"So you're 'also' a necromancer?"
"Yes, yes, tell your skeleton to stop drawing for now. If it damages the magic circle, even I won't be able to fix it."
The skeleton stood on one leg in front of Ouyang Qianjin, arms outstretched, and spoke cautiously.
no way.
With his current strength, he is simply not strong enough to contend with this girl.
So all I could do was offer kind words of advice.
"Is that so? Even you can't repair your own magic circle?"
Ouyang Qianjin looked at the other person strangely.
The room is not big.
The kind where you can see the whole thing at a glance.
There were no doors or windows around.
In other words, someone sealed it off after entering.
Or perhaps these things weren't there when this place was built, and people relied entirely on teleportation magic to get in and out.
In other words, the magic circle here was very likely drawn by himself.
Now this guy is actually saying that he can't even repair the magic circle he drew?
That's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?
"Didn't you draw this magic circle?"
Clearly, Ouyang Qianjin found it strange and was also very curious.
"I drew it, or rather, it should be my drawing."
"Hmm? Speak like a human."
"I am a skeleton, how can I speak human language?"
"ah?"
Ouyang Qianjin raised her hand with a displeased expression, and the scorching phosphorescent fire in her hand immediately emerged.
The skeleton was sweating profusely from looking at it.
Good heavens, it's bone-scorching phosphorescent fire! If this thing burned me, even without flesh and blood and pain receptors, it would still hurt a lot, right?
After all, this thing is a flame that burns the soul, and it's quite different from ordinary flames.
"I have amnesia, so I don't remember."
One word: from the heart.
The skull perfectly conveys the meaning of this word.
He immediately began speaking in human language that Miss Ouyang could understand.
"Amnesia? As a skeleton, as someone whose only remaining part is a soul and a flickering soul flame, how could you possibly lose your memory?"
Ouyang Qianjin was speechless.
Although this world can no longer be judged by the common sense of the past.
But what if a skeleton, which has no brain and no memory area, also suffers from amnesia?
That's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?
"Yes, I have amnesia, but it's different from ordinary amnesia. My soul is missing a lot. Look, isn't there a soul transformation feature on the magic circle?"
As he spoke, the skeleton pointed somewhat aggrievedly to a circle on the ground.
"...Then what do you remember?"
Ouyang Qianjin closed her eyes, wanting to rub the bridge of her nose.
But since there are outsiders present, I have to put on a show.
So she abandoned that 'unladylike' action and asked the skeleton.
"Remember to drive away anyone who breaks in. That's all. I figured out the magic circle myself later when I had nothing else to do, so I lay on the ground and studied it again."
All right……
Ouyang Qianjin had to admit that her self-control was not yet up to par.
For some reason, I always have an irresistible urge to rush up and beat up this skeleton when I'm facing it.
However, not knowing who they are, having been trapped here for an unknown period of time, all they can do every day is lie on the ground studying these magic circles.
So pitiful, so very pitiful.
But that's not a reason not to hit him.
if you can……
"You should at least know your name, right?"
Ouyang Qianjin's lips twitched as she asked pitifully.
"Good question! Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you."
When he saw that Miss Ouyang was asking about his identity, he immediately perked up.
He put his hands on his hips—or rather, on his pelvis—and tilted his head back, speaking with great enthusiasm.
"I am a citizen of the great Colm, the guardian of Arina, the pioneer of Stardust, the destroyer of the Blood Plains, Earl of Wetlands, the greatest necromancer Hillman."
"Oh, really? That's a long title."
After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Ouyang Qianjin nodded indifferently.
After all, you can't expect her to know what Colm is, what Arenau is, or what Stardust is.
But she had heard of the Blood Plains.
Didn't we already know from Sebastian that when he was still alive, he was going to Blood Plains to hunt down some necromancer?
It must be this 'Destroyer of the Blood Plains', Professor Hillman.
"Hello, I am a patient in the inpatient department of the Third Hospital, the one who is missing a soul, the Skeleton Lord, one of the five great lords in the world, the number one person on the world rankings, the holder of the Undead Calamity, the Lord of Whale State, and the Demon Night Queen Ouyang Qianjin."
So, you have more titles than me, right?
Forget about this and that, we can't let this guy lose in terms of momentum.
So, with her strange competitive spirit stirred up, the young lady of the Ouyang family casually came up with some titles to give herself.
You know what?
It seemed he had come up with a few too many titles, and Hillman on the other side was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
This made Ouyang Qianjin feel a little proud.
"You say you are a person lacking a soul?"
"Yes, see those two legs? They're gone."
Ouyang Qianjin pointed to her legs.
"Indeed, now that you mention it, your soul is indeed much smaller, probably about half gone. And there are other souls wrapped around it. Are you using [Soul Absorption] to absorb other souls to maintain your own soul?"
"I personally don't recommend this approach, since the entanglement of a foreign soul will eventually backfire on one's own soul."
After hearing what Ouyang Qianjin said, Hillman also carefully observed Ouyang Qianjin with his flickering soul fire.
He then proceeded to explain in detail what he had "seen".
They even kindly added a small piece of their own advice.
"Can you see souls?"
Ouyang Qianjin was shocked, knowing that even she herself couldn't see a soul without using any skills.
Even in Dorothy's ghost form, it's still due to her skills.
Rather than the pure, primitive state within the human body.
Therefore, it must be excluded.
As for the skill called "Soul Absorption" that the other party mentioned, Ouyang Qianjin didn't even pay much attention to it.
After all, I'm using one skill as if it were two.
Since we already have [Life Drain], it's only natural that we would have a skill like [Soul Drain].
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Ouyang Qianjin is now able to break down her skill into its components.
Simply absorbing life force, or simply absorbing soul force.
After all, the research on the basic theories of magic over the previous few months was not in vain.
"Huh? Isn't this just common sense? Even necromancers can do it, right?"
