The Villainess and I, her Zombie Chapter 501

Everyone became speechless.

The massive monster towering over the ruins of the mansion turned their way and its dog-like face twisted with a smile.

"That's... the head looks like it's Gorut, but those monsters don't have actual bodies, it's all head for them...!"

Cranberry - who seemed to be in a state of complete shock - muttered to herself, looking at the sigil monster in front of her.

"This thing looks like some messed up angel-class."

Carambola clenched his fists and looked up at the creature's face.

"One that had run face-first into a wall, that is..."

Persimmon Kabuto smirked, despite being pale as a ghost, and nodded toward the silver-haired gentleman.

The two of them looked at each other before Carambola looked at the red-haired Cranberry.

"My lady, how is lord Zombie's HP?"

He asked, but he obviously meant to ask whether the blue undead is still functioning or was he re-killed.

"It... it is still the same... he didn't take any damage from getting swallowed..."

Cranberry muttered, clenching her fists on the reverse baseball bat scepter so hard that her knuckles turned white.

"How about your master, sir Persimmon?"

To the great surprise of everyone except for Persimmon, the silver-haired gentleman faced him and asked.

The warrior removed a piece of armor from his forearm, revealing a slave crest similar to the one that Mia had on her arm before she got healed and it got removed.

"He is still alive also."

Persimmon confirmed before putting the armor back on.

"Sir Kabuto, I can free you from it if you want. My healing magic reached a level when..."

Luke stepped forward as far as the crimson thread coiling around his waist had allowed him but got stopped by Carambola blocking his way with his hand.

"Sir Persimmon, since both of them got swallowed by that beast, I propose the armistice until we manage to take secure them back."

The old butler spoke in a calm voice.

Persimmon looked between him and the sigil monster - who seemed a bit lost and did not get himself another target as of yet.

"No, but, seriously - I can remove the slave crest from you - there's no need for you to still cling to Dur..."

The healer certainly didn't quite understand the situation and spoke up again, gaining himself a scornful look from both the silver-haired gentleman as well as the red-haired girl who already realized what Carambola was setting up for.

"Young Luke, I appreciate your concern but I swore on my honor to serve master Durian until the day he dies, and I will keep my word. That's how it is and should be anyway."

The armored man shook his head, dismissing the proposition without showing even the slightest bit of interest.

"But as for what you've said, sir Carambola, I am willing to work together until we will both of our patrons back."

Persimmon turned to the silver-haired butler and nodded to him.

"With that in mind, miss Kopia would you mind releasing us from thi..."

"THUNDERSTORM"

*BOOOOM*

But before he could finish his sentence, the red-haired girl next to him finally shook off the initial shock - unfortunately - and it turned out that what was hiding beneath it was pure unadulterated rage.

*BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM*

Immediately following her furious call, the starry sky got covered by a mass of dark clouds and a series of powerful electrical charges rained down upon the sigil monster, hitting the exact same spot as the initial lightning - the very middle of the beast's forehead where the sigil was burning brightly in the darkness.

"Miss!"

"Too early...!"

Both Persimmon and Carambola called out, but it was for naught.

"ERUPTION!"

While the electrical discharges were pelting the sigil monster the red-haired girl has already moved on to another spell, with her whole body glowing with pure white light she pointed her scepter down and suddenly moved it upwards...

*RUMBLE*

*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

With the tremors so powerful that it felt like another beast of the same size would pop up at any time, what actually happened was a pillar of blood-red fire bursting from below the sigil monster's feet and swallowing him whole in a display of a devastating might.

"HEAVENLY SMITE!"

Although the drops of sweat from her forehead were literally flooding her eyes, the red-haired Cranberry continued the chain of spells of which each one was more powerful than the previous one.

****************

The clouded sky opened when a beam of light that looked as if it was shot from the moon fell to the ground, extinguishing the fire and disintegrating everything within the borders of the destroyed mansion, erasing each and every trace of it.

"GIVE ME BACK MY FUCKING HUSBAND, YOU FILTHY FUCKER!"

The heir of the Pride family was being held back by not only Kopia's crimson thread but by Mary, Roan, Mia, and even Luke - and she still would continuously cast spell after spell while swearing like an elf.

"WHO DARES TO...?!"

The light of the heavenly smite had faded, revealing the steaming sigil monster with horrible burns all over - but the injuries that would have killed any other creature all got healed by the time the beast localized the group - the creature frowned and spoke in a low, bellowing voice.

"ARE YOU DEAF YOU FUCKING UGLY AS SHIT BASTARD?! SPIT HIM OUT! VOID'S DESCENT!"

But for some unknown reason, Cranberry, fueled by pure fury was able to not only shout over the sigil monster's words but even make it shut up...

*¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤*

Although, the thing with shutting up might have had more in common with multiple jet black spots appearing all around the monster's huge body, as they all began warping the space around them - and that included the creature's flesh.

*RIIIIIIIP*

"GHRAAAAOOOOUUUUGHHHHHH!"

The monster howled as its gigantic left arm got in between the most number of dark dots and got horned apart bit by bit, releasing a copious amount of red and black smoke.

"Cranberry, stop, you have to watch out for the...!"

Panicked Mary cried out while trying to make the red-haired girl look her way, but what she got in response was...

"PRIMAL THUNDER!"

*crack*

*«¤¿ «¡«¤^¿.«^¿>¤»>^«*

Even calm until that point Kopia went wide-eyed and jumped out of the way when the magic crystal in Cranberry's scepter shattered, causing the space in front of her to break apart and an electrical discharge comparable only to the beam attacks of the titan-class monsters shoot out and pierced right through the sigil Gorut's chest before dispersing against the red and black barrier.

"...gha....!"

The sigil monster looked down at the gaping wound and gasped before falling to its knees, raising its hand. To its chest in disbelief.

"H-how do you like that... you fuck... give me back... my... Zombie..."

Cranberry managed to say before her eyes rolled up and she lost consciousness.

She would have fallen down face-first but she was still being held up by the four other people who did not let her go even when the power of the primal thunder nearly knocked them down.

...though that was mostly thanks to Luke's continuously casting healing skills on everyone near him.

Persimmon stood up from the ground and walked over to Carambola who got thrown to the opposite side by the shockwave of the ridiculously powerful skill.

"...I... I think that I would like to serve this master of yours if I ever get the chance..."

The armored man muttered still in shock while helping the old butler up.

"You are more than welcomed to... but before that, we still have something to deal with."

Carambola took Persimmon's hand gratefully, but as he was up, he tapped the warrior's arm and pointed at the kneeling sigil monster.

"WHAT...?!"

Persimmon turned around and his eyes widened in disbelief.

The red and black smoke that the monster's flesh emitted had been gathering and condensation around the massive wound in the beast's chest, coagulating like a blood scab and closing the injury...!
