Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up
Episode 5: There was no mercy
My name is Alec.
Gold-grade adventurer.
He became an adventurer in the seventeenth year, and was already twenty-five years old.
I turned 42 this year, but I still have no desire to retire.
I feel that my body is more energetic than when I was younger, and that my strength and skills are still growing.
Above all, I like the party now.
... but they're just strange people.
"Even these cities will one day perish... I made it up, but what a shame... Ah, this is insane...."
A man with more than one head is murmuring himself with bumps than I am.
It's Dill from the party bar.
I'm usually a silent and expressionless man, but when I get sentimental, I get a rap.
Originally raised as an assassin to secretly kill dignitaries and others in a certain country, he escaped the country with a twist and turn.
When I was alive as a new adventurer, I ran into myself.
About ten years ago.
I've been partying like this ever since.
He was trained as an assassin and was also active as a scout, even though he had high combat abilities.
"Look... there's a body rolling around in the room thinking it was back then... Hundreds of years have passed since it was almost decomposed because of the high concentration of magic around it.... Kukuku, I definitely have to take it home...."
Please don't do that.
I managed to control it.
When I saw the body, I was excited, and it was a flaw in my balls that I tried to take back immediately.
Incidentally, at present, our party came to the "Emarina Great Wilderness", which is also known as one of the world's leading demons.
A long time ago, there was said to have been a great power called the Emarina Empire, but somehow now it has become a vast wilderness.
Due to persistent anomalous weather, it is not a place where people can live today.
And even though many vicious monsters live in a dangerous area, there are precious legacies sleeping, and high-ranking adventurers like us were investigating.
Among other things, what we're exploring now is where it was presumed to have been a big city at the time.
Many of the buildings are weathered and run-down, but I can still tell you how prosperous they used to be.
"Strangely enough, most of the causes of death appear to be burning and freezing. They all died in a short time, apparently in some kind of disaster."
"How does burning and freezing happen at the same time?
Yes, my red dot and Hannah, the youngest at the party, bite me.
I'm still nineteen years old.
Even so, it is the lowest silver grade in the party, but its strength is no less than that of gold already.
In fact, she is the daughter of a swordsman and a wizard who used to party with me.
They were both amazing adventurers, but retired on the occasion of their marriage.
And Hannah was born.
It seems that she inherited her parents' talents and that she can use both swords and magic, the so-called magical swordsmen.
From a young age, I wanted to be an adventurer in admiration of my parents, but when I tried to become an adventurer, I got fierce opposition from my parents, so I fought and jumped out of the house.
I don't know. Think a little on your own. "
"Please don't tell me I'm not thinking about anything.
There's a lot going on, and somehow you're at my party now.
She was cute when she was a little girl, but now she's in a state of total rebellion.
I'm supposed to be quite senior, but I don't feel like I'm being admired at all.
"--Nanwu"
A bald-headed elderly man puts his hands together in front of his face and offers a mysterious prayer.
A warrior of comparable stature to me, he said Guy.
Guy was originally a clergyman in the eastern country.
That's why I'm good at healing magic, but I'm also good at proximity fights using sticks at the same time, so I can ripen both attacks and aids.
I met him a few years ago and have been on an adventure with him ever since.
Something happened in the past and they broke down the clergy.
So he went west and started an adventurer.
"Many onagos lost their lives as virgins. What a waste."
... I'm guessing that perhaps the favoritism has broken through the door.
You look serious, but you're a pervert playing with a young woman if you have time.
Incidentally, it is said that the head of this chain is due to the discipline of the eastern clergy, and it is not actually bald, but shaving.
It is only her claim.
"Nh... something's approaching... Probably a monster...."
At that time, Dill spoke a small word of warning, and we immediately set ourselves up for battle.
"Big Boar."
A giant pig monster appeared.
A fierce thrust with sharp teeth is a dangerous monster, but even if you are careful, it is not that difficult to deal with.
However, since this demon possesses higher abilities and special abilities than ordinary individuals, it needs attention around it.
Mutations can occur in places with high magic concentrations.
When I look at the individual in front of me, I also feel that my hair is more red than normal big bore.
Buffoo!
Big Boar snorted his nose like he was excited, and instead of greeting, he burst in.
We aggressively scatter from side to side, avoiding it.
"Oops!
"Don't eat me! Fire javelin!"
Then the rubble hit Big Bore's ass with a head-to-head collision.
Charge and attack.
This is the basic way to fight the Big Bore.
Without my instruction, my friends understood and ensured that the durable Big Bore was damaged.
They are usually hard to handle, but they are very reliable when it comes to fighting.
Incidentally, our Bertie formation is dominated by me and Guy as the front line, and Hannah, who is capable of magical ranged attacks, as the back line.
And Dill was a guerrilla, running away from the monster's perception, making ad hoc moves depending on the situation.
Watching out for other monsters approaching is also his important role.
Such a dill suddenly shouted with a trembling voice.
"Nh, something's approaching...! What are these incredible signs...?!
It is unusual for that dill to be so cowardly.
Besides, as a wild conjecture, the big bore suddenly stopped moving and began to burst his nose in fear of something.
Apparently a truly incredible presence is approaching us.
I mean, even I'm supposed to be dull to this feeling.
Somehow my body began to tremble on its own.
Eventually, he appeared.
"Humans...?
It certainly looked like a human youth.
Except for gray hair, red eyes, and too worn out clothes, he is a young person around twenty years old who is everywhere.
But there are some incredible signs coming out of his body.
When I was exposed to it, sweat erupted from the sweat glands inside my body, and my teeth began to rattle.
Absolute Strong.
Different personality exists.
If you fight, you die.
I understood with intuition.
I'm running into the biggest pinch of Adventurer's life right now.
"Bhuhuhuh!?
The Big Boar ran away at great speed.
I would have been glad if you had followed me, but the gray-haired young man couldn't move with his blinking eyes.
Apparently, the purpose is ours.
No, maybe you'll miss it just like Big Boar....?
At that time.
The young man's lips move slightly.
……
Did you just say something?
I didn't hear anything.
"(Hey, you know what I said?
I saw Dill and sued him with my eyes.
He notices it and mutters little by little.
"I just didn't know..."
Here?
... kill?
Apparently there is no mercy.
