Necromancer 20

20. Sword and Flame Undead

“Huh, this is—”

Can I make Tanaka and Suzuki my servants?

I thought I could turn the monsters I killed into undead and make them my minions, but...

These two are human, to begin with.

“Can I turn someone into an undead even if I didn’t kill them directly?”

[All the deceased from battles in which the caster participated can be turned into undead.]

The message responds.

[However, for undead of a certain level or higher, you must choose between sealing them in a tablet or letting them rest in peace.]

“I see, that Bloodclaw earlier was an example of that.”

Now, what to do—

They were jerks when they were alive, but their abilities are useful. After all, the Hero's skills are powerful.

Still, the idea of using my classmates as servants feels... wrong. And then, it happened.

Zuoh…!

Tanaka and Suzuki's corpses were engulfed in black mist. The next moment, they transformed into monsters and stood up.

“What the...!?”

Tanaka, now a swordsman clad in blue armor. Suzuki, now a female mage adorned with red flame-decorated garments.

Both had white masks over their faces, completely hiding their original features.

“Master, from now on... we are your servants...!”

Tanaka and Suzuki knelt down, reverently.

“No, I didn’t agree to make you my servants—”

[Tanaka Seishiro has been resurrected as the undead "Swordsman".]

[Suzuki Hanagiku has been resurrected as the undead "Red Mage".]

“Huh, they automatically became undead...!?”

When I made monsters my minions, I could choose with my own will.

Maybe it’s different with humans.

Or is it because they’re ‘Heroes’...?

“Swordsman and Red Mage... huh.”

They’re no longer Tanaka and Suzuki.

They’ve been given new names and powers as undead, huh?

Honestly, using the dead as servants makes me feel a bit guilty, but— They will be a big asset.

“...Got it. From now on, you two work as my servants.”

I decided to accept it.

“Might as well check my current status… Status Open.”
