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 5

Chapter 5: The Demons of Tarlash

◆ Rinne and Perseus: Journey Across the Tarlash Plains ◆

Pers-chan’s class, the Dark Princess, appears to be a close-range power-type swordsman skillfully wielding magical swords with grace, splendor, and boldness. When the magical sword is summoned, it consistently depletes MP (Mana Points), and if the consumption rate surpasses the natural recovery, it vanishes. If she runs out of MP while the magical sword is drawn, she enters a state of mana deficiency, and it becomes a dangerous situation where she can’t move until her MP recovers by 30% or more.

・The magical sword can be drawn from the Princess Gauntlet, an accessory worn on the left arm.

・Small attacks yield low power.

・The larger the swing, the greater the power.

・No weapons other than the magical sword can be equipped.

・Flashy clothing is preferred (?!)

・Flashy behavior is also more advantageous (?!?!)

“In essence, the magical sword isn’t summoned directly from the left hand; rather, the concept is that the gauntlet stores the magical sword.”

“By pulling the magical sword from the left arm with the right hand, you can unleash the magical sword! That’s the Dark Princess’s class—how splendid it turned out to be! Ohhohohoho!”

“Waooonwonooon!!!”

In short, it’s okay as long as she goes wild in her flashy clothing. And can you just stop howling along with her laugh? It seems weird things are contagious.

Additionally, the magic short sword is also made by pulling it out from the left hand. It seems better to think of it as a weapon for emergencies where you can’t afford to take the time to draw the sword, for when Rinne needs to act quickly or she might be in trouble.

“So, have you figured out a name for that magical sword?”

By the way, Pers-chan’s magical sword doesn’t have a name. It’s just a sword with red and black light, and it doesn’t seem to have any specific name. She received a short message from Babylon-chan saying, “Give it a name and cherish it ♡,” so it seems like a good idea to name it.
“Harper! It’s the sword Perseus uses, so it has to be Harper!”

It looks like Harper is the chosen name. I hope it transforms into a powerful magical sword worthy of that name, Pers-chan.

“Now that we’ve got the hang of the profession and fighting style, how about jumping into a real battle?”

“Let’s go for a real battle indeed!!! Equipment-wise, I have nothing usable at level 1 in my account warehouse, so shall we go with… just the avatar? The starting outfit is lame too.”

“Lame… well, yeah, it certainly is…”

Even though I was expecting a real battle, it appears Pers-chan wasn’t a fan of the starting outfit. The avatar inventory seems to be shared across the account, so she quickly pulled out the avatar she had before reincarnation, effortlessly putting on a new look.

She’s wearing the “Princess Crown” on her head, and a red dress called “Princess Knight Armor – Red.” Underneath, it has a white leotard-like layer, with small details. The shoes, named “Princess Knight Greave – White,” perfectly match the dress. Also, the gauntlet on the left arm fits well. It all looks really nice together. The appearance of premium avatars is pretty amazing.

“That’s right! Take this, and this one too! I thought these would suit you, use the leftover stuff from my avatar gacha!”

“Uh, an avatar gacha is a paid outfit… I can’t accept something like that.”

“It’s fine! It’ll just sit unused in the avatar inventory! Come on, change out of those plain clothes quickly!”

“Plain…”

Pers-chan handed over the avatar in a somewhat forceful manner. Is this okay? I mean, I only caught a glimpse, just a glimpse! There are already over 2,000 types of gacha avatars, and it’s a random set format where you can’t choose the parts. There are even hidden avatars not listed in popular ones, or so I heard. I just took a glimpse! No, I was definitely not thinking, “I want this!!” at all! I can’t afford it, a gacha costs 300 yen per pull!

“Received [★Classic Princess Lolita Dress – Black] from Perseus.”

“Received [Veil with Embroidery – Black] from Perseus.”

“Received [Underwear – Lace – Black] from Perseus.”

“Received [Lace-Up Long Boots – Black] from Perseus.”

It’s definitely expensive but absolutely popular. This has to be something rare. Thank you, thank you so much, Pers-chan. I’ll cherish it, really, truly, thank you so much… With the black dress and frills, it’s just so cute, really…Ah… (I’m at my limit)!!!!!

“I might have already cleared this game.”

“Not yet! Not yet! See? I told you, I just put on the avatar!”

“…Pers-chan, thank you so much. I’ll take good care of it…”

“Hehe! I’m glad you like it! I thought you’d like it for sure.”

Wearing this beloved fashion that I could only admire in real life, this… ah… it’s the best. I’m okay if I die right now. Oh, wait, I already have the undead attribute, so I’ve already died. I’m dead. Well, let’s say technically alive. Right…? Yeah.

“Now, let’s shift our focus and head out for a hunt!”

“Sure thing. Dontan, you wait until we face any trouble. Keep a lookout in our surroundings. Bark if players get too close.”

“Woof! (Got it!)”

I’ve hit my limit, and even surpassed it. Now I can’t stay still. Let’s go out and prove that I’m alive! Let’s engage in some combat to feel the intensity of my existence and earn some experience points as well.

>> 448 It’s been said for a long time that magic systems are basically four attributes: fire, water, wind, and earth. Please check the past logs.

The trading prices for both female and male avatars are insane. If you’re rich, you sell avatars from gacha, you can get as much ingame money as you want, lol.

553 Anonymous Adventurer
>> 448 Weapons do have attributes other than the basic four, but a Holy attribute weapon costs 5 million silver. It’s about the price of 10 popular avatars.

With so many players, there are too many lacking in manners and morals typical of traditional online games. If you really want to get close to the person who seems to be a Beast Tamer, approach her gently and considerately.

Guild: [Dreamscape Utopia]
A guild consisting of top-tier players passionate about both PvE and PvP. They are kind to beginners but ruthlessly hunt down players with negative karma values beyond level 30. They might even target players with positive karma if they don’t like them. Especially the sub-master, the Inquisitor, calmly engages in one-versus-many PvP. Moreover, if a malicious player is “executed,” their entire funds and random equipment are confiscated by the church. If you encounter her, run away with all your might. A guild to be cautious of.

Well, it seems something significant happened to that Inquisitor for her to abandon her high-level profession and reincarnate.

Is there a bonus or something if you reincarnate before choosing a high-level profession?

611 Anonymous Adventurer
>> 610 Seems likely.

I wonder… reaching level 45 is damn far away. If there’s no bonus, it would be a pointless reincarnation.

◆ Meanwhile, on the plains of Tarlash ◆

“Donta (Lv. 6) used [Two-Stage Palm] on Nuhyon (Lv. 14), inflicting 274 damage and 288 damage, resulting in their defeat. Gained experience: 1,420.”

“Obtained a Kris Knife (mid-grade) as loot.”

“Reached level 10! Congratulations!”

“Perseus has reached level 9. Congratulations!”

“Congrats!”

“Congrats too and thank you!”

“Thanks.”

Along with Pers-chan and our companion, we celebrated the level-up. Honestly, it’s become so routine that the congratulations and thanks are starting to lose their meaning… I feel like I can stop saying them for a while.

And… Donta is wreaking havoc. I’ve given up. Ever since he hunted the first player, I’ve given up. I don’t care anymore.

“By the way, the players mentioned in the ‘Watch Out for These People’ thread are quite famous.”

“You read those threads?”

“Once in a while. I don’t post, though… Oh! My name often comes up in the ‘Watch Out for These People’ thread too, quite frequently!”

“I see.”

“I see?!”

“Being left out would be rude.”

“W-Well, um, I’ll take that as a compliment then!”

They apparently hunted the players mentioned in the ‘Watch Out for These People’ thread. I can vaguely understand the situation. People were cautious about them in Tarlash, and that information ended up being posted on forums like that. Those kinds of exposure threads are probably filled with people even more skilled than me.

“Oh, a wolf is coming.”

“I’ll take care of it! Here we go! Yahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”

“Growl…”

“Perseus (Lv. 9) dealt 109 damage to Wolf (Lv. 8) and defeated it. Earned experience: 45.”

“It’s more efficient to hunt players! I want to hunt players! I want to PK!”

“…………Donta, if a very strong player approaches, run away. If the approaching person seems suspicious and we can beat them, it’s okay to crush them. Players who act suspiciously are in the wrong.”

“Woof woof! (Hunt! Crush! If it’s dangerous, run away! Got it!)”

Dealing with those individuals is not an issue. Crush the suspicious ones. Players who act suspiciously are in the wrong. I’ve resigned myself to Donta’s player-killing tendencies. Donta is that kind of guy.

“Waooo! (They’re here, let’s defeat them!)”

“Hurry, it seems like he found prey.”

“Well! You found experience points, right? Do your best, Don-chan!”

“Perseus (Lv. 9) activated [Maiden’s Blessing]. Some stats for the entire party will increase for a certain period.”

“Well! Well, well, well! The skill has been activated?! Is that an enhancement skill?!”

“…Do your best, Donta.”

…It’s not fair! An enhancement skill?! Pers-chan is the only one getting new skills, and I want that too! Hey hey hey hey!!!

“Donta (Lv. 6) used[Two-Stage Palm] on Johnss (Lv. 12) with a critical hit!! Dealt 559 damage, 581 damage, defeating the opponent. Earned experience: 1,070.”

“Donta (Lv. 6) used [Two-Stage Palm] on Bazz (Lv. 12), dealing 314 damage, 316 damage, defeating the opponent. Earned experience: 1,150.”

“Donta (Lv. 6) used [Two-Stage Palm] on Mika (Lv. 11) with a critical hit!! Dealt 611 damage, 609 damage, defeating the opponent. Earned experience: 970.”

“Donta (Lv. 6) used [Two-Stage Palm] on Melianne (Lv. 11), dealing 344 damage, 299 damage, defeating the opponent. Earned experience: 620.”

“Received an Iron Shield (Intermediate) as loot.”

“Received a Great Sword (Advanced) as loot.”

“Received Leather Boots (Advanced) as loot.”

“Received Witch’s Robe (Advanced) as loot.”

“Level increased to 11! Congratulations!”

“Donta reached Level 7.”

“Perseus reached Level 10. Let’s celebrate!”

“Congratulations.”

“Congrats, congrats.”

“Congrats.”

“Woah, woah.”

“Woah.”

“Woah.”

“Woof, woof.”

Celebrating the level-ups together with Donta…

Anyway, Johnss…? The name seems familiar… Melianne…? Well, whatever. Experience points, experience points. Player hunting is efficient…

“Shall we head towards the forest? As we make our way to the next town, let’s walk and hunt!”

“Sounds good! Are the monsters strong in that forest?”

“Well, somewhat. There might be monsters up to level 20. Groups of goblins can be troublesome, I suppose.”

“Goblins, huh… Don’t really need them for my undead army…”

“Exactly. Not cute, rather in the ugly and creepy category!”

“Creepy, huh… Well then, Donta? We’re heading to that forest in the south. There might be slightly stronger monsters this time, so stay alert nearby.”

“Woof, woof! (Got it! Also hungry!)”

“Hungry, huh…”

“Oh dear! I forgot to visit my account warehouse! Well, forget it, I’ll just buy more! Anywhere there is a storage service!”

“Oh, she’s talking about a premium item. Definitely.”

“Hehe. Because when I reach level 10, I have items I can equip! And I also brought some marbled meat… There you go, Don-chan!”

“Woahhhhhh!”

Player hunting gives a lot of experience points, but there aren’t many players around… If there are monsters up to level 20 in the forest, that might be better.

Donta is eating and worshiping that marbled meat. Well, I guess it’s his reward for working hard. If I work hard, I’d like to have some meat in real life too…
