Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem

Chapter 258.2

Chapter 258.2. Game Specific Saint Is Amazing

-Preparation for [Resurrection] Complete-

A log appeared in front of me, and I paused my munching to remember.

Oh, I forgot about Elizabeth.

Suddenly, a sphere of light floated, and golden threads twisted together to form a physical body in front of Mii-chan.

I see. The knowledge says that by channeling magic power into this, I can use [Resurrection].

“As long as the soul isn’t destroyed, resurrection is possible… But it doesn’t seem to mean immortality either.”

Floating within the golden threads were souls that gently flickered and floated. Among them, some flickered weakly, seemingly on the brink of fading.

For some reason, these souls seemed to be nearing extinction.

Well, Elizabeth’s soul was shining brightly and healthy. There shouldn’t be any problem with her resurrection.

“All right, let’s do this.”

As she tossed the last bit of golden thread into her mouth, Mii-chan gathered her magic power from within her body into her palm. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

[Resurrection]

A burst of bright white light emerged, coloring the world.

The white light dispelled the darkness, and the golden threads vanished, returning to the original world. Elizabeth’s charred body restored itself.

The ashes turned into pink muscle fibers, covered by glossy skin. Her hair regrew to its original length, and her fluffy wolf ears and tail reappeared.

And so, Elizabeth’s body was completely restored, appearing without any clothing.

Elizabeth’s chest started to rise and fall, and a sigh escaped her lips.

Slowly opening her eyes,

“Achoo!”

She sneezed loudly and sat up abruptly.

“It’s cold, so cold! I-I-I’m freezing!”

She was a wolf girl whose skin had turned red and was on the verge of frostbite. She might freeze if she wasn’t careful.

“Elizabeth-chan, please take this.”

I took a fur robe from my item box and handed it over.

“It has Cold Resistance added.”

“Thank you very much. Where exactly is this? And why am I naked?”

Putting on the fur robe, Elizabeth asked.

“This is the Mist Dungeon with its true form revealed. You were almost killed by a fire trap.”

-Rejected by the world. From now on, [Resurrection] will be unusable unless certain conditions are met. That’s because you directly consumed it.-

A log message appeared, causing Mii-chan’s body to tense up. Oh no, was [Resurrection] sealed?

What could those conditions be? I had a feeling they wouldn’t be easy to fulfill. Maybe it wasn’t as simple as I thought.

Well, it was all for the sake of saving Elizabeth. She had no regrets. The last line was probably just a bug. It wasn’t because Mii-chan had munched it up.

Maidens loved sweet things, after all. Oh well, it seemed I couldn’t easily return to that world. I felt dejected. Ugh, I wanted to eat more.

“Is something the matter?”

“Oh, I resurrected you because you were nearly dead. It was a close call.”

I inwardly thought that her transition from being burnt to a normal appearance was a bit horrifying, but I smiled and answered.

“Yes, I remember… I was hit by [Magic Break] and then engulfed in flames…”

Elizabeth placed her hand on her forehead, looking downcast. However, her face also held confusion.

“Only Shin-sama should be able to use [Magic Break]. However, Shin-sama was in the spectator’s seat. What does this mean? And who used the fire ritual magic?”

“There might have been others who unexpectedly could use it. Perhaps someone was secretly holding onto it as a trump card.”

“That magic shouldn’t be so easy to use…”

“And the traps were set by the person who turned into those ice crystals over there. They came to attack with a big magic weapon, but I turned the tables on them. It was Bulldog-san, who challenged me to a fight with his family’s pride at stake.”

Mii-chan pointed to a heap of ice crystals, now a mountainous pile, where the origin was hardly discernible. Yet, Elizabeth seemed to understand.

After giving Mii-chan a brief sharp glance, she quickly averted her gaze, shook her head, and sighed.

“The new model magic weapon was intended for Father’s exclusive use. I can’t honestly believe that it gets destroyed, but I suppose that’s what happened.”

“Are you harboring resentment? Menou Fen lost his life in a battle against me.”

“…No, I’m not that shameless. Despite being the one who caused harm, I won’t be so audacious as to put on the face of a victim. It’s befitting of a noble to say that my father has passed away.”

With a deep sigh and a shake of her head, Elizabeth straightened her posture, showing a hint of sadness before smiling.

“You’re impressive. Well then, shall we resume the race? I have spare boards. They’re in the standard configuration.”

“…Very well! Considering the turmoil that will arise from Father’s passing, I doubt I’ll have time to feel down. Plus, I’d like to settle things with you.”

“Alright then, here you go.”

I took out two commercially available float boards and handed one over. I had brought all types of float boards as spares.

Putting on a brave face, Elizabeth hopped onto the float board.

“Is it true about the Mist Dungeon?”

“Yeah! It seems its true form gets revealed when certain conditions are met. Look, there’s still mist over there, right?”

I pointed at the mist generated by the cold air, confirming the statement.

Mii-chan was an honest person, after all. She was sharing her knowledge.

It’s quite an elaborate dungeon. When revealing its true form, it turns into an ice dungeon. Truly surprising.

So, will you stop giving me that doubtful look now?
