She Professed Herself The Pupil Of The Wiseman

Chapter 351 - 193: Irina (2)

The ghost who remained told Soul Howl how the duke tricked the Brigade of Black Lions into killing a sacred beast saying it was a monster. And she said she wanted for the duke to pay, in whatever way was possible.

That resentful ghost was Beowulf's mother. She said she would tell Soul Howl where the Brigade of Black Lions' secret hideout was if he fulfilled her desire. Apparently there were many personal belongings of the unit's members hidden there.

Beowulf's mother made sure to mention Irina's effects were also there.

Those words seemed very deliberate, as the ghost knew Soul Howl was a necromancer and was there for Irina's body. Her knowledge of necromancy seemed to be deep.

Personal effects ignored all the restrictions of Hero's Coffin and could be stored freely, and also could provide various additional bonuses, making them extremely valuable when using Hero Rebirth.

Soul Howl would never pass on such an offer, so he instantly accepted the request.

All he had to go off from was an emblem on a broken piece of armor, but Soul Howl worked diligently trying to figure out who that duke was. He pored over countless books, visited various cities, and even consulted with history and lore nuts he was friends with.

In this instance those history loving people reacted very excitedly to Soul Howl's inquiries. Especially when they heard about the truth behind Irina the slaughterer's story.

All of them worked really hard to re

「That's good to know. Then let's figure out our plan to fight Machina Guardian tomorrow.」

Mira said that as she opened the spirit mansion's door. Soul Howl's high level spells had been restored, and he had gotten stronger since the last time she had seen him, giving them many more options to fight. They needed a strategy meeting to discuss everything new and how to combine their attacks the next day.

「Yeah, you're right. There's no need to chip away at the boss' health. Let's just hit it with everything we got.」

「Oh? You sound confident.」

「I guess. It's really no biggie when I have my high level spells. And I'm sure you have something up your sleeve as well, don't you Elder?」

They were against a raid boss of the highest level, but Soul Howl still grinned unconcerned, even though the way Mira remembered him he still had some ways to go before being strong enough to deal with Machina Guardian. Maybe he had gained the necessary skills while she was gone though.

Mira also had a secret skill to overturn the fight in their favor though.

「Well, yes, that might be true. Let's finish it off tomorrow then.」

Mira sat on her sleeping bag and Soul Howl just plopped on the ground wherever he felt best, and they sketched out their entire plan. If anyone, even a high ranking adventurer, heard the way they spoke about their next fight, they would have thought the two were completely deluded.
