After I left the room, I directly left the hallway and hardly have I set foot in the stairs did I spot more undead corpses rotting with their blood spread out. Looking back to where I defeated that last bunch, I see I dealt with them properly.
In other words...
“This group was attracted by the battle or either gathered here after the battle in search of prey…”
I observed this group to see if any retained enough of their minds to join me.
“…………………………………….None in this batch it seems….”
After observing them for a while, I concluded so.
The undead here are just aimlessly wandering around.
Unsheathing my sword, I took a step forward.
“Well then, I’ll put an end to your meaningless existences here.”
And leapt up high.
I raised my sword overhead and slashed at the undead in front of me as I landed.
Blood sprayed as his body was split in half.
As his body fell to the ground, I readied my stance and cut the two undead near me in half as well.
Aware of my presence, the remaining undead rushed at me.
I cut down the undead that were closest to me then jumped back to widen the distance.
I spun around mid flight to cut down the ones near me or got in my way.
I landed smoothly and readied my stance once more preparing myself for them to rush at me.
And they did.
“Child’s play… If they attacked me in formation instead of blindly rushing at me individually they might stand a better chance…”
I muttered as I cut them down one by one.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
After half an hour, the undead gathered here joined the corpses of the ones I cut down earlier.
“Although my body feels no fatigue, it’s still rather tiring to butcher corpses.”
Glancing at my sword and clothes stained in blood.
The corpses of the dead were scattered all over.
Still, I remain composed as I look over their rotting flesh.
I suppose it’s natural since I’m the same and after the events of my death.
“Hmm… I shouldn’t be hesitating here. It’s time to move.”
Taking a final glance at the scattered corpses, I left area.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
While exploring the mansion, I encountered separate groups of undead. I dealt with them easily enough.
At most, it would be a small group of 4-5.
But I haven’t encountered anyone capable of understanding speech.
“I’ve yet to encounter anyone similar to Giraus.”
I’ve been searching for close to an hour.
“Well, it’s still too early to judge things. I should continue my search.”
Placing my sword on my waist, prepared for battle at any moment.
As I ventured forth further…
“Someone save me!”
I heard a scream in a far-off distance.
“A voice? Looks like I finally found someone.”
I immediately began running towards the sound of the voice.
After a few minutes, I reached the area where the voice was coming from.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
I entered a wide room filled with crates.
I saw spilled food and wine scattered about as numerous tall shelves were arranged at the side and middle of the room.
Further on the side of the room was a door.
There was a glass window at the top showing a face.
It was a girl with violet hair.
At the moment she looked frantic.
“Someone please save me!”
She begged.
In front of that door, several undead hordes were gathering trying to get in.
Drawing my sword, I prepared for battle.
I rushed forward and beheaded one of them.
The undead halted and began to turn around to my direction.
Like before, I cut down a 2 more before retreating slightly.
Taking a look at their numbers, there were about a dozen.
In this small room, I’m at a disadvantage.
It’s best to retreat near the door and eliminate them slowly.
I slowly retreated while defending as I swung my sword. Cutting them down as they rushed towards me.
I took aim at their head, legs, and their arms.
I severed five more this way reducing their numbers significantly.
Only seven more remain.
I swung my sword beheading one more as I jumped back to create more distance.
Six.
Ahead of the rest, two were slightly ahead and rushed.
Pushing the other four back.
I moved forward and split them in to.
I sliced their heads in two, finishing them off.
Four.
The remaining undead managed to get back up and rushed at me.
As one lunged forward, I dodged to the left and slashed the one that rushed then cut down the one nearest to me as I completed my slash.
Two.
Taking advantage of the slow reactions speed of the undead, I swiftly moved between them and cut down the other two in a spin.
“Whew…”
As the last undead collapsed, I let out a sigh of relief.
I glanced at my surroundings and after ensuring no more enemies remained, I went ahead to open the door.
“Hm?”
I can’t open the door.
It may be stuck.
I gripped my sword then cut the door in two.
“Wah!”
The girl let out a small cry.
“Sorry, are you alright?”
I apologized as I lent her my hand.
“It’s fine. Thanks for saving me.”
She said as she took my hand.
“I’m Viola, thank you for saving me.”
The violet-haired girl thanked me as she introduced herself.

Thank you for your support and for reading. Also, I've been very interested lately in Dungeon Games by LionsDeathDealer. I would recommend reading it. It's quality is very great and the release dates are quite consistent in comparison to mine. I've been taking a day of rest after each post for my novel. As a final notice, I hope there aren't any errors of any kind I failed to spot when editing this chapter. Have a nice day and good night. I'm off to sleep now.
