Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up
Episode 26: The Manifesto of His Own Will
Even after I lost sight of the gray-haired undead, I kept looking for him.
"Captain Remul! Am I glad you're safe?
On the way, I ran into Deputy Captain Polmi by chance.
"Oh, you're right. You let them escape in preparation for death....."
I can no longer but laugh bitterly at what my readiness was.
But Polmi says in a serious way.
"No, I was impressed by the bravery of the captain."
"No, please don't."
... you'd be embarrassed instead.
"Besides, how's everybody doing?
"Ha, everyone's safe. We're meeting at a nearby church."
I see.
"So... who is he?
I wonder how to answer Polmi's question and raise my eyebrows.
"He... escaped.... maybe he's not hostile to us."
And at that time.
The ground suddenly began to shake, and me and Polmi stood up aggressively.
"What's going on?... an earthquake?
Captain, look at that.
When he looked in the direction that Polmi pointed, he saw a flaming pole of red.
Not so far from here.
Near the Wall.
When Polmi and I nodded to each other, they immediately ran out.
Gone into an open area near the barrier.
And we'll find him by the burning flames.
It's a gray-haired undead.
I raised my voice to the left of Polmi, who made her face strong next door.
"Hey, I found it!
Then he looked back at me for a moment, but when he saw my face, he was surprised and ran away.
I jumped over the barrier incredibly lightly.
What a leap.
"Kh! I'll let you escape...!
"Yes, Captain! Take this...."
"Hmm!?
Polmi will take control of me, who tried to follow me.
I saw a person rolling at her feet.
"This guy... he killed him?
The neck was completely twisted and apparently dead.
I was a little shocked that I thought it might be an undead that didn't harm people.
No, that's normal in the first place.
Simply that he wasn't the exception.
But what's strange... is this corpse smiling...?
"This characteristic is... good, Captain! Definitely... this man is the Reaper we were chasing - Jean-Diago!
"Hmm, what do you mean...?
I was stunned by the words Polmi told me.
You think this is Jean?
"Did he kill Jean? What the hell is going on...?
"Well, I don't know yet. But if you look at the situation, you can guess that Jean and that gray-haired undead fought here."
Sure enough, when I looked around, I saw marks that looked like that everywhere.
Jean is sure to bring his family, but they may have been hit by those gray hairs.
At that time.
Probably the neighbors, we've gathered around to hear the noise.
"There was a terrific noise just now...."
"Something's burning!
"Hih, people are dead...?
I raise my voice against them.
"We are the Holy Knights of St. Melt! There may be a dangerous undead lurking around! I'm leaving right now.
When I realized that they were staring at me in a daze, I looked back.
Got it?
Then there was the ghost that floated in space.
"Jean-Diago...!?
He was a psychic who had just turned into a corpse at our feet.
The vicious criminal who became a spiritual body somehow told him with joy.
Good evening, gentlemen! My name is Jean-Diago! Would you understand when it comes to the most vicious necromancer in the world?
The people gathered together make noise at the words.
It's not the voice of meat, of course.
A spiritual voice that resonates directly into your heart.
"Have you heard of it?
"A nasty necromancer who killed hundreds of people and made them undead...!
"You didn't make yourself undead!?
Few people know Jean's name.
Because it has become a sensational article in newspapers and so on many times.
Hahaha! Looks like a lot of people know about me! It's a great honor! Now, let me give you humans some wonderful news from me!
I had a bad feeling about it.
As I expected, Jean declares.
What a new catastrophe has appeared in this terrestrial world! His name is No Life King! As its name suggests, the undead in the undead! Exactly the King of the Undead!
"No-Life King...?
"... the King of the Undead?
"So, this is a disaster...?
... no good!
I fight.
"Polmi!
Yes!
Me and Polmi swung the spear aggressively and cast a purifying light.
Jean's ghost was supposed to have taken it seriously, but he didn't mind.
There is only one purpose for Norlife King! It's about building an undead kingdom! The history of mankind is coming to an end! More than that, the world of the dead is coming!
"Hey, shut up! On what grounds!? Hey, don't listen to him! Don't be fooled!
I scream desperately, but perhaps there will be water on the burnt stone.
It doesn't matter whether this is a fact or not.
Even an article published by a newspaper the other day would greatly inflame people's fears, as our church has been careful.
A catastrophe - that is, a crisis of such magnitude that it is not strange for mankind to perish.
If this declaration becomes known, the whole world could panic.
That's why we should be careful when determining the threat level of monsters and the like.
If a catastrophic class really emerged, it would be nothing more than a measure that humanity could take, and we would no longer have to pray.
We should therefore be afraid of the senseless confusion caused by incorrect information.
Finally, Jean's spirit disappears.
I hope you sing the rest of the short raw song! Ahahahaha! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... "
... leave such a laugh at the end.
"" Wow, woohoo!
People driven by fear scream and flee.
"Wait, wait!
I tried aggressively to stop him, but no one answered.
It is very unlikely that a few people will be able to keep this number down by themselves.
Rumors will soon spread throughout the city.
"Jean... you left me an extra souvenir at the end...!
"Captain, this is all his cod....?
"No, I can't make that decision. But for him, it would be good if mankind were in a mess."
Now that the gray-haired undead has not yet been determined to be dangerous, we wanted to proceed in secret and as calmly as possible.
As long as I actually confronted that gray hair with my eyes, it never seemed impossible.
But when this happens, it's no longer possible.
"... I can't help it. I will contact the church headquarters and urge them to issue a statement.... I don't know how effective it is."
Saying so, I see the wall where he left off.
... no life king trying to create a world of the dead on earth.
At least for me, that undead didn't look like such a thing.
