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 20

Chapter 20: Day Three Comes Like A Storm

◆ Amane Rindo, Private school, Rokumeikan [Class 1-1] ◆

Mayumi wasn’t present this morning. Apparently, there was a bit of trouble that occurred at work so Mayumi had to leave. Couldn’t she handle it remotely– was what I had thought but I guess it’d be unreasonable for her to openly conduct her business remotely from school. It’s lonely without her though.

“… Then, I gave back what I rented but that girl was super cute~!”

“You’ll get called creepy again if you keep checking out girls with real modules.”

“Again, creepy Jouji~…?

“But it’s a good thing we were able to rent out some weapons~. Because of that, we made it all the way to the town of Seele~”

“Ugh… I-I guess so! Anyways, since the giant frogs are too tanky and strong for us, should we head to the forest and try the goblins instead?”

“Nah, the giant frogs give out almost 4 times as much experience as the goblins so the wetlands are way better.”

“The footing over there is awful though~…”

They’re talking about Meltis Online… The town of Seele, that’s what Mayumi and I skipped through on the first day, right? Also, they’re contemplating over those giant frogs, huh. I only remember them being really weak though. Eh? Were you guys really playing the same game? Are these people okay?

“Full Slash only does 100 damage so we follow up with Fireball for 200 damage?”

“Double-shot does 50 and if we use it twice, Jouji can just put in a little more effort and we’ll be able to take it down, no~~~??”

“Urgh… I’ll do my best…”

They’re that weak? Are these people okay?

“Aa-ah, must be nice for those top players who spend like crazy to be able to buy all the equipment they want and farm with ease~”

Mayumi spent an insane amount of money but it’s still not easy by any means. I’d love to teach these fools about the imbalanced horrors of the Insquidious and I’ll Never Forgive This Pufferfish With A Deathwish. They’d probably call the game garbage and quit if they get trampled over by Slaughterer too…

“I was looking at the bulletin boards but we met that beast tamer on the first day, didn’t we?”

“That girl who had a giant wolf with her?”

“She’s more than likely the person that killed me twice~…”

“Probably. So, what about her?”

“It’s nothing, I just heard that people on the bulletin board devised a plan to surround her and threaten to make her spit out information. Lorei is supposedly where their base is.”

“Oh my, how scary~. I hope they take revenge for me then~”

Eh.

“Lorei, huh. The monsters there are all kind of slow-moving, so maybe we could farm some stronger monsters like them?”

“I’m still only level 16, you know~?”

“Isn’t that pretty risky since the area’s over level 30?”

“I heard you could gain at least 10 levels if you approach it carefully”

“Heeh~. Wanna try it then?”

A group is going to strong-arm me, you say…? Oh ho ho… Let’s have Donta-sensei return the favor then… What? Of course, if they made up their mind about this already, they can’t complain if they get the tables turned on them. Since they’re willing to attack the town of Lorei, we’ll have them die extravagantly.

“True, the EXP gain would be a lot better if we farmed stronger monsters. Let’s risk it!”
“It was close to the ocean, right~?”

“It’s pretty much a seaside town. They’ve got a port, boats come and go, and their trade logistics are good. It sounds like it’s doing well for itself”

“Alright, let’s head there then! We might get to run across the beast tamer this time!”

“Uwaa, you still haven’t let that go? Does it really matter whether you apologize for being creepy or not?”

“That’s right~. Isn’t it weird to apologize to the person that PK’d you in the first place~? If anything, she should be the one apologizing~”

No no, isn’t that on you for being weak?

“I-I mean, it was my fault back then for inching closer…”

“How nice can you be, man…”

“That’s the reason why he gets called creepy though.”

“Even though you keep calling Jouji-san creepy, you always stick close to him, don’t you, Mikami-san~”

“I-It’s not like that! There’s nothing weird about a bow-user hiding behind a shield-user!”

“Hmmm~~~…”

Well, whatever. Let’s give hell to all the players that approach Lorei today. PvP isn’t as simple as they make it out to be. We’re the predators in this one-sided battle. I’ll engrave trauma into their very minds and show them how dangerous it is to get involved through overwhelming violence… or at least, I’ll make Donta do it. Hmm? After all, I’m the weak and frail summoner behind Donta, you know…?

“Haah~…! I’m finally done, Acchan! Did anyone do anything to you? You okay?”

“Yeah, nothing happened. Did work go okay…?”

“Indeed it did! We were approached by another company for a collaboration and it looks like things will turn out quite well!”

“Good to hear, I’m glad it wasn’t anything bad”

“Ufufu, it’s all good!”

Hahh~… I get so relieved whenever Mayumi’s here~…

◆ Home ◆

– Aside from Mayumi not being there in the morning, nothing in particular happened today. She didn’t tell me the details of the collaboration for her work but she said she’d let me know when the time comes which I was looking forward to.

“… I’ll just put these in the cleaning machine and-“

I got home, then as usual… I put my uniform in the cleaning machine and stuffed my other laundry in the washer-dryer machine before heading into the bath… fuwaaah…

– Ding-dong

I can’t, I’m in the bath right now… It’s such a hassle to leave just to answer the door~… Ah! I’m pretty sure I can respond to home deliveries from the bath actually. Now which one was it…

“I have a delivery from Nanase Mayumi-sama to Rindou Amane-sama~. It’s uhh, an LC tablet set~”

“Ah~… Do I have to go out and get it…?”

“U-Umm, I just need your signature”

“I’m in the bath right now~… Please wait a moment~… I switched off the security lock so you can take the elevator to the 8th floor~…”

“Excuse me for interrupting you while you were in a bath~ Understood, I’ll head there right away~”

A delivery, huh~… Mayumi did say she was going to give me a tablet while we were walking home yesterday. Uu~ I barely got to enjoy my bath, I don’t wanna go~… Now I have to wrap a towel around my hair, dry off my body, and ah! I’ll pause the washing machine too so I can toss the towel in afterwards~… As for my clothes, I probably shouldn’t wear my pajamas. Eh~… I guess I’ll just throw on some casual clothes~

“… Thanks for waiting”

“Ah, yes! sorry, can you sign here please”

“… There”

“Thank you very much~”

“Not at all…”

Alright, a perfect interaction. Uuー… Isn’t this is a new model tablet with all the optional features~!? Oh, Mayumi~~, jeez… Thank you… hhawah~~~. Before I open this, let’s dip myself in the bath again. I didn’t get to soak myself enough~ Bath time, bath time~

◆　◆　◆

– Now it’s time to escape reality. I unboxed the tablet and connected it to my PC. I think it was definitely easy to use, reason being, it’s a screen that doesn’t respond to anything but the pen so you can still put your hand on it. I love analogue features and it was perfect for me since it had shortcuts on the outside that resembled a mini keyboard and you could freely bind them to whatever you wanted. I’ll play around with it whenever I have time. I was really really grateful and appreciative towards Mayumi…

[Welcome to Meltis Online– Welcome back~♡ Here’s a present from your beloved Babylon-chan♡]

[You’ve received Daily Login Bonus 1 from Babylon-chan! [Inferior Iron Brace] (Poor・Common・Empty Slots None] ]

Nhn…!!! Babylon-chan’s voice is permeating my mind to the point where I might even lightly float away… Today I got a brace that only granted VIT +1. She’s telling me to turn this into a fetish too, isn’t she. But I do have the choice between the ☆2 Insquidious and Slaughter Taily Whaley that were in Morgue. Which one should I go with?

“Ah, what up~ I took a peek at the bulletin board but it sounds like you’re being targeted, Rinne-chan~…? Seems like they’re all outside~…”

“Yo!”

“Woof!”

“Welcome back, onee-chan!”

“Good evening, I was thinking of massacring all of them right now.”

“How scary~”

“Hahahah!! Then go ahead and eat this too! It’s a Tough Shark Burger!”

“Wow, thank you…down the hatch~”

With that in mind, I was greeted by the usual two, Donta and Aurelia-chan. Moreover, I hear there’s people outside of the guild house that want to greet me as well. I thought they were gonna be all talk no bite but it seems they surprisingly had guts. I’ll entertain them then.

[You’ve consumed a Tough Shark Burger]

[Your HP has been doubled for 6 hours]

[If your HP goes down to 0 within these 6 hours, you will be revived once with half of your HP]

“Thanks for the meal~… Uwah, these are some amazing effects…”

“Right? After I carefully read through the cook book yesterday, my cooking got better!”

“It’s incredible, isn’t it~? Everyone’s thrilled about it since they’re even making progress in dungeons~”

“Ah… I forgot, the book…! I’ll head out after reading this”

“Hm? A spellbook…? I’ve never seen a black book before… Wait, you were a mage?”

“Ah, yeah…”

“You’re not a beast tamer!? Or is a beast tamer considered a magic class!?”

“Hnnn~~~~…”

“Oi oi, you’re prying too hard there.”

“Ah, my bad! You don’t have to answer that!”

Napping-san and Baldy-san found out I was a magic class but I guess that’s fine. It’s eventually gonna get out anyway… More importantly, let’s read the spellbook Babylon-chan gave me yesterday. Guide to Necromancy and Guide to Dark Magic, volume 2!

[Guide to Necromancy – Volume 2]

　… Omitted.

The necromancer itself has a strong connotation of being squishy but the issue with that line of thinking is allowing yourself to be attacked in the first place. A necromancer’s survivability relies on how they prevent attacks from reaching them and how to gain control of the situation.
Allow me to recite a forbidden spell of necromancy. There exists a necromancy by the name of [Zombie Powder] which forcibly turns living humans into the undead. Upon chanting the phrase, [Become the living dead] , a dust that turns beings into zombies will be scattered. However, because this also affects the caster, it should be used as a last resort. If you truly find it necessary to use, you should be prepared to rot away as a zombie yourself.

[Guide to Dark Magic – Volume 2]

　… Omitted.
When you think of holy magic, generally healing and purification comes to mind. Dark magic tends to be the opposite, revolving around negative energy and the like. However, the two of them are quite similar. It commonly applies status effects to living beings but a lot of it also serves to strengthen the dead or kin of the darkness. If you, who are reading this, are a kindred of the darkness, you may use [Negative Burst] a spell that expands the radius of [Negative Aura] and brings about calamity to your surroundings. The invocation phrase is [Pulse of the abyss] … By the time you use this, you’ll surely be considered a heretic and your life will be in grave peril. I beg you, do not collapse mid-dream as with I– (the following is smeared in blood and unreadable).

[You have acquired the skill, Zombie Powder]

[You have acquired the skill, Negative Burst]

I see, they gave me some sort of short excerpt but as long as I get new skills I don’t really mind.

“… Hehh… I wanna try something like that too… Maybe I should…”

“Hm? What’s up Napping?”

“Eh? Ah, uhh, it’s nothing. I’m gonna take the backdoor out and visit the church~…”

“The church? Alright well, take care I guess.”

Huh, we had a backdoor? Perhaps I should leave through that too… forget it, I should be going out the front! If you wanna get in my way, I’ll wipe the floor with you.

“Oh, you’re going, Rinne-chan? Be safe.”

“I will… Donta, you can kill all the players outside except for anyone from Dreamscape Utopia, okay?”

“Gwraaaaah!!! (Got it! I’m gonna get ’em~!)”

“Aurelia-chan, are you staying here?”

“No? I’ll kill anyone who’s an enemy to onee-chan”

“Eh, that’s scary.”

“Eh?”

“… If you’re in trouble, be sure to run, alright?”

“Understood!”

“For now, I’ll just apply bone shield… If I use the wider range one, Baldy-san will be affected so I guess I’ll go with aura…”

I guarded everyone with Bone Shield and buffed them with Negative Aura. Everyone ate a Tough Shark Burger too so their HP should be doubled… Looks like we’re ready. Now then, shall we head to the battlefield~…?

◆ At the entrance of Dreamscape Utopia’s guild house ◆

It was exactly like the information on the bulletin board entailed. The lot that gathered here now were the so-called extremists even within the boards. Their average levels were no less than 50 and there were some advanced classes sprinkled here and there. With a total of 14 people here surrounding the place, waiting for her to come out, she likely won’t be able to escape and they’ll be able to pry out all the information they want from her. Oh, me? I came to Lorei with Jonsu, Mika, and Marianne. I’m just spectating but if I’m lucky, I could get some information out of this myself.

“She’s here.”

“There’s a chance she’ll run back in the guild house so make sure you reel her in.”

“That’s huge, isn’t that the wolf that’s committed numerous PKs?”

The beast tamer showed up. She came out but something seems different… The wolf never looked that lean. It should’ve been a lot chubbier. It’s different… I feel like that’s a different one that’s following her. Does that mean the one that attacked Marianne was actually another kind? Also, who was that blonde girl behind them? I can’t open up an info panel for her… Is she not a player?

“Now!!!”

“Slay that wolf!”

“Donta, slaughter them.”

“Eh, uwaaaa–”
“Oh shi–”

[Nearby Player [Shao (LV. 51)] has been slain]

[Nearby Player [Matsutake (LV. 52)] has been slain]

Hah…? Aren’t players over level 50 supposed to have advanced classes? Everyone charged in unison but two people already got done in…? Oi oi, is this really alright–

“Rage, my fangs of ice, gather forth to form a mass of ice, burst and splinter! Blizzard Crackerー!!!”

– (Craaaaaaash)!!!!

“Awooooooooooo–ooohhh!!!!!!!!!”

[You are now [Unconscious] ]

[Johnss (LV. 16) is now [Unconscious] ]

[Mika (LV. 15) is now [Unconscious] ]

[Melianne (LV. 15) is now [Unconscious] ]

[Nearby Player [Ho-oh (LV.48 )] has been slain]

[Nearby Player [Super Majin (LV. 49)] has been slain]

[Nearby Player [Mozzarellan (LV. 50)] has been slain]

[Nearby Player–]

[Nearby Player–]

What just… happened. My vision is getting dark and the kill log is darting!!! What on earth happened here!?

[You’ve recovered from [Unconscious] ]

Shit, you’re kidding me. Why’s it going after me too–

[???? used [?????] and dealt 8410 damage to you]

[You died]

[Greatsword has been lost]

[Johnss (LV. 16) has died]

[Mika (LV. 15) has died]

[Melianne (LV. 15) has died]

No way… the equipment we just borrowed yesterday… Eeh… you’ve gotta be joking… If I knew this was gonna happen, I wouldn’t have come here to spectate… I wouldn’t have said I wanted to go see it… Oi oi oi oi… please tell me you’re just kidding…

wow i sure can’t wait (coughs up blood)

◆　◆　◆

There wasn’t anyone tankier than an Insquidious. It kind of feels like I shouldn’t have bothered to have my guard up.

“Well done, Donta.”

“It would be nice if they no longer show up.”

“I thought so too~…”

“Woof woof~ (They were weak~)”

What about me? Well, the battle sorta ended before I even took a step? I mean, Donta charged in with Warg Bullet, rendered them all unconscious with Powerful Howl, Aurelia reduced their numbers, then Donta cleaned up the stranglers. I didn’t really need to do anything, y’know? Worst case scenario, if someone had broken through and rushed over to me, I would’ve hit them with my newly learned Zombie Powder and Negative Burst but since I didn’t have to, I could afford leeway.

“My inventory’s jam-packed with loot~”

“Did we get anything good?”

“Hm~… Ah! There’s earrings and stuff. Maybe I’ll turn these into fetishes~”

“That’s a good idea! I’ve never seen a fetishization so I’d love to see it!”

“Sure, I’ll try it out after we get back to the guild house then~”

“Woof woof~ (Hungry! Pet me~)”

“Good boy, Donta. Since you worked hard, you want some jerky? If those guys come back, beat them up, okay?”

“Woof! (Got it! I memorized their smell!)”

Alrighty, let’s just stuff everything in the guild storage and work on our fetishization! Since I obtained things like [Sapphire Earrings] and [Diamond Earrings] , I might as well turn them into fetishes.

Oh, after doing all that, it’s almost 7pm already, which means Pers-chan will log in soon. Once Pers-chan arrives, I’ll try doing that thing I came up with~ I can’t wait~! Man~ Meltis Online sure is fun~!!!!
