Confined Together with the Horror Game’s Male Lead - Chapter 124

Chapter 124

“…The person controlling the undead.”

Who could that be?

Before Dietrich imprisoned me, I tried to burn all the undead with the Ring of Fire.

But they didn’t die.

‘You have to kill the sorcerer to kill the undead.’

That means none of the undead that appeared before Dietrich are the ones controlling them.

Suddenly, I recalled what happened on the second floor.

“…Erik. He got reanimated.”

The events on the third floor might have been gradually prepared from the second floor.

After killing Erik and disrupting the boss fight.

Perhaps that’s the one controlling the undead.

But one question remains.

The undead revive even after being killed. So why didn’t Erik revive?

It seems the ‘sorcerer’ intentionally didn’t reanimate him. What could be the reason?

‘Could the sorcerer be the manager of the third floor?’

[ The undead are greatly influenced by the sorcerer who controls them.

The sorcerer’s abilities are transferred to them.

If the sorcerer can control fire, the undead inherit that ability and can control fire as well. ]

The sorcerer’s abilities affect the undead?

In Dietrich’s case, his memories were manipulated. So the sorcerer’s ability must be…

[ One of the most troublesome issues for the Histania Empire was the mental-affecting dark sorcerer.

The undead who inherited the sorcerer’s abilities would manipulate people’s minds, driving many to madness. ]

This is similar to Dietrich’s current situation.

I continued reading the book.

[ The Histania Empire asked the sorcerer again,

“People are going mad under the influence of dark sorcery. What should we do?”

The sorcerer replied… ]

I turned the page. What did he say?

[ “With strong willpower and mental strength, it is possible to withstand it.” ]

…Strong willpower and mental strength?

After reading the book, I was speechless for a while.

Are you kidding me?

Who went through all the trouble of obtaining this book just to read this nonsense?

Fortunately, there was still some content left. Not much, but enough.

[ “You must be joking! If that worked, we wouldn’t be going through this! Give us a real solution already!” ]

It perfectly captured my feelings, and for a moment, I wondered if I had written this outburst myself.

[ “Mental-affecting sorcery can only be countered with that method. Dark sorcerers are cunning. They target the most vulnerable parts of the human mind to enhance the effect of their sorcery. Therefore, overcoming these vulnerabilities requires strong mental fortitude.”

“Then what should we do? Is there no other way?”

“As I said, the only way is to overcome it with strong willpower and mental strength. However, there have been successful cases.”

The sorcerer continued calmly.

“There is a village that overcame mental-affecting sorcery.”

“Where is this place!”

“It’s a village located at the western end, under Mount Envest.”

Upon hearing this, the Histania Empire immediately dispatched knights.

The knights found the village at the western end, under Mount Envest, and inquired.

The people there answered,

“We make bracelets out of the hair of our loved ones and wear them on our wrists like this. Many families, friends, and lovers wear them. It’s a token to never forget each other, wherever we are.”

“We believe it’s thanks to these bracelets. The mutual care and concern for one another. That’s how we were able to escape the dark sorcery safely.” ]

The book ended on this note. It was quite a fairy-tale-like conclusion.

I grabbed my hair that had fallen over my shoulder.

So, I’m supposed to cut this and make a bracelet for Dietrich?

But I have no relationship with Dietrich.

This isn’t easy.

Even after reading the book, I couldn’t grasp a clear idea.

I needed something that could invoke strong willpower… but what could that be?

< True love’s kiss? >

I was startled and looked up at the sudden voice from somewhere.

Wasn’t I the only one here?

< True love’s kiss could wake someone up. What do you think? >

The voice came again.
