Middle-aged Adventurer Kein's Good Deed Chapter 27

Chapter 27 – That’s Way Too Many!

We made sure with our own eyes that Kein accepted the quest from the adventurer’s guild .

After everyone was prepared, Maya and Sephilia were left in charge of watching over Kein, while Anhime dashed off to Mount Kuko ahead of them .

“There’s really no reason to hurry so much, ya know . ” said Maya .

Lately, Goblin Lords could be found fairly quickly on the back roads of Mount Kuko .

“Um, the A rank people, will they, get in the way?”

The normally silent Sefilia rarely made predictions like that .

“Well, it’s possible . The A rank party has a lot of people . Are you suggesting we should give them a handicap?”

“Yes . ”

That’d probably be okay . Even the reckless sword princess wouldn’t go as far as killing other people . And compared to the time when we had to move that Evil Dragon… 2 or 3 Lord class monsters shouldn’t be a big deal at all . If Anhime is satisfied, everything should work out well in the end . Although Abel’s party had A rank adventurers in it, so they would need to prepare themselves .

‘The middle-aged Kein might also have a lot of trouble so I want to watch him try and overcome this test’ Maya cheerfully thought . She took her time walking through Mount Kuko .

But then suddenly, she was left speechless .

“Anhime…… What is that?”

“Ah… I’ve just been gathering the three types of Lord monsters together?”

Goblin Lord, Orc Lord, Ogre Lord .

Even though the three types of Lord class monsters were relatively common, there was practically a mountain of them . Dozens and dozens of them, had been tightly bound by Orichalcon chains and forcibly dragged .

“You gathered way too many! With just a glance I can tell there’s probably more than a hundred here . Where and how did you get these!?”

Maya had even checked if more monsters than normal were coming down towards the human habitations . She had thought that the number of Lord class monsters hadn’t reached this high on Mount Kuko yet .

“I thought that there wasn’t enough yet, so I accidentally ended up at Mount Shide . ”

“‘Accidentally ended up at’? No way! How in the world did you manage such a great distance, and in such a short time……”

While she was still finishing that thought, Maya let out a sigh .

It’s because she’s the sword princess Anastrea, the genius who can make the impossible somehow possible .

Things like distance, speed, weight, even the laws of physics don’t matter at all .

If it was a normal human, going there and coming back alone would take 2 days for that distance, even if you were somehow running as fast as a horse .

Meanwhile she was finding the monsters, beating all of them down, not to mention singling out only the Lord class ones, capturing 100 of them and binding them in chains . Doing all of that as if it was a piece of cake .

“I didn’t have any time to weaken them yet, so I’ll do it now one by one . ”

“No, Anhime . You don’t need to weaken them any more than they already are . ”

They had been forcibly dragged around at a ridiculous speed . Some monsters were practically in tatters and coughing up blood, while the rest had the orichalcum chains wrapped so tightly around their throats they were already practically dead .

“Ahh, see this is why weak monsters are no good . Just as I thought, it’s way better to prepare them in advance like the Evil Dragon . ”

Lord class monsters were supposed to be formidable, B rank enemies . To the sword princess, they were similar to ants . Capturing and bringing them with her without also killing them was probably hard .

“GUoooOOOOON!”

Just then, an enraged cry sprung up from the mass of nearly dead monsters .

Another monster had pushed its way through . It was a man-eating demonic ogre, known as an Ogre King .

“Ara, looks like one of them was an Ogre King . How strange . Well that’s fine, I’ll just call it a boss character . ”

As she spoke, the Ogre King used both hands to raise a gigantic iron hammer over its head, and rushed in towards her . The sword princess responded with a shiing shiing of her sword and cut his arms in the blink of an eye .

Even an Ogre King, an A rank monster, attacking with all his might was no more than child’s play for the sword princess .

“Ara, oh good, he’s still alive . ”

“GuooooOOO!”

“Quiet! You’ve had your turn, now keep it down . ”

“GugyaaaAAA!”

The Orc King screamed as blood spouted from both arms . The sword princess kicked him in the face and he was sent flying upwards, then landed in the pile of monsters once again with a thud .

It was like living through hell for the monsters . It wasn’t the dead writhing in pain and agony here though, it was monsters who looked like they could be the gatekeepers to hell themselves . Aside from that detail it was the very picture of hell .

Maya thought ‘Even if he is a boss, if you leave him here like this, he’ll die, won’t he? Well we’ve already come this far, so even pointing that out would be no help . ’

“Should we position these monsters where that middle aged Kein will go by, then?”

‘Position’ was the word I used, but it’s more similar to abandoning a dead body .

“Yeah, I can do it . There was something I left unfinished earlier though, so I’ll go and do it now . ”

“Still something left to do?”

“It’s, what was his name? That A class, blue haired, stuck up leader . He said some really conceited things to Kein . He’s pissed me off, so I’m going to take it out on him . ”

“Don’t–!”

Maya was shocked, but the sword princess just laughed .

“Kein is all alone, but they have a lot of people in their party, isn’t it unfair? Putting a handicap on them will be fine!”

Regardless if your opponent is as weak as an ant, they will still strike back with all they have .

The sword princess Anastrea didn’t know the word ‘forgiveness’ .
