The White Necromancer

A stone colossal statue of about 2 meters stands in front of me. The colossus was not just a figure, but acted with will.

　Moreover, they are heading towards Gilly, Mia and me with hostility.

“Alex, Gilly! Leave the support to me!”

　Mia’s voice arrives from behind.

　And, a little later, haste takes hold of me. It is a support magic by Mia.

　I quickly take a distance from the colossal statue by backstepping.

“Gilly! First, I’ll crush the opponent’s legs!”

“Oh, I’ll leave it to you!”

I nodded without looking. Gilly holds a bow and arrow in his hand, and his line of sight is fixed to the colossal statue.

　When I confirm, I immediately activate the beginner’s magic.

“Pitfall!”

　This is a magic that creates a shallow hole by the target’s feet.

　The effect in the game is to immobilize the target for 30 seconds, which is often used by black magicians who perform solo play.

　If you stop with this magic and perform attack magic from a long distance, you can defeat the opponent without taking damage.

　If there are no warriors, magicians with low HP and defense power will need this kind of inhibiting magic.

　By the way, in front of me, a colossal statue is buried in a hole up to his knees and struggling to get out.

　I don’t know if the duration is the same as the game, but I’ll have to deal with it early before it escapes.

“Power Shot!”

　Gilly was activating a skill attack while I was casting the next spell.

　Powershot is a skill that archer-type jobs can learn, and attacks with high-powered arrows.

　Furthermore, this skill is not only powerful, but also has the effect of blowing light opponents backwards.

　However, it seems that the power is not enough for the colossal statue opponent. The arrow hit the colossal statue’s right knee, but did not blow it away, only creating countless cracks on its leg.

“Fire wall!”

　I hit the wall of fire against the colossal statue. This magic has a blow-off effect as well as a power shot.

　And although I didn’t blow off, I succeeded in overturning the opponent backwards and even broke his right leg, which had cracks.

“OK! The rest will be a concentrated attack while keeping a distance!”

　At my direction, Gilly uses a bow and arrow, Mia uses white magic, and I launch a ranged attack with black magic.

　The colossus moved forward by crawling, its speed very slow.

　We were able to keep a good distance with a margin.

　Then, after a few minutes, the colossus is completely destroyed and stuck. We look at it and breathe out relief.

　Then, I heard applause from a distance.

“Boys (and Girl) … that was amazing…”

“Ms. Lily, the stone golem was really tough.”

Gilly gives a bitter smile to Lily who comes over here.

　Lily, who came to us, replied with pride.

“That’s natural because it’s a golem I made.”

“Well, it’s certainly a good training, though.”

　The colossus I mentioned earlier is a magical creature created by Lily’s spirit magic.

　For some reason, Lily, who settled in my grandfather’s house, sometimes goes with our training.

　Thanks to that, I’ve been able to improve my level, which has helped me, but sometimes I’m giving up unreasonable challenges.

　Thanks to my knowledge of the game, I was able to easily defeat the Stone Golem.

　However, if you do not have the stalemate skill, you cannot break through the front with high offensive and defensive power.

　With our attack ability, it takes about 10 minutes for three people, and even a single blow can kill us instantly.

　It was completely leveling for advanced players.

“Is this enough … I hope it will be stronger next time …”

　When she noticed, Lily was muttering something with her vague eyes.

　Maybe I just wanted to show my awesomeness and didn’t think I would really be defeated.

　I understand Lily’s unyielding personality while living with her, so I think that’s probably the place.

“By the way. Will Lily live in the village all the time?”

　Gilly casually asks Lilly. 

　Apparently Mia was also questioning, and we focused our eyes on Lily.

“It will be a nuisance for a while in this village … However, I am also training, so I will eventually leave this village …”

“Are you training? Why are you living in this village?”

　Gillie’s innocent question went to Lilly for a moment.

　However, sshe answers Gilly with a serious expression to hide it.

“Alex is my lifesaver. So I’m gonna give back and practice with you for a while …”

“Oh, I was almost starving to death before I came to the village!”

　The story around here was told by Lily when she came to the village. Gilly seems to be easily convinced by the story.

　However, Mia murmured with a tilt of her head.

“… Alex food is delicious, isn’t it?”

“Burgh!?”

　Lily was visibly upset by the words.

“It’s rumored even in the village? When Lily goes out to the forest, she’s gladly returning to the wise man’s house with a lot of rare ingredients …”

“Well, that is …!?”

　Yes, I was aware of the reason why she settled down. Many ingredients are stockpiled in grandpa’s house.

　Lily, who trains when the stockpile is large, disappears into the forest when the stockpile is low.

　And the ingredients are replenished in the evening of that day.

　Furthermore, orders for meals are very strict. If you have one less dish than usual, or if you cut a little at dinner, the punishment is definitely not light,

　How important is diet to build a body with one less dish? If I cut corners, I wouldn’t be able to obtain those blessings of the forest.

　I admitted that my obsession with food was the strongest in the village. However, since she arrived, hers was noticeable.

　To be honest, her desire for food was an area that even I could notice.

“Alex’s food is delicious, isn’t it?”

　Mia asks Lily with a smile.

　But her smile doesn’t reach her eyes. I was completely watching Lily’s reaction.

　Lily calms herself and turns her gaze toward me.

　And, for some reason, she glared at me as if I was to blame.

“Alex’s food is bad … I’ll take responsibility and continue to cook …”

“That’s not true!?”

“Lies!”

　 I was surprised, Mia was hugging me to protect me.

“Well, why don’t we go back to the village …?”

　Gilly, who was completely ignored, murmured.

　However, it seems that they did not reach the ears of the two who are seriously about to fight each other.

　Gilly decided to shoot the arrow used in the training because there was no reaction.

“Gilly…”

　While being messed up by both of us, I softly laughed at such a brother.
