“I’ll make it happen as you wish.”

Strangely, all three of them nodded their heads as if they had made a firm decision in response to my words.

“No… Anyway, if we use the warp gate, we’ll arrive in one second.”

What a show.

At a time like this, only Astin, who seems to listen to anything I say without any objection, came to mind.

“If it were him, he would probably agree even if I said I’d make porridge with red beans….”

Not bringing him along for this operation to monitor Siena left a significant void.

“When I go back, I should at least pat him on the shoulder and say, ‘Good job.'”

“Yeah. Take care.”

Feeling exhausted, I didn’t dwell on it any further, and in the blink of an eye, the scenery around me changed.

“Ugh… my head hurts.”

Whether I hit my head severely on the gate, now I was overwhelmed by pain along with fatigue.

Perhaps due to drowsiness, or maybe I was losing consciousness.

Either way, I just thought I’d take a deep breath when I woke up.

In the midst of that, someone rushed into my field of vision.

“Duke Kitten! Are you okay?”

“…Mm.”

“It’s the words of a dying person, huh?”

Astin’s eyes asking if I’m okay were somewhat bitter. It seemed like he was tormented by something. What had Siena done?

Feeling annoyed by the approaching commotion, I decided to say only one thing before falling asleep. My head was too throbbing.

“…Turn.”

“What, what is it?”

“I’m not in a state of being a dying corpse, so let me sleep. My eardrums are about to burst.”

I won’t die so easily, you know?

After bluntly delivering the main point, I immediately lost consciousness.

It was a deep sleep without any dreams.

“Absolutely, we cannot let them escape!”

As the warp gate was rapidly created, ‘Kieran’ screamed out loud.

So, he even squeezed out a spell to control the zombies, but in the face of divine power, the zombies collapsed helplessly like dry leaves in a fire.

“Jigral….”

The highly concentrated sacred power knew how to deal effective attacks to the zombies other than paralysis.

In an unforeseen event, Kieran, like a beast, vented his anger, which had nowhere to go, on the pitiful objects.

The hiding place became dirtier, as if a storm had passed.

“Now that it’s like this, I hope Siena will eliminate those guys while dealing with the saint Astin.”

The warp gate created by divine power seemed like a sanctuary that no mere human could touch.

Kieran hated admitting this fact, but even after he moved a million zombies, he couldn’t destroy the gate, so he had to suppress his anger and only let the rage simmer.

Breaking through the outlet that was isolated in the capital meant that the survivors could turn the tide of the future. This was a significant blow to Kieran.
“If it weren’t for that woman, I could have easily swept away all the survivors that came out this time.”

I thought they were annoying beings who wished for not even a single strand of the fingers of noble ladies to be harmed.

Looking back, I should have known from the moment she wore a holster on her waist and carried dual pistols capable of using magic bullets. Elizabeth Kitten, that bold woman, was a lunatic who would do anything to survive.

Recalling vividly the sight of Elizabeth relentlessly attacking without regard for her own body, Kieran gritted his teeth.

“Astin and Elizabeth, I must order them to die no matter what.”

Even if, as a result of this order, Siena Evergreen were to die again, what did it matter?

To Kieran, Siena was nothing more than a revived corpse, neither more nor less, and she was a being like an enemy, fueling his hatred.

If he could shock everyone who knew Siena Evergreen at this moment, it would be a pleasure.

If Siena were to be remembered not as a beautiful memory like a portrait in a frame but as a hideous monster trying to harm people, no one would want to remember her.

Especially, it would have a significant psychological impact on arrogant humans like Elizabeth, Ruth, Benedict, Michael, and others.

Imagining the appearance of survivors falling into despair, Kieran contacted Siena.

“Siena? It’s me.”

…What’s the matter, Father?

“All the extermination forces have survived. I will go to the duchy immediately, so you observe what they are plotting through the newly created gate. Of course, causing discord among the people is the top priority.”

Especially widening the gap between the 2nd Prince and other survivors.

“Can’t you understand even such a simple order, you fool?”

These are the words of my noble father. How can I not understand them? I will do my best to carry them out successfully.

Siena’s obedient voice gave Kieran no sense of satisfaction.

“You… Have you still not consumed ‘food’?”

…

“Before it’s too late, eat something. Thanks to my magic, you can pretend to be human for a longer time than other zombies, but if you reach the limit without eating, you will eventually become as ferocious as the lower-grade zombies.”
