Solo Eating to Overpowered Chapter 8

Episode 8. The prince hunts witches.

======================

“Have you been kidnapped by a zombie?”

I turned my gaze to the monastery window.

It should be broad daylight at this time.

However, the reason it was dark was because there were dark clouds due to heavy rain.

As it is dark, your vision will be limited. They probably kidnapped me for that purpose.

Wow, this is amazing. This world’s zombies. Nowadays, instead of eating it right away, do you think they are kidnapping people so they can age it and eat it?

But one of the villagers?

“One person?”

“There is only one! I am a girl who moved to the next town three months ago. that···. “The prince was working on it…”

“Am I putting in the work?”

“Because she is such a beauty.”

Grill whispered to me while looking at the people around him.

“And I don’t know if you remember, but I tried to commit suicide out of shame after being dumped by that woman…”

“…”

I quietly closed my eyes at those words.

Oh, I feel embarrassed.

Did he commit suicide not because he was sorry about his situation, but because he was dumped by a woman?

If Seonghwang finds out, he’ll bury it!

I said with a groan.

“So how were you taken away?”

“yes? that···.”

Grill floundered.

It was actually me who was embarrassed.

Outside the monastery, villagers stand guard. If you stay inside the monastery, there will be no danger. It’s crazy to even think about leaving in the first place.

“That woman must have a very kind heart. “I’m the kind of person who doesn’t leave alone when I see someone sick, so I said I’d get some herbs for someone who was injured…”

What is that cancer-like development?

Anyway, bite wounds are not that dangerous if you take holy water.

Of course, the magic rejection reaction is extremely painful.

“So the villagers gathered together and decided to form a search party.”

“I heard you’re scared of zombies?”

“She was a herbalist in the village. Thanks to her, more than one or two people survived. There are many people who have benefited. and···. Isn’t she one of the most beautiful people in the village? “I’m also single.”

I touched my forehead.

It was truly a pain.

“So is tracking possible?”

“There is Mr. Hans, a hunter. If it’s him, it’s probably possible. What would you like to do?”

“Make a search party. Goes.”

“You mean a search party?”

Grill made a surprised face.

He probably seemed surprised that he was saving the woman who kicked him.

“Not only is it out of memory, whether it’s in or out of the garage, but people’s lives are important, too.”

Of course it’s lame.

If the zombie dragged the woman away instead of immediately eating her, there must be a reason.

There may also be something close to the cause of this situation.

I’m sure you’re using your head.

The ‘party’ who caused this incident is trying to lure something out.

If we search for the kidnapped woman, we will be able to resolve this situation.

Actually, there was something strange about it, so I had to look into it.

* *

“This way. this way···!”

I walked through the rainy forest wearing shabby leather shoes.

The place 10 people went to with torches was a cave quite far from the monastery.

A man identified as Hans the Hunter nodded, looking at the flesh and blood on the grass and the footprints in the mud.

“I guess this is the right place.”

“You’ve come to the right place.”

I looked into the cave.

No, I didn’t really find it, maybe I was lured.

There’s no way these guys who use their brains to intentionally leave traces.

What is the purpose? Is this simply a diversionary operation to separate the villagers?

Or are you planning to lure them in little by little and hunt them?

I looked into the cave.

The inside of the cave was a deep dark place where no light entered. I also couldn’t hide the smell of a rotting corpse that stung my nose.

“I’m sure it’s here.”

It’s a zombie den.

The cause of the plague may also be here.

There is a high possibility that there are zombie rats, human zombies, and other wild animals inside.

If we go in, it’s like providing a good buffet for the zombies to feast on.

There is no need to go in even though you clearly know it is a trap.

“First of all, should I get some cosmetic oil from the monastery and pour it on? Then we will be able to exterminate the zombies.”

The cave is also sloping downwards. If you burn it for about half a day, you can reduce it by half, if not all.

Now that I know the origin, there is nothing good about overdoing it.

The villagers seemed nervous and asked what I said.

“Then what about the Morrían?”

“Morian?”

As I mumbled an unknown name, Grill next to me whispered softly.

“This is the woman and daughter who were captured.”

“Are you even alive?”

The men stamped their feet as if they were nervous.

They all fell in love with that woman named Morrían.

Of course, since she is a benefactor who is indebted to you, she would want you to save her.

“Just looking at Am here, it looks like a dark place. “For undead, this is where you get buffs.”

“buff?”

“It’s a place where you become stronger.”

Above all, it is dangerous even if you are a limp zombie because you are in the dark and cannot see clearly.

“What would you like to do?”

When Grill asked a question, he looked into the cave.

This cave is quite uncomfortable.

As expected, if you go in, there will be a trap lurking.

“I’m sure there aren’t any zombie bears.”

That’s just the specification. A zombie bear? As of now, I don’t know if I can prevent it.

Unless you’re a Warrior, how can you deal with such a monster?

“What should I do?”

The village people asked.

It looks like he wants to go in.

But if they have an idea, they will know that they shouldn’t move rashly.

Now is the time to step back.

Now that you know the source, all you have to do is prepare to deal with it properly.

It is impossible to sacrifice 10 people to save one person.

“For now, let’s go back to the monastery. “I went in for no reason and became a victim…”

At that time, I instinctively looked back.

A chill ran down my spine.

I reflexively looked into the forest.

A thick stench stung my nose.

A black shadow came and bit my shoulder.

“Aaaah!”

Sharp teeth tore off flesh. Soft skin is torn and muscles are torn. Bones are crushed.

My vision rotated.

-Hwang…nim!

-Three… nine…

the sound is getting farther away.

My vision darkened.

The big wolf was biting my shoulder and dragging me into the cave.

I turned my gaze and looked at the wolf.

The smell of a rotting corpse. I felt an unpleasantly strong magical power.

Rotten! Was it a zombie wolf?

“Let go of this!”

I grabbed the shovel blade briefly and plunged it into his neck.

My posture is awkward. He is being bitten by the shoulder and dragged away.

Because I didn’t apply enough force, I couldn’t even make a single scratch on the guy’s thick leather.

Dangerous. It’s so fucking dangerous…!

If you are dragged along like this, you will be surrounded by zombies and eaten.

Like what you see in movies, you might see limbs being torn apart and intestines being eaten alive.

“shit-!”

I concentrated my holy power on my hands. The [Terrible Curse] skill has been activated.

It feels like the sexual power in my body is draining away quickly.

My head became dizzy and I heard a faint voice.

[I gave a blessing.]

I’m anemic and it’s not time to worry about anything.

The blade of the shovel shone softly.

The shovel contains [Blessing], the reverse effect of [Terrible Curse].

“You bastard!”

The shovel blade filled with blessing energy was inserted into the zombie wolf’s neck.

Phew!

It doesn’t just burn your skin, it melts away.

The sensation of metal chopsticks being caught in fire melting the plastic came to my fingertips.

The blade of the shovel digs deep.

However, the zombie wolf did not let go.

“You’re so stubborn…!”

I unplugged it and plugged it back in.

and···.

thud···!

It was only when his throat completely melted and his body twisted that he was able to escape from the zombie wolf.

I rolled on the floor several times. Piled up bones and rotting corpses served as a cushion.

I hit my head on the floor and screamed.

“Aaaah! It fucking hurts… this···. “You bastard…!”

It really hurts like no joke.

I touched my shoulder with a trembling hand.

My fingers touched the hollow skin and I flinched.

A scorching heat rose up, as if on fire.

An indecipherable voice came from the corner of his mouth, whether it was a scream or a moan.

“Why do I have to go through this trouble?”

Thrive should also have chosen Warrior. At best, I had to go with the gangster tank class! Or, if I had played as a ranger, I might have avoided the wolf attack.

I wrapped my shoulders and injected holy power into my hands.

It is a basic healing technique possessed by a priest. As a bonus, [Terrible Curse]. No, now I have used a skill that can be called [Blessing].

It feels like the sexual power in my body is draining out. In proportion to that, the wound healed quickly.

The skin burst due to the magical power that went into the muscles. For a moment, the bones were aligned and new skin grew.

“It hurts so bad.”

A rejection reaction of holy power and magical power. Treating an undead bite was accompanied by terrible pain.

I was relieved to see that it was completely healed without any scars.

“No. “Now is not the time to be complacent.”

I turned my gaze forward.

My vision is dark. I couldn’t even see clearly in front of me.

Maybe it was thanks to [Mind’s Eye] for a moment that I was able to see the beings walking in the dark.

-Koooooooo…

A horde of zombies.

They opened their mouths as if they had found delicious food.

ruined.

I must have been so exhausted that I had to deal with guys like that.

Oh Gaia, goddess of love and mercy!

“…Please save me.”

I grabbed the shovel.

* *

It is a foul-smelling cave.

Rotten corpses and bones roll around on the floor. As a bonus, there were walking corpses cleaning it up.

The zombies were eating the bones and rotting corpses on the floor, but when they saw me, they stood up.

It approaches staggeringly.

Fortunately, there are no fast-footed beast-type zombies like before.

“I’m going crazy.”

I picked up the shovel and put it on the ground.

[Summon a holy pool.]

A pool of holy water gushes up from the floor.

A pool of holy water about 5 meters long was created around me.

The approaching zombies stumbled and fell when they stepped on a puddle. The zombies that touched the puddle slowly melted away.

Another zombie stepped on the zombie and came closer, then stepped on a puddle again and fell. The zombie steps on it again.

It moves slowly, using its companion as a stepping stone, and slowly approaches.

They were evil spirits that instinctively moved to eat the living, even though they knew they would disappear.

It was that creepy.

I swung the shovel at the approaching guys.

The zombie’s head was broken and brain fluid was sprayed out.

This is just a waste of time. We need to exterminate them more clearly and on a wider scale.

“[Plague of Debility].”

I took a breath and exhaled. I lifted the shovel once again, slammed it into the ground, and closed my eyes.

Runes were engraved on the floor where the zombies were, and bright powder of light rose up.

[Performing a wide-range blessing.]

Particles of light rising from the floor reached the zombie.

The rotten flesh began to burn.

One by one, the zombies turned to ash and disappeared.

One two seven ten…

good! It’s effective. If it’s like this…!

thud-!

My once bright face suddenly darkened.

I raised my head.

ㅡKoooooooooooooo….

The size alone is 3m.

Thick, shaggy leather fur, large arms, and a massive build. A bipedal beast with claw-like claws stood proudly in front of me.

“Teddy bear. “Why are you coming out here?”

It’s a zombie bear.

I don’t know what type of bear it is…

[Name: King of Predation.

age:···.

Specialty: Biting. Crush. Strike. Eat the intestines.

+Enhanced by necromancy. ]

…This is not a guy I can handle.

I don’t know what type of bear it is, but it looks like it was a very vicious bear that turned into a zombie.

“driving me crazy.”

Every time a zombie bear approached me, I took a step back.

With a wide-range blessing, particles of light move without hesitation even when they touch the body and burn up.

The zombie bear’s paw crushed the melting zombie and dipped it into a puddle of holy water.

The fur melts thickly, but it is minimal due to the thick leather.

The level is different from the zombies we have faced so far.

Should I run away? However, if you show your back, it will attack you at breakneck speed.

What is scarier than human zombies are undead beasts.

They have legs that are faster than humans.

If you go towards the sloping cave entrance, the back smash will be scorching. And I will die instantly.

“Should a man die once or twice?”

I am satisfied with having already been electrocuted once. Being crushed to death by zombies in my second life is not an option.

I stretched out my hand.

I gathered my strength.

“[Resurrection of the Dead].”

As soon as he finished speaking, holy power spread around the cave.

The corpses in the cave trembled.

The undead zombie, spouting white powder and holy breath, slowly arose.

ㅡOooooh!

Instead of the strange cries of ghosts, a clear and beautiful hymn rang out in the cave.
