I got a hint from Pope Rupel, and the next day, I set out for Lost Village.

As a neighboring country, a village called Rostra, not far to the north and not far from here.

Using a skeleton horse, I was able to arrive at the end of the 10-day journey without rest.

The town is well watered, large and famous for its tourist attractions, so after finding Dragon Slayer's whereabouts, I decided to wait for the First Prince to arrive.

“I never thought I'd see this coming. ”

I didn't think I'd see Prince Barus as soon as I arrived in Lost Village.

Besides, no way.

“Stop him!"

The knights hurriedly lift the table and start blocking the entrance to the inn.

The window is broken, and the knights stab and block the walkers trying to get in.

... I didn't think the whole town would turn into a zombie.

It is quite urgent.

Knights shout and draw their swords.

You block the door with your body and swing your weapon toward the window.

It cost them their lives, but it was a separate story for me to hunt for vampires.

“I've been looking for you. ”

I poured a glass of wine and told Varus.

“Sit down and have a drink. ”

I took a glass from the item window and placed it on the table.

I glanced at Varus with a smile.

“You know me, don't you? ”

Varus watches and touches the handle of the sword in his waist.

Contrary to caution, the knights were urgent.

“Who are you?! ”

He pulled out his sword and pointed it at me.

It was a big mistake.

Charlotte's expression freezes cold.

Her sword cuts out the knight's sword. He also quickly moved his left hand to grasp the knight's neck.

The knight's body rises.

"...!"

Varus opens his eyes wide.

At best, she was an adult girl. I couldn't hide my surprise that the hand was lifting the heavy knight.

“I'm not here to fight. Prince.”

I looked at Varus.

[Name: Barus Victoria.

Characteristics: Excellent swordsmanship, planter in greenhouse, weak decisiveness, belief in self-justice.

- I didn't kill my father. It's unfair!]

You check his condition with your mind.

The traitor who assaulted the king.

Varus' character denies it.

I barged in to see Varus.

“Let's have a drink first. ”

It doesn't matter who killed the king or who framed him for contempt.

There's only one thing I need to do.

2Imperial mercy, only Rose Bridge.

Varus stares at the knight captured by Charlotte.

“It's okay.”

In a word, Charlotte untied her hand.

The knight hesitates to cough.

“Prince, we must flee! ”

The knights who are stopping the zombies cry out.

The zombie count was substantial.

It seems that not only the villagers were killed, but also the travelers who came here.

Varus glances at the knights in cold sweat.

I looked at Varus and said, relaxing.

“We don't have much time. ”

“... what do they want? ”

Varus is back in his seat.

I took my glass and stared at it dazed.

“It's not poisoned. ”

“How can you believe that? ”

“If you wanted to kill or kidnap me, I would have. ”

Barus glances at Charlotte for a moment.

If Varus saw the strength and skill of her silent mouth, he would know that Charlotte is superior to the knights here.

“Okay, what do you want? Did the rebels send you? ”

“Rebels?”

I tilted my head.

After a while, "Ah! ’Then I clapped my hands.

For Varus, the rebels would be Deryan Victoria, the second prince in the throne of the current Rom realm.

Both of them refer to themselves as rightful successors to the throne.

“It has nothing to do with them. I just have one question. ”

“What do you want to ask? ”

I opened my chin and asked Varus.

“2Do you know the emperor, Rose Darina? ”

Barus' expression hardened in Rose Darina's remarks.

Varus looked back and forth between Charlotte and me.

Now they know who we are.

They think it's some kind of paladin from the Holy See.

Varus said in a cold sweat.

“How did you find me? ”

“I just got lucky. And you better answer the question. ”

I point my finger at the entrance to the inn.

Kung-! Qajik-!

The entrance that was blocked by the table begins to break.

Varus looked at me nervously and said,

“Even the paladins of the Holy See won't be able to stop them. Now let's work together..."

“We don't have time. Did you know about Rose Darina? ”

“Now is the time to say it...! ”

“Charlotte."

Charlotte grabs Barus by the back and slams him to the ground.

Varus frowns in pain.

“Do you know Rose Darina? ”

“My prince!"

The knights try to rush in, but Charlotte holds a sword to her neck and remains motionless.

Then, the door broke.

Zombies crawl out.

“Zombies! ”

Knights hunt zombies with swords.

They've hunted the undead before, so they aim for the head.

But...

Bang!

The blade is clogged in thick hide.

The knights stiffen and raise their heads.

A giant zombie, about 50 feet tall, grabs the knight's sword with his left hand and raises the axe in his right hand.

“Zombie Warrior...? ”

- Kuoooo...

The Zombie Warrior picks up the axe and slams it down.

The knight steps back, blocking it with his sword.

I tilted my head toward the knights.

Weaker than I thought.

Is that the only knight who guards the prince?

Or are the paladins of the Holy See strong?

He looked at Barus and said, curious.

“Are you going to watch your men die? ”

Varus' eyes falter. He closes his eyes and shouts.

"I know, Your Royal Highness, Rose Darina! I've been to the Kingdom for diplomacy before! ”

“Where is she? ”

“I don't know, there's no way to know. She came to me only three years ago. I haven't seen him since! ”

“I hear you have Rose, leader of the Rebellion. ”

“Apparently, he's up to something. There's nothing good about taking on Prince Two, Deryan, and dragging in the Holy See! ”

Barus shouts in a hurry.

As he looks at the approaching zombies, his face becomes pale.

You're right.

Prince First, Barus Victoria. He's losing.

Engaging the Second Duke in this situation was not a good choice.

However, as there was status, the Second Imperial Prince Rose was of great use.

They may seek asylum in a foreign country to raise their power, or they may make claims about the imperial succession of the Holy See.

The forces trying to exploit it will be overwhelmed by foot.

There was no law against Varus.

“Ahhhh!”

I looked at the entrance to the inn.

A knight is captured by the zombies, and the axe wielded by the Zombie Warrior is shrugged in shoulders and spurts blood.

Let's do this.

“Very well. The rest of the story can wait. Now..."

It's time to hunt the dead.

Charlotte tilts her head with her expressionless face.

“Do you want to take care of it?”

“No, I'll do it. ”

No sign of the vampire.

If you're just a zombie, you can take it easy.

I summoned the Muskets to exhale.

“Gaia.”

It's been a long time since I prayed.

As soon as I got here, I was lucky to find Varus. Maybe the goddess helped, like they say.

I still don't believe in God.

“Thank you for your love.... ”

Gratitude won't be bad either.

“May God have mercy on the dead. ”

I curl up my mouth and curl up.

[Use novelty.]

[Temporarily advance your equipment.]

[Advance the equipment to grant the 'Speaker’ skill.]

The Musket's muzzle makes a vortex.

I pointed it at the front.

The target is the dead.

Hilda said. As much as the hunt.

“Amen."

Nothing interesting.

* *

At the same time, a monastery on the hill of Lost.

The Gaia statue is decapitated and the blood is dirty around the sacred monastery.

The zombies stand whirling, and Ghoul and Durahan stand firm to defend the monastery.

On top of the speech at the Monastery, there is a monster dressed as a priest.

It looks like a maggot covered in grey leather with thick hands, arms, and body.

He had a face and a mouth like a cog.

The creatures of the Vampire looked like humans, but their ancestors were different.

Strange beyond human limits, that's what they looked like.

Ancestral vampires gnawed on human flesh.

After splitting your stomach and eating your intestines, you raise your head.

Baron Lava Labert.

He was a descendant of the Vampire King who served as the Baron.

“Ah, good. ”

My mouth is covered in blood.

You lift the dead zombie's leg and throw it into the corner.

As the corpse rises into the air, the tamed Lycans bite.

Baron Lava smiles satisfactorily as his flesh cracks and his bones crack.

He looks ahead.

The villagers are gathered as zombies.

They all have tools for farming, civil engineering, hunting bows, etc.

It's lame to call it an army.

‘It doesn't matter.’

Yeah, it doesn't matter.

There are only so many dead that you can lead.

He had only one mission in the first place.

Raising an undead army to slaughter civilians.

Planning an invasion of the Holy See.

He was preparing for it.

"There's no better place to raise troops than in a war-torn country. ’

Despite the disappearance of these forsaken villages, the Kingdom of Rom did not care at all.

Gradually, we can take over the Kingdom of Rome with the rest of the Vampires.

At that time, the door to the monastery opened.

A Lycan approaches.

He bows and opens his mouth.

- La, Baron Lava. There's an intruder in town!

Ravana narrows her eyes in Lycan's report.

It was common for tourists and mercenaries to come to town.

Perfect for growing troops and feeding the dead.

However, it was not important enough to report each.

- Monster. Monster's here.

“Monster?”

Priest!

Priest?

Ravana frowned.

Those filthy, ugly bastards are on their own turf?

“Who are they? ”

- Seven men, one woman.

Baron Ravana narrows his eyes.

Fresh meat. You never know how luscious it will be to covet them.

In particular, a noble priest is also authentic in taste.

They are mistaken for clean.

If you kill them, desecrate their souls and bodies, and turn them into zombies, nothing feels as good as that.

Baron Ravana smiles.

I was bored.

Hunting priests for fun would also be good.

He told Lycan.

“Where are they now? ”

* *

Varus doubts his eyes.

When the Musket launches,

Boom!

An explosion has occurred.

With intense light, the entrance to the inn explodes and collapses.

Rough winds bring the zombies to their knees like boneless molluscs.

- Kuoooooo!

The Zombie Warrior stands firm in shock.

As I moved my feet, shaking my body, my chest, abdomen, arms and legs all burst at the same time.

The slow ringing of the eardrum rings.

Both the upper and lower torso of the Zombie Warrior vanish into ashes.

As the head only rolls, the heavy foot crushes the head.

“... What the hell. ”

The heavy zombie warrior's body evaporates.

Is that it?

The entrance to the inn itself flew away.

What was that? Muskets. Muskets, is that right? ’

The mere ornament that a mere maniac seeks, now powered like a weapon of mass destruction.

Varus stares at the dust with a stiff face.

“Oh, amen was the word I used where I was. ”

Barus was able to see one priest in a dusty wind.

Varus' expression stiffens.

- Amen? - Amen.

That's the first I've heard of it. However, it was instinctively far from the words praising Gaia given by the Holy See.

“Well, it doesn't matter. The use of sexual strength means God likes it too. ”

Towards the dead, the priest boy gives a twisted smile.

It seems the Devil is blinking and sagging his eyes.

“Ahhhh!”

Varus looks away.

Knights struggle in agony at the Inn Fragment.

Looks like you weren't expecting any damage from your allies.

“Hey, you…! ”

Varus takes courage and speaks out.

“What are you doing...! ”

“Don't worry, I don't kill people either. However.”

Raise a long Musket.

You sprayed hot heat from the barrel and aimed for the next target.

“I think I have a hobby of hunting the dead. ”

Christmas fire in the barrel.

The explosion pierces the dead.

The priest makes his move.

Every time a gunshot sounds, the dead vanish.

In the short term, as the clergy boy raises his musket, you even feel the zombies halt.

“Gaia.”

He raised a prayer to worship God again.

“with christmas to pierce the dead. ”

[Gives‘ Shot ’skill.]

“Give me the strength to heal your followers. ”

[Gives‘ Healing ’skill.]

The boy raises the Musket.

You fire a bullet into the air.

Christmas rises high into the sky.

The stiffened zombies begin to move.

He opens his mouth and comes running.

In all directions, hundreds of spheres have been invaded to bite one mighty priest.

“Danger!”

The priest was defenseless.

The knights are also motionless.

There is no one to protect him.

“Hey! Your owner is in danger. What are you so dazed about? ”

Barus yells at Charlotte.

Charlotte looked at Barus and looked up at the sky.

According to her gaze, Varus also looked up at the sky.

The priest boy rolled up his mouth.

“God be with you. ”

At that moment, the Christmas of Light descended from the sky.

Pierce the dead.

Dozens, hundreds of tiny bullets were put down, slaughtering the dead.

The rotten flesh became ashes and disappeared, and the defiled soul was cleansed.

“Ahhhh!”

The knights wrapped their heads.

Varus, too. Bullets that will pierce even the dead.

If you are hit by it, you will also die.

The bullet pierces his body.

The explosion blew.

Zombies vanish, scattering ashes everywhere.

The priest put a Musket on his back and took a step.

“Ahhhh! Die, die. We're going to die. We're through! ”

Varus shouts. He stammers.

But there are no injuries.

Barus sighs and looks at the knights around him.

The pieces of wood that were embedded in the screaming knights' bodies come out and recover without leaving a scar.

Barus opens his eyes.

“Oh my…. ”

Varus did not believe in God.

The power of the clergy was, in fact, exploiting Mana, which was distributed in nature, like the knights.

But now I had to think differently.

God exists, and there are those who practice miracles.

That's ….

“Barus Victoria. ”

Varus looks up, looking at the smiling boy.

“Let's talk slowly. ”

He was a priest right in front of me.
