Chapter 58
Undead Extermination
It seems like the wraith which appears in Saintbells graveyard appears only during the time the sunsets.
Thats why we decided to leave for the place after killing time in the inn until it was night.
So-Souta-san. Itz scary. I will go back after all.
Sheryls body, after she came behind me and grabbed my sleeve, seems to be shaking.
We have not reached the graveyard but she was already acting terribly scared.
Fufufu. Sheryl-chan is the type to be afraid of ghosts, huh?
Aphrodite-san isnt afraid?
Naturally. How many times to I have to say Im a goddess! If a ghost appears in front of me, Ill use the holy attribute which they are weak against and purify them!
Oooh~. As expected of Aphrodite-san! Its reassuring when you have one of the 12 gods of olympus as your friend!
Its good that Sheryls mood was lifted.
While making a sound with her breath, Aphrodite sticks out her big chest.
Ehhh. Sheryl-chan! Whatever happens Ill show how I protect you!
Ill depend on you! Honestly speaking az Im. bad with zcary things, Im zaved.
What.
Its bad, but the words of Aphrodite just then seem to have raised a flag.
Saying such a thingwhen we reach the graveyard, youre not going to say as I though, Im scared after all!, right?
Haaaa!? Wait a minute, Souta! I cannot overlook those words right now!
Too close, too close!
As always, youre face is too close!
Dont you think you should be more aware of your level as a beautiful girl?
Why would a divine being like me be scared of something like an undead? I demand you withdraw what you said!
Is that so? My bad.
It might be due to my habits from my past life that I am doubting my comrade.
Since the person herself is saying so, this time lets believe what Aphrodites saying.
Then thirty minutes later.
A scene which didnt betray my expectations occurred.
Wait a minute Sheryl-chan! A-arent you walking a bit too fast?
Uuu.. Aphrodite-san. Becauze I am scared too.. I want you to walk in the front.
My predictions were so accurate that on the contrary, i was surprised.
Aphrodite who is walking behind is clinging to Sheryls back with no sign of leaving it.
As expected, using Sheryl as a shield isnt a good thing
Just a minute. Souta! Dont go by yourself! Are you thinking about leaving me?!
A~! I understand, so dont cling to me so much!
Soft.
The frightened Aphrodite was clinging so close to me that I got nervous in another way.
Just wait in the ball if youre scared. If your strength is necessary, Ill summon you.
Y-youre misunderstanding!? Im not scared! Its just if I enter the ball alone, Ill feel anxious by myself!
Uuu. In the caze of myzelf id rather. Being left in the ball alone would be zcary..
I, I see.
It seems like both of them have a reason not to return to the ball.
I feel that I need to follow Aphrodites example, if only for the fact that she is so unreasonably stubborn that she wont even try and admit to her faults after all this time.
Master. Be careful. There;s something in the thicket over there.
!?
I hear a rustle from the bush and grass when I looked in the direction which Carolina pointed at.
Then, immediately afterwards.
An unidentified creatures crossed towards us from the shade of the grass.

Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Go awaaaaaaaay! x2
Thank you for reacting as I expected!
At the sight of the unknown monster, Aphrodite and Sheryl screamed and nestled their bodies together.
As leaving them be is dangerous, lets put those two people back in the ball.
What this fellow?
Is it something like Blue flame floating in the air if I tried to explain the creature in words?
It is a strange appearance that does not resemble any monsters that I have met until now.
Master! Attack incoming!
Immediately after Carolinas warning.
The hitodama (human souls) floating in the air emit flame balls approximately thirty centimetres in diameter all at once.
(Summon. Adamantite Golem!)
Without delay, I summoned the adamantite golem as a guard.
Hmm-?
The heck is this.. Whats happening?
Although the enemys attack was stopped by the adamantite golems large frame, [the] hitodama, despite that, continued to simply fire fireball after fireball.
Somehow, the picture of the dull smallfry enemies of action games comes to mind.
Fire Attribute Attack Magic | Rank A | Passive
(Skill which nullifies damage by fire.)
Even if the enemy attacks the adamantite golem, the hitodamas fire attribute skill will be completely nullified.
it seems these monsters are the subordinates of the wraith, huh? The reason theyre not attacking us is probably.. The order they were given is something like remove any person who gets near you.
I see. Was there such a thing?
While the goblin corps Ive enslaved would surely follow any order I give, its not flexible at all.
Without using the right order, the actions would become stupid.
Master
Ah. I understand.
Fufufu.
Now is the time of best opportunity, when the opponent is unable to attack.
Ill make a huge haul!
.no. Wait a sec.
In the first place, can the skill I hold Absolute Domination make it that I can enslave a monster which is employed/enslaved by another person?
In the world of a game, its an act which is taboo (forbidden).
Take this! Knockout blow!
Well, rather than thinking about such a thing, trying to see the result will be quicker.
I decided to throw a capsule ball towards the hitodama (Human Soul) as a trial.
Inspecting the result.
Somehow or another, it seems I can enslave them without a problem.
The capsule ball which made a contact judgement emits a dazzling light and then takes in the body of the hitodama (human soul)
Its a bit late to think it now but the ability of [Absolute Rule] is really a cheat
