Chapter 520: Goblins stronghold (7)
In the end, they may not be as power-hungry – or crazy – as Zombie instantly assumed them to be…
The blue undead’s eyes widened.
The best option would be to ask Cranberry as she had the memories of Patience, and would be able to answer him immediately…
Or…
In’re.
Since she was banished by the church herself, she might know something that might clear out the troublesome part.
After all – it was important to know whether the major religion was actually his ally or enemy…
Not to mention that it might have been the reason for the healer’s essential character setting.
“…”
As the blue undead seemed to have lost himself in thought, the bulbous monster glanced away from him and waved his lanky arm at the deformed creatures left alive, silently ordering them to ambush their opponent.
For a second, it seemed that they would actually accomplish it…
*BOOOOOOOOM*
Until Zombie didn’t lift one foot and unleashed a devastating kick that tore through the sneaking forces as if they were all made out of paper.

“Curious… very curious indeed…”
The blue undead returned to his idle stance and a mocking smirk returned to his face as the destruction that he caused had left only a handful of deformed creatures alive – and that included the bulbous spawner monster.
“Hey~ Why don’t you tell me more about what the church had in mind while sending you… materials…”
“…!”
Zombie’s eyes flashed with pale blue light and the bulbous monster trembled like a leave faced with the hurricane.
“…I…I…!”
For a few seconds, it actually looked as if the monster was going to resist the power of tier 2 lust-based skill, mind break…
“…they… the people of the system’s faith church… they knew bout me… They knew that I have been blessed by the ruler of the monster city and they offered to help me get more strength and recognition in exchange for information… “
But in the end, not only the creature’s original face but even the faces that were growing out of its torso twisted into a lovestruck expression and the bulbous creature started talking without hesitation, wanting nothing more than to please the blud undead.
“Once I proved useful, they offered me a method of absorbing other creatures… I don’t know where did they learned about my inborn unique ability, overgrowth, but I wasn’t going to ask them as long as I got what I wanted. With the materials they delivered to me, I was able to create an army of capable warriors that earned me the recognition of the monster city’s ruler, and he granted me the privilege of taking over the last outpost guarding the trade route… the one we are here now…”
The creature boasted, trying to prop up its enormous head to look more distinguished, but failing.
“…I see…”
Zombie nodded furrowing his brows.
“What about the church people?”
He asked in a slightly annoyed tone because it seemed like the bulbous monster was happy with whatever he said up until that point and was just staring in awe at the blue undead knight.
“They… After I send them a batch of my amalgamations, they said that they are not interested and that my ability is not what they were looking for in the end…”
The monster revealed with a scowl.
“So they didn’t threaten you or anything? Then why would you think that I was sent by them?”
Zombie furrowed his brows even more and squinted his eyes at the creature.
“…because of the information, I shared with them…”
The bulbous monster revealed with a hint of worry.
“If I gave them information about a monster that was close to the ruler of the monster city, that monster would either join their side or be assassinated by an undead… The messenger that brought me instructions of what to do for them was an undead too… It only seemed reasonable to think that they would want to get rid of me to…”
Although it was under the lust-based charm spell, the bulbous creature showed a glimpse of the actual intellect…
Maybe before the church of system’s faith’s people messed with it, this particular monster was a cunning and clever one…
“Fascinating… You know what? I decided that I will keep you alive – if it turns out that it’s just a part of the story, and my Cranberry will know what’s going on, I will kill you off immediately, but as long as it’s something that shouldn’t be happening, you will be spared at least while we will have a talk with In e about those church people, how does it sound to you?”
The blue undead asked – constantly keeping up the mind break skill active and focused on the bulbous monster.
“Ah! Doing your bidding is a pleasure!”
The face of the creature turned more green which probably meant that it was blushing, but honestly, the blue undead didn’t want to think about it.
“I will help you in whatever way I ca-GHOUGH…!”
“!!!”
The creature declared with a flushed face but before it could finish the sentence, its eyes bulged out and became bloodshot.
As it started frothing, its massive head began glowing with pulsating light and a sigil began burning itself into its massive forehead.
“Tsk…! AS IF!”
The blue undead clicked his tongue from dissatisfaction and reached out to Kopia without hesitation.
Before the sentient sword could protest that she will not leave her scabbard in a protest for getting separated from Monty, Zombie went ahead and detached the scabbard from his waist…!
*STAB*
…the sheathed sword started glowing with a threatening white light with a violet tinge and the blue undead trusted it just like that into the creature’s head, puncturing the sigil before it even properly formed.
*stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab* *stab*
“…oh…!”
The blue undead raised his brow as the skill he used – impale – did not just add to the thrusting power of the single attack but as an added effect, tens of holes had been suddenly poked into every single vital spot adding an honestly unnecessary step to the already deadly attack.

“…tsk…”
The blue undead furrowed his brows looking at the message – that went a step further than normal and explained the skill to him.
It seemed like since the sigil hasn’t been properly formed, the creature didn’t count as a sigil monster – so he didn’t receive the massive amount of EXP.
Still, the skill he got was good – amazing even – depending on the situation and opponent.
“…”
Zombie furrowed his brows, staring at the mutilated body of the Ceaseless Spawner – or more accurately – at the half-burnt sigil of the Eternal.
The timing of the creature’s change was… rather unfortunate to say the least…
“…there’s another thing I have to worry about now, isn’t that perfect…”
The blue undead scoffed before turning to the remaining deformed monsters called amalgamations.
“Well, sorry – now I have to be extra careful…”
He said with an expression that told them that he wasn’t sorry at all – before both the sheathed sword in his right hand and the golden shield on his left hand started glowing with intense light…
