The Contaminated Village

“……Stella, did you realize?”
“Ee, that’s too dangerous”

Its atmosphere is obviously different from the zombies that we were fighting until just now. Its entire body dyed red like in blood, sharp long nails. The zombies that newly appear staggers onwards but, when they see us, they started running towards us.

We, all hurriedly stood up and wield our weapons. The red zombie, a.s.sault one of Regul’s followers who were close by. The follower thrust his sword out towards the zombie that tries to grab him but, the red zombie with its quick movements, dodged the follower’s sword.

Then, it grabbed the follower’s arm. The pain of the long nails digging into the follower’s arm caused him show an opening and, the red zombie bit into his neck.

“You!!”

Because one of his followers got done in, Regul got angry and head towards the red zombie. Everybody else also followed Regul but, if you rush in so easily!

“Oraa!”

Regul thrust his shield out to block the red zombie’s sight but, the red zombie struck against the shield. When Regul’s shield and the red zombie’s fist clashed, one side got outpushed and repelled.

The side that lost was……Regul. At the Regul whose shield has been repelled and wide open, the zombie begins striking again. If he got hit by such an attack, Regul will!

I release a light bullet in order to save Regul. The zombie should flinch if this. .h.i.ts. That is what I thought but, the red zombie knew that my light bullet was closing in and, moved away from Regul and dodged it.

It’s frustrating that my attack didn’t land but, I’ll be satisfied with being able to even just separate the zombie from Regul.

Lig approach the red zombie during that time. Perhaps because the red zombie couldn’t ignore Lig, it looked at Lig’s movements.

Lig swings the shining sword up from the bottom. The red zombie repels it to the side with its left hand but, the point that came in contact with the light let out a sound as it melted.

Lig swings his sword to the side as it is and, the red zombie received the sword with its nails. They remain that way and the two glare at each other. To think that it’s competing in strength with that Lig.

He holds his sword with both hands and pushing it in but, the red zombie doesn’t back down. Not only did it not back down, it took a step forward as though going for another attack.

Then, the cheeks inflated. Don’t tell me!, the moment I thought that, the zombie spit something out from its mouth. I shouted out ‘Dangerous!’ but, perhaps Lig also foresaw it after looking at the inflation, he gave up competing, and moved away from the zombie.

The thing the zombie spat out landed on the ground and, smoke formed with a sound. The ground is melting?

“Gaaa!?”

When everybody was getting distracted by the thing the zombie spat out, Lig’s scream could be heard. Looking at the direction of the voice, the red zombie that has lost an arm has struck Lig’s body.

I ask the surroundings what exactly happened in that single moment and, one person who saw that spectacle told me. It seems that Lig has taken some distance but, the red zombie approaches as though chasing him.

There, Lig swung his sword down as a counter and, he was able to cut the arm of the red zombie couldn’t react and dodge fully in time off, is how it seems but. Looking at the spectacle now, it is clear that that isn’t the case.

It is obviously clear that the red zombie intentionally got cut. If that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t be able to strike Lig when it’s flinching from the pain. It let its arm be cut, to catch Lig off his guard.

Lig was struck and blown off. The sword left his hands and lost its light. The red zombie runs towards the Lig who has collapsed on the ground.

Lig is going to be killed if this continues like this. The moment I was about to release my magic thinking that I have to somehow to distract the zombie, ‘Dodoon!’, and something came down on the zombie.

Lig was blown away by the force, and a cloud of dust dances in the air. Everybody without knowing what has happened, stares at the cloud of dust and, somebody came out from it. I thought it was a zombie but, what appeared was, a refreshing male in his 20s.

The male walks towards me as lightning surges out from inside his body. The ground the male landed on has been hollowed out, the red zombie vanished without a trace. While everybody was dumbfounded and looking at the male, the male got on one knee in front of me.

“I’ve come to receive you, Holy Maiden-sama”

He placed his lips on the back of my hand.

“Wow, that guy is amazing”

“What are you looking at”

“Oji-san Darx. This is an imaging device I made. It’s able to reflect what the familiar is seeing”

“Aa, the familiar you requested me to send out previously”

Chrono nods at my words. This guy, when did he make such a thing. There was no genius like this in my era. Maybe he who was called the oddball might be one.

“Then, what are you looking at?”

“Nn? The village Boss was in. Since we’ll be destroying this place, right? So I thought I should take a look and was looking but, this village is cursed”

“Aa~, that can’t be helped. Hardt entrusted to his emotions and used his power. I wouldn’t have noticed Hardt if there wasn’t that but, the land is contaminated by the miasma leaking out from the magic power. It’s a beat.i.tude place for the ghosts”

But, ending up with just that amount of contamination is, as expected, probably because the Holy Maiden is there. She’s subconsciously purifying the contamination. But nevertheless, the contamination speed was faster.

“Furthermore, a weird fellow came out”

In front of Chrono’s finger who said that was a knight clad in lightning. Liscia will probably be able to defeat him but, it’s still tough for Hardt. I think of that while looking at Hardt.

“Katakatakatakatakata!”

“Uoo!?”

“Oo! Hey, Master! Don’t just run away, you have to attack! Or else you can’t win against the enemy!”

“Even if you say that, I didn’t think that skeletons brandishing their swords would hurl their ribs! Don’t make fun of a beginner in combat!”

……It’s still impossible.
