Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

Hehehe! Poor Toyokawa Shoko and Kerry, just envy me!

After all, Mr. Zhen and I are the real magicians in the team!

Although someone said that they wanted some little curses about misplaced balls, in fact, no one could refuse to rub the fireball! No!

Chapter 265 Where is my apprentice?

After coming out of the clinic, Kazuma roughly understood one thing: the spell did not point out the way out.

Instead, he was guided to come over and get the props.

However, this also allowed him to obtain this magical artifact. Kazuma himself couldn't say whether this was lucky or unfortunate.

I can't let go of the clay figurine and Mana.

However, they still had no idea how to get out.

"Old man, are you done saying goodbye?"

Kazuma shook the clay figurine in his hand and looked at Shimura Akira over there.

Shimura Akira, looking distraught, shook his head slightly.

"Go ahead. Rather than letting him keep thinking about it for my own selfish desires, it's better to free him as soon as possible."

After crying for a while, the old man offered to help end his son's suffering.

Kirito stepped forward, patted the old man's shoulder, and led him forward. Kazuma, who insisted on doing it himself even though casting spells required energy, raised the clay figurine in his hand and pointed to the sky.

A blue line of fire shot out from the clay figurine and hovered above the coffin. The corpse, which had been reluctant to lie down, finally collapsed weakly.

No one looked back, and they continued walking forward, preparing to find a spell material for Kazuma to use the pathfinding magic again.

……

At the same time, at the edge of the blood sea where Kirito had been before.

Eight hundred bhikkhunis stood on the cliff.

Beside her were several high-ranking members of the church who all looked shocked.

"See? If you want to leave here, the only way is to sacrifice Miyako."

Watching the corpses enter the sea of blood, she spoke without mercy.

The "air raid sirens" that sounded from time to time in the sky were very familiar to her.

After all, it was with that kind of voice that she ate the Son of the Stars.

And every creature that is eroded by its blood rain and turned into an undead will return to the beach after hearing its wailing every six hours, enter the sea again, and undergo the ceremony of returning to the sea.

She looked at the darkness at the bottom of the blood sea with some disdain.

"How stubborn! It's been over ten years, and yet there are more and more of them? These unqualified guys..."

No one around her could understand what she said, only she could understand, or see it.

The darkness at the bottom of the water is not mud, but a group of completely rotten zombies wandering on the seabed.

Those guys have been initially infected, but they rely on their human will to stubbornly resist the call from the higher-dimensional creatures, unwilling to become minions of monsters.

The call of the great being dragged them to the seaside, but they themselves were unwilling to accept the "favor" of that being.

I can't leave, and I can't obey, so I can only wander here on the seabed.

This impure thing made the eight hundred nuns feel a little disgusted.

"Why can't you understand...why won't you go to heaven with the rest of your fellow man?"

She stood there and watched more and more corpses gathering here.

In the distant history, there have been cases of sacrificial utensils being lost, but every time a mysterious white-haired old woman would hand the head to her somewhere, as if it were the guidance of God.

But she felt a little puzzled this time. Why... why the time for the ceremony had arrived, but the head still hadn't appeared.

Could it be that the head was not lost? However, she did not see any sacrificial utensils except in the place where the singing was noisy.

As for the noisy place, she didn't waste her time going there. The people there would have probably been torn to pieces and assimilated by the zombies long ago.

Moreover, even if that place was there, it should have been searched thoroughly by the corpses long ago. If the corpses found any sacrificial utensils, they would definitely take them to the ceremony site on their own initiative.

As she thought about it, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

During every sea return ceremony, all the corpses should come here for pilgrimage, unless they are trapped, there is no exception. No matter what they are doing, they must return to the seaside to receive the blessing when they hear the mother goddess's cry.

But... why are there so few corpses this time?

It's not that there are fewer than ten or twenty corpses, but since a large number of people were obviously brought in this time, the eight hundred nuns discovered that the number of corpses participating in the ceremony this time was almost half of that of more than ten years ago.

Where are the people? Where are my people?

She looked towards the way she came in confusion, but there was no one there either. No more corpses were coming over. Moreover, there were already corpses returning from the sea, which was a sign that the sea return was about to end.

But at this time there were still only about a hundred zombies.

And she suddenly noticed that the blessing the corpses received this time seemed to be more powerful than before.

At that time, the corpses would only notice obvious changes after returning from the sea many times. However, this time, even the lowest-level half-corpses who could not communicate with their companions and lived in complete chaos and confusion had evolved combat organs after returning to land, or more eyes and limbs, or hard shells.

A large number of feather zombies appeared in the sky. They shook the moisture off their wings and soared into the sky with their wings fluttering.

Moreover, these zombies seemed to have their own goals and moved in a unified manner towards the city.

What…what did they do? Completely unaware of what was happening, the eight hundred nuns closed their eyes and shared the perspective of the corpses below. They all followed the instructions of the corpses with seafood on their faces and headed towards the clinic in unison.

Because most corpses can only feel that they are in happiness, and some even have no ability to think, so there is a special kind of corpse, Yaobikuni, who calls that thing a brain corpse.

Those things are like the command units of the Tyranid swarm, obeying the will of the great being. As nodes, they can command the actions of other zombies. If the great being needs it, all zombies can instantly become its soldiers.

And now the entire army is attacking as if to conquer something.

The eight hundred nuns were confused about the situation, but they immediately called a few people around them who were frightened to the point of being stunned.

"Follow them and see what happened. No, just in case, go get that knife first."

Although the eight hundred nuns did not know what was going on, they decided to take the weapon.

……

At the same time, at the foot of the festival mountain, Toyokawa Shoko was talking to Yuno beside her.

"So that's how it is. Danzo-sama takes you with him to hunt monsters everywhere! I also want to be like you. Do I need to do any training? Or take exams? Do I need to join some official organization, or receive training from a young age? Look, I've been through this kind of thing before, so I think I can do it too..."

Yuno glanced cautiously at her mother who was lying on her adoptive father with her eyes closed, then leaned over to Xiangzi and spoke in a low voice.

After listening to the story, she started to address them as Danzo-sama, Mitomon-sama, and Sarutobi-sama.

"Hmm... probably not possible."

However, Xiangzi, who said this, seemed not to realize one thing: she was giving hope to a dying person.

However, it seemed like not long ago, she had stood next to Kerry and criticized Kirito for giving Yuuki hope when he clearly couldn't save her, saying that he was a clueless person.

Xiangzi didn't know what he was thinking about while talking, staring at the dark sky in this space for a long time.

But on the horizon, what she saw was a vague shadow like a dark cloud.

"That's it?! The flying thing they said?"

Xiangzi suddenly realized that the target of those rapidly moving things seemed to be him.

266

Chapter 266 Kazuma: Meteor Ichijo!

Xiangzi was a little panicked when she saw the overwhelming shadow, but at least she remembered to call for support as soon as possible.

[Toyokawa Shoko: A group of monsters are coming towards me! ]

[Kerry: I see, coming soon!]

What Kerry said about seeing it was not false. When they were patrolling in the city, they heard a buzzing above their heads.

As a result, I realized that there was a sound as if a helicopter was about to crash, so I raised my flashlight and shone it towards the sky.

Under the illumination of the strong flashlight, a large number of black shadows appeared in the fog, as dark as a swarm of locusts.

If it weren't for the huge wings that kept shaking, several people would probably really suspect that it was just dark.

"Buzz!"

Amidst the irritating sound of a thousand flies buzzing around one's head, Xiangzi pushed my wife Yuno into the house.

"There's an enemy attack, hide in the house!"

Xiangzi didn't know why the other party was coming towards her, but she didn't intend to take it head-on.

She hid her body in the side of a house.

He would occasionally look towards the horizon, his fully loaded gun ready to aim at any time.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

But before she could make any move, a series of explosions came from above her head.

Xiangzi immediately clenched his teeth, and his golden eyes kept shaking.

The enemy fired the first shot, not caring whether the power was enough at such a distance or not, and not considering the range, they launched an attack directly in their direction.

"ah--!"

The huge noise startled the people in the two rooms, and the screams that came one after another informed those things of their current location.

"Don't come out!"

Xiangzi couldn't do much and could only growl something inside.

There was no time for her to think about how to make a choice. Her last bit of rationality prompted Xiangzi to decide to mainly guard the house where the uninfected people were.

"Buzz!"

If you don't count the extremely complex terrain, it's not particularly far from the Blood Sea to here, and the enemy is moving very quickly from the air.

Almost as soon as the bullets rang out, the annoying voice rang out.

Squinting his eyes, Xiangzi looked up into the air.

"You shouldn't have thermal imaging equipment in the car!"

Xiangzi cursed himself for being careless when he went out. He scanned the sky but didn't dare to use the flashlight.

Because at this time, the muscular parts of everyone's body can block bullets, but the very abstract thing is that the bone strength is not enough. If they are shot in the vital parts several times, they will still die. If you turn on the flashlight towards the sky, it will undoubtedly expose your position.

But the situation was more serious than Xiangzi had imagined.

"Om!!"

Just like a large, ferocious insect swooping down from the sky, the winged monster quickly passed over the area where Xiangzi was. The next moment, a loud noise was heard, and Xiangzi felt as if dust was falling all around him as if a collapse had occurred.

My mind flashed quickly, it was a stone!

Those things are probably holding rocks and smashing them down! And the cheap metal shed here probably can't hold it up at all!

Just as Xiangzi thought, the roof where she was hiding had already sunken deeply. The old shed struggled to resist the impact of the stones, but was still twisted inward.

"Ah ah!"

The Kumamoto-born internet celebrity hiding inside screamed in fear, watching the roof sink inward to reveal the outline of a stone. It was definitely not a good experience.

The enemy's behavior of transforming into heroic bombardiers made Xiangzi extremely anxious, and she had to go out to fight.

After all, Xiangzi also learned through shared intelligence that this place used to be a military material storage area. If these things contained explosives or something, the next scene might be a traditional Yamato drama-style Kamizka-style scene.

However, Xiangzi also knew that if he died during this wave, it would basically mean the loss of the position.

When the time comes, she will just wait for the bonfire and then her brothers and sisters will beat these things into a pulp. There will be no hope for those people in the house.

The support team was also rushing forward, firing into the air from time to time, hoping to shoot down two more to relieve Xiaoxiang's pressure.

Kazuma and Keri were running in front, while Kirito was responsible for protecting the people behind. The only information Keri and the others knew now was that they were likely to capture Kamishiro Miyako as a sacrifice, and this point could not be lost.

"Damn it! How could this happen?! We're all gathering a bunch of NPCs at the Firelink Shrine, and then they tell everyone that monsters are rushing the shrine. If the NPCs can't handle it, they're all doomed. If a game does that, it's absolutely rubbish!"
