“Anti-curse!”
I broke the curse that the guild leader was subjected to.
“Extra Heal!”
Then I healed his wound with healing magic.
“That should do.”
“Oh, he is really cured…… As expected, with you here, everything can be managed.”
Sigh. I can’t do it like before after all. Both physically and magically, I’m still far from my level in my previous life and there’s a lot of magic that I can’t use. Fortunately, I was able to use Extra Heal without the assistance of my staff.
“I’ll ask the guild leader about the details of the situation after he wakes up…… However, I still can’t figure it out. There has been no movement since then. It’s so quiet there that I can’t believe it was occupied by undead.”
Gain looked solemly at the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Aren’t they resting during the day because they are undead?”
“Hmm. Then why don’t we get in there now?”
It is true that the undead are vulnerable to sunlight. As a result, their daytime activity tended to slow down. But that is not the case with a high-ranking undead.
As I am thinking about that, it suddenly became dark outside the window.
“W-what is this? It suddenly it got dark……?”
“T-this…… this is a lie, right!? The sun…… it is disappearing!?”
The time is before noon. The sun, which was about to rise to its highest point, hides itself as if swallowed by darkness.
“This is…… It’s unusual. The magic of creating the night—the Night Wall.”
Time did not advance on its own, nor did the sun disappear. It is a magic that creates a temporary night by obscuring the sun with darkness. It is a high-level dark magic that requires a lot of magical power. I don’t know who used it, but it turned the area into an environment where the undead could actively move.
“……It’s their doing!”
“……There seems to be some movement.”
However, the report that came after a while was not from the Adventurer’s Guild.
“I-it’s bad! A horde of undead is attacking from outside the city!”
“Whaaat!?”
“Outside the city? Not from the guild?”
Since I couldn’t quite understand the situation just from that report, I decided to jump out the window and use flight magic to check the situation from the sky.
“Oh-, that’s quite a number.”
Looking out of the city from the sky, I saw a swarm of undead, probably over 10,000 in number, marching towards us from the northern forest. People who were trying to flee the city are turning back in a hurry.
I returned to the building.
“There were more than 10,000 of them, zombies, skeletons, and living armor.”
“T-ten thousand!?”
“Hey, stop joking at a time like this….uh, Reus-kun?”
“You’re not kidding, are you?”
“T-then…… this is terrible, isn’t it?”
Just as Emily was rendered speechless, there was movement inside the Adventurer’s Guild. One after another, undead criminals emerged from the building.
“It’s a horde of undead from the inside and outside……”
“Master, what should we do?”
Perhaps the undead in the city are few but powerful, and the undead approaching from the outside are not very strong, but they are numerous.
“We’ll probably have no choice but to split our forces into two….…”
“W-we don’t have that kind of strength, do we?”
Gain and Emily panicked. After some hesitation, I suggested.
“Hmm…… Then leave the undead outside to me.”
If this happens, it can’t be helped that I will stand out a little. But if that number of undead were to enter the city, there would be a lot of deaths.
“Master alone?”
“Yes. So I’ll leave this to you two.”
“Will you be okay? No, that’s stupid for me to ask.”
So, in order to destroy the hordes of undead that are coming from outside, I fly out of the building alone. At the same time, I took out Bahamut from my subspace.
“If there were other people, they would be a hindrance.”
『Masteeeeeer! Great!』
“Poito”
『Eh?』
Seeing the approaching hordes of undead, I threw Bahamut with all my might.
“I asked you to do the rest, Bahamut! Go on rampage in your original form!”
If there were other people, they would get caught and surely die.
