Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up
Episode 7: He didn't come after me.
"" "Hah, hah, hah..." "
I wonder how long I've been running.
Even the lightest and most able-bodied Dill is breathing roughly.
Even I lacked endurance, my heart was about to pop out.
We finally stopped running and looked back afraid.
I can see the walls of a city that has perished far away.
From there we kept running without stopping.
And then...
... no.
There was no sign of that gray-haired undead anywhere.
But I couldn't get rid of the tension right away.
Stay alert while you hold your breath for a while.
"... did you sprinkle it?
"Rather, they didn't come after me in the first place...."
Finally, we exhaled a breath of relief.
Forgotten fatigue pushes me forward, and I inadvertently crouch in there.
"What the hell was that?
"... it was an incredible monster. If we had been attacked from the other side, there would have been no doubt about our lives."
I remember the terrible sight I saw earlier.
It was obviously an advanced class demon that was summoned.
It's powerful enough to destroy a small city in one piece, and even our golden adventurers can't be easily crushed.
It was killed instantly by that undead.
"In any case, why did they miss us? Well, he's lucky to be unhappy...."
"... maybe"
The victorious Hannah looked so horrible, she said with a blue face.
"I didn't miss it... it doesn't make sense to run away in the first place... in fact, we could always be killed..."
"" Nh... ""
We couldn't refute Hannah's guess and shook our bodies.
As silence and heavy air dominate the area, I try to pretend to be calm.
"Anyway, I'll be right back in town. I need to report this to the guild."
"That's good... And if you're in the city... he can't even make it taste good..."
We agreed, we whipped the tired body and ran again.
Costal, the city closest to the demon.
Originally, the village was built by adventurers exploring the magic as its base.
That's why there's a lord ruling the city, but it's almost there.
It was the Adventurers Guild that really held power over the city.
Of course, we were based in this city when we were exploring the demons.
After that, we were able to finally return to the city on the run, and soon after a break, we rushed into the Adventurer Guild.
"Mr. Alec? Well, what's the matter...?
A receptionist surprised at what happened to us who were breathing roughly and sweating.
"Hahahaha... I talked to the Guild Leader... I need to tell him something as soon as possible..."
I'll tell her to call the Guild Leader right away.
"Oh, I was afraid... so here we are..."
She jumped out of the window, as if it wasn't just the Golden Adventurer's feathers.
It wasn't the Guild Leader's Office that took him there, it was some meeting room.
"We're having a meeting right now...."
"Thank you."
Thanks to the receptionist, I opened the door.
It is not a case of reluctance because it is an emergency.
"Alliance Leader!
All of a sudden, we jumped into the conference room, and the attention of all those who were in it came at us.
On the other hand, I was surprised at the appearance.
All the adventurers in the room were gold grade and above.
"What is this member...? Are you going to breathe in the war...?
"That's a lot of faces....."
Dill and Hannah came in after me.
Sure enough Gold Adventurers will be able to take down as much of the surrounding territory as possible.
Even so, it's convenient.
I can tell the city's core adventurers about the undead we encountered at once.
But as I tried to open my mouth, the giant in the back of the room shouted first.
"Oh, Alec. You're just in time!
Barda is the guild leader of this city, as we all know.
He is over sixty years old and his gray hair is becoming noticeable, but when he looks at his body, he still doesn't seem to fade.
The legend remains that his body is bigger than me and Guy, and that his transcendent powers defeated the Titans in a power match.
A substantial top of the city, he is also a principal adventurer.
But even now that I retired from active service and became the leader of the guild, I don't have any teeth for those active adventurers.
He was a generous man, usually a good father, but since he turned into a mad warrior who could not be handled if he was angry, he had a nickname for Barbada the Leopard.
"Actually, as you can see, I've been summoning an adventurer of gold grade and above. I want you to join me."
"Emergency call?
For a moment I thought it was about that undead, but apparently it was something else.
"The Taras Road, designated a catastrophic class, came out of the demon."
"Taras, you want to scroad...?
Talask resembles a tortoise, but it is a monster that is considered a subspecies of dragons.
The movement is very slow, but it has overwhelming defense, protected by a hard armor.
Named the king of Talask is the monster found in this demon.
Taras scrolls are as huge as hundreds of meters, whereas regular Taras scrolls are at most about five or six meters in size.
It weighs so much that the ground sinks for a few meters on foot.
If such a monster attacked us, any walls would be crushed.
"Worst of all, there's this city on his path. If it stays this way, Kostahl will be badly damaged."
Of course, the damage is likely to go beyond that.
If Talask does not stop moving across the country, several villages and cities will be destroyed in the process.
It's a disaster.
That's why they asked the City Adventurers Guild directly from the country.
They want us to attack Taras Crawl, turn his path into a force and drive him away to the demon.
It is not a request for an assassination because it is unrealistic in the first place.
It will suffice if you return to the demon.
Incidentally, Taras Road travels at speeds of two to three kilometers per hour.
It's just like a turtle, so it's not hard to escape.
"Of course, I'll give you the right reward. I'm sorry I just got back, but I need your help."
"Okay, okay."
After I nodded,
"But there's one thing I've got to tell you."
"Report?"
And finally, I was able to tell you about the terrible encounter I had with that undead.
"You guys have no hands or feet, gray-haired undead....?
"Oh, that's definitely an incredible monster. We could only escape... no, it's a miracle that we escaped..."
"That's what you guys call a monster...."
Even so, our party is quite recognized as an adventurer.
The other adventurers, including Barda, seemed a little upset that there were monsters like us who ran for our lives.
"Perhaps all of us here in bundles are no match for this. If we succeed, we may be more threatened than Talas Scrawl."
And then.
Suddenly, I felt uncomfortable in my ankle and dropped my gaze. Something like a rope was intertwined.
"--What?...... uhh!?
The next moment I was pulled by something like that rope, I was upside down fishing.
"Everyone here in a bundle is invincible?
What I thought was a rope was a whip.
And it was held by a woman.
"Please don't put me together with a fish like you.
"Estina....!
It was Estina, the only platinum-grade adventurer among them, who lifted one of my legs with my favorite whip.
