「Kirei, that damn culprit, is likely using real-time magic to observe this. When you arrived, the zombies hesitated, so he might be turning the seal forcibly to increase their activity.」
“Ugh…”
It was painful to watch as the zombies, with fierce roars, tried to break down the barrier without any restraint.
The magic barrier was an artifact designed to protect the household from negative entities using magical stones.
So, the zombies clinging to the magic barrier were affected by the barrier and their bodies corroded as they attempted to destroy it.
“Kyaaaaah!”
“Kwuuu… Aaaaah!”
Even though the zombies were surely incapable of feeling pain…
Their screams, which seemed to resonate like the wailing of damned souls, pierced through me.
As I continued to listen, human voices occasionally mixed in with the cries.
‘Ah… Aaah.’
‘I hate this. I really do.’
‘Send me home. Home…’
‘I would rather be killed.’
‘I don’t want to live as a monster. I hate this appearance.’
‘Can someone just kill us?’
‘Kill us.’
‘Please…’
The desperate voices of hundreds, if not thousands, echoed in my mind.
“Aaah!”
“What’s wrong? Why are you like this?”
“Hu, human voices… I hear too many of them.”
“What?”
“The zombies… I hear voices from those who used to be people. They are begging to end this suffering. It’s torturous.”
After scrutinizing the surroundings, Zero sighed.
“It seems sensitive as a Saint in her awakening stage. That son of a bitch might not know how he found out about this, but he seems to have sent the zombies with the clear intention of tormenting you thoroughly.”
The number of zombies was disgustingly vast.
Even though they completely surrounded the dome-shaped magic barrier, like layers of stacked pastry cookies, the zombies were lined up endlessly, and the end of their formation was beyond visibility.
Chick. Despite their skin melting away each time they touched the barrier, the zombies followed the command of the red seal.
Sizzle. Sizzle. Thud.
“…”
“Heh. This is… They seem to have come with the clear purpose of completely covering and destroying the barrier.”
Tiryum clicked her tongue. I was horrified as I looked at the shadow looming over us.
The zombies surrounding the barrier, as if that wasn’t enough, began crawling over it layer by layer.
Whether their skin melted or not, they paid no attention and, as a result, the inside of the mansion gradually darkened. They were preventing sunlight from entering by blocking it.
“It’s dangerous. We can’t stay like this.”
“The performance of the Count’s magic barrier is not in question. But seeing the zombies, who turned their eyes and stubbornly try to destroy it, seems suspicious. Lady, it seems we should evacuate the remaining survivors.”
Michel’s words were relayed to me through Luce, suggesting what we should do.
Zero also agreed.
「Since that guy Kirei suffered shame and insult from you and shamefully ran away, it wouldn’t be strange if he issued an order to kill you all. The fairy magician is right. You should move the survivors.」
Fortunately, we had a sturdy portal gate created by the gods.
“Everyone, disperse inside the mansion and gather in front of the gate!”
The four men who raised their heads scattered in all directions. I rushed to the reception room where Sherry, Jacqueline, Jessica, and Cloud were.
“It’s an emergency, everyone. We need to escape outside through the gate.”
“…What are you talking about?”
“Zombies are running wild. The culprit seems to be Kirei Warei, who controls the zombies. Zombies activated with the red seal are relentlessly trying to destroy the magic barrier. We need to leave quickly!”
They panicked as they looked at the dark sky outside that I pointed to.
“Right now, let’s go right now.”
“Good thinking.”
“As expected of the Saint. The attitude of this living saint trying to save people…!”
I covered Cloud’s mouth in response to what he said.
“Instead of wasting time with unnecessary words, grab any necessary items and come out. Here…”
Kugugung. An eerie sound echoed. Everyone froze upon hearing the sound.
This was a sound coming from the sky.
“If the magic barrier collapses, it’s over.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
