Chapter 365 – No More Zombies
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The orcs and ogres were pierced by the ice and their legs frozen.
Their lower halves couldn’t move. However, they were struggling like crazy to get free.
They held large, metal clubs in their hands, probably given to them by the wholesaler.
Cruz was about to slash into them when she saw Vi-Vi’s magic take effect.
「Wow, some magic, Vi-Vi!」
「Hah! Not enough to kill them though.」
「Well, they are zombies. Cutting their heads off works the quickest.」
「Okay then.」
So Cruz quickly jumped around, dodging, and cut off their heads.
At the same time, you could smell the rotting flesh.
「MAN, zombies stink!」
「Moo moo!」
「ryaa! Ryaaa!」
I had said, and the animals agreed with me.
『Smells terrible.』
Femm said, as Femm and Yureena both clenched their noses.
「We can’t burn them here. We need to get them outside and burn them. We’ll leave that to you, Cruz.」
「Sure!」
「So I froze all the heads and bodies of the zombies. You just can’t let that smell spread.
Then, we got some boxes from the merchants to carry them.
It was easier to use magic, but not in town…you can’t show everyone.
I was always careful not to show my magic too quickly.
「Moofy, help us too!」
「Moo!」
Femm changed off with holding the wholesaler down, and Moofy carried the bodies.
She was so strong she was almost able to carry all the bodies at once, but there weren’t enough boxes. So we had to make three trips.
We piled all the bodies up in preparation for the fire, when Vi-Vi said, 「I thought we killed all the zombies around here. Why are there so many?」
「It’s sad to say, but, I think the Demon Lord used them to guard himself.」
「That’s a good possibility. I think we should ask the wholesaler.」
So we got the final heads and bodies on the stack.
「First we need to ask Luka about this.」
「Okay, Al…」
Then I helped Vi-Vi with the disposal of the bodies.
Even though they were magical monsters, it was still sad they were zombified.
We burned their bodies while having silence for the dead.
After burying all the ash that was left, we returned to Cruz.
Seems that Millia had finished selling things as well.
The merchants had seen the wholesaler punished and were now at ease.
The transactions went smoothly from then.
While this was going on, Femm had its paw on the head of the wholesaler.
He had given up trying to run and was now pretty obedient.
Luka arrived from the guild, so I asked, 「Luka, did you come to see what was happening?」
「Actually, some merchants ran in the guild, begging for help.」
They probably had scrambled when the wholesaler blew that whistle.
Leah and Leo were outside town on a quest, so only Luka had come.
「I am glad that they came to the guild when they felt in danger.」
Luka said with a smile.
「Luka, they WERE beasts that had been zombified.」
I said as I took out one zombie’s head from my magic bag that I kept for her.
「Thanks. I’ll check it out.」
After that Cruz tied the wholesaler up and asked, 「Al, what do we do with him?」
「I guess we should give him to the new agent.」
「It’s going to take a while for her to get here.」
「Maybe up to three weeks if she goes slowly.」
「So we need a place to shut him up.」
There was a jail here in Elkay, but there was no guard.
After thinking a bit, Cruz said, 「…I guess we should just leave him tied up? Could we let adventurer’s guild take care of it?」
「No…but there is a cage that we keep captured beasts in…」
It was at the guild, but for the adventurers to keep quest beasts in.
Or at least, that was what it was made for.
「Then we’ll put him there.」
After deciding that, I said to the wholesaler, 「Did you get those zombies from the Demon Lord?」
「Hmph!」
Still didn’t want to talk.
「Femm?」
「GAOOOOO!」
Femm growled loudly straight into his face, with a little magical power interlaced.
「Eeeeep!」
With Femm being that close, the wholesaler passed out quickly.
「If he’s that weak, then he should have just talked. Resisting is pointless.」
Luka said with a sigh.
Millia and Yureena were frowning at him too.
「Yureena, wake him up.」
「Okay.」
She stepped up beside him and dropped some water on his face.
「Don’t need magic for this…」
「Good job!」
「Heh heh」
Cruz complimented her, and Yureena blushed.
「AH! Eeeeep!」
The guy woke up and started shaking.
「I have something to ask you…」
「Grrrr…」
After I said that, Femm growled.
「Y…yes! Anything you want!」
He was pale, but nodded over and over.
Femm was big, so Femm struck fear into strangers.
