"Isn't that so?"
Sirin asked Himeko in slight surprise. Of course... even as she spoke, Sirin did not stop moving.
Although she could not command these zombies, they were completely insignificant before a Herrscher, so Sirin did not even spare them a glance.
Just as humans would not deliberately step on an ant, Sirin did not believe they could hurt either her or Himeko. She casually summoned a Lance of Subspace and thrust it toward a scythe-wielding zombie ahead.
And the result was indeed as expected. Faced with a spear that had shifted into the Imaginary, the scythe zombie could not block it at all... By the time the spear became tangible, it had already pierced through her body!

What a pity that she had died!
But this truly was the best ending for them. Once they became zombies... unless they could evolve into pseudo-Herrschers once more, otherwise...
