The Villainess and I, her Zombie

Chapter 403: Sigil monster (6)

"SSSSSSS...! (I-I WILL NOT DIE LIKE THIS!)"

Although there should be no heads to hiss furiously at the approaching blue undead, the furious hiss did come from the very tip of the tail which was the last part left to destroy by the terribly powerful tier 3 sword skill.

As there was no reaction whatsoever, and Zombie's old glare was focused solely on the last part of the hydra that could still be called a part and not a scrap, a tiny golden serpent, no thicker than a shoelace jumped out of the flesh and let it be turned into powdered gems.

"SSSSSSS! (YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU?!)"

The tiny golden serpent with the equally tiny sigil burning on the top of its head hissed furiously, slithering as far back as it could while the blue undead followed it without changing his expression.

"SSSSSSSSSS! (I AM THE FIRST INCARNATION OF THE PHYSICAL REMNANT OF HAPPY!) SSSSSSSS! (I WILL NOT BE SHAMED LIKE THIS!)"

The tiny golden serpent hissed furiously, looking nack at its approaching doom and panic was a very distinguished part of its voice.

"Hah. I knew that it was weird that none of the heads had any trace of the sigil."

Zombie finally spoke up, and he did so while glaring down at the pitiful golden serpent.

"I thought that maybe since you are the remnant of a god, you might have freed yourself from Eternal's corruption, but it was all just a ruse – the big body was just an outer shell while your real body looks like this. A shame, you're a real cutie – it won't feel good to kill you."

The little blue undead sighed, shaking his head.

"S-sssss...?! (A cu-cutie?! I'm a...!?) SSSSS! (STOP TRYING TO CONFUSE ME!) SSSS! (THIS IS NOT THE END!)"

The unnamed serpent hissed furiously and...

*ZAP*

A bolt of lightning struck it right in the head throwing it back and causing a seizure as the electricity was coursing through its tiny noodle body.

"..."

Zombie glanced back and saw Cranberry extending her reverse baseball bat scepter, as the dead aim skill she learned under Olive's guidance was still lighting up her eyes with a bright white light.

"Perfect timing."

The blue undead smiled and nodded at the red-haired girl before rising Kopia to deal the finishing blow on the golden serpent.

"Sss...sss...SSS! (This.. is not... THE END!)"

The monster hissed between the seizures and all of a sudden its body shone with intense yellow light and a literal geyser of gold, hundreds of times bigger than the snake itself, shoot out from its tiny mouth propelling it all the way to the ceiling of the red and black dome...

...no...

...the gold was not used as a means for a mere escape – it was forming another body – this one much sturdier looking than the previous one.

The next second, complete golden seven-headed hydra glared down at the little blue undead, shimmering and shining with thousands upon thousands of precious stones of all sorts of colors and sizes.

"SSSSSSSSSS! (ROYAL AVARITIA FORM, THE SERPENT OVERLORD OF GREED!) SSSSSSSSSSSSS! (HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS, PUNY UNDEAD?!)"

The remnant of the god of luck Happy rose up and hissed triumphantly, revealing that each of its heads had the most impressive cobra's hood covered with even more precious stones.

"...good thing you are so keen on explaining things since it seems that my unskippable tutorial isn't working...."

Zombie scoffed and shook his head, completely unimpressed by the deadly gleam and glamour of the gigantic beast.

"S-sss...? (H-huh...?)"

The complete lack of either fear of ave in his voice made the serpent overlord of greed flinch in disbelief.

"Say, you aren't that smart, are you?"

Zombie went a step further, and put his hand to his mouth, and shouted mockery at the monster!

"SSSSSSS...! (HOW DARE YOU MO...!)"

"Gold is a really good electricity conductor!"

Zombie shouted over the beast's hiss and waved his hand at the red-haired girl in the back.

"S-sss...? (Wh-what is a conduc...?)"

*ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP* *ZAP*

"SSSSSSSSSS! (AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGHHHHHHH!)"

The rapid-fire of electrical discharges rained down on the extremely easy target of the utterly massive monster's body – with how big the serpent chose to become it would seriously be harder to miss it – stacking paralysis upon paralysis and sending the beast into a dance of seizures.

"Cranberry! How many fire augmentations can you cast on Kopia?"

Zombie looked shouted back without taking his eyes off of the gigantic serpent.

"I- I'm not sure – but stacking more than two will create enough heat to damage you, remember?"

The red-haired girl shouted in response sounding worried.

"Just start casting it – I'll tell you when!"

The blue undead ignored her reluctance and raised up Kopia so it would be an easier target.

"...haa.... fine!"

"Pffft...!"

Zombie could not help snorting once he picked up on an annoyed sigh and murmur – then, a red aura appeared around the curvy blade of Kopia's morbid blade form and a distinct warmth began radiating from her.

Then the aura became sharper, and the heat increased.

Then again.

"..."

Despite the pain resistance and the undead body Zombie could feel the odd tingling sensation of the skin on his hands getting burnt.

Then the heat increased again, and again, and again, and his hands got charred black.

"Z-Zombie...! That should be enough! Go!"

"No. One more time. You can do it."

Cranberry cried out from behind but the undead merely shook his head as his blue skin started boiling over around his elbows.

"You can not withstand any more of the heat!"

The red-haired girl shook her head trying to refuse.

"Gold has a lower melting point than the metal that Kopia is made of – one more time!"

...but her refusal got rejected with a confident smirk.

And then, his hands got set on fire.

No, seriously,

The heat of the stacked fire enchantment was so great that actual flames appeared on Zombie's arms, and set his clothes on fire too, for the matter.

"...let's do this before I end up naked."

Zombie muttered, moving Kopia to the side and crouching down in preparation for a charge.

"LETS!"

Kopia cheered loudly in a high-pitched voice and...

*BOOOOOM*

The flaming undead launched himself into the air right at the serpent overlord of greed.
