Legacy of the Lost Hero: Reborn to Another World
Chapter 9: "The Crimson Forest Massacre"
---
[Scene 1 – Crimson Jungle Atmosphere]
Crimson leaves swirl in the wind, turning the forest into a haunted battlefield. The density of mana keeps rising, and tension is clearly visible on everyone's faces.
Valeria: "Everyone stay alert! This isn't a normal demon… it's something far worse."
Hayashi's expression is calm, but his eyes hold a storm.
Reinhardt silently clenches his fists. Marianne scans every corner with sharp precision.
Hayashi (thinking):
"This mana pressure… it's abnormal. Are we too late? Or did someone delay us on purpose?"
Suddenly, a sharp scream tears through the air.

[Scene 2 – B-1 Class's Last Stand]
Miss Eleanor stands as a shield in front of her students. Her body is soaked in blood, but her determination is unshaken.
The A-Rank demon Malakar has reached his full form — a hulking mass of cursed mana. His eyes glow blood red, and dark poison drips from his claws.
Malakar: "You all will become my perfect creations."
Miss Eleanor: "Over my dead body."
SLASH!
Malakar teleports behind her — and in one brutal slash, Eleanor falls to the ground…
But it doesn't end there.
Her body begins twitching… and her eyes glow white.
Miss Eleanor has now become a demon.

[Scene 3 – Hayashi's Squad Arrives]
Valeria (shocked):
"That confirms it… anyone Malakar kills becomes a demon."
Hayashi's face tightens.
Hayashi: "Multiplying demons… this is a curse. Like an infection."
Just then, Avelis Leonhart steps forward — calm and exuding dangerous aura. His sword gleams.
Avelis: "Let's end this battle. No hesitation."
---
[Scene 4 – Emotional Reunion]
Hayashi and Iris lock eyes.
Iris (tearfully): "Big brother…"
Hayashi (softly): "We're here now. You're going to be okay."
Without saying a word, Avelis places his hand gently on Iris's head.
Avelis: "Next time, you'll need to be braver."
---
[Scene 5 – War Formation Begins]
Valeria commands the team to split:
Injured B-1 students are escorted back to the Academy by A-3 squad members.
Fight Team:
Hayashi, Reinhardt, Marianne, Avelis, Cedric, Selena, Juno, Eva
Cedric: Casts fire walls.
Selena: Prepares her holy spear.
Juno: Sets mana traps.
Eva: Activates defensive shields.
Malakar charges with his demon army. Avelis slashes with lightning-fast precision.
---
[Scene 6 – Sacrifices Begin]
A B-1 student jumps in to save Iris and gets hit — instantly turning into a demon.
Iris (screaming): "STOP DYING FOR ME!"
Hayashi: "Then learn to fight, Iris. You're not weak."
Suddenly, Iris's mana erupts — for the first time, a divine light explodes from within her.
---
[Scene 7 – Final Clash with Malakar]
Malakar's cursed energy explodes.
Malakar: "Witness my final form!"
His body transforms into a monstrous being — with spikes, horns, and black mist.
Avelis: "Now we need teamwork. GO!"
Valeria: Binding spells
Selena & Cedric: Holy flame combo
Iris: Healing and support
Reinhardt: Tanking hits
Marianne: Precision spear strikes
Juno: Area traps
Eva: Defense barriers
Hayashi leaps into the air—
"Activate: Mana Compression Blade!"
Avelis boosts him with wind magic. Reinhardt throws his shield. Marianne provides cover.
SLASH!!
Malakar's heart is pierced — his body dissolves into black mist.
---
[Scene 8 – Aftermath & Twist Ending]
Valeria picks up an ancient, cursed scroll from the ground.
Valeria: "This wasn't a wild demon's plan… someone orchestrated this."
Hayashi's eyes widen.
Hayashi: "Could it be… Darius Blackthorne?"
Black screen fades in…
"To Be Continued…"
