I Become Master of Danger Zones as Incubus With Mastery In Genetic

"So, this is Zell Forest. Look like what I except of a forest filled with bug monsters," Alros exclaimed as he lay his eyes on the suring.

As he has some interest in animal wh he is younger, hell, wh he is older as well though not as much as he is burded with works, he knew the basic knowledge of bugs.

Th again, he is inside a forest filled with monstrous insects and other arthopods, inside a fantasy world, so he knew there will be more to the monsters.

He looked a before spotting a large caterpillar crawling on the tree. He could attack it but he has no reason to. Though he did read something about it, as well as having se some missions asking for the monsters itself.

"So, that's the Verdant Caterpillar, one of the main delicacy of the city," he said to himself. And yes, the people of Zell City it the caterpillar, though in their defse, it is quiet sweet, likely because of it's diet consisting of berries and fruits aside from it's usual leaves.

"Let's ignore it for now. After all, I have other target in mind," he quickly left the area, heading slightly deeper as he try to find his target.

As Alros ter deeper and deeper, he see more and more bugs, all of them either slightly larger than normal or absolutely larger than normal, of the monsters as small as the regular bugs in his world or anywhere else.

He also noted the plants are a lot larger than usual, with ev some berry bushes, or berry trees in this world reach a staggering trunk's size. No doubt the mana causing it to grow so large. With such large vegetation, no wonder the forest able to support population of such large creatures.

From bees the size of his palm, to butterfly as large as an adult, there is an assortmt of insects and other invertebrates in the area, all of them would have giv those with fear of bugs a great scare.

His target for the day is Black Steel Bettle. While the creature's carapace is not made out of real steel, it is as hard as one, and can be used to make armor.

Though, it did make killing the battle hard as it strong skin block most attack, and piercing it would destroy the carapace and ruining it. Thankfully, there a way to kill it with ease.

But he need to find it first. It is fortunate the library contained a section for the monsters of Zell Forest, and how to find them.

With it, he knew he need to search for Purple Berry Tree. While he knew what he need to seek, finding it is another hurdle. He had to search for an information to learn of the whereabouts of the tree and the man is not cheap.

Still, at the very least he would not be walking blindly in such large forest. As he walked through the forest, he occasionally used Mana Sse to tell him of his whereabouts, namely if he is heading deeper into the forest or not.

With no landmarks and only trees that almost look the same wh they are not having any fruits to normal people, it would be a matter of time before amateurs get lose, and the reason why people tried to get guides before tering the forest the first time or just take easy missions that allow them to find bugs at the other edge of the forest.

Thankfully, he is no amateur, having some experice in the forest during a research trip, and while it is unpleasant, it did not bother him that much. Not to mtion, unlike the forest he gone to where he is assaulted by mosquitoes, ants and leeches, there is no such thing in the forest. At least the small, annoying one.

His experice as well as him taking his time doing research give him the necessary knowledge to navigate the forest, which is the ability to tell which tree is which. Combined with his Mana Sse, he need to try to get lost.

"This should be it," Alros eyed the large trees with large purple berries the size of his head. Aside from materials harvested from the monsters, sometime, gatherers from the city will head inside and grab some of the fruits as well as other vegetation, from flowers, to mushroom, to ev moss.

While he did not know any use for such thing, he could make a hazard guess that it was either for food or medicines.

"Now, are there any battle?" his eyes quickly spot a black battle, the lgth of a bike. It's carapace glisted like steel, reflecting whatever sunlight that could reach the floor of the forest.

He gripped his spear tightly as he began to move towards the battle. Thankfully, there is no other bettles or it would be troublesome. After all, while bettles are not pack animals, ev the Black Steel Bettles, it exhibit the behaviour of attacking the attacker of other bettles, swarming them.

And considering a single Purple Berry Tree would have a to 0 bettles, all at the same size of a bike, well getting ganged up by them would ruin an advturer's day.

He watched carefully as the bettle crawled on a branch large and sturdy ough for people to stand on. Unfortunately, it is too high for him. In his disguise.

As for out of it, Alros used his Mana Sse to detect if there is any people in the area. Wh he she sure there isn't any, he used his wings and appear next to the bettle. With it's being on the branch, it would be hard for it to turn a, something he had planned.

With a single swipe, he cut off 3 of it's legs, before slamming it at the side with the butt of his spear. The strike sd the bettle crashing down, it fell back first on the forest floor.

With it being upside down, getting itself upright is hard, and something he did not intt to happ. Alros dive into the bettle, his wings already tuck in before he did so, as he pierced its unprotected underbelly.

The bettle make a screeching sound before it's legs twitched and stopped, the sign it had met it's d. Alros swiped the sweat on his forehead before checking the monsters.

After suring there is no harm done to the carapace, Alros cut it off at the part connected it to the body, the weakest and hardest spot to target from any part of the monsters' bodies.

"And that is one down, 4 more to go,"
