Mr. Nobu’s Otherworld Chronicles - Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Requital of Softies

 

I proceeded onward after confirming Tama-chan's status . We don't know if more people will come along after all .
Tama-chan seems to be exhausted from either her evolution or from losing too much mana, she's currently resting in her exclusive bag on my waist .
Lunar Cat's blade's gotten quite chipped, but it should get back to form soon . More mana than the usual is flowing into it .

Come to think of it, did the Orc Shielder drop anything?

Two golden balls and a largish Soul Stone are on the ground .

Golden Ball of Orc Shielder
Quality: Good
Remarks: If processed with alchemy, it's very effective to cure infertility or impotency, and to also raise vigor . Higher quality than your average orcs' .

You won't just say testic*** outright huh Discerning-sensei .
Most importantly, this stuff seem to be very effective . Should fetch for high price if I processed these and sold them to some un-standing nobles .
The Soul Stone is yellow huh . Should be relatively pricey .
Really helps, since I've used up quite a lot of iron spears and for repair .

I went down the stairs in the boss room and headed for the Port Crystal at 6F . Let's confirm my status while walking . Should be lots of new stuff .

. . . My mana is over 500,000!? Since an average magician adventurer's MP is around 100, I've got about 5,200 people worth of mana huh . . . From now on, it might be a good idea to ignore mana consumption and focus on increasing activation speed, strength, and putting additional effects instead . For now, I'll set the third class be Magic Swordsman .

And here's the liberated magic

【Space Time Magic】
Highly difficult magic capable of manipulating space and time . Consume a huge amount of mana, very few managed to use this magic .
Lv1 - Space Camouflage - spell to distort space, making it difficult to discern

Sure a lot of new things . I guess Space Camouflage is sort of like magical version of Tama-chan's camouflage . There might be more pursuers on 6F, I should use it before proceeding .

"Space Camouflage . "

With a 'Von' sound, the scenery around me felt like blurring . Does it mean it's in effect?
It's hard to distinguish from inside . Let's ask someone to check for me later .
I should get back to the ground while this is in effect . I'm worried about Sefi-san's safety .


After descending for some time, I found myself at a room as large as a gymnasium with a Port Crystal in the center . Multiple parties are taking a break and having meal around it . Geez, every one of them look like my pursuer to me . Why am getting paranoid when I didn't even do any crime .
I should consult to Master once I've ascertained that Sefi-san's safe outside . I prefer not to cause him any problem if possible, but we're in a state of emergency . I've already gotten him involved by asking to take care of Sefi-san's protection though .
Forgive me for being such an unreliable pupil .

Tip-toeing .
I slowly approach the Port Crystal while being careful not to make a sound .

BAM



Something wrong happened when I was a few meters away from the crystal .
Ouch ouch ouch ouch!
A bear trap has deeply dug into my leg . Why the heck's there a trap in a place like this!?
The Space Camouflage's effect was cut off due to the damage, and all the adventurers in the area looked at the suddenly appearing me like I was their prey .

"Target sighted! Hyahhaa, he went and got himself in the trap . "

"Dunno what trick he used to hide himself this long, but the special prize belongs to our party!"

"Oy! Call Shikkiro-san and the others waiting above!"

"Uhoo, what a nice boy!"

I'm completely surrounded by the time I managed to get myself off the bear trap . Something weird was mixed in among them too . . .
I mean, all these adventurers are hired by Jamito!? There's around 20 people at least .
That guy went this far just to get me alone . Frankly, I underestimated him . I put on multiple defensive magic while healing myself .
Arrows come raining down all at once . Truly rain of arrow .

"Wind Wall!"

The swirling wind repelled the arrows, flicking them down to the ground .
I ponder while maintaining the wind wall . Now then, what to do .
I've dived into the dungeon to prevent collateral damage, but that's not possible here . I dunno what's waiting for me at the destination if I use Port Crystal either . With this many people, they'd be like, 『Police-san, that's the guy!』 and I'd be labeled the criminal instead .
Good grief, what a massive blunder .
But there's no point grieving .
I put more mana into Wind Wall and leave it be . It should disappear on its own once it runs out of mana .
I prepare the next spell . Decrease the damage yet extend the range, make it crawl along the ground and thin the part around the Port Crystal just in case . All's good so long the enemy are numbed . The mana consumption is of no concern .
The scenery cleared up once the Wind Wall disappeared . The enemy archers are getting ready with their bows again, but I'm quicker!

"<<Electro Spark>>!"

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT

Electricity spreads all around me like a spiderweb . Any adventurers that tried to go against it and touch it bent their body backward while convulsing .

"Gihii"

"Abababababa"

"Rebuun"



"COMIIIIIIIIIING"

Only around 10 adventurers got knocked down . Archers and magicians who were staying behind the line from the beginning were outside the range . And I can't let my guard down against several adventurers who managed to dodge the spell despite seeing it for the first time . Doesn't seem like I have any chance to check their status though!


I rushed toward the direction where everyone were keeled over and drew out Lunar Cat . Striking the bewildered magicians with the back of the blade .

"tokachi"

The knocked out somersaulting magician . He shouldn't be dead since I used Un-Slash . I hope!
I head for the stairs to 5F while mowing down some nearby hunters . I should be able to avoid a one-versus-many situation if it were in a tight passage . I run out at full speed with that thinking .


BAM


Whaat!?
I tumbled down when my leg got caught in another bear trap that wasn't there when I first arrived here . The pain made me think that my leg was about to be torn off since I was running off thoughtlessly . Even with Stone Skin reducing the damage, the digging jaws really hurt .

"Hn, gaaaaaaah"

I got the bear trap off of me with brute force once again, but the other people had gathered here before I noticed .
I limp away while dragging my leg .

"Hehehehe, don't think ya can underestimate Trapmaster's traps . "

Must be a skill to either produce or set up traps . Truly repulsive . Dirty, Trapmaster, yer dirty!
I healed my wound with High Heal while thinking so . Nine opponents remaining .

I meddle with my mana while pretending to kneel on the ground . Magicians probably noticed it, but it's fine so long I can deal with the troublesome trapmaster . Time to get knocked out, you!

"Majestic Stone Fist Break <<Titan Clash>>!"

BOOOOOM

Fist-sized stone pillars rose up from the ground below these adventurers .

CLIIIIINK

"Sbeets!?"

"Gufua!"

"Ahiiin"

Two people were able to react against the attack that suddenly sprung out of the ground below . The rest were knocked out .
Never thought that this spell I made as a joke would prove useful . It's fast to activate and easy to control .
The trapmaster seems to have fainted with bubbles on his mouth . I especially put more mana on his, no regret . What if he got smashed? I could only pray for him to live another life then .

"This guy sure uses some nasty magic . Hell, he's been using nothing but unknown magic . Not sure if the pay is worth it . "

The leading adventurer wearing light swordsman type equipment blurted out so while looking at me . He's obviously way more experienced than the other guys . The aura around him is clearly different . I recalled that he was one of the guys who were guarding Jamito .

"But playtime's over now . You'd better come along quietly . Otherwise, I'll hafta cut your tendon to stop you from moving . "

He's not joking . His eyes are seriously saying that . But hell if I surrender to this guy .
I calm my breath and ready my Lunar Cat . Dunno if it's instinct or something, but he dodged magic . I'd have to keep watch on my surroundings, but I have no choice but to fight in close quarter .

"Tch, ya wanna go huh, what a pain . No choice, guess I gotta earn my keep . "

He's walking toward me like he's taking a stroll with short swords in both hands . Even though I can't feel any motivation in his actions, I've got a bad feeling about it somehow .
I swing down Lunar Cat as if to shake that away .

slip

The guy easily parried Lunar Cat with a movement that sounded like the above, and went into my bosom .

Oh crap!?

I don't care if it's unshapely . I roll away to try to dodge the attack, but the light swordsman cut up my side with the other blade he held .
The cut wasn't too deep thanks to Mana Clad .
I took some distance away while rolling on the ground .

"Ara ara, I thought I got you there . Kukuku, that's some nice vigor . "

The way he talks creeps me out somehow . However, contrary to that, his two swords are cornering me .
I'm completely on the defensive . The people numbed by my magic have also recovered though I've got no time to mind them . Damn it, what should I do .

FWOSH

STAB

"Aa!?"

And that was when . I took an arrow in the leg .
