Having been sliced up in the interdimensional space, the Orc King Zombie had turned into nothing more than a meat lump, and strangely enough, it didn’t even seem gross anymore. It’s weird how that works…
As I wiped the sweat off my forehead, I suddenly heard footsteps rushing up from behind.
“What’s up, Matsunaga-san! So you’re actually strong, huh! Looks can be deceiving, huh?”
With those words, Regina smacked me on the back. Behind her, Seriphos nodded in agreement.
“No, I’m weak.”
“What are you talking about? There’s no need to be so modest! Ahaha!”
Perhaps feeling a little high from escaping danger, Regina kept patting my back vigorously. Despite being a petite girl, she was quite strong, and it hurt quite a bit.
But I wasn’t trying to be modest. It was just that we were really compatible, and it was a fact that we were in danger when we were caught off guard. If I hadn’t accidentally learned Accelerate Haste…
Well, there’s no point regretting things that happened by chance. Instead, let’s think positively that I’ve gained another weapon to help her.
“Anyway, we can talk later. For now, let’s deal with the Living Dead.”
“Oh, right! Let’s go!”
Startled, I followed Regina, who had dashed off. And thus, we headed towards Gandor and the others, who were in the midst of battle with the swarm of Living Dead.
—
It seemed that Gandor and the others had successfully led the horde of Living Dead to a more open area.
This was probably to prevent us from being disturbed while fighting the Orc King Zombie. His skill was truly remarkable.
However, Gandor seemed to have suffered a serious injury, clutching his blood-soaked side as he struggled to breathe through his shoulder, and Notos seemed to have run out of magic power, barely standing with his staff for support.
It seemed that the two of them couldn’t fight properly anymore. And ahead of them, standing still…
“Cheichei!! Cheiha! Checheichei!! Haa Chei!!”
Colin was skillfully dodging attacks while chanting in a lively tempo, repelling the Living Dead one after another.
“Wow… Amazing.”
Regina murmured with her mouth wide open. It was surprising even for an A-class adventurer. Colin might be stronger than I thought.
I felt like she could handle it even without my help, but I couldn’t just leave her alone.
“Interdimensional Net.”
I created an interdimensional net above my head. This time, I focused on making it larger and wider.
What I ended up with was an interdimensional net the size of a basketball court. Floating in the night sky, it resembled a giant barbecue grill.
However, it seemed that I could deploy a larger interdimensional space than before…? The movement speed also seemed a bit smoother.
Perhaps defeating the Orc King Zombie had powered me up like when I defeated the Earth Dragon… Well, I’ll confirm that later.
“Everyone, come here right away!”
“Yes, Matsunaga-sama!”
At my call, Colin, who had just finished off another Living Dead, immediately turned around.
“Matsunaga-sama! You killed that big guy, didn’t you!”
“He’s a living corpse, so I’m not sure if ‘killed’ is the right word, but yeah, that’s about right.”
“Wow! Matsunaga-sama, amazing!”
Colin’s eyes sparkled as she said something like Isezaki-san. Then, Gandor and Notos, dragging their feet, approached, tilting their heads in confusion.
“Hmm? Wasn’t it Seriphos who did it?”
“This old man… Matsunaga-san did it? How?”
“No, really, what should I even say about that… Haha.”
Seriphos returned with a dry laugh, but the two of them just looked at each other without understanding. Regina then forcefully pulled their hands.
“We don’t have time to chat! Come on, let’s retreat quickly! Even if you don’t understand, Matsunaga-san will do the same thing from now on, right?”
“Well, that’s the plan. Let’s do it.”
I approached the swarm of Living Dead chasing after Colin and the others and dropped the huge interdimensional net floating in the sky down below.
The Living Dead walking directly beneath didn’t try to avoid it and ended up crushed under the interdimensional net. The large net seemed to have caught all the Living Dead within its range.
“Gwaaah, Gwaaaargh… Grrrr…”
Pressed down by the interdimensional net, the crowd of Living Dead couldn’t even stand up and fell to their knees. Still, the interdimensional net didn’t stop descending.
The sound of Living Dead bones breaking echoed around as the net descended, making me shiver, wondering if tusks would come flying again, but this time, nothing of the sort happened.
Eventually, the Living Dead collapsed to the ground, turning into mushy lumps under the net, and none of them moved anymore. Truly, it was a clean sweep.
Gandor and Notos, who witnessed it all, stared wide-eyed.
“Hey, Notos. What did we just witness?”
“I don’t know… It doesn’t make any sense…”
That’s all they could say in stunned silence.
