The Villainess and I, her Zombie Chapter 568

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The blue undead appeared in the middle of the landing platform in between two large watchtowers, turning it from a perfect falt ground into a crater very similar to that of a similarly sized meteorite.

"I-identify yourself!"

A human adventurer on the left one called out, drawing a bow while his body shone with an intense white light showcasing that the skill he was using was undoubtedly a tier 3.

"Hmph."

Zombie merely glanced at the guard and scoffed dismissively, standing up and walking towards the wall by the edge of the cliff - a wall that certainly wasn't there the last time he had been in this place, which meant that it could only be a part of the rebuilt village.

In the end, the hub village really was completed during his absence – and judging by the very distinct life signatures moving around behind the structure – Baron and Cranberry safely delivered Cranberry there already.

Needless to say, the blue undead knight was completely ignoring the nervous adventurer aiming the bow at him.

"You...! What do you think you are doing, you fool?! Are you blind?! That's lord Zombie!"

The male minotaur from the right tower shouted in disbelief at the human adventurer...

"What if it's just someone dressing up as him?!"

...it seemed like the human adventurer wasn't convinced by the monster's words since he most certainly didn't lower his weapon and instead seemed to be focusing even more.

"You moron – you are going to get yourself killed!"

The minotaur called out clearly getting angry, but it didn't look like the human adventurer was going to listen to him.

"Shut up, cow – monsters clearly have not enough brains to even consider others using disguises."

The scoff coming from the human adventurer revealed a little bit of a problem – that honestly wasn't unexpected – if you put humans who think of themselves as a superior species, together with intelligent monsters who have better instinct and intuition but learn skills slower, then, of course, humans would not accept the monsters as equals and would want to prove themselves better than them.

...unfortunately for the overconfident human adventurer – the minotaur was absolutely right – in the first place, Kopia sheathed safely in her luxurious scabbard could confirm that even the avatar of Envy would have a hard time stealing and copying the hateful aura surrounding the blue undead who didn't have even the slightest bit of patience to deal with some big-headed guard.

"You! Where do you think you are going!? I told you to identify yourself!"

The human adventurer shouted after the blue undead knight who simply started walking towards the village, completely ignoring the guard's calls.

"...you...! I told you to STOP!"

*SWISH*

The adventurer gritted his teeth and roared unleashing the empowered over that pierced the air with a clear and fearsome whistle – but...

*CLING*

Without even looking in the direction of the attack, the blue undead knight pulled out his sword that shone with white light and reflected the arow right back at the overconfident archer.

"...huh...?"

*crack*

*RIIIIP*

*BOOOOM*

Zombie's reflect was on such a high level that it didn't simply return the attack – it increased its power by three times – the arrow ended up coming back, breaking the adventurer's bow, tearing through his hand and chest, and blowing off a large part of the tower's roof – all in a single strike before disappearing into the distance like a shooting star.

A message showed up for the blue undead knight who didn't even stop to look at the damages he has done and instead shook his head to make the window fade away faster, before returning Kopia to her scabbard.

The minotaur from the right tower trembled and hurriedly got down, only daring to peek at the blue undead knight below, half-expecting to also get killed merely because he was assigned on the duty together with the impudent human adventurer – but the minotaur was lucky – Zombie certainly didn't the tiniest speck of interest – or ill will – against those who didn't stand in his way.

Still – the partial destruction of one of the watchtowers certainly did stir up the entire village – even the life signatures of Cranberry, Baron, and Blueberry seemed to be moving around in unrest – which only made Zombie more concerned and caused him to hasten his step.

He was around halfway towards the wall surrounding the rebuilt village when the gate opened up and someone showed up – this time it was someone with a more recognizable life signature...

...and appearance...

"A criminal always returns to the scene of the crime!"

The female centaur, Coconut – in full armor together with her massive tower shield burst fo the shining with a violet light that looked exactly like the light of superbia, and charged straight at the blue undead knight with a battle cry that caused the blue undead to raise his brow.

"...thick-headed girl's are cute – but I am not under that filth's influence anymore..."

Zombie scoffed while the armored centaur gained a tremendous amount of speed in an instant – but for the blue undead knight, she could have been standing completely still.

When his own body shone violet and he gained four-times Coconut's speed stat, the world around him literally slowed down.

He had plenty of time to summon a golden shield upon his left arm and prepare for the impact – or rather for intercepting it...

"Eh...?! My lord?!"

In the fraction of a second before the tower shield of the armored centaur clashed with the golden shield of the blue undead knight, Coconut managed to take a peek at the being she was attacking and let out a shocked yelp.

"Why don't you..."

Zombie scoffed back at her and...

*BOOOOOOOM*

"LOOK AT YOUR TARGET BEFORE YOU ATTACK, IDIOT?!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Thir shields smashed against each other but even with all the power gained thanks to her inborn skill, Coconut lost the clash and was sent flying by the extremely annoyed Zombie.

Centaurs aren't made to fly – but surprisingly even with all the armor she had on, Coconut soared through the sky all the way back to the village where...

"MORON!"

...Pawpaw the black and green arachne called out, unleashing an enormous amount of webbing that created a safety net that managed to intercept the armored centaur before she crashed against the ground.

"You alright...?"

Pawpaw jumped onto her web and made her way towards the entangled Coconut.

"...nooo... I made our lord angry..."

The armored centaur cried pitifully in shame.

"I meant your body, moron."

Pawpaw sighed and shook her head.

"...N-no – but my shield on the other hand..."

Coconut shook her head before raising her tower shield – that turned into a crescent form where it got hit by the golden shield.

"Zombie!"

Cranberry passed under the two monster girls and ran up to the annoyed blue undead.

"First some living piece of shit thinks that he can shoot me in the back, and then even the idiot I personally piked out is attacking me head-on shouting about criminals – what is going on?"

Zombie breathed out and slouched – unintentionally making an extremely threatening pose, that caused even Cranberry to flinch and stop in place.

"...the Dandelions... while we were gone someone kidnapped the Dandelions..."

The red-haired girl clenched her fists so hard that her knuckles turned white.

"What?! How many they got?!"

Zombie straightened his back and called out in shock.

"...all four except for Lairs, of course..."

Cranberry lowered her head in shame and revealed.

"...Zombie, Caramel made a fool out of me – she definitely wants to activate and complete all of the quests as soon as possible – she wants to force the global quest and the game script to end..."

The red-haired took a deep breath and looked up at her blue undead knight.

"...and I'm afraid that there is nothing that we can do to stop her...."
