Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 9 Talk With Your Buddies



Chapter 9: Talk with your buddies

"Otherworlder. You just called me that." Leon's brain quickly caught hints the skeleton had left.

At first, his fast-beating heart told him that the undead hated him because he was a human. But then, Leon understood that the skeleton and his army knew about him being from another world. And that was probably the reason for their hatred toward him.

The skeleton raised his bony finger, pointing it at Louise, and told her to scram. "Fox girl. You aren't on our list, so would you kindly leave his side, or would you rather die together with him? We'll give you a few seconds to decide."

His words were polite, yet his voice was cold and jeering. He thought nothing of Louise and would rather not waste any of his precious mana on her. His buddies, the armored skeletons, cackled while banging their swords on their shields, being more honest.

All of them were confident.

Why wouldn't they?

[The Skeleton Soldier Shanks Lv. 15 HP: ??? MP: ???]

"I… I am-" Louise looked away from Ronald and trained her eyes on Leon's face.

She wasn't close with him to know what was on his mind, but she could see the genuine concern on his face. All this time, Leon showcased a confident and reliable side of his, seemingly having all in his control. It was just two of them, and their levels were too close to each other, so it wasn't that weird of him to be confident.

But while Louise still had some doubts about him, this time, she had none.

Leon was troubled and unsure about their chances of survival.

'I can only see a side of his face…' Louise whispered inwardly, her heart beating faster.

Realizing Leon was ahead of her and seemingly waiting for her words, Louise started feeling bad about herself. She wasn't a girl who'd wish other people deaths or misfortune, but standing without a word was exactly her doing it.

Perhaps, if she had given a decisive answer, Leon would react already.

"I'm staying with Master!" Louise decided, her words momentarily stopping skeletons' laughter and the banging sounds of their weapons.

They glowered at her before bursting out laughing.

Ronald's red hues swayed. "Looks like you're a lost fox. Want me to guide you? I'll have you dance between death and life, fox girl!"

"Do it, then!" Leon chimed in, his eyes widened as though he'd gone mad. His enemy choked on his words as though he were a living being. "We're running away, Louise!"

"Yes, Master!" Louise decisively replied and ran after her master.

"After them!" Ronald screamed the command, and his skeleton army of fifteen units rushed after the otherworlder and his fox girl companion.

The skeleton army pursued two living beings with their senses locked on them.

Even though the trees stood in their way, the skeletons were nimble and possessed unlimited stamina, so nothing could bar their way. They also moved as though Leon and Louise's locations were marked on a minimap.

But then, the skeletons suddenly lost them.

They halted and looked into each other's red hues, squinting.

"Forward! They couldn't have run too far away! Don't slack, and just move your bones!" Ronald's furious orders swept through the forest, pushing skeletons forward.

Heeding his orders, the skeletons sprinted ahead of themselves. They weren't even paying attention to their surroundings, just gazing ahead, hoping to find their prey.

But then, from behind the trees on the sides, Leon and Louise came out, simultaneously performing Louise's fast mid-air kicks. Their aim was straightforward; the skeleton's neck and their kicks precisely aimed for that spot. While Louise's curves shone with unique flames, Leon was followed by his nine flame spirits.

BANG! BANG!

[You have killed The Skeleton Soldier Shanks Lv. 15]

[You have killed The Skeleton Soldier James Lv. 15]

Leon and Louise perfectly beheaded their first enemies. And then, Leon used his talent, ordering his nine flame spirits to shine brightly before the skeletons' skulls. Since he only had nine of them, he sent more of them toward Louise's side, which was something he didn't even think of — it just happened naturally.

Protecting and securing his girl's future was always Leon's priority: he brought that to another world.

"You're conscious beings with health points!" Leon screamed, picking up the shield and sword of his victim, only to hurl them at the skeletons without disturbed vision.

Let alone wielding those items, Leon didn't even know how to use a sword. Would slashing be enough against those skeletons? Besides, Leon thought that blunt weapons worked better against them, but he wasn't sure, for he just lacked experience.

When those skeletons raised their shields to protect themselves, Leon performed another kick and aimed for the skeleton's skull. From his skill, Book of Monsters, Leon knew that beheading those skeletons was the way to the fastest victory. Still, the magic didn't happen for the second time.

Not seeming bothered by that, Leon distanced himself away. The skeletons pounced at him in an attempt to avenge their buddies.

"Wouldn't you rather talk with them?" Leon smirked, summoning two skeletons that had died from his party's first assault.

He and Louise had killed them, so Leon naturally could use his Monster Collector's skills, taking their lives for himself and turning them into cards.

Now, those cards turned into his small army, barring the enemy skeletons' way!

Leon, still controlling his nine spirits, went after the blinded skeletons. On his way, he'd noticed Louise adding fire punches to her arsenal, smashing her little fists against the skeletons' skulls. She even killed another one!

"You're just skeletons!" Leon went up, spinning and screaming. "Other than your levels, what else do you have?!"

[You have killed The Soldier Skeleton Denis Lv. 15]

After dropping elegantly, Leon turned the skeleton into a card and instantly summoned him. He felt a few uncomfortable spots on himself, but with his reflexes, Leon threw himself backward, avoiding them.

"Kill them all, Louise!"

"Yes, Master!"
