Bro, I’m not an Undead!

Ginie was the weakest among the Harem Guild members present.

Her ranking as per the Guilds Association evaluation was only C+ while Tulnas, Natalika and Gertreld’s were B.

However, she had a special set of abilities that made her valuable as a support type combatant.

Her unique usage of Mind Casting, the Mage-Form Mimicking Art!

This was a collection of Mind Casting techniques that mimicked certain Mage spells that she had witnessed or heard of.

Therefore, Ginie’s whole shtick was to create abilities that made her seem like a Mage or produced effective results reminiscent of a Mage!

She has cultivated her mind to a degree where she was able to output a lot of mental energy specifically for this purpose while also abusing the resources of the Harem Guild in order to Class Branch into the Energy Forming category, mastering how to better perceive energies even as a Mind Caster, a Form User.

Earlier, she had held down Tomin for Gertreld to land a decisive strike on him but unfortunately, when the bastard used his Full Body Aura, that had thrown off her grip.

As for helping with Natalika’s situation, she had decided against it as she had seen Skullius’ involvement which could screw her over.

Now, she had taken to focusing on the task that was evidently left for her as was the trend with most missions that had a similar setup.

Tulnas would be the one to set her up as well.

The robed figures that were around the formation behind the invisible barrier.

‘Un, un. Should I do it now?’ she sent a mental link to Tulnas, sensing that he was headed over to the invisible barrier.

‘Yeah. I’m ready. Do it,’ Tulnas gave her consent.

All the Harem Guild members knew and acknowledged how Ginie’s abilities worked.

The farther the distance when it came to her targets that she was supposed to handle, the more she needed checkpoints that focused helped her focus her strength.

These checkpoints were other people’s minds that she could use as points to enhance her Mind Casting abilities.

For obvious reasons, she couldn’t just approach the invisible barriers as she could be fried by Gwendelina and thus needed to keep her distance.

Therefore, she had to use Tulnas’ mind to act as a checkpoint.

‘Un. Here goes,’ she thought as she held her staff tight, feeling all her mental energy rush towards Tulnas who was swimming within the sand.

She saw her vision rapidly stream over and bolt into the helm-covered head of Tulnas under the brown sand, the moment she did, her consciousness feeling a delightful sensation, as if she was swimming over warm waters.

Soon, her vision changed, turning to see a layer of passing sand as this was what Tulnas was seeing.

‘We don’t have much time. You better make it quick. The barrier is probably supported by Primus, but it should have a limited effect over mental abilities. Screw over as many of them as you can,’ Tulnas said.

When Ginie would hop over to checkpoints, the individual being used wouldn’t become unconscious but would rescind a portion of ownership of their minds to Ginie, which in most cases would limit their abilities.

‘Un, right!’ Ginie’s consciousness rang from Tulnas’ mind as she then sent out a wave of mental energy to more clearly pinpoint how much free reign she had as they neared the invisible barrier.

Her mental energy was partially blocked as it stormed over the barrier but part of it managed to seamlessly pass through – weaker portions of it.

The energy looked like glowing webs that had interconnecting portions in her vision and this was what Ginie would use to connect to the minds of the men and women in the barrier, though she made it a point to not even try to approach Guissepo whose eyes twitched as if sensing something off.

‘Un, I have to hurry!’

Her consciousness raced through the weak, glowing networks, passing through the invisible barrier as it immediately settled into the mind of one of robed figures.

The obvious question would be, if an invaded individual wouldn’t fight off Ginie’s influence?

The answer was circumstantial.

In this particular case, Ginie had it easy because her targets seamlessly to focusing on one activity, which left them open to attacks as they left all the fighting and caution to the others.

This is why she hadn’t tried this with Tomin and the rest.

The person Ginie invaded was a rather tall man with an edgy appearance and he quickly noticed something off but, Ginie who was experienced with mental invasion didn’t give him a chance to fight back as she used her limited mental energy to use a technique from her Mage-Form Mimicking Art.

‘Exploiting Illusion!’

The man suddenly felt a pulse in his body and turned to his side, his mind beginning to feel distraught as all kinds of thoughts began to roam within.

He looked to one of his companions at his side and strangely, he didn’t see a human being seated in a meditative pose like he had expected, but… a large, red berry!

It looked so good, droplets of cool water dripping from it as its supple flesh called to him with a cool sensation he imagined for himself given the visuals.

This man, along with the others had been looking over this formation for the past few weeks, their bodies acting as pillars to absorb the Primus that leaked from the connection established by the formation as that was what supported them.

But that wasn’t food!

These men and women had had denying themselves nourishment for so long!

The man’s hunger overtook him as in his mind, he heard his own voice going, ‘Just one little bite.’

Before long, the man leapt over his companion and sank his teeth into his cheek!

The man at his side screamed as he was bitten and his first instinct was to punch the daylights out of this mate of his!

Ginie quickly exited the mind of the raging man and jumped into another where she once again used another one of her techniques.

‘Combustion!’

She stormed a woman’s mind this time, using her mental energy to instil a rather evil idea that the woman who had been set on one thing for weeks instantly believed!

“ARRGHHHH! Fire! I’m on fire! HELP! I’m on fireeeee!”

The woman screamed as she started to quiver over the ground, her senses which were being manipulated believing that the body was actually being devoured by flames!

Ginie jumped again, doing the same thing over and over again.

Guissepo turned to the madness occurring behind him.

His mind quickly raced as he weeded out those exhibiting peculiar symptoms as then, in the blink of an eye his body darted towards all these individuals!

The four of the ten that remained who had been invaded by Ginie were instantly killed, their heads rolling over the ground as Guissepo confirmed that those that remained were not showing strange signs as well.

Ginie immediately rode the webs of energy she had constructed as she returned to Tulnas’ mind.

‘Un. That man is scary,’ her thoughts echoed in Tulnas’ mind with a hint of fear and disappointment. ‘I wanted to at least get five of them but…’

‘Don’t worry, that’s more than enough. With this, I should be able to break the rest apart if I use THAT. Leave the rest to me, you’ve done well.’

Ginie felt a wave of happiness.

She was once again reminded why she called Tulnas her guiding light.

The man who acted as her brother made it easy for her overcome the darkness she feared on a literal level and on a figurative level.

With Tulnas’ confidence giving her a shed of optimism, she darted back to her body which retained just enough strength to remain standing.

As she returned to her body, she couldn’t help but smile and start sweating.

This experience had made her very nervous, but she quickly calmed down, looking towards the inside of the barrier where the chaos had settled.

She looked intently at Guissepo whose eyes were looking to her right as if giving a knowing look to someone.

Ginie frowned as she followed his line of sight and when she saw what he was looking at, she had a bad feeling…
