The zombie daringly targeted me, who was at the forefront, as if knowing that capturing me would disband the group.
The time to watch the falling zombies passed by in slow motion.
‘Caught.’
It felt like I would be caught just like this.
In that moment, the only thought that filled my mind was, ‘How could I come this far only to get caught?’
Being caught by a zombie would mean the end. I had witnessed Sienna, the first zombie, effortlessly tearing apart Prince Louis like prey, showing a predatory dominance over him as if treating him like prey. It was unexpected, but Sienna, facing the formidable Louis, exhibited a ruthless dominance, suppressing him unilaterally.
Like a female mantis.
The blood-red eyes, shining with the success of mating and hunting, were incredibly terrifying.
I didn’t want to end up like Prince Louis.
“You damn XX, get out of here!”
Obscenities burst out involuntarily. Tears of anger and shouts erupted.
Instinctively, I assumed a posture, springing my body like a spring and slamming into the castle gate.
Whatever happens later, even if colliding with a solid iron gate might be painful, I didn’t know it at that moment. If I got hurt, it would be a glorious injury.
「Kuaak! Are you insane?」
As I tried to body-slam without giving me a chance to get down, Zero’s reaction was like looking at a crazy person. I pretended not to notice.
After those breathless few seconds had passed.
The one who became the victor was…
“Uaaaah!”
“Kkruk… Kkruruk…”
I was the one who rammed into the northern castle gate first.
Clang!
The crystal whiskey glass shattered on the ground, previously containing whiskey.
The sacred power that seemed to be made of melted white flames covered the surroundings of the castle gate in a giant circle.
As a transparent, silvery sanctuary, or rather, a special gate was erected, all the zombies that were rushing toward the survivors due to the recoil fell down.
“Kiaaak! Kuaaaah!”
“Kkruruk… Kkuuuu…”
“Kyak! Kyuuaaa…!”
‘I thought sacred power could only paralyze zombies…’
Perhaps because it was the sacred power of higher gods, the zombies writhed as if they had been burned just by touching it.
Even if bones and joints were broken, they seemed completely different from the blindly rushing and recklessly attacking zombies.
“Are the cursed undead, in the end, nothing more than mud to the most powerful beings in the world?”
The sight of the scene through the zombies sharing my view was enough to drive a stake through the feeling of ‘Keyan.’
Although we had almost caught our prey, everything went awry when Elizabeth Kitten, crawling with the posture of a living saint, collided with the castle gate.
From her head, she rammed into the castle gate, and with a soul-stirring wave of pure sacred power, flames blossomed like flowers.
The blossoming flames descended to the ground like the spear of a archangel, forming a perfect circle.
Ding.
[Sudden Quest – Touch the northern castle gate first!] [Don’t miss the crucial opportunity to repel zombies and communicate with the outside!] [Reward: Promise of a fully completed Safety Warp Gate with top-tier divine support] [Mission Clear!] [Receiving rewards.] [Item: Acquired Safety Warp Gate crafted by the divine!] [Due to the item’s special properties and the crafter, real-time installation is in progress.] [Now Loading…….]After the blue notification window appeared, the white and sacred flames drew a circle clockwise, completing a massive spell.
The complex spell, like a carefully woven tapestry, gracefully descended to the ground, forming roots one by one.
This spell…! It was only possible for the ancient sorcerer or the former emperor!
The magician with navy-blue hair made a fuss, claiming that it was a rare type of teleportation magic gate that could only be found in documents. Startled, he almost fell over.
On the other hand, Keyan couldn’t shake off the shock after seeing the scene, breaking the remaining wine bottle.
The sound of glass hitting the ground was loud, but it couldn’t alleviate the boiling anger.
“Will you once again consider me an antagonist…? I’m only seeking rightful revenge. Those hypocrites who only act in times of crisis when the world is in danger!”
Keyan, muttering unknown words, suddenly roared like a beast. He repeated self-harming actions, scratching and hitting his face, then went on to destroy and trample items within the hiding place in a destructive manner.
Even as pieces of broken glass gradually embedded themselves underfoot, Keyan continued the violent actions as if he couldn’t feel any pain.
A drop of bloody, virulent blood mixed with golden liquor flowed into the golden-bright liquid.
While Keyan was immersed in anger and burning up, a resonant voice was heard beyond the sight of the zombies.
“We see you.”
“Well done.”
“The last guardian of humanity.”
“So that we don’t fail twice, please protect this place.”
“Fulfill your mission.”
“Then our blessing will be granted.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
