Day [Life]: Incarnation
Death Swamp

Lunch like a primitive man and without salt. We heard some bushes moving without the wind blowing in the slightest. With a little caution we stopped eating. Zena immediately put her flesh onto a leaf as a base and immediately held the rapier handle tied around her waist.

I stood up and slightly bowed with my hand grasping the sword from my back. The only sword I carry right now is [Rampage].

"....."

We both fell silent while being vigilant. Moments later a skull hand came out of the bush.

"...The undead..."

The muttered Zena who was watching the other side of the bush in front of her.

"Yes!"

He quickly came and stabbed the skeleton that was walking out of the bush.

*crack!

With a flash the bones of the crown were crushed with a hole of the former rapier prick belonging to Zena. However, moments later the Skeleton woke up again and walked with a hole that was still impregnated in the crown.

"...."

Zena with a flat face saw the skeleton rise again.

Then another one appeared in front of me. I quickly split his head in two and shattered into pieces.

"Destroy them to pieces and they will not rise again."

I said while looking at the bones scattered by the slash that split the newly risen skeleton earlier. Zena simply nodded and put it into practice by thrusting her rapier a few times until it shattered into pieces.

When also some of the other skeletons came out from the ground. About 3 of them.

"Hm.. Looks like it's showing up again..."

Immediately before they came out of the ground, I destroyed 2 of them and Zena the rest. It was shattered back into pieces but re-emerged into 10 of them.

"...."

Although weak they are very troublesome. When one of them is destroyed, the other skeleton will appear with more numbers. In this way they will continue to grow more and more their destruction.

"It's hell.."

Said Zena who was getting upset.

It seemed like his mood was broken when he managed to destroy it but then it appeared even more. 'If it continues like this, how do I finish them off..?' Thought in my mind.

"Grahh......!"

"Graaaaaa...!"

"Parr....!"

"Gargh....."

Some of the sounds were mixed for a moment. It sounds like the Zombie I used to play in a game when I was on Earth.

"Zena, we're gonna run."

"Hm? What's up?"

His words returned me.

"I feel like there's a lot of undead gathered here."

Zena who was on guard at the approaching Skeleton slowly turned her head towards me. I who then gave the direction to retreat slowly immediately looked for a gap.

"...."

Zena keeps stalling and destroying some skeletons to make me think.

"Follow me."

I then walked slowly and left the skeleton horde that kept trying to catch up slowly. Some of the zonbie's voices also added to the horror, even though they didn't know we were walking among them. The deeper, the forest began to fog. Vision begins to be impaired and visibility gets shorter. I began to be vigilant and clasped Zena's hand so as not to separate from her.

Even though it's day, it feels like midnight. Even this fog seemed to have completely covered this forest. A little tired, we continued walking through the forest.

"There seems to be no way out..."

Mumbled.

Some from behind I heard the sound of zombies constantly making noise.

"Grah...."

I accidentally saw the exact face with the zombie.

"Geeh!"

I quickly removed my grip from Zena and slashed at the zombie with a single slash.

"Yourf..."

The blood from this zombie will definitely attract the attention of other zombies. Immediately I put the sword into its sheath and went back to holding Zena and walked back. It was as if the rotten blood of the zombie earlier had invited the other zombies. It's become a chase chase between us and the zombies.

A few moments later, I found an end. With a deep abyss I then saw how deep it was by measuring the echoes of the fallen rock.

"....Very deep..."

Briefly said.

I then heard the cries of the zombies that were getting closer. Some of them sounded like bones colliding between other bones. Some were heard carrying armor and some were heard carrying a dragged greatsword.

"They're getting stronger..."

Zena who heard it vigilantly held the tip of her rapier prepared to attack.

While I was running out of ideas, I threw a few stones forward. With the principle of crashing the stone with the other end of the ravine so that it reverses the stone I threw.

"Oh!?"

I who saw the stone really came back quickly lifting Zena like a princess.

"Tung-!? We're gonna pump-!!!??"

Before finishing his words I jumped across.

I landed lightly. The fog had thinned a little and the vision had improved a little.

"Wait hey!! My heart wasn't ready for that..!"

Zena who was still shocked raged at me.

"Ahaha sorry... I had no idea so..."

"Well.... All right I'm sorry.."

Puffing his cheeks he turned his face.

"Hey.. Come on I just can't explain it.."

My words then teased him.

"Hmmm!"

"Hm.. then..."

I hugged him from behind.

"Uhm... All righty! I knew! So stop teasing me!!"

*cloth!!

.

"God..."

I stroked my left cheek that was slapped a few minutes ago.

"Hmmm!"

Zena is still angry. I can't fix his mood. Meanwhile, I felt a living creature approaching.

"!?"

I immediately stood up and prepared with the [Vampage] sword I was about to slash.

"Now!!"

That guy fell in fear. His whole body shook and slightly retreated. While the canute had disappeared, the atmosphere changed the night before morning.

"Hm.? I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

I said to the man and helped him stand up. His body was small, thin as a malnourished, his eyes were slightly red, and his skin was matted.

"Ahaha, it's only natural that you guys be on your guard."

He answered while laughing.

"Maha..."

Hm... What's wrong with this guy? body's weird..

I laugh awkwardly while thinking about it. The first impression was 'Sweird'. Of course, the strangest thing was its temperature that even its hands were extremely cold to the size of a human. It's just like you died.

I then coded Zena to be on the lookout. By opening a little bit of my eyes, he understood.

"Are you lost?"

"Uhm.. Yeah, we're both lost."

My speech.

"Will you come to my village then? I'll give you some food."

Her speech.

"ah! We're very helped!"

I said it as if I needed it. Zena just nodded slowly. As expected of the elves. He doesn't talk much when something unfamiliar is nearby.

Then we walked with the man. The sun was almost visible. However, the Sun was again covered by a high mountain slope. It was a village that seemed almost no activity. It's getting weird.

"Is the village there?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The man answered only briefly. The monsters did not come closer. This adds to the strangeness. Previously there would have been several undead monsters across. This time it was peaceful. Even the birds disappeared. There were only a few plants and barren land.

We approached and entered the village. A few piercing gazes made my feathers stand up. some stared with a murderous air. I don't understand but I have to be careful.

"Well, this is the place. I happen to be the head of his village so call me if there's anything."

"I understand."

My answer.

"Then enjoy your day, I'll go home."

Waving her hand she moved away from us. For now we can rest even if we have to remain vigilant. This calm atmosphere bjsa alone traps them. I then went in and closed the meeting all including the window.

"Well...."

I then sat down in relief on a worn out mattress while exhaling my breath. I put my sword near an old closet. Zena then took a chair and sat opposite me.

"This village is too quiet."

Her speech.

"Yes, I also feel this is strange but at least right now we can rest..." I said, closing my eyes slowly....
