Chapter 267: The Ongoing Damatic Island (1/2)

Arc 26: What can be done for tomatic Island

「Still, it was unexpected for them to appear in Restia」(Touya)

It has been 10 days since the second city of Sandora, Astal, was annihilated After that, skeleton frazes have appeared next in the town of Merica located in the southern parts of the Knight Kingdom of Restia

Apparently, the feudal lord of Merica ie of the vast distance between the town and the royal capital Needless to say, there were a few cunning people who tried to enjoy the benefits while reatly froe was not the saative Emotions]

As a result, the souls of everyone who had lived in Merica were eaten and their bodies becah it’s more accurate to say that they became zombies with crystal bones Last time in Astal, the bodies didn’t turn because we burned them up first

In this incident, the zohboring towns together with the Knight order of Restia who had rushed in

Skeleton Frazes aren’t that strong by themselves However, they may become a considerable threat if the population of a whole town beco towns if their subjugation is handled unskillfully

In the end, these attacks don’t see wrong with both the knights of Restia and the adventurers after their fight with the zo the souls Perhaps, it should be called the [Larvae of an evil God]

Moreover, this fellow probably comes over here from the dimensional tear, attacks humans, and then returns to the tear, just like the Frazes Maybe the [Backlash] affects it just like the other Ruler-class frazes, but this fellow seems more troublesome than those said frazes

The perception board can only predict the appearance of the Lower-class, Middle-class, and Advance-class frazes If only that evil God felloas side with some Lower-class frazes, then it’d have been possible to detect hi Let’s completely and utterly beat him up once we find hi, you know?」(Hilda)

「Eh? Ah, sorry I was just irritated there for ain front of hts in one of the castle’s roo out to me

In order to calm myself down, I immediately drink the already lukewarulp

「His Majesty appears to be in a state where his desires have accu…」(Shesca)

「Eeh? Eeeeh? This is…」(Hilda)

「Oi, you ero-maid over there Don’t whisper nonsense into other people’s ears 」(Touya)

Hilda’s face turns red after Shesca whispers sohly understand what sort of things she has told her so unless I outright deny those right here, my future will become troublesome

As for Hilda herself, she places too ood and a bad way, to the point where it’s very easy to deceive hersword matches, there are many cases in other aspects wherein she tends to believe in lies that wouldn’t work even against a child

Even if we put aside her position as a sheltered princess who’s ignorant on the ways of the world, I cannot deny the fact that she has been raised with the way of the sword strongly erandfather who’s such a dirty old man

Well, she surely reseh All hter faction are quite delicate when it comes to love affairs Nevertheless, it really helps that they don’t seeh, are they cohts when they doabout “a healthy h there are tiician faction, act in a boldabout this, I turn toward the red-faced Hilda to talk to her

「I was just thinking about the incident in Restia, that’s all」(Touya)

「Aaah… My older brother has ended up feeling a bit depressed because of it as well He thought that if he had noticed the corruption of the feudal lord in Merica a bit earlier, then…」(Hilda)

「He wouldn’t be able to grasp the situation of the entire kingdo hehe could do about it」(Touya)

Even though I said that, I’e countries, such as Restia, will make sure that they keep an eye on every nook and cranny of their land, just like how small dukedoms such as Brunhild does

It’s the country that exists to protect its citizens Citizens do not exist in order to protect the country

That’s why here in Brunhild, any event that the patrol knights, the spy knights or even Nyantaro’s cat unit learn of will be reported toto do with the town of Merica from here on out?」(Touya)

「I’ve asked older brother about that , they’re rebuilding… or rather, they’re inviting is reht However, it’s a city where a zombie outbreak has occurred, so… The recruituess it’s natural for the recruitment to be that difficult After all, people will be reluctant to live in a toherein zombies have attacked it It can’t be helped since they’ll be highly suspicious whether the land is cursed or not

Cursed lands, graveyards, and poisonous swamps — all of them are places which are inseparable from zoo to heaven in places mentioned above It’ll then establish itself in a dead body and become a zombie if left unchecked Also, it’ll still stay as a zombie even if the soul is devoured by a [Soul Eater]

Which re to the saory of the undead? Their prime difference is whether there is still flesh on their bodies or not Based on my observation, skeletons move faster than zombies Is it because of their lack of h

「I suppose I understand why the people would be afraid to live there」(Touya)

「It will be good if such [Feelings of Fear] won’t spread out any further since it ain」(Shesca)

Mnnn I guess that’s possible… I then end up carefully thinking about what Shesca has said

[Fear] is one of the siative Emotions] a person can possess People will beco again and again This anxiety will invite fear eventually Then, those accuative Emotions] will summon the [Soul Eater], or quite possibly, even suative cause and effect

I have to crush the root of this evil in order to stop this vicious cycle And because of that, I have to catch the tail of that [Evil God] no matter what…

(Black: For those don’t know theof “catch the tail” like I did, it et to the bottom of the case)

「Touya-dono, your brows…」(Hilda)

「Ah!」(Touya)

I wonder why recently, I get irritated easily Is it because every time a disaster like this happens, we turn up late nowhen I think about this persistent harass ina victi

「Haaa… I wonder if I’ll feel better if I have a change of pace…」(Touya)
