Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

The voice was completely unexpected.

Being undead, I can sense positive energy. But that's not perfectly perceptible even in very small quantities.

Sometimes if you're distracted by something, you miss it so you can't hear the little noise unless you clear your ears.

I was alarmed. Cenri collapsed once, how can I expect to come back even though it hasn't been half a day yet?

I thought there would be an overnight respite, even if they would eventually come back to clean up.

I had purple eyes looking at this one like it was sucked in.

I don't have any emotions on that look, and it's horrible enough that if my heart was moving, I could stop.

"You..."

I turned my mind around the moment. [M]

The first thing I checked was whether Cenri had company. The four end knights Cenri had with him...... are not there. This is good news.

Next, I checked my power difference. Cenri is exhausted in the battle against the Lord. But the positive energy I had in me had recovered considerably more than what I had seen on the verge of leaving this place. Sounds like a long way from it, but it's a genuine - chemical.

The outfit was a little dirty, but there were no major injuries. In the first place, to see from the stickiness shown in the battle against the Lord, Cenri is likely to awaken during the battle, even if he was dying.

In the story, the Necromancer is doomed to defeat.

Finally, I imagined their perception of me.

I've already been seen in the city with Lou. Lew was killed by the hands of the Knight of the End, so it seems absolutely natural to judge me as the enemy who was with Lew.

Cenri was staring at me. But for a truly polar moment, I could see my gaze to the sun gleaming in the sky.

The only undead who can move in the sun is the lowlife. I guess you're wondering if you should judge me as undead, even though I don't seem to be under the effect of sunlight, but I'm not being attacked by instincts.

Negative energy can be hidden, so it doesn't look like an undead at first sight. I guess, if it's true.

Whoever burns by touching a silver arrow still grips his right hand complaining of sharp pain.

Blessed silver arrows are a general undead weakness that also works for corpse ghosts (ghouls). The power is low to such an extent that it would not be fatal if it were not weakened, but the ability to regenerate is inhibited and scarred for some time, and white smoke is currently rising in the progression system from the sloppy scars.

It's pointless to hide it now. There's no way Cenri won't notice that.

In the first place, even if I were human, I'd be crusaded as of Lord's people. The Knights of the End are a group of attacks. There are enough scenes in the children's magazine to relentlessly defeat the people of the city manipulated by the Necromancer.

I don't see why Cenri came back alone.

But if you run, they'll kill you. Even if it strikes, it kills me. It's counterproductive to show those barebacks.

If so - I just have to convince him.

If I were Cenri, I wouldn't miss me, but Cenri isn't me.

Seen in the city, she looked a little different from the other third-degree knights. It wasn't in the third degree knight, it was in the centipede... it's mercy.

Maybe because she thought we were human, but she tried to help us.

Let's be honest. If it wasn't Cenri who came here, but a third-degree knight, I'd probably already be dead.

I was rather fortunate to have come Cenri, because neither a third-degree knight nor a second-degree knight would turn into a reaper I could not contend with.

She is, no. Compared to the harsh end knights who appear in the miga, they are merciful. And it is a gap.

I tried to remain calm and made a sad look at Luu's grave.

"In my lifetime, Lew asked me to build a grave... I prayed for her to sleep in peace."

"…… yes"

The words coming out of my mouth were not bare, but I saw a moment of worry pass in that eye.

Not a salute, was this the vegan? I can't stay alert yet, but they're not going to wipe this one out right away.

Be friendly. Show them how human they are. I haven't shown the undead in front of her yet. [M]

"Er............... Cenri, is that it? What did Cenri come here to do?

Cenri stares at the grave and silences for a while, eventually saying it's pompous. Silver hair is shaking in a gentle breeze.

"........................... I came to get her, the body. Trying to bury him in the city."

The words were unexpected to me.

"Well... I wish I hadn't done anything extra."

I think from the bottom of my heart. If I hadn't built Lew's grave, I would have left before Cenri arrived.

Luu has also decided that he would rather sleep in a beautiful grave in the city than have a grave made in such a forest.

I couldn't help it because I had an appointment, but I didn't think the Knights of the End was such a special winning organization.

The centipede distances me from silencing myself to keep my frustration from appearing on the surface, and I stand next to me and look down at the grave.

White soft looking neck. The meat smelled intensely appetizing.

If you stretch your nails and wave your arms, it won't take a second to reach you. But I can't take that option. Don't give her a pretext to attack me (at a point when I'm undead enough).

"Friend, was it?

Friend? If Lew hears, it's an angry word.

Me and Lu are not friends or anything. At the end of the day, we exchanged promises and joined hands, but one way or the other, we were always in a hostile position.

I held my face and made a voice as sinister as Cenri's.

"No... family, yes"

…………

Appeal to your heart. Senli's, invite the sympathy of this merciful reaper.

I can. I haven't died this far. I can do it. Let's use any vile means.

Luckily, there's no need to fix it. I don't know what to say to myself, but I've been a pathetic person my whole life.

"But at last, Lew slept in peace. Even as Horos' slave as this was, there was no future. Unconsciously, she wanted death. Cenri is a benefactor."

"That's not true..."

To my lifting, Cenri says in a voice like she pushed him to death without moving a single eyebrow.

It's hard to understand emotions because the expression barely moves, but it seems unmistakably thick on the emotions.

I took a bet.

Time is not on my side. If Cenri doesn't come back forever, it's possible that his fellow Knights of the End will come looking for him.

I point to my own eyes and say with a deep sigh.

"At times like this, undead's body is inconvenient. I'm so sad... because I can't cry."

"Huh!? You, I knew it!

The look of the centipede changes to certainty and quickly steps away. This is her time.

I haven't pulled out my sword, but I'm in a dead place now. But I'm not in a hurry. Be careful.

I grinned so hard to show that I had no hostility, opened my hands, and raised them wide.

"Oh. I'm..." The Corpse Ghost. "However, I still remember when I was a human being."

"........................... Huh?

The look on Cenri's face has changed with little change so far. He opens his eyes wide and looks at me with no hostility.

Horos Carmen had no doubt that I had no memories of my life until the end. And apparently, to see Cenri's expression, that's a pretty rare pattern.

I won. It was the arrow that was stabbing Luu in the chest. Cenri's weapon is a sword.

She can't kill a poor human being. Even if her body is a monster, she can't kill me for remaining human intelligence and reason.

Even if no one blamed her, Cenri sympathizes too much with others.

As an end knight, it's sweet to the point of lethality. Fighting ability is immense, but Cenri was too human.

I don't want foot colors. Tell me how it is.

When I let him breathe unnecessarily, he started talking about the pathetic end.

§

Cenri listened to me with no expression. [M] But there was always a wave of agitation in my eyes that reminded me of that amethyst.

There was no grudge. What I had in my life was pain and despair. There was no room for effort, and I left only my obsession with the raw and finished the short raw.

It was precisely - a miracle - that I was able to wake up again, and that I still had memories after being undead.

I don't know why. The resurrection as an undead was not my intention.

But I was happy. It was a blessing to be able to run around the woods so that I could stand on my feet again.

What's the difference between an undead who doesn't attack, doesn't need to attack, and a human being - what is it?

I'm going to sue you for that. Stack up the episode, recalling the story of a cheerful con man who came out of a comedy I used to read.

"Yes. That letter..."

"Lew helped me. Horos Carmen was planning a terrible ritual. If he had, he might have ordered me to attack people. I definitely wanted to avoid that. Cenli and the others, we were fortunate that the Knights of the End had come to the nearby city. Thanks to you, I can still be human."

Choose the words and pile up the reasons for being forgiven.

Cenri lays her eyes down. I'm not lying. [M]

I've never attacked anyone. Because it's barely out of the woods.

I don't want to attack people. Because I don't want to make an enemy called the Knights of the End.

But if I needed it to survive, I would be a monster who would abandon my hesitations and attack humans.

I'm rational. He is a monster of reason and human intelligence.

Objectively speaking, he is a very horrible monster. If I were the Knights of the End, I would never forgive you.

In a way, it would be outrageously ironic that I, the undead, might be better suited to the end knight than a centipede full of talent.

"Fortunately, there are no humans in this forest. I'm going to protect Lew's grave in these woods and live the rest of my life quietly. You can hunt the beast for what you eat. That's how I've lived."

"... yes"

"Can't you?

Soon, the sun was about to set, a simple Luu tomb stained with a beautiful pearlescent color.

I waited for the answer. The palm wound that was about to be purified had already disappeared.

It's my night, undead time. Corpse ghosts aren't so fortified because they're weak undead, but they're much better than daylight.

Cenri was lost. Every second felt like a minute, enough.

I smiled and waited for my answer. [M] No, that's all I could do.

If you run now, Cenri will come after you. And I can't imagine my leg, a low-lying undead, blowing up a dragon easily and rivaling a centipede that can kill a load less than a hundred and twenty times. Even at night that doesn't change.

I'm not aware of Cenri, but she's got a sword stuck to my throat right now.

And Cenri finally raised her face. I was not lost in my eyes already.

His eyes were pitiful, and his voice had no emotions, but there was mercy there.

".................. ok. I've never met an undead in my lifetime but... End, you do have reason left. If that's the case, I don't think it's a problem..."

The last word contained some confusion. But I was strongly prepared for the word.

Perhaps you're going to convince your people.

She's right everywhere, she's sweet everywhere.

Relax and look down at the grave.

"Good...... maybe Luu is happy too"

"............ I'll come back tomorrow. If you need anything, say it. Because I'll bring it."

"You can't ask me to go that far. But yeah...... I'd like you to bring me some flowers if you can serve Lew. It's like these woods don't have all kinds of flowers."

".................. ok. Be sure to bring it."

The centipede nods strongly.

He's a dazzling person. Her soul, including in her lifetime, is probably the least dirty of all the humans I've ever met.

She believes in people. This wouldn't happen if I lived a normal life.

It's a little different from the Knights of the End I admired, but its qualities would show up very honorably, even objectively.

So it's so... heartbreaking to fool her so pure.

The sky turns into darkness. Cenri closes her eyes and prays to Luu's grave and walks toward the exit of the forest.

Perhaps we'll never see each other again. As soon as I'm gone, I'm leaving the woods.

Cenri's silver hair is shaking. At the end of the day, I called out on its back.

Only one question remained. Cenri, an expert in undead crusades, might know.

"Cenli. That being said, Horos Carmen was saying. Make" The King of the Dead, "he said. Maybe it doesn't matter anymore, but you know what" King of the Dead "is?

When Cenri stopped perfectly, she said it was nothing without turning around.

"" The King of the Dead "refers to the Necromancer (Necromancer), a Necromancer who has transformed himself into a special undead by the prohibition. Horos Carmen was human. I destroyed it. It doesn't matter anymore"

§

Waiting for the signs of Cenri to disappear completely, I started acting.

I had to hurry.

Cenri took the option of missing me. I accepted my suggestion to spend all the time in the woods.

Perhaps that word is the heart of Cenri. It hasn't been long since we met, but it's clear she's not the kind of person to lie to.

But Cenri probably can't convince his people.

Naturally. I have a lifetime memory, but it is an indisputable monster. There is no way the Knights of the End will miss the crusade of the Dark Families as divine life.

I had a vision for the Knights of the End. I know them very well. Not that the other knights are cruel. Centrifuge is' heterogeneous'.

Will Cenri keep her mouth shut about me to her people? That's not possible either. She's not stupid, but she believes in people too much.

Even if they kept quiet, how would their companions perceive the centipede, who headed to retrieve the body but returned with nothing?

Cenri would say if my people asked me. And beg for mercy for me. Just like I did to Cenri.

Definitely, coming to kill me. In a group, they come to kill. They trick their princess in the mouth, and they come to kill me, the ugly one who tried to survive.

I don't want people to recognize me or accept me. I'm already a monster living in the dark.

He's a raw meat-eating monster, and if he lived long enough, he'd start sucking blood too.

Nothing has changed what I want. All I want - is to live. Survival and freedom. I'm going to look for more than that.

Away from the tomb of Lew, heading to the ruins of the mansion.

The purpose is to make sure you don't take it with you on the run.

There's still time before Cenri gets to the city. I can stretch my nails, but I'll need a weapon. Shake it, shake it, shake it not, that's also like a kind of load of shapes. It's special.

With that said, Cenri said he was a necromancer who turned the "King of the Dead" thing into an undead.

Maybe a sunset coat or a shadow amulet was something Lord prepared for himself.

Flip the debris in the place where Lord's lab was located and struggle to find the pitch black. Finally, you also get the travel outfit, starting with the bag.

By then, the Book of Darkness had completely covered the forest. Only the silver moon illuminates the world.

Night's eye starts ticking. Vision is assured. Night is my time.

I don't know where to go because I don't have a map, but let's get as far away as we can.

Do bad things to Cenri. But I can't help it.

I... I don't believe in people as much as she does.

Shake a few degrees and cross the mansion fence with a quick leg.

When the centipede walked in the opposite direction to which it was headed,

- Out of nowhere, I heard a voice calling my name.

'End of the line - finally, the time has come. The vessel of the king of the dead.'

A dark voice as if it sounds from the bottom of hell. Something cold passes on my spine.

Pull out the chin, which had been lowered to the waist, and quickly check the surroundings.

It was - I was in the universe. Bite your tongue and scratch away the gushing fear.

He floated to block the silver moon and looked down at me with a face no different from his lifetime.
