The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 38 Part 2
But still, it sure was a hard fight, wasn’t it? Speaking of rank 28 monsters, they are the kinds of monsters that appear in the forty fifth stratum of the Amberlius Labyrinth. In order to defeat that wolf, the six of us had to surround it, and it still took us nearly 20 minutes. A few of such monsters would attack me at the same time, so as expected, I wonder if it is impossible for me to conquer the Amberlius Labyrinth for the rest of my life.
While we are on our way back after the break time, we can hear the cow’s way cry from far away. We 「also hear the cries of many adventurers. I wonder if they will put an end to it today.
「Hey! The voices are getting closer and closer! For now, let’s run for the top of the slightly elevated hill over there. With such slope, the cow shouldn’t be able to get up there.」
We run up the hill at once. The slope is so steep that we have to grab onto the trunks of the trees as we climb little by little. The voices of the adventurers are getting louder and louder. As expected, it seems that they are moving closer to us.
「You guys, especially you, Faye! Don’t ever think of exposing your dirty thoughts and try to attack it, okay? Erase your presence and don’t move from this place. You might find out just how terrifying that guy is.」
As we look in the direction where the noises come from, the cow finally makes its appearance. As I thought, it is huge. With its whole body covered in wounds, it looks as if it would collapse at any moment.
「Guuuuuuumoooooooooooo!」
The cow lets out a terrifying war cry. It swings its head around and slaughters the adventurers, piercing them with its horns. Its horns are stained with reddish-black blood, which is also proof that it has killed numerous adventurers.
「Surround it, surround it. Don’t stand in front of it. Aim your attack at its legs.」
A man who appears to be the leader gives out an order. The eight or so adventurers are showering it with attacks from the left, right, and rear, but don’t seem to do any damage. Suddenly, I can sense a flow of magical energy from the cow. After a while, the movements of the adventurers around it come to a halt.
「My legs, I can’t move my legs.」
「Hiii, run, run!」
「Not good. I can’t stand firmly because of the mud.」
「Help me, gyaaaaaa!」
The ground around the cow is turned into mud with its magic. As if to make fun of the immobilized adventurers, the cow launches a charge at them with its horns and head, creating a sea of blood one after another. As the gigantic black cow charges at them, the bodies of the adventurers ahead of it are rendered into a state as if they have been pressed into half their size in mid-air. The cow, with its tremendous volume, clads itself in magical energy and charges at the adventurers at a tremendous speed. At this point, their only option is to despair.
The cow comes to the area at the foot of the slightly elevated, about 10 meters tall hill where we are. Make it or break it, I concentrate on kneading my magical energy. Appraisal!
Black-haired Large Mud Cow, Rank 44
Although it consumed quite a lot of magical energy, the appraisal was a success. In the poster posted at the Adventurers’ Association, it was said that the estimated rank was 35 to 40, but it turns out to be much higher than that. Perhaps the cow has risen in rank after killing a large number of adventurers. As things stand, there is a possibility that it will keep on getting stronger and stronger.
Eventually, the knights may have to be mobilized. The rank 46 strong-armed baboon that I finished off in Sakuto Village brought about the sacrifice of a lot of knights. As such, the cow is probably too much for the adventurers of this city to handle. It is exactly in times like these that the silver-class adventurers should step up to the stage, but I wonder if Gorth and Zuma are not participating in this subjugation quest.
「Oh, it’s finally gone. That direction, it’s heading to the eastern forest, huh. As expected, I guess we should make this area our hunting ground for the time being.」
We return to the Adventurers’ Association and head to the material trading place.
「Hoh, this one is black iron, isn’t it? Moreover, it seems to be of high purity. I’ll buy this one alone for three small gold coins.」
「Does this monster often appear around this area?」
「I believe this guy appears in the forest further northeast every now and then. I guess it’s truly been a long time since I’ve bought one of these. There is also red iron wolf, but that guy’s rank is even higher than this one, you know? Moreover, it seems that its attack power is absurdly high. If you have a hard time with this one, I guess you should run away as soon as you see a red iron wolf.」
It seems that this world is crawling with even stronger and more outrageous monsters. The depths of the forests of this world are mostly unexplored domains. There is certainly romance in it, but it is filled with danger. They are places that seem unrelated to me, who is busy making a map of the first stratum of a beginner’s labyrinth.
When we are done selling the materials, everything earns us eight large silver coins per person. That is a fair amount of earning.
「Alright, we’ll be taking two days off. We will meet at the south gate at seven o’clock in the morning three days from now. We will continue the pioneering of the hunting ground we visited today.」
Two days, huh. I guess I will continue making a map of the labyrinth in the meantime. Before returning to the inn, I drop by the general store.
「Excuse me, is there a place that can make a big tub for me? One that’s about five times the size of this bucket.」
「In that case, I guess you have to try asking the craftsman directly. As long as you pay him, he will probably make you anything you want.」
I visit the craftsman to whom the store manager introduced me.
「A tub for bathing, you say? Hmm, well, as long as I get paid for it, I’ll make you anything you want, though. In what kind of shape do you want it to be?」
「If possible, I’d like to be rectangular, rather than round shaped. If it is round, I won’t be able to use it unless I’m in a large space, no? Let me see, I want it to be a rectangle with one meter and two meters side lengths. As for the depth, it’s 80 centimeters. The length doesn’t have to be exactly the same as what I just mentioned. Just make sure it is sturdy and won’t leak water.」
「I see. Alright, how about two small gold coins and five large silver coins? I’ll make you a tub you will be satisfied with. It’s just that, it’ll weigh quite a lot, though.」
「I’m fine with that. I’ll pay you one small gold coin in advance. I’m leaving it to you.」
「Let’s see, come back in a week. I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish it by then, but at that time, I should have a good idea of when it will be finished.」
Alright, with this, I will be able to take the bath, which I have been longing for. By storing the bathtub in the storage, I might be able to take a bath even when I dive into the labyrinth. Let’s try to set it in the yard of the inn and get in, shall we?
