Volume 3 Chapter 41

The Next Day

I began filling in the hole in the wall of the village with earth an to demolish the structures within the city walls

Fixing the wall is to preventafter I send off the undead, and create a safe area within the forest The des is to ensure that I don’t miss any undead

Besides, they were all so worn out that they would cru two or three pillars anyway They were pretty much useless except for the undeads ould hide the them down isn’t really a hard decision to make

When I went to clear out the village, I started by investigating each house perfor a meot to was a dense collection of several small houses, so I took them down one by one, then I burned thee In the end, I decided to do the sae in the same way

The undead that carave sliht slis with the help of the earth slimes and the wind slimes

The village is a bit too big forby ured I could finish everything within a few days

As the operation gradually progressed, I eventually neared the li until eventually dusk came

“I guess I’ll end things here for the day… Oh, right!” [Ryouma]

Abruptly, I opened uitar that I haven’t used in a while Then I began , chantlessly casting dark ic as I play

It’s started to get dark, so I decided to stop the operation for the day, but just a little, I thought I’d use the re I coincidentally learned in the past

If you’re wondering why I suddenly thought of doing so like this noell it’s because I’ic, and yet I haven’t practiced it at all I did investigate the spell after learning it, but that’s about all I did

Funny thing about this spell is that its good part is the sa its area of effect

It has a wide area of effect as it works as long as you can hear it, but because of that…

“I can’t choose the target Which goes to mean that it’s an attack that doesn’t discriminate between foe or ally…” [Ryouma]

Fortunately, though, the slimes can’t hear, and the riic, so it doesn’t affect them

But if I were to use the skill at the wrong place, then there’s a possibility that Iby I also didn’t learn the spell because I need it, so because of all those reasons, I didn’t practice it at all I don’t know if I can do so it, but I at least hope to be able to reduce its area of effect There’s no one around here, so I ht as well take this opportunity to practice it to my heart’s content

As I focused, I began playing the guitar as I sang the the of an anime I had heard in my previous life

But not long after, I had to stop

“What’s going on!?” [Ryouma]

When I started to use Cursed Song, the apathetic undead in the surrounding area suddenly started hurrying towardthat, I immediately had the slimes prepare for battle as I pulled out my katana

“…Huh? They’re not co anymore?” [Ryouma]

When I stopped using Cursed Song, the undead suddenly lost all interest, and they scattered away

“Could it be?” [Ryouma]

I tried playing the guitar again as I used Cursed Song, and the undead all caain And when I stopped, they scattered away I tried playing the guitar again, singing nor, and they didn’t come, so in other words…

“The Cursed Song has an effect sirave slimes’ Attract Ghosts?” [Ryouma]

I unexpectedly discovered an effect of Cursed Song in an unlikely place But while it’s great that I discovered so neith this I won’t be able to practice here anymore…

“Guess I’ll have no choice but to practice in the abandonedon trips for a while once I get back anyway, so I guess I’ll take my time then” [Ryouma]

The undead suddenly rushi+ng toward o have supper, and rest now

Day 2 of the Operation

I performed a memorial service for the undead that we lured yesterday We also so out the section with many small houses before noon Then after lunch, we dealt with the houses that were relatively big Ast those, many were either workshops or storehouses

There were hosts in them too For example, there was this skeleton that’s probably a former black smith as he would lean over the hearth, and sainst a rusted anvil ceaselessly Those sort of ghosts never paid me attention even when I entered their workshop But because of the sounds they made, they were easy to find

After that, I entered the large houses When I did, I understood that there were two different types of large house

On one hand, you have the housing complexes that worked like apartments or inns And were probably inhabited by people who can fight as weapons and armors could be seen littered all over the place Moreover, there were also undead that could use the weapons quite well, so this hypothesis is probably true

Then on the other hand, you have the houses of the authorities These type of large houses had s compared to the others Moreover, there were also undead ould fight while sitting down on a chair as they

It’s not like the other undead listened to their orders either After all, there’s no one left who could listen to orders anyh, it also made me feel empty

After I finished deic power, so I decided to take a break I spent the break, practicing with several of the weapons I got frorandpa

The first thing I practiced as the ht shone on it It’s light and durable, butis its conductivity to ic battle technique with it really easy

Moreover, when I tried channeling h the spear to cast a fire ball, I found out that the ic power consumption became smaller This is supposed to be a spear, so it’s probably the ic power consumption

The next thing I tried out was the thin, black-colored, adaht look thin, but it’s made out of adamantite, so it’s a lot heavier than it seems

I’m not well-versed with rapiers, but I do know that you’re supposed to thrust with the it into the pillars of the house that I haven’t demolished yet When I did, the rapier easily pierced into a wooden pillar

After that, I tried piercing the wooden pillars and brick walls at full strength with ki reinforcement, and the rapier didn’t bend at all When I took it a step further, and swept the rapier against the wooden pillar, the pillar was hacked down despite the fact that I was only relying on pure strength Of course, the blade didn’t bend either… Were rapiers meant to be able to cut wooden pillars like this?

The last weapon I tested was the adamantite katana This one’s much more durable and sharp compared to the iron slime blade I normally use It’s undoubtedly an excellent sword Only, it’s quite heavy I can swing it no probleht, so it’s a bit worrying to use Frorohile I train myself to build up some muscles

The Third Day

By noon, ers had been held When I took a break, and walked around the village, I took the opportunity to search the area, and I ended up getting soot so

When I saw the pepper, I couldn’t help but raise e, and in fact, I have actually bought them many ti I use on a daily basis

Buying pepper from a store in the toill cause the food expenditures to rise several tiotten used to food without pepper And besides, I’ve already been living in this world for four years, so their common sense has already rubbed off on me to some extent

Sill, I’ve been using black pepper in my previous life normally, so I personally don’t think it’s that much of a luxury But even if I don’t consider black pepper itself to be a luxury, since one sold coin - and to add to that - if I were to actually use it as if I was still back inseveral ti expense Because of that it does feel so, but it seeal h

“I ht be able to solve et soood place” [Ryouma]

If you take too ain, so it’s ihly uproot the herbs I’ve heard this warning uild as they’ll tell you the sa you off

When I began harvesting, I was, at first, constantly warning myself to be careful, but when I sa ed my mind It’s because there were so hly eh Most likely, the ah for the whole year

Speaking of which, the plants were planted right next to the walls of the village, so it’s highly probable that the villagers were cultivating these And because they all died, no one was left to harvest the herbs, so in the end, it ended up this many As of now, there’s no one who knows that, so it’s a mystery
