I, who was reincarnated as the villain character in a game, was secretly enjoying my role as the villain while pulling off heroic moves behind the scenes. However, my actions were exposed to my fiancée, who absolutely despises me - Episode 21

Episode 21

The location of the request is called the Galna Abandoned Mine.

With my current ability to conquer the second layer of the Forest of Rebellion, there’s no need to fear any monsters.

Immediately, I start investigating the inside of the dungeon.

Although there are several paths within the abandoned mine, I have a perfect map in my mind.

I wonder if the treasure chests are still there…? Out of curiosity, I check, and indeed, they’re all still there.

For now, I collect them casually while moving forward… though there aren’t any particularly good items.

In this world, treasure chests seem to naturally spawn like monsters. Once obtained, they disappear for a while and then eventually reappear.

They call this the “blessing of the gods.”

As I collect the treasure chests, I proceed to the final path leading to the boss room. When I pass through, I find myself in a circular plaza.

It’s almost as if it’s saying, “The boss battle will take place here.”

Indeed, a boss monster appears here, and as I turn towards the ominous feeling, a monster drops from the ceiling.

Dodging the surprise attack, the monster lets out an irritated roar.

“Kishaaa!”

What fell is the boss monster, Spider Sword, a huge spider-like creature.

The monster’s long legs spread eerily wide, and their tips are sharp.

Although it looks like a spider, its weapons are more its legs than anything else.

It attacks using its sharp leg tips like knives.

When Spider Sword jumps, it thrusts its sharp leg tips forward along with gravity.

This creature is stronger than other monsters.

However, it’s still inferior to me.

Dodging all the consecutive attacks, I wield the short swords in my hands.

When I slash at the joints of Spider Sword’s legs, its body sinks slightly.

As Spider Sword tries to regain its balance, I swing my knives for a follow-up attack.

When I swing towards Spider Sword’s face, it recoils in pain, staggering back.

As I prepare for another slash, Spider Sword leaps away as if fleeing.

Near the ceiling, Spider Sword moves its mouth as if it’s going to spit out thread.

Of course, I have no intention of taking it head-on.

I expand spatial magic all over my body, and when Spider Sword spits out the thread from its mouth, it’s at an incredible speed.

That thread attack is powerful and durable enough to create holes in the ground.

I apply spatial magic to Spider Sword’s attack.

The thread, which extends straight towards me, pierces through my spatial magic and then— pierces through Spider Sword’s body.

“Gii!?”

This way of using magic is convenient.

Transferring living creatures consumes a lot of magic power, but for long-range attacks like magic, the consumption isn’t that much.

So, it’s extremely useful when utilizing enemy attacks like earlier.

Spider Sword can’t maintain its grip on the ceiling and falls.

The impact shakes the ground, but I immediately kick off the ground and prepare my short swords.

Although heavily weakened, Spider Sword tries to stand up, but before that, I swing my knives.

“Gyaa…”

As I decapitate Spider Sword, its body dissipates like mist, leaving only its materials behind.

I collect the drop items with spatial magic.

Along with the materials from Spider Sword, I obtain a single ore.

It’s the mithril ore obtained from this quest. There’s a blacksmith searching for this, so if the completion of this request becomes known, they’ll eventually contact me.

Mithril ore itself can be obtained in abundance in the latter part of the game, but it’s still impossible to obtain at this stage.

Firstly, to mine mithril ore, you need someone with specialized magic for it, and their magical proficiency must also be high.

“Well then, let’s head back.”

I activate spatial magic and move to the city’s teleportation stone.

I don’t want to use teleportation magic in public too often, but since the appearance of teleportation through the teleportation stone and my spatial magic are visually the same, it’s not a problem as long as I choose the right place.

I’d like to go directly to the guild, but that would attract too much attention.

To report the completion of the request, I head to the guild with the materials from Spider Sword.
