Crack! Goooosh!

Instead, the undying’s body disintegrated even faster, collapsing into a gruesome pulp.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk!” Rafinha shrieked.

“Healing works in reverse on the undying,” Inglis said.

“So fast, too. Though it’s a horrific sight,” Eris muttered.

Eris was right. The undying, unlike magicite beasts, were vulnerable to physical attacks, but they were still hard to defeat because they would not stop unless damaged to the point of physical destruction. Using healing magic on them was probably the fastest way to deal with them using normal Artifacts.

“T-Tell me that beforehand!” Rafinha protested.

“I didn’t really have time to stop you,” Inglis said.

“Ugh! Anyway, I’m going to go look for Leone! If she was alone and got attacked by these things, she must be terrified!”

“Wait, Rani. The ones napping over there are undying too.”

There were a couple others lying on the stairs. Their bleeding must have been from Leone’s counterattacks. But the undying, well, didn’t die. They must have been lying in wait for someone to draw close to their “corpses,” at which point they’d attack. Their creator must be controlling them to do so. This was no mindless assault, but complex behavior; it spoke to their creator’s power. It was quite impressive.

If Leone had let her guard down and approached them after “killing” them, she might have gotten hurt from their sudden attack. Inglis didn’t know if Leone had fought them, or whether she was still in the mansion. But they needed to find her quickly.

“I’d like you to take them down with the arrow you just used,” Eris prompted Rafinha.

“Huh?!” Rafinha gasped.

“It’s the fastest way to handle them. And if I did it, we’d end up destroying the entire building,” Inglis said. It was Leone’s home, so she wanted to show some concern.

“That’s right,” Eris agreed. “It takes a significant attack to finish off an undying. Your arrows can take them down without affecting anything else.”

“O-Okay... Go!” Rafinha’s healing arrows struck the undying and turned them into meat. Wounds opened where the arrows struck and spread out across their bodies until they were nothing but a gory mess.

“Ugggghhhhh... I can’t stand to look at this...”

“C’mon, Rani. Let’s go find Leone. You can shoot healing arrows at anything that looks like a person.”

“Yes, they won’t harm normal people,” Eris agreed.

Thus, the three began their search of the Olfa mansion. A pass through the first floor revealed no Leone—only several more undying. Each was handled with a healing arrow from Rafinha.

“She’s not on the first floor, then,” Rafinha said.

“Then let’s go upstairs,” Eris suggested.

“Ah, wait, Eris. I remember there being a cellar here too. I noticed it when we spent the night,” Inglis pointed out.

“Then let’s split up,” Eris said. “I’ll check upstairs. You two look in the cellar.”

“Sure!” Inglis and Rafinha set off for the cellar, but the door was closed.

“Leone! Leone! Are you there?” Rafinha called out as she knocked.

“No response... And it seems locked,” Inglis said. Leone might have closed it to get away from her enemies. If so, she was probably hiding inside.

“Guess we’ve gotta do it, Chris!” What Rafinha meant was perfectly clear.
