Angelica was confused at the events that had occurred. But everyone is glaring at her and had brought out their weapons to brandish against her.

"Answer the question! What did you do?" Commander Menks brought out his daggers, which were his weapon of choice.

The daggers were glowing with thick ice energy as Menks drew closer.

Many of the Champions and the rest approached.

"I did not kill him!" Angelica shouted but her weapon was drawn.

"Kill her!"

"Interesting. I didn't expect betrayal to happen. A necromancer infiltrating the ranks... That makes sense."

The slime appeared as a bright light appeared.

The crowd was silenced. The Slime was the lord of the castle and the last time he appeared, a Hydra rampaged and killed many of the,

The slime slowly floated down and landed right on top of Angelica.

Angelica felt the terrifying power of the Slime and could feel tremendous magic.

"What an interesting turn of events. But alas, a necromancer isn't to our liking." Luigi chuckled.

"Necromancer?! Angelica?!" A Champion who had known Angelica the longest exclaimed.

"Wait! Lord Slime! Stop making up stories! I am not a necromancer!"

"You could be, or you could not be. I do know the identity of the Necromancer... But I want this game to proceed with fairness. And while the necromancer will have the chance to be the king of this place, I will make it a little bit hard for that erm... person. I can't kill the necromancer, since it is against the rules set on me though. So... I'll tell you all information about this necromancer. This traitor will try to kill the stronger members of this group. Those that have the highest chance of winning, this necromancer will secretly attack." Just like your precious Commander Tyrs who now suffers a Fate worse than death!" Luigi laughed.

Menks was startled. He was silent and glanced at the Slime. Everyone began to talk to each other but Menk's thoughts were racing.

"He didn't expose me yet. He disliked my methods but is giving me a chance!" Menks thought.

"Then is that woman the necromancer?!" One of the wandering Champions who joined the expedition asked.

"It's not me!" Angelica shouted.

"A monstrous being that hides her face! You are a necromancer!"

"Listen! The slime knows the true identity of the Necromancer! But at the start, he already exposed who I am!" Angelica insisted.

"Monstrous being? You never showed them your face?" The Slime was amazed.

Angelica was surprised at Luigi's statement.

"Hmm... You have your reasons... But I believe it's more entertaining if I do this..."

Suddenly, Luigi and the helmet that Angelica wore vanished!

The helmet had numerous magics and bindings that made it very difficult to remove. But now, Luigi used his time magic and took it away.

A beautiful face was revealed and everyone was shocked.

The beauty that Angelica had was breathtaking and many trembled in shock.

"Beautiful..." A commander exclaimed.

Those who served under Tyrs, be it Commander, Champion, or those of low level gazing at Angelica.

"A beauty that makes princesses pale in comparison! I know you...! The lost princess of the Highlands!" One of the recruited Commanders recognized her from the stories told.

Angelica had an ugly expression as she glanced around and could see the lust and desires of men. The anger and fear that she carried were slowly returning.

"Since it's come to this... I'll just survive! This place isn't ordinary... I'll kill everyone if I have to!" Angelica decided.

"As you can see, I am no necromancer! I am what the Slime called me earlier! A Dracanae! I have the blood of a dragon!" Angelica quickly removed her robes and revealed that the magical winged artifact, was in fact, a part of her body!

"I have powerful Force energy which is why my strength can match Commanders! But I do not practice the dark arts!" Angelica explained.

"...She's right! The Slime Lord said it, didn't he? The necromancer is trying to kill the strongest one! First was Commander Tyrs! And now... it's her! The traitor somehow had the power of necromancy to attack Tyrs while he was on the other side!" Menks exclaimed.

"I think it's still her! The Slime Lord ultimately wants one winner. He could be lying and wishes that the Necromancer wins! If it's not her, why did Commander Tyrs shout 'traitor'?" A Champion questioned.

Menks's expression turned to that of shock.

"He's... He's right! Tyrs knew who the traitor was!" Menks realized this truth and turned back to Angelica and everyone with him.

"Wait!" Another Commander spoke.

"What if the Necromancer didn't move into this place? If the necromancer has the power of the darkness then he could have stayed on the other side! He could have easily escaped with dark magic! But he waited for all of us to be here!" The Champion spoke.

Angelica was quiet to see the defense of this Champion. But she knew the driving factor for this Champion to heroically take this stand was because of her beauty.

"To think that which I hated would be my salvation..." Angelica sighed secretly.

"Think about it, friends! The necromancer is trying to kill the strongest ones! He stayed behind to kill Tyrs and used it to blame Angelica and hid! In this scenario, the necromancer does not need to appear to this side! He fled on his own!" The Champion pointed out an excellent scenario.

"...He's right. Besides, I've known Angelica for so long. Although I've never known of her identity, I know she is a noble warrior." Finally, the last of the surviving commanders spoke up!

Menks turned towards the Commander and saw that the Commander had a strange look at Angelica.

"Idiots! Driven by lust!" Menks secretly cursed as he saw everyone being drawn to a sudden desire to ally.

"I'll kill her last then... The slime lord must be doing this for a specific purpose. But what? Why is he going through all these tests? Vampire Ancients would never leave their legacy... What exactly is going on in this castle?" Menks began to think and observe the energy around him as everyone was discussing and proving Angelica's innocence.

"Hm? What's that?!" Menks sensed terrifying darkness surging out. It was so potent that even he would be driven mad by this darkness!

RUMBLE... RUMBLE..

At that moment, the ground began to tremble.

"Weapons ready!" Menks called out. He was among the highest official in the group now that Tyrs was dead. And as ranks no longer had value in this place, he instinctively told everyone to fight.

"I must lead this team to fight my way and claim the heritage. This Angelica seems to despise her beauty. If I ignore it, she should respect me and possibly listen to my words." Menks schemed.

"Angelica! You may be a beautiful princess, but here, you are a Champion! So fight! Everyone! We do not have time to discuss who the Necromancer is. But Champion Urion has brought up a good theory! The Necromancer may not be among us! So we have to fight as one! Commanders serving Tyrs! Give your orders! We have to leave in case the Hydra returns!" Menks shouted.

The Commanders quickly realized that they were not organized and followed Menks's advice and gave orders to prepare and create a formation.

Angelica could not help but look at Menks in amazement.

Menks saw it and was relieved.

"I was right... This should work." Menks decided as he saw the group follow his advice and Angelica's expression.

The group began to move out in files. They were wary as the quaking was becoming more intense but they knew that fleeing and rushing in a panic could lead to death. Who knows what traps lay ahead of them?

BOOM!

Suddenly, a massive red crystal sudden emerged out of the ground and the entire room and began to pulse out great red energy.

"What is that?!" A Champion exclaimed.

Menks saw it and shivered. He knew what this was.

"A Vampire Chrysalis! The Vampire Ancient is not dead! This castle does not have a tomb! This place... isn't something meant to leave a legacy! It's a trap! We are food! The Slime Lord was building a feast worthy of his lord! We are food to be offered to this vampire!" Menks cursed and realized the intention of the Slime.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Several smaller red chrysalis appeared like pillars of red to pink diamond.

Everyone was confused as to what they were.

"Everyone! Let's get out of this place!" Menks urged.

"Wait! That crystal! That energy is radiating with a great amount of energy! It could be valuable!" One of the Champions shouted.

"He's right. Commander Menks. We have to wait."

Menks was trembling and wanted to flee.

"These fools! Blinded by greed! That large chrysalis should be where the Vampire Ancient sleeps! These smaller ones... are his minions!" Menks cursed.

"Everyone...! We should follow Menks's words! I have a bad feeling about this." Angelica suddenly voiced out and quickly moved back.

"Let's go now! I shall be the vanguard! Who will accompany me?" Angelica charged to the front of their march and suddenly, many followed.

"I shall protect you, milady!"

"Let's go!"

"Milady! Allow my speed to go ahead of you so that... AHHHH!" A Scout captain rushed in the front and suddenly shrieked in pain as several dark, ghost-like creatures pounced over the captain and bit and stabbed him.

"Wraiths! Shadow Ghouls! Everyone! Prepare to battle! Beings of the darkness are here!" Menks quickly ordered.
