Chaos...

That's what erupted the moment those hulking monsters appeared.

All the people who rushed forward to enter the village were torn apart; their bodies were used for crushing and killing other humans like fleshy weapons, killing those who only wished to find solace in this ending world.

Claws tore apart unprepared women, no longer protected by their macho team leaders and losing the men who they entrusted with their bodies; However, some could pull back, and their teams and groups were devastated as they desperately tried to escape the 10 monsters that began to tear apart humanity like they combine harvesters.

This wasn't something unique to Forsaken Village, each place where the people managed to defeat the guardian and enter caused havoc.

Her voice was twisted with lies; sure, it would be open forever, but only after they defeated the guardians, which would spawn in proportion to the number of humans standing outside. If even a single person remained inside--the doors would close again at once! It'd just become an obstacle course for them all over again. But now, there were more than ten creatures here already--so much so that they had begun tearing through the buildings themselves.

"Girls, take a step back, form tight lines and draw your bows; Sarah, use your flaming arrows on their joints, bring them down or slow them however much you can." Mildred stood at the front of the vesta archers, her shortbow glistening in the morning sun, the darkness of night still twisting and lingering in this place as she watched the 10 zombie Ghasts tear apart the people that were chatting happily earlier.

"Yes, M'am!" Sarah replied, her cute face filled with delight that she seemed important, while some of the other girls with less prominent abilities felt they must find a use for them and gain both Mildred and their master's praise!

A white flash appeared from nowhere, her body almost naked, covered in fresh blood and flesh, Maria's hands like huge, monstrous claws with human and zombie remains in her hands; she seemed strange, her mouth hanging open with sharp teeth on display, her red eyes shrinking and dilating as she searched the crowd, almost able to feel the scent of Alex, her body surging with excitement and delight.

"S....strong guys....!" She exclaimed with a softer voice than before, now slowly recovering before she turned back to Mildred, tilting her head before blowing a kiss and dashing towards Laura's group, who were now making a short line to protect the archers and wait for the reactions of the zombies after decimating the humans that tried to fight back in vain.

"L...Lara...."

"Oh? It's Maria; your voice is getting cuter! I am sure darling would love that!" Since becoming a ghoul, Laura became more light-hearted and friendly with the girls; her heart was still filled with worry and fear that Alex might discard her, and she wanted him to seal the deal and take her all the way. Then she would use her mature skills to make him her prisoner of flesh.

"Mmmm, true, master loves those soft voices," Samantha added, her hips resting against the red-headed female who seemed to listen to the conversation intently; she was told that Alex would give them new names after he returned as both she and the girl who crushed her violates genitals wanted a completely fresh start, now completely different from their past selves.

'I hope he will accept our plea....'

"P-please.... Help....Us!" A group of males ran towards the vesta, their eyes filled with tears, nose snot and blood seeping from their wounds; all of them were infected and would never be cured at this rate.

Woosh!

The young men cried out in horror, unable to move as she approached them, whispering into their ears like a malevolent breeze.

"Master..." Laura's words came out as whispers, her voice low and husky, "Your little pet is growing up fast! The many scars and cuts are fading from her skin, too! Oh my god--she has such a sexy figure now!"

"If Master allows me--I shall help you!" And then, without warning, she pulled out a knife, stabbing it deep into the first man'sman's abdomen, who was a few steps ahead of the other males, leaving him in shock, gasping and shaking.

Like a gust of sharp wind, Maria's body vanished, darting forward as she danced between the other vetsa, sometimes slapping their rears to make them more alert or giving them a kick to the shin when she felt they were completely slacking.

With a light leap, she began spinning through the air, her body grasping two daggers tightly before gliding along like cutting a cake and opening a newly delivered box. Her body and hands rushed past the group of males, her daggers and claws slicing through their flesh and bone like melted butter, causing blood and mush to spurt from the wounds along their necks and crotches as she stood a few metres in the distance, licking her blood-red lips.

"B-but Master... Isn't here...."

Maria didn't care; she continued moving around the area, watching everything unfold.

And now, the last survivors were running away from the undead monsters that moved in silence, ripping apart anything they touched with bare hands and feet.

Laura noticed one of the boys crying as he fled, his chest covered in dark red liquid. He looked at her with desperate eyes, pleading for someone to save him, but Laura couldn't do that; she needed to remain calm, cool and collected. After all, she was the leader of this band of misfits!

She grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and lifted him off the ground, holding him high enough to see her face clearly, ignoring how weak and pathetic he was.

"You're going somewhere else tonight--" She said in a cold tone, "and if you want any chance to live, tell me why should we spare you?"

"...Y-you don't have to kill us, please!" His cries fell on deaf ears as she threw him to the side, sending him tumbling across the grass and dirt, rolling several times until he stopped abruptly and landed with a thud.

He gasped for breath, coughing up bloody phlegm; he stared at the sky above, not knowing whether to look at her or the heavens.

"What did I say? Tell me!" She shouted at him, grabbing his chin and forcing him to stare directly at her, her fingers digging painfully into his cheeks.

"--Please... Save me!"

His eyes widened in terror and surprise as she brought her hand down upon him, slamming his forehead against the earth with a dull sound, causing him to collapse onto the floor unconscious.

But she ignored his pleas.

"Laura... aren't you supposed to save them when they beg...?" Samantha crept up from behind her, looking at the poor male who began to spasm, her short spear and shield shimmering as she continued to watch the zombie Ghast who stood in the distance, not leaving a certain point from the village gate and watched the female vesta with a strange sense of confusion, some tilting their heads and watching as the 25+ vesta all stood ready for battle.

Claire, on the other hand, was on the opposite side; when the chaos erupted, she split up with Laura, so now she was on the left side of the entrance, Laura on the right, and behind her was the coward who always claimed to be so tough, now looking fearful but still acting resolute with his three harem members.

'This loser is so pathetic; where is his "I am the protagonist" aura now? Shouldn't he show his great power, dash into the battlefield, and spur on the humans that now stand frozen in terror?' just behind Claire and Laura's groups in shambles. 'How long will it take for these idiots to realize they need to flee?! This isn't a game!'

"Well... since he's broken.... a shame." Laura tossed the boy into the church grounds, his body arcing through the air as the 10 ravenous zombies lunged towards him faster than most humans could see.

With a loud crackle and pop, they exploded into pieces like a grenade exploding, revealing bits of meat and organs under the thick layer of dust that formed, leaving nothing behind except a pile of scattered bones and guts.

They didn't bother picking up the parts, either. Instead, they continued to walk around in circles, sniffing at the ground and moaning as they walked closer to Laura and her allies, whose eyes grew wider with every passing second.

They knew what was coming next; it wasn't a matter of if but when.

'Master might leave the village... even he couldn't take these on at once...' Laura thought as she edged forward, anxious about these zombies.

Her companions followed suit, but none dared speak out. There was no time for them to panic, nor was their room to think rationally. All they cared about was that they weren't caught alone and wouldn't allow anyone to die today. Not even the cowardly ones.

"Should we throw this trash as bait, then attack them while busy, Teacher?" The blue-haired vesta, her long blue claws and pretty eyes blinking like a cute girl, despite her horrific and heartless suggestion, this girl now getting pleasure from killing and maiming her enemies, all to please her lord, her saviour.

Like the red vesta, she too began to worship Alex; the two most violent girls getting revenge seemed to have changed the most when reborn, even enough to shock the girls at first. Now a few hours had passed, though, they didn't seem to mind that much, instead wanting to earn more and more praise from Alex.

"Ah.... he's going to die....!" A male's voice sounded as he crouched on the ground, missing half of his right leg but watching the village's direction with a mystified and enchanted look.historical

"She's so beautiful..." Another male spoke, his eyes fixated on a woman wearing a fluffy black dress, her arm wrapped around the male, who moved closer, not even seeming to consider those ten monsters, as the male's hand carried a black blade, its beautiful sheath sliding off before vanishing into the air, a blade with strange runes and a verse written along the black-steel blade.

The moment he appeared...

ALL vesta stood to attention like they were suddenly highly trained warriors, each ready to strike into action at once; the only ones unaffected were Maria, Mildred and Laura, who were left to their own devices or seemed to have too strong of willpower, while Samantha joined the vesta with close combat weapons.

Suddenly an attractive voice sounded from a distance; it caught the attention of the human survivors, the fake protagonist, his vesta and the zombie Ghast.

"Girls, I order you to crush these insects. The ones who perform best will be rewarded with deep affection."

The moment Alex spoke, it was not the vesta outside that moved fastest, but Stella...

Who darted out and began to scream and shout as she moved to attack the ghast alone; a few moments later, Mildred and Laura snapped out of their trance and began their attack.

"Girls, shoot those bastards down! Master is watching; show him your efforts!" Mildred began to fill the sky with arrows, a strange smile on her face as she noticed Alex looking at her intently, spurring her on as she fought vigorously.

"Come on bitches; those archers will steal our master's love!" Laura said with a strange voice, her face a little twisted as they began to charge forward; it a shame Maria was already a few centimetres from one of the zombie ghasts, her claws piercing its throat as they extended from short nails to long 25cm blades, causing the Ghast to shudder and try to resist before she tore off its head completely.

In response, two more Ghast spawned from the ground; it seemed these guardians didn't play fair...

Alex stood at the gate, a little lonely as his sword was ready to devour blood, only for all these cute women to fight for him, all boosted by his ghoul lord skills and talent.

"Well... at least I can feast my eyes on their nice bodies...."
