"Where... is this?" (Julia)
Julia's skeleton that had just been reanimated rattled a question whilst looking at Lucas.

But Lucas was unresponsive to her question and kept hugging her.

I'm probably able to understand what she's saying thanks to my level 2 language recognition.
This is exactly why this is such a crucial skill to obtain in another world.

Now I can translate Julia's skeleton rattles for Lucas and get closer to Julia at the same time!

"Lucas!" (???)
A familiar voice arrived trying to grab Lucas his attention.

I turn around and spot the stereotypical looking guard trying to catch his breath whilst clutching his knees.
Looks like he ran over here in quite a hurry.

It's Isaac the cavern entrance guard.

I can sense hundreds of other presences nearing our location from the same direction Isaac just came from.

"I've brought the royal army and inquisition knights! Where are the leaders?" (Isaac)

Lucas didn't respond and just kept hugging Julia.

"Oh no... L- Lucas... is that one of the guild leaders?" (Isaac)
Isaac finally noticed the skeleton Lucas was hugging and came to his own conclusion.

"No..." (Lucas)

"They should still be fighting the disaster over that way." (Lucas)
A somewhat disinterested Lucas pointed in the direction I just came from.

MAGIC SPEECH activated.
1 MP converted.

"The disaster is already dead. I spotted the guild leaders... knocked out nearby as well." (Scarecrow)
I casually inserted myself into the conversation and mention the knocked out guild members that I had spotted before.

"WAH!" (Isaac)
Isaac looked startled when he noticed me.

"AAAH!" (Julia)
Julia rattled loudly when she followed Isaac's line of sight and also noticed me.

"AAAAAH!" (Isaac)
Isaac suddenly fainted after seeing the skeleton in Lucas his arms moving.

"I- it's alive!" (Julia)
Julia pointed her boney finger at me whilst shaking in fear.

Ah...

"Isaac!" (???)
...Another familiar voice.

It's Serena, the female cavern entrance guard that always takes over from Isaac.
There's a large army of strong-looking knights behind her.

"What's the hold-up? Which way is it to that monster?" (???)
Yet another voice I recognise.
What is HE doing here though?

"Well?" (Sir Leondra)
The fat idiot noble impatiently prodded Serena for an answer.

He's clutching a potion bottle in his hand... it's one of my 800 plus full potions...

Uwah... get your slimy hands off my stuff...

"Wh- what is that thing doing here!! That scarecrow!" (Sir Leondra)
He noticed me.

"Destroy that abomination!" (Sir Leondra)

The sound of hundreds of weapons being unsheathed and rattling armour could be heard.

Those inquisition knights seem like trouble.
Hopefully, Serena can tell them all to retreat after I explain the situation to her.

"Mother?" (Lucas)
I looked over to Julia and Lucas.

"SPEED STAR!" (Julia)
Julia suddenly disappeared after swiftly getting up.

"M- my spear!" (Random knight)

"GAH!" (Sir Leondra)

The army suddenly broke out in a commotion.

I could barely follow what happened, but one of the soldier's weapon's seemed to suddenly disappear.
And in the next moment, a spear was stabbed through the idiot noble's heart.

Julia skillfully pulled out her spear and stabbed several other fatal wounds into the already dead idiot noble's body.

Scary...

Julia (♀)
AGE: 38
STATUS: HEALTHY
HP: 670/670
MP: 1026/1076
LVL: 63
LIGHT: 2
TITLES:
- MASTER SPEAR USER
- VETERAN ADVENTURER
- ADEPT LIGHT MAGICIAN
- THE LONE HOLY PALADIN
- SOLITARY SPEARMAN
- FORSAKEN HOLY MAIDEN
- SPEAR TEACHER
- HIGH SPEC MOM
- LIBERATED SLAVE

Julia's status has suddenly blown up.
Does slavery suppress your status that badly?

Somebody this strong can still get enslaved though? That's kind of scary...

"Take that skeleton down! You guys take care of that abomination!" (Important-looking knight)

(Rude.)
A woman in expensive armour pointed at me and called me an abomination.

"Have no fear! Our crusade has been blessed by the gods!" (Important-looking knight)
A bunch of knights held up potions. My full potions to be exact. And began cheering loudly.

Typical. These kinds of characters always attribute everything to deities by default.

I'm the benefactor you all ought to be praising.

Not that I can really blame them.
From their perspective, potions that can even bring the dead back to life just began raining down from the sky out of nowhere.
How else would you explain that?

One of the knights took a potion and applied it to the fat idiot noble.

Are you kidding me?

"Ugh... what... happened?" (Sir Leondra)

How dare you waste 1 of my 800 plus potions on that guy.
You might as well just pour the potion down the drain.

Julia clutched her spear, seemingly ready to attack again.
Knights covered in armour quickly and skillfully surrounded her, blocking her path towards the fat idiot noble.

*Crash!*

Suddenly a small object fell in between all the different parties that were about to break out into a bloodbath.

Julia, Lucas, Serena and all the knights paused and looked at the source of the sound.

A small glass humanoid got up from the tiny crater he had created and pointed his glass hand at me.

"I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS!" (Alcazar)

And just as he finished that sentence, a large black bird descended next to him. It's Furby.

"Seed lady." (Furby)
He said something weird whilst looking in Julia's direction.

"Demon! A demon!!" (Random knight)

"It's the disaster!" (Another random knight)

"What is that unholy aura coming from the thing!" (Important-looking knight)
She points her sword at Alcazar.

Oh boy, this situation is quickly turning into an even worse mess than it already was.

*Stab*

"GAH!!" (Sir Leondra)
Whilst everyone was distracted, Julia threw her spear at the fat idiot noble.

"Sir!" (Random knight)
One of the knights threw another one of my potions over his body.

A wooden fist abruptly appeared out of the ground and launched the knight into the sky with a relentless force.

"Wha... what ha-" (Sir Leondra)
Before he could finish his sentence, a large wooden spike shot out from the ground and into his body.

*Squeal* (Sir Leondra)

Needless to say, this one's another one of my Elena themed specials.

Now stay dead.

Ah- I got so irritated I forgot to shout out the skill name to myself whilst using wood magic.

"FIGHT!" (???)
Uwah, that spooked me. Another familiar face entered the fray, further adding to the chaos.
He appeared behind me with several other people around him.

"FIGHT ME!" (Ben)
It's the Viking-like guild leader with a large bump on his head and several of my full potions in his hand.

He's pointing at me with bulging muscles and a big grin on his face.
This appears to be one of those typical musclehead-type character moments.

"..." (Cynthia)
The female guild leader next to him seemed to be frowning intensely whilst looking at Alcazar. 

The dozens of guild members that had been fighting the disaster also arrived behind the two guild leaders.

"YOU!!" (???)

Are you kidding me?
Can people please stop showing up? I'm seriously starting to lose track.

The voice came from Elena, who arrived in between the guild people and Lucas.
Lucas seemed preoccupied trying to calculate what the best course of action would be to assist Julia.

"What are you!!" (Elena)
Elena points at me whilst shouting with an accusatory tone like I've done something wrong.

"Explain yourself!" (Elena)
