The Villainess and I, her Zombie Chapter 318

Is that supposed to happen...?

Zombie asked, slowly approaching the weapon with great caution.

Patience gasped and sounded as they jumped up in excitement.

You need to give me more details. Why exactly is this situation lucky...?

The boy tilted his head, calming down a lot despite his words full of suspicion.

Patience explained full of awe.

They encouraged Zombie sounding as if they had a great big smile plastered all over their face.

...so it's a feature and won't bring Eternal after our heads...?

Zombie asked cautiously before reaching for the shining sword that for some reason appeared as if it was very exciting to be picked up... as weird as that sounds...

Patience sounded as if they were pouting a bit over Zombie's lack of faith in them, but explained things nonetheless.

Zombie shrugged his shoulders and picked up the sword.

It had the proper weight while both feeling and looking just as a bastard sword should be.

But that had brought a bit of problem too.

*swoosh* *swoosh* *swoosh*

With how it was now, the sword wasn't too comfortable for Zombie to use – it was a sword so with sword mastery – a stronger version of sword affinity – at level 1, he could use it without any trouble, but as he made a few practice moves he found himself a lot slower than he would like to.

The attacks were undoubtedly more powerful with the additional weight and length, but with how Zombie was now, he simply preferred to overwhelm his opponents with speed...

"Could have use something shorter... like the dagger I used to hunt with back in the village.."

Zombie furrowed his brows.

"Master! I help!"

As if reading his mind the bastard sword vibrated in his hand creating an odd sound that turned into words while simultaneously a few hair-like crimson-like strings sprouted from its pommel and wrapped around Zombie's forearm all the way to his shoulder.

Patience sounded as if they smirked while shrugging their shoulders with a bit of disappointment.

Hmmm? And why would I be worried, you just told me that there is nothing to worry about.

Zombie responded while actually smirking and shrugging his shoulders.

Patience gasped and stuttered while simultaneously sounding really embarrassed but happy at the same time.

While the two of them were having a conversation, the bastard sword in Zombie's sword twisted and turned until it changed into a long dagger that Zombie was using during his fight with the demon centipede.

Patience shook of the fluffy feeling and pointed out taken aback just a little bit.

*shiiing* *shiiing* *shiiing* *shiiing* *shiiing*

"Interesting~"

Zombie hummed while testing out the transformed weapon.

It looks like the long dagger, but weights exactly the same, and I can bet you that it has the same durability too – the only thing that changed is the appearance.

He thought to himself with a smirk.

"Kopia, you are connected to me with those, aren't you?"

Zombie raised the long dagger and asked while pointing at the red strings.

"Only a little bit... I only look at what weapon you want, master. Don't be angry..."

The blade vibrated and let out the same odd sound that formed into words.

Patience exclaimed in exasperation.

"I'm not angry, don't worry. Now, tell me- you can change in whatever weapon I'll think of?"

Zombie shook his head from left to right and posed a curious question.

"Yes. But it will be only as strong as the weapons I've already eaten."

Kopia answered by making its blade vibrate at a high frequency.

"Oh? And how can you be so sure about that part?"

Zombie raised his brows.

"Eh...? I shouldn't know that...? Why...?"

Kopia answered with pure confusion on its part.

Patience hummed sounding just as confused as the weapon in Zombie's hand.

"Nevermind that. Can you really change into whatever sword or bladed weapon that I want?"

Zombie decided to let go of his precious question and just asked another.

"I can try!"

Kopia vibrated enthusiastically and became completely still.

"...master, what should I changed into...?"

After a few seconds of awkward silence, Kopia asked sounding really embarrassed.

"Ah! Sorry! I should have concentrated on a particular weapon, right?

Patience instructed the boy as if it was a proper game tutorial.

"Let's give you a challenge..."

Zombie smirked and closed his eyes, focusing on a particular weapon that he never actually had in hand and instead only seen it through the screen...

Patience peeked at his thoughts and sounded as if they were nodding with a mixed feeling.

Shhh... don't disturb me for a moment.

Zombie ended shushing them and opened his eyes...

...and see that what he was holding is no longer a long dagger but a weapon that could hardly be called a sword, it was far longer, thicker, and cruder than any other blade – no matter how one looked at it, it seemed like nothing more than a hulking mass of metal...

...with the only exception that in Zombie's hand, it didn't weigh any more than the bastard sword – and it was exactly as durable too.

"Patience... remember when you said that we don't really need money?"

Zombie asked looking in awe at the weapon that looked like it could tear through even the fiercest of demons.

Patience sounded as if they nodded reluctantly.

"I think I must go against you about it... I'm going to feed Kopia with the best swords that money can buy... It's earning time...!"

Zombie spoke with a dreamy voice while gently patting the enormous blade that was multiple times his whole height.
