I Was Reincarnated as an Incompetent Villain Prince, and When I Was in the Dark for an Oshi, the Hero Seems to Have Lost His Temper. Apparently, the Hero Is Also a Reincarnated Person~
“Is this the lost …… forest?”
I muttered to myself as I looked at the forest spread out before me.
The lost forest that I knew was not such a disastrous place.
There are many beautiful flowers in this forest, and it should have been a very beautiful forest.
But what spreads out before my eyes now is a barren land with dead trees and no grass.
It is as if this forest is dead.
“Master, perhaps Trent is affecting this forest. Trent has the power to kill trees, so perhaps that is what is causing this forest to wither.”
That is certainly the most natural way to think of it.
But I can’t believe that it’s affecting the forest so much that it’s causing it to die. …… This might be a trickier request than I thought.
In the original story I know, this is a beautiful forest and there are not many demons here.
It was a place that a novice adventurer could use for training.
But what I see now is a desolate land.
Seeing this scene makes me a little uneasy.
(She is the only one who can mutate demons in the original story.)
“Alice huh……”
The second princess, Alice Red Harkim.
She has the ability to mutate demons.
Alice’s ability is to channel her magical power into the target demon and mutate it.
And finally, she assassinates Ria and competes with the main character, Adele, for the throne.
To be honest, I don’t like Alice.
Even in the original story, she had a bad character to the extent that she was called a villainess.
I was reminded of her unpleasant past, but for now, my first priority was to complete this request.
I switched my mind to focus on the request and concentrated on it.
“Let’s just move on to the back of the building. Maybe we can find some clues.”
“Okay, Master.”
We went deeper into the forest.
Then we came to an open area.
The sun was setting, but we could still fight with our night vision.
While we were thinking about this, we heard multiple footsteps coming from the back of the forest.
We turned our eyes toward the direction where we heard the footsteps and saw three huge demons staring at us.
The demons were made entirely of wood, with unusually thick and long arms and legs, like tree monsters.
Even A-level adventurers are said to have difficulty defeating these demons.
And to have three of them show up…… might be a bit of a problem.
“Kureha, can you cast the beginner’s magic fireball?”
“Yes, I can cast some beginner level magic.”
Trent’s weakness is fire magic.
If Kureha can use elementary magic of the fire attribute, she will be able to take advantage of Trent’s weakness.
If she can use a sword, she can fight with it, but it is not a good match for Trent.
If possible, I would like to defeat them with magic.
I whispered to Kureha about my plan and began preparing my magic.
Then one of the Trents begins to move.
“Huoooohhh!!!”
“I’ll crush the one Trent in front of me and leave the other two to you.”
One of the Trents in front of me runs toward me.
The reason why I have set my sights on this Trent is that the two Trents I left to Kureha are a bit smaller
In comparison, the Trent I am facing is probably many times more powerful than a normal Trent.
It is probably a mutated entity, completely different from a normal one.
I start chanting to cast a spell.
“Burning fire, become a ball, turn everything to ashes!”
I release a fireball.
The fireball hits Trent, but it doesn’t seem to have much effect, but that’s to be expected.
If I could kill him with this one blow, it wouldn’t be much of an exercise in magic.
Trent takes my magic and advances toward me.
I slowly gather magic power in my right hand and wait for Trent.
“Gahhhh!”
“Advanced Magic, Fire Spear.”
The spear of flame from my hand pierces Trent.
The magic I just used is advanced magic, requiring a large amount of magic power, but its power is top class.
This fire spear is effective even against A-level demons, so there is no way that Trent can remain unscathed, no matter how many times he has been attacked.
As I predicted, Trent’s body was engulfed in flames and he collapsed to the ground, motionless.
“As I expected, Trent’s body was engulfed in flames and he fell to the ground, motionless…”
I have to admit that this is the first time I have tried advanced magic in practice.
Basically, you can defeat monsters with beginner or intermediate magic.
As I was thinking this, I heard a loud noise behind me.
I quickly turned around and saw that Kureha had defeated one of the Trents.
She was fighting well with her sword while using Fireball, a beginner-level magic.
I knew she had a great talent for swordsmanship.
“This is the end!”
“Gueaaaah!”
Kureha’s blow renders the last one immobile.
“Alright, it’s over.”
“Master, thank you for your hard work!”
Kureha and I laugh as we work on each other.
I’m glad it went well for us, even though it was the first time I’ve ever been asked to do this.
“Now we’ve solved the anomaly in the Lost Forest, haven’t we?”
“Yeah! Then let’s go back to report to the Count!”
We defeated Trent, solved the anomaly in the Lost Forest, and returned to the Count’s mansion.
