Chapter 282 - Undeads Strangeness (2/2)

Not only that, their bodies seemed more corroded than usual, as if they could collapse at a quicker rate than previously noted.

”Graaaghhh!”

The two turned their heads from side-to-side.

Still, without any other appearances, Nik decided to kill one of the duo and watch as the other consumed him to note changes.

”The total number of these demons did not even reach a dozen.”

Elizabeth frowned at the report. But making sense of the situation wasn't the task to be handled, it was to formulate strategies.

With the pillars gathered and a Ray and Shizuka, Elizabeth looked at everyone and sighed softly.

”Since we all are already a part of [Transmigration Paradise], there is no need to uphold pretenses.”

Elizabeth was right— Obanai, Shigure, Saeko, Mitsuri, Shinobu, and Shizuka— were already a part of the system through Nik or Ray. Everyone within the room knew the importance of this event since it was the main mission for the duo lust bearers.

”These... Zombies,” Elizabeth still had slight trouble pronouncing the name of the species accepted by Nik and Ray, ”They die when their heads are targeted. They are sentient and are willing to devour the corpses of their own to increase the capability of their bodies by an extremely slight margin. Alongside their neck, just like demons, the sun is also their bane.”

Elizabeth noted their findings, ”Not only that, but the blood running through their veins is corrosive to organic materials. Even Hamon seems to be less effective on them and only the physical destruction of their head remains the method to defeat them.”

At this moment, Shinobu's expression turned sour, after all, her poison held almost no effect, marking that the wisteria blossoms are completely useless against these strange foes.

”Then isn't it simple?”

Mitsuri questioned with a tilt of her head.

”We just have to hold till morning every day,” She spoke as she gazed through the window. Like usual, the rays from the sun instantly ignited the demons in a rowdy manner.

”It is not that simple.”

Shinobu shook her head and grasped the true source of headache, ”The fact that they aren't mindless like we previously thought drastically changes the situation.

All of the dead within the state will rise and many of them will start devouring each other. Eating one or two of their own doesn't matter much, but with the sheer number, devouring hundreds of corpses doesn't look a fantasy.

And if luck isn't on our side, then it is safe to assume that alongside their physical capacity, even their mental capacity is reinvigorated after each consumption. it is not hard to assume that the aforementioned zombies would hide from the sun before emerging once again to continue growing stronger.”

The mood of everyone in the room fell considerably.

”Well, firstly, instead of talking about possibilities, I suggest that we clear out the graveyards in the village,” Obanai spoke with a calm expression, ”And then, we break the news to our troops and arrange the ranks accordingly to attain maximum efficiency.”
