3 [1-3] Zero Day Attack Victims Meeting (2/2)

The crowd's banner, ”Death to traitors! which the crowd had been holding up, was swept up in the wind and covered the girl's body. She wore it like a cloak to hide her tattered underwear.

A headless knight, if you will.

Kahle had an idea about the undead.

--Dullahan ......!

It was a high-ranking undead that should never have been born from an execution site.

It had the power to make cursed prophecies that could kill people, and it was also a powerful warrior. A party of experienced adventurers could barely take on one of them.

I've never even heard of a Dullahan in the form of a little girl. ......

But this Dullahan (temporary) was even more beyond Kahle's expectations.

She thrust her sword at the crowd from the air and chanted something.

By the time Kahle realized that it was a magical chant, she had concluded her chant.

”Deathcloud x (Cross) Energy Drain.

Assembled Spell ...... ”Evil Sacrament”.

She said this in a flat, matter-of-fact tone, like a government official reading off a document. Kahle shuddered, wondering if the voice of a child, devoid of any emotion, could be so horrible.

It was a magic Kahle didn't know, but he knew it was an offensive magic.

She knew it was an offensive spell because something flew out of the sword and exploded in the middle of the crowd, leaving only a corpse in its wake.

”What ......?

At first Kahle didn't understand what had happened, because so many people had died so easily.

With a thud ...... and a powdery sound, a blood-red mist rose over a certain area, and the people in it turned into standing, dried-up corpses.

There were dozens of skeletons with human skin attached and dressed. They collapsed helplessly on the snow-covered cobblestones.

”Aaahhhh!

Aaahhhh!

The surviving crowd screamed and fled in unison. They rushed to the exits of the several plazas, kicking and crushing each other, and bumping into the onlookers in the rear who were still unaware of what had happened. Those who fell down somehow were crushed into a bloody mass of flesh.

”Hmm. So this is magic. ......

Kahle's blood ran cold as she heard the girl above her mutter.

For her, this was just a way to see what she could do. Just like when Kahle pretended to check her shoulder before work.

Dozens, if not triple digits, of people had died just for that.

So next time, let's try the sword.

The girl standing in the air looked straight down. The girl standing in the air looked straight down. ...... To be precise, she looked down at her neck, which she grasped in her left hand.

The girl's gaze was so gentle and joyful that Kahle felt numb.

The first time Kahle had cut off someone's head, on the night of the 14th, he had cried and vomited all night, unable to bear the pressure of having killed someone who deserved to die, even though he was a diabolical serial killer.

But what about this girl? She didn't seem to care that so many people had died. On the contrary, she seemed to be enjoying it. Or maybe this is what the undead are all about.

--No. This is a monster. There's nothing I can do about it. ......!

The only people in the girl's line of sight were the knights and Kahle who had led the two condemned men away.

The knight, who had been giving an impassioned speech from atop the execution table, was finally about to draw his sword with trembling hands.

Almost at the same time as Kahle raised his execution axe. The girl kicked in the air and danced.

Her blood-red sword swung with blinding speed. Her swordplay was as light as if she were dancing.

Before Kahle's eyes, the knight was dismembered while standing.

The body of the knight, his armor cut into pieces, fell onto the snow with a splash.

”d*mn ......!

When Kahle thought that there was nothing more he could do, he turned his back on the girl and jumped off the execution table.

But then the tip of a red sword crossed Kahle's line of vision.

By the time she realized that her neck had been cut off from behind, Kahle's head had left her body and was flying through the air like a ball kicked up by a child.

--I see. So this is what it feels like to be decapitated. ......

Kahle's consciousness fell into darkness as he looked down at his body lying face down in the snow with only his neck.
