Ruthless Hero
While Shiro was on the 5th level working on clothes for Anastasia and Kenji, I was enjoying a BBQ on the wooden deck of the log cabin that was our base.
"Yes! Mina-tan, the meat is cooked~!"
"Nya~"
I desperately continue to grill meat for Mina and Ori Hime.
Normally, Shiro would grill my meat, but Shiro, the all-purpose maid, goes to the upper levels to buy items.
Well, BBQ is a hobby for grown men,
Grilling meat isn't that hard, but...
However, when Shiro is around, I get spoiled, and instead of being a useless person, I end up becoming a useless Lich.
"Nya~"
"What? Is the meat too hot?
I see, Mina-tan had a cat tongue～."
I have a soft spot for the cute Mina-tan.
Because I'm a cat person.
However, in my previous life, I couldn't keep a cat because my mother was allergic to cats.
That's why I blew Mina-tan's meat and let it cool down.
"Kyui! Kyui!"
While I was cooling Mina-tan's meat, Ori Hime also started talking to me.
"What’s the matter, Ori Hime, is your meat hot too?
Weren't you from the scorching 29th level?"
"Kyui!"
"Eh? You mean, someone's coming?"
"Kyui!"
"There are no adventurers who can come to the 22nd level, so I guess they're the Demon King's subordinates!?"
"Kyui!"
"It’s the same person who came before!
That Surt guy, she didn't learn her lesson from before...”
"Kyui!"
"What! And there are 10,000 different people!"
"Kyui!"
Ori Hime happily said, [Yes!].
Why does Ori Hime look so happy?
Are you happy that some guests came?
Even though I call them guests, they are uninvited guests who come to kill us.
However, 10,000 enemies is an impossible game no matter how you look at it.
"Why isn't Shiro around at times like this!"
I can't help but scream.
I can't believe I feel so lonely without Shiro, who is always there...
"Kyui?"
Ori Hime looks at me strangely as I scream.
Ori Hime has a lot of leeway...
I had no choice but to postpone the BBQ and decided to stay in the log cabin until Shiro returned.
ーーーー
After a while, the voice of the female devil Surt was heard from outside the log cabin.
"I know you're there. Golden skeleton.
I've come to kill you!"
When I peeked through the window of the log cabin, I saw the female devil Surt with an indescribable smile on her face.
But this is...
I can't help but smile.
Indeed, Surt commands an army of 10,000.
She's definitely going to kill us.
For sure, countermeasures against Ori Hime's physical attacks are also being considered.
This is because the army of 10,000 monsters are all ghosts.
It's true that Ori Hime's attacks won't hit, but for someone like me who can use light attribute magic, it is an easy opponent.
I felt completely at ease and left the log cabin where I had been holed up.
And,
"Hahahaha! Surt! You came to kill me again!"
Like a hero, I said this to Surt and her 10,000-strong army.
"Who? Are you? The one I called was the golden skeleton, though?"
Surt is saying something strange.
"I'm that golden skeleton!"
"Aren’t you just a Lich?"
"It’s true that I look like a Lich, but on the inside, I'm the golden skeleton!"
Yes, my current appearance is that of a Lich, with only my strangely white teeth.
No one would know that I'm a Perfect Lich unless they have Appraisal.
Well, in reality, even if she has Appraisal, I falsify my status with my super concealment skill, so I look like an ordinary Lich...
Oh well.
If the other person misunderstands, I will just take advantage of it.
"That’s right, I’m just an ordinary Lich-san, the lowest subordinate of the golden skeleton!
I alone have no problem dealing with you! Gahahahahaha!"
"Are you in your right mind… Looking at this 10,000-strong army, how can you talk big?"
Surt's faint smile disappears.
Maybe she's angry.
Surt is seriously coming to kill me.
Even so, anyone would get angry if they were made fun of.
"What about it?"
However, I provoked her without worrying about such things.
"The Orichalcum slime's attacks would no longer work, you know?"
"Kakakaka! I'm a follower of the golden skeleton, the hero, you know?"
"As I said before, there is no way a dark-attribute skeleton can be a hero.
How long do I have to go along with your farce?"
"You won’t know if it’s a farce until you fight me, right?"
"You're no use to me! If the golden skeleton is not here, get the second in command, the Arachne!"
"Arachne-sama is also away on vacation!"
"You're really annoying.
Is there no one else I'd rather deal with?"
"I have a cat and a slime, though?"
I quickly return to the log cabin and bring Mina and Ori Hime.
"You're really underestimating me..."
It seems that the female devil Surt has lost her temper.
A dark red aura is floating around Surt.
"Ghost, there's no need to hold back. Kill that damn Lich!"
The female devil Surt gives orders to an army of 10,000 ghosts.
At the same time, the army of 10,000 ghosts attacked us all at once, emitting unpleasant cries.
Surt's strategy is perfect.
Ori Hime's physical attacks have no effect on ghosts.
However, even though I am a dark-attribute Lich, I am a light-attribute hero!
It is good for dealing with ghosts.
It is good to earn some delicious experience points.
From here it's my turn.
"Third rank light attribute magic, all heal!!"
The battle between me, Ori Hime, Mina VS Surt, and 10,000 ghosts has just begun.
