The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 117 Part 1

The Final Battle

Chirp, chirp, chirp.

After ejaculating inside Zofie’s mouth and vagina one shot each early in the morning, we get ready to depart.

When we enter the labyrinth and spend a day making our way to the safe area of our destination, we find that there is only one party of five adventurers there. I wonder if they are also aiming to subjugate the labyrinth lord. If so, then that means they are rivals. The labyrinth is pretty large. I would like to believe that no conflict will occur.

When we are done having dinner and are engaging in a casual talk, the group of five adventurers approach us. Everyone is watching out for them silently.

「Ah, my bad, did we alarm you? I’m Dylan, a bronze-rank adventurer.」

The leader of the group of five calls out to us. He is probably in his thirties, and if he has already been promoted to bronze-rank, why is he here?

「I’m Sei, the leader. Do you need something?」

Not even sparing me a glance Dylan and the others look around at my comrades scrutinizingly. Except for me, we are a party consisting of nothing but women. Perhaps they are looking down on us. Don’t tell me, aiming for the women, they won’t go as far as attacking us, will they?

「Yeah, given that you guys are here, you must have come to subjugate the labyrinth lord, no? We are using this area as a hunting ground, but a short while ago, we happened to spot the labyrinth lord, you see? That guy is a formidable enemy, so as opposed to fighting it, we chose to run away. If you want, I don’t mind telling you where that guy is.」

That would be a godsend. However, what kind of benefit do those guys get out of it? I wonder if they are doing it simply out of kindness.

「We would much appreciate it if you could give us some information about the labyrinth lord’s whereabouts. However, doing so won’t earn you guys any benefit, no? So why would you tell us about it?」

「It’s nothing that complicated. That guy is a formidable enemy, so if you guys defeat it, we will be able to continue with our hunt with peace of mind. It’s fine even if you don’t want to know about it, but this labyrinth is huge. If you miss the opportunity to subjugate that guy, who knows when you’ll be able to encounter it again. Now, what are you going to do? I don’t care either way, though.」

It looks like there is no harm in accepting the information. Even if the information is wrong, it’s not like it will be detrimental to us in any way. I decide to have Dylan tell me the whereabouts of the labyrinth lord. The labyrinth lord tends to move from place to place, so it seems that there is no guarantee that it will still be there, but it allows us to narrow down the area to a certain extent, so it should save us a lot of time looking for it.

It bothers me that those guys keep ogling, directing their eyes at Lunamilia and the others from beginning to end, but perhaps they are getting backed-up from staying in the labyrinth for so long. Taking into account the possibility of being attacked, I guess we need to take turns acting as night watches today.

While being wary of those guys, we take turns standing watch and sleeping in preparation for tomorrow.

The next day, those guys don’t show any particular movement. Even now, they appear to be having a leisurely breakfast in a place far away from us.

「Alright, it’s time to depart.」

After putting our preparations in order, we head to the place where the labyrinth lord is, which we learned from those guys. We run into monsters over and over again, but we eventually make it to the actual location. Just in case, I have Lavina and Konmi watch out for our rear, but there doesn’t seem to be any sign that the adventurers are following us. However, those guys know where we are heading, and since there are no other adventurer parties in this area, it should be possible for them to track us based on our footprints while keeping a distance. We must never let our guard down.

The place where the labyrinth lord is, which we learned from those guys, is around the grassland located beyond the forest. There it is. That is, a panda?!

「So cute! Sei-sama, is that the labyrinth lord?」

「You’re right. Somehow, I feel like I’m losing my will to fight. Are we really going to fight that one?」

The labyrinth lord’s name, Kumaneko, refers to panda, huh. It is certainly cute. However, it is one size larger than Earth’s panda.

「Don’t be fooled by its appearance. That guy is probably of the same kind as bears. It should be as strong as its rank tells.」

「If it’s a bear, then I guess it’s my turn as a beast fighter-pyon.」

「With Lavina’s fist fighting techniques, it’s easy for her to dodge a bear’s attack-konkon.」

If I remember it currently, fist fighting techniques are strong not only against humans, but also against bipedal monsters such as bears and monkeys. Alright.

「In that case, Lavina and I will take care of the front side. Everyone else, please attack from its flanks and rear. If it turns around and attacks you, make sure to keep your distance, okay? I and Lavina will take care of the front side all the time, after all.」

As we are confirming our strategy, Lunamilia offers a suggestion.

「Sei-sama, shall I attack it with my sacred magic, evil warding arrow, first?」

「An arrow magic, is it? However, given the distance, do you have the confidence that it will hit?」

「It will be alright. Sacred magic is sure to hit. All I do is put my prayer on my magical energy and send it to the heavens.」

Are you serious? As I thought, be it in terms of healing or attacking, sacred magic is cheat magic. If you were to ask me, 「What part of magic is it that is difficult?」, that would be activating it without disturbing your mind during battle and making it hit the target. If you place too much emphasis on firepower, it will become difficult to hit the target, after all. The reverse is also true. No matter how you slice it, sure-hit is too much of a cheat. At any rate, let’s do our best to avoid making enemies of monks and priests who can use sacred magic.

「Alright, in that case, we’ll use Luna’s magic activation as a signal to launch an attack.」

I wonder if the labyrinth lord has noticed us. It looks like it is just lazing around without paying any attention to us. So cute. Still, it sure takes a long time to activate sacred magic. Lunamilia seems to have been mumbling and chanting what sounds like words of gratitude to the gods since a while ago.

「Evil warding arrow.」

The sacred magic is finally activated. An arrow of light appears above Lunamilia’s head and flies towards the labyrinth lord.

「Let’s go.」

As I and Lavina charge towards the labyrinth lord, the other members split off to surround it a beat later. When the evil warding arrow hits the labyrinth lord in the abdomen, it glares at us with an enraged look on its face. Its eyes are bright red, making it extremely scary. The arrow disappears after a while. There are traces of bleeding from the wound, staining the panda’s white fur red.

「I take back my previous statement. It’s not cute at all.」

Looking at it up close, the panda doesn’t look cute at all, it looks more like a black and white bear with ferocious eyes. Appraisal!

 

Kumaneko, Rank 38

 

Alright, exactly as the information we got in advance. Lavina, standing one step in front of the panda, throws a series of punches at it.

「Oraoraora!」

I think each punch packs incredible might, but it doesn’t seem like it is working at all. Lavina’s voice is also two octaves lower than usual, which implies that she doesn’t have much leeway. As expected, this guy is of the same kind as bears, and is probably pretty strong against blows. Slashing attacks don’t seem to work either, so a thrusting attack with a spear would probably be better. I take out my black iron spear from my storage. This guy also has high attack power and has no need of channeling magical energy into its attack, but its drawback is that it is extremely heavy. If things get dangerous, let’s throw away the spear and switch to a sword.

Even as it gets showered with attacks by Lavina, the labyrinth lord swings down its left and right sharp claws. Its claws are extremely large, and as they got swung down, they make a *vwoooosh* sound as they drag along the wind. If you were to get hit even by a single of it, you would probably suffer a fatal injury. Lavina continues to dodge its attacks while making use of the footwork of her fist fighting techniques, but just watching her gives me a chill.

In the meantime, everyone else takes a position around the panda and starts attacking it. In order to draw the panda’s attention towards me, I thrust the spear into its stomach while using full-strength body enhancement. As expected, this spear boasts incredible attack power. Although there is some resistance, the tip of the spear easily pierces the abdomen of the labyrinth lord, which seems to have great defense.
