Suddenly, multiple sharp weapons, from axes, swords, arrows, lances, and daggers, flew around the sky and the two royal zombies.
Zombie Queen and Baby Zombie Princess were trapped.
In an instant, the elemental weapons simultaneously targeted Baby Zombie Princess.
Zombie Queen hugged Baby Zombie Princess tightly and protected her.
The elemental weapons struck and cut Zombie Queen as they flew around.
Zombie Queen gritted her teeth.
After they finished, the weapons returned to the sky.
As her dress was torn and bloody, Zombie Queen was furious. She looked around to identify the attacker.
Old Man Blacksmith stood on a nearby hill with the weapons floating around him, and she looked at him. He held a glowing elemental sword. He commented that her reflexes were good.
Now, Zombie Queen glared at him and clenched her teeth. She finally understood why there was a hard time conquering the forest.
Old Man Blacksmith was shocked when he saw Zombie Queen's face. He muttered her old human name, Julia.
Zombie Queen remarked that it was nice to be recognized by one of the Legendary War Heroes. She implied that she was no longer the same Julia.
Old Man Blacksmith commented that the Striboran War for Unification was long ago. Still shocked, he asked how she lived.
Zombie Queen chuckled and answered that she was revived by the love of her life.
Old Man Blacksmith sternly asked what she had done with him.
Zombie Queen revealed that he was now the king of the zombies, meaning she was the queen.
Old Man Blacksmith questioned her where he was.
Zombie Queen smirked. She declared that she would not say. She declared that she was going to kill Old Man Blacksmith.
Suddenly, the weapons surrounding Old Man Blacksmith began to shake.
Old Man Blacksmith was struggling to hold them. It felt like an invisible force was pulling the weapons away.
Zombie Queen grinned and remarked that it was nice seeing him again. She offered that he should join them, and she would let The Sacred Forest go. She pointed to the elemental weapons and added that their dream had yet to be realized.
Old Man Blacksmith denied the request. He asserted that the forest was sacred, and that he would not allow her to take it. In addition, he did not believe that the king of the zombies would simply start a war. He interrogated for their motives.
Zombie Queen hesitated to answer.
Old Man Blacksmith sent the weapons flying at her.
Baby Zombie Princess was terrified.
Zombie Queen glared. She held her child and deflected the weapons with her dress. She proclaimed that they wanted a world of zombies where they could live happily together and forever. She laughed that it meant human extinction. It was simple yet gruesome.
Old Man Blacksmith called her motives childlike, and he began to focus. He uttered that he would rather end the war by killing her now.
The elemental weapons flew across the sky.
Old Man Blacksmith muttered that he had failed the couple and apologized. Unfortunately for them, he would not allow the zombies to conquer the world.
Just then, a few of the elemental weapons had hit Baby Zombie Princess.
As she grew nervous, Zombie Queen ordered the remaining zombies in the forest to attack Old Man Blacksmith.
All the zombies rushed up the hill towards Old Man Blacksmith.
Old Man Blacksmith had a determined face and faced the zombies.
As the zombies approached him, the elemental weapons that were sent at Zombie Queen returned to Old Man Blacksmith. As the zombies charged, the weapons pierced them.
Old Man Blacksmith was not expecting the number of zombies to be high, and he realized that it would be a challenge to kill them all.
As Old Man Blacksmith fought the zombies, Zombie Queen retreated. After she made it out of the forest, she ordered her army of zombies to not enter the dangerous forest.
After he slayed the last zombie, Old Man Blacksmith panted and realized that he would have lost against Zombie Queen.
The elemental weapons fell to the ground.
Old Man Blacksmith rested by a tree and remarked that his age was getting to him. He was exhausted. He was relieved that his legendary status saved the forest from any further harm.
Then, Old Man Blacksmith headed towards the brothers. As he arrived at where the brothers were sent flying, he saw a military vehicle drive off with them. He ran after it and pleaded for them to wait.
After a while, he stopped and realized that he could not help the brothers anymore. Out of his reach, he groaned in frustration.
After a few hours, the military vehicle drove into a military base.
The three brothers were now in the outside world.
The three brothers have finally left The Sacred Forest but what awaited them outside? What was the outside world like? How would the military treat the three brothers? What was the relationship between the rulers of the zombies and Old Man Blacksmith? Who was Zombie Queen?
