The Villainess and I, her Zombie

Chapter 548 - The Mystery Solved - The Heads Will Fall

The blue undead walked through the fort emanating so much pressure and hostility that every single creature in his wake literally ran away fearing for their lives – and that included Uresha of the dandelions, Coconut, and even Olive and Mirabelle who came outside to check up on him and Cranberry.

Well...

"..."

The red-haired girl was toddling behind her blue undead knight with a very serious expression – and the baseball bat scepter at the ready too.

"Are they still...?"

"Yes – she is right where I left her, but the girl I ordered to watch over her is about to leave."

Cranberry asked but before she even finished formulating the question she received the answer in tandem with the sound of teeth-gritting.

The sheer level of pure hatred reminded Cranberry of how Zombie acted in Durian\'s mansion during the first playthrough.

*click*

The door to the building opened just before the blue undead managed to break them open and a young female adventurer with an anxious expression showed up...

"...KYAAAAAH...!"

And once she raised her head and saw the blue undead knight glaring down at her she screamed in fear and fell back inside.

"I-I was going to g-get someone else to watch over miss Laura – I swear...!"

"..."

The girl cried out raising her hands defensively but Zombie merely glanced at her with his eyes glowing murky red and passed by without uttering a single word of explanation, going straight for Laura\'s room.

"...what was that...? HIIIIH...?!"

The female adventurer breathed out and was about to stand up when she suddenly saw the business end of the baseball bat that stopped a mere fraction of an inch away from her face.

"You are going back with us."

Cranberry declared before taking back her weapon and resting it on her shoulder.

"Move."

She added motioning after the blue undead who was about to enter the room...

*WHAM*

...she added motioning after the blue undead who kicked in the door to the room and enter the room...

"B-but... I really need to go... answer the call of nature, please..."

The female adventurer\'s face grew bright red and she rubbed her stomach with a pitiful expression.

"Then you will shit yourself back in that room or I will kill you here and now - your choice."

"!!!"

If the girl was hoping for even a shred of mercy from Cranberry, well, she definitely made the wrong bet.

The only thing that was certain was that the red-haired girl already activated her skills and readied her arm for an overhead strike that would crush the unlucky adventurer\'s head like a watermelon.

"N-no...! I\'m going! I\'m going...!"

The girl teared up and ran back towards Laura\'s room on all fours.

"...haa... so it\'s this event... guess we cannot delay it, might as well trigger it properly..."

Cranberry breathed out with annoyance and was the last one to properly come inside.

"..."

The blue undead knight standing over the bed where the woman in her late fifties was resting – he glanced at the red-haired girl, raising his brow at the female adventurer who scambled into the room before her,

Cranberry nodded at him with a serious expression and he nodded back before turning to the confused Laura.

"Zombie...? What is going o...?"

"Do you have anything for your defense?"

The woman asked but was cut off by the cold voice of the blue undead.

"Defence? Now, what are you talking about?"

Laura furrowed her brows and shook her head with an innocent expression.

"Are there any quest that requires her to be alive that we need to complete?"

Instead of answering her, Zombie asked without getting the woman out of her sight.

"Zombie – what are you...?!"

"Sir Zombie, you cannot be serious...!

Laura gasped and tried to stand up while the female adventurer still on the floor looked up and gasped with a ghastly pale face.

"Not a single quest we need is connected with this person."

No matter what the two tried to accomplish – the verdict had been decided the moment Cranberry shrugged her shoulders and shook her head dismissively.

*BOOOOM*

*SPLAT*

Not even bothering to utter any farewell the blue undead turned his body and annihilated Laura\'s head with a single kick – making the blood, shattered pieces of skull, and mashed up gray matter paint the wall by the bed as the lifeless corpse fell out of the bed and the copious amount of blood poured from the gruesome wound on the headless body...

"RAMBUTAN! NOOOOOO!"

The female adventurer cried out in despair and threw herself towards Laura\'s corpse and began using healing spells immediately.

"...Rambutan...?"

Zombie straightened his back and glared down at the lamenting female adventurer trying to resurrect a corpse with mediocre healing magic.

"Just wait for a second and you will see – or did you seriously think that you were killing that whole Laura...?"

"...?!"

Cranberry shrugged her shoulders and smirked mockingly causing her blue undead knight to raise his brows.

/High-level player character defeated

/Avatar of pride has slain the avatar of envy\\\\\\\\

/All sin-based skills\' levels increased\\\\\\\\

To further confirm Cranberry\'s words the message that popped up proved that the beheaded victim wasn\'t the Laura that Zombie knew.

And something was happening to the body too...

The clothes that it was wearing were moving as if the body underneath them was moving – contorting and changing shape – because that was most likely the case.

Within the next few seconds, the headless female body shrunk and changed into the headless male boy of a rather short individual.

"See? I told you that there will be no quests connected with this person in the future~"

The red-haired girl raised her head proudly and puffed out her chest with triumph as if she did a great job.

"Rambutan...! No... it cannot be...! Rambuta, please...!"

But the corpse wasn\'t the only one changing.

The female adventurer who wasn\'t giving up on using the healing skills also changed her appearance – her short hair grew long, her body also became bigger – almost too big for the gear that she was wearing and...

The two human ears grew into long elf ears with outstanding speed.

"...Rambutan and Salak...!"

Zombie uttered in a murderous tone and clenched his fists glaring at Lairs\'s mother who abandoned her daughter and betrayed her entire race.
