I Defeated the Guide Angel and I Became a Necromancer ~ I Feel Like I'm Playing a Different Game from Everyone Else, but I'm Doing Fine ~ - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Logout – Day 2

◆ Guild House [Lobby] ◆

… By the way, is Donta strong?

“Ghbwah!?”

“Woof! (I won!)”

Someone’s casual inquiry had triggered a bout to measure Donta’s strength. By participating in a [Spar], the system allowed guild members and party members to survive with 1 HP when taking fatal damage and the battle would automatically end. Even if you get knocked out, the mock battle was able to ensure that your equipment and items won’t be lost.

It started off with the rules being 1v1 sparring. The first fight featured Napping-san against Donta but Napping-san underestimated Donta and it ended within an instant. Donta initiated with [Warg Bullet]which was a super fast tackle that utilized his heavy mass and rammed into her. A disturbingly dull sound reverberated as Napping-san was propelled out of the guild house like a bullet and was knocked out.

“We can’t even win a 4v1~…”

“I won’t be able to call him Don-chan anymore After this, It should be Donta-sensei…”

“-kkuh, one more! Please let me go again! I feel like I’m so close to figuring something out!”

“Reiji, you’ve lost 10 times already.”

“Man~ It’s bad enough that we’re losing even with food buffs~”

“So strong… I can’t imagine myself… winning…”

“Wooofun!”

Before long, it became normal for multiple people to go up against Donta at once and the difficulty was considered to be so hard that many referred to the practice as [Donta Dojo]. Baldy-san would give Donta treats whenever he won in the spars so Donta was all for it.

“Can I have a solo match!?”

“Donta, Reiji says he wants to have a 1v1.”

“Woof! (Okay! I won’t go easy!)”

One of Donta’s strong points was that he never underestimated anyone. If he decides on something, he’ll go at it seriously without cutting corners… Well, that situation with the clam was less of him underestimating it and more so an accident that took place.

[Reiji has requested a spar. Request accepted… Spar beginning in 5 seconds…]

“Here I come…!”

“Woof!!”

No matter how many times he got done in, Reiji was someone that would not give up. He was a samurai, a class that only used katanas and relied on spacing. Naturally, it’s a physical attacker that focuses on power and speed to deliver a single impactful blow.

[Match commencing]

[Donta used [Warg Bullet] ]

“It’s that skill…! There!!!”

[Donta has canceled [Warg Bullet] ]

[Reiji used [Quick Draw] . Donta’s Doppel has dissipated]

“Wha!? An illusion!?”

“Awoooooooooo–on!!!!!”

[Donta used [Powerful Howl] . Reiji is now [Unconscious] ]

[Donta used [Warg Bullet] and dealt 1274 damage to Reiji. Reiji has recovered from unconsciousness. Reiji has been Stunned]

“…Goh, hwa…!?”

[Donta’s Doppel has reappeared]

[2 Combo! Donta used [Explosive Two-Stage Palm] and dealt 1552, 1555, 1552, 1555 damage to Reiji. Knockout!!!]

“Can’t mov-…”

[Donta was victorious. Well done. 10240 EXP obtained]

[Donta has risen to Level 4]

Unfortunately for him, Donta’s gotten better at using Doppel. Donta’s skill, [Doppel] was one that was always active. It was basically a skill where Donta’s illusion would attack right after him. In simple terms, the number of his attacks were doubled. However, the truly terrifying aspect of this was what he just did now. With [Trick Doppel] , Donta can cancel the use of a skill but still have his illusion carry out the skill without it getting interrupted, which is why even if Donta doesn’t go through with the tackle himself, his illusion will continue its charge and if you mistake that for the real Donta, he’ll take advantage of the large opening you leave yourself in after using a skill and hunt you down, like what happened in that fight.

Damn, isn’t my Donta super strong…?

“Woof woooof…♡ (Chicken jerky!!!)”

“Reiji’s one of the top rankers when it comes to PvP yet it still turned out like this, huh~. Here you go, Don-chan.”

“Wooof~~~♡”

“Jeez~, he’s seriously so strong… The fact that Powerful Howl causes you to faint is just cruel.”
“What’s more insane is that if the illusion is still alive, it’ll apply unconsciousness twice so even if you resist it the first time, it’s almost guaranteed that you won’t be able to the second time.”

“What the heck~~…! I really thought I had him just now…!”

“It’s rough when Warg Bullet causes a stun as well. That stun to Explosive Dual Strike combo is overpowered.”

“It’s tough for me too since he can dispel Aegis so easily~…”

“Even if you stack blunt resistance to deal with Explosive Two-Stage Palm, Warg Bullet does both blunt and pierce damage so it still hurts quite a bit. Then, if you can withstand all that, he could use his claws and that would count as [Slash] damage, right~? There’s no way I could win against that~”

“Magic too, he’s too fast and a lot of the time it doesn’t ever hit… it’s impossible…”

“Woooof~♡ hah♡ hah♡”

“Though, he just looks like a plain big dog when he’s eating chicken jerky.”

“Don-chan’s gonna get tired so make sure you keep Don-chan’s condition in mind too~”

“I’ll stop for today, forgive me…! Gah…!”

Donta can seemingly accept spars even when I’m not around so Donta Dojo will likely gain a lot of business soon. Nevertheless, I’m really unneeded for this, aren’t I? It’s like Donta’s a powerful drill bit being held up by a flimsy handle.

“… Recently, there’s been a lot of people who think Gothic and Gothic Lolita are the same thing… so it’s nice to be able to talk to someone who understands…”

“And even when people consider Victorian-style Gothic fashion as Gothic Lolita, you can’t help but be like it’s still different~, right..!?”

“Exactly… I totally… get it… Gothic Lolita is just Gothic Lolita. It’s different…”

“Do you like these sort of clothes with an almost annoying amount of frills, Rena-chan?”

“I love them… That’s the hidden cosmetic that Pers-chan had, isn’t it… There’s an offer for it up on the cosmetics bulletin board and they’re willing to spend 30,000,000…”

“Thirty…!?”

“Pers-chan… sure loves Rinne-san a whole lot~… is what I came to understand after just seeing it…”

On a separate side, across from the PvP fervor that was erupting in Donta Dojo, Rena-chan and I were having a discussion over Gothic fashion, which got more lively as we transitioned into conversations about Gothic Lolita. This cosmetic I got from Pers-chan would sell for more than 30 million! And she gave it to me just like that… Maybe I should tell Pers-chan and hand it back…

“Pers-chan actually already knew about the price and still gave it to you so… Also, this veil is nice… You have a sense for this stuff… Ah, which reminds me, I got a dupe cosmetic so I’ll give it to you.”

“Eh, ehh? I don’t have anything in return though…”

“It’s fine, you like this stuff, don’t you…?”

“I love it!”

“Mm…♡”

[You have received [Black Princess Parasol] from 07XB785Y-san]

Oooooooohh…!! It’s a black parasol with frills, frills, and more frills…!! This is a weapon cosmetic! Ooooo… I didn’t know they had weapon cosmetics too. Nice… this is really nice…!!!

“It suits you. You’re giving off noble widow vibes…”

“I really love this kind of thing and always wanted to try it…! Thank you so much!”

“Mm~…♡”

Ah~… We’ve been talking for around an hour and a half already but there was still so much more I wanted to talk about. Geh, it’s already past 12:00… Isn’t time going by too fast? Time always progresses 5 times as fast when I’m playing.

“Ah… It’s already 12… I have to get off.”

“Do you always get off around this time?”

“Mm… I have to wake up at 6 for work tomorrow…”

“Is that so… Let’s chat again some other time!”

“Bye-bye, talk to you soon.”

[07XB785Y-san has logged out]

Haah~… Rena-chan logged off… She said work, right..? She’s older than me!? Even though she looks like a loli, she was older than me. Wow, that’s a cheat in of itself… Unbelievably so…

“…And so, if you don’t skimp out on the chant and cast it fully that way, the reason why it increases the power of the spell is because when you’re casting, it forms the magic circle, the composition, empowers it and then activates it, or at least that’s my theory.”

“Certainly, when you look at this picture, it sounds like the trigger word is actually what invokes the magic circle…”

“It’s written in the ancient language though and there’s been no progress in deciphering it.”

“I can read this! Just a little bit of it though… This part here says, ‘La・menace”, I think.”

“You can read that!? I see, then does that mean the center line that looks like a hexagram is supposed to be something that connects to the words and letters!?”

“That’s how I learned it. I was under the impression that the word that activates the magic calls upon simplification, while chanting bestows magical power to each letter.”

Eh, Aurelia-chan’s side somehow turned into a study group. The onee-sans that were mages formed a group and were surrounded by spellbooks as they had a discussion over magic itself… I thought that the older girls were encircling a little witch, teaching her magic but surprisingly, it’s the opposite…! If anything, they were all studying off of Aurelia-chan!

“Then, that means the words themselves hold magic, no?”

“That does make sense and perhaps its the magic circle that arranges them and gives them shape.”

“So if you imbue magic into words, the power increases”

“It might be important to use words that are powerful too.”

“I think it’d be difficult to figure out unless you had a skill that allowed you to perceive the flow of magic emitted from those powerful words~”

“I was told that there’s a method you can use to train where you close your eyes and feel for the presence of mana in your own spells as well as other people’s spells!”

“Hehh~! Wanna try it next time you’re free?”

“I wonder if I can learn it too~”

“You should always try things out. If we can establish precedents for the stuff we learn, the magic community will show development!”

“I have no one around me that uses magic… and besides, I can’t use anything but higher magic so I’m constitutionally incapable of this practice…”

“I’d love to see the magic Aurelia-chan uses but I’m also a bit scared of its power!”

“How about this then? I’ll roll an Iceball around while your eyes are closed.”

“That sounds good, let’s do that”

“Let me join too!”

Oo, oooh… looks like they’re making a lot of progress… If you can gain a skill that enabled you to sense the trail of mana by doing that, I wanna join in too. Though I’m kind of getting tired today… I need sleep!

“Oh my, sorry for leaving you alone, Rinne-san!”

“It’s okay, I’m glad you’re having fun, Pers-chan. I had my own share of good times talking with Rena-chan.”

Pers-chan came over to me. It seems like she got pummeled by Donta. Hyper Slash was done through a rather wide swing so it must’ve been easy to dodge for Donta and on top of that, he could close the distance in the blink of an eye with Warg Bullet, then follow up with Explosive Dual Strike to get rid of her Penetrate stacks. Sounds like he was just a hopelessly bad matchup for her. Donta is pretty much a designated Pers-chan killer…

“That’s great! Speaking of, have you noticed anything different about me since I hit level 47?”

“Hm…? Not really…?”

“Look! I can pull out two magic longswords now!”

“Wow, you’re right… Huh? Pers-chan, something about you has kinda changed, hasn’t it?”

“Indeed it has! I got my job advancement! I’m now a Nemesis Princess!”

“Hoehh~~…”

In the meantime, Pers-chan changed her class and went from a Dark Princess to a Nemesis Princess. An advancement class, huh~… What sort of conditions did you need to fulfill in order to become one?

“You received something from Babylon-sama, didn’t you? That item should be waiting for an awakening!”

“Ah, it’s true. It says it needs ☆4 Magic Crystal x50”

“Here you go!”

“Ehh… can I really…?”

“I have close to 900 of them, that much of an amount won’t bother me!”

The item name changed to [Death Drive (Awakening Pending)] . I see, it’s telling me to go ahead and enhance it, right? As for the materials, admittedly all I’ve been doing is receiving but I’ll let her spoil me once again…

[Warning!!! This is a dangerous action!!!]

[Warning!!! You will potentially not receive normal support!!!]

Oh, some type of special script is being played out. This type of thing is always exciting…

[Unknown error… Resisting interference–򣱺ڭ૙çةi樢ߖ蓨… Death Drive・Of・It has been awakened~♡]

[Death Impulse・Of・That Woman was awakened to [Abyssal Death Drive・Of・It] ~♡, You go, girl~♡]

Ahn!!! The system messages turned into Babylon-chan–!!! Yay, cutee–!!!

[Now that your class changed from Necromancer to [Abyssal Necromancer] you better keep doing your best, okay~? And as a congratulations to your class change, here! Another present from me♡ Bye bye~♡]

[System restored– Guide to Necromancy – Volume 2 has been obtained]

[Guide to Dark Magic・Volume 2 has been obtained]

Ahhh, Babylon-chan’s gone…! I’d rather have the system messages stay as Babylon-chan… I’d have it on all the time… I might even read through them all the time… Ah, I wonder what happened with Death Drive. Let’s take a look.

[Abyssal Death Drive] Empty Slots None [●]

・Grants the Undead attribute to the wielder

・Changes basic attack attribute to Undead

・Enables the use of [Abyss Walker]

・Grants the Boss attribute

– The ring I gave you was an awakened one~♡

・Cannot be canceled ・Cannot be destroyed ・Weightless

Looks like I got a new skill called Abyss Walker! Yaay! In addition to that, I also got more spellbooks! My magic hasn’t progressed since the last time we saw each other so I guess this is her way of telling me to go hit the books.

“My oh my…”

“Hm…? What’s wrong, Pers-chan…?

“You got a class change, right…? Umm, your shadow… I think there’s something in your shadow, looking at me…”

“My shadow? I’m not seeing anything?”

“Uh, no, umm… N-Nevermind!”

Pers-chan mentioned something about my shadow but I’m not noticing any changes. Unlike the aura from Pers-chan’s Aegis which got deeper in color, mine didn’t look any different from how it normally did. Though, that’s good to hear since it won’t expose the fact that I’m a necromancer!

“Oh dear, it’s already this late! We have school tomorrow too… It’s about time we head off to bed, isn’t it?”

“True~. Let’s hit the hay. See you tomorrow.”

Now then, we stopped at a pretty good spot so let’s leave off here for today. Donta’ Dojo and Aurelia’s Study Hall don’t seem like they are ending any time soon. And over there… Well, I’ll try to say my goodbyes without overdoing it.

“… Ah, you’re off to bed? Roger that, see ya later~”

“I’ll make sure Don-chan doesn’t get overworked and won’t overfeed him!”

“O-Onee-chan, good night. I’ll keep things in moderation and properly sleep too!”

“Woof woof~ (See you tomorrow! I’ll wait!)”

“Goodnight then”

“Good-night everyone~!”

“””Night”””

“””Later”””

“””Aye, catch ya later.”

“Byee~”

I think I was able to get the general idea of what I wanted to say across. That should be fine, right? On that note, I’ll log out…

[Logging out…]

[Interference– Later, you crazy girl~♡ I’ll be watching you~♡]

Ahh–!!!!
