I became a skeleton but I have a questionable skill

I'm... weak

Rentaro Satou, That's my previous name. I came from a world full of war. A devastating world where all you see is mud and dirt.

I'm thankful that I'm not in that world anymore. I'm thankful to my master, Jeanne for giving me freedom but... AM I REALLY STUCK AS A SKELETON???

"*sigh* There's no point dwelling on that question right now."

I layed down on the grass outside the cave, while I looked up at these beautiful skies that made me feel calm. The warm sun that touches me, the fresh air that I feel, the sound of the trees waving, all of it, it feels refreshing.

"This warm and peaceful feeling... oh I long for this day to come"

My sight slowly darken and suddenly I fell asleep with this comfortable feeling within me.

The grass is swaying. Some of the leaves are falling gently to the ground, the birds that are soaring through the sky. The gentle breeze that touches my skin

"Ahh. This is the life."

"BOOOMMM"

A loud noise echoed through the background and the blue sky was covered in smoke. The beautiful grass that I was laying on became dirt and mud and the wonderful trees withered into nothing. I could hear the planes flying into the dark sky. Thousands and thousands of soldiers marching to war; And the bullets that soar above my head. The people are dying left and right, crying for help

"Is this a war? No! No! This is a nightmare! No! No! NOOOO!!!"

I immediately woke up from that nightmare, a nightmare that I can't forget. I tried to stand up but...

"A sword?!!"

A sword was stuck to my bones. It pierce my body and I can't stand up. I tried to pull it but I can't feel the pain, all I can feel is a small tingle in my body.

I slowly stood up and I was in shock. There are a lot of footprints on the ground and horses tied to the trees. I immediately noticed that we're being attacked. I don't know who it was but their forces are bigger than ours.

I hurriedly ran towards my master but the enemy's army was already far too inside the cave. There are bones splattered everywhere and dead bodies all around. I ran as fast as I could to reach her. I ran and ran and ran until I reached the enemy soldiers.

I went head-on while swinging the sword that I picked up earlier. I used my military combat technique. Luckily this is the first time they saw this fighting style and they were caught off guard. I tried to kill all the enemies that stood in my way.

"Strange... Why can't I feel anything when I'm killing someone? It's different in the modern world because we can't see their faces but now, I can see their agony and suffering but why, why can't I feel anything"

I continued slashing through the enemy soldiers and their blood stained my sword and bones. As I got closer to her, I could see her fighting back. Casting her spells, summoning the undead, and bringing them back to life.

But alas everything has its limits.

I could see her fatigue building up. Her mana running out and the enemy overwhelming her. I tried to help her, I tried to lessen her burden but the sword I stole is almost broken, my body feels heavier, my sight seems darker... but... what can I do... with this body of mine? I'm just a skeleton knight.

As I fall to the ground. My head was filled with thoughts

"I'm so sorry. I let my guard down. I was invested in this peaceful scenery that I let you down. I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry that I couldn't protect the last thing you can call home."

I don't know where these feelings were coming from, I don't know why I feel this way but I can feel that my body is telling me to protect her. I felt like I have a deep connection with her.

But I couldn't do anything to save her and my body felt weaker and weaker, and my vision became completely dark.

"It's dark, It's lonely, maybe this is what death feels like... Death, huh... well at least I can rest peacefully"

shhahhhh~

"What's that sound, It's loud."

Wraaahhh~

"I said, It's loud"

WRAHHHHH~

"SHUT UP, I CAN'T REST"

I regain my consciousness and I can feel there's something covering my head. I can hear the people screaming so loud, My hands are tied up and I'm kneeling on a stage in front of them with two men holding me down. I immediately noticed that this is an execution platform and I'm going to be be executed.

Suddenly the people became silent and a strange man started talking beside me

"The kingdom of Avalon is now broken into four pieces because of her; and I, a proud noble, Nero Pierre will unite the kingdom once again. I want you to believe in me. I want you to support me and I will start... by killing this witch that destroyed the kingdom. You may know her as the wife of the prince, Jeanne Faust or should I say Jeanne d'Arc. She did many witchcraft like control the undead and here, is the proof of that"

He removed the clothing covering my head and my skeletal body was shown to the public. I saw my master all battered up and tied to a cross with two masked men guarding her. I didn't know what to do at that moment. I was filled with regret and The people started cheering and chanting "KILL THAT WITCH!! KILL THAT WITCH!! KILL THAT WITCH!!"

The executioner lit the torch that he was holding and he started burning the haystack and wood around Jeanne. I couldn't handle the inhumane treatment that they were doing to her. I just couldn't let them have their way. I struggled so hard to break free from my cuffs. I tried to wriggle my way out slowly and quietly so that no one noticed it; and finally, I broke free.

I stole the sword of one of the executioners that was holding me down and slashed him immediately. I successfully killed one of them and the people started to panic. They began to run away from the platform and a lot of knights started to appear; and before I knew it, a lot of knights surrounded the platform I was standing on.

Jeanne began to scream from the pain. I rushed towards to help her but the remaining three executioners were blocking my way and the knights were climbing the stage just to stop me. I was flanked by them. I know that this will lead to my death but I kept pushing forward. One by one I tried to kill them until I reached her once again. Just like before, I tightly held my sword and swung it left and right. I ignored my defense, I just wanted to free her from her suffering. I kept slashing the enemies and their heads flew off and their limbs were torn. Their swords and spears broke and their armor was smashed.

I didn't give up, I tried everything I could until the bitter end, and finally, I reached her. My bones are full of cracks and my body is almost broken. I gently held her hand but as I looked at her face she was already dead. I was heartbroken, I wanted to cry but tears weren't falling down.

"Why? WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY?!! WHHHYYY"

Suddenly her hands moved and touched my face. With her dying breath, she said.

"Don't cry, I want you to live... my beloved husband..."

His memories with her flashed before me. I felt like his memories became mine and his emotions were transferred to me. I didn't know what to do anymore. Suddenly, my body moved on its own and screamed as loud as I could.

"I LOVE YO-"
