Raising Slaves on the Other World While on a Journey Chapter 19

「Waa」

A Red Dragon’s head flies in the air.

I started my exploration at the third floor, currently I’m at the sixth floor.

「There’s too many」

I don’t stop my movement while muttering and send several monsters heads in the air.

However, the caves were vast and there was no place to rest.

Because of that, I can’t rest until I annihilate all the monsters.

The monsters in the dungeon are different from the monsters outside, they don’t fight monsters of different species.
Most likely the monsters from dungeon and monsters from outside are totally different.

「Well, thinking about won’t help」

I cut the attacking Flame Bird down.

Monsters that resist physical attacks did not show up since the fourth floor. Because this floor is only about 1 kilometer wide and has only one room, the exploration is easy.

Also, there are no treasure chests nor collection points, it doesn’t feel like dungeon at all.
Where does this dungeon end? At the very least spawn stronger monsters so I could have some fun.

I already want to return, but it’s still a day time so I will stay little longer.

Finally the boss, took long enough.

When I open the door and see the monster, I frown unconsciously.

Three heads in one body.
It is a beast from the legends on Earth, the hound of hell.

「Cerberus」

Its name flows from my mouth naturally.

When I saw their eyes, a pressure stronger than the Troll’s weighs on my body.
The corner of my mouth rises instinctively.

「Hou, you don’t fall on your knees after seeing our appearance」

「We may enjoy this」

After seeing me, each head gave a happy speech.

「The monster talked?」

「We are one of the thirteen monsters created by the Evil God」
「Amongst us only that stupid troll can’t talk」

Each head answers my question.

Still, an Evil God… Is that fellow responsible for all the abnormal occurrences?

Now I will simply enjoy this fight.

I draw the katana and assume a posture.

「Hou」

「Quite enjoyable」

「Narukami」

Slashing at the speed of light and cutting through the chest of Cerberus.

… No, this is not a blood, monsters don’t have blood.

Then, what is that?

I kick the ground before the liquid touches my body and with a back step I get away.

「The Scorching」

「Receive it!」

A beam of heat is shot at me, I dodge it by jumping in the air.

I kick the ground and jump in the air again, after dodging a third beam flies towards me, I jump further in the air.
When I hit the ceiling, I push-off and assault the Cerberus head.

「Narukami」

With the momentum intact I charge and cut off the head on the right.

I don’t want to touch it, so I get away from the Cerberus.

Is that a poison? No, it may be an acid.
I don’t know its nature, but touching that liquid seems like a bad idea.

「Fumu, you were able to cut off our head」
「The last time we suffered such wound was from the Hero a thousand years ago」

Even though the head was cut off, the remaining two heads are having a pleasant conversation.

I understood why immediately.
An upsurge of meat flew from the neck section, after a few seconds a new head grown.

「Be careful, that sword has some powerful curse」 

「A curse that works against us, we should be more careful」

「Without a doubt. Then, there’s only one thing to do」
「To attack without giving her chance to counter」

With these words, the body of Cerberus blackens and rushes at me with unimaginable speed.
A dodge it to the side.

「Ha」

「Try to dodge this!」

A fire came out of the Cerberus body it expands, takes an appearance of snake and it’s headed my way.

Cerberus charges at me again.

No matter how I look at it, it is impossible to dodge.

「Reppū-ha」

I thrust my katana and the wind flies towards the flames.
From that wind a tornado forms and drills a hole in the wall of flames.

「「「What!?」」」

I kick the ground and jump behind the Cerberus through the hole in the wall of flames, Cerberus let’s out a surprised shriek.

「Kūjin」

While in the air I slash at the neck of the middle head.

「Flame」

I use my polished magic and a scorching beam of flame is released from the ground towards Cerberus’ body.

The power is lower compared to higher grade spells, but it’s insignificant for me.
I sealed the wound after cutting the head off, it would be nice if it worked, but the reality doesn’t seem to be so sweet.

The hole in the body I opened with the Flame, closed in no time and a new head grows from the neck.
All wounds were recovered in few seconds.

「Heat Blast」

However, I didn’t just shut up and watched.

Three huge magic squares appeared in front of me.
From the squares, three huge fireballs were shot.

「Don’t underestimate us」

「That magic won’t work on us!」

Each head released heat from their mouths, it collides with my magic.

However, the rivalry won’t last long. The Cerberus’ heat doesn’t fall, while my flames are becoming smaller.

I don’t have the slightest intention of letting that happen though.

「Kūjin」

I move besides Cerberus and cut off one head.

However, cutting off one is sufficient.

The impact carbonized half of the Cerberus’ body.

The plan is to cut off the remaining head before the recovery starts.

But the Cerberus won’t go down without a fight.

I can’t avoid it. The recovery has already started.

I can only hold on.

「Reppū-ha」

I use wind and counter the beam.

In a few seconds, the wind broke through the heat.

The beam that was aimed at me passed without touching me.

「Impossible!?」

The last Cerberus’ head had surprised look, I calmly cut the last head.

It would be nice if it ended with that…

「…」

I watch the Cerberus’ body as it recovers, I frown unconsciously.

I though that maybe if all three heads were cut off it may die, but as I watch the Cerberus who is not dead yet, I’m in deep thought on how to kill it.

「This might work?」

I put away the katana in item box in order to focus on magic.

When I read the description of the spell, the range is vast and the power so tremendous, that if possible I didn’t want to use it.

It will probably vanquish my body.

Because I can’t come up with other method, this is the only way.

The problem is to cast before the Cerberus starts moving. If hope I have enough time to cast it before it starts moving. The damage Cerberus received this time should be enough.

「Damn you!」

「We will erase you!」

Cerberus finished its recovery, it comes charging angry with black flames covering its body.
However, it’s too late.

「This is the end. Explosion」

While activating the magic, I take out the Troll’s club and use it as a shield.

「What!?」

「That incantation!」
Immediately after, along with flash of light the space burst open.

「oooh」

A huge explosion engulfs the room along with myself.

My hands and feet are getting charred.

Several minutes or tens of minutes. Actually only several seconds passed, while the flames burned my body, it felt like the time has stopped.

The body became unsupportable and I fall down at the place. I frown at this pain.

Since it became damaged so bad, it can’t be probably repaired anymore. The club was very convenient, it’s a little regrettable.

What happened to Cerberus? I want to move my head to check, but my body is not responding.
But, because the room is surrounded by light, I most likely defeated it.

Aa, that was fun…

Because of the intense pain and huge MP consumption, my consciousness fades.

Without being able to get in touch, but satisfied with my battle, I lose consciousness on the spot.
