Chương 19: Chapter 19: The Crisis of E-Rantel
"It seems the only option now is to kill her and resurrect her. Afterward, I'll discuss how to handle Shalltear with Momonga," Peroroncino thought. "But can the NPCs of Nazarick be resurrected after death?"
"Let's do an experiment!" Peroroncino decided.
[Message]
"Yulia, how is it going with Momonga?"
"Lord Ainz and Nabe have found the location of the people who captured Nfirea. They are hiding in a graveyard to the west of E-Rantel."
"It seems they captured Nfirea to cast a 7th-tier spell, 'Army of the Dead.' Lord Ainz and Nabe have gone to the graveyard to rescue him."
"Lord Ainz told me to stay in E-Rantel and wait until the undead army breaks through the walls before making my move."
"I see. In that case, you should help the soldiers defend the city wall for now. There are a lot of witnesses, which will help raise our fame. Once the wall is breached and people begin fleeing, there will be no witnesses left."
Peroroncino still had a small trace of kindness in him and didn't want innocent civilians to be slaughtered by the invading undead.
"Understood!"
[High-level teleportation]
Peroroncino teleported back to the first floor of Nazarick and found a random named undead mage.
"What is your name?"
"Peroroncino-sama, my name is Iguva."
"I have a task for you."
"I will not hesitate to die for you."
"Good! Since you have that resolve, then follow me."
Peroroncino brought Igwa to the outskirts of E-Rantel.
"Your task is to infiltrate the undead army and attack the city. However, you need to wait until the undead army is nearly wiped out before making your move."
"Can you do it?"
"I will fulfill your command without fail."
"Good, go!"
Peroroncino teleported back to E-Rantel, returning to his humanoid form. "This is the perfect opportunity to level up using these skeleton soldiers," Peroroncino thought as he made his way to the city wall, where soldiers were using spears to fight off the advancing skeletons.
When the undead gathered in large numbers, they would transform into undead giants.
"Eye of Insight"
Undead Giant Level 30
A hybrid monster composed of many undead.
Strong attack, slow speed, low health, no skills.
"Level 30? What kind of monster is that?" the captain of the guards exclaimed in shock.
"Sword Shadow - Flowing Moon Slash"
Yulia instantly killed the undead giant with a single slash.
"Impressive!" Peroroncino used Eye of Insight to observe the soldiers and their captain. The soldiers were around levels 10-13, and the captain was level 16. They were much weaker than the knights Peroroncino had encountered in Carne Village. Those knights were at least as strong as the guard captain.
"It seems the kingdom is much weaker than the theocracy," Peroroncino thought.
"Such a powerful adventurer, but why is she only a copper-ranked one?"
"Forget about that. We must hold this line until reinforcements arrive. That black-armored warrior just bought us some valuable time."
"We must defend this line," the captain of the guards said. Yulia's presence had greatly increased the soldiers' strength. She moved swiftly across the city walls, appearing whenever a line of defense was breached to kill the skeletons climbing up.
Peroroncino also fought with full strength. The skeletons were helping him level up rapidly. With the additional experience-boosting items he had, Peroroncino's level quickly reached 10.
Soon, a large number of soldiers arrived at the barracks, including a commander. The soldiers quickly replaced the exhausted ones on the walls. With the large number of reinforcements, the undead no longer had the advantage in numbers and could not scale the walls as before.
Peroroncino's gaze shifted to the commander, and with Eye of Insight, he saw the following:
Slinka Level 25 Class: Knight **
Average strength, should not be a match for Iguva.
If he loses to Iguva, let Yulia step in."
The guard captain had told Slinka about Yulia's amazing performance on the walls, and Peroroncino had been mentioned as just a copper-ranked adventurer.
"Thank you for your assistance. I will reward you later, and I'll ask the Adventurers' Guild to raise your rank."
"You're mistaken. It's not just me, it's us," Yulia corrected.
At this moment, Slinka realized that Yulia seemed like Peroroncino's bodyguard, always standing just behind him.
"I apologize. I'll request that the Adventurers' Guild upgrade both of your ranks," Slinka said.
Peroroncino gave a subtle glance, and Yulia immediately understood.
"Then we'll leave it to you, General. We've been fighting for too long and need a rest."
"Alright! May I have your names?"
"Yulia."
"Chino."
"I'll remember them!"
Slinka watched Yulia's retreating figure, thinking, "Afterward, I'll try to pursue her. She's strong and beautiful, truly the perfect woman. It's a waste for her to be just a bodyguard to some rich young master."
He watched her until she disappeared from his view.
"Resting is so boring. Let's go see how Momonga is doing in his battle," Peroroncino suggested, leading Yulia down a dark alley.
Advanced Teleportation requires physical contact to transport another person. Thus, Perorochino reached out and touched Yulia's soft, bouncy...
"Advanced Teleportation."
The scene shifted, and Peroroncino and Yulia appeared in the graveyard. Nearby, Nabe was locked in combat with Khajiit.
"Battles between mages are so dull. I'll go check out the swordsman," Peroroncino said, heading toward Clementine.
"When did you two get here?!" Khajiit exclaimed, noticing the sudden appearance of Peroroncino and Yulia.
"Teleportation magic!" he shouted, realizing what had happened.
Seeing Yulia in the distance filled Khajiit with both terror and excitement—terror from the memory of almost being killed by her, and excitement at the prospect of revenge.
"Nabe-sama, may I assist?" Yulia asked.
"No need. Handling an insect like this is well within my ability," Nabe replied calmly.
"Foolish arrogance! I'll kill you and then that female swordsman. I'll make you pay tenfold for my lost arm!" Khajiit snarled.
Yulia ignored Khajiit and followed closely behind Peroroncino as he moved toward Clementine and Momonga.
Peroroncino took out two cloaks and handed one to Yulia.
"That woman seems to know you. To avoid interfering with her battle against Momonga, let's conceal our presence," he explained.
As he spoke, Peroroncino wrapped an arm around Yulia.
"You're always so thoughtful, Perorochino-sama," Yulia said softly.
"Does this feel like a D?" Perorochino teased.
"More like a C+," Yulia replied with a playful smile.
"If you like D, I'll work harder by drinking more milk... or maybe you could help me…"
With their cloaks of invisibility on, the two moved closer to where Momonga was fighting Clementine.
"Eye of Insight."Clementine
