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 43

Chapter 43: The Overwhelmingly Crazy Girl Part 2

◆ Trade City Lorelei – Inside the Destroyed Church ◆

“The time of the Second Coming is near!!”

“Do not approach the mausoleum!! Buy us some time—Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!”

“Launched [The fallen combat Priestess, Gina] from [Corpse StorageNo.8].”

” Scatter to the wind, Necro Blast!!!””

“[The fallen combat Priestess, Gina] has exploded!!!”

“[The Fallen Veteran Inquisitor Fow (Lv.69) has taken 47,779 damage and died.]”

“[The Fallen Veteran Inquisitor Zoola (Lv.67) has taken 46,512 damage and died.]”

“[The Fallen Veteran Inquisitor Kog’maw (Lv.66) has taken 47,533 damage and died.]”

“[The Fallen Veteran Inquisitor Fow] has been laid to rest in [Corpse Repository 8].”

Man, they just keep coming, an endless supply of bomb materials for me. It’s fun to blast away groups thinking they can win by sheer numbers… Dying without being able to buy any time must be so frustrating, huh~…

“……No mercy, huh!”

“Mercy is useless against enemies~. I can’t stand to see those who colluded with pirates to torment the people of this town live without care~”

“It reminds me of the past…… Mercilessly cutting down and annihilating enemies, such bliss!!!”

“Youuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!”

“Princess Chiyo activates [One Sword Severing Iron], instant death!!! Decapitated the head of the Fallen Veteran Inquisitor Cres (Lv.68)!”

“―…………”

Man, what a rampage. Seems like there’s no one who can stand against us, right? If they stay away, they get hit by the corpse drop followed by the spectral explosion, and if they come close, Chiyo cuts them down neatly. And then, you see, it happens just like this, around the corners of the corridor.

“Now!! Fire!!!”

“Die, heretics!!!”

“We must protect our Lorelei!!!”

Here they come, the long-range unit with crossbows. They shoot with high spirits, thinking they’ll turn us into honeycombs as their finishing move, huh?

“Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my!! It doesn’t affect us at all!!!”

“W-Why…”

“A monster…!”

“Prepare for the second volley, the second volley!!!”

If Perseus charges in, you have to shoot at the leading Perseus; otherwise, if she gets close, she’ll slice through everyone. Facing Perseus without prior information is indeed the scariest thing… All prepared long-range attacks become utterly ineffective. Oh, and it’s just annoying when the message of gaining experience from more than 10 people flows, so let’s cut that message out. Crossbow holders are low level, so even if they are turned into bombs, they’re weak.

“Here we go, here we go~~~!!!”

“Perseus has activated [Maiden’s Charge]”

“Gaahhhh…!? Ha…h…”

“Now, scatter and run!!!”

“Perseus has activated [Demonic Dual Swords – Calamity Wave]”

“Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

“Calm down, aim, aim…!!”

“Ahhhh—”

Perseus charges in, blowing away the front-liner with the large shield, and then with her dual swords, she unleashes Calamity Wave in two directions toward the rear guard. Everyone’s hit, perfectly paralyzed, terrified, driven mad!! Are there any who died instantly? Maybe instant death is more likely to occur when there’s a big level difference?

“You’re in the way.”

“Perseus has activated [Execution Grasp]”

“Sto—p…”

“Perseus’s PP has been restored by 1”

Being paralyzed means they can’t move and their PP is harvested with Execution Grasp; those who can still move try to shoot with their crossbows, but to no effect. There’s really nothing they can do about this. Unless someone capable of delivering huge damage with ten hits in a short time shows up, there’s no countermeasure.

“Perseus has been targeted with [Assassination]. [Penetrate-9]”

“Why…? I aimed perfectly at the neck—aghahhh!!!?”

“Oh dear, that was close!”

There was someone hiding, an assassin-like figure… I’d like to see a detailed battle log just for this part!

“Perseus activated [Execution Grasp], dealing 14,557 damage to the assassin, the dark shadow Kadu (Lv,80). PP has been restored by 1”

“Oh? Quite tough, wasn’t it? Perhaps it was a mistake to let go…”

“As long as I do not die, there is still a way…!!!”

“The assassin, the dark shadow Kadu (Lv,80), activated [Tornado Slash], reducing Perseus’s [Penetrate] to 3”

Oh. Looks like Kadu managed to counterattack Perseus with a skill that involves spinning and slashing rapidly. But stopping there thinking it worked was a huge mistake.

“That’s the end for you!”

“Perseus has activated [Demonic Dual Swords – Hyper Slash]”

“A monster…”

“The assassin, the dark shadow Kadu (Lv,80), has taken a total of 20,557 damage and died. 350,000 experience points gained”

It was close. Just a bit more and I could have stripped away the Penetrate. But I guess it wouldn’t have mattered since Aegis was probably ready, so there was no chance of winning either way, right? More importantly, this guy gave experience points! As expected of level 80! I’m guessing that for non-boss enemies, if the level difference exceeds -11, the experience points drop to 1? Right now, at level 81, and previously the level 70 Heretic Inquisitor Chief gave 1 experience point, and the Fallen Priest Dogel, the boss we defeated in the sealed church, was level 70 but gave experience points… though it was a somewhat modest amount? Maybe bosses do give experience points, albeit reduced, regardless of the level difference? Or is it that you can still earn experience points from bosses even with a large level gap? Maybe I should try again once I reach level 82 or higher to confirm.

“I got experience points. You were a good guy…”

“Your standard for being a good guy is experience points?! Aegis!”

“Perseus has activated [Demonic Shield Aegis], entering a [Penetrate-10] state.”

“Let’s trade this trash corpse then~”

“Fired [Fallen Combat Priest Grant] from [Corpse Storage-9]”

“Undeads!!! Rise…!!! Disappear into dust… Lich Explosion!!!”

“[Fallen Combat Priest Grant] has exploded!!!”

Alright, let’s exchange this assassin, who gave experience points, with the corpse of the trash priest. Might as well blow it up while I’m at it.

“The assassin, the dark shadow Sid (Lv,80), received 45,533 damage and died. 350,000 experience points gained.”

“The assassin, the dark shadow Gene (Lv,80), received 46,691 damage and died. 350,000 experience points gained.”

Ah… Sorry. They died without much spectacle, huh? But now I have more material for bombs!! Coffining, coffining… Ah~ my slots are full~~~!!!

“Eh, there were still some left… To die without showing themselves…”

“They seemed skilled in assassination. They were somewhat competent.”

“Ei!”

“Fired [Fallen Heretic Inquisitor Nauda] from [Corpse Storage-6]”

“Fired [Fallen Combat Priest Metarma] from [Corpse Storage-10]”

“Ah?!”

“You’re still throwing them?!”

“Turn to dust, spirit explosion!”

“[Fallen Heretic Inquisitor Nauda] has exploded!!!”

“[Fallen Combat Priest Metarma] has exploded!!!”

Oooooh— I can make them explode simultaneously! That’s amazing, incredible! This necromancy is so convenient! I might start to really like this!

“The assassin, the dark shadow Mifa (Lv,85), received 45,014 damage and died. 550,000 experience points gained.”

“The assassin, the dark shadow Rafa (Lv,85), received 44,889 damage and died. 550,000 experience points gained.”

“The assassin, the dark shadow leader Zolarseen (Lv,90), received a total of 99,143 damage and died. 900,000 experience points gained.”

“Princess Chiyo has leveled up to level 10.”

Ah……… Ah~. Well, that. Um, it’s bad they didn’t run away… Maybe they were thinking this magic couldn’t be done over and over again, and were timing their escape… around the corner…

“[The dark shadow assassin Mifa] has been entombed in [Corpse Storage-6]”

“[The dark shadow assassin Rafa] has been entombed in [Corpse Storage-9]”

“[The dark shadow leader Zolarseen] has been entombed in [Corpse Storage-10]”

“…………Alright, let’s go~~~!!!”

“Where was the ‘alright’ in what just happened?!”

“It’s good when bad enemies die! Alright!!!”

“Since we no longer feel their presence, it’s an ‘alright,’ indeed!! Let’s go, Rinne-sama, Perseus-sama!!”

“I’m not convinced…! I’m not satisfied at all…!”

Well, well, calm down, Pers-chan. Besides, it seems like we’re approaching a mausoleum, right? With such heavy security and even assassins placed around, it must be a place they really don’t want us to enter! Let’s go see the underground mausoleum! Oh, it sounds good. Let’s go see the underground mausoleum, nice!

“Then, Perseus-sensei! Please kick this door open with gusto!”

“I’m not convinced, but cheers—!!”

Cheers—! While saying that and kicking the door open, a princess knight entering like that is just too grand. Now, after all this sneaking around, what are you doing in such an underground mausoleum! Show me, please—!!!

“… We made it in time!!! Now, rise again!! Captain Tornado!!!”

You’re going to resurrect an undead without me? I won’t allow it, the undead are mine!!!

“Wake up…”

“Eh?”

“Ah?”

“[★Captain Undead] has been resurrected as an undead.”

“★Captain Undead has become your servant. The name is— the name is [Tornado].”

“Greater Resurrection!!!”

“[Fallen Archbishop Noranora (Lv,95) has activated [Greater Resurrection]]”

“Miss…… There is no target.”

“Oh my~… This seems like a pitiful situation…”

“I, too, believe so…”

Huff… You’re a step too late…!

“Wow~… I slept well…? Ah~? Who are you guys?”

“Oh, have you been resurrected, Captain Tornado?! I am the Archbishop who resurrected you to reclaim control of this city, Noranora—ah…?”

“Tornado has activated [Guillotine Chop], splitting the skull of the fallen Archbishop Noranora (Lv,95).”

“Shut up!!! I’m in a bad mood when I wake up!!!”

Eh…? With a hand chop, she split the head…? In one hit? What kind of power does this person have…? And wait, Captain Tornado is a woman?! Wow, she’s huge! Taller, and um, isn’t her chest armor more splendid than mine…?! Those long, wild, red tresses are sexy too!!!

Still, the materials needed for Tornado’s undead creation, these guys had gathered it all, which really helped. Equipment, the substances needed for embodiment, everything was ready! It’s more than just luck! And, did they anticipate failing a few times? There are still materials left! I’ll take those later~~!

“Ah… My head hurts, did I drink too much…?”

“Miss Tornado… Do you understand where you are…?”

“Ah…? What’s with the gloomy-looking lady here? That’s a unique kind of sexy too, eh…? Ah? This isn’t my ship, is it? What’s with this dark, damp place that looks like a graveyard?”

Hmm… It seems Miss Tornado hasn’t realized she’s dead!!! She seems quite temperamental, so we’ll need to break it to her gently.

“…Could it be that I was dead?”

“Hmm… Perhaps, that might be the case…”

“It’s not a ‘might be’; it indeed is the case.”

Ah, she got it… She’s incredibly quick to understand―that’s a relief!

“Ah?! You’re Princess Corda…?! No… right…? You looked just like her…”

“Eh? I am Perseus! A friend of Rinne-san, the necromancer who resurrected you!”

“Princess Perseus, huh? Alright then, I’m the Pirate King who silences crying children, Captain Tornado!!! What’s with that expression of ‘Huh, I don’t know…’?”

Oh no, she doesn’t know. I can’t just say I woke her up to stop her resurrection. Aaahhh…

“We are acquainted, Princess Perseus.”

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

Huh, why does Princess Chiyo know her? Wait, are they acquainted? Huh…?

“Oh…? Ohhh!!! Now I remember, it’s you, the one who tried to overthrow the country!!!”

“T-That name, that’s, uh…”

“Ohh, sorry about that, Princess Chiyo sounds like such a cute name! You seem much livelier than last time we met, huh? So, it hasn’t been that long since I died, huh!”

Ah… Maybe, just maybe, but it feels like it’s been a really long time since we last met…

“It’s been about 300 years, I believe.”

“T-Three hundred years!!! Hahaha!! Trying to fool me, huh… Wait, is this my grave?”

“It appears to be so…”

“…What year is it now?”

“In the Meltine calendar, it’s currently the year 1147.”

“That’s 322 years ago?! You’re not 300 years old, are you?!”

“A-As for my age… Well, that’s a secret!”

“But it’s currently the year 1170 in the Meltine calendar!”

“…It seems I’ve been… exposed to death for about 23 years as well!”

“Oh no, I feel dizzy… Can I go back to sleep…?”

Chiyoko-chan… She’s definitely over 322 years old… If she was known as the Country Toppler back then, she must be even older!!!

“N-No, please… spare me… My Lorelei…”

“You’re still alive after having your head split open! Admirable, the vitality of an archbishop is comparable to that of a cockroach!”

“Ah… We can’t use the undead explosion since I need to deal with the grave at the very back…”

“That can’t be helped! What weapons are you proficient in, Tornado-san?!”

“Tornado-dono wields dual axes, one in each hand.”

“Dual axes?!”

“Yeah! Oh, I like this purple battle-axe! It suits me! As for the other one, any old axe next to my grave will do.”

Oh no… Looking back at the log, it’s true, no experience points were gained. It says “split the head of the Fallen Archbishop Noranora (Lv. 95),” but it doesn’t mention defeating or killing. This is my mistake… It’s not normal to think you haven’t killed someone after splitting their head open, right?

“Mi-Yo…!! This is the gift I’ve received, the flesh of an angel!!!!”

“The Fallen Archbishop Noranora (Lv. 95) is transforming!!!”

“Transformed into the Fallen Angel Nurael (Lv. 100)!!!”

Oh… What should we do? I’m starting to feel like breaking them into pieces…!!! The one angel I hate the most among the ones I hate the most has appeared!!! A piece of trash that tries to cozy up to our side despite being an angel!!! A scumbag who claims to be a “Fallen Angel” just by putting on black angel wings!!! Even though they approach the demon side, they still insist, “No, I’m an angel~”!!! The garbage bastards who still claim to be angels even after getting close to the devil’s side…!!!

“Angles… Acchan hates them the most…”

“I don’t like those kinds of beings either. They’re indecisive, and above all, angels just rub me the wrong way.”

“Angels are not decent beings. There’s no point in talking to them; they’re better off being slain…”

“Well, isn’t this a coincidence!! I hate angels too! Die! Perforate, Curse Spear!!!”

“Weak!!! Dealt 2,881 damage to the Fallen Angel Nurael (Lv. 100)! Inflicted with curse status!”

“Gwaaaaaahhhh…!!!”

“Holy attribute!”

“Well then, shall we kill together for the first time in a while?! Country Toppler!!!”

“Please don’t call me that!!!”

The curse is working!!! The curse is effective!!! It’s a holy attribute attack! That’s right, a holy attribute! The battle-axe I discreetly handed over to Tornado-san, the ★Bacillus Axe that appeared back then! It’s dark attribute, Tornado-san! It’s super effective against that! Oh, Pers-chan can attack with not only non-attribute but also darkness, right?! Ohohoho!!! It’s a super effective fest!!! Let’s massacre all the angels!!!
