173 To the Marsh, Part 11 - Dragon Zombie

"Okay. That's all we can show you. If you walk straight from here, in a day or so, heh, it's Fairtoose's address. Well, a horse would be faster."

"Okay, thanks"

"From the Fairtooth dwelling, this bog marks where the trees are growing, go north. Well, then you don't have to take our hand to get out of the swamp. I'll tell my people not to give a hand."

"Mm, thank you."

"Yes, I mean fine. We can't be destroyed, either."

That's all I left to say, the swamps left. Apparently, he's so scared of Miriazal.

From there, as the swamps told me, proceed on horseback. The ground here is almost as muddy as the wetlands, so it's impossible to make the horses run at all costs, but as long as they were running, they were fine.

"Speaking of which, what about maple?

"... I totally forgot"

"Right before the Swamp attacked me."

"I wonder if he's here. Maple, are you there?

"Yes, here"

Maple suddenly appeared upside down from overhead. Everyone is surprised by the way it appears.

"Hey, hey! Don't threaten me!?

"Even if they say so, this is the standard way to show up."

"... I wonder what kind of education you have without a mouth. Well, I hope you're here. You're not riding a horse?

"Yes, because I run on the trees. Forgive me!"

Then Maple disappeared as soon as that was all he had left to say. It's the first time the gods have fallen apart.

"Don't follow the speed of this horse often, even though he's not running at full speed because it's a wetland"

"... right. Okay."

Miranda also made a mild statement at this time, but will regret this the next day.

After that, nothing went wrong and the journey went well. Even Lisa's sensors don't have much of a demon or warcraft around here. Maybe he's more afraid of Alphilis. But you're lucky, you're traveling faster than you thought.

"Maybe this will come soon."

"Nia, good for you. I think I'll make it within my arm's shelf life."

"Ah, oh. Right."

"I knew I wasn't feeling well..."

I'm watching how Uti is doing with Nia so that she can be held back by Aerial. Miranda was driving a horse with Lisa and Alphilis alone.

Would you have run the horse as it was for a moment? Less wetlands on the ground, slight but grass growing, Lisa reacts to something tingly.

"There's something ahead."

Respond to that voice and everyone stops the horse.

"An enemy?

"No, what is this... I thought it was a big rock at first, but it's moving"

Looks like Lisa is flying a sonar with a suspicious face.

"Rock? How much?

"The 10m is loose. But there is no heartbeat. I can't feel any signs of life activity."

"Then we'll talk fast. Zombies."

Speaks as Alphilis grinds and tongues.

"Miranda, you said I wouldn't put up with it, right?

"Oh, you said it"

"Zombies can do whatever they want."

"... Lisa, do we have to fight?

"From almost the front, obviously, because I'm coming this way. Well, I don't think it's inevitable."

"I see. Alfie, you can do this, but Nia's a priority, right?

"I get it. That's why it's faster to take them down."

Alphilis' face, who talks like that, doesn't seem to care about Nia anymore. And eventually, with the sound of the ground, the opponent that Lisa described as a rock emerged from among the trees. Seeing that look, the line will be very regrettable for taking the option of fighting.

"Ko, this is"

"Zombies are even zombies... dragon zombies!?

It was the dragon zombie that appeared before the Alphilis and the others. The size is more than 10 m loosely, as Lisa says. Although I'm not surprised by the size from the alphilis watching Giganotosaurus, the existence of a dragon is still different in its intimidation.

Even if it's 10m, it's just the torso part, and the giant wonders if it would be 20m if the feathers were spread out. I guess I was a sawdust fine dragon in my life, but I can't see the majesty anymore. The skin, said to start all human weapons back, is rotten, maggots gushing and terrible. He dripped pus from all over his body, his eyes already had no eyeballs, and his bones were exposed everywhere.

There are kinds of zombies that can be turned into evil spirits with flesh as long as evil spirits attach to corpses and move them, and paranoia in their lifetime is too strong. The former would allow them to form a Buddha with Sister's Evil Spirit Payment (Exorcism), but in the latter case it would be very troublesome. There is only one way to destroy the flesh and spirit at the same time, or to sever the untrained former. The magic of Holy Attributes is very useful because it allows the destruction of the body and spirit at the same time, but the problem is dragon zombies.

"You're also highly resistant to witchcraft, after all..."

"Even though it's rotten, your skin will still be stiff, too. Plus it's this giant. You won't feel any pain, and it's a very boney task to take them down."

"And such a stunning dragon, it's not really in the middle of the continent. Aren't you from the Fire Dragon clan that you live in Broome Volcano in the West? Why are you here?"

"I don't care about that. And this is my prey."

Alphilis looks like he's having fun.

"Ugh, it's been a long time since I've had a prey that seems to be worth breaking. Come on, I'll play you straight away."

"Alfi..."

The look on the face of Alphilis trying to stand alone against the dragon zombie was just the devil himself. Miranda sees that face and can't help but feel anxious that Alphilis is no longer the person she knows.

Alphilis, on the other hand, was not exposed to such Miranda worries, and all consciousness had already focused on fighting dragon zombies. I no longer know which one is the demon for that look of tongue-numbering dragon zombies in front of me.

"Come on, I don't know how to kill you. Oh? He's already dead, so the expression" kill "isn't accurate. Ascension or extinction? Well, either way."

Alphilis squeaks the bones of his hands, drawing separate marks on the universe with both hands.

"Well, I knew zombies were cremated, right? I'll get you a special fire."

[Reversing is the abyss, boiling is the cauldron of hell, boiling is anger. Give your will to the flames of Nara and release the wretched raw slaves]

Cremation of Hell (Gehenna)

A black flame gushed up from the ground along with the chant of the alphilis. In no time, it envelops the dragon zombie giant, and the flames of a flame can burn in the trees. The mood in this swamp should be pretty damp, but the fire momentum won't stop at all. It was momentum enough to burn the woods as it was.

"What a flame!

"Atchi, Atchi!

"I didn't know you would use so much magic in a place so incompatible with the Spirit of Fire..."

Aerial roared. Whatever creature was born to belong to fire, like Faranx, it was out of the ordinary track for humans who basically had no attributes to deal with the power so far. Moreover, the flames used by Alphilis are also specially made for amateurs. The same was true of the previous Fantasy of the Flaming Beast, but there is no indication that this flame will disappear at all to the extent that it will also shake off. Moreover, this time, unlike the earlier sorcery, the flame arrives to eat into the weak part of the dragon zombie so that the flame itself has the will, and it strikes to rip off the meat. There would be no pain already, but I wondered if the dragon zombie was painful.

"Quououououo on!"

"Ha ha! It's no use crying. Keep burning up! For my worries. Hey, ahahahahahahaha!

Everyone couldn't stop trembling at the alphilis dealing with flames that outweighed the regenerative power of the zombies and sharding the burning dragon zombies in front.

"Who is that?

"How disastrous..."

"Lisa, I'm scared."

Miranda was the calmer one as Uty cling to Lisa.

"(But even so, that dragon zombie, there's no sign of resistance at all. A zombie won't stop the progression as long as it's wrapped in flames. What the hell...)"

As a Sister of Arnelia, I am uncomfortable because I am Miranda with combat experience as a Necromancer and Zombie. Even human zombies are troublesome, but dragon zombies can't be to this extent. At least there's no hostility to this dragon zombie. If that's the case, you don't have to do the battle itself. That's what I thought. Miranda stops by Alphilis once and for all. If I let Alphilis fight any more, he might not really be able to take it back. Of all the others so overwhelmed by Alphilis, the thought of occupying Miranda's heart was best in that regard.

"(Alphilis took my past in silence... now it's my turn!

Miranda prepares herself not to abandon herself, no matter what the nature of Alphilis is, and grabs Alphilis' shoulder.

"Alfi!"

"Is it Miranda again? I'm in the middle of having fun right now!?

"There may be no hostility to this dragon zombie. Let's go now."

"I don't care about that. I'm just hitting eight!

Alphilis shook Miranda's hand off looking troublesome. But now Miranda is not going to pull either.

"Eight hits? What the hell are you upset about?

"To Miranda! I don't always feel depressed. Even though I'm Sister's minute, you can do whatever you want on the trip. Come on, I can't do that, I can't do this either. My guardian casual!?

"Liar! That's not what you're upset about!?

Miranda's words annoy Alphilis for a moment.

"What the hell are you upset about? Talk to Atashi!

"... Shut up, shut up, shut up!

There was no sign of Miranda leaving at all, as Alphilis tried to let go of the hand Miranda shook again, but now Miranda also held tight to let go. And by the way, Miranda didn't miss the fact that Alphilis was in tears.

"(Alfi still has sanity. If this!)"

"Why would Miranda stand in my way!? If you're my friend, I hope you took my side!

"If you're doing the right thing. Look around you!

What Miranda showed was a forest that was about to become a sea of fire.

"Leave all this alone, and you don't care?

"Such a forest! You just have to stop burning!

Bread, and a dry sound. Unexpectedly everyone took a breath, but Miranda strained Alphilis' cheek.
