After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me

89 – Waterfall of Corpses

The people gathered in front of Yergina, where the snow was piled up, chatted.

“He looks scary. Do you know him, Ian?”

“Pierce is her second princess, Yergina. The one I briefed you with on the train. I saw you at the ball too.”

“Then you must be a scary person!”

“That’s right.”

“Guys, this person looks frozen.”

“I think it would be a good idea to try melting it.”

“Okay then, I’ll try using fireball. Ifrit… Wow!”

Yergina opened her eyes brightly.

“It’s so noisy.”

Yergina blinked her eyes a few times.

Snowflakes piled up on her long eyebrows fell.

Lina and Danya, who thought she was frozen, were taken aback.

“Lord, weren’t you dead?”

“I thought it was completely frozen!”

“What do you think about me, Yergina… No, it’s not true.”

Tuktuk.

Yergina grinned after brushing off her head and shoulders.

“Thank you. Don’t take it as warm as she tried to roast me with her fireball.”

Looking at her smile, Lina whispered to her Ian.

“I thought she was a really scary person. I guess she isn’t.”

“No. He’s a scary person. He’s someone who can pulverize people with a single punch.”

“Hi!”

“… Hey there.”

Ian, who was spreading her facts, was nominated by Yergina.

“I’m trying to lighten the mood during a crisis, so please don’t spread unnecessary rumors.”

Ian, who was voluntarily dragged in front of her, asked.

“Why are you standing like this?”

“I was planning on staying safe and waiting for someone to come.”

“… What if it’s someone?”

“With so many people swallowed up, it’s hard to believe that anyone would have been alive. It was decided that a comrade was needed.”

“If we are colleagues, do you trust us?”

In response to Ian’s question, Yergina asked back as if she was questioning it.

“Didn’t you tell me?”

“?”

“He’s interested in me.”

“Ah. Yes.”

Ian first agreed.

But.

‘If someone confesses, do you believe that person?’

… This person. For some reason, I feel like I could easily get scammed.

And Ian soon realized that she didn’t have to worry.

‘If you get scammed anyway, just destroy it.’

Her main weapon, her chain mace, which she wore on the side of her thigh, caught her eye.

Yergina, noticing Ian’s gaze on her, grinned.

“Don’t worry. I watched the sparring match and understood your true feelings.”

“Thank you.”

“So, what will you do with me?”

Anyway, Yergina is an absolute power even in the north, which is full of strong people. Although he has a somewhat violent side, he is a trustworthy character.

If you utilize the unique efficiency that has been with the soldiers for a long time, it will be easy to persuade them… So there is no reason not to join them.

“Of course.”

“It’s a good decision. I also needed people who would stand behind me.”

“Did Yergina find those bodies too?”

“Did you guys see that too?”

“Yes.”

“Wow. It looks like there is a better guide than I thought.”

I flinch.

Danya’s tail drooped under Yergina’s gaze.

“hahahaha. It happens often. I guess you’re confused by the smell of blood. I’ll take the lead for now.”

Yergina, who looked at Danya for a moment, took the lead with her cheerful smile.

He looked like a perfect captain.

◆

Every time the wind blows, fine snow particles accumulated on the ground are scattered.

The surroundings are hazy as if there is fog.

Jump, bump, bump.

Ian, who was walking while looking behind Yergina (the leader), who was ahead of him, slowly slowed down his steps.

From noble mtl dot com

Only then did I match my stride with Danya.

Danya’s tail is still drooping.

It was obvious what her psychological state was.

“Are you scared?”

Nod.

Danya opened her mouth.

“The smell of blood is strong.”

“The smell of blood?”

“Yes. It really smells like a lot of different types of blood mixed together…”

The number of enemies Yergina has defeated so far will certainly be well over three figures. She also seemed to know why Danya was at a loss.

But.

This is not inside the academy fence. In reality, it is a real fight in which the opponent dies or oneself dies. This may have been the case with Yergina as well. Because if she hadn’t been cut, she would have been cut in return.

Her Ian opened her mouth to tell such a story.

But.

“…….”

Ian, seeing Danya’s expression, quietly silenced her.

Her eyes were already full of determination.

If you think about it, this is a story that Danya, who was already a resident of this world, would know better than Ian himself.

It’s just that she needs some time to overcome her own instincts.

Ian silently placed his hand on Danya’s head.

And she patted it.

“Isn’t it cold?…!”

When Lina looked this way, she hurriedly turned her head away.

Danya’s tail is gradually finding its place.

Only when her tail completely stood up did Ian stop touching her.

– Hwiiiii

A biting wind blew.

The tip of Danya’s nose twitched again.

Hot.

She clenched her fists and shouted to Yergina.

“It’s over there!”

At her tongue-in-cheek mistake, Ian used all his strength to suppress her laughter.

“Hey, it’s over there.”

She carefully opens her mouth again.

Just as she said, zombie-like corpses came into view through the blurry vision.

“Well done cat girl!”

She flinched and then nodded her head.

Yergina, with a reassuring smile like that of a captain, tried to jump in front of her.

Ian hurriedly asked.

“Do you have any other plans?”

“Plan?”

Yergina lifted her chain mace from her thigh.

“No need.”

As soon as it touched her hand, the head of her mace froze white and became as large as her adult torso.

“Just destroy everything and that’s it.”

Paaat-!

Yergina rushed forward with tremendous force.

“Just cover my back!”

When I saw her back, my will to fight boiled over.

Yergina definitely had the power to sway people.

— Purr?

— Gyaaa!

If you look closer, the corpse zombies look even more creepy.

Yergina threw her body between them.

— Burbubbbubbuk!

And in a single blow, the heads of her five corpses exploded and flew away.

Ian got goosebumps.

Yergina in her overwhelming force. And to her self-state, her fear gone because of her momentum.

‘This is the 5th constellation.’

The Morning Star that Yergina held high suddenly became as large as a rock.

Ku—kwaang!

A dozen corpses are crushed.

— Kugugugugugung!

In the aftermath of the vibration, the eyes on both sides went out.

Snow poured down the cliff with a tremendous sound.

As Ian expected, the place where the corpses were placed was a bridge-shaped structure and a kind of road leading to the land on the other side.

Beyond that, I could vaguely see something towering.

And that big hole… Could it be a cave?

— Pababag!

Without even a moment to observe, Yerigina’s blows rained down and several corpses escaped them.

The movements are definitely unusual.

Furthermore, the biggest problem is the number of them.

Endless corpses were springing up from somewhere.

“…How many humans have you swallowed, Richard?”

The number of corpses, thought to be dozens, soon increased to hundreds.

Literally waves of corpses.

“Hwaaa!”

Yergina also tried to change her attack method, focusing on her wide-area attack, but the more magical power she contained, the more her corpses began to dodge her attacks better.

Among them, there is one corpse holding a dagger that moves particularly noticeably.

Ian, who was watching closely, rushed in.

— Kagang!

Yergina blocked her back, which was almost cut, and struck straight at the corpse’s head.

Poseok. The body was torn apart with an unpleasant sound.

“Thank you.”

“It is impossible to break through like this.”

“Hmm. Did you feel it too?”

“Yes. They have an abnormally good response to magical power. It is not ordinary necromancy. I do not doubt Yergina’s skills, but…”

“No, but?”

“I don’t think it would be possible if it wasn’t a physical attack.”

Yergina’s fighting style utilizes various frost-based skills using her mace.

Decreased mana efficiency is bad news.

And yet.

Puck. Plop.

Her pure physical power was also overwhelming.

Yergina muttered as she detonated the heads of three of her corpses at once with her mace.

“These are truly bizarre things.”

Suddenly, an idea crossed Ian’s mind.

“I have a way.”

“Aren’t you a wizard too?”

“Yes. Please take a moment.”

Ian headed straight back.

“Continue supporting fire!”

After delivering it to Danya and Lina, I ran behind them.

And by the time we had gained enough distance to the battlefield.

“Extract.”

Ian pulled dirt and metal out of the ground.

At the same time, it was transformed into a ball shape.

Degurrr.

I rolled it out as is.

It was heavy at first, but the speed gradually increased due to the subtle downward slope.

“Extract.”

While rolling, extraction continued without stopping.

A dirt snowball that gets bigger and bigger as it mixes with the surrounding snow.

“Danya! Lina!”

The eyes of the women supporting Yergina widen in surprise.

“aaah, Ian, what did you make again!”

“Oh, it’s so big!”

“Don’t just watch, come and roll!”

Deukdeukdeuk. Crack.

It seems to blend in with the skeletons scattered on the floor, but it is not a bird that can separate hot and cold rice.

A lump of ‘snow and dirt skeleton’ that quickly grew to the size of a rock, or rather, a small house.

Gooooo!

Yergina, who was sweeping up her corpses, turns around at the sound of her voice and opens her eyes wide.

“What are you doing?”

“Avoid!”

Yergina quickly dodged her by throwing her body to the side, then joined her behind and helped her roll the mass of corpses.

– Kuwagagagagagagagak!

It slipped out of her hand at a speed that made it difficult to push it any further.

They stopped in place and watched the mass of dead bodies quietly moving away.

— Really?… Dismissal!

— Grrr!

Bodies whose physical vision and senses have clearly deteriorated.

They either stood around and got crushed, or they were crushed and added to the size of the snowball.

Someone muttered.

“… It looks like a super giant snowman made of rotten mud.”

“I’m scared it will appear in my dreams.”

The snowball ran straight down the road between the cliffs.

Thousands of corpses crushed by huge snowballs or falling down cliffs on both sides.

It was literally a waterfall of corpses.

It was a truly magnificent and grotesque sight.
