"Filia, I only asked you to teach me how to become stronger, not to help me deal with my father," I said.
When I found a saint in the city and told him about Melordo's father, both the saint and Melordo behind me were shocked.
"I told you, eliminating undead mages is our undeniable responsibility. If we allow them to continue causing trouble, we will never have peace. Just think about it, your father didn't even spare his own wife. If we don't stop him, the next victim could be you, or any innocent person in this city. So we cannot let such a thing happen. Don't you agree, Your Holiness?"
"Ah... that's right," Melordo replied.
The saints beside us listened with surprise.
Although I am also a necromancer, I feel like I have a talent for being a charlatan.
"Well, Miss, although your strength is lacking, you have a heart similar to Yabber, one that advocates justice. Would you consider taking the church's qualification exam?"
"Yabber... Is Yabber also at the academy?"
"Oh? So you know Yabber... Wait, are you Fir's friend?"
"..."
Yes, I am. What do you want with me?
Of course, I wouldn't answer so foolishly.
"I... was his student before. And this person here is his sister," I quickly pointed to Oyado beside me.
Oyado looked at me strangely, then looked at the saint.
"Yes, what's the matter with my brother? But he disappeared a few days ago," she said.
"We know about that. This time we came to investigate the incident with Yabber. By the way, would you like to come with us and visit this young lady's house? But it's up to you, after all... we are going to eliminate the other party."
"We... will pass. We have something to do," I said, signaling to Melordo.
"That's right... It's better not to get involved in this kind of thing," Melordo added.
"I understand. This is our address. Come over if you have the chance. Yabber and Fir's sister would like to have a chat. Well, I'll take my leave now, we need to prepare," the saint said, bowing and leaving in a hurry.
"Let's go, Melordo. Let's go to your house before they do," I said.
"But why do you want to..." Melordo started to ask.
"Because the other party is an undead mage. I don't think we have much chance of defeating him on our own. So if we find saints, we'll have reinforcements, killing two birds with one stone."
"I see... But I still..."
"You want to take revenge on your own, right? Then believe in yourself. Let's go, if your father knows about the situation here, he won't just sit and wait. So we have to catch him off guard," I smiled and winked, then took Melordo's hand.
"Let's go."
--------------------------Break--------------------------
"Why do I feel like we're preparing for a dungeon run?" Aliyah suddenly remarked when we arrived at Melordo's doorstep.
I chuckled and looked at Aliyah.
"Then let's just consider him as a copy. I remember in Final Fantasy, either there was a copy fighting in a house or a duplicate created by magic. I think what we're fighting is the junior version, after all, other than you, none of us are level 50."
"Haha, true."
"But..."
As I said, I prepared my crossbow and spellbook.
"It seems like they know our intentions. It looks like we..."
I didn't say it casually, because by now, I could already sense the undead aura coming from behind the big door.
Even though I was in a different body now, I could still feel the dark magic. After all, I had used it before my body changed, and that feeling couldn't just be forgotten.
Melordo also silently took out her sword and spellbook, but for her, it wasn't as simple.
After all, she was not just facing an undead mage, but also her own father.
"Let's do it."
"Yes."
But I have to admit, among us, Aliyah and Oyado had the highest level of skills. Although I can use many practical spells, the enemy is an undead mage, and I don't know much about the dark magic, so it's more difficult for me.
At this moment, I remembered Fran. Among us, Fran is the most familiar with dark magic, and she is also my teacher in dark magic.
Unfortunately... I have no idea where she is now.
However...
Just as we were about to reach for the doorknob, suddenly, the surrounding space twisted violently.
I quickly let go, but it was too late. The surrounding space had already undergone a drastic change, and it looked like we were surrounded by something that resembled dark glass from all sides.
I reached out and touched it, it seemed like glass, but when I knocked on it, there was no sound.
"It seems like... they really want us to go in and fight with them."
After seeing that Aliyah used all her strength to chop at the glass without any response, I had to address everyone.
"It seems like this thing makes us invisible to the people outside. Are you all ready?"
"Um, can I ask a question?"
Finally, Melordo asked.
"Why aren't you all afraid?"
"Well~"
I smiled and patted her shoulder.
"Because worrying all the time will give you wrinkles, so you have to relax~"
"Huh?"
With a puzzled expression, I pushed open the door, darkness seeped out from inside.
"Let's go!"
