Chapter 199: Surprisingly Overpowered

—–

At the end Julia would have to tell the Nobles that the corpses lost into turning into Undead could not be retrieved. They'll rage at her and some might even threaten on leaving the duchy, which would leave her without their taxes which are maintaining the whole place, but it is something she had to do because we overexerted ourselves and ended overdoing it a bit too much, and honestly I didn't wanted to give back the corpses I picked, they're my loot now!

I told her that if they wanted them back they had to pay a bit. I said it was a "rule of a necromancer" to always keep the spoils (corpses). She accepted the rule but said that the corpses were so weirdly shaped it would be a mess to even identify them all, so she said I could just keep them, it would save her the pain in the ass. She said she would give the excuse of all of them being "purified" by holy magic and sent to Valhalla, which is this world's people's heaven.

Nobles who barely fight think they'll go to Valhalla… They're pretty stupid, they're going straight to Helheim. Only warriors such as adventurers, soldiers, and knights that had lives with battle and honor would be able to get there. I know this because I am the Apostle of Hel and know some rules inherently somehow._.

It is said that the God of Light picks these warriors' souls and can even make them into servants if they show good potential, giving them his divine power and turning them into Heroic Spirits, who can later on become Heroic Gods. Although they're often called "Saints" and people pray for them as holy figures of history. Most of those are still somehow "alive" but in another sort of existence.

Anyways, that's not important right now. Julia had been containing herself through the entire night since then, and she said "let us discuss everything tomorrow" after we had dinner with her. The next morning, she quickly went a bit berserk, and began to ask a lot of questions. I had already assumed she would get like this after everything she saw, and that's when we tried to contain ourselves.

SLAM!

Julia hit the table while nervously sweating. She didn't seemed furious, she was way too shocked to the point she wasn't right in her mind. I had spied her using a small snake phantom clone and she barely managed to sleep through the night. She had black bags below her eyes and she was gritting her teeth angrily. She was still wearing her pajamas, and her beautiful hair was a mess.

"Marie! P-Please explain me just what… was that yesterday? I knew you were strong but… this strong?!" She asked shocked. "I am dead sure you're as strong as A-Rank Adventurers or beyond that at this point! If we count all your Undead Familiars, you're probably already beyond A-Rank all the way to S-Rank! You're… a one woman army! I think you could even defeat another nation with all those Undead and your wide-range destructive magic!"

"I-Is that so? I didn't realized I was so strong. I mostly always explored the wilderness and dungeons, monsters are pretty strong." I said. "I guess if I compare myself to human standards, things begin to get weird."

"T-That's… Have you only been battling monsters this entire time?" She asked.

If I tell her that any human I've fought and killed was most of the time righteous people trying to stop the insane ghost I am, she would freak out. So I better just go with this lie and tell her I've only been fighting monsters my entire life, saves me the trouble of explaining more by pretending I lack common sense, because I am well aware I am overpowered.

"Yeah. Right guys?" I asked. Lucifer, Emeraldine, and Partner nodded rapidly at my side. They didn't said a single word because they were terrible at lying unlike me. And my Deceiver Title was going to get some work now.

"I-I see… So you lack common sense…" She sighed. "I don't know if I have enough money to pay you for everything you did. That was an amazing work, you completely cleansed the entire cemetery and all! Marie, you're amazingly talented and strong, and all your friends too! Lucifer was so strong, handsome, and heroic too!"

"Handsome?" Wondered Lucifer, feeling a bit weirded out. He hasn't realized the girl kind of liked him a bit. Sadly, I don't like sharing my men, so he's mine and only mine, I am not giving him away to her. That also includes my cute elf and my beloved Vampiress. Am I a bit possessive? Maybe.

"And Emeraldine was so swift and incredible as well, your spirit magic was so wondrous, and that amazing staff you got… It slightly reminds me of the staff that priests carry, but I bet you got it inside a dungeon or something instead! It fits you so well, and you managed to trap Darkbound inside a magic formation, this was the first time I've ever seen one like that!" Said Julia, continuing to praise everybody.

"O-Of course, I got the staff from a dungeon… a faraway dungeon." Said Emeraldine nervously.

"And Partner! You were so incredible as you rushed in and fought so well! You can control Blood Magic too! I had never seen it before! Wasn't it a thing that only Vampires could have? Your spear is also very powerful looking, it would surely become a national treasure, is it a magical weapon?" Wondered Julia.

"It is an evolving weapon I once got in a dungeon, as I've slain monsters, it levels up automatically and has evolved once, so it grew pretty strong!" Said Partner, prideful of her beautiful spear.

"Y-Yeah, some Majin can use Blood Magic. I hope you don't discriminate." I said. "Not all Vampires used to be evil either… But don't worry, Partner is not a Vampire but might have the bloodline of one in her family that gave her blood magic."
