Raydor Holy Sword War Journal

"So... what's a report?"

Leaving Neferte in the room, Justy asked the lieutenant's men as she walked down the hallway.

The subordinate looks at the back and confirms that the door is closed and reports in a whisper.

"That's... I just heard from someone who was out fishing that a ship flying the flag of the Kingdom of Aterna is coming offshore."

"Aterna's ship...?" Is it true that the Prince of Neferte was on board? "

Are you safe? -Justy caresses her chest.

Knowing that he was the only one who could be saved, Neferte seemed quite down.I would be glad if there were more survivors.

"That's... that ship is strange."apparently it wasn't unusual... "

"Hmm... isn't that an explanation that doesn't get the point?"Tell me more about it. "

"I'd like to, but... maybe the fishermen just leaned over."I think you're already offshore, so it might be faster for you to look directly at it. "

…………

Justy strangely lifted her eyes behind her glasses as she stepped out of the Mansion and headed towards the harbor.

○ ○ ○

When Justy arrived at the port, there was a crowd there just like before.

Residents of the town - fishermen and sailors gathered to point in the direction of the sea.

Something's wrong! Tell me!

"Ah... a strange boat is coming offshore..."

"What's wrong with you?" I'll show you. "

Justy takes the telescope from the sailor and looks inside.

Inside the lens, a ship approaches the harbor from a distance.

The ship did indeed carry the flag of the Kingdom of Aterna.

But... it wasn't unnatural.The ship was damaged and worn out.

There are holes all over the hull.The main mast of the three masts was barely safe, but the other two were broken in the middle.The sail was also completely torn, and the cloth was tangled in the mast.

It's strange how you can go through the ocean without sinking.

"... are there any figures?" I heard that you were struck by a storm and the monsters attacked you, but did the sailors survive? "

“What are we going to do, wait for the ship to get here?”

"No... it's a hassle to get into the harbor under repair."Let's take out the boat and transfer it to the ship, and if there is no survivor, let's sink it. "

Even though the sails were torn, the boat was coming straight to the harbor.

Obviously, it's not just the power of the waves.It was necessary to board the ship to confirm the identity of the anomaly.

"I'm sorry, but I need to lend you a fishing boat." Do you mind? "

Oh, of course.

Justy boarded two fishing boats with his men and rowed the oars towards the Aterna offshore.

The closer we get, the clearer the worn-out ship becomes.

From the hollowed-out hull, the view from the other side seemed to be more of a floating stream of waste material than a ship.

"Is anybody here?!" Answer me! "

Justy raised her voice from the boat, but there was no response from the deck, which was a few meters high.I can't feel any sign of anyone.

"... just in case, let's check inside"

Justy grabs the rope hanging from the top of the ship and rises up dexterously with the strength of her arm.Soldiers follow, climbing onto the ship's deck.

The ship's deck was just as worn out as its hull, and it was about to collapse.

There is no human figure there.At least... there's no human figure alive.

"There's a corpse here... it's badly damaged."

One of the soldiers shouted.

Justy turned to look at the human body that had lost one arm.

The skeleton of an elderly man was covered with water and wet, and the left shoulder part was missing as if it had been eaten by a crocodile or a thousand cuts.

“We also have it here! I'm also... in a terrible state."

Behind the ship's deck, another soldier finds the wreckage.

Your remains were crushed by the bones of your body, and your arms were glued to your torso as if they were crushed by a giant's arm.What kind of death would it be?

Then the bodies were found all over the ship, but all of them were heavily damaged, and there was hardly anything holding the prototype.

"... I don't think there's any survivors." It's incomparable. "

Justy closed her eyes and shook her head.

I was expecting it, but... it's a lot worse than I expected.

How can I tell this to that young [boy]? -Justy was often troubled and bit her back teeth in pain.

"Mm...!"

If I do so, the hull will be heavily shaken by a squeezing sound.

The stimulus from Justy and the soldiers must have brought the ship closer to its limit.

"I don't know what to do... I'm escaping the ship."You don't have to retrieve the body.Cut off one strand of hair from the body you found! "

You should have taken the body out and buried it in the grave.

However, if the ship collapses during the extraction operation, it will be involved and cause additional damage.taking the beard with you was the utmost grief possible in this situation

"...... please forgive me if I leave you like this. Have a good night's sleep."

The soldiers follow orders to retrieve the hair.Justy also crouches down near the body and takes out the knife.

I grabbed the young man's hair and tried to cut it off with the blade... but someone grabbed Justy's hand like that.

"Nah...!?"

It was the right arm of the dead man that grabbed Justy's right arm.

A fallen man moves his neck toward Justy and opens his jaw to the limit.

"Kishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Gwoosh...!"

Pierced by a frozen scream, Justy reflexively struck the man's head with her left hand.

A stronger arm groaned and the man's neck was stretched beyond its limit.

Your neck is torn apart by the rattling sound, and your head is flying like a ball away from your torso.

"Kishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...!!"

Even though I was separated from my torso, my head continued to scream, but eventually it shattered like a tomato that stomped on the mast.

The headless torso collapsed and this time it stopped moving.

* giggle * ahhhhhhhh!?

"Wow! What the hell!?"

"The corpse... ahhhhhhh!"

Screams rose all over the ship.

Rolling corpses rose up one after another and accompanied Justy to attack the soldiers on board.

The living corpse stood up like a spring-loaded toy, biting a soldier or hitting him with a broken arm.

"Nh...!"

Impossible situation. A hellish sight unlike anything else in the world.

After witnessing astonishment, Justy was only a short time away.Immediately recall your role as commander and instruct your soldiers to fly.

"Fight back! The opponent isn't so quick with his whole hip!"If you calm down, you can easily defeat them! "

Justy pulls out her hip sword and cuts off the corpse that was biting the soldier's neck.

I didn't bring my favorite spear, but the slash from my stronger arm was easily powerful enough to cut both sides of the human body.

The two broken skeletons rolled onto the deck.

Shaaaaaaaah!

Mmmm!

"Ugh...! Justy, keep going to Captain Thousand!"

"Let's get rid of the undead!"

Inspired by Justy, who takes the initiative to fight, another soldier slashes an immortal sailor.

Fortunately, the living corpses aren't moving very fast.Is it because the damage to the body is severe, or is it because it exists in the first place?He had a fighting ability that was beyond the reach of bad thugs in the alley.

At first, we were attacked by an impossible upset, but if we calm down and deal with it, we can win without any problems.In a matter of minutes, all the corpses were exterminated, and the living corpses returned to a real body that would never rise again.

"Is anyone hurt?" Report the damage! ”

"There was one injured person who was bitten on the neck."The rest are minor injuries, and no one has suffered a life-threatening injury! ”

Justy's question was answered by the First Officer's man.

There are no dead soldiers.Some were bitten in the neck, but it didn't seem to be a fatal injury.

I was surprised by the sudden battle, but for the time being, I was able to win without any casualties.

"... don't be alarmed. These are the Undead.It was a cursed wreckage. When I get back to land, the guru will purify me.You might be getting a strange curse. "

Undead. Immortal.

It was a human body that had been left unskilled and had been transformed into a monster.

Even the monsters of the dead and moving skeleton were feared by the people, even those who infected the curse.

"Nevertheless... how did all these bodies end up in the Undead?"Was it careless to lose one's life in the ocean? "

“Impossible. One or two of them would still make all the corpses undead at once.”

In order for the dead to mutate into the Undead, emotions such as strong cultivation, regret, and hatred are necessary.

It is hard to imagine that the entire crew of the ship died with such strong emotions, despite the tragic end of their lives.

(In other words... these people did not become immortal naturally.They were forced to resurrect at the hands of somebody.

"... there's more to report to Lord Raydor."It's a really rewarding job. ”

Justy snorted and jumped from the 'Ghost Boat' towards the boat.
