The second scenario finally began, shaped after all the events and decisions we took in the break time! I knew that those decisions would be important, but I never imagined it would lead to a completely different scenario than the one planned.

[Thanks to all the efforts you did in the break time, you were able to find the culprit behind the Darkness Traces… However, he's completely mad with the power flowing through his body and charges against you after transforming into a giant monster.]

[You have triggered the Hidden Second Scenario, changing its structure from what it was originally going to be!]

[Scenario 2/4 has begun: [Defeat the [Abyssal Dark Hell Knight: Lv300+] while protecting the four researchers from death and the citizens of the city!]

[Careful! The Boss monster will spread his flames everywhere, constantly destroying his surroundings and putting every civilian nearby at risk! You must stop him and help the civilians in danger at the same time.]

[The more civilians you save from death, the higher your score will be.]

[Scenario Requirements]: [Protect the four Researchers, kill the Boss, protect at least 30 civilians from death.]

[Scenario Hidden Requirement]: [???]

[Time Limit]: [1 Hour]

The second scenario was supposed to be about us finding clues inside of the pile of rubble left behind from their research laboratory, but it ended changing to this after we sought after the Traces of Darkness, and ultimately came to the culprit with the special divine relic made by Mercedes.

This man!

We don't even know his name, but we know he had left the traces of darkness. This ancient elf man was also overflowing with Miasma, Nether, and even Demonic Energy, coming from his own body. He had somehow managed to use relics and magic to hide the evil energies presences.

But now that we were here, he was incapable of hiding his strength anymore. We cornered him, and he was quickly forced to unleash all his powers, suddenly undergoing a surprising transformation.

His entire body transformed, the evil energies around him materializing into hardened armor that reinforced his defenses and transformed him into a giant made of black metal. His size increased from two meters to over ten meters. His bulky black armor made of metallized miasma started blazing with phantasmal flames fueled by nether, as his scythe flared with dark red flames made of demonic energy.

He had completely changed!

And above all, what made me the most curious and worried wasn't the Level 300 boss himself, nor even the flames he spread. But his words before transforming! It seemed as if he was completely confused about what was going on.

As if he had amnesia, or simply couldn't remember having done anything, yet the relic and the clues, all pointed at him as the culprit. Yet I couldn't help but feel weirded out. No matter what, there should be a point to his words, right?

This entire dungeon is made so we have to push ourselves to our limits, especially our cognitive abilities. Even the smallest clue or strange dialogue could lead to a completely different scenario than what was originally intended.

And right now, even as we confront this man, I can't help but feel a hunch, something's telling me we can't just kill him and be done with it.

But for now, at the very least, we must neutralize him!lightsnovel

"GRAAAAH!"

He roared like a monster, stepping towards me. He had his gaze set specifically on me! However, that didn't mean he came without problems aside from just fighting the ten-meter metal giant. His flames spread everywhere, slowly turning into all sorts of blazing undead creatures. Resembling ghosts, ghouls, and skeletons made of phantasmal, miasmic, and demonic fire.

[The [Abyssal Dark Hell Knight: Lv300+] has manipulated his Phantasmal Miasmic Demonic Flames! Dozens of [Aberrant Phantasmal Miasmic Demon Blazing Undead: Lv200+] are being summoned!]

[Destroy them before they spread flames everywhere and burn everything even more than before!]

"Oh no! They're summoning even more monsters!" Cecilia panicked. "W-What do we do?! T-The houses are going to be set ablaze!"

"Shit! Dammit!" Mercedes was swearing furiously, conjuring her time magic and creating walls made of stopped time to corner the endlessly spawning beasts.

"I won't let you give a single step forward, bastards!" Elbedo roared, tearing and clawing his way through the fire monsters.

"Cecilia, snap out of it!" Hermes said, conjuring barriers of stopped time as well, temporarily stopping the monsters from running away and spreading the fire on the city.

"Familiars! Surround the monster and quickly stop it! Don't let it give another step forwards! Goldie and Silver, your magic should be the most effective against him, stop him!" I said. "Everyone else, let's divide. Protect one of the researchers with the same teams as before! Nieve, transform too! Flood the place with as much holy water as you can! Everyone else, Water, Ice, and Holy Light Spirits will be infused into you, your equipment, and weapons! Don't let the flames spread and turn them off!"

As I gave my orders, all my Familiars quickly clashed against the giant. Silver and Goldie unleashed their magic and breath attacks, bombarding his blazing body in an attempt to stop his advance. Explosions of moonlight silver-colored water and holy light continued to spread, his flames beginning to weaken.

"GROOOHH!"

At the same time, the metallic giant gave a loud metallic roar, swinging his giant scythe against all my familiars, releasing a cutting wave of fire! Mimy cried, quickly imbuing her powers into her shield and making it grow to an enormous size, blocking the attack.

BOOOM!

As I continuously buffed and healed my allies while constantly spreading my Domain and Terrain, the rest of my party separated into smaller parties and all rushed to protect the researchers, who were already surrounded by hundreds of smaller monsters.

And as all of that happened, I also had an Yggdrasil Avatar right behind me, conjuring something else entirely!

"[Divine Ward: Miasma-Sealing Divine Palace]!"

FLASH!
