Avoid Yandere Constellation

Thirty minutes before Gahin’s death.

“No, no, no! Please!”

One of the adventurers was sobbing and pleading, his teeth having been completely pulled out. I smiled at his request.

“If you were going to kill someone, you should have expected to be killed yourself.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”

As I said this, I summoned a sword from my inventory and pierced it right through his forehead.

“Phew. So, there’s only one left now.”

I looked around.

“Aargh!”

The zombies stood there like obedient dogs, not attacking the intruders as they should have been commanded by the boss monster.

“This is making things easier.”

I glanced at the crown in my hand. I had purchased this Zombie Crown from the cash shop during my night watch duty yesterday. Its ability was to control zombies with a whopping 500 points.

The only downside was that it could only be used for three hours and was a one-time use item.

“This is a great deal here.”

Other than the boss monster, all the others here were zombies. This item was definitely a top-tier value for its price.

“And it’s not like I’m losing anything.”

After all, the quest reward was quite generous.

[Quest: Conquer the Cursed Temple]

[Description: Conquer the Cursed Temple.]

[Reward: 5,000 points.]

The most challenging part of this dungeon was not only the zombies but also the boss monster, which had two phases and was incredibly powerful. That’s why Ange had stepped up to take care of it.

“Well, even if it’s not easy, we can handle it.”

Just then, I heard a rough curse.

“Damn it!”

It seemed like the last remaining leader of the adventurers.

“Then I’ll send you to your comrades too.”

The adventurers had wanted to meet their comrades, so I felt a sense of satisfaction at the thought of fulfilling their wishes.

“It’s true that doing good deeds makes you feel good.”

I felt a sense of fulfillment as I sent zombies to the adventurer hiding in the forest, trying to remain silent.

Back to the present.

“I didn’t do this. That guy committed suicide.”

[The Goddess of Fate is laughing at your denial.]

[The Goddess of Battle is laughing out loud.]

The two constellations sent me messages, seemingly incredulous.

“Anyone would think I actually killed him.”

Of course, I couldn’t deny that I had punched the guy in the face. But I had clearly tried to heal him by applying holy water to my hand.

I had intended to heal him, but he refused and left cowardly.

“Thinking about it this way, this guy is a piece of trash.”

He had used me and then left me behind like trash.

“You piece of trash. I even tried to heal you…”

[The Goddess of Fate feels that you’re becoming more self-righteous.]

“That’s not true.”

Ignoring the constellation’s nonsense, I turned my head.

“Hmm. I wonder if the others are okay.”

I paused for a moment, deep in thought. Then I shook my head.

“Why am I even worrying about them?”

I was concerned about Jenny, but she had Eileen with her, so there was no way she’d be defeated by mere zombies.

If anything, I felt sorry for the zombies. In their eyes, Eileen and Skaya were nothing short of disasters.

“They’ll be fine, right?”

I walked along the path in the cemetery, thinking useless thoughts.

Thud. Thud.

The sound of my footsteps seemed to attract the attention of the surrounding zombies, who drooled as they stared at me like people who had been starving for days and had just discovered a chicken.

“Aargh!”

The zombies turned to look at me. I clenched my fist and threatened them.

“What are you looking at, you bastards!”

They averted their eyes and started running away, as if looking into my eyes meant certain death.

“This item is really useful.”

Unlike the others, I strolled towards the boss room with ease, like I was taking a walk in the park.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, Jenny and Eileen were…

“Damn, why are there so many zombies?”

“I know, right?”

They were slaughtering the endless stream of zombies.

“Aargh!”

Just then, a zombie attacked from behind. Without turning around, Eileen swung her sword.

“Slice!”

The sound of the zombie’s neck being smoothly sliced echoed through the cemetery.

“Thud!”

The zombie fell to the ground. Eileen looked around at the surrounding zombies.

“Quickly! We need to conquer this place.”

She released a vast amount of aura. At the same time, she performed a sword dance so beautiful that even Kaine would be mesmerized. Her movements were not only beautiful but also awe-inspiring.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

However, the aura bundles shooting from her sword were not gentle. They were sharp slashes, and to the zombies receiving them head-on, it was like a natural disaster.

“Aargh! Save me!”

The zombies were being annihilated without a trace. Not long after, the area was filled with dust, and the tombstones and zombies had all turned into powder.

“Wow, Eileen, you’re using sword energy now. You’ve really become much stronger than before.”

“I didn’t know I was this strong either.”

Recently, she hadn’t had the chance to test her strength in real combat, so she wasn’t aware of how much she had improved. The last time she had fought was when she was helplessly knocked out by a single blow from the boss of the cult.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“It’s been worth all the hard work since then.”

The fear of not being able to protect Kaine had made her feel quite depressed that day. However, she had tried to act cheerful the next day so as not to worry him.

“Honestly, my confidence had taken a hit.”

So, she had worked hard since then. She was determined to ensure that Kaine would never be hurt again.

She had even spent the entire day holding a sword instead of sticking close to Kaine after school.

“I’m sure Skaya and Lise felt the same way.”

Anyway, there’s no time to be lost in thought.

Eileen turned her head and said in a hurried voice, “Let’s conquer the dungeon quickly.”

“Yeah, let’s escape from here.”

And so the two of them advanced towards the boss room, killing the surrounding zombies along the way.

________________________________________

Meanwhile, Skaya was walking leisurely, using magic.

“Boom!”

She frowned, annoyed.

She had expected them to back off if she scared them, but contrary to her expectations, the zombies kept coming out endlessly.

“Why do they keep coming out like this?”

Skaya saw the zombies crawling out again, and her forehead veins popped out.

“Where are they coming from?”

She had killed nearly a hundred of them, yet the zombies kept emerging like cockroaches.

“Aargh!”

At that moment, a zombie charged towards her with the intent to kill. Skaya flicked her finger.

“Bang!”

A magic formula appeared on the zombie’s face, and its head exploded.

“Boom!”

Countless pieces of flesh flew out like a bomb exploding. Skaya cast a barrier to prevent the blood from staining her clothes.

“I really want to meet Kaine quickly.”

As she walked, yet another wave of zombies appeared, showing no signs of getting tired.

“Aargh!”

“Aaaaargh!”

“Kreeee!”

However, perhaps they had learned their lesson. This time, they appeared in a group, and the number was not insignificant.

“Hmm. There must be around 150 of them.”

Surrounded by zombies, Skaya remained unbothered. The next moment…

“Woong!”

A large magic circle appeared on the ground. The zombies seemed to have an instinctive sense of danger.

They tried to flee, realizing that staying put meant certain death. But…

“It’s too late.”

Just as Skaya said, it was already too late. Spikes made of mana rose from the ground.

-Crunch

The spikes pierced the zombies’ heads precisely, not just one but all 150 of them.

“Ugh… the smell.”

Despite having massacred 150 zombies, Skaya remained calm. She held her nose and fell into deep thought.

‘Thank goodness for the results of my training.’

Like Eileen, Skaya had also undergone intense training. She had been practicing her magic control and even the painful magic engraving, which she usually avoided.

‘I’ll never show that helpless side to Kaine again.’

Showing weakness once was enough. She didn’t mind if Kaine worried about her, but…

‘Still, this is unacceptable.’

With that thought, Skaya took out a perfume from her Space ring and sprayed it on herself. She didn’t want the stench of rotting corpses to cling to her clothes.

.

.

.

Quite some time passed. The duration of the Zombie Crown was almost over.

‘I knew that the game and reality were different, but…’

This was just too much. In the game, it took less than three minutes to reach the boss room. But perhaps the developer wanted to emphasize the difference between the game and reality, as it had already been hours, and he still hadn’t reached the boss room.

‘Damn, I’ve been walking for hours, and I’m still not there.’

Of course, it was normal for dungeon conquering to take time, but it was hard not to get annoyed by the situation. If he didn’t hurry, the duration of the Zombie Crown would end before he reached his destination.

‘That would be troublesome.’

Maybe he should have just gone straight ahead without killing those adventurers. After all, they would have died anyway.

‘I can’t let this go on. I need to run at full speed.’

The boss monsters were not to be taken lightly, and he needed to conserve his strength. But dealing with these zombies was already causing more harm than good.

So, he needed to be bold. After making up his mind, he…

“Whoosh!”

Blew blue mana into the circuit, which had become much wider. The blue mana flowed through the circuit, and his body grew hotter.

“Hyaaa!”

A fierce blue mana burst out of his body. The zombies trembled instinctively, sensing danger. Ignoring them, he…

“Woong!”

Covered his body with mana to maximize efficiency.

The dense mana rippled around his body. At the same time…

“Boom!”

He kicked the ground with all his might. Despite being a kick, it sounded like a boom.

His physical abilities had been significantly enhanced. At that moment…

“Aargh!”

The zombies rushed towards him as the duration of the Zombie Crown ended.

‘Inventory.’

A rift appeared around him, and…

“Whoosh!”

He summoned the adventurer’s weapon, coated with mana.

“Bang!”

Although it was just a flying sword, it sounded like an exploding bomb. He turned his head and saw…

‘Wow!’

As expected, the zombie group was blown to pieces by the summoned sword. The remaining zombies flinched, knowing that moving would mean certain death.

“That’s right. Just stay still. Then I won’t kill you.”

He said, running at full speed. Soon, his destination came into view.

‘I guess I just need to enter through that door.’

The iron door in front of him was undoubtedly the entrance to the boss monster’s lair, where the Bone Dragon and Lich awaited.
