Chapter 1311 – 1311. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
The endless rain of undead was truly a masterpiece. Even though they were only skeletons and zombies, the lower undead, it seemed that the world had come to an end just by looking at their appearance.
“… This is bad.”
Melissa muttered with a serious face.
“Not good? After all, they are the lower level undead, skeletons and zombies. Can be wiped out in one go. If necessary, you can use the bomb.”
Skeletons and zombies are nothing more than moving bones and corpses. Contrary to the terrible visual, it is not very strong.
“It must be so for the master. But who else? It is feared by nobles and servants who are not experts in combat. And there are too many of them. It must be difficult for soldiers to handle.”
“The knights will be active. Aren’t we the only ones here?”
At my words, Melissa nodded her head.
“The knights of the Duke of Argentine are strong. Now I have no choice but to trust them.”
We ran down the hall again. If there is a door, open it and check inside. There were not a few cases of encounters with living people.
“Miss!”
I found three hidden servants. They trembled and hid in a small room like a warehouse. As soon as they saw Melissa, they opened her face.
“Were you hiding here? Go to the first floor There is nothing good about being here separately.”
“Ha, but….”
Servants look out the window. Skeletons and zombies are still pouring out of the black holes in the sky.
“I know it looks dangerous. They must be afraid of countless undead appearing. In times like this, we need to come together. If you go down to the first floor, knights and soldiers will be fighting the undead. Help them.”
“Well, there is nothing we can do… !”
“Right. Then, tremble here and die from the invading undead. You don’t think you’ll be safe here forever, do you?”
The servants looked at each other and said to Melissa.
“Mistress, could you go down to the first floor with me…? ?”
“Sorry, but I have to deal with this situation. You can’t just be suffering forever, can you? The way down to the first floor is still safe. Good.”
“Yes, yes! All right!”
The servants ran towards the first floor.
I looked at them and frowned.
“They are cheeky bastards. Don’t you know your subject? You treat servants too kindly.”
“Did you imitate Master? Doesn’t Master treat the maid kindly too?”
“A maid and a servant are different.”
“Well, don’t be too angry. As long as I decided to become the owner of the Archen family, even for a short while, they are the ones I need to take care of.”
We moved to find the demon contractor again.
A corpse was found with the whole body torn to pieces. The pieces of meat writhed and moved, then clumped together. The clumped meat pulsed like it was alive.
“Creating the undead? It’s terrible.”
Melissa clicked her tongue and used her magic. A fire broke out and burned her body.
Aaaaang!
A riot was heard. Melissa and I cast our gazes out the window. An entire annex exploded. Debris falls, and black flames rise from the wreckage.
A necromancer wearing a black robe stood proudly on the ruins of a building.
“… There’s another master over there. When did you go over there?”
“It’s the worst.”
I muttered as I looked at a man caught in the hands of a necromancer. He was an aristocratic looking man. His limbs are severed, and hundreds of black caterpillars wriggle around his torso. He seemed to be digging into the man’s flesh. The man was screaming and screaming in pain.
“It looks like there is a magic circle drawn on its side, proof of the devil’s contract.”
“That guy won’t kill the demon contractor. I will use black magic to keep him alive until he fulfills his purpose.”
“In the end, the only option left is to fight head-on….”
The Necromancer turned his head. Look straight in my direction. The necromancer, who was watching me with an expressionless face, raised the undead from the rubble and headed toward the lily garden.
“It seems that you have no intention of starting a battle right away. Are you trying to be perfect?”
“Time is not on our side. The undead have been pouring in continuously since earlier… The key to solving this situation at once was caught by him.”
“Master. I guess we should stick together. If my father, the Auror Master, cooperates… It will be of great help.”
There are three master class powers. This is enough power to wipe out quite a few cities with ease. Strangely enough, however, I rarely thought that I could defeat a necromancer.
“Master. Let’s go down to the first floor. Maybe my father will come to the first floor too. Maybe he’s already directing people on the first floor.”
Following Melissa’s advice, I went down to the first floor. Soldiers and knights, nobles and servants, all living people were gathered in the lobby on the first floor. And as Melissa guessed, the Duke of Argen was in command of them.
Looking at the exhausted soldiers and knights, and the corpses scattered here and there, it seemed that they had already fought a battle. I’m in a lull right now.
“Count Pruckus. And Melissa. Do you know anything about the current situation?”
The Duke of Argen stared at me and asked. Because of the necromancer. It’s because he and I are almost identical to twins except for the color of our skin and eyes.
“Father. Let me explain. This is the work of the devil. Perhaps King Dulibad is behind this situation.”
“I have heard rumors that the king has worked with demonic contractors. I still didn’t believe it, but was the rumor true?”
The Duke of Argen looked out the window.
He said, “I was trying to get the knights out. However, a transparent membrane surrounds the mansion and blocks it.”
“The current mansion has been turned into a labyrinth by the power of the mirror demon, Birubiru. Kill the demon or the demon contractor and the situation will be resolved. The problem is that it is almost impossible to find the hidden demon… The demon contractor is being held by the necromancer.”
“So you have no choice but to fight the necromancer. What is the identity of that necromancer?”
This time I stepped out.
“I am in a parallel world. Oh, do you know about parallel worlds?”
“I heard that theory from a wizard once.”
“The devil in the mirror, Biru Biru, embodies me in a parallel world.”
“Implemented? Didn’t you bring it from a parallel world?”
“There are no parallel worlds in this world.”
I said in a confident tone. Content from the original.
“… Then why do you say that necromancers are from a parallel world?”
“Because Birubiru created a necromancer with the possibility of a parallel world. Necromancers are sophisticated fakes. From its existence to its source, everything is fake. But the power he possesses is real. They must have similar but different memories and experiences to me.”
“…… Is that possible?”
“It is evil because it is possible. The devil’s power is out of specification. Do not judge by human common sense.”
“How many demons have joined hands with King Dulibad? If each demon is at this level… The rebellion will fail.”
“Demons with this level of power are not common. Few remaining demons are as dangerous as this. I also prepared a trump card. The devil is ours. The Argentine duchy, focus only on the rebellion.”
The trump card was Yuria. I don’t think I’ll lose as long as YuRia is here.
“I get it. What are you going to do now?”
“We have no choice but to fight and defeat the necromancer to get out. He knows that too, so he acts leisurely.”
I explained the operation.
Knights and soldiers took care of the undead. And me, Melissa, and the Duke of Argen directly attack the necromancer.
“I get it.”
The Duke of Argen nodded his head without a katana.
“Father! Please take me too!!”
Verdot Argen, the son of the Duke of Argen, jumped out. His two eyes were burning with armor. I can feel the rivalry towards Melissa.
“Can not be done.”
The Duke of Argen cut it off.
“That necromancer is strong. Out of specification I have no time to protect you.”
“I promise I won’t hold you back! I am the heir to the Duke of Argen! Please give me a chance to punish him too!”
“The heir is Melissa. When the job is done, Melissa will succeed to the dukedom. And Berdo. You are still weak Stop the undead with the knights.”
“Father! I can fight too!!”
“Anyone can fight. Differentiate between courage and insolence. Don’t be overconfident in your own abilities.”
“Father… !”
“It’s an order, Verdo.”
“Kuh….”
Verdot gritted his teeth. His hand pointed at Melissa.
“Sister… ! Why can’t you be my sister?!”
“Melissa is strong. Recognizing the strong is also strength. In that sense, you keep disappointing me.”
Verdot was taken aback by the Duke of Argen’s deep sigh. He urgently looked around him. His vassals and knights knew his gaze but ignored it. In this situation, the situation was urgent to argue with the Duke of Argen.
Verdot was the only one who didn’t know the subject.
“… I will follow your orders.”
Verdot finally lowered his head.
The Duke of Argen called Harmel, the commander of the knights, before moving.
“Harmel. Verdot, please.”
“Leave it to me, my lord.”
•••
Prior to the battle, equipment was checked. I was perfect, but the Duke of Argen and Melissa were different. The two women meticulously check the equipment.
“Balm.”
“Yes. Father.”
“Don’t hate Verdot too much. Verdot is still young. He didn’t even have a coming-of-age ceremony.”
“You don’t have to worry. I do not resent Berdo. Rather, I feel sorry for Verdot.”
Melissa glanced at me.
It means don’t step out. She was going to fuck that cheeky bastard… I decided to look after Melissa.
“Do you remember when Verdot was a child? Verdot followed you well. He liked you more than me.”
“… Yes. I left Verdot without a word. It’s not strange if Verdot resents me. But I don’t regret it. Father, Verdot will have nothing to worry about. After this, I will leave the Archen family.”
“Balm. Your roots are Archen. Just don’t forget that fact.”
“I will never forget you until the day I die.”
