"DOOOOOOO IT!!!"
"~~~!?"
Gori-chan’s kick struck the Troll Mummy’s right arm directly.
The decaying arm was easily crushed and hung limp from the shoulder.
However, the Troll Mummy grabbed the fallen arm with its other hand and forcibly reattached it to the shoulder.
Then, as if nothing had happened, it was restored to its original state.
"Ugh, this is never going to end!"
Though Gori-chan had the upper hand against the Troll Mummy, it was clear that it wouldn't be finished easily.
No matter how much damage he inflicted, the creature quickly regenerated due to its self-healing abilities.
Everyone else fighting the high-level undead was also struggling greatly.
The Dullahan that Selen and Selius-kun were fighting was wearing heavy armor, making it difficult to even deal any damage.
"It disappeared again!"
"Where’s it going to appear from next!? Damn it, Land, behind you!"
"Wha... gah!?"
It seemed the Grim Reaper could temporarily disappear by slipping into the shadows, and its unpredictable movements were throwing Barurat-san and his hunting team off balance.
"Such swordsmanship...!"
"And this thing’s playing tricks like a real fighter, not like a zombie!"
Queen Maribel and Kasim were also struggling against the Living Armor.
Even with the combined strength of the 'Battle Maiden' Queen and Kasim’s 'Dark Sword Techniques,' they couldn’t land a hit.
Our only hope was Gai-san, who could use purification magic effective against undead.
The Hydra Zombie they were facing had stopped regenerating after receiving the light of purification.
If we could defeat the Hydra Zombie, we could proceed to deal with the others one by one.
"Hehe, I won’t let you do that."
But at that moment, the Lich summoned new reinforcements.
Lower-level undead started appearing one after another, and they all converged on Gai-san, attacking him relentlessly.
"Ugh, I don’t have time to deal with these guys..."
If Gai-san were restrained, it would be extremely difficult for us to manage.
"Ugh..."
"Ah, Akane-san seems like she’s about to wake up again."
Thud.
"Fugyaa!? ...Thud."
I hit Akane-san’s stomach to put her back to sleep.
Just then, my shadow clone appeared with a flash of movement.
"Perfect timing. Did you bring it?"
"Yeah. I’ve got ten for now. There should be about a hundred in total, so I’ll bring them one by one."
"Thanks."
The shadow clone handed me small vials filled with liquid.
I passed them to Vegalen-san and the others.
"Lord Luke, what’s this?"
"Holy water."
"Holy water!?"
"Yeah, I thought we might need it, so I asked Millia to make a large batch."
Holy water.
As the name suggests, it’s water that has been consecrated.
It starts as normal water, but after being offered to the gods and prayed over repeatedly, it becomes holy water with power against impure beings.
Alternatively, it can be created by someone who can use purification magic, like Gai-san, by imbueding the water with magic.
"They say its effectiveness is proportional to the quality and quantity of the prayers..."
I wasn’t sure if it would work against high-level undead, but there was no other option.
Luckily, we had a hundred bottles, so I figured we should use them generously.
"So, everyone, let’s throw these at them."
" " "Understood!" " "
First, Vegalen-san and the others targeted the easier-to-hit Hydra Zombie and Troll Mummy, throwing the holy water bottles all at once.
Crash crash crash...
As the bottles hit, they shattered, spilling holy water everywhere.
" " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!? " "
"Oh, it looks like it's working. They’re writhing in pain."
The areas where the holy water landed quickly began to melt away.
And there was no sign of any regeneration.
"W-What is this!? ...Could it be, holy water!? But this should never work on these creatures...!"
The Lich was surprised by the unexpected outcome.
"Let’s keep throwing them."
" " " Yes!" " "
