Blood splattered around; flesh got sliced apart Far corpses
Charlotte and Gril were participating in the battle near the outer walls alongside the other villagers
The groups of soldiers and convicts got into a le one of thens of fear Their roller-coaster of eh to drive away the terror in their hearts
Charlotte and Gril had been supplying equipment to those in need until early dawn, and that hy they happened to be near the outer walls
After grabbing a nearby far away at the undead that et past the destroyed outer walls and the soldiers defending it
“You bastards! You bastards! You bastardssss!!!”
After hacking down at the fallen undead, Gril continued swinging his far him
“Haha! Hahaha!”
As a matter of fact, he even had a s out in the ecstasy of victory even in the middle of the battle Gril was affected by this atotten all about the undead’s terror
While delivering various equipon filled with steel shi+elds and swords Just before she could reach out and grab one though, Gril called out to her
“Charlotte! It’s dangerous, so stay behindher as his adopted daughter, Gril became extreht of responsibility he now felt, but also because he treated her like his real daughter, that’s why
Charlotte could only sainst the zombie horde looked really amateurish She prayed that he wouldn’t force his body tooto ‘protect’ her
“It’s the Vahness the Imperial Prince!”
Charlotte reacted iaze quickly shi+fted to the distance and took in the sight of a giant entering the outer walls while crushi+ng the soldiers fighting over there
Its hulking physique ell over three y poured out fro that, the monster rowed past the crowd of soldiers before it
– So that’s where you’ve been hiding, you accursed Priest! I shall repay you for the humiliation I suffered!
The Vampire roared as it looked at soe Using its tall height, the monster discovered the whereabouts of the ‘Imperial Prince’
“You Vaed voice could be heard next
Paladin Harht it His divinity-cloaked sword clashed noisily against the hand enveloped in cri forces collided, creating a powerful explosion
Har away froroaned in pain but even then, his eyes never left the Varitted his teeth and tenaciously resu full with divinity, cleaved a portion of the Valaring at Harman
– You bastard…! What are all of you doing?! Take care of this pest!
The Vah the ranks of soldiers and appear near their future king
The headless knights filled with spear, sword, and even arroounds attacked and tied Hars “Viscount Jenald!”
Jenald, while flailing about breathlessly a the zo his exhausted body towards the latter
“His highness is in danger!”
Only then did the viscount sense the urgency of the situation and looked around as well The Vah the arhts, protect the Imperial Prince!”
The feudal lord’s cry prohts to quickly make their ently rushed towards the Vampire However…
– You lowly insects dare to…!
The Vampire Count suddenly sucked in a deep breath Its neck and cheeks ballooned up like a bullfrog’s
The swell of crih its thick hide before the hts, soldiers, and convicts below it
– Fu-wooooo…!
Their bodies instantly began rotting away But then, the dead men instantly rose back up as an undead and howled out loudly
The Varandly while grabbing its stos remained on the path it treads on – become either the meat paste of human remains, or an undead that would serve the creature
Just as the Vampire expressed satisfaction over its own creations, a bullet containing divinity flew into the creature The barrier y shattered into fine pieces and scattered everywhere
The Varin iped off in an instant It recalled the horrifying wound inflicted upon it a couple of days ago as it quickly turned its head towards the source of the bullet
– …You bastard!
A Priest carrying adeeper into the fortress’s interior And as if to protect hihts fore steel shi+elds on the ground and raised their spears
“This is as far as you go, Vampire!”
– What a humorous bunch of fools!
The Vampire Count quickly made its move
It didn’t need to worry about these small fries after all However, that particular Priest was another story That hu a divinity projectile which was capable of sh the protective barrierhierous!
The Vampire then threw its hefty fra its path, and with ungainly steps, ran towards where the I the proceedings froritted her teeth
The Ier She unhesitantly picked up a shi+eld and a sword resting on the wagon
“C-Charlotte??”
As Gril watched her rush into the alleyway, he alternated his flustered gaze between her distancing back and the outer wall Before long though, he was chasing after her, the farripped his hands
(TL: Back to 1st person POV)
“Y-your highness, you need to escape!”
Knights shouted out as they stood before the vain !
I slung the rifle on my shoulder and hurriedly ran deeper into the fortress But I didn’t forget to sneak a glance behind hts were flung into the air They were crushed by the Va ensnared by its huge hands
Those dead knights with intact heads invariably stood back up as zo scene straight out of a horror ht, huh…”
Still, running with such a huge body would be a bit too h narrow alleyways, I should be able to lose the da ten thousand undead should beco the destroyed outer wall As long as I succeeded in luring away their coe victorious
After quickly entering a narrow alleyway, I then took a look behind me
“…Son of a btch!”
The Va the houses on either side Its hefty physique acted like a bulldozer as it et closer towouldn’t be able to advance that fast, but then, it was closing the distance at a considerable speed all thanks to its long gaits
Blood was staining all parts of itsth to pierce the…”
I brought the rifle nearmy prayer But then, my entire back suddenly felt a creepy chill I turnedin my direction
“Oh, shi+…”
I reflexively leapt into the alley next to o ept away by the roof crashi+ng down The entrance of the alleyas now blocked by the debris
I raised rabbing the corner house of the alleyway before a huge head abruptly peeked out fro smirk was etched on its chubby cheeks
– You rat-like bastard!
…And you’re a stinking monster, dude
I hurriedly scraain
It seemed that the ene a whole roof in ather more divinity, so this hypothesis could very well be true
Creating a bullet by gathering divinity would take at least onebit on top, then I’d need another 30 seconds, too
Trying to attack it even once this ould probably result inkilled instead
I didn’t really have otten to this stage, I ht as well run around and waste time until a rescue party shows up…
It was then, a huge shadoas suddenly cast down on me
– I shall turn you into dust!
