Usman' Luminous?'
Luminous ' It's the entity. It's like the show you put today. That's why test is delayed. Yes, exp rate is 0 against the surrounding Undeads. So, you don't level up.'
Usman ' Haah~ I really hate the entity.'
Firuza, who had killed Lana. She looked behind and saw Usman's state.
Firuza ' I should heal him.'
She ran towards him and her family too.
Feya" Is it over?" She asked her.
Firuza " Yes!" She said victoriously.
Usman " ....But we still..... have Undeads." I said trying to stand up.
Peppi" You should rest! You are hurt!" She said holding my arm with care?
Firuza" Peppi's right! Let me heal you." She said looking at her sister.
Usman" Thanks.." I said feeling being healed.
Feya" I think, we should move to my tavern now. We can tell the public after solving the army."
Usman" That will be wise." I accepted her idea.
Firuza" But the Undeads!"
Usman " They will remain in their position according to their order." I said watching the map.
Peppi" Won't they move like other Undeads?" She asked.
Luminous ' Tell them, only if they are not destroyed in two days.'
Usman " They will after two days." I give the indication.
Firuza" So, we have to destroy them tomorrow." She said understanding.
Usman" Yes."
After that, we went to Feya's tavern. After dinner, I slept in my room.

Peppi P.O.V.
My and mine family had a simple life. My dad died when I was young. My mother and sister used to work together in our tavern. When my sister acknowledged as a healer, I thought our time was changing. Then, my sister married to our noble heir. It was like a dream came true. I thought even I had a chance with my sister's brother in law. But my sister's sister in law turned out to be a necromancer who killed her husband and in laws and my dreams. When I went against her, I got a scar on my face.
My sister got weakened and exiled. Now we were under the dictatorship of a necromancer who created an undead army. But after a month, my sister arrived with a stranger. He was a southern mercenary, who was helping my sister against that BITCH! At first, I didn't trust him. But when he saved me and my mother, I didn't know but something happened. When he carried us, my heart started beating rapidly. Then, how he was fighting against the bitch.
Why did he became a mercenary? He was like a hero? No, he was a hero. Only a hero could have such beautiful shield. He even pushed past his limits. And when I thought, we were losing again. He changed the tides in a single move. As for final strike, he let sister did that. Even when he was exhausted, he was still eager to fight. When we were at our tavern.
Firuza " Peppi, what's going on?" She asked me.
Peppi" What do you mean?" I asked.
Feya " She's talking about your feelings related to the boy?" Mother clarified.
Peppi" So, what can't I like....or love someone?!" I said.
Feya" You can but I want to know about him first." She replied.
Peppi" What's to know about? He is a hero in the body of a mercenary." I said happily.
Firuza" How about the girl he confessed!" She startled me.
Peppi" Don't tell me, it's you?! " I inquired.
Firuza" What?! He is younger than me and he confessed to Xiona Mahogany, who's now a baronet!" She explained.
Feya" I see. Then, we have to be clear if she's ok with a concubine." She said thinking.
Peppi" WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY A CONCUBINE?!! I am going to marry him as a wife!" I declared.
Firuza" You should watch your temper." She advised me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next morning, when I checked the map. I saw the rebellion army, reaching here.
Usman ' Now, it will be quicker.'
Luminous ' They are still lower level.'
Usman' I know. Huh, Xiona is here too.'
I went out after breakfast.
Usman" I am going out to destroy them." I said moving towards the door.
Firuza" I will come too." She said standing up.
Usman" No, they are many. You will be overwhelmed." I said shaking my head.
I dashed out and jumped on roofs in a zig zag pattern. I reached near the gate on house roof and jumped on the wall. Two shadows came out to strike but I slashed them. I refilled their mp. Now, I could see the approaching army. I took out the Caledborg 2 projection, I had filled with mp this morning from inventory. I knocked it.
Usman" Caledborg 2!" I said releasing the arrow.
It flew like a meteor and impacted like a nuke when it landed on the Undeads. Then, I started shooting arrows on the Undeads. They fell like shooting stars which exploded on contact. I took my awakened swords and dashed into the Undeads. I started slashing them in zig zag pattern.

Xiona P.O.V.
I was both learning to be a noble and becoming strong. When, I heard about northern rebellion army. I joined them. Because through this, I would meet Usman again. We were marching towards Umbar White when a white blinding light erupted from it's front wall and impacted the Undeads like a falling meteor. Then, my favourite red streaks erupted which fell like stars and decimated the Undeads. Seeing this, I had a big smile on my face.
Xiona " It's him! He must have won! That's why he's here!"
Then, I saw that blue fire moving towards the Undeads in a zig zag pattern and destroying them. After that I dashed towards him with everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing this, the army advanced rapidly and started killing the Undeads. During my advance, I helped many soldiers in critical condition. I also projected my swords 3 more times.
I also saw Xiona fighting with them. She was handling herself well. But when she was becoming overwhelmed. I dashed towards her and slashed the zombies.
Usman " Be careful, my lady. They might be weak. But they are more in numbers." I said slashing them, standing behind her back.
Xiona " I will be more careful now." She said giving me lovely smile.
I smiled back at her and keep killing them. Near noon, we were able to finish them completely.
