Chapter 25.3 (1/2)

…. … …

It might turn into a drawn-out battle with just Gallios alone.

This is undoubtedly the kind of magic to counter undead.

「Defeating them with magic isn’t that amusing, right?」

But, Shirone seems to be dissatisfied with that.

「Another one is coming!!」

Stor warns us.

Dozens of zombies approach us.

However, it’s possible to exterminate them in an instant as long as we have that Sunlight magic.

But, Shirone is unsheathing her sword and then facing against those armies of zombies.

「EH, WHAT ABOUT SUNLIGHT MAGIC!!」

I’m retorting to her action.

「FLAME BLADE!!」

「FLAME DECAPITATION!!」

And thus, she began her killing spree in the midst of the zombie army.

「W…. WOOOOW….」

Gallios unconsciously exclaims with awe visible in his tone.

「Any kind of attack shouldn’t be that effective against undead, yet….」

Undeads are always a troublesome opponent since, for example, take a zombie: they’ll become a skeleton after they are burnt with fire and then converted into a vengeful spirit without a corporeal body after their skeletal frame is smashed apart.

Especially the ethereal body, the kind of body that can’t be attacked by normal weapons. Normal weapons won’t hurt them unless you attack them with an enchanted sword.

Shirone’s pale blue light sword is a magic sword. The fire element within that sword, aside from causing damage to the corporeal body, is also cleaving the ethereal body, bone, and flesh of the zombies.

Shirone’s assault is terrifying; those armies of zombies are annihilated in a flash.

“I’m going to defeat them with only my sword while remaining inside their formation.” I want to retort like that.

「Well, let’s get going」

Shirone turns toward us with a refreshing expression and marches forward.

We silently gaze at her back.

◆ Dark Knight Kuroki

「That’s too amazing, right Rember…. The hero’s wife is so powerful」

Gallios mutters in awe.

We could advance safely till the halfway point in the tower, thanks to Shirone.

Naturally, whether it’s undead, giant spiders, or vampire bats, none of them are Shirone’s opponents.

Almost all of the demon attacking us was defeated by Shirone.

Despite sporadic traps present here and there, Shirone just broke through them with her raw power.

Arrows trap fell down even before hitting the target, she flew in the air without falling into pitfalls, even the falling ceiling traps were pushed back by her with a single hand.

To be honest, are we even needed in the first place?

「I’m also astonished. Though I witnessed hero-sama’s power before, I never thought that even his wives were extremely powerful」

Nimri and Gallios are also praising her without any restraint.

I can do this kind of feat too, you know. But, it seems this is already an amazing feat for them.

Moreover, I just can’t stomach it when they say that Shirone is Reiji’s wife.

She was labeled as Reiji’s woman back in our world, too. It seems that label isn’t that much different even in this world.

When I think about that, I feel like a fool for protecting them.

Should I go to cut the horn of the dragon right now?

It might be a good thing to get a beautiful woman similar to Rena, too.

For some reason, my heart is beating faster when I remember Rena’s face.

I’m also worried about Rena.

What the hell is Rena thinking about now?

While I was pondering as such, Shirone suddenly stopped walking.

「What’s the matter, Shirone-sama? 」

Rember inquires Shirone as to why she stopped walking.

I see a door in front of Shirone. The room’s door is different from the one so far.

「There’s something in there」

It’s as Stor just said, there’s something behind that door.

「Let’s go」

Shirone opens the door and enters inside.

「Light?」

Someone utters that word.

The light in this room is notably different from the other rooms. It can’t be compared with the illumination magic of Nimri.

But, that wasn’t the only thing different.

Someone is standing in the middle of that room. A living human who’s obviously not a zombie.

He possessed a pale face, golden-colored hair, and wore a black mantle. His cloth quality’s splendid, far from the clothes of those zombies and undead.

「Oh, just when I thought that master has returned, it turned out to be a human. You’ve come till this far, huh」
