Chapter 108 (2/2)

“Down… levels… stairway…” She grabbed her head for a moment. “Where… no, we’re in Master’s Mansion. I must protect Master’s Mansion!

“Oi… calm down a moment!” I help up my hands. “Clearly, this is a level to a dungeon. Calm down a moment.”

The girl seemed to be growing more upset by the second, and telling her to calm down was remarkably not the thing she wanted to hear.

“You… you’re trying to trick me!” She suddenly screamed. “You want to make Master punish me!”

“Calm down… I just want to leave, okay? Take me to the entrance to the dungeon, okay?”

“It’s not a dungeon!” She shouted. “This is Master’s home! This is my home! I’m Master’s Slave. I’ve always been Master’s Slave. No one will take him away. Not you! Not her! No one!”

“Her?”

Her body rose up in the air, starting to glow with some scary looking light. Ah, crap, I triggered the ghost! The knight that completely schooled me was torn to shreds by this elf! Was I seriously going to die now?

She raised her hands up and a powerful blade of wind shot out. I couldn’t see it clearly, but I could see enough to know I needed to leap out of the way.

“Die!” She screeched. “You won’t keep me from Master!”

“St-stop!” I cried out, “You saved me earlier, remember?”

“Th-that was a mistake!” She looked uncertain for a second but then shook her head. “Enough of this! It’s time for you to leave this mansion! If you won’t walk out the door, then you’ll leave in pieces!”

She raised her hands up again. I was completely clueless about what I could do to stop this. This slave girl ghost had gone from helpful to murderous with only a few words! Was there anything I could do?
