“Shut up! I hate it here! I didn’t come to this hellish place! If you want to stay here, stay like that Michael guy!”
Pointing at the excited Pope, the priests’ expressions stiffened.
Meanwhile, the one singled out, Michael, remained calm as if he had heard a dog barking. He continued to shoot the crossbow with divine power.
“…Are you saying that we’ll be abandoned now?”
“Like Lord Michael?”
As the priests, who had been obediently following, sent rebellious glances, the Pope’s mouth finally closed for a moment.
“T-That’s not it. How could I abandon you? I spoke in vain out of fear. If we want to go back, we should all go together…!”
“Are we being treated like we don’t exist?”
‘Agreed.’
“You’re the only one who can receive the quest reward to open the gate. I don’t know why you’re saying such things with such confidence.”
Zero grumbled, cursing the Pope. I, too, had no intention of easily letting the Pope go, so I laughed and patted his shoulder.
“Your Holiness.”
“Yo-Your Excellency.”
“Do you want to go back? Outside?”
“W-Well, yes. To be able to fight here with Duke and His Highness, the Second Prince… I was too arrogant. If we go back, I’ll personally warn everyone about the danger of zombies. So, let us go back, please?”
Behind the pleading Pope, the cries of zombies burning to death echoed in the ongoing scene.
“Argh… Aaaah….”
“Kuuaah….”
The red patterns did not disappear. Could it be that the culprit threatens us even though the zombies from Zone 4 and Zone 5 are all gone? A cold voice involuntarily emerged in this uncomfortable situation.
“You said you would save the Empire, and now you want to go back from here?”
“Uh, yeah?”
“Are you joking right now?”
If you wanted to become a hero, even by pretending, you should take full responsibility.
Looking down on the Pope with a contemptuous gaze, he trembled with anger.
“Duke… How dare you treat me, the Pope, like this? Do you think you won’t be able to do anything behind my back? I have plenty of connections! Among the local lords who boasted and pledged allegiance, there are those who are on my side!”
“So, are you threatening me now, saying you’ll only take out those who follow the Pope?”
“Threatening? It’s just a suggestion to the barbaric Duke who became savage while hunting zombies!”
‘He’s going too far.’
“Has the old man gone senile!”
Zero wanted to chew the Pope’s skull with his teeth, as if he was snacking on nuts.
I spoke in a calm voice.
“Your Holiness. To use the gate again, you need my permission. Did you not know that?”
“W-What did you say?”
“You sent me a letter. You wanted to come inside the capital. His Holiness was able to come in safely through the gate because I allowed it.”
The usage range of the gate I set applies to all humans.
However, if there is a human I haven’t allowed, that person cannot approach the gate, just like a zombie.
Seeing the speechless Pope, I asked the other priests.
“Would you also like to go outside?”
“……”
“Let me make a proposal. If His Holiness the Pope stays here and only speaks well of us fighting zombies outside, then we’ll let the priests go outside.”
An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. To repay the filthy feeling I experienced when asking for the Holy Water like this.
“Hey!”
The Pope grabbed my sleeve, turning pale. I shook him off as if a bug had landed on me.
“What would you like?”
“…….”
The priests, already beginning to harbor suspicions, stared at the Pope with white eyes.
“What, what is going on? Are you all planning to leave me here? How dare you, leaving the Pope, me!”
Facing the enraged Pope, Michael sneered.
“Even I, the strongest Holy Knight, was cast aside like trash. Just because it’s the Pope, is there anything he can’t do?”
“You!”
Unable to contain his anger, the Pope stood up, uttering harsh words to Michael.
“You took in a filthy, destitute orphan with no place to go. Are you now trying to bite the hand that fed you?”
As the insulting words poured out, the Pope tried to grab Michael’s collar when it happened.
“Seems like the Pope’s foot is subtly touching the Path of Light.”
As if Zero’s words were sparks, something fell onto the Pope, comforting him.
“Kkkeuh… Kkkeuahhh….”
It was the teeth of a zombie, burning in white flames, inching towards him.
Like the mouth of Erysichthon in Greek mythology, the teeth of the zombie, with only gums and teeth left, reached over the Pope’s shoulders, just before burning completely.
The Pope belatedly noticed the presence of the disgusting teeth.
“G-Get away!”
However, it was already too late to brush them away with the back of his hand.
With a crunch.
Before being engulfed in white flames, the greedy zombie’s teeth bit into the Pope’s flesh, tearing through his clothes.
“Aaaah!”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
