CH 67

The abandoned factory was located in a quiet place where the outer wall of the royal capital could be seen, away from the residential area of the northeast district.

“Oh. . . this building just became a sewing factory six months ago, but it’s already abandoned.”

Ursch-kun hid his voice and looked up at the factory. Hearing that, Alice-chan gently looked into the factory and trembled with tearful eyes.

“Wow. . . I’m afraid there’s going to be a ghost.”

“. . . . . It’s okay. Alice. . . . It’s not ghosts that come out, it’s undead.”

“Then it’s okay. If it’s undead, I can do it.”

Alice-chan immediately cheered up from Chris-sama’s comfort. . . . Is that okay?

Alice-chan doesn’t like ghosts that can’t be bombed. But, Alice-chan. There may be catacombs, so I think it’s too early to be relieved and assume that there will be no ghosts. They might come out.

“Well, Isabella. How does it look underground?”

I replied to Ursch-kun’s words while checking the state of the ground with [Lust].

“It’s perfect. Below this looks like the deepest hall. The inside is lit, so it’s easy to see and helpful. It looks like they’re doing something like withdrawal work downstairs now. There are captive people around there, including Geese and Brian. A total of five people. Five color people have been caught.”

“Maybe he was planning to leave the Royal Capital while it was in a mess with the undead commotion, but it’s quite slow. They had to complete the withdrawal work after they threw the undead into the capital. Moreover, they got greedy and even kidnapped more people and increased their luggage, so they can’t even look at it.”

While Ursch-kun was talking about the magic organization, I looked for the best place while watching the situation below.

When I was ready, I had Ursch-kun, Chris-sama, and Alice-chan wear three [Anti-Soul Necklaces].

To be honest, it’s a dangerous item that I don’t want to know the materials of, but as long as I know the strength of the Colors Collector in the game, there is nothing more effective as an item to protect them. We wrap matching bandanas over top so that they won’t see the necklaces. In addition, I asked them to layer trowels, resistance, mitigation, and reinforcement items.

After I made sure everything was ready, Ursch-kun whispered,

“Everyone, the plan is in your heads, right?”

And the three of us nodded back.

“Well then. . . Let’s go!! Get Ready!

With those words, Alice-chan pierced her huge fork into the ground, and when she passed magic through it, a golden magic circle about 3 meters in diameter spread at our feet. As soon as the magic circle was completed, Ursch-kun issued an order.

“Go!!”

“Destroy!!”

At our feet, the magic circle emitted a flash, and the bombing magic exploded downward. The floor collapsed with the explosion, and the four of us fell down. While falling along with the ground, the air was mixed with earth and smoke, and this time I activated the purification magic.

“Well, ‘Activate purification only for things that will cause trouble for the people in the royal capital’!!”

I know it’s a messy spell, but Ursch-kun said that at my level it’s probably possible, so I’ll believe it and go with this. The reason why everything can’t be purified is that there is a risk of purifying the necessary sealing equipment and even demon beasts and monsters that have been tamed by summoners.

In the current situation where we were falling along with the blown ground, we arrived at the desired place and landed without being able to confirm whether it was effective or not. At that time, I didn’t forget to catch Ursch-kun.

Alice-chan and Chris-sama can land on there own. Until I saw Alice-chan and the others fighting zombies, I was worried because they didn’t have enough combat experience, but the two people who were trained by the queen seem to know how to fight better than I do. Far from being worried, it’s reassuring.

When Ursch-kun jumped down as soon as we landed, he and Chris-sama hid in the smoke. They slipped past the magicians, who couldn’t understand the situation and were running back and forth in a panic, and ran to the captive people.

As soon as he arrived, Ursch-kun assembled a defensive wall around the captives and himself, and put up a barrier to strengthen the underground walls so that the space wouldn’t collapse.

After confirming that, Alice-chan expanded [Floating Bomb] over her head. It takes 13 seconds for [Bomb Bullet] to be released from [Floating Bomb]. In the meantime, I distracted the magicians so that they wouldn’t notice the [Floating Bomb] and shoot it down. While distracting, I put a shield on the heads of the people wearing pig masks. We will be in trouble if the MP from [Bomb Bullet] is absorbed and used against us.

But what does it mean that there are five people wearing masks?

Which one is Viscount Hillson?

Moreover, the pig mask is supposed to be undead, but it hasn’t been purified.

Oh. . . . the pig mask itself won’t, ’cause trouble for the people in the royal capital’, and ‘purification magic’ is ‘attack magic’ against the pig mask, so it will be absorbed into MP. . .

That pig mask!! It’s too troublesome!!

The moment I screamed that in my heart, [Floating Bomb] was activated.

It has probably only been about three minutes since Alice-chan collapsed the ground.

A Sengoku daimyo said, like a gale and wind, invading it like fire, the way to victory is to proceed quickly at a level where the opponent can’t get ready!

With this, the magicians other than the troublesome ones wearing pig masks should drop out to some extent. They’re probably wearing defensive items like Lucy and the magicians who were with her, but there’s no doubt that they won’t be able to fight.

When I was watching [Bomb Bullet] pouring down, my body was blown to the side and crashed into the wall. For a moment, I was stuck to the wall due to the impact, but my body fell down according to gravity. And I landed beautifully.

When I looked back in search of the cause of my body being blown aside, there was a tall man wearing a pig mask standing there. I made eye contact with the man through the mask.

Before I blinked, the man was right in front of me.

I kicked off the ground immediately and threw two knives at the man’s back while jumping over him. The man kicked down the wall where I was standing, along with the defensive wall that Ursch-kun put up, caught the knife I threw behind him and threw it back at me. While repelling the knife by rotating the [Giant Knife], I jumped back and screamed while keeping a distance from the man.

“Alice-chan!! Withdraw into the defensive wall!!”

“Ahhhhh!! It’s impossible!! All the magicians I just defeated with [Floating Bomb] have turned into the undead with the necklaces!!”

At Alice-chan’s words, I changed my vision to [Clairvoyant] without taking my eyes off the man and looked around. The magicians who changed into ‘unconscious undead’ were getting up one after another due to the inferior [Anti-Soul Necklace] items.

More men in pig masks have appeared and the magicians turned into zombies. I think Isabella used up all of her good luck when Ursch instantly agreed to marry her. Now she keeps getting into bad situations.
