Book 5: Chapter 2: Odd Hobbies

Scarlet

I let out a lazy yawn as I continue lying down in the middle of a frozen wasteland in the Arctic while letting the zombies around me take turns chomping on me. All Class IV zombies, of course. And only with me periodically cutting my arms with my own claws to open up wounds for them to get into.

Seeing as they cant actually pierce my skin and all.

Its a good thing these undead are almost all unintelligent. They make for a rather nice boat of corruption to get that achievement with.

Although I will admit, lying here letting mostly dead things chomp on me and infect me with viruses all day for the past few days has been more than a little boring.

Im pretty sure youd be labeled as a weirdo with a strange fetish if the internet saw this Tar mutters, but I ignore him.

Theres nothing wrong with sitting here grinding achievements from non-sapient demons.

Most people wouldnt cut open their own skin to let said demons infect them with viruses Tar retorts quietly.

I act like I didnt hear him.

More importantly, just how many freaking viruses and diseases am I going to have to cure anyways?!

Tar doesnt say anything for a second while looking off to the side as If I didnt just ask him a question.

I know you heard me.

He sighs and turns to me before pausing a second and eventually answering, You need to cure instances of corruption from one million different beings.

I sit up straight in an instant after hearing him, sending the zombies piled on top of me flying high up into the air until they leave the sight of normal humans as my gaze locks on the furball.

You mean to tell me Ive been wasting my time here letting zombies chomp on me? I exclaim.

Tar stays silent for a second and meekly answers, Not entirely.

Right. Because the infections each counted as one different being, right?

Just have to go from horde to horde letting each undead in the hordes infect me.

Only problem is that the sapient undead tend to run at the sight of me. Which is rather rude.

But even thats fixable simply by using Princesss Decree. A rather handy skill that lets me order them to infect me.

Im pretty sure that wasnt what the Demon King had in mind when he etched the Demon Kings Rule skill Tar comments, pointing out the Demon Kings likely thoughts on the matter.

Meh.

Anyways, I do wonder when Ill be able to talk to Gramps next. Hes been absolutely against me heading to Tartarus ever since the whole void invasion thing, and since hes busy doing something right now he wouldnt say what he wont even accept calls.

Which is very unlike him.

Hes the strongest being in the universe, so hell be fine, Tar says, reassuring me. The Voided Overlord still cant cross into the universe yet and wont be able to for nearly a century, so theres nothing to worry about right now.

Yeah, guess youre right.

I continue walking for a little while before reaching a rather large glacier. One that I sense quite a few undead just hanging out inside.

Time to get infected some more.

I swear, my days have become rather boring lately.

And whose fault is that? Tar comments, making me glance at him for a second before facing forwards again.

Yours for telling me the requirements of the achievement.

He doesnt respond.

I smirk.

Anyways, undead ahoy.
