The Villainess and I, her Zombie-Chapter 529: Sigil monster

"Say, since the ruler of the monster city is apparently a sigil monster but did not destroy his place, does that mean that the sigil monster can not hold back?"

Zombie asked curiously while watching the six-armed sigil monster spread open all of its arms and...

"DIIIIIIIIIIIE!"

*BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM*

...roared and unleashed a volley of devastating punches on someone or something hidden from Zombie and Cranberry's sight by the wall surrounding the outpost, as the red and black dome extended outwards enveloping a surprisingly wast area – truth be told it might even reach both the previous and the next village form the outpost.

"That should be enough of an answer, don't you think!?"

Cranberry called out and jumped off of his pulling out her baseball bat scepter from the bag on her back.

"LOWER LIFE-FORMS, I WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE THE BUGS YOU ARE, TREMBLE BEFORE THE MIGHT OF THE ETERNAL!"

The sigil monster growled raising his arms once more to rain the destruction upon its former comrades.

"...oh...?"

Zombie raised his brow curiously – the next moment the ashen undead knight appeared above the wall too – she was wielding a buckler and a saber entirely made out of the translucent ice.

She jumped up and slashed at the sigil monster without hesitation as her body shone with white light.

"FULLISH UNDEAD! PERISH!"

The beast roared and punched at the ashen undead knight with only one of its hands, clearly aiming to turn her into a pulp with that one punch, but once the ice saber met the fist...

*SHATTER*

The sigil monster's fist froze solid and shattered into thousands of pieces.

"GHAAUURGHHH! YOU UNDEAD FILTH!"

The six-armed sigil monster howled in pain and stumbled back – the ashen undead didn't respond and instead rushed at him with another attack!

"AS IF!"

*CRUSH*

*WHAM*

The sigil monster roared and with a staggering speed, it grabbed one of the buildings of the fort, tore it off the ground, and used it as a buffer between its own body ad the freezing blade, resulting in swatting the ashen undead out of the sky and smashing it down together with the building.

"GUHUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FOOL! AS IF SOMEONE LIKE YOU STANDS A CHANCE AGAINST ME!"

The massive monster shook from laughter before turning back to his former colleagues down at his feet.

Without as much as frowning – it grabbed the wrist of the headless arm that got frozen and broken off, and riped the frostbitten part by itself – the red and black smoke erupted from the wound but after a few seconds it suddenly started thickening and coagulating and before a full minute passed, the creature had regrown is hand perfectly.

"NOW THEN, AS FOR YOU ALL – IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO WITNESS THE GLORIOUS POWER OF ETERNAL!"

Its face twisted with a cruel smile.

"I was wondering where she had her equipment. So she is actually pretty versatile with her ice..."

The blue undead nodded to himself, with a mischievous smirk.

"Zombie! What are you waiting for? Do you want to miss out on the experience?!"

Cranberry was standing on the cart, aiming the manna crystal at the base of her baseball bat towards the rampaging sigil monster.

"Sure, sure – only one question – what do you think about trying to impress her by showing off some power?"

"Wh-what...?"

Zombie waved his hand dismissively, causing Cranberry to almost stumble and fall down even though she was staying in place.

"Since killing her permanently is out of the question since we've learned that she is the remnant of Love, I don't want to give her to In're after all – since I already have two remnants as my subjects, I might as well try to get them all~"

The blue undead shrugged his shoulders and explained, though his words caused the red-haired girl's eyes to widen in shock.

"Wait... I... I mean it's not bad to have her as your subject early... but... haa... What do you mean by impressing her?"

The red-haired girl flinched and looked confused between the sigil monster and her smiling blue undead knight.

"Simple – you cast a butt on me, or attack the sigil monster with something fast to assure your part of EXP and let me do the rest."

Zombie shrugged his shoulders, reaching his hand towards the six-armed beast about to unleash hell upon the troops in the fort...

"No, I'm serious, what are you planning to d...?!"

Cranberry shook her head in annoyance and asked, but the words got stuck in her throat once the blue undead's body started shining with vibrant violet light as he was staring right at her, and she understood what his plan was.

"HA? You can select the speels I'm not even using? Already?! Haaa...!"

*ZAP*

She gasped in shock before both buffing the blue undead as well as sending a singular lighting bolt at the sigil monster and hitting it perfectly in its left eye.

"GHUAAARGH...! WHO DARES...?!"

The sigil monster growled, squinting the tearing up eye, the damage wasn't anything impressive, it was equal to the human having a grain of sand stuck behind their eyelid – but it was damage nonetheless.

And when the six-armed monster howled furiously and turn in the direction that the attack few at him, he saw the odd distortion in the air – as if the space itself had shattered and broke apart in a single spot on top of the wagon right outside the fort.

Then, before it could even open its mouth for another roar...

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

"...urgh..."

The ashen undead knight dug her way up from the debris of the entire cantine that the sigil monster has hit her with.

It was so embarrassing and annoying – she especially made sure to be seen from the outside so that the blue undead knight would see how strong she was and that it wasn't worth trying to mess with her on their way, but that plan wasn't going so well.

Just her luck – of course, the monster suffering from the Eternal's energy pollution that she decided to use for her advantage turned out to actually be somewhat strong.

"Nevermind that... I'll just go for the legs and chop up that overgrown spider-wannabe..."

She muttered to herself, pushing off the last few pieces of wood blocking her from the outside world.

Finally, after more than a minute she was ready to go back into action and show the other undead knight who was...!

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

The ashen knight looked up at the sigil monster with perfect timing to see its head and half of the torso got absolutely decimated by the electrical discharge so powerful that both the air and the ground trembled from the raw power – the attack didn't even stop on a sigil monster for a split of a second as if the creature wasn't even considered as an obstacle, and smashed into the red and black barrier that also popped like a soap bubble since the beast who controlled it literally disintegrated in one attack...!

/You receive EXP

Locked skill has been unsealed:

Temptation of chaos

"...what in the world...?!"

The ashen undead knight gasped in disbelief, stumbling onto the degree and almost falling down on her face as the system message showed up momentarily blocking her vision.

Thankfully, no one from the tetra-arms manning the fort saw it, as everyone who was alive was staring in disbelief at the spot where the massive sigil monster was just a second ago.

The air smelled sharp and no one dared to move.

No one except for the ashen undead of course. She Clenched her hands on her buckler and saber and moved towards the hole in the wall that the humongous magic attack had caused – the edges of the haole were crystalized, further proving that it was done by someone who shouldn't be there.

"...another wild sigil monster...? No, maybe even the ruler himself...?! Or some higher-up from the church?"

The ashen undead muttered to herself for a second before she gathered the courage to peek through the hole at whoever pulled off a one-shot kill like that...
