The Villainess and I, her Zombie
-
chapter-236
Mika's tears were streaming down her face as she held her left hand close, rocking back and forth while sitting on the ground.
None of the healing skills used by the beaten-up medics did anything to lessen the excruciating pain that the wound - dealt by the blue undead and then made worse by Mika herself foolishly listening to him and tearing off her finger - was causing her.
"Everything will be alright, Mika, we will find someone who can help you..."
Corvus was by her side, doing his best to comfort the girl, but honestly, he had no faith in his own words.
Even if the skills of the medics weren't too high, their stats should be have been able to make up for it without any trouble. If they couldn't do anything..."H-how dare he...!"
The ashen-haired girl gritted her teeth and cried furiously.
"I-I'm a Justice's W-wrath...! It...! It wasn't my fault...! I'm not in the wrong...!"
She growled, hiding her face in her knees.
"Mika it's... YOU?!"
Corvus's sounded as if he was going to sit by the ashen-haired girl but then he gasped and took a step back.
*pat*"...!"
Mika felt a cold hand on her head.
It was... soothing...
But she didn't want to be calmed down! She wanted to rage and get the blue undead and the red-haired girl who stole her moment of glory away from her to suffer the consequences!
She wanted revenge for the terrible wound!
A ring finger...!
That corpse puppet made her rip off her ring finger...!
That's where the wedding ring was supposed to go!
Mika wanted justice!
And she was the justice that would bring down the punishment onto the evildoers who wronged her...!
"Hey... It turns out I went too easy on you before."
A cold voice that didn't belong to her beloved Corvus spoke up...
The cold hand on Mika's shoulder grabbed her hair in an iron grip and forced her to look up...
"!!??!?!!?!?!?!"
Right into the cold dead eyes of the blue-skinned corpse puppet.
"The previous punishment was adequate to your sin of hurting my precious daughter... but it turns out that all the cute doggies I've helped to train have died because of you too."
The corpse puppet said and...
*WHAM*
... smashed Mika's head against the ground causing an explosion that has sent white-haired Corvus tumbling back tens of feet.
"MIKA!"
"Shut up, trash."
"...!"
Corvus shouted and was about to charge the corpse puppet, but the moment the blue undead glanced at him and his eyes flashed white, the white-haired man found himself frozen in place, drenched in sweat from the unimaginable horror.
The blue undead has turned into an unspeakable overwhelming monstrosity - at least in Corvus's eyes...
"...uugh..."
Mika groaned as soon as the corpse puppet has pulled her head back up from the crater that it created.
*WHAM*
Just so it could smash it again...
*WHAM*
*WHAM*
*WHAM*
*WHAM*
"One for each cute doggy that had to die because of you."
"...uugh...uuu...! Ughy...!"
The corpse puppet explained as Mika cried pitifully with her face all bloody and messed up.
"...you will pay for this, you villain...!"
*CRUSH*
Suddenly, the ashen-haired girl's body shone with a blinding red light and she threw a devastating, full power justice punch right at the corpse puppet's unguarded face, causing the strong bones to crack and shatter as if they were made of fragile glass.
"AAAAAAUUUURRRRGGGGHH...!"
Mika wailed in pain as she completely destroyed her own hand against the undead's face without causing him any harm aside from staining his skin with her blood.
"You know what? I actually am still angry that a weakling like you dared to raise her hand against my cute daughter."
*WHAM*
Unperturbed Zombie furrowed his brows and smashed Mika's head against the ground for the seventh time and after seeing her twitch in convulsions, he finally let go of her and stood up.
"That said... you. You were supposed to be my Cranberry's bodyguard or something, weren't you, huh?"
The blue undead scoffed and walked over to the petrified white-haired man and lifted him up by the throat.
"...!"
Corvus wriggled like a worm on a fishing hook but was unable to even make a sound.
"Let's make one thing clear, mister bodyguard."
Zombie said glaring down into the trembling eyes of the terrified man.
"Cranberry doesn't need anyone other than me to watch over her. Understood? You are dismissed from your position, am I clear enough or...?"
The blue undead asked tightening his grip even more.
"!!!!!!!!"
Corvus grabbed onto Zombie's wrist with all his strength and gave his all to vigorously nod his head, even though he didn't have a full range of movement.
"Oh? That was easier than I expected! What a reasonable living you are!"
Zombie smiled and gently put Corvus down.
"Good for you!"
"Ghuah...! Th-thank you..."
The blue undead laughed and patted the white-haired man's shoulder with his left arm as the man was gasping for air.
"...?"
"!!!!"
Suddenly the undead flinched and his expression darkened, causing Corvus to tense up and raise his arms defensively.
*WHOOOOSH*
But instead of attacking him, the blue undead turned around and waved his red and black hand that extended into a whip...
"AAAGHH...! NOOOOOOOOO...!"
And wrapped around the ankle of the ashen-haired girl who was trying to crawl away.
"Who allowed you to leave, you trashy living?"
The blue undead scowled and pulled on his right arm, causing it to retract and drag the desperately struggling Mika towards him.
"She left punishing you to me, but I bet that my Cranberry has something to say to you too after all."
The undead snorted and started walking back towards his master looking at him from afar.
"You. Ex-bodyguard. Have a nice day."
"NO! NOOOO...! HELP ME...! HEEEEELP MEEEEE!"
Zombie smiled and nodded at the utterly confused Corvus, and started dragging the screaming and crying Mika behind him.
"...was... was that thanks to my LUC...?"
Corvus touched his sore neck and trembled.
"Stop!"
But even though the white-haired man wasn't going to do anything, that didn't mean that no one would try to stop the blue undead.
"Release the captive!"
The gunners lead by the medics and a few high-ranked Sloth soldiers surrounded Zombie, pointing their guns at him, ready to fire.
"...pffft...! KHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Which only met with open mockery of the blue undead.
"Put down those peashooters. Even though Cranberry told me to not kill any of you because you are working hard to protect the kingdom or whatever, if you attack first, I will simply ignore that command."
He smiled and raised his left hand up.
With a sudden gust of wind, a massive fireball appeared on top of his palm and instantly grew to a terrifying size.
...and turned violet in the next second, causing the previously keeping it together soldiers, to start visibly panicking.
"W-what are you going to do with her...?!"
The highest-ranked officer asked though even he couldn't hide how much his voice shook.
"Exactly what I've said before."
"NOO! NOOOO! NOOOOOOOOO! HELP ME! YOU ARE ALL ALIVE THANKS TO ME! HELP ME!"
"...!"
After Zombie's response, Mika cried desperately and the soldiers flinched.
"...appraise it..."
The highest-ranked officer spoke to the medic by his side.
"S-sir...?"
The bespectacled woman gasped.
"You have the appraisal+ don't you? Check what we're going up against...!"
The officer had mouthed to her with urgency.
"Yes, sir!"
The woman nodded, and her eyes glowed for a second...
/You do not have the authority to access the King of Pride's info
"...eh...?"
A short system message has shown up in front of the flabbergasted medic.
