--- When Primis cut the telepathic connection and Sheng Ming joined Ais ---
Sheng Ming: This is not going to be easy.
By now, Sheng Ming had appeared by Ais side. Before Ais could say anything, the entire house exploded.
BOOM!!!!!!
Countless black tendrils like that of worms rose high in the sky and joined together to take some kind of shape. These snakes were being extracted out from the bodies of zombies around. The ground on which they were standing broke. Sheng Ming and Ais hurriedly jumped back and stood on the safe ground.
Both had serious expressions. They could clearly feel the threat from the thing.
Ais: Sister Sheng Ming, what are these things?
Sheng Ming: These worms are the things which were/are inside these huma----
Ais: Zombies.
Sheng Ming: Huh?
Ais: Lord, call them zombies.
Sheng Ming: Ohh.
Ais: According to him, Zombies are the dead bodies that have been brought back to life by magic.
Sheng Ming: I see. However, looks like Husband just wanted to give you gist of it that's why he didn't give proper explanation.
Ais: Proper explanation?
Sheng Ming: Mn. You see the dead bodies brought back to life using 'magic' are not called zombies. They are called Undead.
Ais: Undead?
Sheng Ming: Yes. And the dead bodies brought back to life using 'science" are called zombies.
Ais: Science?
Sheng Ming: Um. Science is different than magic. In science, you learn many things about the human body. Like DNA, Blood group, microorganisms, and so on. I am sure you have never heard of such thing before.
Ais: Yes, I never.
Sheng Ming: That's why I said Husband didn't give you proper explanation.
Ais: Ok.
Sheng Ming: Anyway, you will know more about it in the future. Currently, let's take care of our enemy.
Ais: Mn.
Once Ais nodded, Sheng Ming moved her hand and took out something from the space. Since she had some knowledge of space, she can make her own space to keep her things.
B-DUMP!!!
B-DUMP!!!
B-DUMP!!!
B-DUMP!!!
...
…
Ais widened her eyes slightly when she saw a blood-red orb that was beating like a heart in Sheng Ming's hand. The same worms were coiling around it alive.
Ais: This is...…
Sheng Ming: It's the heart of Village head.
Ais: Heart of Village Head. So, Sister Sheng Ming took care of him before coming here.
Sheng Ming: Um. It was time consuming, but I finally succeed in killing him.
Ais: Oh.
FWOOSH!!!
At this time, one of the huge worms charged at them. Ais gathered her magic in her azure Lambent-Light and was about to attack when Sheng Ming stopped her.
Sheng Ming: No need, little sister.
Ais: Huh?
Ais stopped and showed a confused expression. On the other hand, Sheng Ming just simply threw the heart which was in her hand towards the upcoming worm.
FWOOSH!!!
That worm grabbed that heart and returned to the source.
Ais: Huh? It was after the heart. Why? Oh, now that I think about it, Lord said Elvira could only be killed once she will complete the final stage. Could this be related to the heart just now?
Sheng Ming: Elvira?
Ais: She is also a zombie, I suppose. And she is the one who started this.
Sheng Ming: I see. Well, Husband is right that we can only killed Elvira once she is done with this.
Ais: Why?
Sheng Ming: You see, Little Sister. There is only one worm. Which you can call Queen. While the other worms are something she gave birth too. These worms don't have their own conscience or something. They will only do what the Queen orders them too.
Ais remained silent and kept on listening seriously.
Sheng Ming: These worms enter inside living organisms, eat all their nutrients, and control their brain. Like parasites of some sort. And because they have control of their brain, they can easily remove the limit that brain placed on one's body. That's why Zombies are this strong.
Ais: Since all these worms are leaving the body of their hosts, did this mean they received that order from their Queen itself?
Sheng Ming: Exactly.
Ais: I see.
Saying this, Ais turned towards the destroyed house and looked at the creature that was being born.
Ais: So, Elvira is the Queen. Huh. Then why is she weaker than her son?
Sheng Ming: Just because she is the Queen, it doesn't mean she has to be stronger Little Sister.
Ais: Is that so?
Sheng Ming: Um. Anyway, let's return to what the Lord was saying.
Ais: Ok.
Sheng Ming: You see since the Queen has control over all the other worms, once you kill it, it won't die. Instead, it will just transfer her mind to another worm and will keep on living.
Ais: Wha---- Sister Sheng Ming are you saying that unless we will destroy all the worms, Queen worm will keep on living.
Sheng Ming: Yes.
Ais: ..................…So, that's why Lord said not to stop her.
Sheng Ming: Currently all the worms on this island are rushing towards the Queen worm. She wants to merge them with herself and increase her strength.
Ais: And since all the worms will be here, we can kill all of them along with the Queen worm.
Sheng Ming: Yes.
Ais: I see.
Saying this, Ais turned to look at the creature again. The number of worms that were coming from the forest had decreased a lot. It won't be long before Elvira will be done. While Ais was looking at it, Sheng Ming turned her attention to Ais's left.
Sheng Ming: Why don't you show yourself?
Ais: Huh?
Sheng Ming: If you think you can hide from me then you are wrong. I can clearly see you.
Ais: Ohh.
Ais understood what Sheng Ming meant. She looked at her left and spoke.
Ais: Misdreavus, show yourself.
A moment later, dark bluish-green ghost pokémon showed itself.
Sheng Ming: Hmm. So, this is your tamed Pokémon, Little Sister.
Ais: Yes.
Sheng Ming: I see.
Said Sheng Ming as the information of Misdreavus appeared in her mind.

Sheng Ming: Level 2. Huh. And it looks like she became stronger some time ago.
Ais: Yes. I won't be surprised if she will reach max Level 2 or Level 3 by the time we will be done and leave this island.
Sheng Ming: I agree.
Saying this, Sheng Ming showed a gentle smile to Misdreavus and extended her hand towards her. On the other hand, Misdreavus glanced at Ais. Seeing that Ais was not saying anything, Misdreavus approached Sheng Ming cautiously.
When she was touched Sheng Ming hand, Sheng Ming started to caress her head gently. After only a few seconds, Misdreavus got rid of all her wariness and started enjoying it. She didn't know why but she felt almost as comfortable with Sheng Ming as she felt with her new trainer.
Misdreavus: Mis~~
Sheng Ming and Ais both smiled witnessing this. It would have been a very beautiful, picturesque scene showing the bond between pokémon and humans if only there was not blood river, piles of corpses, and disgusting black worms around them.
Ais: Sister Sheng Ming, can you see the Status of Misdreavus in detail?
Sheng Ming: In detail? Do you mean her moves and other stuff?
Ais: Yes.
Sheng Ming: Then I am sorry, I can't.
Ais: Is that so.
Sheng Ming: Looks like only their tame---- I mean trainer could see it.
Ais: Well, I am sure Lord could see it too.
Sheng Ming: Well, that's Husband after all. I am sure even the Eldest Sister could also see it too. Well, anyway, I will ask Husband to help us see the details later.
Ais: Yes. Currently, we have our problem to handle.
Saying this they both turned towards the house. By now all the worms around the island had joined and took the shape of a huge creature. The creature didn't have any mouth or something. It was just worms with countless red orbs inside it. From the crimson glow and beating you can tell that those things were hearts.
Elvira: AIS WALLESTEINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Ais frowned hearing Elvira shout. Misdreavus became scared and hurriedly hid herself again.
BOOM!!!!
BOOM!!!!
BOOM!!!!
BOOM!!!!
The ground trembled as a huge 100 meters high creature approached Ais and Sheng Ming step-by-step.
Elvira: I NEVER THOUGHT IN THIS WORLD THERE IS SOMEONE A HUMAN YOU CAN ALMOST KILL SOMEONE AS HIGH RACE AS ME. BUT NOW THAT I HAVE MET YOU, I MUST CHANGE MY THOUGHTS. I WILL KILL YOU AND TAKE THAT BODY OF YOURS. COME AND ACCEPT YOUR DEATH. SWORD PRINCESS, AIS WALLENSTIEN.
