After defeating the Dullahan with Holy Attribute Magic, I took out a sword from my subspace and held it up.
“This baby…… can even use a sword?”
“Shrinkage”
Closing the distance between him and me, I unleashed a slash as I passed by.
“….…”
His right arm flew through the air and fell to the ground, splattering fresh blood.
Nice. Shrinkage is starting to look pretty good. It’s still far from the level in my previous life, but it’s good enough for this baby body.
“However, this mass-produced sword will shatter just with a single strike huh….”
I slashed the right arm of the demon, but that alone caused several cracks in the blade. Well, demons have a high defense power after all. It can’t be helped.
“……What a ridiculous baby. Are you really human?”
“Of course I’m human. Eh?”
The demon picks up his right arm and attaches it to where it was cut. Then, it was restored as it was.
“Hmm….. It didn’t look like you used healing magic…… I should slash your neck next time then.”
I used shrinkage again, and this time, I decapitated him. However, the severed head just bounced on the ground and then it flew back to the demon’s neck.
“……I see. You’re turning yourself into an undead.”
“That’s correct.”
Apparently, this demon is not only manipulating the undead, but also turning himself into undead.
“Undead are amazing you see. They’re neither alive nor dead. It’s a truly blasphemous existence that defies God……”
The demon speaks with an ecstatic face.
“Even humans who are just like the worms would be worth keeping alive on this world as undead. I’m going to turn this world into a paradise for the undead.”
……It seems to be a demon with a somewhat special idea too.
Well, most of the demons are always strong in their personalities and opinions. Therefore, they are very bad at forming cliques, which is why they have been driven to the brink of extinction by humans.
“Baby, I’m going to make you an undead too. You’ll be a good body.”
“Thanks for the invitation, but I decline. Holy Ray!”
If the opponent is an undead, I have no choice but to defeat him with the Holy Attribute magic that I used for Dullahan earlier. There is no point in physically attacking high-level undead after all.
—However, the demon easily crushed the purifying light I emitted with one hand.
“Did you think this level of magic would work on me? Now then, I’ll grant you a great opportunity to witness the power of my true self!”
Along with the enormous amount of magical power that overflowed from him, the body of the demon began to transform. Human arms, legs, and even heads grew all over his body.
“……This guy can transform too?”
What eventually appeared before me was the upper body of a giant, made by forcibly kneading the bodies of countless humans.
「「「aaaaaaaa……」」」
What looks like a human face grows from here and there, and it emits such an eerie voice.
“What do you think? Isn’t it wonderful? This is my masterpiece of necromancy.”
The voice of the demon descends from above. He was now buried in the giant’s forehead, looking down at me.
“Hmm, it’s amazing indeed. But I’m not jealous. It seems like it’s hard to move.”
“No need to worry about that. I can control everything as I wish, just like it’s my own hands and feet.”
The giant’s arm stretched out. It’s an indescribably frightening arm created by combining numreous undead bodies. I immediately jumped down and dodged the thing that tried to grab me.
“Holy Ray!”
When I performed a purification spell, a portion of the meat mass disappeared. But it was only for a moment, and soon, new flesh swelled up from the depths. Then he was back to normal. Apparently, a large number of undead are insanely compressed into that state. It would be very difficult to completely purify it like this then.
The next moment, I felt a presence at my feet so I braced myself.
What grew out of the ground is a huge “shadow”.
“Uwaa?”
—It was a head of a dragon. However, it emits a terrible rotten stench as its mouth was wide open.
“…… Dragon zombie?”
“I think I forgot to tell you. Until now, all you could see was my upper body. In other owrds, that’s my lower body.”
—I was swallowed whole by a dragon zombie.
