Note : PK… Killer?

Pora and I, having received a special subjugation commission for D-rank adventurers from the adventurer guild, were headed towards the plains just outside of the city.
As long as no special circumstances popped up, there were a lot of subjugation-type commissions that were available to be done close to the city. These subjugation commissions were mainly about maintaining the safety along the highway and in the vicinity of the city. Our current subjugation target was the Iron Cow that often appeared in the plains.
The Iron Cow was a huge, cow-like monster whose entire skin was covered in tal. Its tal head made it look like it wore so sort of weird mask and its horns were made of an even sturdier tal. The strongest attack that it had was its rush ability where it put an entire body weight into its tal mask-like covered head and surged forward towards its target. Its entire body was extrely tough as well since it was covered in tal.
Apparently, the adventurers usually called it the ‘Rampaging Steel Cow.’
The standard of what was considered powerful for them was only around Lv. 25. Such small fry shouldn’t pose a problem for the current Pora.
After strolling around the prairie for around an hour, we were able to find three Iron Cows.
Yup, just like the rumors, its head DID look like a weird mask. I think it’s comparable to Moai statues. [TL Note: Moai Statues]
The subjugation proof that we needed to collect for this monster was its weird head. It’s quite bulky for a subjugation proof, but well, it might be useful for manufacturing after lting it down.
Additionally, it seems like its at is edible too. Though the tal skin is inedible, its at is a high-grade ingredient.
The Iron Cow rushed at us as soon as they saw us.
Good grief, what an energetic creature.
「Been a while since we fought monster.」
I looked at Pora.
The aning of my gesture to Pora was, “I’ll leave these guys to you.” Pora nodded obediently and walked out while clasping her cane.
I wanted her to experience the results of her increased level firsthand. I an, obviously she was too weak to confirm the results of her increased level against those devils. Whether it was when she was Lv. 38 or Lv. 201, all she could accomplish against those devils was barely leaving a scratch due to the overwhelming difference in their statuses.
Pora closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
It seems that she’s preparing to use her spirit magic.
Spirit magic is an extrely troubleso type of magic that demands its user to synchronize their breathing with the spirit along with a high concentration ability. In my opinion, one needed the 《Twin Mind thod》 to truly be able to draw out the real power of spirit magic. That skill would cover its user’s weaknesses as they use other magic while adjusting their breathing with the spirit.
I guess I need to teach the 《Twin Mind thod》 to Pora one of these days.
「Magic aside, the current you can even crush the Iron Cow with a punch…」
Pora’s eyes opened wide as she pointed her cane towards the approaching Iron Cow.
「Spirit Magic, 8th-Rank《Salamander Claw(Fire Spirit Lizard’s Flash》」
She unleashed a flaming claw’s strike. The fla’s flash ran across the ground. The Iron Cow’s body was sliced in half from the front to the rear by the fla and fell on the ground as its body was wrapped in flas.
Pora was clearly shocked upon seeing the swift end of the “strong” Iron Cows. She quickly turned around and looked at with a delightful smile on her face
「K-Kanata-san! Pora, did it! Pora, really is becoming stronger!」
The tal mask-like head off of the Iron Cows was stripped off as soon as they were blown away by Pora’s spirit magic and fell onto the ground. They were falling spectacularly on the ground along with a heavy thud.
Pora jumped slightly upon hearing such a loud sound.
The masks that were supposed to be the subjugation proof… were broken.
Pora’s spirit magic must’ve damaged it quite a lot when she struck the Iron Cows thus it’d broken so easily upon falling to the ground. Even the fragnts themselves were curved into a weird shape. That aside, the at had turned into black charcoal from the strong flas.
So that’s how it looks like when the Lv. 25 Iron Cows were slaughtered by Lv. 201 Pora’s full powered spirit magic.
I put the fragnts that I’d found back on the ground.
「… Let’s go looking for another Iron Cow.」
「S-Sorry, Kanata-san… I-I just want to make sure that my strongest attack really works on them…」
Thus, we went in search of another Iron Cow.
We decided to eat a al while resting in the shade of a tree. An adventurer’s al was normally composed of dried at and dry break which was sold at the general store geared towards adventurers.
「Do you think… that Roy-san and co would treat the current Pora as their equal?」
Pora muttered anxiously as she held a canteen made from leather.
「I think… you should try to looking for soone else」
Despite my hesitance, I respected Pora for her inability to curse soone and instead choosing to look at her own faults and try to improve on them instead. That’s why I wouldn’t outright stop Pora from trying to repair her relationship with Roy-san and co since that’s also sothing that’s necessary for her growth. Naturally, I’ll just stand back and rest on my lapels if she gets involved in so sort of trouble due to her own decisions.
「I think… even they wouldn’t treat you badly at your current level.」
And then, I suddenly recalled that Roy was Lv. 14.
「…The level difference between you guys is so much that things would turn awkward.」
「As I thought, it’s really worrying right!? RIGHT!?」
「C-Certainly, though Roy’s level might be a tad too low to get started getting along with you… I think you should raise your level a bit more to guarantee a safe adventurer’s life.」
「L-… Level 200 isn’t enough… what is the basis for your assumption?」
「M-My master… Lunaire-san told so.」
「Uhm… Pora is always worrying over that matter but, are you really sure that it’s not just Lunaire-san lying to you?」
There’s no way she would do that. I an, there’s no reason nor rit for her to train until I beca this powerful. Lunaire might’ve predicted that sothing might happen to . She wouldn’t look down on another person like that with such a lie. Having received her genuine kindness, I was the one who could understand this fact the most.
Pora suddenly rose to her feet when I was washing down the dried bread that was stuck in my throat with the water from the canteen.
「… Soone is coming toward us. Is that person receiving a similar commission as us?」
I rose to my feet too while scanning our surroundings.
Then, I saw a man walking straight towards us from the direction of the city. He was a burly man ard with a conspicuous great axe. Though there was still so distance between us, one glance was enough for to recognize that man.
Eternal D-rank adventurer, Octavio.
He was grinning ear to ear when his eyes t mine.
He was grinning ear to ear when his eyes t mine.
「Yo… sissy noble magician, you’re ruining the forest by indulging in your hobby with that lass.」
It was a malicious smile. This guy was up to no good.
