Chapter 101: New Party Leader, Erika
Right after saying that name, Louise completely disappeared from Erika’s sight.
The woman kept trying to follow the direction of the red thread, but it split into hundreds of tiny strands scattered in all directions.
Erika stopped walking. She couldn’t chase something so uncertain. Cassandra and Anna walked toward the Thorn Family residence; Cassandra wanted to hug Leon’s body one last time.
Nathan and Bernard approached Erika. They explained that the city was no longer safe for humans. Undead monsters and stone golems had started attacking the outskirts.
Erika turned her head to the side. She saw Cassandra hugging Leon in deep suffering, her loud sobs echoing. She turned her focus back to the two men in front of her.
"Please, you carry my father’s and Leon’s bodies. I’ll carry my mother’s. We have to bury them," said Erika.
Nathan and Bernard looked at each other. They had actually planned to leave the city as soon as possible, but because the Thorn Family had helped them so much, they felt reluctant to refuse Erika’s request.
"Alright. Leave them to us."
Anna took a wooden box and placed the severed heads of the three into it. Erika carried her mother on her back, Nathan carried Leon, and Bernard carried Casper.
Once everything was ready, they left the city heading south. Compared to the eastern and western gates, the southern gate had not yet been overrun by undead monsters or golems.
Erika kept carrying Natalya’s decapitated body on her back. Blood was still dripping from her mother’s severed neck, staining Erika’s clothes.
