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 52

Episode 52

We’ve also requested reinforcements from other towns, but it will still take about a day for them to arrive.

Information about which layers the approaching monsters are from, etc.

As Fylia-sama listened to this, her expression became more grim.

Upon seeing the compiled information about the monsters, Fylia-sama let out a despairing voice.

“…There are monsters from the fourth and fifth layers as well.”

“There aren’t many, but there are some troublesome ones among them.”

Since I’ve never fought against such a large group before, I feel uneasy about facing monsters from the fifth layer.

“…We might manage with magical cannons against the fourth layer, but as for the fifth layer… How are we supposed to deal with them?”

“Regarding the magical cannons, we only have four operational ones, so we can’t rely on them too much either.”

Saying so, Fylia-sama opens her mouth with a dismayed expression.

“I’m also dissatisfied with that. Why are we in a situation where we can only use four cannons?”

“You should ask the lord about that.”

“…The Validor family should be reconsidered.”

…I think we should have considered that sooner.

Well, even before reincarnation, there were similar situations.

Nothing was prepared until a problem arose, and when it did, nothing could be done… It’s a common story.

Once an incident occurs, people start blaming each other, saying who’s at fault and who’s not.

It reminded me of unpleasant things.

Setting aside thoughts of my past life for now, I observe the monsters.

It’s about time.

I can feel the approaching tremors, and everyone’s tension is rising.

Zangell looks at me. There’s no need to rush. It seems he trusts me.

“Zangell. I’ll make the first attack. If any monsters manage to slip through my attack, give the order to attack.”

“Understood!”

Fylia-sama tilts her head inquiringly.

“…Is your magic attack the signal to start the battle?”

“Yes. Fylia-sama, please unleash your magic as well.”

I nod in response to Fylia-sama’s question.

Reem, Inaesia, Ruf, and others. Not just them. I can tell that the soldiers and adventurers are also looking at me.

I can’t show them a pathetic sight.

It’s about time.

As I listen to the approaching rumble, I activate spatial magic.

Some of the monsters seem wary of the abnormal amount of mana swelling up.

…Indeed, some of the monsters from the fourth and fifth layers seem to have noticed.

However, they don’t seem to be communicating with each other, and those monsters aren’t taking any action to stop the others.

…Well, they probably won’t notice like this.

Monsters from the first to third layers notice us and charge towards us.

Perhaps they’re excited to have found prey. Their speed seems to have increased compared to earlier.

Here we go.

I activate spatial magic and gouge out a certain area.

It’s… underground.

“Agh!?”

The monsters cry out in confusion as they collapse.

It’s natural for them to collapse suddenly when the ground beneath them disappears.

What I gouged out with spatial magic was the earth beneath their feet.

And I gouged it out quite deeply.

Transferring all these monsters would consume a considerable amount of mana, more than I could handle, but with earth… the consumption is still relatively low.

Well, it’s still quite a lot.

About eighty percent of the monsters fell into the hole. Some noticed my magic and stopped in their tracks, while others were too big to fit into the frame to begin with.

Still, I managed to stop about eighty percent of the monsters.
