**Bewildering Form and Power** is an Ultimate Wizard quest released for the 1st That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Collaboration Event for the Japanese version of Crash Fever (in the Japanese version, the quest was labelled as Spectre difficulty instead).

After the events of Chaotic Goblin Wolf Squad, Rimuru looks around with the adapter as well as Gobta & Ranga to locate Benimaru & Hakuro. Gobta soon sees the two, and points them out to the others. Rimuru remarks that they don't seem injured, and goes up to ask if they are OK. However, Benimaru tells them to stop and identify themselves. He draws his his sword and asks if the group is responsible for this situation, and asks what it is they hope to achieve. Hakuro warns Benimaru that they might be formidable enemies, and says he would hate to see Benimaru injured. Benimaru just responds that he is aware. Gobta says that something isn't right with the situation, and remarks that it is like they have never met before. Rimuru becomes annoyed, while the Great Sage finishes it's analysis, stating that what happened with Benimaru and Hakuro is due to a virus. It explains that the virus occurred when they arrived, and it's effects are manifold; as such, a casual analysis is impossible. Rimuru asks the Great Sage what it is trying to say, and the Great Sage explains that the virus has given Benimaru and Hakuro selective amnesia. Rimuru expresses annoyance, and Gobta asks what is wrong. Rimuru relays the information about how Benimaru and Hakuro have lost their memories, don't remember them, and are now upset about being in ALICE. Ranga says this might not end peacefully.

Benimaru becomes annoyed at the whispering, and becomes more hostile. Gobta asks if they really have forgotten him, and mentions his name. Benimaru responds that he doesn't know anyone named Gobta, while Hakuro asks why they are trying to deceive them. Hakuro then suggests that the group might respond to force. As they get ready to attack, Rimuru tells the adapter to prepare themselves. Benimaru and Hakuro begin fighting the group, but are soon defeated, much to their dismay. Suddenly, they snap out of their amnesia, and Benimaru asks what happened to them. Hakuro remarks that ALICE is quite a strange place, and apologizes to Rimuru. Rimuru accepts their apology, saying it wasn't their fault. Rimuru explains the situation about ALICE to them, and Benimaru apologizes to Rimuru and the adapter for ending up with the virus. The two bow down in apology, but Rimuru reminds them again that it's fine, in addition to the fact that they had help. Benimaru thanks the adapter for assisting Rimuru, and Hakuro says he wishes he could have remembered the fight.

Gobta suddenly interrupts, and says he has something to report to Rimuru. Rimuru asks him where he went, and Gobta insists that he didn't run off scared. He says he went to check out a rumor about a labyrinth showing up. Rimuru mutters some annoyance about who they think is involved, and Ranga asks if Rimuru said something. Rimuru says it's nothing, and then says they might as well check out the labyrinth since they don't sense anyone else around.

The story is continued in The Fairy Queen's Little World.

## Post Quest Blurbs

* **Chief Kijin:** As the head of his tribe, Benimaru has great leadership skills. Apparently, he was a commander in his home world.
* **Swordsmanship Instructor:** Hakuro's swordsmanship is second to none. It seems in his original world he had many students.
