"elder sister……"
Looking at the nurse in front of her, Risa Enda had a very complicated expression. Although she had prepared herself mentally before and knew that it was unlikely that her sister would survive the disaster, when the expectation became reality and her sister really appeared in front of her in this unimaginable form, Risa Enda still found it hard to accept.
"I'm sorry. Please accept my condolences."
Fang Zheng - or Shizuku gently patted Risa Onda's shoulder. After all, she had long known that in this situation, not many people would be able to survive, especially since Risa Onda's sister was originally from this village, was a nurse, and was about to get married...
Well, the death flags are all filled.
Thinking of this, Shizuku didn't say anything else. She raised Frostmourne again and stabbed the nurse in front of her. Accompanied by the wailing of souls, Risa Enda's sister fell to the ground like everyone else, without a sound.
"No... Sister, why, why did it turn out like this!!!"
Seeing her sister falling to the ground, Risa Enda burst into tears, but Shizuku patted her shoulder.
"Cheer up, I think, someone can answer our questions, right, Mr. Reverend?"
"Why?"
Hearing Shizuku's words, Risa Enda, Reiko Takao and Harumi Yohoda were all startled. They looked in the direction of Shizuku's gaze and were surprised to find a dark shadow hiding quietly at the other end of the passage. When he noticed the four people looking at him, he was startled and turned around and wanted to run away.
However, at this moment, Shizuku raised her right hand and clenched it forward into the air. Then, a chain of ice suddenly appeared under the feet of the black shadow, binding it. Then, Shizuku pulled back with her backhand, and the black shadow flew into the air, and then fell heavily in front of everyone.
At this time, everyone could see clearly that the shadow was a young man in his twenties wearing priest clothes. At this moment, his face was pale and his whole body was shaking. However, Fang Zheng didn't care about his reaction and directly stabbed the man's neck with his sword, which frightened him and stopped immediately.
"Well, sir, I think we should stop wasting each other's time and tell us what happened here?"
"I, I tell you, don't kill me...!!!"
The priest had obviously just witnessed with his own eyes how the girl in front of him killed those crazy villagers as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and naturally he had no doubt that the other party would chop off his head, so he raised his hands in surrender almost without hesitation, and then told everything he knew like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
It turns out that the pastor's name is Makino, and he is the pastor of the village's religious faith, the True Fish Sect. However, here he is not called a pastor, but a mentor...
"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point."
“Yes, yes, yes…”
This story started hundreds of years ago. At that time, there was a drought here and the villagers were suffering from hunger. However, at this time, a fish suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the ground. At that time, the villagers were also very hungry. When they saw the fish falling from the sky, they thought it was a gift from the gods, and then they ate the fish directly.
But just as the villagers were eating the fish, the sky began to darken, and there was even thunder and lightning, which scared the villagers. They thought it was the anger of the gods for what they had done. In order to atone their sins, the villagers said that they would put the fish back into the sky and pray for forgiveness from the gods.
The True Fish Cult was established based on this. The god they believe in is the fish that fell from the sky. Of course, this is not a myth, but a real thing. In fact, after that, the True Fish Cult has been holding a ceremony to try to achieve the original purpose, which is to revive the flying fish that fell from the sky, return to the kingdom of the sky, and obtain its forgiveness.
In this way, all True Fish Cult believers will be granted the power of immortality for their merit in resurrecting the gods.
The content of this ritual is that every generation, a pair of pure-blooded twin sisters will be selected as sacrifices from the descendants of the Kamijou family who were cursed for eating flying fish. Once the ritual is successful, the younger sister will disappear, while the older sister will survive, and the flying fish Tatsuko will also be resurrected.
However, because there has never been a descendant who has met the requirements for hundreds of years, the ceremony has never been successful.
The previous ceremony also failed because the sacrifice, Miyako Kamishiro, fled, causing earthquakes and mudslides in the entire village, causing considerable damage (of course, this is the so-called wrath of the gods).
"…It was the same this time. During the ceremony, this generation of Miyako also chose to escape, which resulted in the failure of the ceremony. In the end, we were trapped here… This is not our world, but the previous world. Unless we complete the ceremony, all of us will be trapped here… and we will never be able to leave…"
After listening to the pastor's words, Shizuku clenched her fist and punched down.
“Plop.”
The world is quiet.
“…”
Looking at the pastor who was knocked unconscious, everyone present was silent. It was not until a while later that Risa Enda spoke in a low voice.
"Now...what should we do?"
"Do we really have to complete that cruel ritual as this person said?"
Reiko Takao seemed even more uneasy. As a teacher, she was quite disgusted by this behavior of depriving others of their lives.
However, Shizuku shook her head.
"No, that's not necessary."
"Why?"
"Now that things are clear, it's my fight."
As she spoke, Shizuku also sighed. She was now almost certain that the so-called "flying fish" worshipped by this village should be an outer god, but... this outer god was too weak!
Although the ancient god was killed in Yharnam when Kos was an orphan, the people on the opposite side were well prepared and knew what they were facing. Moreover, the ancient god was also ambushed and caught red-handed during her pregnancy. There was nothing she could do about her bad luck.
But there are only a few hungry villagers here, the kind that are almost starving to death, and they can actually eat an Outer God?
Are the villagers in this place so tough? If you encounter Cthulhu, will you also be made into octopus balls and eaten?
Of course, eating the Outer Gods doesn't come without a price, and it's clear just by looking at these lunatics around.
Despite all the complaints, Shizuku brought the three of them to the road leading down the mountain from the village. The road was still shrouded in fog and nothing could be seen.
"Ms. Kasugano?"
"Don't talk."
Shizuku shook her head, signaling Enda Risa not to speak. Then she clenched Frostmourne, raised it high, and swung it hard in front of her eyes.
"call--!!!"
For a moment, the cold wind howled, and the thick fog in front of them instantly dispersed to both sides as if cut by an invisible blade, revealing the road below.
"Hurry, you will be able to return to your original world after you get out."
"But what will you do?"
Hearing Shizuku's words, the three looked at Shizuku in front of them uneasily, and the latter smiled slightly.
"I will deal with everything here. After all, these things cannot continue to exist, so you should leave quickly. Don't worry, if there is a chance in the future, maybe we will meet again. Of course, given the nature of my job, it might be better not to meet again."
“…”
Hearing this, the three of them fell silent, and then Risa Enda lowered her head and bowed to the girl in front of her.
"Thank you very much, Miss Kasugano."
"Me too. If it weren't for you, Harumi and I would have no way of escaping from this place."
"Me too, big sister, thank you."
The three of them bowed to Shizuku one after another, then turned and left. They turned their heads to look behind them from time to time, but not long after, the figures of the three people disappeared silently into the air.
"Okay, done."
After making sure that the three people had left, Shizuku breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned around and looked at the village in front of her.
At this moment, the red rain fell again, and low screams were heard again from all around. If it were a movie set, this would be the time for him to kill everyone, show his heroism, and dominate the entire village. But...
This is too troublesome!
There's something even simpler!
Thinking of this, Shizuku clenched Frostmourne in her backhand and stabbed it into the ground with force. Soon, icy cold air spread out and covered everything in sight with a layer of ice.
Then she pulled out the greatsword with all her strength and held it high.
"Warriors of the Frost Wastes, wake up!"
“Crash!!!”
Along with the call, the ice suddenly broke, and the undead of the Scourge crawled out from the ground. They stared fiercely at the village in front of them, roaring and shouting. Then, Shizuku clenched Frostmourne and swung it forward.
"Destroy them!!"
The next moment, the Death Army rushed towards the village ahead like a tide.
“Boom boom boom…”
The earth shook.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Feeling the shaking of the earth, a woman dressed as a nun who was playing the organ in the underground cave stood up in confusion and looked around. She was none other than the villager who gained the power of immortality by eating flying fish meat in the legend - Yaobikuni. In fact, the belief in the True Fish Cult in the entire village and the ceremony called the Divine Marriage were also her work, in order to revive the god she had eaten.
And on the altar in front of her, there was a black-haired girl lying. She was the object of sacrifice in this ceremony, Miyako Kamishiro.
The nun and several people loyal to her finally found the escaped Kamishiro Miyako, and were about to start the ceremony again here, but this...
“——!!”
At the same time, a strange scream sounded, and then a twisted black shadow gradually emerged in the ritual hall. It was the Outer God known as Chenzi, the unlucky guy who had fallen here and was eaten as sashimi by the villagers. However, at this moment, the black shadow kept screaming and twisting, as if afraid of something coming.
"What's wrong? Master Tatsuko? What happened?"
Seeing Chen Zi's reaction, the nun also became uneasy. However, at this moment, the wall behind her suddenly collapsed, and then dozens of undead from the Scourge appeared. Seeing this scene, the nun and her subordinates turned pale. Although they believed in Chen Zi's outer god and had witnessed some unimaginable strange events, these undead in front of them were still completely beyond their expectations.
"No, no, help!!!"
Seeing the appearance of these undead, one of the women screamed and turned to escape. However, when she turned to escape, an abomination suddenly swung a hook and flew directly over, piercing the woman's body and pulling her back. The woman only had time to scream a few times before she completely disappeared in the undead army.
“Ah…ah…”
At this moment, the man in white on the other side also had a pale face and weak legs, but before he could escape, the undead raised the sword in his hand and pierced him. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a pile of meat with a scream.
Then, a young girl walked out from among the dead.
“You, who are you?”
The nun looked pale as she looked at the girl holding a sword and a musket in front of her. But the girl didn't even look at her, she just looked into the void behind the nun and smiled strangely.
"Ah, I found it... Then, I won't hold you back."
“Swish!!!”
As the girl finished her words, suddenly, several tentacles emerged from the dark shadows and grabbed at the empty air.
“——!!!”
The piercing screams sounded again, and the earth began to tremble wildly. In the air where there was nothing originally, an illusory and indifferent shadow gradually emerged. At this moment, the shadow had been tightly bound by tentacles, and was being ruthlessly torn and devoured - although everyone was similar, whether they were ancient gods or outer gods, they had no sense of companionship.
In the blink of an eye, the already weak Flying Fish Outer God was torn into pieces and completely devoured. Only then did Shizuku turn around and look at the nun beside her. At this moment, she had white hair, and her original black hair had long disappeared. She looked old and decayed, and looked like she was about to die. At this moment, she looked at herself with fear in her eyes, as if she was a big devil who suddenly appeared from somewhere?
Clearly according to the pace of this story, you are the final boss, so can't you act a little like a boss?
Never mind. None of this matters.
Thinking of this, Shizuku raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
"Eat her."
The next moment, the sea of death suddenly erupted and swallowed everything in front of it.
