Manga Chapter 11

Shadow Approaching The Princess I (王女に迫る影 Ⅰ) is the eleventh chapter of Skeleton Knight In Another World Manga.

Summary
Arc and Ponta are shocked in seeing the former's hand that has become flesh due to the Uncurse spell. However the effect is only temporary and Arc's hand returns to its skeletal appearance. The next day, Ariane informs Arc that they will be tracking down the names of the nobles who bought the missing elves. Danka is commented to be tracking a lead in Houvan while she and Arc will go to Olav.

On the way to Olav, Arc is attacked by giant dragonflies, but he, Ariane and Ponta manage to reach a human town. Ariane comments that it was funny to see Arc get attack by the insects though tells him that the creatures are quite delicious when cooked. To get to their destination, Ariane recommends that they go through the forest as it will be the quickest route. The cook of the establishment where they are dining overhears this and strongly advises against going into the forest as Haunted Wolves have been seen in the area and already have eaten ten people.

The news of the monsters, piques Ariane's interest and asks Arc if they can make a detour to the forest at the base of the mountains. She explains that she wishes to obtain the tails of the haunted wolves so she could make a wedding veil for her sister Eevin Glenys Maple. Upon hearing this Arc is more than willing to do so.

The group then arrives at the forest. Just as they made camp, Ponta and Ariane sense something in the woods. A Haunted Wolf attacks Arc, who slashes it with his sword, but turns out to be an illusion, a unique abilities these creatures. A pack soon appears and attacks but Ariane and Arc using spirit magic, Fire and Dimensional Step skills respectively manage to kill a few of them. Arc speaks to one of the wolves and asks it to withdraw so that there can be no more deaths. The pack leader then howls and leads its pack away from the fight. The results of the hunts leave three carcasses of the wolves. Arc noting that his skills are quit lacking resolves to improve for the sake of Ariane as he helps to drain the kills.

Elsewhere, Princess Yuriarna Merol Melissa Rhoden Olav is riding in a carriage with her maid Ferna who notes her mistress's unease to their visit to Limbult. The princess confesses that she is somewhat restless, not due where they are heading but more out of concern what her brothers: Sekt Rondahl Karlon Rhoden Sahdiay and Dakares Ciciay Karlon Rhoden Vetran, might be plotting. The convoy comes under attack by a group of magic casters. As Yuriarna's guards attempt to mount a defense, an assailant opens the carriage and kills Ferna before the princess is impales in the chest from behind.
