The Villainess and I, her Zombie

"I can't even with you... On one side I am happy that you became more agreeable – but on the other seeing you be so mean sets of the alarm in my brain telling me that something is wrong with you again."

Zombie breathed out and started massaging his forehead before straightening his back and glaring down at the red and black monster who was much shorter than his current undead lord form.

"So this is how I looked like at the end of the first playthrough, huh?"

"..."

The blue undead furrowed his brows and scoffed while Eternal remained silent, staring at him with its featureless face.

"I honestly thought that the other part of Pati will be hating me since the one which was reincarnated with me and liked me."

He declared looking exactly where the creature's eyes should be in an attempt of making eye contact.

"...? Is that so...? But I never felt particularly angry at you – only that I wished you were on my side?"

Eternal tilted its head and looked as if it was looking back at the blue undead in confusion.

"...huh...?"

Zombie furrowed his back and glanced at the red-haired girl by his side.

"Yeah – the part that got reincarnated inside of you was actually the part that disliked you – but ended up developing a soft spot for you – you really didn't realize it?"

Cranberry smirked and asked curiously, tilting her head in a very similar way to how Eternal was acting.

"What? Seriously? That might be the biggest plot twist I've heard today! And today I also learned that you somewhat became the remnant of the fire god, Wing!"

"Yeah – that happened in the Durian's mansion right after the merging of consciousnesses of the first Cranberry, the second Cranberry, and Pati – I just never told you about the big message announcing me the next physical remnant of Wing."

The blue undead gasped and the red-haired girl shrugged her shoulders and pointed out casually.

"...you two... I would love to chat a bit more, but could you kill me already...? The Invictus title is gone and most of my skills are down to hundreds of thousands, but still, I'm already at my limit... Finish it off now, please."

Eternal called out while trembling and it stepped back while crossing its arms as if it wanted to stop itself from wreaking havoc all around it.

"True – don't worry – Patience's consciousness will simply return to me so you don't have to feel bad about her – not to mention that once Eternal is down the story basically ends and nothing will stand in our way to world domination. Oh, and you will be able to finally kill your older sister."

Cranberry walked over to her blue undead and declared, patting his shoulder and smiling cheerfully.

"..."

Zombie stiffened and his expression turned serious and he glanced over the red and black smoke monster's shoulder at the mess that the light-brown-haired girl has become.

"Finally... Say, Patience, how much HP do you have now? I don't want to make you suffer unnecessarily so I will try to end in one go."

The blue undead breathed out and declared before looking back at Eternal asking.

"Fifteen million HP but with the nerfed damage limiter that makes it more like thirty million... I don't think that one shooting me is possi..."

"Thirty million – alright – easy enough as long as you will help me out, Cranberry~"

The red and black monster spoke up, lowering its head but getting interrupted by the lighthearted voice of the blue undead smiling cheerfully at the red-haired girl.

"Sure, sure – I hope you aren't overestimating yourself with that – it would be very cruel and she is our ally."

Cranberry rolled her eyes and frowned at Zombie but still reached out her baseball bat scepter putting its mana crystal first towards him, already activating several strengthening spells.

"Just so we are clear – how much ATK do you have? I want to be accurate with my calculations."

Zombie who was already shining with various skills asked curiously confusing Eternal even more than it already was.

"In hundreds of thousands, barely under a million... it's my highest stat after HP."

It answered in a worried voice while standing motionlessly.

"Khahaha! Then there will be no trouble whatsoever."

The blue undead laughed reassuringly as his body shone with overwhelmingly vibrant violet light, similarly, the heels of his boots erupted in violet flames that immediately charred the earth underneath his feet and...

*CRUSH*

*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

...without any preparation or a run up the blue undead kicked at the red and black smoke monster and unleashed a violent torrent of the violet inferno that evaporated the smoke in a flash before disappearing like a monstrous firework...

/Eternal has been defeated

You receive the EXP

/You level up

/The secret challenge had been completed

/Calculating...

/Global event – finished

A series of few short messages showed up with no fanfare or amazing reward whatsoever and simply informed the blue undead, the red-haired girl, and the whole world about the challenge completion.

Most people were assigned the roles of background characters so it wasn't as if they had big expectations – but a lot of them breathed out in relief after realizing that there will be no huge war or the disastrous catastrophe they would have to recover from as it has supposedly happened during all the previous known global events.

"..."

Cranberry was standing still with her eyes closed and wasn't saying anything, so Zombie approached her slowly and waited patiently until she opened her eyes.

"How is it? You're more of a Pati now or still my Cranberry?"

He asked curiously, looking into the girl's eyes while leaning down.

"I would always be your Cranberry – and funnily enough, I feel like have become more like I was in the first playthrough for some reason... interesting... I guess that part of Patience was more proudful than the one that resided in you before?"

She responded confidently before tilting her head curiously, pondering about the reason for the change she experienced.

"Alright... so with confirming the most important thing, now the time came for the pleasure! I am going to finally kill that piece of fil...!

*CHOMP*

Zombie cheered out with enthusiasm, smiling brightly – but at that exact time, the gluttony-based skill activated right beside him with the dry sound of massive jaws clapping together...!

"HA?! What in the...?!"

Cranberry – who got tackled by her blue undead to the side just in time to dodge the attack, shook her head, and raise her baseball bat scepter – just to see that the magic crystal on its end got devoured by the sin-based skill....!
