Chapter 236: Haunting of the Ghost
After a short bath time, we resumed the dungeon conquest.
Facing the door that leads to the upper floor, I turned around to see Ciel still sulking.
"..."
"Don't pout anymore. It's not like it's my fault."
"I know."
Since we resumed the conquest, Ciel has been giving me a glare.
Probably because I saw her naked during the accident earlier.
"Well then, let's resume the conquest. Be careful, the next floor is the lair of the wraiths."
"Wraiths...!"
Aeris narrowed her eyes.
As a priestess, Aeris feels it is her duty to purify undead and ghosts.
Wraiths are higher-level ghost monsters that cannot be purified with ordinary light magic.
Even though Aeris is a powerful priestess, she would struggle against a large number of them.
"In that case, I'll summon a summon beast effective against undead."
Electra activated her summoning magic.
A magic circle appeared at her feet, and a figure of an angel with white wings emerged from the light.
The angel, dressed in white robes with armor, had a neutral and beautiful face.
The gender was unknown, but it was a figure that showed the dedication of the graphic designer.
"Oh, an Archangel. You were able to summon it."
I blinked in surprise.
In the game, Electra couldn't summon this summon beast when she became a companion.
Of course, the game's scenario is heading in a completely different direction now.
Even if Electra has grown more than I expected, it's not strange.
"Beautiful..."
"Angel... so divine."
Ciel and Aeris were fascinated by the appearance of the angel.
"With her, she should be able to easily deal with any ghosts. Let's move forward with her as the vanguard."
"Oh, is that angel a woman?"
"Well, I don't know. But she looks more like a lady than a gentleman, don't you think?"
"I see..."
Ciel chuckled and looked at the door.
"I'm ready too. You can rely on me to use magic against ghosts."
"Then let's go."
I took the lead and opened the door.
A corridor with stone walls, pillars, and floors appeared.
Unlike the lower floor, the corridor was eerily cold.
The walls were painted blue, giving an overall dim atmosphere.
"Oh, they're coming out already."
From the end of the corridor, a silhouette resembling a human appeared.
Wearing tattered clothes, it walked unsteadily.
It didn't look completely human, but its face was pale. There was no trace of vitality.
'Ohhh... Oahhhhhhhh'
"Huh?"
"What!?"
As soon as the wraith notices us, it instantly closes the distance and pounces on us.
It looks like a ghost from a foreign horror movie.
I have seen many monsters and monstrosities in my life, but this is a different kind of terrifying.
"Mickey, do it!"
'......'
Electra shouted sharply, and the summoned Arc Angel thrust its sword into the wraith.
The Wraith is pierced by the shining blade, and it flails about, skewered but not dead.
Using the word "extinction" for the already dead Lays is a strange story.
"Turn Undead"
Aeris activates the purification magic.
The impaled wraith is enveloped in white light and disappears completely this time.
"Even with the attack of an angel with a special attack against the undead, they don't die instantly. So, the wraith on this floor are still strong... Wait, what are you doing?"
"N-no, it's not like that!"
When I turn around, Ciel is sitting on her bottom.
When I ask her, she stands up with a red face and flustered.
"I-I mean, I didn't fall because I was surprised! Don't misunderstand!"
"No, your tsundere act is strange. In other words, you got scared and fell, right?"
Certainly, that way of pouncing surprised me too.
It was like Sadako running at full speed. Even though I knew it from the information beforehand, I was quite surprised.
"Well, it can't be helped since it's the first time. Don't worry about it."
"Ugh... It's actually harder when you're being kind..."
"Well, saying things like 'rely on me' and acting all high and mighty, it's quite amusing to see you in that state. Were you the comedian in the Leon Party?"
So far, she hasn't been as active as Electra.
It seems like her role is to experience erotic things or become something funny. That's the only thing I can think of.
"That's not true! I'll definitely show my worth, so remember that!"
While Ciel is angry, she timidly hides behind me and the angel and moves forward.
It seems like she's not good with ghosts.
During the exam, she should have entered the valley, which is the nest of the undead... It's surprising that she didn't become a hindrance.
"...Zombies are fine. But, the fear of ghosts is different, you know?"
"Yeah... I feel like I understand that."
Zombie movies and horror movies are different things.
Even if someone is fine with the former, they might be bad with the latter.
"AAAAAAAH!?"
"KYAAAAH!?"
Ciel screams in fear at the wraith that comes out from around the corner.
With Ciel's scream as the background music, we continue to conquer the 6th floor.
