The Villainess and I, her Zombie

Chapter 216 - Tearing Through

"IF YOU GET TUNNEL VISION AT LEAST FACE TOWARD YOUR OPPONENTS, IDIOT! MEND! UGRRH...!"

*WHAM*

*CRACK*

Mary howled furiously at Mika, while hitting the ground and jumping away from the foot of a three-legged titan-class.

No, take that back, that monster had legs instead of arms too so it was a five-legged beast instead.

*WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM*

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*

And it continued stomping at the brown-haired girl with all of its feet even while the girl was suffering through the excruciating pain of her fingers getting reassembled from splinters and reattached without any anesthesia while also constantly breaking the bones in her legs to jump away far enough to not get crushed by the feet the size of two dump-trucks put together each.

"...I will... rip out your intestines... you screwed up freak...!"

Mary gritted her teeth and howled jumping away and leading the multilegged beast away from the rest of the approaching titan-class monsters - she wasn't just running away blindly, she could just jump away so far that the monster would simply lost the track of her, but instead, she chose to hop to steadily guide it to where she wanted it.

"KILL THAT DAMNED THING ALREADY, ARION!"

*CRACK*

"MEND! GHAAARGH!"

Finally, after just a few seconds that extended for a whole eternity - for Mary at least - the girl shouted and jumped away into the fog, shattering most of the bones in her lower body and instantly healing it in the roughest way possible.

"..."

The five-legged titan-class tilted its tiny mouthless head and blinked with all three beady golden eyes in rapid succession, just as if it understood what Mary had said but had no clue why she had said it.

Then...

*CHOMP*

The titan-class monster's tiny head got encased with a black mass and coupled with a horrifying sound got ripped off together with a large chunk of its torso.

/Titan-class monster defeated

Participation percent increased

The headless body took a few steps and even swung one of its additional legs as if it wanted to finish Mary in its last moments, but in the end, the beast just ended up twitching for a few more seconds before it crashed against the ground.

"Rhoah... (That damned thing barely fit in my mouth...!)"

The black wolf that appeared behind the fallen titan-class monster had his jaws full of unidentifiable mass oozing with yellowish goop.

*CRUNCH*

*GULP*

"Raor. (It tastes weird.) Raor. (I prefer Angels.)"

Arion complained but still licked the yellow goop off of the side of his mouth.

"...damn it... that pain nullification skill is worthless, I still feel every single fiber that gets reconnected..."

Mary laid on her back and sighed, covering her eyes with her arms.

"..."

Arion looked at her in silence.

"...is that berserk idiot still alive?"

She asked even though she knew that if Mika died she would receive a message about the quest failure.

"Raor. (She's holding on surprisingly well.) Raor, raor. (I think your words had an effect on her.)"

The wolf reported sounding impressed and surprised in equal measure.

"...fine, if that's the case I'll go back there."

Mary sighed and got up.

*BOOM*

*RIIIP*

The next moment she already exploded her legs and was flying through the foggy sky, leaving a trail of blood behind.

Mika was holding on quite well, but that didn't mean she was winning.

The monsters attacking her were far tougher than those from the previous wave and she couldn't just finish them off in one punch, she needed at least two or even three clean hits.

And for that, she needed to not be constantly interrupted by other titan-class monsters trying to kill her.

Unluckily for her, the intelligence of the gigantic monsters was increased with every wave and now they were fully capable of coming up with a plan to counter her power on the spot - a simple but devastatingly effective hit and run.

Only not in the way humans would do it.

Those beasts retreated attacked relentlessly until they were hit once - just once - and when they did, they would get away from the girl and charge towards the first defense line with reckless abandon.

Mika couldn't stop them, because she had to constantly watch out for the new ones that kept showing up from the fog, and even Shanks couldn't do much while recharging between shots - in this situation Blueberry would come in handy but it wasn't like the air was completely safe either.

*¿¤«¿««¡£€•€$€*

*%^»¿¡£¥€±[`*

*^|±£]€¥±*

The titan-class monsters waiting for a chance to get Mika were shooting the downsized versions of the golden beams from their eyes in the meantime, all aimed at the emperor griffin and her rider.

Blueberry had no other choice but to concentrate on dodging and keeping the rat-faced man on her back safe, she couldn't counter even if she wanted.

"ARGH! YOU DAMNED BEASTS! STOP RUNNING AWAY!"

Mika roared when the cancer-bear hybrid skulked away after a hit that should have most definitely kill any ordinary living creature and threw herself after it just to be tackled from the side by a gigantic eyeball on feeble-looking stick-like legs.

*SLAM*

As the ashen-haired girl was smashed into the ground, the giant eyeball focused its iris on her and begun glowing with a bright golden light.

*RIIIIP*

*CRACK*

"MEND!*

*CRACK*

"URRRGH!"

But before the abomination could either blink or properly unleash its additional attack its stick-like legs got severed by Mary who appeared out of nowhere followed by a bloody mist.

"•±€¥£±¤¤>.^%%¡¡¤±÷"

The girl lost her whole right arm in the process, but it was worth it - the castle-sized eyeball monster unleashed a pained roar as it got toppled revealing a tiny mouth at the very bottom of its freaky body.

"GET IT NOW!"

Mary growled at Mika who was just barely beginning to stand up.

"Eh...? A...ah! Yes!"

The ashen-haired girl flinched and hurriedly nodded.

She then launched herself in the air just to stuck the flailing eyeball titan-class monster with a meteor-like fist that ended up splitting the beast's body revealing that the eyeball was in fact full of gooey yellowish intestines.

"Mend. Urgh...!"

Mary arrived at Mika's side and activated her skill which caused her wounds to close up as if it was a video played in reverse.

"Don't get distracted kid! You don't have to kill them all! If they want to be weakened and die under the artillery on the second defense line - let them do that!"

She scoffed, looking down at the ashen-haired girl.

"But... you said you want me to help you kill at least ten of them...!"

Mika clenched her fists and spoke through her teeth.

"In total! That's including the next two waves! I already got one and we still have more than four hours Don't rush it, or you'll die!"

Mary frowned and shook her head.
