Chapter 1909: Ship Party 29

At any rate, after frantic explanations, I managed to clear up Rachel-san's misunderstanding.

[I see, so that's what she meant...... Since I don't have any blood, I didn't consider that she might be talking about blood.]

[Ahh, come to think of it, Rache-san is a Living Doll, right? Is it like a deceased person's soul residing in a doll?]

[Indeed, there are such examples. Or rather, Living Dolls are typically born through such a process. In my case, you could say I was artificially created...... In my case, my husband created me.]

[I've heard of that. Necromancers can alter their own magic power to artificially create Dead Souls and produced Undead soldiers...... ]

Nodding at Rachel-san's words, Noir-san joins the conversation. In the first place though, I don't really know much about Undead-related Demons. Among those I know, it seems that Sechs and Isis-san fall into that category, but even though they're both considered Undead, I feel that Isis-san and Sechs-san are quite different in nature.

Now that she mentioned it, I can see her point. I've felt this before, but Isis-san seems to have a different vibe compared to Sechs-san or Rachel-san. When described as a Spirit embodying the concept of death, it certainly seems to fit.

Nodding as I listen to Noir-san's supplementary information, it's true that the Necromancers I know of are just Sechs-san and Rasal-san, both of whom are Peak Count-ranks.

If even Noir-san, who presumably meets various powerful people as an Adventurer, doesn't know any Necromancers, then Necromancy must be that challenging of a magic.

[......This is something I've only heard about from my husband, but Rasal Marfik-sama, who joined Death King-sama's camp, conducted research on negative magic power, using a special circulation method to generate tenfold negative magic power from just one unit of it. After many years of research, Rasal-sama had completed it, which gained praise from my husband, saying that "the pinnacle of Necromancy is undoubtedly Rasal".]

Now that she mentioned it, as was the case at the afterparty of the Harmonic Symphony, Sechs-san consistently said that Rasal-san is the best Necromancer in the Demon Realm, and for even Sechs-san, who is known as the Great Sage of the Dead, to honestly admit his defeat, I guess Rasal-san's Necromancy skills is so top-notch.

Even so, it's interesting to hear about things like this that I had never heard of before. In a sense, this may be the best part of the conversations at a party with a variety of people.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Her kneeling down in a dogeza right from the start had left quite the impression on me, making me think of her as just a cocky necromancer, but as the story progresses, her competence becomes more and more apparent. She's so competent of a subordinate, doing this and that, that I kinda think of her as the most subordinate-like among the Death King's subordinates.]
