Chapter 41 A Town Overrun by the Dead (1/2)
Under the twilight sky, me and Aaron proceeded along the less maintained path.
As the day became darker, my 《Night Vision》 automatically activated.
[Ho, you also have a night vision skill]
[Is it obvious?]
[I also have it too, so I can tell from the way you are moving.]
Certainly, when I looked closely, Aaron traversed over the rocks and fallen trees with ease. Anyways, it’s not like I’d seen all of them, but Aaron did have a lot of skills compared to other warriors. I knew that he had appraisal, concealment, and now a Night Vision skill. Judging with how he handled his holy sword, he most likely possessed Holy Sword mastery too.
Due to his Concealment skill, I couldn’t see his abilities. Such a mysterious old man.
Aaron noticed me staring and said.
[To be honest, I am rather anxious since I don’t really know how many skills you have. By any chance, can you lift the Concealment and show them to me?]
[As expected, but I can’t show it to Aaron just yet]
[Hmm, well said. Since we both have Concealment skill, it’ll be stupid to not hide one’s own skills.]
Even Aaron himself did not seem to be willing to show his skills to me. So it’s only fair.
As we went further westward, the road soon changed from soil to cobblestones. Through the cover of fog, I could see the sight of a castle with town built in its surroundings.
It used to be a lively town. I could tell from the residual feelings that still lingered on the buildings.
Aaron muttered the name of town in a nostalgic tone.
[I have returned to Hausen, once again]
[Hausen……]
[Yes, I once ruled this town. Before the Lich Lord took it away from me.]
I kinda knew it already due to semi-starving state…..that there was something unbearably tasty in that castle. The Gluttony skill kept urging me to go there, telling me to eat some monsters’ soul.
It’s like that, when it comes to the Gluttony skill, it felt like all my hard work had gone for naught.

Noticing me clutching my eye, Aaron asked in a worried tone.
[Does it hurt?]
[Yeah, but it’s alright]
[Once we entered the town, please don’t fight carelessly. The outer vicinity is guarded by Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Archers. It should be easy for you to handle the Skeleton Knight with the basic swordsmanship I have taught you. But you must be careful with the Skeleton Archer. They can attack beyond our range of attack. I may be able to block the attacks, but it might a little difficult for Fate]
Certainly, it’ll be troublesome trying to block arrows that come from every directions. However, taking out the origin of the arrow before that happened is much easier.
[I’ll handle the Skeleton Archers]
[How will you do that?]
Looking at my equipmentーーthe black sword, Aaron narrowed his eyes. There is no way it can be used for long-ranged attack, that’s what he thought, I assumed.
Rather than explaining about it, I chose to demonstrate it. I turned Greed into his bow form.
[This is how.]
[Ho, interesting weapon. So it can change its shape……what else it can turn into?]
[It can turn into a scythe]
[Beats me. This is the first time I ever see a weapon like that. Ahahaha, I’m glad to have been able to live this long. Very well, Fate will handle the skeleton archers. I’ll take care of the skeleton knights blocking our way]
With our roles decided, we approached the town gate. The gate was heavily damaged, so it’s easy for us to get in.
A monster appeared before I knew it.
Just as I passed through the gate, a skeleton knight sprang up and swung its sword at me.
Also, from the top of the wall that surrounded the town, skeleton archers had already nocked their bow and aimed at the both of us
