Case 67: Guns versus zombie.

Case 67: Guns versus zombie.

''Hold it!''

I toss Tina my Mp7 with a bunch of explosive mags, to which she clumsily accepts.

''You too!''

This time I toss Anna my Kriss Vector, with of course, explosive mags.

''You guys know how to shoot, right?! These are explosive rounds, so shoot them carefully!''

'''' Alright! ''''

Hearing that, I pull out my newly made Saiga-12. Fortunately I did try to make some explosive rounds for this as well, just replaced the pellets with mana-filled gemstones, fairly easy.

I really wish I could use Gungnir here, but it would undoubtedly be a total disaster. Blowing up nearly half of this small city together with this zombie isn't exactly what I want to do.

*BOOM*

The giant zombie finally takes a step towards us, causing an entire area to be filled with dust stirred up around its foot.

''Fire!'' I shouted.

*Bzttttttt*

Immediately, streams of bullets fly towards the zombie, hitting it mainly on its chest area. I didn't shoot, because it's still too far for a shotgun, and I prefer to keep a distance first.

*Boom*

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

Shortly after that, a tip exploded on its chest, triggering myriads of explosion from the other tips lodged in its body.

The scene is like a firework show, the zombie's upper body is covered with orange-red explosions, and it just keeps going.

Predictably, the sudden impacts send its body tilted backward, but not quite enough to trip it over yet.

''Prepare another wave, I'll push it down!''

I fly closer to the zombie, who's still covered in smoke, then, with my 20 rounds magazine already inserted into the Saiga, I press down the trigger, dumping the whole mag onto the wobbling zombie.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

After emptying the mag, I swiftly pull away, just in time dodge a panic slap from it as well.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

Another series of explosion ensued. This time, there's a lot more of them, but the intensity wasn't as high.

Still, it was enough to completely trip it over, it seems.

*THUD*

The zombie went down with a loud thud.

Needless to say, the zombie is very angry right now. Though I'm not too sure if it has any emotion.

But, it's now waving its hands around frantically, trying to obliterate whatever things that want to stand in its way.

Due to this, the smoke cleared out quite a bit, and I could see its already grotesque appearance changed to straight up horror level gore. I don't want to explain how many holes there are on its body right now.

Yup, this is it, I'm getting choked to faint tonight. I need to sleep. I don't care how Liana would use my body afterward anymore. Not that I cared in the first place. I would love to wake up the next day finding my whole body covered with cum. God, I'm such a whore now, it's all because of my degenerate lovers. Hmph.

"!!"

Arghh, the maggots are everywhere now, fucking hell.

Fuck this guy.

*Skrt*

''Heh, you guys saw how amazing my babies were?''

''Yes, yes, dear. They're amazing, but you need to be careful in the future.'' Tina nagged.

''I understand. And, the Marquis is definitely related to this.''

''Right, the feeling I got from him was similar to the feeling I got from the two doppelgangers above, just, much stronger.''

''So Marquis Vivian is a doppelganger...'' Tina frowned. ''How do doppelgangers work anyway?''

''Their original appearances are that of mannequins, they kill people, then absorb their whole memories and personalities. Ultimately turning into the people themselves, wearing their skins.'' I explained.

''Urgh...''

''That's disturbing.''

''The worst part is, they can be manipulated by higher demons, so their ungodly camouflage can be fully utilized to harm us. Just like this case.''

'''' ... ''''

Fucking hell. At this point, I'm starting to think that the crown prince and the emperor are doppelgangers disguised as human, waging wars internally to sabotage us now.

''Sylvia!''

''Hm? Liana, and Emy too.''

''Are you alright?!'' Liana exclaimed, frantically touching my body together with Emy.

''I'm fine, just a bit exhausted.''

'''' Phew~ ''''

''...What the hell is that thing?'' She pointed to the mutilated zombie body.

''A zombie, giant one.'' I nonchalantly said.

''What's a zombie?''

...I forgot there's no such thing as a 'zombie' here, they call them animated corpses.

''Animated corpse, they're the same thing.'' I replied. ''Rather, did you guys find anything?''

''Ah, Justia should be here soon. Ask her.''

''Hah...Hah... Your... Highness...'' A voice sounded from the entrance.

There we go, right on time.

''I said... wait for me... But you ladies just kept... going...''

''We needed to find Sylvia, let it be a good exercise.'' Liana shrugged.

''Anyway, let's be brief here.'' I injected. ''The demons summoned this giant corpse, we shot it down.'' I point to the zombie's corpse, alongside the headless bodies of the demons as well.

''Hah... Understood, Your Highness, um... Are you alright?''

''I am, continue.''

''Yes! We caught a demon trying to run back to the Vivian estate earlier. Upon interrogating, he said that the Marquis is the one behind all of this, the true purpose he did not know, Your Highness.''

''Good job. Prepare a raid immediately. I might not be able to be at the front, but I'll still support you guys from behind.''

I still have my trusty Hecate after all. Though my head is throbbing right now, I hope it will ease a bit afterward so that I can shoot more accurately.

''Understood, Your Highness, please excuse me!'' Justia salutes.

''Mhmm... Let me sleep for a bit...''

Let's actually... Rest...
