The Extra's Indifference

Chapter 26 Stereotype Necromancer House

?In front of of me a dark colored house that looked like haunted house. It's window were broken, walls were stained with dark red substance that i assumed was dried blood and there were gravestones in the backyard of the house.

"Is this the house that you find it?" I asked to Aria, who was behind me.

"Yes master." Aria said.

Aria found this house in 2 days, which was pretty fast to be honest. I thought she would find it in a month or so.

"Good work." I said and patted Aria's head slowly.

She must worked hard to find this house quickly and expected some sort of praise or reward, so i gave her what she wanted.

Even though her expression didn't changed i knew that she was happy and if a pet/servant/slave is happy they would work harder than normal, which is more beneficial for me.

I looked at house once again. I didn't remembered the this house's details or the villain that lives in basement.

Villain was 3rd rate villain that Hywel encountered randomly. Villain specialized in necromancy and he was maximum 5th circle from what i remembered.

'This is too cliche, why is every necromancer lives in a shabby haunted houses filled with walking corpses, skeletons and banshees.'

My thought this was author was just warming the readers to the dark atmosphere which is to ready them to to Hywel's loved one's deaths which will happen in apocalypse arc, or else why would Hywel encounters to random shut-in necromancer.

Right now this world isn't filled with tragedy but novel's prominent tags were dark and tragedy, so i considered this highly possible.

"Do you know what is inside?" I asked to Aria.

"I don't know master. I didn't look inside, it felt dangerous." Aria answered.

"It is normal for you to feel the dangerous aura of the house. This house is filled with undeath which means we have a necromancer to deal with." I said.

"How do you know this master?" Aria asked with slightly curious tone.

"Aria are you blind my dear? Look at the gravestones, dried blood, broken windows this house is stereotype house of every necromancer." I said with 'isn't this obvious' expression.

"I understand, thank you for your explanation master." Aria said and bowed her head thankfully.

"Follow me closely and be ready, we are going to kill a necromancer." I said.

After that i transformed my Silent Scream to baseball bat because i thought that fighting against to undead with sharp weapon would be hard. Separating a neck is harder than smashing head.

Undeads aren't intelligent if the mage isn't professional necromancer that worked on theirs undead for several years or high circle mage.

This villain isn't high circle mage and he isn't scholar or researcher either, thus his undead are working with their instinct.

Undead's instincts is simply eat or devour living being. If he devour a soul, it is even better, but it is simply impossible for simple undead to devour someone's soul without help from it's master.

I entered the house quietly and looked around.

It inside was even worse than it's outside. There were tens of human, animal, mana beast corpses and skeletons scattered.

I spread my mana around of the corpses and inspected them.

"They are in sleeping state right now, but they will wake up if we get closer. We have to kill as much as possible before all of them wake up, even though they aren't strong, they aren't weak either. Crush or sever their head, don't attack their body. Their strength must be around [D] rank and below." I whispered quietly to Aria.

Aria nodded slowly and took a stance, she was wielding dual dagger. She insisted she was okay with dagger, hence i let her use it.

I started my chanting quietly and slowly.

I chanted because i thought that saving my mana was necessary.

Small ice arrows started to appear on top of the undeads heads and the undead who sensed this started to wake up. Thus i released the ice arrows to their head. Some of the undead died(?), no, couldn't wake up and some of them woke up with ice arrow that couldn't fully penetrate their skull.

I released my aura to 5 meters radius of me and waited for undead to come.

I swung my bat to my left and smashed a undead cat's skull, who was jumped towards to my face.

It was interesting undead to be honest, because in the novels that i read in my first life, there were only human, goblins and rat undeads, so seeing undead cat was interesting experience for me.

While i was thinking a claw attack from fully armored undead came to my face from side, which i narrowly dodged and swung my bat to its face.

Well because of my lack of strength, i couldn't smashed it's head. So i strengthened my muscles with mana and swung my bat one more time.

This time my attack was successful and its head sent away. Hence i let my guard down for a moment and headless undead clawed my chest.

My chest slashed from it's 3 claw and started to bleed slowly, my skin was tough because of my transformed skin, if not my injury might be fatal one instead of small.

I didn't think that there was a living armor type undead, i assumed that this undead was knight before becoming undead.

Killing a living armor is pretty easy, just separate their all of it's leg and arm parts after that smash the chest part which is core of this undead monster.

That is what i did. I swung my bat with my enchanted strength and separated its right arm and quickly pulled my bat to my right and blocked his left claw and kicked it's leg with my enchanted leg.

It's leg was separated its body too, thus it didn't couldn't balanced itself and fell down.

I swung my bat to it's below of arm and sent it's left arm away.

It's arms and 1 leg were separated, so i smashed its chest plate until it was death.

I looked around and found out that all of the high ranked undead were killed by Aria while i was fighting against to Living armor.

My fight against living armor lasted 30 seconds at most but Aria killed all of the high ranking ones with ease, it seemed to me that i needed to train more my fighting skills.

Afterwards we cleaned rest of the low rank undeads withing 5 minutes.

Aria looled around, confirmed that all of the undead was died(?) once again and come to my side.

She smashed a undead rat that biting my lower leg, which i didn't noticed because of its small size and my lack of pain. After that she took out a healing potion and poured on my chest injury.

"It will leave a scar master." Aria said with slight sadness in her voice and touched my injury which was healing fast rate.

"I don't care." I said.

"Why master didn't use any magic?" Aria asked.

"I thought that it is good place to train my close combat skills." I said.

"But if master gets more scars like this, master can't seduce someone with body with full of scar." Aria tried to change my mind with logical argument because she knew that i wouldn't change my mind with phrases like 'treasure your body more' or 'your body isn't tool'.

"From what i know, some ladies likes scars too." I said calmy.

"But master yo-" Aria tried to argue back but i put my finger to her lips to shut her up.

"But you don't have to worry about this my dear. Tell me when scars looks ugly than it's aesthetic, i will pay someone to remove it cleanly." I said and patted her head slowly.

Aria hesitantly wrapped her arms around of me. For a reason that i didn't understand, she needed to calm down, so i let her do what she wants while i patted her head.

'Did she afraid of undead? It is impossible, she killed them calmly. Well it's no use to think about it.'

After a minute or so i pushed her slightly and looked at her eyes.

"Did you calm down for a bit?" I asked.

"Yes master." Aria nodded slowly.

"Aren't you spoiled? Going for a hug when we have a job to do." I' complained' and ruffled her hair.

"You are correct master." Aria nodded slightly, her face was little bit red.

"Anyway let's go. We have a basement to clear and necromancer to kill." I said and made my towards to basement.
