The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 84 Part 2

「Sei, attack is coming! Take cover!」

The flying purple spider is shooting water magic like crazy from the top of the tree. I see, if it stays on top of a tree, we would have no choice but to suffer from its attacks one-sidedly. I wonder how Mireia defeated such a guy all by herself. I gather stones and throw them at it again. I wonder if the flying purple spider has learned its lesson. When I throw a stone at it, it jumps to a nearby tree and evades. When I throw another stone at it, it fires a water cannon at me in return. Not good, this guy seems to have pretty good learning ability. It aims at the moment I get into the position for throwing and fires a water cannon at me. On top of that, it is a pretty accurate attack, so I can’t throw a rock at it carelessly.

「Mireia, what are you doing?!」

Coming to the front of the flying purple spider, Mireia is avoiding the water magic flying at her. She may be able to avoid it because there is some distance between them, but that guy’s attack is pretty accurate and fast. I end up getting a chill as I watch it.

「If you keep dodging like this, it will get irritated and attack you with a bite. We’ll aim for that moment and take it down.」

So Mireia says, but there is no faintest sign that the spider will jump toward her. I try to throw a stone at the spider while Mireia is drawing its hate, but it shoots threads from its tail to keep me in check as well. What a pickle. This might turn into a drawn-out battle. That guy doesn’t seem to show any signs of moving from the top of the tree. In that case, let’s forcibly make it move.

I take out my mithril-alloy sledgehammer and channel magical energy into it. Whuoo, so heavy. It would definitely be of no use against an opponent with agile movements. However, it packs a terrifying amount of attack power, and as long as it hits, I feel like it would be able to inflict a fatal injury even to a high-ranked monster with a single blow.

I move closer to the tree where the flying purple spider is with instant step and give the tree trunk a full-power full swing with my sledgehammer. With a loud thud, the tree shakes and slowly falls over.

Maybe it doesn’t understand what has happened, or maybe it is unable to move because of the vibration from the sledgehammer attack. The spider continues to cling to the tree and falls toward the ground without moving.

There is no way Mireia would miss this opening. She moves closer to it with instant step and launches a series of attacks. Having lost most of its legs, I don’t think the flying purple spider will be able to leap and escape at this point. All it can do is throw attacks using water magic. It is unable to dodge Mireia’s attacks. When Mireia slashes both of the spider’s eyes, its water magic loses its brilliance. All that’s left is to take our time to finish it off. I and Mireia attack the spider while pincering it. Since its body is not as large as that of a giant purple spider, it is easy to crush its internal organs, and it doesn’t take long for us to finish it off. When I appraise it, I find that it is rank 41.

「Phew, I never thought we would be able to defeat it this easily.」

「I don’t think it was easy at all, but… Is that so?」

「Yeah, in the past, it took me several days to beat it, you see. After all, you can’t help but suffer from the one-sided attacks it launches from long distance, and when you dodge all of it, it sometimes jumps at you and launches a bite attack toward you. And that’s the only time your sword can reach it.」

「I see, I’m glad that my throwing was of use.」

After taking the magic stone out of the flying purple spider, even though it is still a little early, we head back home. Phew, I am crazy tired. We managed to subjugate it without suffering any injuries, so I guess I ought to obediently feel happy here.

「If we sell this magic stone, I wonder how much it will go for.」

「You can have it, Sei.」

「There’s no way I can accept that. This is my first time seeing a fifth-grade magic stone, so after checking its selling price at the Adventurers’ Association, I’ll pay you half of it.」

「In that case, how about I take you magical energy restorative medicines as the payment?」

「We’re a party, right? Sharing medicines is also something that I ought to do, so if you need some, I’ll give you as many as you want.」

「A party, huh? I see, got it.」

Mireia seems a little happy. Up until now, she has never formed a party with anyone, after all. As for the materials for the magical energy restorative medicines, I have a monopoly over the forest of death. I can make as many medicines as I want, so there should be no problem with it. It is just that, if I continue to make medicines at this rate, there is a possibility that I will run out of propagating magic moss. Maybe I need to go to the lower reaches of the creek at some point.

◇ ◇ ◇

「Huh, five small gold coins, you say?!」

I am surprised to hear the price of a fifth-grade magic stone at the Adventurers’ Association’s magic stone trading counter. A sixth-grade magic stone is five large silver coins, so it is ten times over.

「That’s right. The purchase price is a flat rate, after all.」

「Why is it so expensive?」

「I don’t know the details, but it seems that they are used in enchantment magic or something. So, what will you do? Are you going to sell it?」

Enchantment magic, huh. I think Buckworth, the magic blacksmith in Amberlius, once mentioned such a thing. The knights of Neurath also used swords enchanted with wind elements to make amazing attacks against the labyrinth lord. I wonder if I can use enchantment magic, too. Let’s look into it when I get the chance.

I am not troubled with money, so I decide to hold off on selling the magic stone, pay Mireia two small gold coins and five large silver coins, and then go to the restaurant to have dinner.

Lorraine is… nowhere to be seen. We go into a private room and order a large amount of food. I am really hungry today.

「Sei, we are truly lucky today. I never thought throwing would be that effective.」

「You’re right, I doubt anyone would believe that the two of us defeated such a high-ranked monster on our own.」

Well, Mireia took one down on her own, though. My level has gone up and I am now level 41. I have not experienced running out of magical energy for a while now.

「As I thought, it’s important to adjust your battle method depending on the monster, isn’t it? I’ve seen high level knights enter the forest of death and fought against a giant purple spider before, but half of them died and the rest ended up running away, unable to subjugate it, you see.」

「Hmm? I think a Knight Order would manage one way or another against a single giant purple spider, though.」

「About that, you see, the Knights formed a battle formation and faced the giant purple spider in group, confronting it while focusing on the defensive.」

「Well, I guess that’s just how a Knight Order fights.」

「The giant purple spider shot one thread after another, and in the blink of an eye, the group was caught in its threads, and as they got flooded with poisonous water, they ended up getting trampled down, you see.」

「Ah, in order to deal with the giant purple spider, you have to drop your defenses, focus on evasion, and fight it at close range, after all.」

It really takes courage to abandon defense and fight at close range in front of lethal poisonous fangs. At close range, you can avoid the poisonous water and dodge the threads before they spread. I guess it would be difficult for heavily armed knights.

As we discuss going deeper into the forest little by little and down the creek, we finish dinner and leave the restaurant.

「Mireia, don’t go deep into the woods alone, okay?」

「You sure are a worrywart, Sei. Don’t worry, I know best how scary the forest can be, after all.」

「That’s true, but…」

「Fufufu, you’re the only one who worries about me, Sei.」

「We’re a party, after all. What to do, shall I walk you home?」

「It’s fine. Now then, good night, Sei.」

「Good night, Mireia.」

The moonlight illuminates the beautiful girl’s dress and sword, giving rise to a slightly magical air. I see off Mireia until I can no longer see her and then go back to the inn. While I am drinking a glass of wine at the tavern, a woman I don’t know calls out to me. She has a short stature and a girlish face that still has a hint of immaturity, reminding me of Mion. Let’s spend the night with this woman.

We head to my room, clean both of our bodies with magic, and then go to bed. She is a pretty thin woman. I wonder if she is from an orphanage. I don’t want to burden her body too much, so I caress her body gently, and when her secret place begins to get wet, I slowly insert my meat rod into her. I ejaculate inside her vagina once in the missionary position, and once more in the doggy position matching the timing of the woman’s climax, and then go to sleep.
