Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Finally Moving onto the Future

Subaru explained to everyone the supposed rumors of undead lurking somewhere outside of town. Of course these rumors were made up as no one knew what was going to happen except for Subaru.

Everyone he needed was gathered together, Rudy's party, Yunyun and his party were all together. They got to know one another besides Yunyun and Megumin who were already acquainted.

After they all understood each other's strengths and weaknesses, Subaru began to explain his plan to everyone.

"Everyone in my party will be with me to lure the undead out, there will only be one exception. Megumin, you will stay in the back, when I give the signal you will launch the largest explosion you can into the center of the undead. The same applies to you Yunyun. If Megumin's explosion doesn't do enough damage to wipe out a majority of the undead, then you will fire off another shot after hers. After that Rudy's party will help kill off the remaining undead with us. Of course I don't know if they are even out there but we should be prepared as we don't know their numbers. Is everyone fine with that fine."

"As long as I get to launch off my explosions I'm fine with it!"

"I will use this opportunity to challenge Megumin!"

"This will be a fun chance to level up before I get going."

"Why did my first adventure story start this way?"

"The undead will not know what to do in front of a true goddess, such as I!"

"Of course you can use me as a shield if you like."

Everyone was ready for the battle to come.

"Let's do this!"

They left the guild hall and reached the gates to the town. Everyone continued walking out while Subaru looked out to the field in front of them.

'This is it. I can not die again. This is my last shot. After this I'm finally free from being looped.'

"Subaru you okay?"

"Yeah!"

They went out to the field where Megumin and Yunyun stayed on a hill that had a great view of the whole field. Subaru's party set out in front of everyone else and so he was soon to beat his loop. He put his ear to the ground and could hear the undead underneath. He stood up jumped twice and the undead popped out of the ground.

His entire party made a run for it as they began to be chased by the undead. They seemed to be piling more towards one side then the other, specifically where Aqua was which Subaru remembered how undead were attracted to holy auras. After they were finally far away enough he gave the signal to Megumin and soon after an explosion came from behind them. Subaru turned around to see a majority of the undead on the ground, some were just completely evaporated from the blast.

Rudy's party came out from behind and so they began to kill off the remaining undead. Subaru lunged his sword at one and swung it behind him to get it unstuck from the undead he was killing. When he did this he could see Aqua running away as at least fifty undead were chasing her.

"You're doing great Aqua, just keep running!"

"Why don't you help me instead?!"

She was running as fast as she could and watched her for just a second before noticing the person in black armor in the distance. He was riding a horse and watching the battle ensue.

'Is he the one responsible for the undead?'

Subaru wasn't given a chance to think as an undead appeared from his side. They continued battling as Aqua continued to run around in a circle slowly gathering a larger undead line. Subaru began to run up to where Megumin and Yunyun since he would need to ask Yunyun to do something. He reached the hill and Megumin was turned over by Yunyun and rambling about how great her explosion was.

"Yunyun!"

"S-Subaru?"

"I need you to do something."

"W-What is it?"

"Can you launch a spell towards the long line of undead chasing Aqua? She's been gathering more and more making the fighting easier for us but I would prefer if she didn't get eaten by them."

"N-No problem!"

She began to conjure up a spell and soon after most of the undead chasing after Aqua were defeated. Aqua slowed down a bit to catch her breath as she was now not attracting many undead. Subaru came and wiped out the rest chasing after Aqua so she could finally take a break from running non-stop.

The battle continued but after only a small amount of time later the undead were completely wiped out and so Subaru had finally managed to escape his death loop. The battle had been won.
