Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

Upon hearing the girl's words, Kazuma paused in his tracks, which was about to follow her.

"You said you are...?"

"We are immortal too, no, actually I don't know if I am or not, but they probably are."

The girl pointed in the direction of the monster that Kazuma had killed.

The meaning is self-evident; they were referring to those monsters.

Kazuma followed the girl's lead and hid in an abandoned, dilapidated shack, where she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, I'm so tired. Okay, I told you, ask me whatever you want to know."

"What's this about the bride you're talking about?"

Kazuma first told Kerry and the others that these things might be immortal.

Then he asked the girl about other things she was interested in.

"And where is this place? Why did we suddenly end up here?"

The girl tilted her head slightly, seemingly puzzled, upon hearing Kazuma's words, but still shared what she knew.

"The divine marriage ceremony is the destiny of our divine lineage. According to our elders, each generation of the main family of the divine lineage will only have two daughters. The elder sister will be kept to continue the bloodline, while the younger sister's destiny is to undergo the divine marriage ceremony."

But I didn't want to do that. I saw the television, and I wanted to see the outside world, so I stole the sacrificial implements and ran away.

As she spoke, the girl revealed what she was holding.

Only then, when Kazuma shone his flashlight toward her hand, did he see what it was.

It was a head, a shriveled head that looked like an alien's, or perhaps a dolphin's.

Kazuma had a feeling, for some reason, that the withered eyes of that head were staring at him.

Kazuma didn't care whether the girl agreed or not. He snatched the thing and put it on the ground. He then raised the elephant tusk in his hand and smashed it down. The thing shattered under the enormous force.

I don’t care about you!

The girl was startled and took two steps back, but then looked up at the sky.

Kazuma was also a little confused, but the next moment he saw rain falling from the sky.

The rain was drizzling... no... was it really raining?

Kazuma smelled the sweet fragrance of the rainwater and finally understood why the surrounding area smelled so good.

It is this rain that truly brings out the fragrance.

It was this rain, glowing red under the flashlight beam, and tinged with the stench of blood.

This is the blood of something, and Kazuma, who is used to seeing rivers of blood, can be certain of this.

“You destroyed its head, it’s angry…”

"Crack!"

Drops of blood rained down on the shack where the two were taking shelter. The old metal shack made a series of crisp sounds as the red liquid accumulated in lines on the shack, crowding the eaves and dripping down one drop at a time.

"I originally wanted to destroy this head, but I saw you all and thought I'd wait until you got out before doing it, but now it seems too late."

Because we, the descendants of the gods, all possess original sin, and the divine marriage ceremony is meant to cleanse that sin. I escaped, and this place is the boundary between the underworld and the mortal realm. It is because I violated original sin that I was…”

"Alright, alright, it seems you don't know much either. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, little sister."

Kazuma waved his hand to interrupt the girl's act of "I'm the one who ruined you all," and shook his head.

"Give me something useful, how do we get out?"

"We can't get out..."

The girl shook her head.

"Once you come into contact with this rain, you become one with its blood and acquire original sin. A person with original sin cannot leave this space."

The girl's rambling manner gave Kazuma a headache, but he did manage to glean some crucial information.

"You mean, getting caught in this kind of rain will cause some kind of harm?"

"It's not harm, but those who get wet in the rain will turn into the same kind of... corpses as them."

Kazuma remembered what Kerry had said about the ordinary people on their side, and his expression immediately changed.

Why didn't you say this sooner!

So he immediately sent a message.

This was the twentieth minute since the screech occurred.

On the other side... where Kerry is located.

Xiangzi and Keli stood in the rain, observing their surroundings. They had already made a preliminary determination that there were no living people around, and that the houses with lights on were filled with monsters.

Then blood rain began to fall from the sky, soaking both of them.

Xiangzi looked up at the sky with dissatisfaction.

She hates rain.

However, before the two could take any further action, news of He Zhen came back.

"what?"

Xiangzi immediately turned around and looked at the dozen or so people who had fallen over there.

At this moment, all those people were shrouded in the rain.

"We must go save them!"

Without Xiangzi needing to say anything, they stopped trying to conceal their movements and rushed back to the mountainside.

The sound of running in the grass immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding "households". They scrambled out of their houses in fear, and then smiled when they saw the backs of Kerry and the other person. After one of them saw them, the surrounding corpses suddenly rushed out of the doorways like a swarm of bees.

Xiangzi and Klee worked in perfect harmony, one going to move people while the other turned back to fight the monsters.

Xiangzi immediately took out a sickle and a gun, and the terrifying sound of automatic weapons firing echoed all around.

The shadowy figures, barely visible in the thick fog, fell one by one.

The two found a room at random and settled the people in.

"Um……"

Yuno Gasai, who was on vacation with her adoptive parents, woke up in a daze to find herself being carried on a boy's back.

She instinctively wanted to scream, but she suppressed the urge and began to observe her surroundings.

But then everything spun around her, and she was put down. Inside the house, she saw her adoptive parents lying on the ground.

What's going on? A question arose in her mind. Could it be some major crime? She immediately shifted slightly to make sure her phone was still in her pocket, wanting to check if there were any guards around so she could take out her phone and call for help when the guards changed shifts.

However, the man in the crimson yukata turned and left in front of her, drawing a burning sword from his body.

The surreal scene left Yuno, who had just woken up, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

However, she vaguely heard the boy talking to a girl amidst the heavy rain.

"Are you sure it can't be killed?"

"look……"

Unaware that she was being spied on, Xiangzi squatted down. Because of Hezhen's story, they grabbed a corpse and conducted an experiment.

At this moment, what Xiangzi held in his hands was a severed human limb.

This scene, which would make an ordinary high school girl's heart stop beating, was picked up by Xiangzi as if nothing had happened, and she even shone a flashlight on it.

Kerry stared intently, and at that moment, the muscles, fibers, and even the blood in the blood vessels at the severed end of the arm seemed to be alive, constantly writhing as if trying to return to its owner.

Xiangzi was not afraid of the horrifying sight of the piece of meat moving in his hand. Instead, he raised his sickle and cut off a piece of flesh from his arm.

And at this moment, the piece of meat was still writhing as if dancing on the tip of Xiangzi's sickle.

253

Chapter 253 There is no way out.

As expected, Kazuki's intelligence was correct; this kind of thing is unkillable.

This immortality even evoked in Xiangzi a sense of sympathy for his kind.

Does she appear the same to others each time she dies and comes back to life?

Kree raised the divine sword, a sword capable of slaying those who have been reincarnated, meaning it could kill those who are undead and have reloaded save files.

However, Kree didn't know if he could kill these regenerative undead.

After all, the monsters we've encountered so far, besides these things, are just a few brothers and sisters. We can't possibly use our own people to test our swords, can we?

It would be bad if a copper wire were cut into it later.

Kerry raised his flaming sword and plunged it into a corpse on the ground.

Flames instantly exploded from a single point, engulfing the corpse. Blood dripped from the sky onto the fire, emitting a foul, acrid smell. The monster, which had been dead, suddenly opened its eyes.

He began to convulse violently.

As the monster struggled and thrashed, it was turned into roasted meat.

Man! What canned food, please? Corpse man, out!

Whether the immortality had been severed or whether it would respawn somewhere, the writhing chunks of flesh before them had indeed lost their vitality and returned to their original form.

On the other side, having received confirmation of Kerry's message, Kirito frowned as he walked through the thick fog.

Several gunshots caught his attention.

He initially suspected that it was Kerry and his men making noise, but he soon realized that something was wrong; it seemed that there was a battle taking place.

Moreover, the sounds of the firearms used were incorrect; one sounded like a single-shot shotgun, and the other sounded like some kind of rifle.

The sound of the shotgun wasn't far from him, so Kirito immediately crouched down and went over.

"Ok?"

Kirito's soft groan caught the attention of the man holding the hunting rifle. He immediately turned the gun and flashlight around nervously, but put the gun down again after discovering that there were no bloody tears on Kirito's face.
