King Arendros III of the Kingdom of Romana is known by the people as the Heroic King.
But the beginning of his life was by no means a breeze.
Born as a son of a former king, his mother's birth was not very good, so he was not given the right to inherit the throne and was not treated as a royal family when he was young.
Such a man quickly cut himself off as a royal and became an adventurer.
Then, he shows his head and head, and in his mid-twenties, he reaches the ultra-carbon gold class, where there are only a few people in the world.
And his return to the royal palace was prompted by the emergence of a catastrophic monster in the country.
And as the prince and his brethren fled from the kingdom to the land before him, he confronted the monster with his companions, and made them crush after a fierce battle.
Alendros III, disappointed by his brothers, realized that he was worthy to lead the country, and seized the throne.
Although there was initially a skirmish with the opposition, the overwhelming support of the people led to the establishment of a stable regime.
Because of these circumstances, his statement that the King's City is safe gave the residents a great deal of peace of mind.
"I heard you. If Undead comes, His Majesty the King will intercept him himself."
"Your Majesty was once crushed by the Disaster Class. I'm sure he'll save this country again."
Thanks to this, the panic was kept to a minimum and there was no riot even if access from the King's City was restricted.
... of course, some of them were afraid.
An inn in King's City.
Even though it was dinner time, there were guests who never came out of the room.
"Did you hear that, customer? You're a famous adventurer, aren't you? Can I drag it in here? I thought the Adventurers Guild was gathering support to help His Majesty."
"Ugh, shut up! That's on my own!
The owner of the inn blamed him for passing the door and yelled at him with tears, an adventurer characterized by red hair.
He was also a talented person with a special rank of less than one percent of all adventurers, platinum rank.
"Ah, I shouldn't have come to King's Landing...!
Wrapped in a blanket in the corner of the room, Estina trembles.
Initially, I thought it would be safe in King's Landing, but after reading in the newspaper that the undead was approaching, anxiety grew, and now it's like this.
"No way, you didn't follow me here...? If that's the case, I'll be killed next time....! Ahh! Why are you banned from going in and out?! You can't run away with this!
Estina hangs on her head.
My husband says to her from the other side of the door.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty will do something about it. How could he have been crushed before?"
"You can say that because you've never seen him before!
Estina remembers.
The monster who didn't feel any pain after receiving a special attack that he released with all his might.
"... even if we were heroic kings, I don't think we could beat him... and the King's Capital fell... we're all going to be undead... woaaahhhhh!
The innkeeper secretly complains loudly as he hears it from inside the room.
"... I want you to keep it quiet at least because it's annoying to other customers. Well, the neighborhood looks similar anyway."
That said, he turned to the room next to the room Estina was staying in.
"Don't come... don't come this way..."
From there, I hear voices desperately trying to get away from something.
I was staying with a merchant-style man named James.
"I'm sure he followed me... it was my destiny not to escape... what the hell did I do! Ah, but if you want to taste that fear again, here and now...."
The owner of the inn changed his appearance and knocked on the door.
"Oh, customers! Please don't hurry! If you're going to die, at least die outside the inn!
◇ ◇ ◇
"Your Majesty! The undead, thought to be a no-life king, has entered within five kilometers! Looks like they're headed straight for King's Landing!
"... I see."
The rest nodded quietly to the report from the soldier.
"That's your majesty... unlike us, it's as if you're not moving."
"Even with the current battle against catastrophic monsters, calm down....."
"Probably confident. As long as His Majesty is present, our country is safe."
I hear such praise and relief from everywhere.
Thanks to this, I want to exhale deeply.
... at all, this guy is completely reliant on his spare.
What happens to this country if something else happens?
King of Heroes.
That's what I've been called for a long time.
Our Romana kingdom, with its history and traditions, was driven by the rapid growth of its neighbors and followed a course of decline until the time of its ancestors.
The rest, with their strong leadership, gave the impression that the country was rebuilt in just one generation and that there was a Romana kingdom in the world again.
But the rest knew with their own hands that the existence of the absolute hero that guided the people was the sword of the double-edged.
Everyone looks at the rest of the face, and just obeys the rest.
He forgot to think with his own mind, and turned it into a mere tool to execute orders.
Few people are truly responsible for the future of this country now.
But...
"Take a good look at the rest of the fight!
Yu raised his voice and appealed to those gathered here.
From now on, fight monsters that are considered (...) catastrophic by themselves.
The opponent surpasses the Disaster Class that was defeated once.
You won't be able to win any more.
Still, I'm willing to defeat him in exchange for myself to protect this country.
There is no doubt that the rest of us will die here.
But that's fine.
The rest is no longer like cancer in this country.
It may be rough therapy, but we have to get rid of the rest to arouse the people of this country.
I hope that this patriotic spirit will be conveyed to those gathered here, who will only see with their eyes the battle of life that Yu will wage from now on.
"Yuk, Ryun!
"Hyhhhh!
Run away with the rest of his lovehorse, Lune.
This white horse inherits Unicorn's blood for a very long time and is the rest of the adventurer's life.
We have survived the trials together more than once.
As I looked at it, I saw the gray-haired undead approaching.
Looks like they noticed us too.
... as far as I can tell, I don't feel much magic.
But that's not enough to despise.
Instead, I was more vigilant.
Among the brilliant monsters who have lived for many years, there are many who hide their powerful powers.
I once saw painful eyes with it.
The rest of my intuition whispers.
That undead is definitely of that type.
Shrink!
The rest of them pull out the sword they had raised on their hips.
There is no shortage for the other party.
The remainder made a name for herself.
"The other name is Arendros III! It's an evil undead that harms this country! The rest of us will take God's place, and I will punish you."
The gray-haired undead turned his body around.
"-What?"
He turned his back on us and ran away at a glance.
