"It's... very good to know about yourself"

A room in the inn. My textbook I brought from Lord's Mansion - says Cenri, checking all the undead drawings.

Horos Carmen's collection of books was a lot more elusive and I couldn't read more than I could. Undead drawings with lots of illustrations were one of the few books I enjoyed reading.

"But this only says... the least that is necessary. It also lacks a description of the Necromancer Instructor."

It is only a drawing. Perhaps the author is not an End Knight or Vampire Hunter, if not a Necromancer.

When Cenri closed the drawings, she removed the slim Dade glasses on the edge from the case and hung them in a familiar motion.

"I... will teach you the basics of undead"

I don't hate studying. I've never even been to school.

A study group with Cenri began in a dim room where the lamp just lit up.

§ § §

■ Zombies

"Zombies are the most basic undead. Moving rotting corpses aimed at living humans, often found in cemeteries and elsewhere. He moves slowly but is strong, and can't stop until physically split, a troublesome opponent for non-combatants. But if you have any combat experience at all because your movements are monotonous and you have no intelligence, you're not a big opponent. The best feature - to say that zombies are undead that can occur naturally. It is commonly said that there will be those who die with strong grudges. In times when cremation was underdeveloped, zombies sometimes developed massively"

It's not my base, is it?

"Yes, dead meat men and zombies are different. But the Necromancer is said to have conceived from naturally occurring zombies and created Necromancy."

I'd say you're lucky Lord brought me back to life without my flesh rotting. I have not been so sure that my flesh is rotten. [M]

"What was killed by a zombie has a low chance of becoming a zombie. This ability to infect has been enhanced and passed down to vampires as well. The danger is the lowest of the undead, but sometimes one village perishes if it is created in large quantities by the Necromancer's Necromancer's Necromancer magic. Weaknesses include holy water and silver, and fire. The sun's rays don't work, but it's the night that moves vigorously. The reason is unknown. On the battlefield, watch out for corpses."

■ Skeleton

"Boneman is a basic undead in the same row as zombies. Simply put, a moving human bone. Compared to zombies, they move fast and have weak powers. Endurance isn't that high because there's only bone left."

"Are you weaker than a zombie?

"It's not that strong. However, it should be noted that bone people (skeletons) are… rarely naturally occurring. When the undead occurred in large numbers, there was a Necromancer behind it."

"If you're weaker than a zombie, why would a Necromancer make a boner? You can make zombies."

To my question, Senri said without one disgusting face.

"Because it doesn't reek of rot. Later, bone men are prone to fortification by witchcraft, and all the meat can be made from rotten corpses. Mercenary bones, for example, are degraded compared to life, but we can also use bone men with combat skills."

That's... convenient.

"Bones with repeated grade mutations and toughened bodies can be stronger than they were before life. Caution is required. Weaknesses are striking weapons and holy water. Fire doesn't work as well as zombies."

■ Dead Meat Man (Fresh Man)

"It's me first."

"Yes. Dead meat men are the basic undead in the same row as zombies and bone men. Simply put, a moving, uncorrupted corpse. Properties move faster than zombies, force is as good, and endurance only drops a little. But the best known trait is that the dead meat man is the base of the vampire."

I feel like it's been a long time since I was resurrected. When I heard that, I grew up too.

Cenri says in a serious voice.

"Dead meat people do not occur naturally. So when the Dead Meat Man showed up, there was definitely a Necromancer behind it. Strength is not significantly different from the other two species. Normally, I don't have intelligence, and I can't talk, so I'm almost unlikely to get into people's minds. It's not hard to destroy. The weaknesses are holy water and silver, but crushing your head will kill you. That's not like a boner or a zombie."

"Are there a lot of them?

"Fresh corpses are essential for the creation of dead meat people, and they are overwhelmingly small in number compared to boners and zombies...... but not without them. Level 3 Necromancer Instructors make in Necromancer Sorcery Practice. In the Knights of the End, we see the existence of the dead flesh as a trace of the Necromancer's guide."

I see... not stronger than zombies and boners, but a nurturing imperative.

In retrospect now, it would also have been a supremely common sense response that Lord was generously nurturing me.

And so I opened my eyes and asked.

"Level 3 Necromancer Instructor...... What is the difference between Level 3 Necromancer Instructor and Level 2? The definition of a first-degree Necromancer mentor used to say that he turned himself into an undead... is Lord a second-degree?

"The Tertiary Necromancer Instructor... can only use preliminary Necromancer magic and can only produce low-ranking undead. Bones, zombies, and dead meat can be produced, but the undead produced by the third-degree Necromancer mentor............ because there is no 'mutation' engraved in the curse, accumulating the energy of death does not mutate the rank"

That's... you're lucky Lord is a second-degree magician.

Being unchanged from the dead flesh forever, or?

When I was a dead meat man's body, I had no appetite, no sleep appetite, no lust. I couldn't help but sadly... I didn't have the ability to play.

If I had existed like that forever, I would not have decayed far away. I didn't have any pain, so if I stayed that long, my spirit would likely be transformed.

§ § §

I've been listening to you for a long time, so I'm getting tired. Cenri's voice also seems to be a little ravaged.

It's time to go to sleep in time. Greatly stretched and thanked.

"Thank you, I've learned. It's time for the morning, and I'll see you next time, please."

"... good. Even for the undead, the undead are enemies. The Necromancers are in a hostile relationship with each other. Keeping your knowledge of the undead will surely help you survive."

"Thanks, that would help... I wish I could do something too"

Really, thank you if it's not enough. Is there anything I can teach Cenri? [M]

Very unsuitable on knowledge, but Cenri is not a vampire. I'm still inferior, but I'm the vampire, so there's something I should know.

And I came up with something good there.

What about a gourmet report?

I am a vampire. I know blood that can easily be attacked by vampires, and vice versa, blood that I don't want to drink. I'd be able to advise you now.

It is difficult for Cenri to become such blood, but it should be valuable as knowledge. It feels good at last, and you can get just a little blood from Cenri, two birds a stone.

When I licked my lips, I decided to propose to a centipede with a great eye out of the lens.
