Frieren frowned.
“Strange. Why doesn’t his power seem to have a limit?”
A hint of curiosity appeared in her normally calm eyes.
She didn’t believe anyone could wield endless power.
Even her own massive reserves of magic, deliberately sealed, would eventually run dry if she went all out.
Akame said, “It’s been thirty minutes.”
What they didn’t know was that every corpse Ethan killed was quietly making him stronger.
Mai Sakurajima swallowed.
“Is this… really a power a human can have?”
Frieren replied, “Human mages can achieve this much.”
Stella sighed.
“Alright, I take back what I said earlier. He really is strong. But @Saeko Busujima, aren’t you afraid of freezing to death following him like that?”
Saeko Busujima didn’t respond.
She trailed behind Ethan from a distance, eyes fixed on his back.
Even as her body shivered from the cold, she didn’t stop.
As for why… she probably couldn’t explain it herself.
…
Once they left the ice-covered area, the temperature returned to normal.
Inside Fujimi Academy, many students hiding in the classroom buildings stared in terror, whispering among themselves.
Some guessed that someone must have thrown a freezing bomb or some kind of weapon.
Ethan noticed there were still plenty of people hiding inside the buildings.
He felt a bit helpless.
So he couldn’t just freely hunt corpses anymore?
He was here to kill the undead, not other people.
“I’m planning to leave your school and head outside. What about you?” he asked, turning back.
“I…”Saeko snapped back to her senses and thought of her companions.
She shook her head.
“I need to find them.”
“Your companions?”
Ethan immediately thought of Rei Miyamoto and the others.
With his enhanced vision and hearing, he could already see a group surrounded by corpses in front of a teaching building.
He pointed.
“Those people over there, right? Your friends.”
“?!!”
Saeko looked over in shock.😳
“Rei Miyamoto?!”
A chestnut-haired girl with a striking figure turned at the sound and lit up with joy.
“Sis Saeko! We finally found you!”
“Hey! Don’t drop your guard!!!” shouted a pink-haired girl with twin tails and glasses, clearly furious.
“Everyone hold formation and move toward Saeko!” a boy commanded.
Three girls and two boys fought their way forward while battling the undead.
Ethan folded his arms and watched with interest.
So this was the protagonist squad.
Rei Miyamoto with the chestnut hair.
Saya Takagi, the pink-haired genius.
Shizuka Marikawa, the blonde and busty school nurse.
And the male lead, Takashi Komuro, along with the chubby Hirano Kota.
Suddenly Saeko’s pupils shrank.
She shouted, “Watch out!!”
“Ahhh! Get off me!!!”
Before anyone understood what was happening, a scream rang out.
The chubby boy had been grabbed by the leg by a corpse.
Then—
“ROAR!”
The corpse bit down.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
“Hirano!!!”
Takashi instinctively reached out to save him, but like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline, Hirano panicked and dragged Takashi down with him.
“Takashi!!!”
Rei rushed forward in panic.
“Rei!” Saya grabbed her just in time.
In the span of a single second, the two who had fallen were completely surrounded.
Their screams echoed.
Seconds later, only the wet chewing sounds remained.
“No…”Rei collapsed to her knees in shock.
How could this happen…
“It’s over…”Saya despaired.
Two dead.
One mentally broken.
What could she and Shizuka even do now?
Surrounded by corpses, this was certain death.
“Guild Leader Ethan! Please save them!!!” Saeko urgently begged.🥺
“I’m sorry. The deal is already finished.”
His reply was cold and indifferent.
Call him heartless if you want.
Ethan didn’t care.
They were strangers.
He wasn’t some saint who saved everyone he met.
Just because they were pretty?
He wasn’t the kind of man who lost his head over beautiful women.
Saving them didn’t guarantee anything for him anyway.
“The deal…”
Saeko suddenly understood.
Ethan had come only because of her trade.
Now that it was complete, she had no right to demand anything from him.
But… there was still a way.
[Ding! Saeko Busujima has initiated a trade request. Please choose the trade condition!]
Trade content: Save Rei Miyamoto and the other two, and protect them for a period of time.
“Heh.” Ethan grinned.
So she finally figured it out.
The only thing Saeko had left to offer as a trade condition… was the right to use her body.
Agree, and she would give herself to him.If she gave herself, he would save them.
[Ding! Your trade request has been approved!]
[Trade Condition]: One-time right to use the body.🖤
[Ding! Confirm the trade?]
“…..”
