Zombie's body got enveloped in a cocoon of light and the list of possible forms had unveiled for him.
Only five? I thought there will be more.
The blue undead scoffed, shrugging his shoulders.
The sealed being scolded him, sounding as if she was frowning at him.
Well... yeah, but the other options are also interesting, don't you think?
Zombie asked with a smirk.
The sealed being sounded as if she pouted and went on to give a quick summary to all options, besides the undead knight, in a grumpy voice.
Aww, I missed hearing you explaining things, you always sound so happy~
The blue undead giggled, making the sealed undead sound as if she backed off blushing heavily.
I chose the undead knight path.
While the sealed being was too busy blushing, Zombie smiled softly to himself and declared.
*clang*
...huh...?
Expecting to hear the sound of the rest of his clothes getting ripped apart, the undead frowned in confusion when instead he heard the sound of metal hitting against metal.
Before he could take a closer look at himself, his vision got flooded by a surge of messages popping up one after the other – of which most of them were very familiar as he saw them for the fourth time.
Still, not all of them were the same.
What is it about the censored skill? Can you see what it is?
Zombie furrowed his brows and asked internally.
The sealed being sounded as if she shook her head and sighed.
Oh, well. Happens, I guess – I just need to rank up and see for myself, right?
The blue undead smirked and the sealed being sounded as if she returned the smile.
While they were talking the cocoon of light enveloping Zombie faded away, returning him to the utterly destroyed battlefield formerly known as the Durian's estate.
Zombie glanced to the side and nodded with satisfaction seeing that Luke was already back on his feet and helping the others who had fallen to the poison of the red and black smoke released by the sigil monster.
He furrowed his brows seeing that Cranberry still hasn't regained her consciousness as her life signature was quite weak, so he started walking towards her as his armor made a distinctive sound.
*pat*
"Marceline, good job out there."
Zombie passed the brown-haired heroine kneeling by the blond-haired prince – who as far as the blue undead could say thanks to his life signature detection skill, was doing completely fine and just using the opportunity to enjoy the lap pillow of the girl moved by his last-minute change of heart – and gently touched her head with his armored hand.
"Eh...? E... EEEEEEHHHHHH?!"
Mary gasped in shock when a towering figure passed her and even patted her head, and had to make a double-take once she realized that it was in fact the Zombie that she knew.
The current rank-up had brought the most changes to the looks of the blue undead thus far.
Though, it might have had the most to do with the simple black armor with a jet-black crystal in the middle of his chest that had appeared on his body on its own.
The jet-black crystal looked similar to the ruby one that Zombie had on his golden shield – still attached to his left arm – so it most likely had some sort of bonus skill, but without any message popping up mentioning it the only thing he could do to learn more was to get it appraised.
The blue undead himself had grown to around seven feet and his face no longer looked like that of a teenager, but of a young handsome man with a fearsome but alluring aura.
For the first time, his hair did not grow out but got shorter - giving him the perfect hairdo for wearing a helmet – which, surprisingly enough did not appear together with the rest of the black armor.
The blue-skinned undead knight kneeled by the unconscious red-haired girl and furrowed his brows in concern.
Hey, this doesn't look good – her life signature is odd... it's like her body is still alive but her mind broke apart... is there something that we can do...?
Zombie asked in concern.
The sealed being sounded as if she furrowed her brows and said slowly.
Hit me.
The blue undead smirked and shrugged his shoulders.
She asked in a soft voice.
Of course I do, did you even try to hide it in the first place?
Zombie smirked and shook his head.
I have no idea how is this possible since your data should have been erased, but you are Cranberry – my Cranberry.
He was trying to sound calm but even his thoughts ended up tense as if he feared that he was wrong.
Cranberry sealed inside of him sounded as if she smiled brightly, and it made the blue undead flinch, as he clenched his hands barely able to hold himself back.
The blue undead straightened his back hearing that question.
What do you mean by mixing...?
He asked slightly concerned.
Cranberry sealed inside of him sounded as if she smirked and started explaining.
She asked sounding concerned.
...do you even have to ask...? I am a piece of shit hypocrite – If there is an option allowing me to get what I want, I will choose it no matter what.
The blue undead's eyes shone with an evil gleam and mouth twisted in a smile of a true villain.
And guess what? I want my lovely psycho back. What should I do?
He thought without even a little bit of doubt or hesitation.
The sealed Cranberry giggled and revealed.
Oh? I don't need to remove the ancient wedding ring...?
Zombie raised his brow and tilted his head with a smile.
The sealed girl sounded as if she shook her head and sighed.
She declared decisively and caused the evil smile of the blue undead to soften.
Well then. Don't mind if I do – my overbearing psycho princess.
Zombie laughed and leaned down over Cranberry's body.
Giggled the sealed Cranberry, right before the pleasantly cool lips of the blue undead connected with the pale lips of the red-haired girl.
