Chapter 46
Are you finished with the interrogation?
Unexpectedly theres a voice that came from behind me, then I turned my back.
That was fast, master
A chibi sage with a pointy hat, fluently floating in the dark night.
Im very tired because of the treatment Oh my, aint that thing so handy?
Master said that then touched the rolling sword.
Just like the dry cloth sucked up the water, magic power instantly vanished from the magic sword. It was master who absorbed it
What are you doing master!?
Im supplying the magic power. It was to know the effect, Vaito.
Absorb it now master, maybe that was the dragon slayer magic sword Lionnich
That was a bizarre sword which held the power to kill a dragon and dragonewt. Usually to equip it you needed at least the power to hold 2 big shields.
I know, its okay I just tried it for a bit. Its dangerous after all. Oh, this shield is good too.
This shield has a kingdom crest on it, obviously it was stolen since a long time ago isnt it at least around 150 years?
what, that is not at this period?
After shield then next is the armor. Oh that was perhaps that person was really the herossuccessor.
Stop! Thats too wasteful! Its okay to leave the armor!
I know, I know, Ill go prepare it for demonkin next time. Ill use my magic power to recover for now. The treatment at Bachen is still in progress after all
Liar, you absolutely will not be doing that right?!
If my mana that I held is equal as 1 Vaito, then, for now, the sum of the sword, armor and shield is equal to 27 Vaito.
I would be happy if this was given to the second division.
Master showed a great satisfaction after absorbing all magic power from the equipment of hero imitation.
I keep counting for it but, if I am not wrong then its equal to around 128 Vaito. This lolibaba, her magic power capacity is bottomless.
Not bad. So, who is this apprentice witch?
it seems she is a hero companion
And then Master was convinced and gave a nod.
I see, so thishariboteis pretending to be ahero. This girl, I dont want to know her height so Ill destroy her body
All that personscompanionsare already destroyed you know, master.
That girl magician face became pale and as if ignoring her, Master lightly marked and bound her.
Ill bring back this fellow corpse, It will become a feast. Now wake up, Ill begin to give you a temporary life.
Master wave her finger a little bit, and 3 dying corpses begin to rise up. It became a zombie.
A small hand gently stroking the zombie who was dripping fresh blood at the time, then master kindly said.
You better go to your compatriots place. And then bury them courteously.
Master waved his hand and made an innocent smile.
This is why necromancers are misunderstood as big rascals.
they walked unsteadily while spilling out blood, going to find their former comrades.
The girl magician raised her face like she was attracted to it, that made her start trembling and clattering.
Seeing that girl, Master made a sneering smile.
What, you can walk by yourself, right? You all, its better if you take your comrade that is still alive as well
The zombies turned their backs slowly, then looked at the girl magician with their hollow eyes.
Hi
While walking swayingly, they caught that girl waist and lift her.
Heee!? Nnnnoooo!
That surprisingly good. Oh well, just go
When master swayed her hand, false hero zombies carried the girl magician and disappeared into the crack between the wall.
So messed up, master is
is something wrong?
No. its fine. Ill go scouting for a bit
Master has lost her human heart since a long time ago.
It cant be helped, Ill sneakily return to schubelm town. If theres something then master will come to help, so it will be easy.
As I thought, the town was in an uproar.
Hero-dono!? That wound is!?
Its, its dead! Thats a zombie!
That zombie was Ranhart-dono!
Sword saint-dono and holy knight as well!
They have pretty good titles. Thats unfortunate, Its self defense after all, so it cant be helped.
Wait! Saint dono is still alive!
So that girl is a saint.
Please just leave me alone.
The zombies walking to the center of Schubelm plaza, then they got crushed there.
After fulfilling the order from necromancer Gomovira, they turned back into dead bodies.
There are a lot of soldiers in the surrounding, but they were overwhelmed with the situation and cant do anything.
Of course, it would be like that.
It is because of Hero-sama and his party are the stars and hope for the northen front, suddenly became a zombie parade after all.
When officers from The Alliance troop become dumbfounded,a civil official that looks likely a noble ran away in panic.
Actually, its the first time I have seen that, but that appearance is certainly that of a Senate secretary.
The middle ageSecretaryy looked at saint-sama, then cross examined her with high tone.
What happen!? Explain now, Saint Mildin!
And then the magician girl who fell on stone pavement, gave a reply while shouting.
Its werewolf desu! The one who killed all of them was just one werewolf! Furthermore, they had been turned into zombies
Werewolf you said!? Impossible, theres no way enemy of that degree can beat hero-dono!
If that was an average werewolf then, its certainly cant beat a surprise attack from 3 people. (Tn: for those who dont remember, the number of people who gave a surprise attack is only 3. This magician came after that.)
Maybe I would out too if I didnt use soul shaker.
However, the girl that they call as Mildin is shaking her head in objection.
When that werewolf howling, its completely block the magic and the sword desu! Its impossible to win!
When they keep arguing back and forth, the soldier began to leak out a troubling conversation.
One werewolf can take on 4 people and defeated the hero, is that true?
No, I heard theres terribly strong werewolf general in the demon king troop
Theres no way such an important person came tothis place nonchalantly.
I hear that.
I hear that you know.
Because of troubling noise from the soldiers, the secretary became flustered.
Wait, Saint-sama just got distracted! Now, come here please!
The secretary pulledMildins hand, then gave a command to the one of the soldiers. The civilian soldier who was wearing casual clothes arrives and placed his helmet on his chest.
Wait a minute, is that really the hero Ranhart-sama!?
Thats right, theres no way hero will die with only this!
No way, are we being tricked!?
The reserve army who were hired by the Senate was a group of retired swordsmen and Nomad soldiers. They are professional, so they will fight no matter what happen with their companion.
But if it is a civilian soldier from a garrison, theres no way they will do that. the only one who can take control at the garrison was only themselves, but civilian soldiers way of fighting was amateurish.
Their morale will easily drop If theres bad something happening.
The soldier numbers that are arriving at plazakept increasing, and they werefalling into a state of utter chaos.
The senate secretary tried to stop the frenzy of the soldiers, but his face got punched. His nose and mouth was covered with blood. After that someone grabbed his sleeve, and then that secretary figure dissapeared inside that horde.
No one paid any respect to the fake heroes dead bodies, and the soldiers surrounded that fake saint.
You, for 26 years you thoroughly went to the magic school and became master right!? If its only one werewolf , then isnt it possible to defeat it with magic?
Thats amazing. Isnt that beyond my master?
And then saint Mildin shake her head horizontally, she look at them with scared expression.
Im, impossible I cant do that
What do you mean!?
Because I, I was a senior magician just in, in genjutsu
Genjutsu!?
Threathen by The rough soldier, she blurt out everything.
Hi!! It, it just a service to make situation lively, and concealing the scandal, that kind of job desu!
It became silent instantly
This terrible woman was a fraud!
So you are just a fake saint! Dont joke with me!
Just think how many our comrades died because of obeying this person!
Just kill this person!
Kill! Cut her head!
Oi oi seriously?
Its unusual if they gather just to kill an unarmed and non-resistant woman.
After all, its because of helping them in taking back their town , isnt it for their sake so that they can raise their morale by becoming fake heroes?
When I was thinking about that, my sleeve was pulled from behind.
Vaito-sama, Vaito-sama
In this situation the only one who calls me like that was theres no mistake it was trade dealer Maos subordinate.
There are 2 young trade dealers, I stared at them with a shocked gaze.
For Vaito-sama himself to be coming here, what are you doing at this place?
Well, somehow when I looked at the situation here I got attacked by the hero
That was ridiculous!?
To tell the truth, its because your boss is too stinky.
Anyway, come here. Change your clothes
I was pulled into the nearby tent and was dressed in a general coat of the northern civilian common soldier.
Please remember to not be conspicious, its dangerous for us
Sorry
As I said, the one at fault was your boss.
