Episode 16
Renee swung her sword horizontally.
squeak.
fillet.
The Skeleton Soldiers collapsed with their heads cut off.
However, Rene did not advance further.
It was because of the bizarre phenomenon that unfolded in front of my eyes that I was hardened.
“… … I am back.”
Renee, who had stopped moving, muttered with her eyes wide open.
As the saying goes, the Skeleton Soldiers, despite having collapsed once, were being reassembled again while creaking.
Lene looked bewildered.
On the other hand, I was calmer than usual.
‘It’s just as I described in the original work.’
Skeleton soldiers could not be killed unless the bones were completely crushed.
That is why the territory of the undead belongs to the upper-middle class among unexplored regions.
However, it is not difficult if you know how to break it.
“My lady, please move forward.”
“what?”
At the sudden request, Rene glared at me.
However, there was no time to answer René’s questions.
squeak.
I swung my dagger and incapacitated one of the skeleton soldiers.
I watched the bones squirm and stared at Rene.
“If you listen to me, you can attack easily.”
“… … okay.”
Rene reluctantly swung her sword and started moving forward.
I followed, kicking the bones as they began to reassemble.
If you can’t kill it, it’s better to prevent it from being assembled.
Even so, I looked around and looked for ‘the guy’.
‘There is a high probability that it will be at the end. Because he’s not going to die like a dog.’
It was as expected.
After a while, at the end of my gaze, there was a skeleton necromancer holding a ‘crystal jewel’ and glancing red eyes.
Kill the intruder.
Hearing the murmur of the Necromancer, he smiled confidently.
The strategy became very simple because the location of the Necromancer was identified.
‘But it’s a pretty difficult situation to use location exchange.’
It is thanks to the Crystal Jewel that the Necromancer can control the Skeleton Soldiers.
That’s why it’s a problem that will end if only the crystal jewel is destroyed, but it wasn’t easy to get close to him.
The strongest of the Skeleton Soldiers must have been deployed around the Necromancer.
It was the same even if using position exchange.
‘If I exchange my position with the crystal ball, I won’t be able to withstand the attacks of the guys around me.’
It might be possible to get out immediately by using a location exchange, but the risk was a bit high.
so that.
‘The situation has finally come to use the newly acquired ability.’
After thinking about it, I shouted at Lene.
“You just have to go in front of him!”
“huh.”
Rene nodded and began to concentrate on opening the road.
I also slowly raised my mana and followed Rene.
Then, at one point, Rene couldn’t go any further and stopped walking.
It was because the entities guarding the Necromancer were blocking her.
but.
‘It was close, but… … I’ll reach you.’
I designated the dagger in my hand.
“done… … .”
Then arrows began to shoot out in all directions from the dagger, not from my body.
This is what was obtained when the ability of location exchange became the II stage.
exchange of positions between objects.
But the distance is very short. I guess it’s around 3-4m.
‘It’s not an assassination ability, it’s an ability I gave to Adele for stealing.’
If I increased the distance beyond that, the balance seemed to collapse completely, so I put a kind of ‘restriction’ on it.
If I knew how to possess it, I would have given it more fraudulent abilities, but I never dreamed that something like this would happen.
“appointed.”
Shaking his head, he brushed off his thoughts and designated the top of the Necromancer’s hand.
I was able to move the arrow without difficulty because it was right in front of his eyes.
“exchange-.”
And I changed the location of the crystal gem and dagger he was holding.
“… … .”
A crystal gem held in the hand.
My eyes narrowed in joy.
It’s a pity that the distance is short, but even this much is enough fraudulent ability.
As the level of position exchange increased, the distance increased, so it was possible to compensate for the weakness to some extent.
So I gave strength to the hand holding the crystal jewel.
Oh no… … !
“I can’t go.”
The Necromancer stretched out his hand, complaining of pain.
However, I couldn’t stop myself because Rene was in the way.
I stared into the Necromancer’s quivering red eyes and smiled.
Kwajik.
The crystal jewel was shattered and the Necromancer’s model collapsed.
The other skeleton soldiers also fell one by one, and eventually they all collapsed.
The battle ended with our victory.
While looking at the fallen skeletons.
A hoarse, cracked voice rang in my ear.
thanks.
A voice full of complex and innumerable remorse.
I closed the eyes of the necromancer who still had red eyes.
… … Because everyone in this seat is a dead person because of the setting I made up.
“It is over.”
Renee patted the skeleton soldiers with her feet and exhaled exhaustedly.
But I shook my head at Renee’s voice.
“Not yet.”
“Are there any more?”
“yes.”
Yes.
There was one thing that hadn’t been done yet.
Since they had just attacked the unexplored region, it was their turn to get a ‘reward’.
“Please follow me.”
That’s how Renee and I started to walk in the unexplored region.
After passing through the dug up tombs, the other place was in front of a huge pillar.
The base of the cross on the ground was the body of the pillar.
And in front of the pillar… … .
“Looks like a treasure chest.”
I let go of my pretension and pointed at the treasure chest.
I already know everything from the fact that the treasure chest is here to what’s inside, but… … .
‘It would be better to avoid unnecessary suspicion.’
I looked at Lene, nodded lightly, and opened my mouth.
“I’m curious to see what’s inside, so let’s open it.”
“Yes, then.”
Rene was curious about what treasure was in the box.
I’m also a little curious.
It’s a treasure I wrote, but I didn’t know what it actually looked like.
“I will open it.”
I bent down and opened the treasure chest.
There was a click and the treasure chest revealed its insides.
“oh.”
I exclaimed in admiration.
Heaps of gold coins and two stylish pieces of equipment that catch the eye.
He held one of them in his hand and laughed.
【Fangs of Darkness】
It was the name of the artifact I was holding.
A dagger made of black iron that can only be found in the demon realm.
The handle of the dagger is made of real bone.
The bones left after killing the legendary heroes of the human world were eroded by demonic energy and dyed black.
The most important thing to note is the unique ability of this art fact.
‘Cutting power and speed increase in the dark.’

Not only that, but it also allows you to bring out your dark traits to the limit.
The ability of Fangs of Darkness is to replace darkness with mana.
rocking.
When mana containing the dark attribute was added to the fangs of darkness, a pulsating black wave could be seen.
“and… … .”
I lowered my gaze and picked up another treasure left behind.
An artifact in the form of a ring.
[Full Moon Youngshin]
A ring with the ability to absorb mana and moonlight.
But it was an artifact I didn’t really need.
In fact, it would be nice to have it, but trying to eat it all alone would make me sick.
“It is a nice ring. How does Lene-nim take care of this? I’ll take the dagger over there.”
“hmm… … good.”
Rene pondered over my proposal and expressed her consent.
Since his main weapon is a long sword rather than a dagger, he probably won’t be interested in daggers.
I hung the fangs of darkness from my waist and lifted the ring.
Then he went up to Renee and put the ring on her second finger.
“!!”
Then, both of Renee’s shoulders shook greatly.
I wondered why, but I realized what it meant to wear a ring on my second finger.
It must have been a marriage proposal or an expression of affection… … .
well, it’ll be fine
Just like the laws of demons and humans are different, these things will be different.
As I expected, Rene, who had a slightly surprised expression, focused on the ability of the ring.
“this… … great.”
Rene vomited in admiration.
When the Full Moon Spirit was worn, Rene’s mana was gently shaken.
Youngsin Full Moon started to assist Rene’s mana response.
“You seem to like it.”
“Yeah, I like it.”
“Then this is me… … .”
I quietly reached out for the pile of gold coins.
However, he had to put his hand back into Rene’s cold gaze.
In the end, it was decided to split the gold coin exactly in half.
It’s too bad… … .
* * *
After leaving the estate of the undead, we returned to the mansion.
I spent my time doing chores and waiting on Rene and practicing mana simbeop.
That was when about a month had passed.
[Assen Adele]
: Race – [half (half) E]
: Tendency – [ Chaos ]
: Talent – [Location Exchange ‘II’]
: Characteristics – [ Interest ] [ Preoccupation ] [ Live ] [ Dark ] [ Mana Management ] [ Iris of Arrogance ]
: Mana – [ 1035 ⇒ 1297 ]
Geared up, the total amount of mana far exceeded 1000 and reached 1300.
From nob le mt l dot com
Now, in terms of the amount of mana alone, it was about to rise to the middle rank of the Pandemonium.
satisfactory results.
In addition, there are fangs of darkness and eyes of arrogance, so if you do well, you should be able to grow as much as Adele in the original.
When you’re making such a satisfying smile.
“The Lord is calling.”
Crete called me.
I followed the servant, and when I entered the office, I could see Rene and Crete.
It seemed that Lene had just arrived.
When Rene and I stood still, Crete suddenly opened her mouth.
“Now the day to enter Saitan has come.”
These were the first words Crete called me and Lene.
My expression hardened visibly.
Finally, the time to enter Saitan had come.
“I never dreamed that this day would come. No, maybe you knew from the start.”
Crete said, shaking off a much emotional laugh.
I didn’t know why he was making such a laugh, so I just listened quietly.
“Starting today, you will go to the capital to enroll in Saitan. The preparations must have already been completed.”
“yes.”
“yes.”
Rene nodded her head with a flushed expression.
I also nodded.
There was nothing to be said for preparation anyway.
All I had to do was take the Fang of Darkness and the information paper obtained from attacking the territory of the undead.
“Then go out, I won’t bother to see you off.”
Crete was still unsure of Rene’s admission to Saitan.
Come to think of it, Crete was trying to keep Rene from entering Saitan.
He made them attack the middle-level unexplored region, and that mindset still lingered in his words and actions.
Is that why?
“… … .”
Rene bowed her head and left the office.
Rene’s eyes, which passed by, were wet with a little bit of water.
“Adele.”
While looking at Lene, who left, Crete’s voice was heard.
In response, I turned my head and looked at Crete.
“I wish you well.”
What do you want to do well?
I don’t know the meaning.
In the past, I would have cursed at Crete inwardly, but for some reason I didn’t think so.
“yes.”
After bowing my head in reply, I left the office in Crete.
Then he came out of the mansion and glanced back.
“… … … .”
Crete, who said she would not see her off.
He was looking through the window with the curtains drawn at the carriage in which Rene was riding.
Because of the distance, I couldn’t see Crete’s expression exactly.
What was certain was that Crete’s face was filled with the worries of a father.
