《Haslea Side》
ㅤ
Meanwhile, Prince Momok was turned into a zombie by the Corpse Demon King・Rotten Princess.
The woman responsible for trapping the crown prince and causing terrible harm to Kyrie. . . . . .Haslea.
ㅤ
She was released from house arrest in the Beast Kin country and had returned to the capital of the Geta・Niega Kingdom.
She escaped trouble by putting all the blame on Momok.
ㅤ
Now.
As Haslea was indulging in a nap in her room. . . . . .
ㅤ
“S, Saint Haslea-sama! It’s terrible! A horde of monsters!”
“Huh. . . . . .? Monsters?”
ㅤ
She glares at the priest from the church who came to call her.
ㅤ
“Surely, the barrier protecting the city will stop them?”
“But they’ve broken through the barrier. Easily, like tearing paper.”
“Eh. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
What is this. . . . . .?
They broke through the city’s protective barrier. . . . . .?
ㅤ
“Don’t lie. My barrier?”
“It’s true! The capital is in terrible trouble, being attacked by grotesque creatures!!!!!!”
ㅤ
She couldn’t believe it at first.
It was unthinkable that monsters could break through the monster-repelling barrier.
ㅤ
“Saint Haslea-sama! Please, lend us your power!”
“Ugh. . . . . .Fine. I’ll help you, insignificant beings.”
ㅤ
Though Haslea said this, inwardly, she thought it was an opportunity.
She didn’t know what kind of monster it was, but if she drove them away, her reputation would surely rise.
ㅤ
Haslea had messed up in the Beast Kin country (knowing that she couldn’t cure the queens illness, she continued to perform futile treatments).
Because of this, the people’s distrust towards Haslea had grown.
ㅤ
This was a chance to remove the stigma that Kyrie was a greater saint than Haslea.
ㅤ
“Hmph. . . . . .Kyrie. People in the Beast Kin country thought she was better, but I don’t accept that! I didn’t actually see her heal anyone, after all. . . . . .!”
ㅤ
Despite all that had happened, Haslea still didn’t doubt that she was superior to Kyrie.
ㅤ
A little later.
She heads towards the city entrance. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Wh. . . . . .what. . . . . .is this. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
A terrible sight awaited her.
The people of the capital were all wounded and fallen.
ㅤ
Screams and the cries of children echoed all around.
ㅤ
“Are you. . . . . .okay. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
She speaks to a merchant-like man who had collapsed nearby.
But he had already passed away.
ㅤ
The same was true for the others around.
Moreover, the corpses were severely damaged.
ㅤ
Bodies without arms, without legs.
Corpses with heads ripped open, or heads half-missing.
ㅤ
“Ugh. . . . . .Ugghhhhhhhhhhh!”
ㅤ
Haslea involuntarily vomits.
Faced with this unbearable situation, she could do nothing.
ㅤ
“What. . . . . .is this. . . . . .?”
“Saint-sama. . . . . .”
ㅤ
A knight, who had lost an arm, comes over.
ㅤ
“Please. . . . . .heal. . . . . .I don’t care about me. . . . . .please help the people of the city. . . . . .”
ㅤ
The armless knight approaches and says.
ㅤ
“I can’t. . . . . .”
“Why. . . . . .why not. . . . . .?”
“Why not? Can’t you see! They’re all dead!!!!”
ㅤ
Everyone lying down was dead, their bodies severely damaged, clearly beyond help.
Even with the saint’s healing power, the dead couldn’t be revived.
ㅤ
“But. . . . . .”
“It’s impossible, what’s impossible is impossible! Leave the dead be! Where are the monsters? I’ll drive them away with a barrier!”
ㅤ
Indeed. . . . . .It’s strange.
Despite the bodies scattered everywhere, there was no sign of the monsters that presumably caused this tragedy.
ㅤ
“The monsters. . . . . .?”
“That’s right! Monsters! Where are they? Hurry up and guide us, you slacker!”
ㅤ
The jaw of the knight who lost his arm. . . . . .
Fell to the ground with a thud. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Ah! Ahhhhh! Ah, ah, ah, your jaw! It came off. . . . . .!!! What is this?!”
ㅤ
Upon closer inspection, the person in front of her was not a living human.
The eyes were cloudy white.
ㅤ
The parts of the face had rotted away, and the appearance of it growling. . . . . .was not human.
ㅤ
“M, Monster. . . . . .!!!! Stay away!”
ㅤ
Swiftly, Haslea extended her hand, and invoked sacred magic.
ㅤ
“Be, Begone, Spirit Light!”
ㅤ
It is a holy light magic that eradicates monsters of the undead type, such as ghosts or ghouls.
It’s the most powerful light magic that saint Haslea can use.
ㅤ
“Disappear, monster! In the face of my holy light!”
ㅤ
A dazzling light envelops the surroundings. . . . . .
But. . . . . .however.
ㅤ
“Ughhhhh! It hurts! It hurts so much!”
“Why? Why doesn’t it disappear?!”
ㅤ
Despite receiving the confident magic unleashed by Haslea, the knight who had become a zombie was still spry.
Far from it. . . . . .
ㅤ
“It hurts! Disgusting! Serves the saint right!”
ㅤ
The zombie cried out, and the fallen corpses all got up at once.
ㅤ
“Saint. . . . . .””Is the saint here?. . . . . .””Heal us. . . . . .”
ㅤ
The knights and people of the royal capital had all become zombies.
And they approached, seeking the saint.
ㅤ
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
ㅤ
Before the horde of grotesque monsters, Haslea could only cry out and scream.
She turned on her heels and ran towards the city center.
ㅤ
“Ahh. . . . . .””Uhh. . . . . .””Wahh. . . . . .”
ㅤ
A large number of zombies were attacking.
And they all ran with incredible speed.
ㅤ
“Kyaa!”
ㅤ
Haslea’s arm was caught by a zombie.
All at once, the remaining zombies swarmed her, and she was captured.
ㅤ
“No! Nooooooo! Let go! Let go of meeeeeee!”
ㅤ
The horde of zombies caught Haslea, and everyone reached out to touch her body.
ㅤ
“It hurts. . . . . .””I’m suffering. . . . . .””Help me. . . . . .saint. . . . . .”
ㅤ
ㅤ
The citizens of the royal capital all knew how incredible the saint was.
A remarkable existence that could heal any injury or disease.
ㅤ
“Heal me. . . . . .””I don’t want to be a zombie. . . . . .””saint-sama. . . . . .”
“I can’t heal you! You’re all dead!!!!”
ㅤ
As Haslea raised her voice, the zombies stopped moving.
Then. . . . . .they changed from seeking salvation to. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Heal. . . . . .””If you can’t heal, then kill. . . . . .””We’ll make you one of us. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Haslea was pushed to the ground by the zombies.
ㅤ
“No! Noooooooo! Stop! Stop itttttttttt!”
ㅤ
She spewed fluids from her face, crying out disgracefully.
Surrounded by unimaginable monsters, immobilized, and hated by all. . . . . .
ㅤ
While urinating in tears. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Noooooooooooo! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
ㅤ
She was swallowed by the horde of zombies, screaming in absolute terror.
