The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 167x

Intermission

In the deep forest at the foot of the demonic dragon mountain range, there was a small village built unbeknownst to anyone.

With all the inhabitants sporting long ears, it was a settlement of elves. Thanks to the sprinkling of holy water over many years, the whole area was a safe zone to which monsters didn’t roam close. This place was near the entrance to the long and large labyrinth that spread beneath the demonic dragon mountain range, connecting the Kingdom of Estorias and Elvescoot, and was one of the transit points to the land of commonfolks.

「W, what’s that?」

Surrounding it was a forest dominated by high-ranked monsters. The settlement, which had been able to maintain its peace thanks to the holy water, was suddenly hit by an earth-shaking sound.

The sound, which at first was just a rumbling sound audible from a distance, gradually moved closer to the settlement while shaking the ground. After a while, the source of the sound became clear. A fire dragon and a crimson bear were fighting fiercely and rushing into the settlement.

When the fire dragon breathed powerful fire at the crimson bear, it burned not only the crimson bear but also the entire village.

「Not good! Run, run–!」

「Kyaa–!」

「Ah, the house is burning!」

「It’s not the time to worry about such a thing, for now, just focus on running away.」

The settlement fell into chaos, and the elves were panicking. However, the fire dragon and the crimson bear didn’t pay them any mind and continued to unleash powerful attacks at each other.

「Listen, we’re abandoning the settlement! Run to the maze labyrinth. Head to Elvescoot as a group!」

At the command of the chief, who looked young and had beautiful flowing blonde hair, the elves all evacuated to the labyrinth at once. The chief alone ran around the settlement to see if there were any survivors.

「Mother, what are you doing? Please run away.」

「Ares, I will fulfill my duties as the chief and as the successor of the Melfeshart family to the very end, but you should run away quickly.」

「In that case, I’ll accompany you. With two people, we should be able to look around faster.」

「Very well, let’s hurry.」

The settlement was engulfed in flames. The two elves looked around, but it seemed that no one had been left behind. However, the fire dragon and the crimson bear, which were engaging in a ferocious battle to the death, blocked their path, blocking the way to the labyrinth.

The fire dragon spat out a powerful breath at the crimson bear, but the crimson bear, which had resistance to fire magic, withstood it and used its sharp claws to break through the fire dragon’s hide and inflict a fatal blow. In the forest engulfed in flames, the body of the crimson bear, which had delivered the finishing blow to the demonic dragon, could be seen growing larger through the flames. This was the existential evolution of the crimson bear.

「The path to the labyrinth is blocked. I suppose there’s no other choice, we’ll take refuge in a commonfolks town for now.」

The two started running through the dangerous forest of the demonic dragon mountain range, heading for the nearest town in the Kingdom of Estorias.

「Kueeee–!」

A large demonic bird blocked their path.

The demonic bird spat out a powerful breath at them.

「Mother–!」
