Chapter 42 - The Rally

"And how are you going to lure these creatures out?" Saeko asked when they reached the goal.

– I've got it all covered. Greed will destroy them. Do you remember that I have a lot of prana? –

– Of course I remember. –

– Well, creatures love prana. Although no, not even that. They'RE OBSESSED WITH her. Therefore, once I remove the good part of her from the body, they will run like moths to this light. Well, that's at least my plan. –

– It sounds logical. But what if the plan doesn't work? Why aren't zombies constantly running furiously after you? –

– Because I mask my prana. If I didn't do it, it would be very, very bad for everyone. –

And it's true. Thanks to the skill "Stealth", Shiro can hide his energy. If not for this, then zombies would have felt it for many kilometers.

– Are you ready? –

– Yes, I'm ready. – she said, and prepared for battle.

- OK. I will give you the opportunity to test your strength, but as soon as I feel that you are not coping, I will quickly intervene. Is that clear? Shiro said in the tone of a "teacher" who does not accept objections.

- Yes. – she answered meekly.

– Great, let's go. – he said and "reached out" for prana.

Under perfect control, prana came out of Shiro and began to envelop his entire body like a second skin, and in addition, it also enveloped his clothes with weapons.

It turned out to be a kind of cloak of energy that repeatedly enhanced the already high characteristics of Shiro.

At that moment, he looked like Naruto in nine-tail mode, only the color was scarlet.

Is this the first time he's tried this... technique? Ability? In general, it was a small experiment that was crowned with success.

– Wow! It's incredibly Wide! Can I do that?! – the girl exclaimed with admiration.

– Who knows, who knows. This technique absorbs quite a lot of prana and its support is also quite expensive. Better get ready, I can already hear them running. –

His hearing did not fail him. All the zombies in the territory with a radius of ten kilometers felt as if the sun was lit from prana. It drove the undead into a furious frenzy. As one, everyone turned sharply in the direction of the "luminary" and rushed towards it with all their might.

Moreover, particularly clever creatures killed rivals along the way, thereby reducing competition.

And even though all the creatures started moving, the strongest ones appeared the fastest, which is very logical.

Who just wasn't there. Both ghouls and dodgers even had a couple of sturdy hobbles that were one-on-one similar to the one who punched a hole in the Takagi estate.

There were also new zombies. The height is the same as that of a sturdy man, even more. The musculature is more pronounced... Two or three times. As a result, they are slower than the sturdy ones, but much, MUCH stronger. And bullets will no longer be so effective against this fruit.

More than a hundred individuals burst into the square and ran towards our heroes.

"Saeko, be careful. – the guy said when he saw the crowd. Even knowing what the girl is capable of, I was still worried. And the new zombie is clearly not weak.

– Don't worry, I can handle it. Believe in me. She said with a confident smile on her face.

- OK. Just don't try to bite off more than you can chew. Come on, if you can destroy thirty percent of the crowd, I will fulfill one of your wishes. I warn you right away, do not ask for anything excessive. –

– And that's interesting. You know how to motivate "sensei". she said with amusement in her voice.

Saeko's eyes, already sparkling with combat excitement, literally flamed with motivation.

When the zombie was about ten meters away from Saeko, the girl began to act.

To stand under such an onslaught is stupid, it will simply be swept away and not noticed. Therefore, she decided to take the initiative and disperse the "rally".

Strengthening the body with prana, the girl quickly ran up to the zombie and with a smooth, fast movement, cut off three heads of the dodgers at once.

After that, she immediately retreated, walking away with her back to Shiro. He, in turn, also retreated because the zombies came for his soul.

And so the fight went on. Saeko ran backwards on the front and the fastest zombie took off their heads on the move.

Slowly the crowd melted away. So are Saeko's forces. Her prana was draining pretty quickly in such an intense battle.

In other respects, the girl should be given credit, she managed to single-handedly destroy half of this crowd.

But the creatures from this group easily collected the lives of trained people Soichiro.

Saeko's battle-heated body was covered in sweat. His breathing was out of control, and his pulse was racing like mad.

She herself understood that she had already exceeded both her own and Shiro's expectations.

Saeko – "This is the last one. It would be nice to finish training on it!" she thought, choosing a "new" zombie.

The tank ran up to her and struck her with its right paw in the direction of the girl. She, in turn, dodged, and the tank's hand hit the asphalt.

The coating cracked like a cookie under the blow of a giant.

The sound of the blow was so strong that even under the strengthening of prana, it stunned Saeko a little.

But she couldn't stop, and she knew it. Therefore, ignoring the ringing in her ears, she attacked.

With a sharp movement, using all her strength, she brought the blade down on the giant's paw until he had time to raise his hand after the blow.

The blade easily began to cut through the monster's flesh. That's just the katana slowly but surely began to get bogged down until it stopped at the monster's bone. The sword had nothing to do with it, Saeko just didn't have enough strength. The flesh of the tank squeezed and literally held the katana with its muscles, not allowing it to move.

But before she could even panic, the sword, glowing with bright scarlet energy, cut the tank's arm next to the katana, thereby freeing her.

Shiro could of course wait and save Saeko as a hero from the books at the last second. That's just to show off and experiment with the lives of loved ones, he really didn't want to. For the "magic" of pathos, less important people are suitable for him.

Covered with prana, Shiro destroyed the undead so quickly that they did not even notice how they were deprived of their firebrands. Even Saeko, enhanced by prana, could only see a very fast, blurry spot.

A few seconds and as if on command, all the zombies, as if knocked down, began to fall and lose their heads.

Shiro, however, with a slow, measured step, stepping over the corpses, returned to Saeko.

– It was great, my love! – she spoke with admiration despite her fatigue.

– Yes, yes, I am. And by the way, you're going to be screaming the same thing tonight. Shiro said in a boastful and proud tone while shaking off the dust from his shoulders, which is not there.

"Oh, I don't doubt it. And how do you like the fruits of my long training? Saeko replied with a smile, rolling her eyes.

– Very, very good. I'm happy with you, almost. If you hadn't decided to bite off more after all. –

– I knew you'd say that.… And I understand that I was stupid. Very, very stupid. Such a mistake would probably cost me my life if you weren't here. – with a sigh she said, clearly upset.

– Nothing. The main thing is that you understand this and will take it as another lesson. And so what's the wish? –

What was said clearly lifted the mood of the girl.

– You'll find out about him… At night. Saeko replied in a languid voice, teasing the guy.

– Interesting. I'll be waiting for you to voice it. Shiro said and hugged Saeko, stroking the girl's ass, thereby returning her "teaser".

– Mmmmmmm – the girl moaned through her lips during the attack with the skill of love arts.

Then Shiro abruptly removed his hands and walked away from the girl when he saw that she was already sick.

– Hey! Bring them back! Saeko exclaimed irritably, pointing at the guy's hands.

– At night. All at night. We have a lot to do," he said with a teasing, satisfied grin and turned around and walked back to the camp.

– Here you burn a bully! – with feigned anger she exclaimed and followed – "They are now only to squeeze." Saeko thought, touching herself between her legs.
