Chapter 207: Fast town evacuation and fear of rotten zombies
Having wiped out the enemy for the time being, the NPCs of the Adventurer's Guild became calm and began to take action to deal with the situation. First of all, it seems that each guild has a magic circle that can be used to transfer between guilds in case of emergency.
But apparently it doesn't work properly. Then, some old-timers arrived.
"I checked my transfer magic circle after seeing all the monsters, but it's blocked"
"The Beastmaster's Guild didn't work either"
Ah, it's the old lady from the Alchemy Guild and the paper fan older brother from the Beastmasters Guild.
"It's probably because the undead are disturbing the earth veins"
"Earth veins?"
"Hmm? You're the summoner who used to take a saber-toothed tiger around the city, aren't you?"
I'm glad you remember me, but I hate being remembered like that!
"It's been a while. Was it you who annihilated the Skull Bats and Skull Owls...you've grown a lot in a little while"
"It's thanks to my trusty companions"
Ehehe (Huhu)~
If it weren't for Wako, damage would have been done for sure.
"So what is the earth vein?"
"It's the flow of mana. It seems that the magic circle here can no longer be used because Gerbera Grow was in control of this flow of mana. It seems that magic that uses magic power is still okay"
In other words, you can't summon magic or alchemy...then we don't have time anymore.
"I'll open a warp gate that leads to Freetia"
The two of them were impressed.
"I thought you could use it because you were in this town..."
'I'm continually amazed at your tremendous progress. But I suppose it's for the best"
"I'm going to warp ahead. I have to tell Freetia about this crisis. I'm sure His Majesty, King Gran, will inform the rest of the world of this crisis"
"I understand. Then I'll take over the escort"
Oh! Don't tell me I'm going to see the paper fan older brother in battle? I'm looking forward to it so much. And everyone from Freetia joins me in the escort. But there's a problem: the NPCs.
"Do we have to abandon this town?"
"We'll fight!"
"Don't be stupid!"
The old woman screams.
"What could you guys do against those monsters back there? All you could do was scream and freak out. It's a bunch of zombies that can easily swallow this town. Don't you understand that you don't stand a chance?"
"Grandma, are you going to abandon this town?"
A child asked the old woman.
"If we want to survive, we have no choice...but to come back to this town alive"
The townspeople agreed with the old man's words.
"Yes...if we live, we can start over, right?"
"Yes! Let's live now so that we can rebuild this town!"
Oo!
"All right, now get out of here. Come on, kid"
I'm a kid...well, cant be helped
"Yes! Warp gate!"
I open the warp gate and one by one, the townspeople begin to evacuate. Among them was the fishmonger's uncle and the nobleman who I had a cooking battle with. I thought he didn't like subraces?
Then an NPC, an alchemist, brings me something.
"An MP potion! Please use it!"
Ah, no. I'm sure the magic won't last, though.
Lily, Setia, Ruin-san and the others are praying. Don't you people have the grace to use Entrust!
There was no one to save me. As a result, I'm currently undergoing the torture of drinking 30 of the damnedest potions. Funny, isn't it? I'm supposed to be doing something good, so...why am I being tortured?
"Zo, Zombies are just around the corner!"
'They're finally here...then I'll have to fight them. Come on! Carbuncle!"
Oh! I've never seen this monster before! The one that appeared had jewels on its forehead and tail. It was a weasel-like beast-type summoned beast.
The carbuncle ignores the older brother and when it comes to me, it smells the robe and climbs up to my shoulders and rubs its body. It's adorable.
"Please don't take my summoned beast!"
He was angry...even though I was told that.
"I think it was because of the smell of delicious food from Takuto-san"
Well, I smelled it, so I'm sure it's true. If that's the case, I have no choice but to answer.
"I'll give you food later, so fight now"
As I said this, Carbuncle put up its ears, went down and started shadowboxing.
"It's more motivated than ever before, but..."
"Takuto-san even feeds an NPCs summoned beast!"
Tyrol! It sure looks like that, but don't bother telling me!
Then I got to the point where I could visually see the zombies.
"We'll defend to the death until the evacuation is over!"
Oo!
Then there was a girl who attacked the zombies first. It was Hanabi-chan.
"I've got the first spear! Pseudo-dragonification!"
Oh. She's learned pseudo-dragonification? A red tail and red wings will be added.
"Vanishhh! Dragon Technique! Dragon Claw!"
Hanabi-chan's dragon hands swing their claws down on the zombies and obliterate them. It's very powerful.
"Huhuh! What do you think! Takuma"
"Awesome! Hanabi!"
It sure is awesome...if the opponent isn't undead. The resurrected zombies grab Hanabi-chan's legs.
"Wh!? What, these guys!? Hi!? That's disgusting! Don't touch me! Raging Flames!"
The zombies that were touching Hanabi-chan were burning, but they wouldn't let go. Or rather, they are flocking. Then something strange happened to Hanabi-chan. She suddenly collapsed.
"Lily!"
"Yes!"
"No close combat!"
What!? The older brother explains.
"Rotten zombies corrode everything they touch. Your clothes, your weapons, your body! Carbuncle!"
"Kui!"
As Carbuncle flies through the air, his jewels glow and lasers shoot out, wiping out the zombies that had gathered around Hanabi. Carbuncle, it's strong.
"Hanabi!"
Takuma tried to get close to her, but the older brother stopped him.
"No, you can't! Even if you defeat a rotten zombie, it will spread the smell of decay and cause everything around it to rot!"
"That...but Hanabi!"
"Return her to her summon stone! Then immediately summon her again and heal her!"
"I, I understand!"
Mirai was in charge of treating Hanabi-chan, so it should be okay. Even so, it's an extremely troublesome zombie.
"A long-range attack is okay, isn't it?"
"Yes. The corruption reduces the durability of weapons and armor, so magic is the basic method"
"Can't I use bless to block it?"
"As you probably know, it can only be blocked once"
Hmmm, maybe it's okay if you can prevent it with Bless.
"I just used Wakos exorcism, is it effective?"
"It does work. But it will take time to kill them...corrupted zombies are stronger than normal zombies"
Then I guess we can't use the same tactics.
"Lily, can you take care of the enemy? You have the holy dragon blessing, you'll probably be fine"
"I'm on it! Takuto!"
"Everyone else, long range! Wako, can one of the passages in the town be blocked by a barrier?"
"The main streets are impossible. I think I can block one of the smaller passages"
"Then do it. It'll make a big difference just to block one passage"
"Leave it to me"
There is one main street that leads to the Adventurer's Guild. There are two paths that lead to the Adventurer's Guild. First, we have to stop the two paths on the left and right of the main street. One of the paths was warded off by Wako. What to do about the rest.
When I was thinking about it, Setia made a suggestion.
"Takuto-sama, the Wood Bless can protect those around a tree from corrosion, what should we do?"
I had completely forgotten about that. There was such magic. When I looked at Mangetsu-san and the others, they bowed their heads. That will happen.
"Do it. We'll set it up in the middle of the main street"
"I understand"
I give the order and Setia creates a tree in the middle of the main street that constantly activates Bless. And then Mangetsu-san and the others also move.
"We'll attract the enemy around this tree!"
