155 – Master’s Happiness Is My Happiness (2)
The name of the village is Doomstone Village.
This is a very explicit name.
There are approximately 500 residents and about 100 households.
As soon as we entered the village, people guided us somewhere without asking.
Since the people who manage the cemetery are their families, they probably recognize outsiders right away.
The place we went to was the cemetery management office.
It is a place that actually functions as a village hall or city hall.
I had a short conversation with the manager, who had a somewhat blunt expression, and got straight to the point.
“What exactly is it?”
“At night, dead bodies come back alive.”
“It’s a corpse. What exactly was it in?”
After hearing the manager’s description, I tilted my head.
“They were intact bodies? So are they all recently buried?”
“No. The timing of the burials varied. For example, the mother of a resident who passed away 20 years ago came back.”
“That’s a bit strange.”
Looking back at Lucene, she was also confused and nodded her head.
“Whether it’s undead or something else, it’s impossible to stay healthy because the corpse is moving. If it was 20 years ago, it would be like a skeleton soldier now.”
“But it’s all true. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you the body we killed.”
The manager took us to the back of the building.
Ornette and Celestine were prevented from coming further, and Lucene and the two of them went to the place where the corpses were piled up.
Behind the building, dismembered and smashed bodies were piled on a pile of firewood.
The bodies were so healthy that it was safe to say they were alive until yesterday and then murdered.
No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t look like it had been buried in the ground for a long time.
“Lucene. “What do you think?”
“It’s necromancy, but it’s incredibly high-level necromancy.”
“You think so too, right?”
“Is it even a guess?”
“Yes.”
Both Lucene and her caretaker turned to look at me.
“It seems like my old subjugation team member was very bored.”

I told the guild members about the necromancer Ymer.
Necromancer Ymer.
Although his name is similar to that of Knight Commander Emeric, he is not brothers and is not related in any way.
The exact gender is unknown.
From noble mtl dot com
Because of the necromancers’ unique appearance, it is impossible to specify their gender.
Hair like seaweed stems and deep dark circles.
Skin as pale as a corpse, a small physique, and a strange voice that makes you unable to tell if it’s a man or a woman.
If you use evil necromancy for a long time, your body will be affected and slowly turn into a corpse.
It is an unfounded rumor that demon hunters become demons under the influence of demons, but necromancers are real.
Oh, just in case, this is a completely different case from Orleans.
Even though Orleans is a man, he has such a beautiful and elegant appearance that people are confused about his gender.
Anyway, that’s why we treated Ymer reluctantly throughout the punitive expedition.
A gloomy smile with an unpleasant body odor that cannot be clearly explained.
And when it comes time to use necromancy, he even looks overly excited.
He was a person who had nothing to like about him.
In particular, the necromancy he used was truly beyond imagination, crushing corpses.
To be more precise, various unformed corpses are crushed together and reassembled to create a new corpse.
Furthermore, he can even summon a crazy being called ‘Fresh Flesh’.
It’s literally something strange and repulsive-looking that’s full of flesh, and then you take the flesh little by little and make up for the missing parts of the corpse.
Really, looking at that in real life makes me so disgusted that I can’t stand it.
He growled darkly and said that he was the only necromancer on the continent who could summon ‘fresh flesh’.
And judging by the form of the corpse we just saw, this is his work.
“Then it actually made things easier.”
Lucene opened her mouth
“All we have to do is find him and kill him, right?”
“That’s right. The problem is where are you hiding? Necromancers are very good at hiding.”
“Hmm, okay…”
Lucene scratched his chin.
“Then do it this way. Tonight, while Ornette and Celestine defend the village, you and I can go around and search. He’ll be performing necromancy somewhere in the graveyard at night.”
“I guess it has to be that way.”
“What is this? It’s simple, right?”
Lucene smiled confidently.
“Well, then is it a living corpse that Ornette and I have to stop?”
Celestine was already shaking and stuttering.
“That’s right. But you won’t have to fight directly. Looking at it now, it looks like even the village vigilantes can stop it for now, so you just have to assist from behind.”
“I understand… !”
“Ornette, you can do it too, right?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Then let’s get ready.”
* * * * *
Celestine and Ornette planned tonight’s defensive operation with the village vigilante.
Ornette lays a trap at the entrance to the village to block it first, Celestine blocks it secondarily with a shield, and the village vigilantes block it thirdly.
Lucene and I looked around the cemetery while the sun was up.
All the graves of the dead bodies that had been awakened had been dug up, and there were also strange, unknown pieces of meat scattered here and there.
“This is a fragment of that guy called Fresh Meat.”
“It smells very disgusting.”
“Because it’s necromancy.”
The cemetery was endless.
Major Vivien said it was a little bigger than Shlessi, but when I actually walked around, it seemed like it was two or three times bigger.
I tried to use my blind eye to look for clues, but the stench of what had fallen from its fresh flesh was so unimaginable that I couldn’t find anything.
I was in a good mood and went back to the village to have dinner.
But no matter how much I look, I can’t see Celestine and Ornette.
“Where have they gone?”
“Director! Director!”
At that time, Celestine called us from the other side.
Guild members were gathered at an outdoor table in front of the cemetery management office.
Leana was also there.
There were various foods prepared on the table with a white tablecloth, and now I see that there is a smart guy waddling around and helping Ornette eat.
“Hey, smarty. “What are you doing here?”
“Inoo, ohm, master, has gone to the grave, and there is also a servant who does not worry about eating. , You mean,,,”
Before coming here, Smart asked Ornette to open the portal in the evening and call him.
It might have been another request, but since it involved witnessing a living corpse and wandering through graves, I was worried that Ornette might get upset and not be able to eat.
So she decided to bring the dishes she had made at the guild and feed Ornette.
I really wish I had someone like that.
“aah, manager.”
Then Celestine forced a spoonful of her food into my mouth.
Okay. Ornette, it’s not something to be jealous of.
There is someone who takes care of me like this.
“So what happened? Did you get any clues?”
In response to Leana’s question, I told her and Lucene’s guess earlier.
“I see. So the two of them hide somewhere in the cemetery at night, and only Celestine and Ornette remain here. Perhaps the necromancer already knows we’re here?”
“Maybe so. He’s so cunning that he might be hiding and watching us. But we should be able to find him.”
“It can’t be helped.” No matter how much of a necromancer we are, we won’t be able to raise all the corpses in this large cemetery, and since our power is overwhelming, won’t we get tired just from blocking it?”
“That’s a possibility. I’m thinking of taking a look at tonight’s trends and making my next plan.”
After finishing the meal, Leana cleaned up her table and returned to her guild.
Ddukduk decided not to go but to stay.
When I asked what on earth I was going to do here, I was told that I would be assisting Ornette.
“Wizards need a shield to block approaching enemies during battle. However,… Today ,,,,, ignorant ,,,,, kaljab, two, two ,,,,,,,,,,, ,,, to keep it ,,,,,,,, innoooooh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohm ,,, “
“There’s no need to do that… Just do it yourself. It doesn’t really matter whether you have it or not.”
As the sun began to set, Lucene and I entered the cemetery under Ornette’s invisibility magic.
Having settled down in a position where we could run anywhere, we each sat with our backs against the tombstones and watched the setting sun.
“Hey, Leon.”
“Why?”
“I’m asking out of curiosity, is it possible to create a body that doesn’t exist through necromancy?”
“Well? It’s probably possible. But even if you do that, it won’t be of any use if you don’t have a soul to put in there.”
“So, if you have a soul, does that mean you can be reborn in a completely different body?”
“In theory, yes. Why are you curious about that? Don’t you like your body?”
“That can’t be possible. After hearing about this strange thing called ‘fresh meat’, I suddenly wondered if something like that could be done.”
“I’ll ask him later when I catch him.”
While we were talking, the sun had completely set.
The ground was dug up and corpses arose all over the cemetery.
