack it. Listen, you don’t need to take it down. As long as you can cut off its legs so that it can no longer escape, that’s good enough. The rest will work together to face the troop of long-tailed monkeys.」

Zofie and Konmi split off to the left and right while hiding their presence, and the rest head towards the troop of long-tailed monkeys, with me at the center. Ugh, there are twenty of them. We cannot let our guard down. As expected, with their ranks and number, they are not the kind of opponents that we can defeat without suffering any injuries, but fortunately, in the Jet Black Sword, we have Lunamilia, a monk. With her sacred magic-based healing, I don’t think we would die.

I take out a mithril alloy shield and fight while focusing on defense. Here it comes, a lump of earth suddenly flies from behind the troop of long-tailed monkeys, but I block it with my shield. From that attack just now, I wonder if Zofie and Konmi could pinpoint where the goat is. I fight next to Lunamilia, who is not very good at defense, while supporting her. Fortunately, Paula, Rosie, and Lavina are fighting in this group battle without much difficulty. We were truly lucky to be able to form a party with them.

I was wary of the goat’s magic, but none of it comes flying at us. I wonder if Zofie and Konmi have defeated it, or maybe it ran away. Well, as it allows us to concentrate on the long-tailed monkeys, the fight becomes much easier. Lunamilia doesn’t make many moves, but she inflicts a fatal wound on the long-tailed monkey with a single blow. When she swings down her magical energy-imbued metal rod, she crushes the monkey’s bones with a dull sound, rendering it unable to fight. Next to Lunamilia, I block the monkeys’ attack with my shield, slow their movements with a thrust attack with my sword, and have Lunamilia finish them off. Paula and Rosie are working together side by side, drawing out their swords and fighting the monkeys without facing any danger.

「Oraoraora.」

Lavina probably doesn’t have much leeway. She forgets her usual falsetto and goofy endings, but she confronts multiple monkeys at once, dodging their attacks and throwing punches at them one after another. It seems that the Beast Fighter job is quite advantageous in a fight against bipedal monsters. The monkeys try to hit Lavina, but she dodges their attacks with boxing-like footwork. That looks like a pugilist skill. It is probably quite strong against humans as well. I feel like all of our attacks will end up getting dodged. However, as the long-tailed monkey attacks her with its tail, probably unable to predict it, she is unable to dodge and ends up getting hit by the attack.

It seems that the monkeys, which are more than 20 in number, do not all attack at once, nor do they circle around and attack you in a pincer attack. I wonder if their intelligence level isn’t that high. It is a relief that there don’t seem to be any superior species. Some of the monkeys are watching the battle from the rear, or are observing the battle from the top of the trees, and each time a monkey fighting on the front-line falls, another one will take its place and join the front-line, something like that.

After a while, Zofie and Konmi show up from behind the long-tailed monkeys, surrounding them, and although it takes some time, we manage to annihilate them. There are twenty-six of them in total, huh. As expected, that was tiring. Everyone is exhausted and ends up suffering some minor injuries. However, for a wound of this level, my healing magic should be able to fully heal it.

「Zofie, Konmi, how did it go with the goat?」

「We took it down successfully.」

「It was surprisingly weak-konkon.」

As expected, it was a type of monster that specialized in evasion and attack magic, and its defensive capability was probably low. When I head to where it is to dismantle it, I find that it is dead with three of its legs and its head dismembered. My storage space has also gotten pretty full, so I guess all that is left is to go back to the above ground. Everyone is exhausted, so for today, we will head to the safe area, and tomorrow, we can take it easy and go back to the above ground. While defeating the monsters we encounter, we head back to the campground.

「Fwah~, it was a tiring day, so I’m going to sleep right away.」

As soon as we are done with our dinner, Zofie goes off to the tent to sleep. Part of it is probably because she is exhausted from fighting against the goat, but above all else, she must have been exhausted from having intense sex with me day after day. I guess I will take it easy and get myself some rest today. As I am preparing my sleeping bag, I spot Scarlett in the distance. Yay. I can have sex with her. Suppressing my lower body that is threatening to bulge up with body manipulation, I call out to Scarlett.

「Scarlett.」

「Ah, Sei, so you were here, too.」

「Are you guys from the Golden Star raising your levels here?」

「Yeah, jointly with another party. Not only will we have to spend money on lodging if we stay on the above ground, the labyrinth here is bright and comfortable, after all.」

Due to them ending up letting the porter they hired suffer a serious injury, the Golden Star were levied with a penalty of not being able to hire a porter for 10 days.
