The Villainess and I, her Zombie

Chapter 242: Epilogue (1/3)

The stench of blood was nauseatingly thick in the stagnant fog-filled air.

Three companies worth of soldiers were littering the ground with their eviscerated corpses.

"...praising that bitch and her stupid undead...! Villains...! All villains...! Every single one of them! I can't allow such evil to exist...!"

Mika mumbled to herself as she pulled out her clenched fist from the exploded torso of the last Sloth soldiers.

"Tsk...!"

She clicked her tongue as her hand trembled - she opened her palm and looked at the empty spot where her ring finger should have been and gritted her teeth feeling the scorching anger burning inside her small body.

Her armor, her skin, even her ashen hair - everything was thoroughly stained with the blood of the ones she considered to be the evildoers.

The young girl put down her messed up hand and looked around at the carnage and smiled with satisfaction.

"The justice and order were brought back."

She nodded to herself, clenching her fists.

"...but... which way should I go now...?"

She furrowed her brows and groaned.

Before the Sloth soldiers have made the mistake of revealing their sin of admiring the strength of the disgusting villainess, they were all traveling down a certain path that would safely lead them out of the sea of mist - then Mika was supposed to be escorted with all splendors that the guest of honor of her status should have, back to her home territory.

Apparently, the said path was marked in such a way that only humans could notice it, but the ashen-haired girl never bothered to inquire what was that about...

...so now she was stuck with no clue about where to go...

"Who cares, I am an ally of justice, no, the justice herself! I won't get lost like some measly villain!"

Mika shrugged her shoulders and confidently stepped into the thickest fog, stomping on the still-steaming intestines and other various organs and loose body parts of the dead soldiers.

...

...

It felt like she only walked for a few minutes and nothing in the environment has even suggested anything contradicting that observation.

"...what is going on...?"

But then why Mika was already out of breath?

"...I must have tried to go too fast... yes... I need to slow down my tempo..."

The ashen-haired girl breathed heavily and wiped the sweat off of her forehead.

But could something as boring as a few-minute sprint really push someone as strong as the Justice's Wrath to that miserable state?

Weren't her stats supposed to be the strongest in history, at least for a human?

Even so, Mika didn't let such weak-willed thoughts get her down, and simply adjusted her speed to a casual walk and continued on her way.

...

...

*GROAARGH*

After an unspecified amount of time in the milky-white mist, Mika's stomach grumbled like a giant monster.

"...that's odd... It surely hasn't been an hour yet... since when I'm such a glutton...? So embarrassing! Bruiser 97-F and Corvus would surely laughed at me!"

The ashen-haired girl blushed and massaged her stomach with an embarrassed expression.

...

...

"...! Where is it...! Where is the exit...?!"

Mika was clenching her fists and growling through her teeth, pushing forward through the fog like a compact wrath-fueled bulldozer.

The blood of the evil Sloth soldiers that was covering her not that long ago has dried out completely and crumbled into dust due to the girl's vigorous movement.

"I must be on the right path! I must be! Otherwise, I would have already met some monsters, right?!"

She scowled to herself looking around, trying to pierce the walls of mist pushing down on her with her not enhanced sight alone.

...and as if that was a magic spell that brought change into the stagnant world...

*WHOOSH*

Eight pairs of enormous pure-white wings stirred and pushed away the fog revealing a towering figure of the angel-class monster who could easily be compared to the titan-class cyclops from the end of the 9th wave, at least in terms of height.

The enormous angel-class monster was different from the ones that Mary have seen before not only because of its size and number of wings alone - while seraphims that were supposed to be the strongest highest-order angel-class monsters had three faces, this one had at least seven - all the way around its head.

"AHA! So I was lead here by fate to deal with a dreadful evil beast!"

Mika's face lighted up with a wide grin - her body began glowing - and she clenched her fists before launching herself at the new opponent.

"DIE!"

She roared and punched at the gigantic angel.

"..."

*SLAP*

*CRUSH*

The monster swatted her away like an annoying fly with just one hand and then proceeded to turn towards the crater that her body created - revealing not one or two, but five pairs of arms.

The monster had taken a step forward and wind up two arms back readying itself to finish up the girl before she could get back to her senses after the initial hit.

"Radiance, stop!"

A strong voice called out and made the humongous angel-class flinch and look down over its shoulder.

"...she started it..."

Not only the monster knew how to use human language - it had a soft and pleasant female voice!

"Aren't you interested in who is it? Because she survived one of your hits, right?"

The voice called loudly from around the height of the angel-class monster's foot.

"...she did... you are right, I am curious about who is she..."

All seven of the monster's faces furrowed their brows and ended up agreeing with the voice.

"Good! I'll go check up on her!"

The voice called up to the monster and then the voice's owner - the tall girl with light brown hair hurried towards the edge of the crater and peeked down.

"Ah! Well, would you believe that! The key to unlocking the ending we want! One lucky encounter after another!"

She clapped her hands together and a wide smile bloomed on her face.

"Why, but isn't that miss Mika Wrath in her own, S+ tier person?"

The light brown-haired girl laughed and jumped down to the ashen-haired girl that was just beginning to stand up.

"...wh-who are you...?! Are you working together with that evil monster...?!"

Mika tried to keep her balance but her legs were still too wobbly, so she just shook her head and glared at the newly arrived girl.

"Evil...?"

The light brown-haired girl smiled tilted her head in confusion.

"Ah! Sorry, I'm not very good with all those manners and customs, I should greet you properly first, right?"

The girl laughed and although she wasn't wearing a dress, she curtsied to Mika - poorly, since she clearly wasn't used to doing that, but with enough respect to shock the ashen-haired girl.

"Miss Wrath, you must have been in the confusing mist for too long. Neither I nor the Radiance, or any of our allies for the matter, are on the side of evil - the exact opposite in fact!"

The girl explained that in a friendly voice.

"...you're saying that the giant monster that hit me is an ally of justice? I am the justice! Why did it attack me then?!"

Mika scoffed and confined glaring at the older girl - or rather, the young woman - in front of her.
