The Villainess and I, her Zombie - Chapter 582: The Secret Quests (part 8)

“Tehehe! That’s what I’m talking about – oh – but make sure to not die – Caramel needs you to complete the Lusts special quest, remember?”

Helly giggled and danced above the ashen undead’s head.

“Call her priestess, you ungrateful spirit! And if you don’t want me to die then let’s fight the dragon together! The heroine and the two capture targets need to survive an hour or everything is ruined – let’s just kill the dragon and end it early!”

Lovie called out and lunged forward making use of the cover of the barrage of spells sent out by the system’s faith church’s mages stationed behind her.

“…hmmm… fine…”

The orange glowing fairy bounced a few times before deciding on its next move and…

“BLUEEEEERGH…!”

…it let out a gargling noise as if someone was vomiting, and immediately after that, a massive two-handed sword imbued with death element fell out of the orange light – but it didn’t fall down to the ground – instead it rose up as if the tiny glowing fairy was wielding the comically oversized weapon… because that was exactly what was happening…

“You guy’s better not slow down on the spells or if we lose I will tell your priestess that it was because of you!”

Helly danced in the air dragging the massive sword behind it and called out to the mages who became pale and instantly increased the number of spells they were shooting out.

“Tehehe!”

The fairy giggled and pounced happily – before it launched straight at Baron who was about to unleash a breath attack onto the remaining forces of the church of the system’s faith that appeared out of nowhere and knocked him out of the sky.

“…?!”

*SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING*

Helly zipped right past the ashen undead knight, outspending her with ease, and delivered a full-on roundhouse slash right at the dragon’s neck, aiming to chop his head off in one clean swipe.

*SHIIIIIII-KHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGH*

“!!!!!!!!”

Baron noticed the fairy and he instantly canceled the skill, deciding to counter the blade with his claws – while also intending to rip the odd orange fly together with it while he was at it – but to his extreme surprise the blade of the death attribute sword cut straight through his two claws and ended up embedding itself the third one.

“Ah, shucks!”

The orange glowing fairy called out in a fit of childish anger and…

“BLEEEEEEUURGHHHHHHH!”

Immediately vomited another sword for itself – this one crackling with the electrical discharges.

“How about this o-”

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

The fairy giggled and asked – but then it was engulfed in the beam of concentrated fire that turned the thunder sword into a puff of smoke in a flash.

“SHIT! HELLY!”

The ashen undead knight called out in panic and gritted her teeth, glaring at the red dragon.

“YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS, YOU OVERGROWN LIZARD!”

She called out and slashed at the dragon’s torso.

“(Back off or you will perish too!)”

Baron sent out a telepathic message and twisted his massive body with a shocking grace and speed, countering the ice sword with the tip of his tail.

*SMASH*

“GUAAAAAAAAAH…!”

Lovie’s weapon shattered into tiny particles and she was sent back flying.

“(Told you.)”

Baron scoffed breathing loudly through his nostrils, glaring down at the fallen female undead.

“…idiot – I’m not the loser here…!”

Lovie scoffed, crawling back up while smirking triumphantly.

“(Huh…?)”

Boron gasped in confusion when…

*crumble*

“(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)”

A massive part of his tail that got turned into ice after destroying the sword cracked and shattered, leaving the stunned red dragon staring in disbelief at the ice slowly climbing up the wound, taking over more and more of his body.

“Tehehe! Yo! Dragon! Why did it sound like you thought that I was dead?”

“(?!?!?!?!!?!)”

To add insult to injury – a high-pitched voice called out, revealing that the orange spirit didn’t perish just like the sword that it voimited and…

“That was tasty – it felt like it could actually fill me up here – you should try it yourself! BLUEEEEEEEE…!”

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

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

“GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUURRRRGGHHHHHHHHHH!”

Helly laughed happily and vomited out the exact same breathe attack that Baron shot at it a moment ago and hit the red dragon square in the face with it, causing Baron to roar in pain and stumble back as red scales and crimson blood splashed everywhere around.

“You…! You’re alive?!”

The ashen undead gasped, staring wide-eyed at the ball of orange light bouncing in the air in a dance-like motion.

“Aww! Lovie! You were worried about me~! Also – I heard you calling me Helly~! Tehehe! I love you too~!”

The remnant of the abyss god hummed happily zipping straight to the ashen undead knight and started dancing around her head.

“Sh-shut up! Mages! Finish off the dragon – a remnant of Hell and I will go round up the heroine and capture targets like the priestess have asked us to…”

*CHOMP*

*RIIIIIIP*

Lovie turned away from the orange glowing fairy and shouted at the members of the church of the system’s faith forces – when suddenly she heard the most disturbing sound of flesh being torn apart, closely followed by the blast of hot air against he back.

“…?”

She slowly turned around just to see the massive fangs of the red dragon bisecting the comparatively tiny body of a humanoid fairy.

“…L-Lovie… I messed up… r-run…”

This time there was no joy in Helly’s voice – after the message given with its last breath, the tiny remnant of the abyss god turned into the particles of orange light and dispersed into the air, leaving no trace of its existence whatsoever.

“H-Helly…?”

The ashen undead knight gasped staring wide-eyed at the fangs – and at the red light behind them growing more and more intense…

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

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

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Lovie managed to dodge the breath attack at the last possible second – which couldn’t be said about the mages working for the church of the system’s faith, who died in the scorching flames of Baron’s skill – but was still pushed far away by the shockwave.

*SLAM*

“GHUAGH…! Fuck…! Fuck…! ”

She growled after smashing onto the ground, but it was obvious that she couldn’t just stay in the same place like a sitting duck – so Lovie cursed in panic and crawled back up activating the life signature detection skill and running towards the signature of the heroine and the capture targets that were still necessary for completing the plan…

“Fuck…! Fuck…!”

Lovie growled, putting all of her skills to use – which included creating an ice armor around her own armor and sending out tens of ice sculpture copies of herself as a distraction.

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

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

“(ARION! IT’S BAD – WORSE THAN BAD! WE LOST HELLY! WE LOST ALL MAGES! I WILL GET OUR TARGETS SO BE READY TO GET US OUT OF HERE!)”

Baron’s eyes hurt by the regurgitated attack of the orange glowing fairy still didn’t heal up so the red dragon relied on the scent and vibration to aim his next attack – but those were easily fooled by the ice decoys allowing the ashen undead knight to activate a long-range communication skill and contact her ally.

“[What?! I just used the spell to get the griffin out of there – do you have any idea how much mana it costs?!]”

The confused voice of the man on the other side of the spell clearly showed that he wasn’t taking the situation seriously.

“(SHUT THE FUCK UP AND BE READY TO GET US OUT OF HERE – REMNANT OF THE DRAGON GOD, WAR IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAMPAGE AND IF YOU WON’T HELP ME YOUR FUCKING HEROINE WILL DIE BEFORE YOU COULD GET YOUR WAY WITH HER!)”

Lovie roared in her mind, looking back at her rapidly decreasing copies being decimated by the trashing dragon.

“[…]”

Because of the heavy silence, the ashen undead knight thought that the man that the priestess of the church of the system’s faith helped break the curse of starvation and even made him the avatar of gluttony would refuse to help her out…

“[Fine – just make sure to grab all of them – I really don’t have enough mana to use on multiple separate targets – get them all together and tell me when to get you.]”

“…oh, thank the fucking system…!”

Thankfully, her worries didn’t come to fruition as Arion responded in a serious voice.

“(WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING, ICE UNDEAD?)”

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

A telepathic message that Lovie certainly didn’t want to hear ended up sending chills down her spine despite the fact that she was both an undead and an ice-magic user – one glance over her shoulder was enough to confirm that the red dragon’s eyes were almost completely healed – and he was glaring straight at her…!

But at the same time, only a wall surrounding the former Wraths mansion was separating her from the heroine and the capture targets – who were luckily gathered in a group looking as if they were discussing their options amongst themselves and some other people.

“FUCK YOU!”

*SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

*CRACKLE*

“GHRAAAAAAAAOOOOOOUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!”

Lovie growled, jumping over the wall and launching the most powerful freezing spell right at the massive dragon – hitting him square in the chest and stalling his movement at the cost of increasing his wrath by several magnitudes…

“What the…?!”

“!!!!”

“!!!”

“HUH?!”

“EH?!”

“Wha…!?”

Seeing the flying ashen undead knight the people gathered behind the wall let out shocked gasps, while the undead herself…

“(ARION, NOW!)”

Dropped onto them, unceremoniously grabbing onto the heroine’s brown hair while also wrapping her legs around the white-haired capture target and catching the blond capture target shirt’s collar with her teeth and…!

*CHOMP*

“GRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

…the sound of jaws clapping together resounded through the area and the entire group disappeared from the area just in time to escape the outburst of blood-red light that engulfed the entire city and spread out swallowing one-third of the entire Wraths territory in its devastating blast that broke the earth apart and caused an enormous earthquake that could be felt form thousands of miles away….
