Chapter 3: and Skeleton Knights

I was judged a failure in Crystal of the Magic Eye, but now that I've found out that I also have magic power, my spirits are soaring.

Calling up ten skeletons at once, and even healing wounds that cause the internal organs to pop out, that's pretty high spec, right?

I was going to ride the momentum and traverse the forest with a skeleton escort, but the skeletons are kind of not keen on it.

''Could it be that you can't leave the land because you feel like an earthbound spirit?

No, I have no problem with you possessing Master Kent, but our strength is a bit...

No, no, no, I think the word 'follow' was weird, too.

What do you mean by 'strength'?

"If we continue on, we'll encounter ogres, saber tigers and the like, and in that case, we won't be able to protect Master Kent with our current strength.

Ummm ... is there any way I can help?

Once we're reinforced, it should be no problem for you.

'I see, enhanced, good, how can I help?'

''The strengthening of the monster is basically taking in other demon magic stones, right?''

Capturing a magical stone?

"How true, so I'll let you choose three of us, and then we'll take the rest of them and the goblin's magical stone and strengthen them.

'What? Is that a problem?

No problem.

What happens to the people who get the magic stone?

We're not people anymore, so we'll just disappear. 

No, no, no, no, no, that's a problem, that's a big problem.

No problem.

Reinhardt-san's crisp statement, as if he had made up his mind to do something, instead made me feel rebellious.

I won't forgive you for disappearing like cannibalism after we met!

When I said the indignation in my chest with words, Reinhardt-san nodded his head with a cackle, saying he understood.

''It's not cannibalism, Kent-sama,''

So, what does that mean...

"We are already wandering the earth, away from the ways of man, and our disappearance means that we will return to our proper form and ascend to heaven.

Isn't that a bad thing?

"Of course, master Kent, would you be so kind as to send us all home?

But then, shouldn't we send them all together?

"Those of us who remain will be honored to carry on the will of those who are gone and protect you.

If you ask me, it's true that skeletons are like ghosts wandering around this world.

Defeating skeletons is also the act of making them come to pass.

I decided to leave the three of us, Reinhardt-san, who was the squad leader, Basten-san, who was the squad leader, and Fred-san, and send everyone else to heaven.

We stood in front of the eight skeletons that were lined up.

If you look closely, they all had bones missing here and there, or missing arms.

I don't know if it was from last night's battle or from a battle long ago.

I don't know, but I do know that you answered my call and fought to protect me with wounds all over your body.

'Thank you all, thank you all for coming to my rescue, I'm, I'm...'

I felt as if the skeletons, who were supposed to be horrible demons by nature, were warmly watching over me, and I couldn't continue to speak as my tears welled up.

''Kent-sama, please don't cry, we are able to pass away thanks to Kent-sama.''

'Yes, if Master Kent hadn't called me, I'm sure I'd still be wandering around.

'Yes, yes, I'm sure your family and friends are waiting for you out there.

So just smile and send it off.

My eyes, clouded by tears, showed the smiles of the rugged and gentle men.

''Yes ... gentlemen, thank you so, so much, please, get some rest.''

I'm sure they must have tears and snotty, soggy faces, but I still put on my best smile and saw them off.

''So, squad leader, I'm going to leave you first, thank you for your help.

"Good luck to the troop leader, I mean, he's already dead, right?

'When you guys go over there, tell my family that I'll leave when I'm done protecting Master Kent for life.

"You did a favor for us, Miss Kent.

Oh, you got it!

I'll see you later.

Yeah. See you later.

I still don't know how to use necromancy, but please let them pass on to their family and friends, and as I said a heartfelt prayer, the eight skeletons were enveloped in a warm light and disappeared as sparkling particles.

After they left, eight crystal-clear magic stones were left behind.

After collecting the magic stones left behind by the skeletons and the magic stones recovered from the goblin's corpse, I immediately strengthened Reinhardt-san, Basten-san and Fred-san.

There are fifteen magic stones in total, so we'll have five of each of them.

By the way, how do we get the magic stones? Don't tell me you're going to take a skinny bite?

"Some demons will eat it, but with us, it's more like you press it against your chest and absorb it.

It's true that with a skeleton, there's no esophagus, and if it's a skeleton, it's too scary from a pictorial standpoint if it gets gnawed off.

'So, what am I supposed to do?

"I'm going to ask Master Kent to assist me with necromancy.

''Even if you call it an aid, I'm not even consciously using necromancy, so I don't know what to do about it...''

Well, we want them to imagine us after we're strong, don't we?

I see, when I say enhanced skeletons, the main thing is to strengthen the skeletal material, and the rest is to power up the movements and weapons.

If that's the case, it's better to hear about the three's fighting styles before they were born.

That's why I'm going to hear from the three of you, establish an image, and then reinforce it.

''Well then, I want to solidify the image, so let's strengthen them one by one.

Acknowledged, sir.

Mr. Reinhardt will go first.

"Oh, good luck with that.

Mr. Reinhardt was a power type who was known as a "strong arm" when he was alive.

So, let's go with a heavy, hard tungsten mirror finish.

How do I know that tungsten is heavy? That's - it's common sense in the second grade.

''Then I'll assist you with the imagery and you can start taking in the magic stones.

Okay, here we go.

As I began to take in the magic stone and sent the magic power and images inside my body, a black haze began to cover Reinhardt-san's body.

The haze, which was thin at first, gradually grew thicker and thicker, eventually becoming a dark color that seemed to swallow even the surrounding light, and even the purple electricity began to run inside, hey.......is it okay?

I was freaked out by how powerful it was, but I tried my best because I couldn't expose my pathetic appearance here as a summoner, even though I was a bit of a chick.

Soon, the dark-colored haze gathered as if it were condensing, and after the most flamboyant thunderbolt burned my vision, a metallic skeleton with a jet-black great sword on its back stood beneath me.

''This, this is........''

"He is three times more vicious than he was before he died...

'Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd be incontinent if we met on the street at night.

Even if you don't have any knowledge of martial arts or witchcraft, you can see something like an aura and feel bad at a glance.

It's so powerful that Basten, who has been with them for a long time, would be astonished.

Reinhardt-san seems to be checking his new body's condition by holding and opening his hands and turning his shoulders.

And then, when he picked up the large sword he was carrying on his back....

"Zuoyah!

Along with the spirit of the cleaver, he stepped towards the nearby large tree with such speed that his body appeared to be blurred, and he swung the great sword carried on his right shoulder at once.

Dogaaaaaa........

The trunk, which was so thick that three adults could barely hold it, disappeared.

"Wow........what was that?

"No, no, no, I'm sure Mr. Kent has helped you.

"Literally a monster...

The three of us were taken aback by Reinhardt's display of destruction.

''Buhahahahahaha, this body is wonderful!

Huh? Mr. Reinhardt, do you have a different character?

I look at Mr. Basten and Fred and they both shrug their shoulders and do a hand up pose.

The skeleton in the hand up pose, it's a nice touch, isn't it?

Oh, I get it, that's the ground, rather, you've been wearing the cat's head until now.

Are you reincarnated? As for Reinhardt-san, I've overdone a lot of things, Teppo.

But from now on, you're going to have to live in a different world, and you're going to have to protect me, a frail man, from now on, so I'm going to take it too far.

That's why I've continued to strengthen the other two.

I heard that Basten was a spear master who was also known as "Torrent Fire" before he died.

He was good at continuous stabbing, so I imagined light and hard titanium, so I could make it.

The sandblasted, matte titanium-colored skeleton also exploded out of the dark-colored haze, holding a jet-black spear.

"Shhhh!

The jet-black spear thrust made a large hole about a meter long in the large tree, and furthermore, it even pierced the trees that were standing behind it.

It was already too fast and I couldn't follow it with my eyes at all, but the spear extended? Or is it something shockwave like?

I don't know what it means to attack from a distance with a spear or something like that, but.......well, it's okay because we're on the same side.

I heard that Fred-san was a twin-sword wielder with the two names of 'Shunzakiri' before his death, so if I imagined a light and supple composite carbon fiber, I was able to make it.

A skeleton with a carbon black resin luster stood there with a naturalness that seemed to have been there from the beginning after the dark-colored haze left, carrying the jet-black twin swords.

I heard that magic is all about the power of imagining, but even so, necromancy, dark attribute magic, it's too great, right?

''Shh!''

The twin swords, swung out with a quiet spirit, cut through the huge rock nearby like tofu.

What are those swords and spears made of? An unknown substance? Dark matter?

The three of us together, the skeletons are happily showing off their swords and spears, it's too scary, but I don't want to make an enemy of them.

When I was thinking this, the three of them lined up side by side and came towards me.

And when they came in front of me, they bowed their knees together and showed their vassal's gratitude.

It was so powerful that I took an involuntary half-step back, and I hope you didn't notice that I took a half-step back.

"I am forever grateful for this amazing body and weapon.

"The three of us will follow Mr. Kent and defend you.

"upon our swords and spears.

I'm a man of little faith, but it's nice to meet you.

"Ha!

I mean, I'm desperately hungry after doing the three reinforcements, can you give me something to eat?

When I complained about my hunger, Reinhardt noticed something and looked up at the sky.

'Basten, just in time, a bird, finish it off!

Yes, sir! Shhhh!''

Basten thrusts his jet-black spear up towards the bird that flew in at the right time.

I mean, can it reach that high? And then it blew up, scattering the feathers.

Wow, it was amazing that it reached that high, but if it blows up, we can't eat it, right?

I'm sorry.

The power has been increased, but the adjustment is too lax, and I'm afraid that if I'm in a battle with a demon in the future, I'll get caught up in it and die quickly if I'm not careful.

I wonder if these people will even keep me in mind when they fight.

In the end, I gave up on the bird and had to fill my stomach with fruit again.

Oh, it's delicious, but it's kind of a vegetarian other world.

After this, we were begged by the three of us to name our weapons.

Ooh, my partner needs a name after all, right?

However, the names that come to the mind of the middle two are pretty much a given.

"Reinhardt's sword is Gram.

"Ha.

"Basten's spear is gaybolg.

"Ha.

Fred's twin swords are Levatine and Dahnslave.

"Haha.

When I named the weapons for them, the three of them grinned viciously as they held each weapon in their hands.

I mean, I'm even starting to recognize the expressions on the three of them, but I wonder if it's okay to get rid of that by getting used to it.
