The Villainess and I, her Zombie

Chapter 50: Dragon madness

Pineapple and Grape didn't even have time to properly react.

Before any of them could either ran away or even try to look inside the cell, the door exploded and a blue leg crushed Pineapple's head and without stopping, it swiped at Grape's legs, and broker them like dry twigs.

"GHAHAH!"

Grape shouted almost biting off his tongue in the process.

From the dust that raised from the inside of the cell, a blue monster walked out.

What the two butlers locked inside was a small tied-up undead blue boy looking like a ten-year-old, wearing fancy clothes and knee-high boots on high hills.

What came out was an unbound 6'2 half-naked undead, with dark blue skin and muscles so well defined that one could grate a wheel of cheese on his abs; with black hair extending to his shoulder blades and black eyes glowing with horrifying dark red light.

"W-wait...! I-I-I'm just a slave it's all Durian's fault! I was just...!"

Grape was trying to crawl away, he extended his hand and was attempting to talk to the undead beast.

But the beast did not bother to listen.

The massive undead simply stomped his foot on Grape's body and the butler's head popped off like a bottle cap.

/ 2/73

The blue monster frowned and walked to the door leading back upstairs.

/Access denied

/Revenge quest in progress

Kill all the enemies in your current location in order to progress

But as he reached for it, one of the system's invisible walls blocked his way.

"Graough...! (How dare you stop me from returning to my master...!)"

He roared and with his body glowing from all kinds of skills he delivered a devastating blow at the invisible wall.

*CRACK*

The invisible wall remained intact, but the same couldn't be said about the actual walls of the basement.

With a loud noise, they all started crumbling and the ceiling caved in.

"Nooo!"

"Why...?!"

"AAAAAAGH...!"

/ 3/73

/ 4/73

/ 7/73

/ 11/73

As the upper floors were being leveled with the basement, the dying cries of the weakest slaves pierced through the rumble.

The blue undead shrugged off the dust and tried to open the door again, but the invisible wall remained in place.

"U-ugh...!"

"Ow... ow... What happened...?"

The debris behind his back moved and few people stood up looking shocked and confused.

*CRUNCH*

In the next moment, the chest of one of them caved in under the undead's foot.

"Graough?! (Why is this a revenge quest?!) GRAOUGH?! (WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MASTER?!)"

Zombie roared and started obliterating the confused survivors.

Of course, the commotion that he caused only brought more opponents towards him, so when he finally got out of the basement the quest counter was at / 34/73 and he and his master leveled up more than once.

It's worth adding that the invisible wall blocking the door upstairs didn't disappear and instead pointed him to the mansion's courtyard.

There, a single opponent was waiting for him.

A tall man in fancy ceramic-like armor wielding a katana.

"My name is Persimmon Kabuto! Foolish undead who attempts to harm my master, I swear on my honor that I will defeat you here!"

He shouted preparing to unsheathed his weapon.

Zombie didn't even spare him a single glance, he was too busy staring at the mansion with glowing eyes.

"I've fought countless undead before and I've mastered how to slay your kind! Yet killing you isn't my master's wish! I'll give you one chance! Retreat, or die!"

Persimmon shouted and his body started shining threateningly, then a ring of purple fire appeared underneath his feet and crackled demonically.

Yet even despite that display, the blue undead hadn't acknowledged the warrior's presence.

Which greatly irked the man.

Zombie continued walking towards him while staring at the mansion as if he was carefully examining the walls.

*SHING*

The blade had sung and Persimmon's katana's guard clicked against the sheath.

After a single heartbeat of delay half of Zombie's right arm fell on the grass, cut off exactly at the elbow alongside the red stitches.

"If you dare to take another step, your head will be ne...!"

Persimmon threatened but Zombie did take another step even before the man finished his sentence.

"...so be it...!"

Persimmon gritted his teeth and attacked with lightning speed.

*SHI-clang!*

The katana stopped at Zombie's neck unable to even penetrate into the blue skin.

Instead, it was the blade that got damaged and chipped.

"Th-that's impossi...!"

*splash*

Persimmon gasped but once again, his sentence got interrupted.

This time with the sound of his own guts hitting the ground once Zombie's foot destroyed his armor and made his stomach explode.

/ 35/73

Zombie flinched, he finally found what he was looking for.

There it was, a life signature that matched his master's on the second floor.

It looked like there were three other living beings in the same room as her.

One of them was strong.

"GRAOUGH! (MASTER!)"

His roar pierced the air and he lunged forward with enough power to create a large crater in the middle of the courtyard.

*CRASH*

Yet he was intercepted mid-flight and got slammed back into the ground.

"Tsk, that undead shit got Persimmon pretty bad, Luke, will you be able to heal him...?"

A tall dark-skinned woman let go of her mace and straightened her back atop Zombie's body, without removing the heavy weapon from his head.

She was looking back at the short, scrawny-looking teenager with overconfident eyes.

"No such luck, Mia, for whatever reason, the system is blocking both the revive and my heal skills on anyone killed by that undead."

The teenager named Luke frowned and spat to the side.

"The system must have given this fucker some weird quest..."

He scoffed and shrugged.

"...bastard...!"

Mia cursed and reached for her weapon to pick it up and deliver another strike.

"MIA! RUN!"

The teenager shouted a panicked warning but was too late.

As soon as Mia's grip closed on the handle, Zombie's body, which never stopped shining, bent like a scorpion's tail, and before the woman could react, the half of her skull was already blown off by blue feet.

"MIA! HEAL!"

The teenager shouted and his hands shone with green light.

*SPLAT*

...or rather they were supposed to, but at that moment they've turned into mincemeat on the ground.

Without even growling at him, Zombie delivered another mortifying kick, this time on Luke's head, erasing it from existence.

Zombie turned back not waiting for the corpse to hit the ground and...

"..."

He stopped, realizing that no message popped up for that kill.

"I cannot be killed off like that!"

He looked back just in time to witness the completely intact teenager reach towards him with glowing hands.

"Eat holy magic and die, bastard! For Mia!"

Luke shouted and touched Zombie's back with his palms.

A pillar of light engulfed the undead and shoot up piercing the sky.
