Huh....what the hell was that thing?

　The lady who seems to have been attacked bows her head to me and then runs away, and I look down at the zombie bastard after seeing her leave.

...... I didn't sense a magician either. No one uses necromancy, so maybe he's been using some kind of gruesome magic to control them remotely. Or maybe they were completely out of control of the sorcerer.

Oh, you're unusually harsh.

The idea of playing with the dead and using them as tools of warfare is disgusting at first. It's physiologically repulsive. Don't you agree?

"No, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

　I was just about to counterbalance her and call the nearby guards to deal with the man's corpse--that's when I heard the sound of the bell.

　--Suddenly, the sound of a bell echoed throughout the city.

　As soon as that sound is rung, the passersby, who have been watching you from afar, suddenly begin to move in a hurry.

　A tense atmosphere wafts through the area.

Hmm? ...... Hey! What's with the bells now?

"You're strangers! Now that's an evacuation notice! I don't know what happened, but that bell is going to be rung just as badly as it was when the dragon attacked the city before! You guys, get out of here, too!

　When I asked a man who happened to be nearby, he stopped for a moment and replied impatiently, and then immediately ran away.

...... one after the other, what the hell is wrong with you, a**h*le.

　Who the hell. You're interrupting our sightseeing, you bastard.

　It's bullshit. Why the hell did you put that shit up when we got here. I'll make rust out of the big sword.

...... The human city is quite a noisy place, isn't it?

Absolutely. ...... Leffi, I'm going to check on you from the sky. I'll be right back. Wait here for me.

　She nodded at me, and I went into the back of the alleyway to make sure there was no one around, and after activating the "covert" function, wings appeared on my back and I flew up into the red sky.


　　　* * * *


"Huh!

　Nell pulled the holy sword from its scabbard and, in the same motion, sent a flash of lightning through the body of a man who had tried to attack the mother and daughter.

　She slashed the head of the man who had tried to attack the mother and daughter, and then kicked at his body, pulling him down to the ground.

　The headless man, however, somehow doesn't stop moving, and tries to slither back to his feet, but Nell stabs him with her sword from above and holds him down.

Run!

"Yes, yes! Thank you!

　After seeing the mother with her young daughter on her chest quickly run away, Nell immediately began chanting to the headless man, who grabbed the sword barrel and tried to stand up.

"Out of reason! Return to his land! "Turned undead!

　As soon as the chanting ends and the magic is activated, the headless man is enveloped in an intense light.

Aga, a, gua ......

　After that light subsided, she made sure that the man had completely stopped moving and then she ran towards her next enemy.


　--The situation happened abruptly.


　On her way to the church where Nell had parted from the demon king and was bunking, she encountered a rampaging thug on the road and she quickly subdued him.

　As she waits for the guards to arrive to hand over the thugs while being thanked by her attackers - then the unexpected happens.

　It is not only a good idea to have a good time, but it is also a good idea to have a good time with your friends.

　You can find a number of different types of shoes and boots that you can choose from.
　''This is not good! One moment, she broke out in a cold sweat - the next moment, her entire body hair stood on end.

　Despite the fact that her body was slashed and her guts were dripping, she still moved as if nothing happened (・・・・・・・), (・・・・・). The man (...).

　I understand now, but the thug was already dead.
　Because he was dead, he could move regardless of whether he had guts hanging from his belly or sliced off his neck.

　--They were the undead.

　They are the undead, the walkers who envy and envy the living and flock to the light of life.
　The wretched ones who, never to return, desperately try to cling to the light of life by attacking the living and eating their flesh.

　After that, similar situations have occurred all over the city - now it's like this.


　Before I knew it, the city was awash in the walkers.


　The undead are a problem.

　They have little offensive power and move very slowly. ...... But unlike demons, they are often human in origin.
　They have a lot more to offer than just a few minutes of your time.

　It is said that if an undead person has a strong attachment to life, their magic element reacts to the residue of their feelings, and they come back to life as undead, but the details are still unknown.

　However, the number of occurrences is said to increase in areas where there is a battlefield or a high concentration of magnesium - but this city is neither of those.

　--There's something man-made about it.

　After defeating the next undead, Nell thinks so.

　First of all, it's strange that there are so many undead. From what I've seen, those who were attacked by the undead and died in time to save them have also turned into undead.

　They shouldn't be born so quickly. If the number of outbreaks is that high, the cemeteries will surely be a hellscape.

　This means that this isn't a spontaneous undead outbreak, but most likely some kind of man-made operation.

　I can't be sure, ......, but there's definitely something strange going on.

............

　If only those two were around at a time like this, the thought would pass through your mind.

　The image that comes to mind is of a young man with a smiling face and a girl who is staring at him in a disgusted but smiling manner.

　The two of them would be able to laugh off her anxiety and resolve the situation in the blink of an eye.

　--No, you can't just rely on them.

　You have to think and act on your own first.

　The first priority now is to save as many people as possible. ......!

　Wielding a holy sword and sparingly releasing holy magic, she wore a look of desperation on her face and went towards the center of the city, where screams and shouts rang out.
