Chapter 2651: Re: Demon Realm Amusement Park

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

As we made our way through the passage leading from the burial chamber to the next room, Hina-chan had regained some of her composure. Still, scary things were scary, apparently, because she continued to cling to my arm.

However, that wasnt all. On the opposite side of Hina-chan was Aoi-chan. Rather than clinging to my arm, she maintained a composed expression but she was pinching and holding onto my clothes, as if she were slightly wary of what lay ahead.

Shed said that she wasnt all that afraid of scary things, but that she wasnt good with things that relied on startling people. She was probably on guard against that. And so, with me at the front, the two kouhai girls holding onto my arms and clothes just behind me, and everyone else following behind them, we entered the next room

[Eh? Its pitch-black in here.]

[But the path is clearly visible, so rather than being dark, I think its more like everything except the path has become invisible?]

The path leading through the next room was clearly visible, but everything else was completely obscured, as if it had been painted over in black.

How should I put it? It was as though the paths on either side of the route were all black walls. In any case, I suspected there was some sort of gimmick at work, so we entered the room.

Once all of us had gone inside, the entrance closed again but everything around us remained black, and we still couldnt see a thing. Thinking we should at least try moving forward, I took a few steps when suddenly, the surroundings lit up, revealing skeletons packed tightly along both sides of the path.

[GYAAAAAH!?]

[ ! ? ]

I felt a sudden impact on both arms. It seemed the two kouhai girls had latched onto me. Well, I understood how they felt That really was startling. Id expected something to happen, but when a skull suddenly appeared right in front of you at point-blank range, of course youd be shocked.

[I- I- I said I didnt want any cheap surprise attacks like that!!!]

[T- This is quite a sight, isnt it? A whole line of skeletons]

Hina-chan shouted, practically in tears, while Aoi-chan tried to maintain an air of composure. Perhaps because of the shock, though, her voice trembled slightly. Both of their reactions were rather distinctive, to say the least But since the two of them were even more startled than I was, I felt like I was actually managing to stay pretty calm.

Skeleton A common undead, much like zombies. Although they are often misunderstood in a way unlike zombies, skeletons are not corpses that have transformed into monsters. Rather, they are beings formed when negative magic power gathers together and creates a skeletal body. In other words, they are not actual living creatures that have been reduced to bones. Since zombies tend to be aggressive, people may have a tendency to associate skeletons with that same image. However, skeletons will not attack unless attacked first. While zombies grow physically stronger as they evolve into higher species, skeletons develop greater intelligence. From the higher species known as Wights onward, they are considered Demons, and they live in communities, building things like towns. There is considerable variation between individuals, and it is not particularly unusual for one to be born as a higher species.

The explanation made them sound relatively docile compared to zombies. Come to think of it, Sechs-san was also a skeleton-type undead, wasnt he?

Id also heard that Sechs-san was considered incredibly handsome in skeleton circles. Given that, it might not be all that surprising that skeleton-type undead had established communities of their own.

While I was pondering this, the skeletons packed tightly around us began moving in what seemed to be a well-coordinated manner.

I wondered what they were planning, when skeletons wearing clothes and even some larger skeletons appeared from farther inside Unn? Was that some kind of stage?

Incidentally, the skeletons wearing clothes appeared to be the Wight mentioned in the earlier explanation. However, according to the description, there werent actual Wights operating as Demons. They were attractions created through necromancy to recreate such beings.

[W- Whats going on!? Whats about to sta Wait, cheerful music just started playing!?]

[The skeletons are playing musical instruments? Oh, theyre starting to dance.]

I wondered what was about to happen, when the Wights holding musical instruments began to play. In time with the music, the skeletons started dancing energetically.

Every now and then, they incorporated comical movements, such as dropping their own heads, but otherwise, they danced like they were in a musical, moving to the upbeat pop music The contrast with their entrance was incredible, but it was actually pretty entertaining, and they were surprisingly good dancers.

Next, skeletons wearing robes and others clad in armor appeared on the stage. They continued the musical, acting out battle scenes and even using magic as part of their performance.

Wanting to read the explanation, I turned my gaze toward it and pictured the information in my mind. Perhaps out of consideration for the musical, the description appeared near the bottom right rather than directly in front of me.

Lich A species that ranks even higher than Wights. They excel at magic and can wield immense amounts of magic power and high-level spells. There is considerable variation between individuals, and Liches themselves are divided into several categories. The highest-ranking variety is the Emperor Lich. Famous examples include the Peerage Holder, Great Sage of the Dead. In contrast to Liches, who specialize in magic, there are also Skull Knights, who excel in physical combat. Note that the undead in this attraction are not actual Demons, but beings recreated through necromancy.

Skull Knight A species that ranks even higher than Wights. They specialize in physical combat enhanced by magic power and skillfully wield weapons such as swords and spears. There is considerable variation between individuals, and Skull Knights themselves are divided into several categories. The highest-ranking variety is the Grand Skull Knight, with famous examples including the Peerage Holder, Golden Knight. In contrast to Skull Knights, who specialize in physical combat, there are also Liches, who excel at magic. Note that the undead in this attraction are not actual Demons, but beings recreated through necromancy.

I see. So the skeletons wearing robes and using magic onstage were Liches, while those wielding swords and spears were Skull Knights The Great Sage of the Dead was undoubtedly referring to Sechs-san, but apparently, there was also a famous figure known as the Golden Knight among the Skull Knights.

The fact that they had gone out of their way to mention that name suggested that, like Sechs-san, the Golden Knight might be considerably famous among the Skull Knights.

Serious-senpai : [Unn? This Golden Knight, could it possibly be]

? ? ? : [Yep, those whove read the gaiden should know who that is.]
