The Villainess and I, her Zombie

The group of beautiful people from the Envy family didn't react properly at first at the declaration from the masked man.

Though, in their defense, why would they think that someone would actually try to attack them in the very capital of their own territory '“ a place where there should be no question about the influence they held.

Hence '“ they merely thought that the white light of the skills coming off of the masked man was merely meant as a tough-guy act '“ especially since the girl that was with him was trying her best to stop him.

He will stop, he will definitely stop before he will hit do anything.

No, seriously, he must stop, right?

There's no way that he will actually...

*WHAM*

The stunning face of Lime, the man that the man talked to, met with the gloved face and lost miserably in the contest of toughness.

*RING*

"!!!!!!!!"

The gears started slowly spinning in the heads of Envys only when Lime flew past the others and hit the wall right next to the door with enough power to make the bell above the door ring.

"Wha...?!"

*WHAM*

The next Envy opened his mouth in a shocked gasp when the masked man used his free hand as a makeshift hammer and nailed his jaw, breaking it and shattering the bone into splinters.

"TERMAS! TERMAS! NO! STOP! DON'T!"

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

And despite the cries of the crimson-haired, fancily-dressed girl by his side, the masked man continued the one-sided beat-down raining down the punches with the gloved fist that could as well be an iron mace.

The masked man was simply walking towards the door and punching anyone in his wake no matter male or female '“ if they were an Envy, they were greeted with the exact same amount of violence.

"SURROUND HI-UGGGHHHHUAAAAA!"

Shouted a beautiful blond-haired man with silky long hair just as the all-too-happy fist landed right in the middle of his stomach, twisting in to deal more damage to all the internal organs that could suffer from the kinetic energy passing through and launching him off with enough strength to break down the door of the weapon shop ran by the child kobold too horrified to even make a sound let alone try to stop the onslaught.

It was pure carnage, the actual reverse of the group lynching '“ it was the much larger group that had no hope for making it out in one piece '“ but of course, some of them tried and even succeeded running away, leaving their brethren to a pain-filled fate.

Some, not all.

Despite the Envys not being the shining example of bravery and unity '“ most of them did try to actually bunch up on the single man utterly destroying them in a brawl... though with a miserable outcome.

Whatever skills that guy was using '“ he was actually insane.

Using the only left hand, since his right arm was held back by the crimson-haired girl still trying to make his stop the craziness, he was successfully fending off and countering every single attack '“ he was simply too fast for anyone from the Envys group to catch off guard.

...but maybe the girl was his weak point...?

One of the Envys had actually come up with such an idea and instead of trying to attack the masked man, he aimed at the crying crimson-haired girl with the full intent of harming her just to make the man's rampage pause.

...not the smartest decision...

*CHOMP*

...but not because of the reasons that might come up to that Envy's mind...

Why? Well, because the girl, instead of getting sliced apart, preferably decapitated, actually went and caught the blade with her mouth...!

No...!

Not caught!

*CRUNCH*

She bit it through and chew on it without as much as looking at the shocked beautiful man who attacked her.

"G-GLUTTONY FAMILY?!"

Apparently, the only reasonable explanation for such a mind-boggling thing to happen was that the girl was a member of another main family of the kingdom.

"Then...!"

The same man looked over at the masked man and his eyes widened.

*clang*

The next moment he threw away the partially eaten sword and ran out the door without another word.

Merely a few moments later, all the other Envy's burst out the shop right onto the busy street like some sort of human confetti '“ not the gory one, they were all merely thrown away by Zombie who was getting way too into beating them down, completely losing the sight of the original purpose he had arrived at the city despite Kopia clinging to him and doing whatever was in her power to stop him.

"Termas! You can't go further than this! You can't just kill them all here! That would be very bad!"

The humanoid blade called out digging her heels into the road but that resulted only in her leaving the deep trails in the pavement as she was being pulled by the seemingly unstoppable blue undead bulldozing his way through.

"Khahaha... Lime... Do you have a close connection with the avatar of envy...?"

Zombie giggled underneath his hood and veil and grabbed the beautiful man with a messed up face he threw out last to make sure that he would not escape by the throat, raising him up.

"Kghh...!"

Lime Envy choked on the blood that was gushing from his crushed nose and pouring into his mouth and he did his best to stand up and break free, but the disguised blue undead was holding him in the air.

...Lime sure was regretting not choosing a taller elf to steal the appearance from...

"Oh, I don't worry, I actually don't care about good old Rambutan... Instead... How about young lady Fillia? Is trash like you able to set up a little meeting between me and her?"

Zombie's smile grew to a terrifying grin underneath his veil, but the threatening aura he released was enough to convey the overall feeling without the need to remove his disguise.

"...! Termas! No! Definitely not! That's not how the story should go...!"

Kopia flinched and became ghastly pale even though there was no actual blood coursing through her veins.

"...?"

And for the first time, her words seemed to have an effect.

"How the story should go...? Why do you sound as if you know how the story should...? wait..."

Zombie furrowed his brows and looked away from the struggling man he was choking and faced his humanoid sword.

"When I touched you and messed up your form, Pati said that you've read her mind... Are you telling me that you KNOW what we should be doing...?!"

"...! N... Not really... Well... maybe a little bit..."

He gasped in disbelief, watching the crimson-haired girl back off and start slouching with a troubled face.

"Are... you... SERIOUS?!"

"UGHHHHHYYYYYGH!!!"

Zombie growled, subconsciously clenching his fist and squeezing Lime's neck so hard that his head almost popped off like a bottle cap.

"...what is the meaning of this...?"

But then, before Kopia stopped fidgeting and responded to the blue undead, a new person joined the scene.

Older gentlemen whose hair were almost completely gray, wearing a butler's uniform and holding onto a bag with groceries.

"!!!!!!"

*thump*

Within an instant, every other thought got blown out of Zombie's head and he threw the Lime away as if the beaten-up man was merely some worthless trash.

"Carambola....!"

The blue undead whispered with overwhelming excitement, as he recognized the personal butler and servant of the official villainess, Fillia Envy.
