Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 69

(EP-69.2) Shadows Cast #5

069 – Shadows Looming Ark #5

At that moment, the Draco Family zombies began to attack us. They were very fast and agile, not like normal zombies.

“You want to find the professor who’s not showing her face here?”

Sureung, cha-a-ang!

Elga wielded the giant halberd and cut the bodies of the Draco Family zombies in half. Each time her giant ax swung, arms and legs would fly in all directions, scattering fragments of blood and flesh.

“This is nothing!”

Aleister muttered something to Elga who shouted so confidently.

━Halo Dasi Tumb!

At the same time, the blue flame that fluttered in his hand burned even bigger. Whatever it was, it didn’t look very good.

But that movement came to a stand still.

━Grrrrrr.

“Death is the beginning, not the end, not the rest.”

It was probably because what Mirna started doing, chanting something like a prayer, was working.

“Akin to serpents and dragons shedding their skins and scales, it is but the start to a new spiral of life. As said—”

━Grrr....

It was clear that she was trying to regain her father.

“This will never end! Anything is good, so do it quickly!”

Elga was busy dealing with the zombies coming from all directions.

“Do not be afraid of treading the valley of gloomy death. I will seize the necks of the demons harming you....”

━Grrrrrrr...!

Mirna was also busy trying to control her father.

Both women seemed very busy with their work.

That being the case, I was the only one who could find Professor Balan who was controlling the undead from somewhere.

“Huuu-.”

I took a breath.

As far as I knew, a necromancer must keep a certain distance from their minions.

If they got too far away from them, they’d lose control, and if they were too close, there was no point in bringing minions. They might as well fight personally.

That meant Professor Balan was hiding somewhere in this darkness.

As for where she was...

I didn’t know.

Should I just shout out loud?

“Professor Balan, show yourself!”

━Fufufuu, how pathetic. There’s no point in resisting brats.

A gloomy voice echoed through the huge space.

Then someone gradually appeared. It was Professor Balan wearing a black robe.

She held a cross-shaped dagger and a long staff in each hand, and wrapped a thick chain of some sort around her neck like a necklace.

“Well, I showed myself. What are you going to do now?”

... What, did that really work?

The professor continued.

“It is no use resisting. Unnecessary. In vain. Even if you try your best, the barrier is destined to fall. By then, the malice beyond that has been once turned away will engulf the world.”

Unlike her stuttering during lectures, Professor Balan was now speaking fluently. Elga chided.

“Barrier? Why are you talking about barriers out of the blue? You were that crazy necromancer, weren’t you?”

Elga frowned in incomprehension, but I understood it differently.

I remembered the second part of the novel, which came after Aira’s execution, where the barrier fell.

It was the story of a warrior training institution, Ark, fighting as the last bastion to stop the collapse of the northern wall and the dark forces from coming.

But that wouldn’t happen.

Unless Aira got executed according to the original storyline, the barrier would ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) not fall. This was the setting.
