Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Undead exorcises in the castle of the Phantom Demon King today.

Less than ten days after I first helped the mercenaries in secrecy. The castle of the Phantom Demon King was apparently the object of the attention of the undead. I don't go as far as a thousand customers, but at least once every three days some kind of undead appeared out of nowhere.

There were several types of undead behavior. Mr. Lazar and the others said the undead were all coming underground, but it was a late recognition that they had been ordered to wait underground, and most intruders did come straight down the underground aisle, but seemed to be very few, but some went around the upper floors of the castle.

There were many types of undead. Most of them were the lowest undead that had never mutated, but some of them mixed 'black bones', as well as the undead of the corrupt (zombie) and evil spirits (reis) pedigrees. This wave would undoubtedly not have been able to break through with the Lazars struggling with the degree of 'black bone'.

Of course, he's not the enemy of me and Cenri (who now uses Luu's name).

I was surprised at first because this was the first time I had fought evil spirits, but 'Light-Eating (Brad Ruler)' cleaved evil spirits without flesh while objects.

I guess this blade still makes the undead a virtual enemy. Then the flesh of the lower vampires bounced off the mental contamination handled by the evil spirits, so much so that it was easier to deal with the skeletons without entities. In the first place, killing a second-degree knight Cenri requires more than the army of the loaded undead.

On the other hand, there were some things to see in the battle between Mr. Lazar and the others.

No, even if it wasn't - its guts to fight the undead in the dark with just a human being deserve praise. I'm quite jealous, to be honest, of killing fear and fighting while speaking lightly to my fragile companions.

"How do I train to be that powerful?

"It's a lot of muscle."

"... you don't look so muscular."

"Quality over quantity. Besides, it's hard to fight vampires without being so powerful."

Answer Mr. Lazar as he slashes the boner.

He told me in a voice that Cenri blamed me for being completely tamed in the past few days.

"Baron, be more nervous"

"It's okay. I'm not alarmed."

Now I was hiding the signs in three Night Crystals.

There doesn't seem to be so much amount of negative force that you can hide in one crystal because of its small size, but if you get all three together, you won't find out if the End Knight sees you. I actually get ink from the centipede around here.

The castle of the Phantom Demon King had already been explored. It would be dark from a human point of view because there is no light source in the castle, but it does not become a hurdle for vampires with eyes that foresee darkness.

There was nothing novel inside the castle. Without any expensive items, I am greatly intrigued by the existence of the ancient castle, but I cannot find anything more. I guess the information about the castle that was destroyed a long time ago is true.

If this were all I would have decided that I had nothing either and would have just left the land. But it was in the basement that I was waiting for that decision.

Naturally, I checked the basement. [M] The underground roads are maze-like, but the range is not that wide, and we already have maps.

Was it an escape route in times of need, the boneless underground tunnel makes you feel old, but it's not that demons live in it, it's just a passage in itself.

But this underground - "Night Crystal" - "Springs."

At first, the crystals that were supposed to have been recovered when we helped Mr. Lazar and the others were resurrected the next day, when they came together.

At that time, I wondered if there were crystals that I forgot to collect on the first day. When I helped the Lazars, I pulled them out without scrubbing the basement and checking, and there is no chance that there was any leftovers.

But then again two days later - when I discovered the crystals of the night again - my doubts turned to certainty.

Definitely not a leftover. In the first place, there are unique signs that only the undead can feel in the crystals of the night. No matter how small, and no matter how dark the colors are, you can't miss them.

We decided to hunt here for a while.

The principle of the development of crystals is unknown. But the crystals of night are precious. The more you have, the better. There is a disgust that is hard to describe, but you should recover it as much as possible.

So far, it's clear that the purpose of the undead, which appears every night, is crystalline. Cenri won't overlook this either. I don't want to think about the safety of the other undead either.

Leave the watch to the Lazars, the mercenary group, and sit back and make notes in the notebook Cenri bought for me.

"What are you writing?

"Secrets"

…………

Was it good to show strength at first, Mr. Lazar and the others respect my will? There are no signs of hands on Cenri at the moment either.

What I am writing about is the cycle during which the crystals of the night appear.

Day one. I was falling when I helped Mr. Lazar and the others. I didn't go the day after that. They also said no to their clients and took the day off.

On the third day, when I visited again with Mr. Lazar and the others, it had fallen. There was no day after that. Not even the day after that. And the next day it was.

Put the pen together chronologically with one hand.

At first it was resurrected empty for a day, but then it was two days later that it was resurrected. Doesn't mean he'll be resurrected in a day.

Next, as far as I can remember, I will write down what happened on each day.

Day one. Yes, I will help the Lazars. Engage a large number of boners and black bones, crusade.

Day two. Not confirmed.

Day three. Yes. Engage the Bone Man.

Day four. None. Undead does not show up.

Day five. None. Engage the bone man. Crusade two black bones.

Day six. Yes. Engage the Bone Man.

Day seven. None. Engage evil spirits and corrupters.

Day eight. None. Undead does not show up.

Day nine. None. Undead does not show up.

Day 10. None. Undead does not show up.

The undead have not shown up in the last few days. Maybe I gave up, but the Lazars say it seems Zara that there are no raids for several days in a row.

And that's where I realized.

... could it... be generated the day after defeating the mutated undead... or something?

I haven't tried enough yet, so it's not definitive, but if it is - it's very difficult.

Because it's not up to me to decide whether or not a mutated undead shows up. I am also curious as to what would happen if I could not defeat it.

However, assuming this assumption is correct, it is more likely that the power unleashed by the undead is involved in the generation of the 'crystal of the night'.

Maybe I'll be able to make it myself somehow. Anyway, I now have a basement for using Necromancer magic.

Of course I'm pretty suspicious if Cenri will allow that...

Being Lord's masterpiece, I have the power to be strong. There is also room to increase the force. The quick way to be strong is to make friends. Like Oliver, he's a demon who obeys vampires unconditionally.

But to be strong, you have to do something unethical. And Cenri doesn't want it.

My favorite centipede, which has always protected me, is a big wall above all else. It's troubling.

Immersed in luxurious troubles, Senri, who had been on sentry with Mr. Lazar and the others, called out.

"Baron, the big guy's coming"

"Hmm... 'Black Bone' again"

"More than that, above"

I didn't have any emotions on Cenri's expression, but I found Cenri to be a little nervous on the part of Cenri Master.

Above "Black Bone" or... that's your first time. Boneman hasn't even come yet today.

Stand up. At that time, the earlier troubles were already foggy. In the first place, I'm not going to take the option of leaving Cenri. And getting more than one crystal at night makes that goal realistic.

Concentrating on consciousness reveals that the air is slightly trembling.

No, you're not. This is - footsteps. It's still far, but it's pretty 'big'.

"You're putting me in the basement?

"I can't get in."

Cenri answers instantly. Cenri is much better at perceiving signs and knowledge of the undead.

Apparently, the surgeon who's been sending bone men has cut the paralysis.

Are you telling me to come out, or are you going to force me to fill the basement?

I say no to the Lazars I haven't noticed yet, and the two of us head up. They struggle with 'Black Bones' with their feet together. You don't have to be there or not, so you'd be less likely to die.

As the ground gets closer, the sway gets bigger. Cenri said.

"Probably," Skeleton Giant, the Giant Bone Man ""

"Does' black bone 'get bigger when it mutates?

"No. I make it out of giant bones. But power is above 'black bone'"

A giant, as its name suggests, is a minority race that looks like a man, but is said to be several times bigger than a man.

Because of its size, it has its own culture and says it rarely appears in the human city. Of course I've never encountered it either, but everything I've heard seems to be an excellent warrior. That would be strong because it's so much bigger than a human being.

But I see... is there such a thing? Don't study.

It is a species known for its rigidity. I'm not going to do a power comparison from the front, but I'm just a little interested in which one is more powerful than the lower vampire.

Running through the dungeon and out. At that moment, the ground trembled violently.

"Huh!?

Open your eyes. I didn't need to look.

It was even huge.

He looks like a boner with a golden bone. But every single one of those bones is much thicker than my torso and glows dull in the darkness.

At first glance I couldn't tell the full story, and I was staring down at this one from above the ceiling, where my orbit was half-baked with a disastrous red light leaking.

Reinell, the Demon King, was huge too, but Reinell had always walked four-legged, and rarely stood up on his hind legs, so the pure height would be higher here.

Besides - they're not the same.

The big guy seems to be one piece of shit, but there were countless signs of boners from around him. Not ten or twenty.

"Some 'black bones'"

"Total power battle."

Is it because we are highly regulated that we have not yet entered with all the numbers so far?

But nevertheless, anything is too overpowering. The Lazars can't keep enough.

... No, they repelled 'Black Bone', so you've aligned your forces so far? Then I did something bad to them.

The giant boner didn't give him a growl or anything. Just quiet, looking down at this one.

This is the first time I've seen a giant tribe, but it's a tremendous size for its name. Even the body of the soaked bone is very intimidating.

I gave up doing power comparisons. Anything is too different in stature.

How am I supposed to fight such a giant boner?

If a boner of this size had a giant sword worthy of size and waved it at all costs, there would be no such half-broken castle, no clump. No, about the walls with a fist blow, I think I can destroy them.

But it is superior. The opponent is huge, small circles don't work. And my jumping power would make it easy to jump up to my head.

It is faint because it is equipped with armor but the size is large. Let's slap him through the neck bone. You just have to break it before it breaks you.

This is a good opportunity to show Cenri my powers.

I said to Cenri, licking my lips at the first sign of a strong enemy in a long time.

"Cenri, I'll do the big guy."

"" Destruction ""

§

"I wanted to fight..."

"I'm sorry. But that was the best"

To my words, I say a little sorry. [M] And that expression was even more decisive in my mind.

It's a tremendous power to look at again and again. Cenri's emitted band of light blew the Giant Bone Man in one blow without doing anything.

That was no longer even a fight. If that light had been directed towards me, even I would have been destroyed by a single blow, being so strong as a lower vampire.

Even I might, perhaps, have been able to defeat the Giant Bone Man, but I wouldn't be able to defeat him with a single blow. Things leading up to the undead battle, Cenri is infinitely close.

Above all, it is scary in that its' annihilation 'moves are not Cenri's original, but Eppe's specialty. Even though I have no chance of winning at the time of Ephe, I still seem to have the only future to escape.

The Lazars were in a good mood for some reason, back-to-back with me. Maybe it was a good idea to wipe out the undead altogether. If it weren't for us, they would have killed us, but it's annoying.

"Cheer up, Baron. If you're so narrow, you'll be abandoned."

"I have my pride, too."

That was enough to know Cenri could defeat the Giant Bone Man, but not really. Where do I lower my shaken fist?

"Well, cheer up. I knocked down the big guy, report him and he'll get extra money. Lucky for you, I'll buy you a drink."

"Thank you..."

Garlic will not come out at the store, please. I'll leave you hollow in your wallet, don't lick the power of vampires.

That's all I've been thinking about, and I've got a lot of doubts behind my brain.

The Lazars are not strong mercenaries in flattery. Boneman can be defeated, but he loses to black bones, and the giant boner would have defeated him without even having to deal with him.

But - he's never a weak mercenary either. The demons that show up in the streets have enough strength to take them down, and the years since I had the sword have been much longer than I have.

[Descend] is a peaceful city. There hasn't been a war in a long time, and the level of mercenaries you visit will naturally be lower.

"... Mr. Lazar, this undead exorcism - have you ever been out dead or anything?

"Dead...? Hey, he never had a dead man on the mercenary side. It's just the basically weak undead that shows up in the first place... we were unlucky"

Mr Lazar says with a glance.

Again...? Mr. Lazar and the others are mercenaries, the work should be carefully selected because they don't have a great deal of strength.

I hope this is a story that can be done with a word of 'bad luck'......

He also has the appearance that the centipede doesn't fall on his heart. Something's wrong. Everything is wrong.

But I can't pull my hand. We can't do it. The power of the crystals at night was too fascinating to pull hands with this certainty without anything.
