Dead Queen Nala's
23 Bloody Journey

I, along with little Jeanne, and Pufu went to the town where Alicia Creel lived. Alicia isn't a noble, so we'll go a little undercover before entering the city. I actually forbade little Jeanne and Pufu from coming along because of the weirdness I felt. But they insist on feeling guilty for failing to find Alicia back then. So I let them, and told them a task they might be able to do.

I approached a two-story house and knocked on its door. A pale man opened the door.

"I'm sorry if we're disturbing. We're looking for Alicia Creel. Do you know where he lives?"

"Alicia? Oh.. Alicia.." The man went back inside. He turned around and hinted for us to go inside.

"Sit down" he said, knocking on the dinner table with plenty of food covered.

She's weird. But I won't refuse food. I opened the food cover

"Holy ****!" Many cockroaches sprinkled out of the decayed food

"Aargha!" The man suddenly pulled out an axe and tried to attack me.

I stood facing the crazy man. I know this. I know this very well.

"Don't move! Or I'll shoot!" I shouted while raising my hand in the form of a gun. He did not heed me and stayed close while roaring. So-so

Bang out!

The man fell with his head crushed. An insect appears to come out from inside his body. Fast forward to me, but I stepped on.

"Nala, what's going on?" Pufu asked.

"Zombie," I answered with great confidence.

"You mean like you?"

"Did I look pale and sick like that?" Pufu did not answer and just looked at me. "Answab what cake!"

Not long after. The sounds of people screaming could be heard from outside the house. I went upstairs and saw from the window that other sick people were starting to enliven the front of the house with all sorts of weapons in their hands.

"Ah shit, this is Bio- mah"

"Nala. What are we gonna do?"

"You guys wait here. I'll send a crow if something happens."

I started walking back down. Had hoped if the axe on the display of the house was a shotgun. But it's fine. I have two guns.

An unpleasant sound came from outside. The door shattered, and a sick knight with an electric sword appeared. Shot him. My fire is so hot that it can penetrate its armor. The knight fell.

I got out of the house and faced the crazy people.

"alright. No matter how much you are, no matter what the difficulty, no one can stop me and this unlimited ammunition! So forward-"

Suddenly those people exploded.

"Eww.. ****! I just took a shower!" I'm annoyed at the splash of their flesh and blood.

Those pieces of flesh, blood, and bone moved to a single point, forming something. My premonition was bad, so I made a crow to tell little Jeanne and Pufu to leave immediately. Before the piece of meat became something, I burned it with the fire I let out of my palm.

My efforts failed. My fire had no impact, and that piece of meat had turned into something. Dragon-shaped flesh without wings.

The flesh dragon spouted purple-colored smoke. It was so slow that I could avoid it so easily. But the house behind me just melted away with no rest.

I shot the dragon with my two pistols, but did not stop it from approaching me. All my bullets just went through it. I'm gonna try to do something.

The fire bahamut from Vecna I ate gave me the power to manipulate fire and minerals. I formed a round, bomb-like object in my hand, and threw it into the mouth of the flesh dragon as he tried to gush at me. A huge explosion occurred in his stomach. The flesh dragon again turned into pieces of flesh.

The pieces of meat moved back. They moved towards someone who was approaching. Someone I know very well but has changed a lot.

"Allen.."

"Hi Arthur's.. Or maybe you'd rather I call you Nala?" In front of me. A green girl shrouded in roots smiled towards me.

"What happened to you?"

"After you kill me, a Dragon gives me its power. Now I'm becoming something I hate, becoming a monster! Like you."

"Ah sorry, I've been a monster since being reborn in this world."

"Alicia. We both know that this meeting will not end well. So what if we just go straight?"

"Aws.. I was planning to make you a friend. Like the others!"

Alicia lunged with her sword. His ability has increased greatly. It's natural to remember he was once a knight with great potential. My decision to go get Bahamut Fire first was very appropriate. Fighting him with only the strength of two dragons would be difficult. Not to mention

The flesh dragon came back and shot me with its poison whenever I wanted to avenge Alicia. When I was a bit away from her, Alicia turned her sword into a whip. Swords and dragons at close range, and whips at long distance. He's troublesome. But one thing I do know. I can't attack him from close range. If so

When I saw the gap from his whip strike. I darted towards him. He would not have time to turn his whip back to the sword, and his dragon also did not have a quick reaction. My victory.

"Send my regards to Enrique," I said before beheading him.

Alicia fell, and so did the dragon. Now I have to find the heart of Bahamut that I know where it belongs.

"Eh?" When I turn around. A blade pierced my body. Roots emerged from the ground and immediately tied me up. I can't break away.

From the part of Alicia's neck that was cut off, small roots came out and grabbed her head. Alicia is back to how she was.

"Where are you going, Nala? Our game isn't over yet."

Alicia turned her sword into a whip and started to tear my clothes. Whatever he tried to do, it couldn't hurt me. So other than trying to embarrass me by stripping me naked, I don't know what he wants to do. And unfortunately, I won't allow that.

I slowly gathered the heat from my skin. It gets hotter, then it blows it up. But it didn't work. Those roots are still firmly attached to me.

"Hehe, no weapon or magic can destroy the Blood Root!"

Hm? It reminds me of something. "La Pucelle!" I'm yelling. My pride sword appeared and I instantly used it to slash at those roots. This time I succeeded.

"Wind Sword? You're mimicking my brother's technique?"

"Well, this is really helping me. Say thank you later."

"Hehe, you still think you can win? Impossible loh! I have hoarded my roots to the whole kingdom. If you want to kill me, then you have to kill them first."

"Oh. Good advice." I put my hand to the sky. Collecting heat energy at one point.

"What do you want to do?"

"Hm? You said that I couldn't kill you because you're holding these people back, right? So I'm gonna make a little sun and blow it up. No more people, and I can kill you."

"You wouldn't dare to do it!"

"You sure? Alicia, did you forget what Enrique, your sister was like? She's flawless. Strong, handsome, and considerate. And what did I do to her? I killed him just to test my new strength. So what makes you think I'd care about the lives of the people who get in my way killing you?"

Mini sun exploded. For the first time, I finally knew the usefulness of studying Astronomy and Mathematics first. I know what I need. And thanks to that, the whole kingdom has vanished. It left me and Alicia withstood thanks to our dragon skin.

"Hahaha, you're crazy, Nala! But it was futile. Even without them, I can still regenerate!"

"really?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think I came here unprepared. Do you know where little Jeanne and Pufu flew to?"

"Eh? Don't-don't-"

Seeing his surprised reaction, I immediately moved quickly. Go behind him and cut off both his hands, forced him down, and restrained his head. Seeing his hand not return made me sure that my plan worked.

"really. I know where the dragon's heart is. When I went to Alvecna, I had sent my crows here, scouting this place. And they found a place in the forest outside the kingdom, a cave. I'm sure there's something there. So when I told little Jeanne and Pufu to go, I actually told them to go there. So how? Do you remember this incident?"

"Nala.. You killed everything! You killed my brother! You monster!"

"Come on.. You manipulated the whole kingdom just to kill me."

"That's because you killed my brother!"

"That's not what I meant. Your desire to kill me, and my desire to survive are the same. We will do anything to achieve that goal. The kingdom you control, and your brother are both on our way. We just do what we think is right. There's nothing wrong. And now, our paths meet. I don't hate you, but we both know we can't be on the same road. Only one can advance. So Alicia, I've been wanting to say this ever since in that forest, I'm sorry I made you this way."

Her tears flowed, but they didn't stop me from destroying her head.

I pulled out crows to carry Alicia's body, as well as her weapons. And I went to the place where little Jeanne and Pufu were to take the fourth heart.
