Chapter 7: 006 I Heads -2
The coers instantly paled
They were probably stunned silly after witnessing the Holy Eh-ranking church officials were nearby, then I’d have nothing to defend myself hen they either collapse from pure unbridled shock or try to arrestthe villagers whisper, “Could it be that the Iue upon us?”
It wouldn’t be all that surprising to see the villagers think that a calarandson coh and look towards the front The zoe: ???
Specialty: Biting, clawing
+ Currently in an ‘instinctively ravenous’ state]
My Mind’s Eye returned a truly sloppy inforh As implied, these creatures were slaves to their pri with their hands The h to deal with the lot
“Heeeiiik!!”
But… the only problean faltering back while voicing their dissatisfaction to hness, this is iht them? We’re not a Priest like you!”
I kinda understood their position If not fornored thelared at the zoers to shout out,
“I… I can’t do this! We hter inside the ht…?!”
The er That was because he noticed one particular fe around in the middle of the horde
“M-my wife…?!”
The man formed an expression of despair Tears flooded down his cheeks as he began to wail
I observed the woman in the midst of the zombies; half of her face had been ripped off She looked pretty gruesome, ith various parts of her body riddled with bite wounds
Although unfortunate, the wo dead now
I ignored the sobbingmy best to look unperturbed, I raisedthe theht now is for the best, really”
I forced the corners ofwasn’t easy at all Even I was feeling a bit tense right now We weren’t talking about one or two zo bitten wouldn’t simply end with a bit of pain either You’d really die if a whole bunch of the deep breaths in order to settle down my nerves But then…
“I can’t do this!! I just can’t!!” The sobbing man loudly shouted at me, “I know it’s impossible for you lot, too!”
He then yelled at the rest of the villagers as if to lodge a protest Pointing at the zo from the forest, he continued on, “They were our fahbors! How do you expect ers Unrest was rising up a the into a bout of pure fear, they were even losing the courage to wield their weapons as well
I quickly opened nore reality”
The lare at me His tearful eyes were now filled with murderous hate
“What a headache this is,” said I, before walking up to the htly patted hientle as I could be “Fine… since you don’t want to fight, you’ll run away instead? Do what you want I won’t stop you”
Once the aze back to his zo once more
“However, you better stay sharp so that your zoirl”
Those words stopped the lanced at hi over there is no longer alive”
I pointed at the zombified woman, and the man turned around to look at his forruesoht? Well, too bad, she looks even worse inside What do you think is happening to her, really?”
You see, the [Mind’s Eye] skill didn’t only tellahile her soul has becoht now”
Maybe it was due to the effects of the Necromancer profession, I was also able to see the soul of the departed as well Distorted souls overlapping the hundreds of zo out in pain
This was one of the reasons why I raves and performed purification ceremonies Without the ceremony, these souls would never be saved and just continue to screa?”
The man’s eyes trembled
I nodded my head, “Obviously She’s becoht mind would be happy about that?”
“…”
“If you let her be like this, she’s destined to wander around forever as a spectre, never to be saved Her corpse will rot and only her skeletons will re ti tool and pushed it back to hi? Your wife probably wants to close her eyes in her husband’s presence Wouldn’t you say so?”
Theat ripping the farhter
Tears fell as his expression crumpled even further
This was the face of a aze towards his dead wife had transforlare
He must’ve made up his mind now
I patted hi should go on and live” I then glanced at the rest of the villagers “I don’t care if you decide to run away However, you better discard the notion that doing so will guarantee your survival These aren’t your run-of-the-h to block all the exits, don’t forget You think you’ll be able to evade such zombies? Nope, it’s utterly impossible”
Most of those who escaped elsewhere other than the monastery had already turned into zo to escape froet you very far
“In that case, there’s only one way out of this” I raised my shovel and pointed at the zombies My eyes swept over them as I spoke up “We round them up and smack them dead one more time This is the only way to protect your fa souls”
I endedtheir teeth Even though they were still tre away now This was a satisfactory result
“I guess you all carasped its handle with both hands, and while shrugging ers, “Let’s end this as quickly as possible Our job is siive theh I’ll bleed in my heart for you And as an added service, I’ll provide you with holy water too”
Was it because I sounded sarcastic? The villagers began cussing me out
“He’s not even a human! How can he act this way?”
“Oh, I’m sorry What can I do when this is the real me? However, just who anani!!”
“Just because it’s not your farateful that I’ to step up for you If it were someone else, not only would he have run away by now, he’d also have chased you all out from theato do Who knehen their fighting spirit would start wilting due to the already-present sense of agitation?
“Let’s end this quickly” I grasped the shovel with both of my hands “The dead probably wish to rest quietly too”
So…
“Don’t get killed though You’ll only increase rew up in a happy family
