A huge body emerged from the ground. It is the body of a dragon zombie, the upper body of an undead titan rests on its back. It looked just like a centaur as a whole. With that dragon lower body, the demon swallowed the mysterious baby. He chuckled, muttering,
“It was quite an interesting baby for a human. I’ll add it to my undead subordinates later.”
Then he looked towards the city.
“…… But it’s weird though. Before I know it, that ancient dragon is gone? However, most of the undead I had prepared were wiped out as well…. It will take a lot of effort to regenerate them. ……No, it’s been a long time since I turned to this form. Maybe it’s not a bad idea to go on a rampage myself.”
Then, when the demon was about to head towards the city,
“Hmm? What’s going on? I can’t move my lower body?”
The dragon zombie that forms his lower body suddenly won’t move. The demon tilted his head in confusion.
“Aaaaaaa……!”
The dragon zombie writhed in agony and opened its mouth. At the same time, a brilliant light leaks out.
“T-this is…… Purifying light…..? Impossible……”
“Oaaaaaaa!?”
The dragon zombie ignored the control of the demon and goes on a rampage.
Dobooooon!
In addition, a part of its belly explodes. Then a small shadow that was covered with the light of purification pops out of it.
—It’s the baby he mentioned earlier.
Then, before he knew it, a huge sword was in the baby’s hand.
“……Fuu. That was a great save, Lindwurm.”
◇◇◇
Swallowed by the dragon zombie, I put up a barrier around me as I rolled down the rotten esophagus.
“Oops, the barrier is being eroded more and more.”
The dragon zombie’s gastric juices have turned into a deadly poison, I don’t know how much longer will my barrier last.
“Even if it’s rotten, it’s still a dragon so it would be best to forcibly rip out its belly and escape from there. It will take a long time to purify it too……”
It would have been different if Bahamut was at hand. I asked Bahamut to clean up the zombies outside though.
“There’s nothing I can do…….Let’s pretend so…..”
I pulled out my other wand from subspace.
“Good morning, Linlin. It’s about time you wake up, right?”
『……』
“Eh? Linlin? He~y.”
『……』
“No answer? This is strange…. I think you’ve slept enough though. I mean, I thought Linlin is about to wake up soon, so that’s why I left Bahamut behind.”
Lindwurm didn’t even reply with a yes or no, so I got a little anxious.
“W-wait…. Doesn’t this mean, I’m in a pinch? Mmm, let’s see…… I don’t think it’s possible to get out of its mouth…… Maybe the anal route is the only last resort? I’m small so that should be fine… but…. Linlin might get stuck?”
『Please put me away in the subspace! 』
“What, you’re awake after all.”
『……It’s because no matter how many times I ask Master to change the way you call me, you just won’t change it. 』
As usual, Lindwurm doesn’t seem to like being called Linlin. I think it’s cute though.
“Okay, Lindwurm. As you can see, I’m in a slight pinch, so please help me.”
『Got it. 』
Lindwurm opened his mouth and let out a breath of light. Originally, Lindwurm is an ancient dragon with Holy Attribute. That means that his breath is also tinged with holy attribute. If the undead eat such a thing from the inside, it can’t put any resistance for a while.
And as expected, the dragon zombie went on a rampage.
“Alright, Lindwurm, change to sword mode.”
『Understood.』
Lindwurn then switched from a staff to a sword, and his breath smashed the weakened belly from the inside. Of course, the sword itself is a holy attribute, so it will be more powerful than usual.
Dobooooon!
As we rushed out, the dragon zombie writhed in agony, and the demon buried in the giant’s forehead was stunned.
“Y-you are still alive……!? What’s more, that sword…… uha!?”
“Alright, now the table has turned.”
“S-stop it….. D-don’t come…… Don’t bring that closer to meeeee…… uwaaa!”
For an undead demon, Lindwurm is his natural enemy. Perhaps instinctively understanding this, the demon’s teeth chattered in fear.
『That’s totally vexing. In fact, it is me who doesn’t want to get close to it! 』
“Hii……Uhiiiiiiiiiiiii!”
The undead titan turns around and tries to escape, but alas, the dragon zombie in its lower half was totally out of control.
Without wasting more time, I kicked the ground and jumped up. Then from above, I swing Lindwurm down towards the giant’s head.
“N-nooo, Stoooooooooooo—uah!?”
