(When Reus took on the hordes of undead and threw Bahamut with all his might.)
“Hey, is it really fine that no one has to go outside the city?”
“I’ve heard rumors that he is a ridiculous baby…… but I don’t think he can manage over 10,000 undead by himself……”
“If those undead rush into the city, there will be extraordinary casualty, right?”
The adventurers voiced great anxiety. It was two girls who dismissed it.
“Don’t worry, he’ll take care of it.”
“Mmm. You should believe in Master.”
They are Anje and Fana. Even though they are young, no one can argue with the assertion of an A-rank adventurer.
“You’re right, but we should focus on the enemy in front of us right now.”
“Even though the number of our opponents is small, to be honest, we may not have enough strength either.”
In addition, veteran A-rank adventurers Gain and Emily argued. In their line of sight, they saw the undead heading straight for this building. Zebra is the one leading them.
“Tsk! That bastard is going to make a full recovery.”
As a figure clicked his tongue in disgust, the adventurers who were present and were facing their backs on him exclaimed, “Ah!”
“Guild Leader!?”
“A-are you okay to get up!?”
It was Ark, the Guild Leader, who was in a dying state just a moment ago. He is now behind them looking at the marching undead.
“Yeah, thanks to you, I’m doing great now. In fact, I’m even cured of my chronic illness, I’m feeling better than usual.”
The adventurers are energized by the revival of the former S-rank adventurer, but Ark had a grim expression on his face.
“Be careful, you guys. They’re a pretty nasty opponent.”
Eventually, when the distance between them was ten meters, Zebra spoke.
“You’re really a stubborn guy, Ark-old man.”
“That’s my line. Are you really that desperate to kill me that you even turn into the undead?”
“Kukuku. I actually like this undead body. As you know, I don’t feel pain or fatigue. Even my stats are more powerful than when I was alive. What’s more, the wounds I received will heal even if I leave them alone!”
“Don’t tell me……that skeleton over there is….”
The guild leader glared at the mysterious skeleton right behind Zebra. The skeleton rattles its jaws as it speaks.
“Fu, fufu, fufufu…… You are quite discerning….. That’s right…… I’m Mordea……”
Mordea was supposed to have been burned to death in the square in front of the guild. However, the corpse, which should have been exposed as it was, has now disappeared from the square.
“So you’ve been resurrected as an undead. Just how much regret did you have in this life. But to turn into an undead in such a short period of time…..”
“Fufufu, this is thanks to the power of the Great One…… Thanks to him, I rise again…… Not just undead…… but as the King of the Immortals…… As the Wight King……”
“You call him Great One?”
Apparently, there is someone behind Mordea. Not only did he turn Mordea into high-ranking undead, but he also created hordes of undead that were closing in on the city.
“…… I don’t even want to think about it right now.”
In any case, from the moment he was about to annihilate the group of undead in front of him, Ark felt a chill run down his spine as he readied his spear.
“This time, I’ll send you to the other world!”
Zebra rushed in. Ark instantly intercepts it. With a violent metallic sound, they crossed each other in an instant.
Thud!
The head fluttered in the air. It was Zebra’s head that fell to the ground and rolled over.
“……Wha-”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to deal with you for too long.”
With Zebra’s eyes wide open, Ark immediately turns his attention to Mordea, who has turned into the Wight King.
“Fufufu, letting your guard down…… is your greatest enemy, isn’t it……?”
“What?”
“Guild Leader! It’s dangerous!”
“Huh!?”
Ark turned around and saw the body of Zebra leaping towards him with his head missing.
