I’ve Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I Can’t Seem to Get out of Being Jobless Vol 2 Chapter 42

All things considered, the Commoner’s status gain is seriously bad.

Even though I gained more than 30 levels, the status growth rate only feels slightly more than when I reached Lv30 from Lv20. Well, I did reach Lv70 so I am modestly stronger but I guess it’s the limit of a Commoner.

I a.s.signed my jobs in a balanced fas.h.i.+on with Jobless, Swordsman, Apprentice Pract.i.tioner, Magician, and Pugilist.

Within the casino, we could exchange food and bento in addition to items in exchange for medals so we used a fraction of the medals to get dinner before we headed toward the labyrinth.

The Baron’s house eldest son, Oregeru’s smell indicated that he went to the east and have not returned but it didn’t seem like he was close by.

However, because a west wind was blowing at the moment and we were upwind, we couldn’t grasp his exact location.

Well, if we enter the labyrinth, even if Oregeru is in the labyrinth as well, there are plenty of places to hide so we most likely won’t encounter him. I thought so as we headed east but,

“Oh my G.o.d, monsters are heading toward the town!”

“It’s a herd of wool worms! The wall’s going to be breached, call the guards! Those who can fight, head to the east!”

A monster herd!?

Haru and I looked at each other and nodded before we ran toward the east.

Along the way, we pa.s.sed by what looked like the stairs indicating the entrance to the labyrinth but we pa.s.sed by that and climbed up the ladder on the stone wall.

There I saw several hundred worms the size of medium-sized dogs.

Then, those caterpillars spat out threads and were creating paths to climb up the wall.

Multiple adventurers and soldier-like men were fighting but the situation didn’t look good.

Adventurers were atop the wall as well, piercing and defeating the caterpillars that climbed up but if this continued, the monsters would definitely pour into the town.

Without hesitating, I leaped off the top of the wall and “「Slash」” sent out 「Slash」 using my knife hand toward 2 of the caterpillars spitting out thread.

The caterpillar heads burst and green mucous splashed onto the surroundings.

Seeing an adventurer surrounded by caterpillars, I sent a 「Pet.i.te Fire」 toward those caterpillars and unsheathed my steel sword hanging on my waist. I do possess the skill for dual-wielding but I felt that it was easier to fight with a single sword.

Glancing at Haru, she was not only dextrously manipulating both the Fang of the Fire Dragon and the short sword, she was also making use of the special ability of the Fang of the Fire Dragon to create flames using physical attack power, releasing b.a.l.l.s of flames to distance places with caterpillars that were far enough from the forest such that it won’t catch the forest on fire.

It looks like an amazing ability to judge as well as technique is required to use magic while wielding swords.

Maybe I’ll stick to defeating them one by one.

I defeated a portion of the caterpillars surrounding the adventurer with 「Pet.i.te Fire」 but there was still a large number of them.

For now, I went toward the encirclement of caterpillars and used 「Rotational Slash」. Using a low angled sweep of 「Rotational Slash」, the caterpillars belched out green bodily fluids and collapsed. Those fluids stuck onto my face as well so, to be honest, I was in a mental state of wanting to enter a bath immediately.

“Ma, young master.”

The adventurer I saved called out. Looking closely, isn’t he one of the adventurers who wanted to steal the brown bears from us? His feet was wounded though … (TL: From his rotational slash lol.)

” … My help harmed you.”

I honestly muttered.

“That’s not true, young master! Either way, with young master here, it’s like we have the strength of a 100 men!”

“Leaving that aside, what’s the reason for this?”

As I slashed at the surrounding wool worms, I asked about what was happening.

“I don’t know, the herd of wool worms suddenly attacked. We were on our way to the labyrinth but … wool worms are monsters that spit out yarn-like thread, they generally do not leave their nests and don’t attack people, people gather old nests and use them as a replacement for wool.”

I see, so that’s why they’re called wool worms huh.

“Then, you don’t know the reason why … 「Pet.i.te Stone」 … the wool worms suddenly went on a rampage?”

I hit the wool worms climbing up the wall with gravel made by earth magic as I spoke.

Adventurers and soldiers were gathering on top of the wall so it no longer looked like the wall would be breached.

The moment I thought so, the wool worms movement stopped and they all fled toward the forests at once.

Did they realize that they couldn’t win?
