Princess Fischl

Chapter 66

Looking at the progress of completing the dailies, I thought about what should be done first. On the one hand, it is extremely interesting how fast the shooting quest will be completed, after all, even if I can complete it daily, it will take 10,000 days to achieve 100% skill, and that is more than 27 years. However, on the other hand, there is a two-handed weapon, for which the quest is already 60% completed.

It's strange, by the way, I haven't noticed this before, but it seems that if you limit the force used to the human level, then the task progresses faster.

- Oz, do you think I should finish the two-handed weapon daily first or should I take up the bow? - I decided to ask Oz for advice.

- Milady, I think it's time to finish with two-handed weapons. It will take many more years to advance your shooting skill, and less than a month for two-handed weapons. In addition, it's likely that the shooting quest will progress much slower.

- Yes, perhaps you are right. - I agreed and cast one last glance in the direction where the group of teenagers had decided to start searching for zombies.

- Oz, let's unite, - I said, wanting to experience the joy of flying on my own wings again.

- Yes, my lady.

I don't know why, but when I was flying off to search for zombies, I wanted to fly right over Takashi's group. Of course, I didn't go low enough for them to see my face, but I wonder how they would react to a creature that vaguely resembles a fallen angel. Would they believe in Christianity? Or would they think they saw a tengu?

"I think this guy recognized you, my lady," I heard Oz's voice in my head.

- Yes? Oh well. - Noticing that a group of schoolchildren were looking at me, I stopped and waved my hand in greeting before flying on.

- Do you think he'll tell them who exactly they saw? Or maybe he'll just make up his own mind?

- What was that? - Rey asked, stunned, looking at the retreating black figure with black wings.

"It was just a bird," Saya answered confidently, to which everyone looked at her with the same meaningful gaze, literally screaming "are you serious?"

- What else do you think it could be? Maybe you'll also say that tengu or fallen angels suddenly turned out to be true and started flying openly across the sky?! - the girl exploded.

"If that's really the case, then I sincerely hope that it was a tengu and not a demon," Takashi said with a wry smile.

- Why did you decide that it was her and not him? And in general it could have been a hallucination. - Takagi still refused to believe what she saw.

- I have very good eyesight, and it was definitely a girl. Besides, I doubt that if we were hallucinating, everyone would see the same thing. - Takashi shook his head. - Just get used to the idea that this world is not so simple.

- But this is not scientific, - Saya screamed on the verge of hysteria.

- Damn Gojo, - the guy hissed, realizing that he would now have to calm the girl whose picture of the world had just finally cracked.

Having flown higher, I was able to find a rather decent crowd of zombies, which had gathered around a fire truck. I would venture to assume that it was used to distract the zombies and I must admit that the absence of these creatures on other streets shows that the plan is working. There will definitely be a couple of thousand of these creatures here.

Having found my training targets, I, without bothering to hide, landed right on the edge of this legion of zombies and without thinking twice, drew my sword and began to chop down the zombies.

I barely strengthened my body, and only restored my stamina with the reverse technique. Having decided to rely entirely on the mastery of the sword.

I was as if in a trance. A horizontal swing, dozens of severed heads and fountains of blood, a step forward, a horizontal swing around its axis, more fountains of blood and another step. This carnage began to resemble a kind of bloody dance, into which I was completely immersed. Someone less squeamish might even have considered it beautiful.

Under the fountains of darkened blood, as if dancing a perverted version of a waltz, only after 3 hours, I finally finished off the last zombie. Despite everything, the only thing in my appearance that did not escape the fate of being stained with blood were my shoes and stockings.

Frowning slightly as I looked at the stained part of my wardrobe, I turned to Inumaki's cursed technique. "Cleanse yourself."

"It's a pity that Inumaki won't be able to learn soon how convenient his technique is in everyday life," I smiled, watching how after just one word from me the shoes and stockings became perfectly clean.

Suddenly my attention was drawn to the sound of a car engine, which after some time looked out from around the corner and drove right into the place of the recent massacre and immediately braked.

Looking closer, I saw that Takashi was sitting behind the wheel with a bandaged shoulder on which a strange symbol was written in blood, the math teacher was in the seat next to him, and Saeko was looking out from the back seats.

So we stood there, frozen, looking at each other. I looked at the three who had somehow managed to get into something and break away from the others, and they looked at me, so beautiful, with black wings on my back, in the middle of a sea of corpses with a naked red katana.
