Chapter 111: Battle Against the Undead – Part 1
When they appeared, Luan, Maira, Cristina, Catharina, and Ingrid were in the same forest that fought the army of the undead.
“This portal that connects to our home is only open for 12 hours, and I will make a quick formation to prevent monsters from going through it and arriving at our home.” Luan, having finished speaking, had already started working on the formation.
As soon as Luan finished, and they were about to walk, Ingrid remembered something and said, “Luan, I found something suspicious. I don’t know if it has a meaningful purpose, but I think I should inform you.”
“Well, tell me?” Luan asked.
“Hmm, the moment I tried to find you before, I noticed that the neighbor was draining blood. I thought it could be someone who killed an ox or something and that was why it was draining blood, but then I thought better of it… Isn’t it strange?” Ingrid wasn’t sure, but she thought it was strange, since it was a wealthy neighborhood, they wouldn’t have had to do something like kill an ox and drain it in the backyard.
Luan frowned. “Yes, this is very strange… When we return, I will investigate this further. It may be nothing, but I don’t want to take the risk.”
“I also find it strange,” Maira said, “After all, I never heard that someone in the neighborhood killed and drained the blood of an ox or other large animal in the house itself. There are even some who have a farm and do that, but never at home.”
“In any case, we don’t need to think about it now, let’s start walking. I already felt the presence of some monsters. Stay alert; soon we will start fighting,” Luan warned.
“Yeah!” The girls screamed in unison. It looked like they were eager to test the new armor and weapons.
“Luan, I know this is beside the point now, but could you not make a firearm? Or create a spell to improve one?” Maira asked.
“Yes, I can. I intend to do that, but not now. It is more complex to make and handle than a sword… But on second thought, if it were you, a pistol would be better than a sword.” Luan knew how good a sniper his mother was, and he also had her Origin that could scan gun bullets, and he started to be thoughtful and planning some simpler firearm plans. He couldn’t do anything too complicated for now, as he was still weak, but if it was a pistol, it was possible.
“Mm? I asked without much hope, but since you said that, I will be looking forward to it,” Maira rejoiced. At first, when she started learning to shoot, she didn’t like it much, but now, it was a great way to de-stress.
“Well, we’ll talk about it later. See, they’re here.” Luan pointed to a horde of the living dead.
“Tsk, the living dead again!?” Catharina clicked her tongue while saying with twisted lips.
“It is unpleasant, but I will do my best!” Cristina said as she pulled her sword from its sheath.
“Of course, I will also fight. I just think it’s really unpleasant.” Seeing that even Cristina was full of courage, Catharina no longer complained and pulled the sword from its sheath around her waist and added, “I’m not even going to summon the zombies. I want to improve on my own.”
“Yes, use them if necessary. If not, it’s better to improve, since if you improve, it will be something safer than having the strength of a staff that summons zombies,” Luan said.
“I know that,” Catharina grimaced and said, “I’m not as silly as you think.”
“Luan, should I fight too?” Ingrid didn’t know if Luan wanted to train Maira, Cristina, and Catharina, so she asked.
“We will do the same as last time: let them fight first, only when they get tired we will take action,” Luan replied.
“Okay.” Ingrid nodded.
Cristina acted first, slightly bending her knees and putting the sword in her mouth, and biting down on it. Putting both hands back, she ran like a ninja with the sword in her mouth, and then flames broke out in her hands and her speed increased a lot!
*Whoosh!*
When she got close to a zombie, Cristina took the sword from her mouth, but not in the traditional way, but with the blade facing down, and she turned her wrist and with her 160 cm tall body, she jumped almost 1 meter high, and in the process, she cut off the zombie’s head. Before falling to the ground, she kicked against the head of another zombie, exploding the zombie’s head with the kick she had executed and did a backward turn, and landed on her feet, crouching a little, almost putting her hands on the ground.
Seeing that now she was being surrounded by the living dead, she changed the position of the sword, holding it in the traditional way, and when she stood up, she turned her foot on the ground like a pinwheel. As she turned with the sword, she cut five living dead in half.
“Applause! Applause!” Catharina said as she applauded. “You were amazing, Cristina!”
“Thank you, I think…” Cristina was embarrassed. There were also her cheeks, which tomatoes would have recognized as ‘big sister.'”
“Mom, we can’t let Cristina take all the credit; let’s go faster!” Catharina was filled with a fighting spirit.
“That one looks strong.” Maira pointed to a Zombie Bear with blue fur and a good part of the rib exposed.
By the time she said that, Maira had already targeted the Zombie Bear as a target, there was a distance of 60 meters between Maira and the Zombie Bear.
The Zombie Bear felt Maira’s gaze and was alert. However, he was able to see her the moment Maira decided to act.
*Whoosh!*
Maira’s sword sliced through the Zombie Bear’s waist, tearing from the right side to the left. The guts came out, and when the Zombie Bear’s legs became weak, and he roared in pain, Maira cut the Zombie Bear’s head from the bottom up.
“Luan, that Zombie Bear was quite strong, yes?” Ingrid, who saw this, commented.
“Yes, he was at least 30 times stronger than an ordinary man,” Luan replied.
“Wow! I know she has equipment that equals 30 and her strength is 40 times stronger than an ordinary man, but it is still surprising how she killed this Zombie Bear so easily,” Ingrid said while praising Cristina. “Your mother is also amazing.”
“Yes, this- I will help her to reach the pinnacle of this world,” Luan said with a serious look.
‘This?’ Ingrid didn’t think about it too much, and hearing what he said next, she exclaimed, “Yes, that would be fabulous!”
“When you have time, you can visit your mother and help her too. I know you must be very concerned about her.” Luan ran a hand over her head and said gently.
“Yes, I would love to do that. Thank you, Luan.” Ingrid turned and smiled brightly at him.
“If you’re really grateful,” Luan said while pointing at his lips, “Give me a kiss.”
Ingrid’s cheeks flushed instantly like a volcano about to erupt. She had taken a severe blow this time. But she looked in the direction of Maira, Cristina, and Catharina; seeing that they were focused on the fight, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Luan’s lips, and started to whistle, pretending that nothing had happened in the middle of that battlefield.
Seeing Ingrid’s cute actions, Luan laughed and turned back to watch his mother and sisters battle.
