The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 126 Part 2
「Tch, it’s nothing, alright, let’s take a short break.」
Rex and the others gather together and start to take a break. Lunamilia and I have a light meal at a place far away from those guys, and using body manipulation to enhance my hearing, I strain my ears to listen in to their conversation.
「God damn it, my arm, my arm.」
「Well, calm down. Once we finish this job, not only will we get a lot of money, I’ll let you do that woman called Lunamilia first, so cheer up.」
「Damn it, really?」
「Yeah, and from the feel of it, she’s definitely a virgin. You don’t have to join the suppon hunt, so just focus on recovering your strength. Hehehe, alright, let’s decide the order in which we’ll rape her, shall we?」
Yup, I’ll kill them. That calls for a sure kill. No, perhaps it’s not a good idea to commit murder in front of Lunamilia. Even if I don’t take their lives, let’s make them unable to work as adventurers again. If I make use of the suppons well, I should be able to make those guys suffer such heavy injuries that they won’t be able to work as adventurers again.
「Umm, Sei-sama, those people, they are somewhat unpleasant.」
「Hoh~」
If Lunamilia, who is pure and innocent and doesn’t know how to suspect others, says they’re unpleasant, they must be a very evil bunch. Still, Lunamilia’s attitude seems to harbor much more disgust than ever before. By any chance, I wonder if Lunamilia has acquired some kind of skill. Back in Amberlius, Mion once said so, didn’t she? That by repeatedly falling into danger, you can obtain a skill called danger detection. Lunamilia trusts me completely. If it’s the current me, I might be able to appraise her skills.
「Luna, do you trust me?」
「Yes, of course, Sei-sama.」
Sporting an expression that says, 「But of course」, Lunamilia looks at me with a sparkling gaze. Given things, I don’t think she would show even the slightest resistance against me. Alright, let’s do it. I circulate all the magical energy in my body and cast Appraisal on Lunamilia with all my might. Appraisal!
Lunamilia Tarte Art, Age 15, Level 36
Job: Priest
Skills: Sacred Magic 5, Body Enhancement 3, Magical Energy Manipulation 3, Material Enhancement 2, Malice Perception 1
Alright, success. As expected, Lunamilia has learned a skill called Malice Perception. It seems that Lunamilia has acquired a new skill from the many times she has been subjected to malice on the road and in the labyrinth. With this, the chance of her getting dragged into trouble should go down considerably. But still, her proficiency level in sacred magic is 5?! I have heard that the proficiency level of those who have obtained the job of priest is 4, but this is just too high. I wonder if there is something special about her. I tell Lunamilia that she has been granted a skill called Malice Perception.
「I see, it’s God’s work to bestow skills. Sei-sama, as I thought, you are…」
It seems like she’s getting the wrong idea about a lot of things. If I have to guess, I think that Lunamilia mistaking me for an apostle of God is contributing to her increased proficiency in sacred magic. At any rate, it’s not a bad thing, so I’ll let her continue to misunderstand.
「Hey, rookie, how long are you going to rest? Hurry up and go lure the suppon out.」
After advising Lunamilia to stay away from the river and Rex and the others, I once again grab the spear and search for the suppons. Now then, what should I do? Unlike before, these guys should be on the lookout for the suppons without letting their guard down. In that case.
I walk around the river while making full use of my magical energy perception skill to grasp the whereabouts of the suppons. Alright, I’ve found two. First, I’ll lure one of them. I poke one of the suppons I found with the tip of the spear and lure it to Rex and the others.
「Hey, rookie, what are you doing? Hurry up…」
「Look, I’ve lured it out.」
A suppon is approaching me from behind. This must be unexpected for Rex, who was planning to take the suppon’s lifeblood while I am being attacked by it.
「Tch, what a lucky bastard. Alright, rookie, I’ll teach you how to fight. Get in front of the suppon.」
「Nah, I’m good. Didn’t you say that I only have to lure it out, and there’s no need for me to fight? There’s no way I would put my life on the just for five small silver coins.」
「That’s…」
「Look, it’s coming.」
「Tch.」
Rex and the two adventurers stand in front of the suppon. If the suppon bites one of them, the other two can easily cut off its head and kill it, but as expected, no one seems to be willing to be the sacrifice, so they’re at a stalemate. I take this opportunity to conceal my presence, return to the river, and poke the second suppon with my spear. If a second one suddenly appears while they are fighting one, I don’t think they would be able to deal with it. When I lure the suppon out and return to where Rex and the others are, to my surprise, they have decapitated the suppon without suffering any injuries. The man who lost his arm from the elbow down earlier is holding a bottle and collecting the suppon’s lifeblood. Damn it, what a tenacious bunch they are. However, the second suppon is approaching right there. Now, what will you do?
「Hey, there’s another suppon here.」
Damn it, it seems they’ve noticed it already. It looks like I can’t catch them by surprise. However, Rex and the others are exhausted and breathing heavily. Do they have the stamina to fight another one right away?
「Hey, we’ve already got two bottles’ worth of blood, no? Let’s retreat now.」
「Stop saying such stupid things. With three bottles, we’ll get one large gold coin, you know? We can’t afford to let this opportunity pass, duh.」
Although his comrade advises him to retreat, Rex, who is blinded by rich, chooses to fight. The second suppon approaches them, stretching its heat toward Rex and launching a bite attack at him. Rex steps back and moves left and right to avoid the attack. That suppon, does it only have bite attacks in its arsenal? Its attack pattern is easy to read, and once you get used to it, it will be surprisingly easy to defeat, no? The suppon targets Rex again. Rex is exhausted and his movements are sluggish. Did it do it?
What!? The moment I thought the suppon’s bite attack on Rex would land, Rex slips and falls, resulting in him dodging it. As he is, he attacks the suppon’s outstretched neck with his sword, and as the other two attack it one after another, too, they eventually subjugate it. What a lucky bastard. What a pickle, with this, the request is complete. They plan to rape Lunamilia, so we have to be on our guard. Damn it, let’s try to lure out another suppon now. Rex and the others are exhausted, sitting down while looking up at the sky.
Using presence concealment, I return to the river and search for enemies. They are nowhere to be found. Screw it, as long as it has a high rank, it doesn’t matter if it’s not a suppon. I go down the river while using magical energy perception and presence detection. Damn it, I’ve gotten quite far away from Rex and the others, but I can’t find any monsters at all. Just when I am about to give up, I sense magical energy a little further down in the deeper area. The water is quite deep, so my appraisal can’t reach it. Alright, let’s bet on this guy. I heavily poke the tip of the spear at the spot where I sensed magical energy. I feel some feedback, but there is no reaction. *Bang, bang* When I poke it harder and harder, I sense a strong magical energy reaction. Not good, as I use instant step to move to my rear, multiple water cannons fly out of the water, aimed at the rock I was on. Then, the water bubbles up, and the monster that fired the magic reveals its true identity. Appraisal!
Flower-patterned Round Suppon, Rank 46
It, it’s huge. It’s probably more than five meters in length. In any case, it’s not an opponent I can fight and defeat on my own. This area, which is dominated by water, is too advantageous for that guy, so it won’t even be a fight. I try to move to the riverbank with instant step, but a wall of water rises in that direction, trapping me in. Not good, I can’t escape. I try to run in another direction, but end up getting completely surrounded by walls of water. This huge suppon stares fixedly at me, rousing its magical energy. This is bad, this is bad, there’s no way to escape. If I were to get pulled into the water, I wouldn’t be able to do anything against it. Damn it, with the resolve to die without surrendering, let’s attack it. However, it seems that this guy is planning to take me down with water magic, and is beyond my attack range. I don’t want to lose my precious mithril alloy iron balls, so I can’t use them. I take out my Old Magic Tree Staff from my storage and manipulate the river water to hit it with a water ball, but it doesn’t seem to be effective at all. This is bad, I wonder if it has water resistance. Not good, the suppon’s water magic is coming.
At that moment, an arrow of light comes flying from the sky and pierces the suppon’s neck. At that moment, sensing the magical energy in the walls of water weakening, I use full-strength body enhancement and charge into the wall of water, and manage to somehow break through, even though I get drenched in the process. I see Lunamilia, who has fired the evil warding arrow, on the riverbank.
「You saved me there, Luna.」
「Sei-sama, shall we fight back?」
「Nah, I don’t think we have any chance of winning in the water. Let’s lure this guy and pit it against Rex.」
I grab Lunamilia’s hand and run upstream towards where Rex and the others are. The suppon is closing in on us, making a rumbling sound, but we continue to hurry ahead. I don’t think it can move quickly against the current in the water. Alright, I can see Rex and the others. They happen to have just filled the third bottle with the suppon’s lifeblood and closed the lid. They look exhausted, but having completed the request, they have a satisfied look on their faces.
「Huh? Hey, rookie, where have you been up until now?」
「I’ve been luring a suppon here.」
「Huh? We’ve gotten enough already. Which means, your job is done. Hehehe, more importantly, I have something to tell you. Come over here.」
「Is that so? In any case, could you please take care of the suppon?」
Grabbing Lunamilia’s hand, I pass Rex and the others and move away from the river. The receptionist at the Adventurer’s Association said that suppons don’t leave the water’s edge. As such, if we move away from the river, it probably won’t attack us.
「Huh?」
「What’s that?」
Lunamilia and I hide ourselves in the thicket some distance away from the river. A huge suppon appears from downstream with the momentum of an avalanche. It is bleeding from its neck, at the place where the evil warding arrow was stuck, and although its expression is hard to read, it seems to be angry. Well, not only did it have its hibernation interrupted, it got stuck with an arrow, so I guess it’s only natural.
Rex and the others are confused, but still draw their swords and try to fight it, but the suppon creates countless water blades and fires them at them. Screams erupt on the riverbank, and Rex and the others; who have been hit by water blades all over their bodies, bleeding, and leaving the area in a splatter state; they eventually give up fighting and run away. After biting off the right arm of one of his comrades who is too slow to escape, the suppon disappears into the water. The bottles that are filled with the suppon’s blood are carelessly left on the riverbank, so while concealing my presence, I use instant step to get to them, quickly put them into my storage, and chase after Rex together with Lunamilia.
