Volume 4 Chapter 19 Another World Monster
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Damn! It’s deflecting Elitzina’s shots! Lina! Freeze it with your magic!”
After entering the crack in time and space, they advanced down the first passageway and encountered the first ‘Another World Monster’, which turned out to be a terrible creature.
It was a giant turtle with a carapace like a vine-like tentacle, identified as an ‘Another World Monster’.
Milly threw a small knife towards the Silver Big Turtle to draw its aggro, but it was deflected by its hard shell and nullified.
”Sorry, guys. I couldn’t get its attention! Watch out for its heat rays!”
Everyone reacted swiftly to Milly’s warning.
”Elder Sister! Kent! I’ll freeze it! Gather your magic elements! Become ice and never thaw, become eternal ice! Absolute Zero!”
Lina aimed her ice magic at the mouth of the Silver Big Turtle, trying to unleash a heat ray.
In an instant, the face of the Silver Big Turtle was covered in steam and froze.
However, they couldn’t stop the movement of the ten-meter-long Silver Big Turtle.
The ice covering its face turned back into steam due to the heat ray from its mouth.
”It’s angry! It’s targeting us… Its shell is too hard, our blades can’t cut through!”
”My battle axe can’t even make a dent in it…”
The Maid Warriors sighed in unison at the hardness of the Silver Big Turtle’s shell.
Even among ”Another World Monster’s’ known for their tough skin, the Silver Big Turtle’s shell was exceptionally hard.
”My Sword of Lion King and Sword of the Diamond King can only cut its legs and neck. If it retreats into its carapace, we won’t be able to do anything!”
Aurelia brandished her dual blades, attempting to strike a fatal blow against the Silver Big Turtle, but to no avail.
”Hahaha, it seems it’s my turn now. Kent, if you can smash the shell of this Silver Big Turtle, I want a reward. I won’t be satisfied with just money or things…”
Dee turned her ferocious smile towards me.
Her requested reward would likely be to increase her work shifts.
Recently, I learned from the bath attendant that she’s planning to create a fait accompli by having a child before her father comes to pick her up, ensuring she can continue living with me.
”Sure. If you smash the shell, I’ll think of a reward.”
”As expected of Kent. With this, I can fight with all my might!”
Dee clenched her fist and took a light step, instantly closing in on the Silver Big Turtle.
She unleashed a straight punch towards the shell.
The turtle couldn’t prevent her approach due to her speed.
Dee’s fist grasped the shell.
Cracks spread across the surface of the shell.
”It seems it won’t break with just one hit…”
Dee leaped onto the shell of the Silver Big Turtle and struck another punch.
The shell, now filled with cracks, shattered and scattered, leaving the turtle completely exposed, emitting a scream-like sound.
”Dee-Dee, that’s amazing! You shattered the shell!”
”There’s nothing that can’t be crushed by me, Ines.”
”Thanks to Dee-Dee, we can attack the soft skin hidden beneath the shell. Feria, charge!”
With the hard shell broken by Dee, exposing the turtle, Feria and Ines unleashed their slashes.
Their axe blades tore through the soft skin, causing blue bodily fluid to gush out.
”Yes! With this, we can get Mr. Kent’s reward!”
Feria got fired up and started attacking the turtle’s abdomen.
”I’ll get a reward too! I won’t let you have it all to yourself, Dee-Dee!”
I don’t know how it happened, but it seems that I’m the one who’s supposed to reward everyone after we defeat the Silver Big Turtle.
It’s not a problem for me, but if that’s what gets everyone motivated, I’ll take them up on it.
”This is a big deal! For the prosperity of the Vermillionblade family, I must receive Lord Kent’s seed!”
Aurelia, who had been listening to the MaidWarriors, joined the reward battle line.
Aurelia cast Body Enhancement Magic, and her body was enveloped in a red light, enhancing her arm strength.
She swung her sword with the increased arm strength, surpassing the speed of sound and sending out a shockwave towards the Silver Big Turtle.
The shockwave emanating from the sword tip hit the Silver Big Turtle, slicing through its skin, causing it to ooze out blue bodily fluid that dyed the silver floor blue.
”That’s not fair! I was the first to make a promise with Kent! I’ll be the one to deliver the final blow to the Silver Big Turtle!”
Dee, thinking that she would take the reward from me, landed a knee kick on the head of the Silver Big Turtle, which had lost bodily fluid and slowed down.
The Silver Big Turtle’s head, receiving Dee’s exceptional attack power, exploded without retaining its original shape.
The ‘Another World Monster’, having lost its head, collapsed to the ground as the power left its massive body, and a large amount of bodily fluid sprayed from its head, dyeing the surroundings blue.
”Ah! Dee-Dee just delivered the final blow!”
”Oh…”
Ines and Aurelia were near the Silver Big Turtle’s massive body, looking disappointed as they were drenched in the bodily fluid that gushed out like a fountain.
”Don’t worry about Ines and Aurelia. There seem to be plenty of ”Another World Monster’s’. I can give out as many rewards as needed.”
”Mr. Kent is so motivated!”
”Kent! You’re making so many seed-related remarks! But I want that reward too!”
”Lina’s motivated too. I want Kent’s reward as well, so I’ll do my best!”
Even Milly and Lina joined the battle.
”Everyone, your ulterior motives are so obvious. Please be careful not to get hurt by your greed. As for me, I’ll pass… no, I’ll be blunt──!”
I moved behind Talia, gently stroking her tail with the famous Garuda Clan brush.
This brush was from my personal collection, separate from the one I gifted to Talia.
As she received the brushing on her tail, Talia collapsed to the ground.
”Haa, haa, Sir Kent, when did you get such a brush…?”
”I thought this brush would be a good reward for Talia. I bought it separately and kept it in my collection.”
”As I mentioned before, you can’t brush me in public!”
”Then, I’ll take you to my room and carefully brush your tail.”
Hearing my words, Talia’s face turned bright red, and she started to grin.
Probably, she’s imagining an intense brushing session with me.
”W-Well, I’m not aiming for the brushing, I’m just focusing on my work!”
Talia seemed to have decided to join the reward campaign.
With this, all members of the raid party had declared their participation, so I decided to give each of them a reward after sealing the crack of time and space.
Then, we continued our exploration of the crack of time and space, searching for the next ‘Another World Monster’.
”Still, this place is like a cave.”
The torch Milly created with her magic flickered unsteadily, affected by the lack of magic element.
”Yes, as the crack of time and space ages, the layers and traps increase, and the ‘Another World Monster’ grows. And the crack itself gradually widens over time.”
”Then, this crack of time and space occurred a long time ago? I heard it’s a large-scale one that happens once in a hundred years.”
Milly pondered upon hearing my question.
”That’s strange… It’s not right. The cave structure is simple, and there are no traps, but it’s odd to see so many large-scale ‘Another World Monster’s’ placed here. This must be a very unusual Crack of Time and Space.”
The crack of time and space that occurred this time was a rather special type of crack, with a simple structure considering its size, and many of the other world monsters being large.
”Lucky or unlucky, I wonder?”
”Well, at least we can make some money here. We need to earn some gold coins for the Estfort development and the rent for the town streets. We can’t afford to miss this opportunity.”
”Sure thing. I’ll make sure to earn a decent amount from these large monsters.”
Feria’s excitement was palpable as she eagerly anticipated her next target.
”Good news, Feria! Another monster is approaching from the front.”
At Milly’s warning, the group quickly prepared for battle.
In the flickering torchlight, a massive scorpion, ten meters long, revealed itself.
”Silver Scorpion! Be careful of its giant pincers and venomous stinger!”
The Silver Scorpion leaped at Feria, skillfully using its pincers to pin her down.
”Eek! I’m bound!”
The Silver Scorpion, who successfully pushed Feria down and then thrusts a poisonous needle from its tail in an attempt to weaken its prey so that it could not escape.
Just before the poison stings thrusts into Feria’s thighs, Aurelia’s sword tip succeeded in slashing the poison sting.
”It’s in time”
”Ms. Aurelia, Thank you! It’s such a cruel person who wants to make a hole in a maiden’s soft skin!”
The Silver Scorpion, which was slashed by the poison sting, began to generate new poison stings.
The part that was cut off and disappeared has been created again.
”Dee will save Feria”
When Dee approaches the Silver Scorpion, she will remove the scissors that are binding Feria from the body.
When Dee throws the scissors he has taken, Feria is free to go and picks up the axe he has dropped.
In the meantime, the Silver Scorpion had regenerated the lost scissors in the same pale luminescence as before.
”This guy, let’s play”
”It’s okay! I’ll extinguish it! Collect it and magic element! Become a fierce fire and burn your enemies with the Crimson flame! ‘Burning Flame!”
Lina clenched the magic stone towards the Silver Scorpion and read out the magic composition.
The completed magic begins to blow a huge flame from where the Silver Scorpion was, and the body of the Silver Scorpion is burning more and more.
The flame that had spread to its body did not go out, and the fire became even stronger.
