Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up

When I grabbed it on the way, I was in a hurry, but I managed to get through the hole.

"Where is this...?

"Surrounded by new and old walls, it used to be a slum town."

The boy is right, the area is lined up with a rugged house.

People come out of narrow alleys and slender doors one after another, gathering straw after straw.

"Onii-chan, onii-chan, welcome back!

"Who's there, oniichan?

All the kids.

Some of them looked like toddlers who had just begun walking.

There's a kid hiding out here who's running late.

"Running late?

When I heard more about it, it was apparently about half a month ago that city residents abandoned the city and fled due to a monster anomaly.

It was no exception for the inhabitants of this slum town.

At that time, however, many children were left behind by adults, and it seems that these are the children who are here now.

"I've known a lot of these guys since they were little, so I don't have to leave them alone."

The two boys and sisters I helped said they had been training swords and bows for a long time, with the goal of eventually leaving the country to become adventurers.

As a result, they may have been able to escape, but they remain here for younger children, sometimes exploring dangerous cities where monsters roam to get food.

"That's when I happened to find my sister fighting monsters."

Was that so?

Nevertheless, questions remain.

Normally, an army or the like will be dispatched, and we should begin to investigate the cause of the anomaly and eliminate it immediately.

Why have you left it for half a month?

"The grown-ups said we can't move our army freely in this country. It's strange, even though it's an army in my own country."

"... I see."

Convince me with the boy's words.

With the reign of the Empire, the Royal Lao Army should also be under the control of the Imperial Army.

And the Imperial Army is currently invading our neighbors, and perhaps the Royal Army is being driven there.

Either way, it means you don't want to divide your troops into problems within a single country.

Adventurers often play an important role when countries and lords cannot expect it.

But the Empire didn't have an Adventurer Alliance in the first place.

The existence of the Adventurer Alliance, an international organization, may be inconvenient for an Empire that thoroughly excludes interaction with other countries.

"But as far as I can see, the number of monsters seems to have decreased considerably. Doesn't the abnormality appear to be subsiding?

"If that's the case, I'm glad... But maybe it's because of your white brother that there are fewer monsters in the city."

"White brother?

"Yeah, it's so strong, I knocked out Trolls in no time!

When they were exploring the city to secure food as usual, they encountered a giant monster, Troll, like a house.

I quickly decided that I couldn't stand my teeth and ran away, but besides my feelings, I could catch up quickly.

The Savior who showed up there had a fight with his white brother.

"Like home....?

True, Troll is a giant, but he leans his neck when it comes to the house.

Is it because it is based on the house in this slum city?

There's still a body over there.

"Hmm!?

Turning to me, I took a breath at the giant body buried in the rubble.

If the normal troll were about three meters tall, it would be twice as light.

The width is wide enough to be considered ten times as large as the volume.

No matter what you think, it's not Troll.

It's a superior species.

"... Trolling?

The Troll King is a monster that has been designated Disaster Class.

That should be why we need to send troops to destroy them.

It is no longer human territory, such as defeating it alone.

"Does that white mean the color of your hair...?

"That's right. Is it pure white? Besides, I feel my eyes are red."

Definitely.

It's a gray-haired undead.

Looks like he came to this city, too.

"Do you know where the young man went?

"Maybe he's still here."

"In this city?

"Looks like they're killing the monsters that broke into the city. That's why it's been so much easier to collect food these days, and it's been really helpful."

"Well, do you know where he is?

I'm afraid to ask, but my brother and sister shook their necks to the side.

"I don't know. He's a stranger, he's hiding somewhere."

"I want to thank you properly...."

It seems that I see it occasionally.

Rather, they often think it's getting closer from the other side.

But if they try to speak up, they'll get away somehow.

... definitely.

That trait is still him.

But why do you run away when you help people...?

"But I also feel like I can talk to you later."

"As my sister says, even if I run away, it's getting closer and closer."

I see.

Next time I want to communicate with him... maybe this brother and sister will do better.

"Do you mind if I stay here for a while? Of course, if there's anything I can do to help."

◇ ◇ ◇

"Still, I don't know how it feels...."

I murmured across the city from the top of the clock tower.

It's been a few days since we got here.

Since then, they have eliminated monsters roaming the city and created simple barricades to keep them from entering and exiting.

The children who remain in this city will now be relieved a little.

Apparently, in addition to the brothers and sisters who helped Troll the other day, there are more than twenty children living there.

There were still many young children, and it seemed that the elderly siblings were somehow above hunger when they searched for food to bring home.

But when I looked out of the city, the monster was scared.

I should have cleaned up after going out several times, but it will go back to normal after a while.

No, it could have been more.

By the way, I didn't see much of it when I came to this city because I was unleashing my magic.

When I arrived in the city, I suppressed my magic once again, so I gathered again.

"If you keep defeating monsters like this, it won't fit. I knew I had to stop the source....."

There must be a reason for this monster's anomaly.

If we can find out and get rid of it, we can definitely stop it.

"The most monsters I've seen... are in the northeast."

Looking northeast, I'm talking to myself.

Simply put, the higher the density of the monster, the closer it should be to the source.

The forest is visible to the northeast.

The forest was full of monsters and turned this area into a paradise of monsters.

Let's go check it out. The monsters in the city have almost been eliminated, and it won't be a problem without me for a while. "

It was time to move quickly to find out the cause of the abnormality.

Hey!

"Onii-chan!

I heard a call from under the clock tower.

That brother and sister.

You want to thank me for what I did back then? Sometimes, when I run into you, I come closer to you.

I also wanted to ask them something, so I tried to respond to it...

Beth, you're not running away because you're a girl.

Girls like that can afford a conversation!

Yeah, it looks like he's scared of me too, so he's just trying to keep away from me.

"Brother, come down!

"Let's talk!

……

The area around the clock tower is a square.

When I try to get out of here, I usually have to go through where my brother and sister are, but I can just jump to the wall that looks like it.

I don't know what to do...

……

As a result of all the trouble, I decided to muster the courage to respond to their call.
