So What If It's an RPG World-Volume 10 - Chapter 26: Attack
Chapter 26: Attack
Just as we entered, we were rushed by several skeleton soldiers. Is that one of the most basic types of undead?
Aliyah flashed past, striking them with her dual swords. Oyado disappeared behind her and reappeared behind a skeleton with a knife, stabbing continuously, smashing its spine into dust.
The skeletons were defeated, and as I reached out my hand, they burned up and turning into ash.
“Just now they weren’t completely defeated. Even if they are crushed, they can reassemble their parts into a body and keep fighting. But even turning them to ash will just banish them to the Abyss. These undead were summoned from the Abyss after all, and will never truly disappear until the Abyss is destroyed.”
“Ms. Felicia knows quite a lot.”
Melody exclaimed.
“It’s……”
I was a necromancer of course, but I didn’t expect that it wasn’t commons sense……
“I had heard it from my fellow fighters. They are mercenaries who often go out, so they naturally know, yep.”
“Is that so, it’s good to head out more often.”
“Hahaha, right.”
Oyado and Aliyah were rolling their eyes at me. I gave a helpless smile. Rolling and rolling your eyes, what can you do?
At this moment, I caught sight of several undead in the corner of my eye. They were slowly moving over, but the trails of their blood were too obvious.
“Arc!”
Several bolts of lightning flew down the wall and struck three undead. The three of them let out a scream and disappeared into the air, while the rest of the undead scattered and disappeared.
“There are ghosts in addition to skeletons? It seems they have a lot of little brothers.”
Aliyah said, putting away her sword.
“But there shouldn’t be any other enemies, right? Let’s keep going.”
Aliyah’s level is much higher than mine is, so she can naturally see the surrounding more clearly than I can.
I’m not going to see a lot of things unless I wear the Eyepiece of Truth. But while the Eyepiece look like glasses, they have a unique design, and if I put them on I could be seen by people who had met me before.
And right now, we are with Melody.
“Melody, you are the most familiar with this place. You should lead the way.”
“Even if I were to lead……I don’t know where to go?”
“There’s only a couple of places, your father’s room, and his study or something. I think those two places would be most likely? Or does your house have some sort of basement?”
“There is no basement, and father’s study is his room.”
“That’s convenient. Let’s go, take us there.”
“Please follow me.”
With that, Melody lead straight ahead.
But it’s clear the her home is no longer a normal place. The surrounding space was distorted and there was a purple hue.
But I could see that there wasn’t any unusual effect by looking at my status bar. It seems that it just changes the visuals but doesn’t cause status effects.
“I have to say, your father seems to be fairly strong. I’ve seen necromancers before, but this is the first time I’ve encountered one that can not only summon undead, or even greater undead, but can turn a space into his own realm.”
“Yes……my father calls it the 【Immortality Technique】, but I’m not so sure.
“【Immortality Technique】? It sounds tempting. But how can it be called immortality without paying the price……”
I don’t know what the method is like without reading the book.
“I’m sorry to hear that. But I have little pity for your father, being attracted to unknown spells and the consequences they’ve had on his family. But there will always be pathetic people to be hated, and your father’s desires will give an opportunity to others.”
“Yes……”
Melody’s complexion looked a little unnatural. But it was only a momentary thing and she continued.
“This way. My father’s study is on the third floor……”
Before she could finish, I grabbed her hand and pulled her back. Immediately afterwards, a huge sickle slash across just above her!
“Woah!”
Melody became unstable when I pulled her and fell on me.
“Enemies?
Aliyah drew her swords and searched the surroundings.
“No……it’s was just a trap.”
I smiled. Thankfully the low-level skill【Famous Detective】could still be used. It was a few seconds before the trap activated, but if it had hit then Melody would have been seriously injured, if not cut in half.
However, I don’t know if it’s because of some physical difference, but when I activated 【Famous Detective】 but I can see the sickle through the wall, with it’s position marked in red.
Is it because the body is different, so it is being displayed differently? Or is it being shown more clearly because it was of a lower level?
Regardless, this is a good thing. We would be in danger otherwise.
“Come on, the Saints will come soon, so let’s hurry up.”
“Un.”
“Although, Melody, could you move before you answer? While you aren’t heavy, I can’t move like this.”
“Ah! I’m so sorry!”
Melody deeply blushed as she stood up.
“All right.”
I said, standing up.
“Melody, you’ll lead and I will be with you in the front. Aliyah, you are in the rear. Oyado, you watch that no one……no, there are no undead that are going to sneak up on us.”
“Got it.”
Looking at the dark staircase going up, I smiled.
Who are you going to scare with this darkness? Does the average person feel terror?
Do you think that we are afraid of the dark? Is it because you don’t know we have flashbombs?

Just as Fir and his party were entering the Bell Mansion, Yerbil had gotten the news as she was rushing over.
Falan was following behind her. Although she was here to help, Falan was more interested in collecting the other necromancer’s things.
“What? Someone went in?”
Pressing the button on her head set, Yerbil shouted out.
“Who went in? They were Imperial College students? ……Eh? It was Fir’s sister? Are there any men inside? There aren’t? How could that be……ok, I’ll be right over.’
After that, Yerbil turned to Falan.
“It seems that crowd in really interested in finding trouble even if Fir isn’t here.”
“Not necessarily.”
Falan smiled.
“Fir might be in there~”
