Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up
Episode 45: I knew I couldn't die.
On the orders of Knight Celestia, I immediately set out to intercept the gray-haired undead.
"Ma, ma, you're going to lure me all over the city!? How can you do such a dangerous thing!?
"Your Majesty, please be quiet."
"Cucumber...."
King Leon Hurd, who had his white eyes peeled and stretched, left him alone, and I explained the situation to Lord Bite.
"... I see. Let's do something about it."
The part-time lord admitted confusingly that he trusted me.
Then evacuate the general public and open the gates.
And the call of each church brings the majority of the Meltist followers to the square.
In addition, the mariners gathered in the square.
Every kingdom has a certain number of skilled mariners.
Few countries, like Romana, are constantly deploying, but still deploy defensive boundaries to cover the entire city in an emergency.
This is no exception to the small country of here, the Kingdom of Tana, and we mobilized them all, including the border-cutters who should have been waiting for an emergency.
Finally, place several caged zombies in the center of the square as bait to attract him.
Of course it's the same undead, but I don't think it works as bait.
However, I lied that "from previous investigations, he will be attracted to my clan."
You won't believe me when I say that I have a conversation.
"Worst of all, I can draw him this far."
I was trying to have a conversation.
You deserve to be able to guide him.
"Captain Remul, we have visual on the target. Looks like they're headed straight for the gates."
Soon, the deputy chief Polmi will report that.
Waiting close to the castle gate, I was ready to move on to the next action at any time, even though I was nervous.
Captain, it appears the target has dived through the castle gate.
Apparently he didn't have to leave before he came into the city himself.
But there's no way they're going to make it to the square.
Captain, the target is heading straight for the square.
……
I decided to hurry to the square.
Of course, there is still the possibility that we may be lost on the way.
"Captain, the target is in the square...."
……
Soon I could see him in my eyes.
That's right, we won't get close to that obviously suspicious cage.
"Captain, the target is in the cage...."
……
I thought it was a pretty intelligent undead, but maybe it was my mistake.
"Now!
It was Captain Celestia who shouted that.
As the boundary mentors who were waiting quickly jumped out, they developed the boundary.
Originally, it enriched the enormous boundaries that would protect the King's City to this size.
No matter how much gray hair you have, it won't be so easy to destroy it.
"Looks like it went well, Captain Rimul. Then I'll beat him up."
The commander approached the gray hair satisfactorily.
Looking at the confident back, I wondered if she would really beat him up.
On the other hand, somehow complex emotions spring up.
"... this feeling..."
◇ ◇ ◇
The female leader rushes into her hands to become a sword.
The light from the sword stretches into heaven as a pillar, as though it were the light of a falling angel.
With this, we may die this time.
I inflate my chest with expectations and wait for that moment.
"Haah!
Then the slash struck the sky.
"Ugh!"
I was struck by a shock that penetrated my whole body.
This might feel pretty good!?
My vision was greatly distorted when the captain flew back.
Probably because of the blow to the head.
"Hmm... I didn't expect this kind of damage..."
But the captain was surprised.
Apparently, he wasn't more responsive than I thought.
Moreover, your vision will soon return to normal.
... it seems to have healed on its own.
"Besides, the unusual regenerative power... is still not insulting... Ladies and gentlemen, the power of further prayer! Just called catastrophic, it's incredibly resistant and regenerative, but it definitely works! With our help, we will definitely take it down!
And the call strengthened the prayers of the believers.
The light brought by the Sword adds momentum.
"Haaaaaa!
Light slashes again.
The next moment, my sight spinned.
The ground approached in front of me, and there was a collision.
Then the sight turned again and again, and eventually when it stopped, the sky was visible.
I was the only one who caught the edge of my vision.
Apparently, the torso has been completely destroyed.
"This is it, this is it!
Under these circumstances, I was shouting unexpectedly.
There is no way that you will not be pleased with the death of your wish that is finally approaching.
But it was just after that.
My body, which is supposed to have disappeared, grows from my lower body as soon as I see it.
I wondered if my chest and arms had finally been restored, and all of a sudden the resurrected body approached me.
Guess, the head rolling on the ground blew through the sky with a strange force and merged with the regenerated neck.
So I quickly regained my original appearance.
"Oh no... what a self-regenerating force..."
The captain was shaking her lips.
"Hah, hah..."
And my breathing is so rough.
She looks pale and is about to collapse.
"Well, not yet!
Still the female leader did not give up, and pressed the believers diligently.
"Once it's completely extinguished, it's impossible to revive it! Say your prayers again! Your faith shouldn't be so bad...!
In response, the prayers of the believers grow stronger.
While the sword showed an incredible brilliance, the expression of the female leader became more and more distorted.
"Captain!
It was that knight girl who tried to rush there.
"Remuru, you stay back....!
"So, shuffle... Albert the Sword is a huge burden on half of what gives you the power to break! More than that, my body....."
I see, that sword, it seems to be putting a heavy load on the user.
Is that why you seem to suffer so much?
"Don't worry... don't worry...! Before that... I'll knock you down...! Hahhhhhhhhhh...!
Along with the temper of tearing, the female leader slashes at me.
And the moment I got hit like a flash, my consciousness completely flew.
Oops, did you... finally...?
All I felt at the last moment was the joy of finally falling asleep in peace.
Is that it?
What was I doing right now?
When I realized it, I fell down on the cold ground.
If you tilt your neck, raise your torso.
Then the woman with chestnut hair opened her eyes with consternation.
Her breath is rough and she is sweating like a waterfall.
There were a lot of people in the square to surround me.
Oh, I see.
That's where I remember.
This woman decapitated me with a tentacle sword that could purify every undead.
"... intact."
I checked my body, but if I didn't get hurt anywhere, it didn't hurt.
It seems that my consciousness has been flying for a while...
"Kh...."
"What, commander!?
The female leader is about to fall to the ground.
The knight girl rushed over to support her body.
"And I can't believe it... I can't believe it's playing back from that state... Now... how do I purify it..."
I am sighing as if I had given up anymore.
Um... what should I do?
The faithful gathered in the square are also upset, they have already stopped praying, and it seems like they can't do it anymore.
You've lost hope again...
It seems that I can't die that easily.
... I can't seem to purify myself, so should I go home soon?
This state of attention from a lot of people, even though it's undead, the mind is worn out.
That's why I tried to leave this place a long time ago.
Hmm?
Suddenly the sky got dark and I thought maybe the sun had hidden in the clouds, but I looked up at the sky and screamed, "Ugh."
It was those two dragons that were flying gently over the sky that I saw somewhere.
Nushi-sama, I finally found out.
Lord, this time I won't let you escape!
