Chapter 416 Fers Nasty Plan

Chapter 416 Fers Nasty Plan

Gumihou: …it’s alright, Gumi’s here.

Fer, Dora-chan and Sui were very devoted to the Gigantic Minotaur Hunt.

Every single Minotaur we came across was immediately hunted down and their meat Drops gathered with great enthusiasm. Even so, they were still not satisfied.

Especially when the monsters they hunted down were duds or gave ‘only’ hide, mace or magic stones.

“”Ehh, no meat again?!”” Dora-chan sounded both outraged and disappointed. [5a]

“”Sui didn’t get any either…”” [5a]

“Kuu, none here either,” Fer had this really bitter look on his face. [5a]

“Didn’t you get some from the last batch?” I said as I collected the ‘duds’. [5a]

“Tch, they are all made from meat, so they should all Drop meat when destroyed,” growled Fer.

“”Sui wants meaty monsters to Drop meat~””

[8]

“Well, dungeon logic is unfathomable. It’s not like we can do anything about it but keep grinding.”

[5a]

Fer let out an annoyed howl and dashed forward, leaving me alone…

“… …” wait, did that Fenrir just left me alone?

“”Aruji~!””

“Ah, Sui-tan, I can always count on you~”

“Oi! What are you doing there!? Get on my back now!”

As I had half expected, Fer had returned for me.

[8]

My familiars kept on slaughtering Minotaurs while I collected what Drops I could.

[9]

““Four Minotaurs at the end of the corridor!”” Dora-chan reported.

“Four? Those are good odds.”

“”Yeah, there’s a chance that we’ll get at least one meat Drop from this.””

“If we’re lucky, we’ll get two.”

They… sounded like a couple of gangster lads out to buy scratch cards or something…

[9]

“”Meat~?””

[10]

“It’s fine Sui, just ignore those two,” I said as Fer and Dora-chan huddled together in a corner.

The two of them looked like they were planning something, but what mischief could they be up to here? Anyway, let’s just ignore them…

““Mu, you sense them, Dora?””

“”Hmm, those guys behind us? Can’t miss their murderous intent.””

““Heh, they are probably planning to attack us while we fight. A bunch of cunning fools.””

““Indeed, it won’t take much to destroy these Minotaurs, we can take them out next. How’s our barrier? You know how our Master frets.””

““Umu, it’s extra strong. Not even Dragon’s Breath could breach it.””

“”Hahaha, you’re a worrywart too!””

“”Umu, this is a high difficulty dungeon after all. If something… unfortunate happens, I won’t be able to eat delicious food anymore.””

“”True, true,””

“”As for those fools. Humph, we’ll just have to display a bit more strength for them. Puny humans have brains, once they understand how weak they are, they will run.””

“”Fufufu, sounds like a plan. Mwahahaha!””

“Oi, what are you two whispering over there?” [10]

“Nothing, don’t worry about it.”

“”Yeah, don’t worry about it.”

“…right, just don’t make too much trouble-”

Just then, the Minotaurs roared. All four came thumping over, swinging the axes in their hands.

[10] “O-oi, heads up, people!!” [5]

“Right, everyone, take down the meat with a single blow. Let’s give them a good show!!”

“”Fuhahaha! Yes!””

“”Sui will defeat them~!!””

“Gumoooo…”

[10]

As soon as the Minotaurs were in range, Sui struck one of the Gigantic Minotaur with an Acid Bullet the size of a cannon. The hole that appeared in its chest was as large as a bowling ball…

Dora-chan formed thick Ice Pillars around himself and released them at one of the Minotaurs.

As for Fer, a sharp breeze formed around him and suddenly, two of the Gigantic Minotaors just… slid apart in pieces.

The whole thing was over in seconds.

[10] “You guys are seriously overpowered…”

[Side Character Adventurer Party ~]

Six Adventurers were seen running desperately from something, their faces pale with fright.

They had just seen an S Rank Adventurer- no, they had just seen his familiars destroyed four Gigantic Minotaurs in seconds. They kept running and running until they felt there was enough distance between themselves and those crazies.

After that, they dived into the next safe area and collapsed to their knees.

“What the hell was that?!”

Determined Looking Female Adventurer, also one of the most famous and talented Adventurers in the land, screeched.

“Taking down a Gigantic Minotaur in one strike… they are monstrous…” the Female Elf murmured, her face white with fright.

“There is no way we can beat that! That Fenrir is the real deal!” Determined Looking Female Adventurer screamed hysterically at the Slender Adventurer, the one who wields a one-handed sword. He was also the one who was sceptical about the Fenrir’s strength.

“I didn’t say it wasn’t the real deal!” the Slender Adventurer said. “I just… I said that people tend to exaggerate its strength!”

Determined Looking Female Adventurer was trembling, “Exaggerate? Hahaha… you know, it did not move at all.”

“What are you talking about?” asked Large Beastman.

“That thing could cast powerful spells without even making a gesture! Do you know how powerful a magic user has to be to do that? Also, that little dragon! I have never seen Ice Magic of that calibre before…” [5]

“There’s also the Slime…” the Tamer was very quiet, clutching anxiously at his red-furred tiger.

“Yeah, that Slime is not normal. So much for them being the weakest of the weak…” Female Elf said.

“We should not have been visible to them, but,” Sharp-Eyed Large Adventurer was frowning. “I think… the Fenrir was staring in our direction

…”

The already pale faces became even more unsightly.

“I- I refuse! I refuse to die facing that overpowered monster!”

“I don’t want to die either!” [5b]

“No way!”

“I refuse too!”

The leader closed his eyes and the others fell silent, waiting for his decision. Finally, he said, “Change of plans. We’ll leave them alone and head down. We can still be the first to clear the dungeon.”

The rest of the party members nodded.

For the sake of the ‘Dungeon Breaker’ title, they must break through.

Those who carry such a title will be granted honour and gold.
