Chapter 98 – Zombie Parade

“Whoa… Whoa…”
“See, if we unite our faith, there is no trial we cannot overcome.”

Elise said triumphantly. To be honest, I’m glad I won, but the feeling of winning is strong because the flash golem mob is a mob that is an asshole. A body shape that is not balanced in a rotten body. And slow movements. It was a monster that even skilled warriors could hunt enough.

“Then how do you deal with this…”

Even with both legs amputated, the golem was struggling with her arms. I was unable to get up because there were many problems with my body structure.

But killing it is a different story. When aiming for the head, it was completely exposed to attacks from both arms. It was too dangerous. First of all, it seems that you need to aim for the head or chest to kill. That’s the problem.

We put our heads together
After thinking for a while, Copson took out an oil bottle.

“There was this, yes.”

The three of us laughed.

ㅡHurt!

Two bottles of oil were sprinkled on them, and firewood was thrown at them, causing the flames to soak. The rotten me vibrated. The flesh golem’s ass burned like that, and the hips, spine, and internal organs were roasted to a dark color.

“Light Bolt!”

ㅡPergung!

The blown sphere of light exploded and added firepower. He recovered his divine power by drinking the holy water in his canteen and meditating. The sword struck the half-burnt side, and the rotating intestines burst out.

The flesh golem didn’t move anymore.
It was also right that evil things should be purified with fire.

“The supreme divinity always triumphs.”

Elise, who was staring at the burning flesh golem’s body with eyes like that of a high-class arsonist, muttered softly.

“Now, let’s begin the ritual. We must dedicate this victory to the Order.”
“Yes?”

Elise instructed us to circle around the body of the flesh golem. He said it with such a serious expression that Copson and I had no choice but to obey. Each of us took our positions in three directions, and we rotated around the corpse.

Round, round.
Round, round.

Let’s go round and round and dance.

While spinning like that, Elise muttered something similar to a prayer. I also decided to sing a song to celebrate this victory.

“Clap your hands! Yay! Sing a song! Yay!”
“What kind of song is that? Could it be a barbaric folk song?”
“Lalalala, dance happily! Let’s dance!”

The banquet of madness ended when Elise finished her prayers. Come to think of it, where is Cloudy? She ran out to catch the sorcerer… But it wasn’t surprising, right? If Cloudy finds out, I will die as well.

ㅡ Toouk.

“Ok?”

Then something flew out of the darkness. Rolling around. It landed on the floor and rolled and rolled until it came to my feet.

“What is this?”

It was a human head. The head with familiar tattoos on its face had its eyes closed and its tongue stuck out. The cut surface blatantly showed me the inner flesh. The blood-soaked neck bones and muscles were clear.

You don’t need this kind of cheating.

“He’s a drunkard.”

Cloudy approached me in amazement.
This head was thrown by her.

“Wouldn’t it have been better to catch him alive? Sorry. I couldn’t do a handstand against the wizard.”
“No. Thank you very much, Mr. Cloudy.”

Claudy kicked her head up like she was dribbling a soccer ball, grabbed it, and handed it to Elise. Elise naturally tied its hair around her waist her.

“Kat, did the three of you do it? Well done.”

Cloudy stroked my hair.

“Good. That drinker… What is he doing?”
“Well, I just tracked him down and took a chance and killed him in one shot. I didn’t know what he was doing, but he was a wizard.”
“Yes, our Cloudy is amazing. You’re the best. I thought you were hurt because you didn’t come.”
“Whoa, what if I get hurt?”
“I have to kill him and die with him. How can I live without you?”
“…”

Claudy blushed at my words and bit his lip her while averting his gaze her.
I was looking for an opportunity to say this line, my older sister.

“Okay. By the way, we’ve acquired the supply and demand of Flash Golems. Does anyone know how many talents these are?”
“Uh?”

And look, I don’t know that. Somehow, I felt a premonition of the jackpot. Copson and I cut off the head of the flesh golem in harmony with our trembling hands. When I saw it, it was really great.

“Heavy.”
“Open the sack.”

Copson opened the sack. I picked up the head with both hands and carefully put it in. With three zombie heads and a golem’s head, it’s quite heavy.

“Do you have anything more to pack?”
“Isn’t everything rotten? I don’t think there’s anything special.”
“Anyway, let’s investigate first.”

Anyway, we decided to investigate the corpse a bit more. Elise investigated most passionately. First of all, it is necessary to turn it inside out and cut out the evidence of heresy engraved on the chest of her. This means that I fell forward.

“It can’t be overturned.”

There was something that wasn’t even possible with Cloudy’s strength. The four of us struggled and gave up on turning over.

“What about this?”

For a while, we discussed the disposition of the corpse. After each came up with some ideas, we decided to cut out only the chest by gutting and slicing with a knife.

It splashed with nasty liquids, but cutting the rotten flesh was easier than expected. They clung to each other for a while and cut the shoulders and back. The ending was written by Elise. Borrowing her knife for a while, she satisfactorily cut off the leather from her chest, folded it up nicely and hung it on her belt.

This nun, the performance is amazing.

It was late at night, but everyone slept a little bit, so they didn’t look tired. It may be because of the excitement of the battle that has not gone away yet.

“Huh? This?”

Then Copson pulled out something black and round from inside the corpse’s intestines.
Black crystal?
The man who had mowed the grass cleaned the crystal.

“It’s an orb. It’s an orb with a very evil energy.”
“You mean an orb?”
“Yes. In order to move such an artificial monster, you need a power source. This orb seems to have played a role. I feel a very evil energy.”

After accepting the correction, Elise said. Is that so, orb? This…
So, isn’t this really expensive?

I looked at Cloudy.

“It’s expensive, right.”

She nodded her head.

“Oh, ooh!”

In the moment, intense joy soared! Indeed, the raid boss was the law to vomit something useful! You don’t know how many talents you’ll get with just your head, and you’ve even acquired an unknown orb!

Elise’s words that followed were also enough to make my heart burst.

“Let the Saints and Mrs. Copson take it. I received help from Mr. Cloudy as a magician and also helped me dismantle the leather, so it’s natural for me to yield.”

In other words, instead of Elise taking the master’s head and the patterned leather that are of little value to us, we were taking the expensive orb. It was a fairly reasonable condition, so I agreed with a smile.

“Boo, a couple…”

But that wasn’t what Cloudy was reacting to. They are ashamed of being treated as a married couple even if they are wrong. As if driving a wedge into her, her Elise spoke.

“Isn’t it?”
“…”
Hehe, that’s right! We are a couple!”

As she said that, she put her hands around Cloudy’s waist, and she, completely red, lowered her head and covered her face with her hands. I felt ashamed at this part.

“Anyway, why don’t you go back? It was a satisfactory harvest. If we leave now, we will definitely arrive around dawn.”
“Didn’t you wake up? I agree. What about you barbarians?”
“Okay, then let’s go. There’s some oil left, so let’s make a torch and go.”

It took me about six hours to come, so if I were to walk slowly through the night from now on, I would arrive by sunrise. I’m the only one who stands by the night, only Elise, shit.

So we set off towards the city through the darkness. The sack was taken alternately by me and Copson. Since Elise was the number one contributor to Reid, she couldn’t let her go, and Cloudy also had a lot of credit for defeating the caster.

It was natural for Copson and I to go, who hadn’t done anything special.

We walked slowly, taking breaks in between. There were no other raids. There were no undead or even monsters in the forest right now. With that said, it soon began to dawn. I stayed up all night, and then I tried to close my eyes. You should settle down quickly and go to bed.

“I can see the walls.”
“I’m a bit tired now.”

A full-fledged morning had begun.
I passed the still-tired-looking guard I saw yesterday and returned to the city.

“Then let’s break up at this point. There are too many things to do. There will definitely be a chance to see you next time. Then goodbye.”

Elise greeted me.

“Huh? No, hey. I’ll take the talent and go. All I have to do is change the head of the flash golem. Let’s go together. Well, how long does it take?”
“Thanks for your concern, but I don’t really need it. Sister Blalette has already lost her will her… It’s not very useful even if I have it. I’ll have enough with this cultist’s supplies and skins.”

After saying that, Elise left. The only ones left in the hall were me, Copson, and Cloudy. Well, it’s nice to have to divide what was supposed to be four into three, but… Somehow I felt a little sorry.

“Never mind, Kat. Aren’t you more tired than that? Let’s go to church.”
“That’s right, barbarian. Looks like we have a lot to do.”

She went straight to the nearby Brass Holy Church. The talent exchange window was empty. It was morning, and there were no undead. There was only one sleepy-looking priest standing there. He went in front of him and held out his sack.

“Priest, what did I bring?”
“Did you bring anything special?”
“Guess it. You’ll be amazed.”
“Hmm… Did you catch a ghoul…?”

I smiled and took out three zombie heads from the sack.

“Isn’t this a zombie’s head?”
“Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Tada!”

Immediately, using both hands, he took out the large head of the flesh golem and placed it on the reception desk.

“This, this! What the hell!”
“Plesi- Goleem!”
“Flash Golem!”

At that cry, all the priests, nuns, and paladins in the vicinity rushed in. As they approached, they began to panic, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

“Evil creature!”
“What the hell is this!”
“Brother, where did you get this monster from?”
Haha, calm down, church members.”

An impromptu fair was held. Someone ran out in a hurry. Judging by his clothes, he was a senior pastor of the Brass Castle Society.

“This, this…!”
“Aren’t you Pastor. How many talents can you give me for this?”
“Bep, Bebe Werther, how many talents do you have left?”
“About one hundred and fifty… “
“Give it all to them!”

Surprisingly, the supply and demand of golems was worth 150 copies. When I danced for joy, the Paladins gave me a round of applause. After going through a lot of questions and answers, I came out.

“Now, take 50 cards!”
“Awesome, awesome!”
“Did you get more than you expected?”
“It’s a fucking piece of life.”

Next was the treatment of the orb.

“Barbarian, where can I sell the Orb?”
“I know a good place.”

What are you worried about? Isn’t our black magician, Lysha Leongreen?

If you take it there and sell it, you will get a good price. It takes a bit to go to the slums, but there’s nothing scary if you go with three people. First of all, am I not a man who can take a match against robbers even if I go alone?

“Follow.”
“Ah, are you going to the black magic shop then?”
“That’s right. The place we went when we first met.”
“Huh, is that so?”

The three of them headed towards the eastern gate area. I remember all the roads leading there. I felt very good because my income was good.

“By the way, what else is the black magic shop? Is there such a thing?”
“Uh. Have you ever gone to a dungeon with me and picked up a staff member?”
“Come to think of it, there was a time like that. Did you sell the staff well at that time?”
“Of course. I sold it for 5 silver.”
“What! 5 silver?!”

Copson was astonished. At that time, Meria and I sold it together. The Alchemist Guild paid a huge price for it and sold it at a bargain price, like an idiot.
