With the facility customization, I create a large hole in the wall behind the Lich.
Then, I ask Philia-san and Selius-kun, who have the gift of "green magic," to blow away the fog with wind magic.
"Understood."
"Leave it to me!"
A fierce wind blows, and as expected, the Lich's fog is blown away and flows out through the hole.
"...Huh?"
It seems that the Lich doesn't understand what's happening and is stunned for a moment, then...
"W-Why is there a hole hereeeeeeeeee!?"
While she is screaming, I distribute the holy water to everyone.
"Alright, let's throw it all at once. On three!"
At my signal, everyone throws the holy water at the Lich.
With the wind's help, they quickly rush towards the Lich.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!!
Some miss, but still, nearly ten bottles hit the Lich, drenching her instantly with holy water.
"Gyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?"
Oh, it looks like it's working quite well.
Even the Lich, known as the King of the Undead, seems to be greatly affected by this holy water.
Screaming, she rolls on the ground, writhing in agony.
She no longer has the leisure to release fog, nor does it seem like she can launch other attacks.
As I approach the vulnerable Lich, Selen attempts to deliver the finishing blow with her holy water-soaked twin swords, when—
"!"
Something shadowy tried to bind her body, but Selen barely dodged it in time.
"Who is it?"
I thought it was the Lich's doing, but she is still rolling on the ground.
Meanwhile, Selen seems to have quickly identified the attacker and shifts her gaze to another direction.
From behind a pillar, slowly emerging, was a creepy woman whose face was mostly hidden by her bangs.
"So, there are still undead companions left!"
Selen raises both her swords.
On the other hand, the woman says,
"...I-I-I-I am...a-a-a...not undead..."
In a barely audible voice, she claims that.
"Liar! You clearly look like an undead!"
"Y-Yes... I get told that a lot... People say I look like a zombie or a ghost... But... but I am a human, really..."
The woman nods tremblingly, then denies it again.
"Gai-san?"
"Yes. What she's saying isn't wrong. I can't sense any undead presence."
It seems like she’s truly not undead.
"Then why are you here?"
When Selen interrogates her,
"W-well, the thing is... I personally... really like undead... and... I heard a rumor that the Lich was here... so... I thought... I should meet it at least once..."
She's not undead, but it seems she's definitely someone dangerous.
"B-but... I got captured by the Lich... and I’ve been locked in the dungeon ever since... I was bound by magic and couldn’t escape... but for some reason, a little while ago, the restraints loosened... so I managed to escape..."
Probably because the Lich’s attention was focused on our battle.
That’s why she came to check what happened, and then saw the Lich on the verge of defeat.
"So why are you protecting this guy?"
"W-well, actually... I’m a Necromancer... and I really wanted to add that Lich to my subordinates... so... I just..."
To confirm what she said, I registered her as a villager and used the villager appraisal.
