Chapter 499 - Durian's Mansion (part 23) - VS Durian (part 4)

Although internal organs had little to no importance for the functioning of any undead, they were still most definitely linked to their HP just how it was with any other creature - the only difference for the undead was that although destroying a particular organ would decrease their health points,  it would not immediately incapacitate those beasts in any significant way as it would do to the living.

Internal organs were the first weak point that a necromancer would get rid of in their summoned monsters as destroying them one by one with enough time in between for the creature HP's regeneration to cover the loss would not bring any disadvantage in the long run.

"You can go to the other side with ease, I will be personally sending your master there, following after you...!"

Durian laughed, unveiling his plan to make the defeated enemy even more miserable - although in all honesty - he was unsure whether the monster could hear him properly.

As the popular - in the Fruit Salad kingdom saying goes - the greed of Greeds knows no bounds.

Greed was what pushed them all into action, it could be the vastly generalized feeling of wanting more of everything, but most of the family had a specific aspect or thing they wanted above all else.

Some wanted wealth, some wanted political power, some wanted strength, and some wanted love - but for Durian, who was a member of the Greeds family through and through, that something was glory.

He wanted to be feared and respected by everyone and everything he crossed paths with.

And that included the blue undead sprawled on the ruble in front of him.

"No response, oh well..."

Durian scoffed and glanced up at the sphere of red and black smoke encasing the liquefied innards.

"...wouldn't that be ironic to finish you off with that...?"

His smirk bloomed into a full-on smile, and he raised his head, making the sphere raise up much higher, and moved it over his own head to get himself just a bit of a wider move - just enough to be sure that the tough undead will actually die this time and...!

*CHOMP*

"GH-URGH...!"

With a soft sound of teeth clattering against each other, something got torn apart Durian's body, making him throw up a ridiculous amount of blood.

*SPLASH*

"AAAAAAUUUURRRRGGGGHH!"

As if that wasn't enough, the impact that the sudden internal damage has had on d Durian, made him release the control over the red and black smoke - which resulted in it dispersing into the air like a normal smoke - releasing and drenching him in the crushed internal organs of the blue undead - which in their liquified form turned out to be a highly toxic liquid that began burning and even straight-up melting the man's flesh off of his bones.

"Khahaha...! Idioth...!"

*crunch*

*gulp*

The blue undead slowly raised from the ground and laughed mockingly before swallowing whatever mysterious mass he had in his mouth.

"YOU...! YOU LITTLE FUCKER! DO YOU THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO DEFEAT ME?!"

Durian howled as the melted flesh was peeling off of him in literal stripes and he stumbled back barely keeping a balance on the loose debris.

|Whoa, he is tough...! That is no would devouring venom, but I have melted so many mid-level player characters with it already, that I thought it would be enough for him.|

Zombie stood up and looked at his torso - his body was literally ripped open for everyone to see as most of his ribs have simply given out and broken apart.

Though, honestly, there was hardly anything to look at now that Durian was going through the accelerated process of decaying alive thanks to Zombie's very own internal organs mixed with an unbelievable amount of his powerful venom.

|HA! As if! You may fool others with that silver tongue of yours but I can read your mind, remember? You just want to make him suffer!|

The sealed being inside of him sounded as if she furrowed her brows and looked away while pouting.

|Sorry, sorry - I will make it up to you when I got a chance.|

Zombie giggled internally and thought softly to appease the fuming sealed bearing.

|...haa... you better do that, my rotten brain...|

The sealed being murmured in embarrassment in response to that.

"YOU FILTHY FUCKING ROTTING CORPSE! WHY DON'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?!"

"...?"

Zombie looked at the howling man with surprise - he honestly expected to be attacked already, but instead, Durian was just roaring and waving his hands around wildly...

|Ah~! My venom got his eyes~?!|

The blue undead's own eyes filled with excitement and he bounced up happily seeming that the damage dealt by his tricky attack wasn't just reserved for his target's skin and muscles.

"GET OVER HERE AND FIGHT ME LIKE MAN, YOU FILTHY UNDE-aurgh...!"

The gravely injured man shouted and swung down a bit too hard, slipping on the loose debris and ending up dirtying his wounds with a copious amount of dirt.

|Pffft...! Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha! Haa... you heard him? He wants a real fight! Pffft...! Ha ha! If I had an actual body my stomach would be hurting from laughing too much, I swear!|

The sealed being couldn't help herself and erupted into a burst of ugly laughter that sounded more like the dog's barks than anything else, and filled - the currently vacant - insides of the blue undead with a nostalgic feeling.

He got into such a good mood that he decided to not make Durian's last moments unnecessary miserable.

Zombie's eyes began glowing with a reddish light and he glanced down, where exactly underneath the howling Durian a certain monster was regaining control over its powers for the first time in four years...

"Hey. Durian - one of your slaves has something to tell you."

"!!!!!!!"

*RUMBLE*

Zombie called out, getting the attention of the wounded man, just in time for the debris underneath him to tremble and...

*BOOOOOM*

The blue undead kicked off the ground and launched himself into the air.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The debris and the wounded man got thrown into the night sky

"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Roared the humanoid-shaped gigantic sigil monster, opening its jaws in an attempt to swallow Durian whole.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Cried out Durian, as the blue undead got on top of his mushy half-melted body and kicked him down the beast's throat.

"ZOMBIE! WATCH OUT!"

"Hmm...?"

Someone standing by the gate in the wall surrounding Durian's estate shouted in panic, picking Zombie's attention.

As he recognized Cranberry's life signature, he looked back down just to see that the sigil monster did not slow down in its ascend and...

*CHOMP*

*GULP*

...the blue undead got swallowed whole....
