Monster no Goshujin-sama

Thirty.

You couldn't possibly move. It should have been a dead body. I confirmed it.

There is no breathing, the heartbeat has subsided, the blood has poured out heavily, and more importantly, the heart pierced by the sword has burst so fast. No matter how anyone sees it, it's nothing but a tragic corpse, and therefore the knight Silan will never rise again.

... it was supposed to be. But as a matter of fact, Silan is up.

That's not all. Different changes were happening to Silan's body, which shouted a soul-disappearing cry.

Purple meat flourished as if filled with patties, blocking deep wounds.

An organ that was dripping from his flank made a noise and dragged him into his body as he drifted.

As increasingly blackened discolored blood erupted from a section of his lost left arm, he ate like a snake on his rolling arm. When the connected blood returned to the body as if it was also seen in a film that had been turned backwards, it was dragged by it and the left arm also fitted into its original position.

Purple meat rises and the left arm is connected.

As soon as possible, the colour of the ring, which was embedded in the finger of his left hand, changed from blue to yellow.

That's a signal.

It was a testament to the transformation of an elf girl who defends the world into a monster who exchanges revenge on people… a ghoul who is an unwilling deceased.

Yes, the terms were in order.

The conditions under which gools occur have to do with the concentration of magic that fills the space. Originally built on a land full of magic called the Tree Sea, Fort Chile has become a scattered death place with the lives of more than a thousand humans and hundreds of monsters. With regard to the ghoul outbreak, such favourable conditions would not be.

Even my still awkward sensing abilities felt the magic drifting throughout this fort sucked into the girl in front of me with tremendous momentum.

"How dare you..."

A crossword stood up that drew my cheeks to the pain.

At the same time, the sword that was stabbing in the middle of Silan's chest is pushed from the inside out by raised meat and pulled out.

Cyran, who picked up the rolling sword, struck abruptly by a cross that echoed the pain.

"Ha, ah, ah!

A huge wave of blows running along with the roar. The cross took this with a straight sword.

"Ugh!?

Taking a heavy slaughter, a cross leg plunged into the floor.

"Ha!

Cutting back, Silan struck his sword in reverse. The squiggle and the sword body are swept, and the body of the ten letters received is shaken greatly.

From there an outrageous offensive was launched.

In the sword of Silan, which is rolled out, there are no shards such as the delicacy of life. That's just a rambling sword to slap.

But the momentum was also unprecedented in life.

Would that have been natural, too? She's already a monster. Stages that exist differently from humans. In the meantime, although the delicate sword moves cultivated have been lost, they still have some of the ones that were slapped by the body during their lifetime. The sword muscle was so intense and sharp that I don't think the unreasonable deceased was wielding it.

Steel roars. The wind sounds. The living groan, and the dead scream.

No matter, they won't shut up about the cross.

A blade of counterattack plundered Silan's cheek, slashed through his shoulder and tore his thigh.

"Haaaah!

But Silan doesn't cling to such wounds.

Are you saying that my life, which is already over, is not interested in hurting me?

There was undoubtedly one ghoul.

"This is... I can't interrupt right now"

Speaking to me, who was suddenly watching the battle in front of me, was Gabella, who had fought the Cross until earlier. Lily, who repaired her face, is with me.

"I'm sorry. I put the Lord in danger with my concubine's mistake."

"No. That's good. Why don't you go to Siran's support instead?"

"That's hard to do properly. I don't want to miss this opportunity with my concubine..."

Seeing the battle between the two, Gabella frowned gracefully.

"That doesn't matter how you look at it, you can't tell the enemy's side apart. If you fought shoulder to shoulder, it would be Sekiyama who would bite off that shoulder."

……

It was an argument I had no objection to.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

There is no reason for Silan right now.

Once within reach of her sword, she will be turned into a piece of flesh and devoured without distinction of enemy allies. This couldn't have allowed us to fight together or anything.

"Takahiro!

"Mr. Commander"

Now that you've seen it as an opportunity, the captain has rushed over with a knight.

She switched her mind that it wasn't if she cared now, although she gave Gabella an eye and a bare gesture to be vigilant for just a moment. He spoke to me out of sight.

"We will withdraw immediately."

"But Silan..."

"That's not Silan. Don't get me wrong. It's just an undead monster."

I've only been fighting in the Tree Sea for years, and the captain's opinion was dry.

I'm sure these things have been experienced in the past.

That's right. It's not Silan over there.

It's the monster that lived in Silan's body.

Silan is dead. If he dies, that's it. There's nothing you can do for a girl who's dead. Even if she stands and tries to walk. That's the common sense of this world, where there is such a thing as an undead monster.

"What shall we do, Lord? As the woman said, now the concubines can escape."

Gabella asked.

"Or if you want to take his revenge, you can wait until that ghoul drains that man until it's too late? It's a trick with him. Let's get fatigued if we fight in a row. Then there's a good chance that even a concubine can defeat you."

As Gabella put it, the crossword had increased the number of injuries.

It must have been a hate mistake to take the first bite with your arms. In addition, the situation that the deceased, who was certainly supposed to have killed, rises and strikes, evokes a root fear for humans. Obviously the sword muscle of the cross was dull.

Yet Schillan, who has become a ghoul, is waving his sword in disregard, except for his deadly attack on his survival as an undead monster. As a result, there were a number of matching occasions, and no matter how many cheats I had, I couldn't stay intact.

Silane is also damaged, but the 'damaged spot', where the blood does not even fade away, seemed to be repaired as soon as the example meat was raised. The place where the injuries I had suffered during my life had been repaired remained intact, but elsewhere, after a while, I had regained the smoothness of the original street.

Her properties as an undead monster of restorative regeneration are naturally established by magic. Until we run out of fuel, we'll still be able to fight for a while. They would have bought us enough time to escape, and weakened the cross to fight back.

"What do we do?

Garbera asks.

Do you want to leave Silan and run away like this, or take her revenge? Or......

……

For a moment I closed my eyes.

Behind the lid is a girl's smile. Slapping in the ear is the cry of the dead. - Determine your mind and hold your eyelids.

Determination is settled. All you have to do is move on without hesitation.... even if, as a result, whatever happens.

"Mr. Commander. I have one question, okay?

"What? Question......?

The captain looked confused by what I had said.

"I don't think Silan looks like a normal ghoul, do you?

I asked.

"I've run into Ghoul before. At that time, no body repairs had been done that way. The knights who became ghouls never even used their swords. But Siran is different."

"What's wrong with that..."

"Fine, answer me. It's important."

When I said it in an unspoken tone, the captain answered me with an uncomfortable face.

"... on rare occasions, it is known that some ghouls undergo tomorrow's transformation"

"Rarely, is it? Doesn't that mean there are a lot of famous knights, warriors, and wizards? For example... yes, like Carl the Immortal King"

That's a legend Kay told me about.

A magical king with excellent witchcraft turned himself into Rich, an undead monster, as he cut off the death of his lover. By his tough willpower, he said, he had left his intelligence behind.

"That's a gamble."

"Yeah. I know. In this world, that's what they think it is."

Undead monsters never have a lifetime consciousness. Because they become monsters, and it's impossible for that monster to have the will like a person.

That's common sense. Hence, the legend of the immortal king Carl is just a gag. That's what they think.

But I do. That a willing monster can exist. If so, it is possible to leave the will with the undead monster. If the legend of Carl, the Immortal King, was what really happened in the past...

"So, what do you think? Is there anything like a tendency for a human being to be a 'special undead monster rarely seen', as the captain put it?

"… in the first place, I doubt if I can say it's a trend because there are few examples"

Having said that, the captain turned his gaze to the ceiling in retrospect.

"In the past, when an excellent knight died, it is certain that a few examples are known. There's no official record of a ghoul outbreak in the Knights because it's a scandal."

"I see. Thank you."

And I nodded, and saw the battle of the ten letters with Shiran, which was still going on.

"... a moment, my lord"

You guessed, Lily's calling me.

"Is it possible?

"Oh."

I snorted back.

This is my power. [M] As much as I can and cannot, I can instinctively grasp it.

I looked again at the captains who did not know what they were talking about, and I told them the truth.

"There's a chance we can get Silan back."

"Huh......!?

"Really!?

The captain was out of line and Kay reacted to it to a large extent.

"Is it true, Takahiro?! Can you bring your sister back to life!?

"... unfortunately, I can't bring it back to life. But we might be able to get her back to the Undead Monster."

When I took Kay, who jumped at me, and told her, she made her eyes black and white.

"Duh, what do you mean?

"Speaking of which, have you not talked to me yet until the details of my abilities? You know, Kay. My ability is not just to follow monsters. We can connect our minds with the monsters and give them the will."

Silan is a monster now.

Then it's within my competence. I should have been able to connect my mind.

"Well, that's not unlimited either."

Even my abilities cannot produce any from nothing.

You can't give a monster a heart if you don't have the ingredients for it to budge.

So the important thing is, among the cilans who became undead monsters, does her will remain even in shards? But you don't have to worry about that area. I was certain.

"Thanks to Silan waking up as an undead monster, neither me nor Kay had to die. It's never a coincidence."

It was at that moment when me and Kay were in crisis that she woke up as an undead. Such convenient coincidences cannot be in this irrational world.

"Silan's desire to protect someone moved her body. Even where she has lost her reason, her heart has not been lost"

According to the legend of the Immortal King Carl, he was an excellent wizard of tough will.

If this is the condition of a 'willing undead', then Siran, who is an excellent spiritual user and has continued to fight with a strong desire, meets these conditions.

Fighting over there is not an anonymous undead monster or anything like that. It's Silan. She's dead and still fighting, bravely prepared for her death.

I want to protect someone. Just with that one heart.

Besides, I had another reason to be sure that her heart was still there.

It's about that moment when I thought of a future where I was burned out of Asalina, lost my means of emergency evasion, and slashed to the cross. I did hear that voice.

- Whatever. But we have to protect it.

The voice I heard then was definitely Silan's.

Perhaps my thoughts on the common threat of the cross were synchronized and my path connected with her only for a moment. After all, the Undead Monster is out of his mind now, but if he reconnects again, his voice should reach him. Because her heart has not yet been lost.

"But to do that, you need to touch her."

The path that is the essence of my cheat ability can be strongly tied to my opponent as close as possible to the subject. If I could touch her skin directly, I would also be able to touch her heart.

However, that also meant putting a horizontal spear in that battle between Silan and the Cross.

"So it's our turn."

I wielded my spear around and Lily glanced at Gabella.

"Let's be good. In the meantime, the concubine will hold him down. You can't fail like you did earlier."

Garbera hoisted the edge of her lips softly, chipping spider legs.

You mean during the snowflake war, a belligerent grin colored her beauty.

Smiling small at the dependable reaction, I pulled Kay's body apart to hug her.

"Um... Takahiro"

There was a slight resistance. Kay's hand was holding the hem of my clothes.

"Yeah?"

"Regards, Sister"

Laughing I stroked Kay's head.

"Leave it to me."
