Chapter 6 (2/2)
“Your highness! Imperial Prince-nim!”
While I was in the e chief, a man hurriedly ran over towards us He shouted out with a pale expression, “The zombie horde is here!”
I was stunned to hear this
Zo here?
This o over where they were personally, judging fro They’re pretty loyal to their base instincts, then
This was a relief, actually–I didn’t have to search around and purify them one by one this way now The amount of work I had to do decreased because of this
“Nice! All of you, get your tools ready!”
The villagers, including the village chief, all began to tilt their heads Their confused, dazed gazes were focused on hness…?”
I shruggedthe chief “What’s up with your expressions? Didn’t you ask me to sort this crisis out for you?”
“Y-yes But, why…?”
His voice trailed off with the words, “…Why are you throwing around such an ugly word like ‘tools’ at us…?”
The corners of ht?”
Yup, so bloody obvious
I had four ‘jobs’ as it were
One, the Iravekeeper
Three, a Priest, at least nominally
And finally, a Necromancer
None of these were the kind of professions where you’d
“Fro, that’s why”
“…!!”
The village chief and his fellow villagers stiffened up in an instant
“Don’t you worry It’s not like you’ll becoet bitten by one It’ll just sting a bit and you’ll run soh fever for a few days, that’s all that will happen You can rest easy because side your pain too”
The village chief forced out a shness This is no time for jokes You said you’d help us earlier, so…”
I shi+fted ly “Did it sound like a joke to you just because I smiled?”
He openly forsht is this…?!’
Well, if you don’t like it, you can forget about it, then
I stared at him and cackled loudly in a rather evil athered in front of the monastery; there were about 50 of the axes, saws, or hunting bows and arrows
They were all built rather sturdily, perhaps owing to the fact that they were far their daily lives
Nice! They didn’t forget to pack their weapons before running away despite the urgency of the situation The survival instincts of this world’s denizens were pretty outstanding, indeed
“Oh About the equipment you took out froht? I’ll be charging you ers were now carrying fed-up expressions
I cleanly ignored them and simply nodded ht be zo with animal types, we should have no problems as they are all very slow”
Also, even if there were animal types mixed in, their attack power should still be limited overall, so it didn’t really ht, everyone Let’s take our time with this Your safety should be your top priority So don’t be too tense about hunting zo as we pace ourselves, no one will get hurt, and…”
It was then–I reflexively blockedout fro within the air like the disgusting stench of death
I cautiously shi+ftedin cri the peri zo Their numbers were in the several hundreds
“Why the hell…”
…Are there so e chief, who happened to be backing away froe Chief”
“Y-yes??”
He looked back at me with a pale face
“Didn’t you say that there were only around 30 or so back in the village?”
“T-that is… That’s …”
Even the chief hi as happening here
I began es was completely decies coe chief hurriedly counted by raising and folding his fingers “W-well, that is… the biggest village has over 200 folks, while the other ones have between 50 to 100 It should be at least over 300”
“Okay, so… since there are 100 survivors here with us, and you saw about 30 zombies In that case, where are the rest of them?”
The chief flinched and stiffened up as he dazedly stared back at me, then muttered out helplessly, “I don’t know for sure We were too busy running away, so…”
“…With this, it’s pretty clear to ers must’ve been hunted down, it seemed Or maybe, these creatures simply wandered into the ‘Land of the Dead Spirits’ Well, the very distant northern tip of the frontier wasn’t called the haven for the undead for nothing, after all
My eyes twitched as I observed the slow, lu towards us The villagers were crying out to hness, what should we do?!”
“Imperial Prince-nie chief butted in at the end and asked e my temples even harder “Is there any other way to deal with zombies?”
“No, there isn’t”
“Even when a horde like this is co?”
The chief wiped away his cold sweat as he replied, “An event like this one rarely occurs, you see If we’re faced with such a crisis, we simply inform the feudal lord and wait until he dispatches his troops”
I couldn’t help but for that “Why didon afor all the blasphemous crap the previous owner of this body co now, I couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter after thinking about it It was possible that my situation was exactly the result of that
Since ic existed for real in this world, I couldn’t discount the possibilities of Gods really existing too Not that I was religious or anything, but if Gods really did exist, then there was no way they’d do nothing when a supposed believer cussed therandson!’
I facepalrandly
The crime of blasphemy this body’s former master committed was pretty da for his transgressions, then hell, I was neck-deep in trouble here
“Ahh! The Goddess of love and e chief and the men all looked at me Was it because I offered a ‘prayer’ just now? Their eyes seeht in them
WuxiaWorldS i t e Only
They probably found Priests using divine powers in front of the undead rather reassuring Indeed, the holytheir divinity to cast their ic, didn’t they?
However, I was different
I refreshi+ngly traers held of a Priest likeer just because I cussed you out once, then Imma cuss you out even more! You cheapskate stinker of a Goddess!!”
