Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

248 Investigation (11)



The third village turned out to be the same as the other three, but this had given me a good idea of how many undead there were in this horde.

Adding the three villages together, with around two hundred corpses taken from each…there should be around six to seven hundred undead created.

Then adding in the undead that they could create from the corpses of monsters and beasts…that meant that there should be around a thousand or so undead like I had already guessed.

This was without a doubt a daunting number since even one undead was hard to deal with, even for the trained guards of the city.

This was a number that even outnumbered the number of guards that were in the city.

So there was no doubt that it would be a hard fight for them if they had to fight them.

Since we had already finished going through all of the villages, the only thing left for us to do was check out the place where the undead were gathered.

If we could find any advantages there, it would be much easier for us to take care of the undead horde than just facing them head on.

When I said this, both Ron and Ronnie revealed firm looks on their faces.

It was as if they had come to some kind of decision, but that made me feel very anxious…since it was clear that the two of them weren't able to hold themselves back.

Instead of going in with them like this, it was better for us to leave them here…

But there was no guarantee that they wouldn't follow us.

So I had to put my foot down.

I said to Ronnie, "You will restrain yourself and not cause any trouble, do you understand? You will listen to me and you will not act rashly, do you understand?"

Both Ronnie and Ron were taken aback when they saw this sudden change from me.

They never expected such fierce words and such a fierce tone to come from me, so they were completely caught off guard by this.

In the end, I said, "If you can't agree to this, then I'm turning back right now. I will not risk my life just because you can't hold yourself back."

When they heard this, both of them revealed worried looks.

That was because they had come to understand the special abilities that I had. They understood that I was someone who was better at handling this than them and if I left, they wouldn't be able to do a thing.

So they needed me to come with them, or else it would all be a waste of time.

So after a while, Ronnie lowered her head and said, "I will listen to you."

But this just annoyed me more since it was clear that she hadn't fully committed my words to her heart.

I shook my head and said, "We're heading back then."

Ronnie looked up in a panic and looked at Ron for help, but he wasn't able to do a thing since he was also as panicked as her.

Finally, Ronnie said in a serious voice, "I will listen to you and will not let my emotions get the better of me."

I didn't respond right away, but rather looked at her and said, "This is the final and most dangerous place. If you make a single mistake, we will be surrounded by undead and attacked by demons. I hope that you will keep this in mind and understand just how dangerous this is."

Without giving her a chance to say anything, I got in our carriage and headed off towards the river.

Ronnie and Ron just stood there in silence with heavy looks on their faces for a bit before getting in their carriage to follow us.

We made our way back to the river quite quickly and we followed it even further down.

But since these three villages were in the range of activity for whoever was behind this, it was clear that the gathering area of the undead wasn't that far away.

In fact, it was a mountain that was just a few kilometers further downriver.

As for how I knew it was this mountain, it was because of the river itself.

Once we moved past this mountain, the infestation further downriver wasn't as widespread. So it was clear that this was the source of the disease and it was flowing downriver from there.

After heading back to the mountain, we started looking for tracks that would show us where they were hiding.

Shaka was the one that was the best at this and it took him no time for him to find certain tracks.

These weren't tracks of any living being.

Rather, these were the tracks that were left by something being dragged across the ground.

Judging by how deep the marks left were, it was clear that something quite heavy was dragged here. For example, several corpses that would be used to create undead with?

It seemed that they were in the right place, so now that all was left was to find the place where the undead were hiding.

That was also done by Shaka.

With these tracks, he was able to easily find a cave on the side of the mountain. The tracks that seemed like something was being dragged here led to this place.

As we stood at the entrance of the cave, we had to decide what to do next.

I immediately said, "I'll go in alone and see what I can find."

After I said this, both Ron and Ronnie rejected this proposal.

Instead of trying to convince them with words, I knew that it was easier to convince them with action.

So without hesitation, I pulled out the Detection Ward and put it on my collar.

As soon as I did, both of them immediately fell silent.

Then they started looking around as if trying to find where I had gone.

I just stood there for a bit before taking the Detection Ward off.

At this, both of them revealed understanding and embarrassed looks.
