Chapter 180: A parent's request

Apparently, I still have a lot to learn, but now is not the time to think about any of this, I am surprised by the revelations of what happened here twenty years ago, but the subject is not over. 

"(I need to know why this skeleton wanted me to come here, from what he said all he does is think about his daughter, does he want me to help her in any way?)" (I) 

"Your story is amazing and I'm sorry for your losses, but you still haven't made it clear why you brought me here."  (I) 

Ivan turns his skeletal head to the glass cylinder where his daughter must be before turning to me again with a powerful red flame in place of his eye sockets. 

"I managed to feel in the last few days a strange Aura, each time a small trace of that Aura would reach this place that is directly under the ballroom and enter my daughter's body" (Ivan) 

"I noticed that when that happened her hand would move."  (Ivan) 

"Over the days I used my own Aura to find the source of that strange Aura, that's when I came to you."  (Ivan) 

"But how could I get in touch with you without leaving this secret room, after all, I still need to stay here to power the magic circle or else my daughter will die and become an Undead just like me and I don't know if she'll make it keep your personality as I did."  (Ivan) 

"It was at this point that I remembered a spell that one of my wives was studying, I tried to use my Aura to direct telepathic magic on you while you were sleeping, but the connection was irregular and I could barely speak."  (Ivan) 

"I thought it was a nightmare at first, so many horrible things happening around me in the dream."  (I) 

"I apologize for that, it seems that fragments of my memories were sent to you as a result of the telepathic magic I used."  (Ivan) 

"At first I wanted to come all the way here to rip your head off and break every bone in your body, but since you didn't do it on purpose I'll let it go this time."  (I) 

"You are a very brutal child saying something so violent in such calm."  (Ivan) 

"Don't be fooled by my appearance, I'm not a child!"  (I) 

"Back to the subject, so you want me to help your daughter?"  (I) 

"Yeah, that's the only thing she's moved her body since that day, so that's my only hope."  (Ivan) 

"It won't be free, I swear I will serve you, so please, I beg you, save my daughter."  (Ivan) 

It's horrible to see a skeleton beg for something, but I don't know what to do, several monster parts were used in the Homunculus' body as the skeleton Ivan said, if I use my power on her I won't know what she will turn into. 

Having an Undead serving me can also be dangerous, it's already a big problem to hide a Demon and four Vampires, if I also have to hide an Undead I'll end up giving them all, unlike the others who at least have human appearances, Ivan is a skeleton, I can't hide him like that. 

"I really don't know what to do."  (I) 

"You're right in believing that I have a chance to help your daughter, but I don't know what she can become as her body is made of monster parts."  (I) 

"You seem like someone strong, but having you serve me is going to get me in more trouble than helping, I can't walk a skeleton around town after all."  (I) 

"If the problem is my appearance, then this is easy to fix."  (Ivan) 

As he said this Ivan's appearance begins to change, and energy leaves his bones and spreads throughout his body, then this greenish energy begins to take the form of a middle-aged man with a refined appearance and the body of an Olympic athlete. 

The problem is that this energy that has taken this form is kind of transparent, so I can see through it and see its entire skeleton. 

"I'm not finished yet."  (Ivan) 

I see mana coming out of his body now and sticking to the outer layer of greenish energy, the colors of the mana begin to change to form a half-transparent illusion in colors like Ivan's body shape. 

"< Materialization of Mana >" (Ivan) 

Soon the illusion ceases to be transparent and becomes more realistic, it seems as if he has come back to life. 

"How did you do it?"  (I) 

"It's not that difficult, the Undead asks to learn a skill called a spectral body, this skill gives us a body that mimics the flesh, organs, skin, and hair of when we were alive, but they don't have a true function and are made of my energy, so they are another layer of defense for me."  (Ivan) 

"After that, I used non-elemental magic to form an illusion that I placed on the surface of my spectral body, then I used materialization magic to make the illusion real."  (Ivan) 

"It makes me spend a lot of mana, but makes an excellent cover."  (Ivan) 

"Let me test it."  (I) 

I used my detection skills on him, but two of them didn't detect anything. 

"I can't detect blood or life energy from you, that's still too risky."  (I) 

"I'm a skeleton so I don't have blood or life energy."  (Ivan) 

"But if I use a concealment item, I might be able to hide from these kinds of detection skills."  (Ivan)

What he says makes sense, but there are already a lot of people in my group, apart from an Alchemist I don't need more people. 

"I really don't need any more servants or servants, nor is there anything I need other than looking for an Alchemist."  (I) 

"Huh!?"  (Ivan) 

Ivan's eyes start to burn even more intensely for some reason. 

"You said you're looking for an Alchemist?"  (Ivan) 

"Yes."  (I) 

"Hahahahah!"  (Ivan) 

For some reason he started laughing out of nowhere, I got confused and looked at the rest of my group, but it seems they didn't understand either. 

"Why are you laughing?"  (I) 

"Excellent, if you are looking for an Alchemist, then the most talented of Alchemists is right in front of you."  (Ivan) 

"Do you know alchemy?"  (I) 

"I don't, my daughter, me and my wives taught her many things, one of my wives is what you would call a Combat Alchemist, she taught our daughter everything she knew."  (Ivan) 

"She learned alchemy faster than anything else, my wife and even the master of the Alchemist Guild told her she was an alchemy genius."  (Ivan) 

"If you help her then you'll have me and her working for you, isn't that a great deal?"  (Ivan) 

"..." (I) 

What he said is really very tempting, someone called an alchemy genius and who was trained by a Combat Alchemist, I turn to the rest of my group and ask. 

"What do you think?"  (I) 

"That's fine with me, from what I found out Prince Ivan was very strong on the battlefield and if his daughter is that good at alchemy then it's really worth having them join our group."  (Kira) 

"I don't feel any kind of malice coming from him even though he's an Undead, so I guess it's okay."  (Byakko) 

"Do it soon master, I'm tired of waiting, I was supposed to be enjoying this day and not being in a dusty basement."  (Layla) 

"I and my sister will agree with whatever decision you make, Dad."  (Irius) 

"It could save us a search for a good Alchemist."  (Érica) 

"Then I think it's already decided." (I) 

"I will help you and your daughter Prince Ivan."  (I) 

"Please just call me Ivan and this is my daughter Lyra."  (Ivan) 

That won't make me look for an Alchemist anymore, I was thinking about saving some money and trying to find one at the slave shop, but I don't think I'll have to worry about that anymore. 

I just hope that decision won't cause me any problems in the future. 

"(I think I'll get some powerful concealment item for Ivan and his daughter, I can also use the concealment mark on both of them later.)" (I) 

I was already planning how to hide them the best way, but I realized that before that I have to take care of them, I can't rush things, I have to do things in order. 

"I'm going to use my ability on you and your daughter, so get ready."  (I) 

"I'm ready."  (Ivan) 

"Before I start, let me take a question first, how are you going to get your daughter out of that cylinder later?"  (I) 

"The cylinder has a spell that will open the moment she wakes up, so it's okay."  (Ivan) 

"Alright then, the others can back off and Ivan, try not to resist my Auras and abilities."  (I) 

"I don't know what you're going to do, but I've already made a promise so I'll keep it to the end."  (Ivan) 

I activate my [ Aura of Chaos: 4 ], [ Aura of Judgment: 4 ], and [ Blood Servant: 3 ] at the same time.
