[The Divine Puddle has been sue’ could be heard inside round beneath my feet suddenly becaan to fill up below and eventually created a smallish puddle And then…
Squeeeal-!
Dozens of zombified rodents that stepped into the puddle all melted away
Their bodies , leaving behind only their skeletons As they slowly sunk into the puddle, they cooodness…”
The eyes of the two fare circles
They walked closer torats, addressed h the air and can even heal a dying person to their full health, but this…”
“I didn’t know that you possessed such ihness Can you also beat up the zouys read a xianxia novel or so at thee notions regarding Priests though
I hadn’t seen other Priests of this world yet, but they shouldn’t be on such a fantastical level as described by these two farmers Yup, they probably should wield a siic as ainst my shoulder
The [Swainally create a ‘puddle’ filled with de away their lifeforce, had been altered to summon a puddle filled with holy water instead
That’s all good and well, but…
“Argh… Aneered unsteadily
I’ve been thinking about this every single time it happened, but h about
I really needed to learn how to control ure out the methods to do that when all my ‘holy skills’ were based on Necroht”
I looked down on the zo away
I didn’t know that holy water could even melt down an undead’s skin and flesh, actually
I dunked my hand in the holy water beneath my feet and took a whiff of it What a unique kind of water it ith an invitingly sweet aroht up and it wouldn’t cause you any har any illnesses, enhancing your health, and as well as boosting your natural recovery rate
My version was created through a different process from the stuff found in churches or othertheir butts off while adding divinity to water However, the effects should pretty much be the sa to baptise everyone one by one, so…” I pointed at the holy water puddle and told the two farers Around a finger-sized portion should suffice Have theone”
Actually, I hadn’t experi that the two far blessed by me, this holy water should also work pretty well too
“You… want them to drink this?”
The farmers stared at the holy water puddle Bits of flesh and bones that used to belong to the zo around in it They then shi+fted their troubled gazes back to me
“I don’t think both of you are in any position to ht back at theive up as they nodded their heads
“…We’ll distribute theht away”
Yup, you should’ve done that in the first place Otherwise, I’ll be really troubled by you lot I definitely didn’t want this dang plague to get worse than this, after all I was already losing ave me
“By the ere all these zo around that particular house?”
I studied the house where all those zombified rats came out from Only the skeletal franawed on it or soaze immediately lowered down to the floor That’s when I saw a tiny little gap
My shovel sla it open I used the tool’s handle like a lever and pushed it down, causing the wooden floorboards to shatter
It was then–so reddish-black suddenly pounced at irl covered in a scarlet color grabbed my shoulder and pushed me back I lost my balance and tu crushed
A pair of icy-cold eyes were now looking down on me Without a shred of hesitation, she quickly stabbed doith her knife
“Goddammit…!!”
I reflexively blocked the knife with my shovel
The blade treed to save irl and I entered into soe was abandoned…”
Cold sweat trickled down irl dyed in blood She seeht that there was still an insane survivor in here?”
A properly bat-sht insane one to boot!
She must’ve stabbed and bit the zombie rats to death, as evidenced by the rodent flesh and fur that were stuck to various parts of her body On the other hand, ed-out wounds could be seen on her too–it was perhaps caused by the rats biting her
Her irises were constantly shaking about The glow in theht of life in theht that I was a zombie and attacked me?
More cold sweat trickled down My body was already weak to begin with and I began to tre a ood s closer topricked in the head, the bloody knife would go straight through my skull
“…Die”
A cold-blooded irl, her expression as cold as a sheet of ice, glared at me with eyes full of ry about so th was leaving my hands now
The kitchen knife crept closer to ht?!”
I summoned up every scrap of power and twisted the shovel to deflect the knife, and then, hit the girl in the head with my ‘weapon’
Crack!
Accoirl crued to get up and touchintent was so thick and heavy that I thought she actually did stabthat there was no wound, I quickly turnedon the floor, but her scary glare was still fixed on me Beside her, I could see two corpses, currently covered by large sheets
I saw that, and“Holy sht”
The two corpses were horribly maimed and shredded
It was a pair; an adult man and woman They had bite marks that evidently came from the rats, but more importantly, smallish knife stab wounds could be seen everywhere on theirl… she killed her parents that turned into zombies Then, she must’ve hid herself below the floor and endured until nohile fighting for her life
“What happened? Imperial Prince-nim?!”
The two farirl covered in blood and shouted out in sheer astonishment
“Charlotte?! Oh, oh, dear Goddess Gaia! Oh, goodness rumbled in pure dissatisfaction, “You said there were no survivors, didn’t you?”
“T-there was none ere here last time”
Rather than “there was none” it’s edhas it been since you left this village?”
“It’s been about a week, your highness However, we cae had already…”
“I see She must’ve at least endured three days, hotten any sleep, nor eat and drink anything properly
Shethe zombified rat’szo her lifeforce
What a tenacious will to live
The two far blood trickling out froreater than I thought
“Don’t get all worked up, you two She’s still alive”
I grabbed her collars and dragged her outside
“I-Imperial Prince-niirl into the puddle filled with holy water
The cold water must’ve woken her up as her eyelids faintly cracked open
“Drink”
One of the farmers hurriedly approachedchild! Her wounds are serious, if you handle her so roughly…”
