Chapter 121.1. A Dangerous Enemy

-Masatoshi’s POV-

Masatoshi was relieved to have successfully conquered the [Lost Forest].

He feared that he would be poisoned and die. In the original story, there was also a capture of the [Lost Forest], but they said it was an extremely dangerous place.

The author of the Night of Magic who writes harem warrior stories with adorable heroines but also sometimes depicts tragic stories, had described it as an extremely dangerous place.

The poison of the flowers kills you. The paralyzing venom of the giant spider will eat you alive. Spend eternity as stone. If killed by monsters, you become undead and roam the streets. The most disgusting pattern is that you’ll get parasitized by plants and live on as trees.

All of these are ways of dying that he would rather not have.

By the way, Shin hasn’t conquered this labyrinth. The wild heroine had guided him to a safer place where he didn’t have to go through the [Lost Forest]. He arrives at the boss waiting for him in the middle level and is surprised at how he conquered that forest.

In other words, while it gets described as dangerous and hazardous, the proper way to conquer this [Lost Forest] was unknown.

He’s not kidding. This place is a dangerous forest set up by the original author, who is good at describing tragic deaths. He was truly frightened that he wouldn’t just die in the usual way.

But finally, he would conquer it. It was the safest way to conquer the forest that he could think of. After all, we had destroyed the [Lost Forest] itself.

He now understands better why that beautiful girl Miu didn’t appear in the original story. She’s a genius. Perhaps even more than the main heroines.

She’s a recovery magician to the point that Sena seems weaker and a genius wind magician. He understands, in the original story, she should be dead. She’s a character who eats the protagonist, which exists from time to time.

He’s sure she was in the original author’s initial story setting. She’s so capable that the author made her existence to have never existed in the plotting stage. It’s a very likely story.

The reincarnated Yamiyo has done a terrible thing. The story changed considerably, probably because of Miu. Rumor has it that Loki copied her ability, which explains why the story has changed from the original.

But there is no use in worrying about it. Masatoshi doesn’t even know if Miu will be involved in the original story in the future. Besides, she was a great help.

He was more concerned about the next problem, he thought to himself.

That was the bigger problem. It was something that shouldn’t speak so easily, and even Masatoshi, the god himself, was skeptical about whether it was true.

Masatoshi and his team had arrived at the druid’s hidden village, which was only 20 kilometers away in a straight line.

The druid village was built on a large tree as thick as a building, with houses built on the branches. It’s an otherworldly fantasy world. It does not fit the worldview of the Night of Magic.

A house on top of a tree sounds like it might be inhabited by elves or something.

However, there is a distinct difference from otherworldly fantasy. It’s a barracks-like hut, made of flimsy tin sheets, which makes it look less like a mystical hut and more like a hut made by the poor. The walls were reinforced with rotting plywood, which was also painful.

And inside the rusted iron bars, many warriors were trapped. They looked exhausted and had not bathed in days, so their body odors were terrible.

Surprisingly, they had no shortage of food, and they were not emaciated.

Nagamasa and about 20 of his troops were being held captive. The druid drained their magic armor of its magic stone, and they couldn’t feel any mana. It had turned into a mere lump of metal. Their bodies were covered with poisonous scales, indicating they couldn’t use magic.

“Nagamasa-sama! Are you all right? Aguni Enraku has come to your aid.”

His father rushed over with his soldiers and called out in concern. General Shinjo is kneeling beside Nagamasa as well.

As I watch him, I warn my surroundings, hoping my fears are unfounded. It’s a situation where a surprise attack could happen.

The druid’s hidden village is eerily quiet, and all that he can hear is the hurried shouting of the soldiers.

“Onii-sama! Sena is here to help you now. I will give you healing.”

As I watch as Seina rushes over as well, I relax, afraid that the magic he secretly prepared might be wasted.

“Oh, I’m sorry, imouto. I screwed up.”

With his mud-stained face contorted, Nagamasa tells her his thank you. Sena, relieved to see that he seems to be in good health, relaxes her face and holds out her hand to use recovery magic.

“O God of the eight million, please heal him.”

[Life Healing]

With Sena’s chanting, golden particles spiral out of her body and pour down to Nagamasa as she blows from her body. As the gold enveloped her and held a soft light, Nagamasa’s body was healed.

“Thank you, imouto.”

“No, it’s for Nagamasa-oniisama…”

Gasping and losing her strength, Sena wobbled her body and put her hands on the ground to prevent her from falling.
