Chapter 151 - The Serious Zombie

The automated management AI, MIRA. In its virtual core region, a pale blue light flickered irregularly.

"Unauthorized event generation... confirmed."

"NPC authority exceeded... confirmed."

"Login activity increase rate: All-time high."

"Abnormality level: MAX."

A cold voice echoed through the virtual space.

Conclusion.

"Zombie Count Robele... Get serious."

In the next moment, the horde of zombies that had been dancing Thriller like it was a ball came to a sudden halt. Then, with jerky movements, they retreated, opening a path in the center.

What appeared there was the count, clad in frills and a cape, with a rose held dramatically in his mouth. Zombie Count Robele.

"...Fufufu... I see, so this is the management's 'get serious' order, is it."

He casually tossed the rose aside and suddenly struck a sharp pose. He shrugged his shoulders, spread his arms, and puffed out his chest.

"Even as a zombie! I must be noble! Beautiful! And serious!!"

Do-o-o-o-on! An impossible effect exploded behind him. Lightning, flames, and even mysterious colorful confetti.

Mamoru couldn't help but scream.

"No, the effects are way too flashy!? Is this what the AI's 'serious' is!?"

Tiris readied her sword, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Mamoru... this is no time to laugh. That thing, it's really... strong."

Amy said in a trembling voice.

"N, no way... its aura is thicker than when it was dancing...!"

Zombie Count Robele slowly took a step forward. This time, it wasn't a dance. It was a single step, cloaked in genuine killing intent.

"The dance is over... From here on out, it's a serious zombie battle royale!!"

Mamoru clenched his fists and swallowed hard.

"...So you've come. We have no choice but to get serious too!"

Zombie Count Robele, one of the most skilled members of the Demon Lord's army, was about to attack. Would Mamoru and his friends be able to survive?
