Chapter 187 – The Holy Sword (Self-Proclaimed)
◈
After retrieving the King Ant’s corpse, I rushed everyone towards the warp device in the muscle-powered carriage.
…Thankfully, even such a large King Ant fit into my inventory.
It seems the space of five houses is much larger than I thought.
“It was so amazing! A huge blade suddenly whooshed out! And then a bright light flashed! It was so cool!”
“Lant shouting ‘Excalibur’ was also awesome!”
“The eyes made of magic were truly fantastic. …Magicians would probably faint if they saw that.”
On the way back, Elsie and Noah were on my arms, while Ninya was riding on my back in a carrier.
“Is that all? I only thought it was incredibly beautiful.”
“Lant was also very cool coming through the scattering golden eyes…♡”
“Hmm~ Elsie is completely smitten~. Well, Elsie and Noah will understand once they level up a couple more times.”
“What do you mean?”
“When you level up about three times, the range of your ability to sense magic changes. From my perspective, the magic Lant emitted when he defeated the King Ant was truly beyond imagination.
If a magician who can truly sense magic had seen it, they would have been so shocked they would have peed their pants, probably?”
“Is it that much?”
“Yeah. Lant is amazing as always. His strength~ his magic~ and his stamina too♡”
A side effect that came with my wish for simple strength and a strong body.
I was once again glad that I chose these abilities instead of hypnosis.
And we arrived at the warp device and returned to the surface.
It was almost early evening outside, nearing dinner time.
We immediately exchanged the magic stones at the exchange and then walked towards the Adventurer’s Guild.
At the Adventurer’s Guild, Mr. Kelban was having a drink.
“Ah, Mr. Kelban.”
“Oh, Lant! You’re back already!”
Mr. Kelban looked happy to see me.
“Yes. I ran myself both ways.”
“Ah, I see! Hahaha, with your legs, that’s certainly possible! So, did you go to the dungeon again today?”
“Yes. Ah, Mr. Kelban. Actually…”
I told Mr. Kelban that I had caught the King Ant.
“Oh, oh, oh, oh…”
Mr. Kelban’s body started to tremble, first slightly and then more and more.
I should probably prepare to catch Mr. Kelban in advance.
“Oooooooooh! Lan…!”
After that, as always, I caught Mr. Kelban as he cried and shouted my name, and calmed him down.
After calming Mr. Kelban, I reported to Ms. Lenny and presented the Ant’s jaw, receiving the reward.
Then, Mr. Kelban and I went into the warehouse.
Inside the warehouse, I looked around.
I needed to check the size to see if it was okay to take out the King Ant here.
The height was not a problem. But I hadn’t looked closely at how long the warehouse was.
“Come now! Lant! Hurry and take out the King Ant!”
“Um, Mr. Kelban. Will it fit in the warehouse?”
“Huh? Ah, that’s certainly a problem. But don’t worry!”
Mr. Kelban walked quickly towards the wall of the warehouse.
Then, he pressed a button on the wall.
Woooooooom!
With a sound, what I thought was the wall of the warehouse rose up, revealing a space inside.
“Huh!?”
“Hahahaha! We do monster dismantling work every day, there’s no way the space would be this small!”
That was certainly a valid point.
There are many monsters in the dungeon, and many adventurers in Pludan who hunt them.
Even though the parts they take are only a portion, if that continues every day, a lot of space would be needed for storage and distribution.
“But why is it divided?”
“Ah, didn’t I tell you before? There were employees who said they couldn’t work with me. That’s the space where those employees work. Ahem, they said it’s easier to work if they don’t hear my laughter.”
I heard they were assigned to a different department, but it seems that department was the one that dismantled in a different space from Mr. Kelban.
“Huh? But when we dismantled the orc, why were we together? If you just assigned that separately…”
“Ah, you probably didn’t notice because the orc’s corpse was all over the place. That wall was up then too.”
“Ah, I see.”
Indeed, back then, many employees were dismantling the orc, and the orcs were piled up everywhere.
“Come now! Hurry! Hurry and take it out!”
“Yes, Mr. Kelban.”
I first took out the King Ant’s head.
Including the legs, it was about 7 meters, but the head alone was about 4 meters long, and it was placed in the warehouse.
“Wow… it’s even more disgusting up close.”
Noah slightly frowned.
But on the contrary, Mr. Kelban was very excited and breathed heavily.
“Ooooooh! This is the head of a King Ant! And it’s been cleanly cut! It’s truly amazing! Come now! Come now! Come now! Next is the body! Take out the body, Lant!”
“Yes, Mr. Kelban.”
I went to the wall and took out the King Ant’s body.
…I thought so when I retrieved it, but it feels quite imposing up close.
“Hooooooooh!”
“Whoa!”
I was startled by the sudden scream.
When I turned my head, I saw that Mr. Kelban was trembling and screaming.
“Oh, oh, oh, oh! To see the corpse of a King Ant with my own eyes like this… and to have the day to dismantle it…!”
“You’ve never dismantled one before?”
“Of course not! Ants are monsters that only live in the desert area south of the holy nation in the south, unless it’s in a dungeon!
I don’t have time to go to such places, and even if they were caught in a dungeon, it would be hard to bring even one leg because of their size! Ah, ah, ah! One of my dreams has come true! Thank you, Lant!”
Mr. Kelban was trembling and crying.
And the middle of his crotch was bulging out tremendously.
Oh my….
“I, I’m glad. But are you sure you’ll be okay alone?”
“Hahahaha! Normally, I would want to enjoy this alone, but with this size, it’s definitely impossible for me alone… So today, I’ll call other employees who are off work and start dismantling right away!”
“Uh… is that okay?”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a dismantling worker! Even if they don’t have the same perversion as me, they’ll come right away if I call them! Hee, heehee, heeheehee!”
Mr. Kelban was explaining enthusiastically, but it seemed like he was about to lose his mind.
“Aaaah…! I’m so excited to see how huge and murky the magic stone inside will be! Aaaaaaaah!”
“Ah, um, well… then we’ll be going now! Give us the reward after the dismantling is done!”
“Okay, go well… Ah, I have to go call the employees right away!”
With that, Mr. Kelban left the warehouse faster than us.
“Lennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! It’s an emergency callllllllllllllllll!”
Left in the warehouse were me, Elsie, Noah, and Ninya.
I said to the three of them.
“Let’s go back quickly before Mr. Kelban comes back.”
““Okay.””
We immediately returned to the Fox’s Rest.
◈
“Welcome, everyone!”
Tina greeted us.
Before eating, we went to the bath to wash off the sand and dirt from our clothes.
Today, while bathing, I showed off a bath that glowed with various lights as I emitted magic from the soles of my feet.
When I made it pink in the middle, it felt like I was in a slightly erotic bath, which made me excited.
It seemed Ninya felt the same way.
Or maybe she was reminded of a similar play from the brothel.
As I maintained the pink light, she smiled seductively and suddenly gave me a deep kiss.
When Ninya kissed me, Noah, fueled by a competitive spirit, coaxed Elsie into licking my nipples while simultaneously holding my hand and giving me a handjob.
The pleasure coming from three places at once made my dick shoot out semen without hesitation, and the white discharge mixed into the pink-lit bathtub.
I wanted to immediately reciprocate, but I held back because it would be too late for dinner.
I thought it would be nice to have a sex play with the three of them soon!
Especially that situation that always appears in harem eroge, where three girls stand side by side waiting for my dick!
I definitely want to recreate that!
After bathing, we started eating.
While we were eating, Tina came to our table.
“Everyone, how was the dungeon today?”
“Oh, Tina? Don’t you have to serve?”
“Pani is here. I have some time to talk to you… Actually, unless it gets really crowded with Pani here, I don’t need to serve.”
“Is that so? Then…”
Elsie’s eyes sparkled as she spoke to Tina.
“I’ll tell you all about how cool Lant was today!”
And what followed was Elsie’s collection of the most impressive moments of me today.
It’s nice that Elsie is happy and talking about me, but it’s a little embarrassing to keep listening.
Tina listened to Elsie’s story, saying “Oh…” in surprise, but from the middle, she showed a subtle reaction like “Hmm…?”
Honestly, it’s a story that would be considered an exaggeration if you didn’t see it yourself.
“Lant-san made a huge sword and cut down a huge monster called a King Ant?”
“Yes!”
“Hmm… is that really true?”
Tina looked at Noah and Ninya and asked.
“It’s true~.”
“Hehe, it’s definitely hard to believe if you haven’t seen it yourself.”
“But…”
No matter how much I explain to Tina, it would be hard to understand if she didn’t see it herself.
Okay, here, I’ll use Mana Weapon to entertain Tina a little.
We’ve finished eating anyway.
“Tina, clear the table and come sit here. I have something to show you.”
“Yes? Yes! Okay!”
Tina quickly cleared the dishes and returned to the table.
“Lant-san, what are you going to show me?”
“Look at the table.”
I spread my hands and sent magic towards the table, using Mana Weapon.
What I imagined was a miniature desert with sparse rocks on a circular five-story platform.
A circular miniature appeared on the table as I imagined.
“Wow!”
And I added more magic to it, creating mini figures of the four of us.
Elsie, Noah, and Ninya were also surprised by this.
“Huh?!”
“Is this us?”
“Wow, it’s so detailed?”
Ninya picked up her figure and looked at it from side to side.
“It’s a tiny Lant. Cute…”
Elsie picked up my figure and smiled brightly.
“This is Elsie, right? Wow, it even looks like her face. Where…”
Noah lifted Elsie’s figure’s skirt and looked underneath.
“Oh, this Elsie’s underwear is white.”
He did the same thing I did when I first made a figure of Noah in his priest’s outfit.
“N, Noah!”
“Hehe.”
“Put it back.”
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
Noah, Ninya, and Elsie put the figures back in their original places in turn.
Then, I said to Tina.
“Tina, I’ve recreated the 5th floor of the dungeon we went to and us.”
“Wow… Lant-san. You can do this too.”
“Actually, I only got the ability to add color two days ago. I’ll continue.”
I added more magic and created a King Ant figure.
Of course, I made it slightly larger than our figures.
“This is the King Ant. It’s a special monster that appears on the 5th floor.”
“It’s, it’s disgusting.”
“It was actually about 7 meters tall.”
“R, really?!”
“Yeah. So, Elsie, Ninya, and Noah were resting near the rocks, and I ran over in one go…”
I removed my figure and then recreated it slightly to the side of the King Ant figure.
“I moved to the side like this. Then… Hmph!
I infused my figure with magic, surrounding it with a mini version of the aura I emitted today.
“I released magic like this.”
“W, why did you release magic?”
“Because it’s cool.”
“Ah, okay…”
“Tina, it’s really cool when you see it in person?”
“Yes, it’s really cool!”
“R, really?”
“So, after this…”
I was about to move on to the process of creating Excalibur.
At that moment, I sensed the presence and shadows of several people around us.
“Huh?”
When I looked around, other adventurers who were eating on the first floor were surrounding us.
Why did these people come to us like this?
I had that question, but it was immediately answered by the words the adventurers spoke.
“What is this? It’s shining so brightly.”
“This is the 5th floor, right? Wow… I miss it.”
“Human models? What, there were such detailed small models?”
“The Ant model is so realistic! Wow, it’s disgusting!”
“Hmm… I can feel the magic energy from all of them. Could it be that they’re all made of magic? No way!”
“Isn’t the light shining around the Dungeon Crasher doll the same as what you see when you get promoted?”
“Cool…”
“Is this something they sell? Where did it suddenly come from?”
They came to see the Mana Weapon miniature I made.
Indeed, it was inevitable that people would gather if I did this in a place where so many people were gathered.
