“No, that's right. As a servant of Velsharoon, the God of Liches, they will have some manner of protection against the usual divine weaknesses.” Chilli says, but then turns to you. “Although, I am surprised: I didn't expect your spell to have such an effect.”
“What did you do to that thing?” Kazuma asks, still not looking up from his work as he continues writing, no doubt listing more abilities or perhaps the spells it knew. “I've never seen an undead react like that, even to holy magic from a goddess.”
“That was my Curse Magic.” you say, reaching up and rubbing your right bicep with your left hand a bit nervously. “As long as you were once alive, pain is something even a corpse would remember.”
“Your power is strong enough to make even a lich feel pain?” the blonde woman asks you, her eyes suddenly intense as she meets yours. For some reason she's blushing a bit, breathing quickening as she looks at you. Her intensity is a bit off-putting, you taking a half-step back. “Show me. Right now, hit me with your best shot!”
“Don't mind her, she gets off on getting hurt.” Kazuma says without looking up, the woman's blush increasing as she looks away in....Embarrassment? Then, with a few more strokes he finishes the scroll, muttering some incantation and waving his hand over the paper, drying it instantly before rolling up the scroll and handing it to Chilli. Who has returned back to his base form. “There. This is everything I was able to get, before you showed up.”
“You're just giving me this?” Chilli asks him, the man nodding.
“Don't worry, I can always write another. As long as I do so before using that skill again.” he replies, then adds in as he seals the inkwell back up, stuffing it into a pocket. “Besides, I have NO intentions of ever facing something that powerful directly. If I knew Aqua's Sacred Turn Undead wouldn't work, I wouldn't have even come out here and just stalled until you returned. It's a good thing you showed up, I didn't realize how much danger we were in.”
“I'm just glad you all are safe.” the jiggly woman says, rushing over and throwing her arms around Kazuma's neck. Who seems very pleased with her holding onto him. “Don't leave me behind like that again! And don't even think about giving me that 'for your own safety' nonsense. I am still a stronger mage than you.”
As the group go to talking amongst themselves Chilli turns to you, giving you a small smile and nod of appreciation.
