Chapter 100.1, Night Crystal (3)
We are exterminating undead in the castle of the Mirage Demon King today as well.
It’s been more than 10 days since we started to secretly help the mercenaries. The castle of the Mirage Demon King seemed to be the focus of the undead. While they weren’t flooding us every day, some undead appeared out of nowhere at least once in 3 days.
There were several patterns to the way the undead acted. Mister Lazar and his teammates said that all the undead were coming to the basement, but this knowledge was based on the fact that they were ordered to wait underground, and while most invaders seemed to be coming to the underground passage immediately, a few of them went around the higher floors of the castle.
Most of the undead were Skeletons. A lot of them were the lowest rank undead that hadn’t evolved even once, but there were ‘Black Bones’ mixed in, along with zombies and wraiths. Mister Lazar and his group that were having troubles with a mere ‘Black Bone’ definitely wouldn’t be able to overcome this wave.
Of course those are no match for me and Senri (who’s now using Roux’s name).
It was my first time fighting Wraiths so I was surprised at first, but ‘Blood Ruler’ could cut wraiths, who had no body, as if they had physical mass. As I thought, this blade could take undead as potential enemies. Furthermore, the body of lower vampires repels the mind manipulation wraiths use, so fighting them was much easier than dealing with Skeletons, who have no substance. Meanwhile, In order to kill a second class knight like Senri, they would need a horde bigger than the army of undead created by the Lord.
On the other hand, there was something to learn from the way Mister Lazar and his teammates fought. No, even if there wasn’t ――their guts for fighting the undead in darkness as ordinary humans was commendable. Frankly speaking, I was quite envious of the way they fought while cracking jokes with their weak comrades to overcome fear.
