Chapter 325 – Day 47 – The Princess Fights the Undead to Protect Mana
“Venus, Arisa. Take as much time as possible while I prepare to activate this magic circle.”
“Isn’t the opponent undead? Are there any wooden boards that can block the windows on the first floor?”
“It’s okay not to worry about that. There are no windows.”
The first mana smiles and holds out her hand to activate the magic circle.
The princess and her party were standing at the entrance of a huge mansion.
‘It’s a good thing that all the undead are trying to enter through that door…’
The princess looked around her just in case and realized that this mansion didn’t really have a single window on the first floor.
“Hey, wait. Mana. You said you were operating a magic circle?”
“When this magic circle is activated, all undead in the vicinity can be neutralized.”
“No…! I understand the operation effect, but did you make this into a magic circle? No, that’s ridiculous. How did you make it in such an ignorant way?!”
Arisa screamed in disbelief, so Venus turned and looked at the floor where the two women were standing.
Under the feet of Mana, Venus, who has almost no professional knowledge about magic, even looks at it, ‘You look so complicated…’ The magic circle drawn in a bizarre and strange way was engraved with blood.
“I can’t help it.”
“What are you talking about? More than half of the spells here are unnecessary. Is it necessary to amplify magic so much so ignorantly? It takes too much time and the burden on the wizard is too great!”
“…Arisa.”
Mana made a very sad expression.
The moment Arisa saw that expression, she knew that Mana had drawn a very, very complex magic circle that she would never use if she were an ordinary magician.
“Your magic isn’t regenerating properly, right? Just like the original mana… “
The magic circle drawn on the floor was not completed all at once.
A lot of blood was drawn on it. How many revisions did she go through? Arisa felt sorry for yelling at her that she was an ignorant magician.
‘If I were Mana, I would never have been able to draw a magic circle like this… This is…’
Arisa bit her lip, let out a deep sigh, then undid the cloak covering her shoulders and threw it on the floor.
“Speaking as a wizard, mana. Your magic circle is rubbish.”
“Ah, Arisa! What are you talking about!?”
“But… I can see that you are trying to somehow rectify the crime you committed. The reason why you couldn’t manage the barrier properly until now must have been because you didn’t have magic in your body.”
Arisa, a sorceress called a genius, grabs the high leg that is holding her groin with both hands and lifts it all the way up, exposing her bare skin as much as possible.
“I’ll use my strength for you, who has the heart that a wizard is most likely to throw away.”
-Boom! Quaang!
The moment Arisa finished her words, the door of the huge mansion opened with a rattling sound.
The undead clinging to the wagon and those who are not much different start to walk with a bizarre groan, and Arisa swings his right hand wide without uttering a spell.
-Roaring!
A magic circle instantly formed under the feet of the undead, and blue flames spewed out and began to burn them.
It did n’t end there, Arisa, who cast a very simple spell and created a fireball from his hand her, threw it without hesitation and started slaughter the undead walking from afar.
“Yeah.. As expected, it’s scary because Arisa is starting to use magic properly.”
“Don’t give me weird compliments!”
Arisa smiled and snapped her fingers her, and with just that, spears of ice appeared above her head her, piercing the enemies in front of her.
– Clink!
“Mana! Didn’t you say there were no windows!”
“…Sorry, it’s on the 2nd or 3rd floor.”
The moment Mana answered with a slight eyebrow frown, she began to hear creepy footsteps from above her mansion.
“Things can’t work out that well. No way… Diana! Can you help me!”
“Arisa is doing a great job, so of course I have to do something too, right? Leave it to me.”
Diana smiles, takes off her gloves, and slashes her wrists with her dagger, dripping blood.
“…The number of zombies entering the mansion is twenty… No, twenty one… It’s increasing! You don’t know about skeleton soldiers, so you should know!”
“That’s enough!”
Shouting, Venus runs up the stairs leading down to the central hall.
As expected, she was able to meet zombies trying to come down the stairs, and she took out a sword from her waist and cut through the enemies right in front of her.
The zombies clinging to him as he stretched out his hand his were certainly menacing, but he was no match for Venus, who possessed transcendental power.
“Huh…!”
By slashing the heads of those approaching with a sword in an instant, and kicking the chests of those coming from a place where they cannot wield a sword, Venus surely subdues the enemy.
However, the undead are always overflowing in numbers.
“Chit! I can’t help it. The mansion may get a little dirty, but please understand!”
Diana shouts and instantly conjures her weapon from the drops of blood she places on her palm her and shoots them at the stairs on the right rather than the one on the left, which Venus is blocking.
-Kaang! Kang! Keying!!
Diana’s weapons her, which were fired with an unpleasant sound, certainly slaughtered the undead, but there were still a lot of them.
“Ugh, uh uh!”
It wasn’t just those who came down the stairs calmly, but there were also cases where those clinging to the handrails on the 2nd and 3rd floors fell vertically into the central hall.
“Ugh…”
In most cases, they pose no threat at all, with their arms and legs smashed as they fall to the ground, but soldiers made of skeletons tell a different story.
“Mr. Ceres! How can I kill these undead?!”
“Mostly, you can just smash the skull.”
Ceres shouted as she took out the rune engraved with the destruction magic, and Hedone took out the gun hidden in her dress and fired without hesitation.
“…Mana! You know we can’t stop this undead army forever?!”
“Ah, I know. I’m sorry. Please wait a little longer.”
Mana is sweating profusely and screams at her.
Normally, I couldn’t even imagine how the hell she stopped these undead, but Arisa bit her lips tightly and snapped her fingers.
The fierce cold wave instantly created a huge wall of ice at the door of the mansion, and Arisa, who turned around, reached out her hand and turned the undead attacking Hedone and Ceres into charcoal in an instant.
“Kuk..! These undead guys!”
After bravely killing zombies and skeleton soldiers, Venus realizes something strange little by little.
‘These bastards…! Isn’t it completely different from what I learned from books!’
Thinking to herself, Venus raised her doubts even more when she saw that most of the undead on the second and third floors did not climb down the stairs and fall into the central hall.
‘These guys are the ones who move like beasts! Right now, they are moving as if they are acting with a clear goal..!’
Thud! Thud!! The louder the sound of the undead hitting the ice wall that Arisa had created, the more Venus became convinced, not doubtful.
‘These guys… It’s clear that someone is controlling them…!’
The moment his thoughts her became clear, Venus dropped his sword lightly to confirm it and slowly stepped back.
‘If these zombies are the ones who act according to their instincts! If I don’t attack, they will naturally cling to me… !’
Venus slowly stepped back and entered the room near the stairs.
As she expected, most of the zombies didn’t attack Venus, but started going down the stairs, and one or two of them ran towards Venus, bleeding black.
“Chit…! Mana! Arisa! These bastards! They’re not normal!”
“The undead are not normally normal, Venus!”
“That, that’s not it! It’s different from the undead we learned about in the book! It looks like there’s a necromancer controlling these guys!”
When Venus shouted, Arisa realized something and put her hands together to form her magic circle her, spreading it wide to the left and right of her.
“Ugh…! Kyaaak…!”
A huge wind pressure created around Arisa, blowing her body away, and most of the undead that were walking towards the party were thrown into the air like frogs swept away by a typhoon.
-Boom! Cooong! Kwaaang!
At that moment, the ice wall that Arisa created shattered and a huge mass appeared.
“…Did the necromancer overhear Venus?”
What appeared in the central hall was an undead ogre created by combining numerous corpses into one.
I wondered if I should call this an ‘ogre’ creature, but anyway, it had a gigantic body that seemed to be five times the size of an ordinary human woman, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable to call it an ogre.
“…Haa… I’m late… Ugh, I’m sorry. I can start working now…!”
Just before swinging her club, which the giant ogre is holding, Mana yells and moves her hand wide.
White light emanated from the magic circle carved into the ground and instantly burned the flesh of the undead.
“Haa… I don’t know what kind of crazy guy does this…”
Shaking off the black blood from his body Her, Venus descended the stairs.
“…Ugh… Everyone… Thank you.”
Mana speaks her words with painful breathing, and she quickly twists and rolls her eyes, and she collapses in her seat.
“Ah, G. Seriously! I knew this would happen! This magic circle doesn’t work this fast…!”
Arisa hurriedly grabbed the body of Mana who had fallen from her seat along with Ceres and hugged her.
“Are you all right?”
“No, no … Heh, it’s as serious as you can see. You even rolled her eyes and passed out.”
Arisa hurriedly pulled her mana off her as much of her dress as she could to reveal her bare skin on her, then she placed her hand on her forehead to check her heat on her.
“First. Let’s lay it down on the bed and let it rest. Mr. Ceres! Could you lay some mana in a clean room? I’m… I’m going to clean this mansion before the rotten me vibrates.”
“As soon as Mana-sama’s condition is stabilized, I will also help.”
“It won’t be easy. You don’t have to help me with the cleaning. Please ask for mana.”
Watching Arisa speak as she rolls up her arms, the princess descends the stairs and naturally grabs her hand her.
“Now, wait. Arisa. Please explain. What happened to Mana?”
“Ah… It’s nothing special. Ceres-san and I are together. If we have time, we can always recover. Or maybe Venus puts a little effort into it.”
Arisa looked at herself with her strange eyes and said, so the princess swallowed her saliva for a moment and slowly let go of her hand.
“Mana did her best. Didn’t Queen Madolche say that she was originally disappointed with Mana’s magical power her? It seems that she had a disability that prevented her magical power from regenerating properly. She said It’ll stay like that.”
“If it’s external help, she’s talking about recovering with potions or something?”
“It’s like that. Or washing her body her in the spring that overflows with her mana her. Or meditating in a magic circle that helps restore her her natural mana her…”
Arisa, who finished her words, looked at her princess with a rather serious expression.
“First of all … I don’t know what the real story was, but the reason Mana could n’t manage her barrier her for a long time is because magic does n’t naturally regenerate.”
“Didn’t Arisa take her hand her and fix it easily?”
“That’s… I’m ashamed to say it myself, but I’m not as good as Venus, but I’m an excellent wizard enough to become the owner of the Mage Tower. The amount of magic power is high and regeneration is fast. But mana isn’t. It probably was too much to manage the barrier regularly.”
After saying her words, Arisa patted her hands and created her magic circle, creating a huge drop of water.
As soon as she saw that, Diana, who was listening to the conversation next to her, also began to use her blood magic to remove the undead corpses scattered on the ground.
“Then… Are you saying that Mana didn’t intentionally leave her barrier unattended?”
“I don’t know. She may have neglected it on purpose at first, or later she realized she was wrong and tried to repair her barrier, but it might have failed because her magic power her was poor.”
“Keuk… But looking at the magic circle drawn on the floor, it doesn’t seem like there’s no sense of responsibility at all.”
Venus, who had a complicated look on her face, thinking that Mana had various circumstances, stared at the magic circle made of blood for a long time.
“… Oh yeah, Venus has some work to do. He’d better be dressed as comfortable as possible.”
“Ah… Is that so? Actually, I said the other day that the method of restoring mana from the outside is the best.”
Hedone, who was sweeping the floor with a broom, noticed and said, Arisa smiled and nodded her head.
“That’s right, that’s it. To be honest, I don’t know if Mana can absorb her mana to the extent of being helped by our princess.”
“Hey, wait. Hedone, what are you talking about, Arisa? Absorbing magical power… Ah, now… Wait…”
The princess covered her crotch with her hands in surprise as she could figure out her answer her with just a little thought.
“No matter what! It’s not like you’re violating a friend who’s asleep in pain?! This must be Mana’s first time…?!”
Seeing the princess screaming at her, Arisa raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.
“What~ did you think of raping me? Venus is really the worst. You’re a total pervert? I just thought of mixing your semen with black tea and feeding it to Mana~?”
“Ah, Arisa!!”
At the cry of the reddened princess, Arisa let out a loud laugh and ran like the wind to the second floor where her Ceres had risen.
