The Villainess and I, her Zombie

Chapter 356: Sigil monster (2)

"GHUH...! Hey... I told you that I will protect you, didn't I...?"

Zombie coughed up some blood and asked the horrified girl, while two long horns were sticking right out of his chest.

"Y-you are crazy...! Why would you do something stupid like that...?!"

Cranberry trembled and backed away, falling on her butt and staring at the smiling boy as more and more blood was gushing from the wounds on his chest - only a fool would not recognize that such a wound was fatal.

"Oh... you know... I told you that I will protect you and I will keep my word... khaha... ugrgh...!"

"NEIGH...! (DAMNED HUMAN FOAL! I WILL RIP THE TWO OF YOU APART TOGETHER...!)"

"..gha...!"

The boy winked and laughed dismissively, or would have if not for the bicorn's deafening roar, as the beast was using what left of strength it had to try to lift him up and throw aside to have an easier time devouring his wound riddled body.

"...stupid horse...! Can't you see that I'm talking with a young lady of the Pride house?! SHOW SOME MANNERS, YOU UNCULTURED FILTH!"

*CRACK*

*RIIIIIP*

"NEIGH...! (AAAAUUUUURRRRGHHH...!)"

Zombie roared with a furious frown as he grabbed onto the bicorn's horns and tore one of them right out of the monster's skull and pulled it through his own body together with a part of the bicorn's scalp, making the monster howl in agony,

"GHUH...! Ptfu! Now, will you shut up, you dumb monster?"

More blood-filled Zombie's lungs and the boy coughed it up and spat to the side so that none of it would fall on the frozen ghastly pale girl in front of him and asked back.

"NEIGH?! (WHAT ARE YOU?!) NEIGH?! (WHAT ARE YOU?!) NEIGH! (YOU'RE NOT A HUMAN FOAL!) NEIGH! (LET GO OF ME!) NEIGH! (LET GO OF ME!)"

The bicorn broke down and cried out in utter terror.

Forgetting about its own terrible wounds it tried its best to get away from the boy, but no matter how much it stomped and dug into the ground with its clawed front hooves, the only result that got it was more blood and intestines gushing out of its cleaved body - as the boy didn't even budge.

"H-how is this possible...?"

Cranberry gasped, staring wide-eyed at the desperate struggles of the monster while the boy in front of her threw the ripped-off bloodied horn to the side while securely holding onto the other one still sticking through his chest.

"Rooted skill is reliant on the user's physical strengths stat... while using it the only way for the opponent to make someone using it move is to output more strength than the user..."

Zombie smiled as even his lips were growing paler and paler from the constant blood loss and explained.

"...ghhh...! Right now I have twice as much STR as this beast, there's nothing that it can do anymore... GHUH...!"

His smile grew to a pained but still confident grin and he even went as far as to tap his chest with pride, but that only resulted in more blood escaping his lungs through his mouth so he hurriedly faced the other side.

"NEIGH! (LET GO OF ME!) NEIGH! (MONSTER!) NEIGH! (MONSTER!)"

The bicorn was crying while desperately trying to pull itself away but the little boy was just like a sturdy fortress, absolutely immovable with what strength left the monster had...

"I... I can kill it! You just hold on a bit longer! I'll get your sword, finish the beast and we will get you help...!"

Cranberry shook her head and declared, gulping down her saliva after staring at the blood trickling down the horn sticking out from the Zombie's flesh.

"Nah... it's way too late for that..."

Zombie scoffed and shook his head.

"...besides, killing that thing would boost you to level 20 or 25 in one go... can you imagine so many lost quests...?"

He added with a soft laugh.

"NEIGH...! (LET ME GO...!)"

"WON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP?! GHUH...!"

Zombie roared furiously at the annoying neighing of the terrifying monster before he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Then he waved his right arm and the red threads attached to it pulled on the sword he left in the distance.

*thunk*

With a soft sound, the one-handed short-sword flew right into his hand as if it was its rightful place.

"HA?! What are you even talking about?! You are talking nonsense! What, you want to just die on me like that?! I'm from the Pride family! The strongest out of every single main family in the kingdom! I always pay off my debts! You will not get away from me that easily!"

Cranberry shook her head and scoffed at him.

"Oh, I know... that's exactly what I am hoping for... now then, my princess..."

Zombie smiled brightly at the flabbergasted girl and pointed the blade of his sword towards his own chest, right next to the bicorn's horn.

"Let me just quickly get rid of that nuisance for you... khahaha..."

"!!!!!"

He let out an amused giggle, winked at the girl, and...

*STAB*

...pierced the blade through his own chest without a moment of hesitation!

"NEEEEIIIIGH...! (GGHHAAAAAAAUUUUUUURRGGHHH...!)"

Just as he was doing that, his one-handed sword flashed with white light and turned into a demonic-looking longsword with waved blade that pierced straight through the burning sigil on the monster horse's forehead and the other right through the monster's head too, making it let out a final horrifying howl - before its body got set on fire with the red and black flames, disintegrating into ashes in real-time.

/Sigil monster has been defeated

/Sigil hunter title - enhanced

/You receive the EXP

"...khahaha... it finally shut up..."

Zombie swayed on his feet and took a step forward ignoring the messages that started popping up for him.

*clang*

His giant weapon turned into a tiny sword-shaped letter opener that fell to his feet with a soft sound.

*grab*

"You idiot! You complete braindead idiot!"

Cranberry cried out and held onto the boy, not letting him fall.

"Calling me a princess, acting as if you're my knight - all on your own...! I don't even know your name and you are already dying?! Who do you think you are?!"

She cried out while the blood of the boy was adding more vibrant red to the already crimson dress she was wearing.

/Level up

/Error

/You sustained too much damage

/Unable to level up

"Ah, right... you know... My name is... Zombie..."

/You are dead

The boy managed to whisper to the girl's ear before the light faded from his eyes and his body went limp.

"Zombie...?"

Cranberry raised her brows in confusion.

"Wait...! Zombie?! Zombie!"

Before she realized and called out his name in panic, her knight was already unable to respond...

/Soul transfer impossible

|YES! It worked!|

Patience exclaimed while sounding as if she jumped up in joy as the message popped up despite Zombie's physical body being dead.

/Story event in progress

/Please wait

|Khahaha...! Dying in Cranberry's arms, even if she won't follow the event, at least well be even!|

|Don't even try to jinx it, you idiot!|

Zombie's consciousness laughed in enjoyment and got instantly scolded by the sealed overseer.
