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~
“What level are we on?”
I talk to Celes, who walks beside me.
Now, we have finished hunting a few demons and about two hours have passed.
The time limit is seven hours, so we have to pick up the pace little by little.
“Right now we are probably on the sixth level.”
“Then we’re doing wel”
“Yeah, but it may not be as easy from here as it has been so far.”
Celes says this with a difficult look on her face.
I know that, too, of course.
It is a matter of course that the difficulty level of a dungeon increases as the level of the dungeon increases.
At the beginning, it is easy to go through, but as you go up the levels, it will take more and more time to conquer.
As I was thinking this and walking with my mind tightened, Ria suddenly opened her mouth.
“Isn’t it looping since a while ago?”
Ria asks me such a question.
I realize that there was definitely something wrong too.
I feel like I’ve been going down the same path over and over again.
“Most of the time the loop is caused by a hang up or an ore in the dungeon.”
“Yeah, but no hallucinogenic magic was cast on us, so this is more likely the latter. ……”
There are various ores buried in the dungeon.
These ores contain magic power and can loop under the influence of magic power.
“But have there been any ores in this dungeon? I haven’t seen any.”
I ask Celes.
Celes looked at me with a difficult expression on her face and slowly opened her mouth.
“If the ore is not buried nearby, it might be embedded in the …… demons.”
There are some monsters that can implant ores into them at will.
The one is called “Golem” and is a puppet demon made of stone.
He can implant ore into his body and fight with it as a weapon.
“The “Golem” is an S-class demon. It would be very troublesome to fight it,”
Kureha, an adventurer, advised so.
The golem is an S-class demon, and to be on the safe side, we should leave this dungeon.
“But we’ve come this far, we’ll manage to conquer this dungeon.”
“Yes, whoever the opponent is, we will just fight them.”
Celes replies with a motivated look on her face.
Then Kureha suddenly shouts loudly
“Get down!”
We heard her voice and quickly got down on the ground.
Then something passes over my head.
I look in the direction from which the object flew.
There, I saw a golem.
The golem was a huge puppet monster, three meters long, with various ores embedded in its body.
(No way, I didn’t expect you to be here already.)
I stood up and prepared to activate the magic.
“Leave the vanguard to me and Kureha.”
Saying that, Celes and Kureha run toward the golem and swing their swords at the same time.
The golem, however, uses its arms to block the attack.
“Gogaaaa!”
Then the golem roars and swings its long arm.
Celes and Kureha backed up and avoided the attack.
“It seems to be of a different caliber than the demons we’ve seen so far,”
I said, but I activated my magic to cover them.
“Advanced Magic: Wind Blade”
With the magic I fired, a slash of wind struck the golem.
The golem then guards itself with its arms, preventing the wind slashes.
As expected of a golem, it is too hard.
As I was thinking that, the golem began to overflow with magic power.
“wind blade”
And with a roar, it uses the same magic as I did.
The attack hits me, Ria, Celes, and Kureha at the same time, and we are all blown away.
“H-he copied my magic!”
I exclaimed as I stood up.
Then Ria’s healing magic is cast on me from behind.
“I’ve only recently learned it, but it should cure you.”
Ria’s healing magic restores us to full health.
“Ria, when did you learn to use healing magic?”
Celes asked, and Ria answered happily.
“Roland nii sama taught me!”
Certainly, a few days ago, I taught Ria the healing magic.
However, Ria is probably a genius if she can use healing magic to this extent.
I think so, but I turn toward the golem and prepare for battle.
“Gogaaaaaaah!”
The golem roared and came toward us.
“Flame slash!”
“A flash of lightning!”
Then, Kureha and Celes simultaneously unleash a slash.
The attack slices through the golem’s body, seemingly inflicting significant damage.
The golem, however, seems to ignore its wounds and comes at us.
(That’s strange, the damage should have been done.)
I feel something strange about the golem’s movement.
It is true that these demons are living creatures.
So, if they take damage, they will be frightened and stop moving.
But this Golem is not frightened, it’s just coming at us.
“So that’s how it is.”
I instantly realized what the golem was.
And I prepared to release my magic.
“Advanced Magic Flame Wave!”
The flame wave I released strikes the golem’s ore.
The ore disappeared cleanly, and part of its body cracked.
“Celes, Kureha! If you destroy the ore embedded in the golem, we can defeat it!”
I shouted, and the two nodded and swung their swords to destroy the ore attached to the golem’s body.
“A flash of lightning!”
“Flame slash!”
The slash rips through the ore attached to the golem’s body, disintegrating it.
“Gogaaaaaa……”
The golem, with its last ounce of strength, raises its arms high in the air.
But before it can strike, my magic arrives in time.
“Advanced Magic: Extreme Flame.”
A ball of black flame is released from my palm and strikes the golem, burning it to the ground.
The golem collapses and vanishes into ashes.
After confirming this, I sat down on the ground.
“Haa, we managed to defeat it.”
“As expected Roland”
Celes was impressed and came over to me.
“Haha, I’m glad we managed to beat him.”
I said this and got up to check on the members of the team.
“Kureha san! I’m going to cast a healing spell right now!”
Kureha is having Ria cast a recovery spell on her, healing her wounds.
“T-Thank you, Ria.”
Kureha thanked Ria shyly.
“After Kureha’s wounds are healed, let’s move on, shall we?”
Everyone agrees with me.
Twenty minutes later, Kureha’s wounds are healed and we resume our dungeon crawl.
