“I’m sorry. Mina seems to have taken a liking to Reus-kun…… She is the youngest so that is maybe why she wants to act like a big sister.”

“Mmm, don’t worry about it.”

The person who apologizes profusely to Fana is the innkeeper who has been taking care of us since we came to this city. Her daughter, Mina, thinks I’m just a normal baby and tries to hold me every time she sees me at the inn. By the way, it is a fairly high-end inn.

“Reus-kun, you’ve grown a little bit again!”

“Auaa”

When she first met me, I was only about three months old. I am now five months old.

I guess it may not be strange if I start talking and walking normally soon.

『Master, it’s still early.』

Sigh, Is it still not good?

“Reus-kun, let’s go to a walk!”

“Auaaa”

Mina walks out with me in her arms. The innkeeper quickly scolds her,

“Hey, Mina, it’s dangerous!”

“No need to worry.”

“But she’s only five years old…. if she drops the baby while holding him, it will be a big deal!”

“It’s okay even if she drops him.”

“Eh?”

The landlady looks at Fana as if what she heard can’t be true.

Well, while we are staying at this inn, I’m playing the role of a normal baby.

“Don’t leave the building, no matter what happens. Do you understand, Mina.”

“Ye~s!”

After reminding her daughter, the innkeeper goes back to work.

Mina then held me carefully and walked around the inn. Fana and Anje on the other hand seemed to be heading back to our room, and they are taking as they walk together.

“This is Mina’s house!”

Before long, I was taken to the house adjacent to the inn. After being shown the rooms, bath, toilets, and other area, I was taken to a room where a feeble old man was sitting on a chair.

“He is Mina’s great-grandfather!”

“Mina, what’s the matter? Oh-……Who is that baby?”

“Uhm, Mina’s younger brother, Reus-kun!”

I turned into a younger brother without my permission.

“Is that a child of a guest? Mina, please be careful not to hurt him, okay?”

“It’s all right, great-grandpa!”

Mina confidently declares as she leaves the room.

……The truth is, I’ve been on the verge of falling off her hand many times since the beginning. I’m escaping such trouble by clinging to her, and I’m even going out of my way to lighten my weight with magic. It is difficult for a five-year-old child to hold a five-month-old baby for a long time after all.

But it would have been better if it was ten years from now. The innkeeper has quite a large one, Mina also had a potential to develop that well in the future.

While I was thinking about this, Mina was out in the garden of the house before I knew it.

Then, a pair of men who came from nowhere, approached us.

“Is this the girl living here?”

“Yes, there is no doubt about that.”

“Who are you Mister?”

The moment Mina tilted her head in confusion, one of the men leapt at her and forcibly covered her mouth with his hand.

“Mmmmmmmmph!?”

He picks Mina up and runs away from the garden as fast as he could.

“Ouch! You dare to bite me!? This brat needs to be quiet!”

“u-!”

He hit Mina. The little girl then faints.

What a cruel bastard!

I secretly cast a healing spell on Mina.

“Hey, look closely, there’s a strange baby with her.…”

“We can take him with us. If all goes well, we might be able to get a ransom from him as well.”

“That’s true…… But how is that baby still sticking to that little girl when she’s unconscious….?”

　　　　◇　◇　◇

“It’s bad! Mina…… Mina is………..!”

The old man, who had witnessed the moment when his great granddaughter was being kidnapped, staggered to his feet in a panic. He was barely able to walk due to his weak legs, but he frantically pushed his old bones and hurried to the inn run by his family.

“Oh, what’s the matter, Grandpa?”

“It’s terrible! Mina is…… Mina has been kidnapped!”

“Whaaat?!”

Before Ark can stop it, Zeta’s sword strikes the hilt of the spear.

Snap!!

The handle was broken in half. On the other hand, Zeta’s sword is completely unharmed. In other words, the sword that Zeta had in her hand was far more powerful than the spear that Ark was using.

“……H-how could this be? It’s a spear made of mithril, right? For it to break that easily….”

Ark was taken aback. His gaze is drawn to the sword in Zeta’s hand.

“W-what’s with that sword……? Is it made of mithril……? But its brilliance is….…”

“That’s one…… Next!”

Ignoring the astonished Ark, Zeta glared at Gain. Wrong, she is glaring at the sword Gain had in his waist.

“Give me that. If you don’t, I’ll slash you to pieces!”

“W-wait……”

Zeta rushed towards Gain without hesitation, so Gain could only hurriedly draw his sword. It was also made of mithril and was forged by Zeta.

Bakiiin!

After he received Zeta’s sword, the sword he was holding was easily cut in two.

“Haa- haa…… Now it’s better.”

Zeta nods in satisfaction. Ark and the others can’t help but be taken aback.

“What a sword…… It could destroy a mithril spear and mithril sword so easily.”

“Oh, don’t worry. This sword is a failure. I’m not going to give it to you.”

「「「Failure!?」」」

Ignoring Ark and the others who were so shocked by her statement, Zeta pulled out something from a bag that appeared to be an item box.

“Alright. Here you go. These are the new sword and spear I have struck.”

With the weapons handed to them, Ark and Gain gasped.

“T-this is….…”

“Amazing……”

The two of them are so fascinated by it that they were at loss for words. Just by looking at it, they could tell that the performance of the weapon in their hands was in an order of magnitude different from the weapons they had been using up to now.

“H-hey, those weapons are even enchanted with magic! And there’s an incredible number of them!?”

It was Emily who exclaimed.

“I’ve never seen this level of magic granted before. Who the hell did you ask to do it?”

“No, I did it too.”

“Y-you did it yourself!?”

“Of course. A true blacksmith should be able to grant magic to their work in their own.”

It was comparable to a legendary weapon. It could even be called a national treasure.

“I’m still a long way to go compared to my master though. But with the current me, I’d say this is a passing grade for me right now.”

「「「This is just at a passing line!?」」」

Although once again shocked, Ark notices a word of interest and pursues it.

“Who is your master by the way?”

“Master is the man who taught me real blacksmithing.”

“Who exactly is he?”

“I’m sorry, but unfortunately, I can’t tell you that. Master doesn’t want to stand out too much.”

Ark, Gain, and Emily looked at each other.

「「「……I think I just heard something similar.」」」

Zeta leaves the room, leaving the three people who looked into each other’s eyes. It seems that she intends to replace and destroy the weapons she has forged in the past and are currently being used by the top adventurers.

Ark muttered as he saw her off.

“If my prediction is correct…… I think the one who taught Colette the mysterious treatment and the one who taught Zeta such blacksmithing is the same person….…”

“Guild Leader…… I agree.”

“……Me too.”

They then mentioned the person that came to their mind.

「「「It’s that super baby.」」」

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

At this time, Reus, aka Super Baby is saying,

“Auaa”

“Alright, alright, Reus-kun, you’re so cute!”

“Auaa”

He was held by a little girl and was acting like a real four-month-old baby. She is a cute little girl who is only about five years old. She seems to think of Reus as a normal baby, and she is happy to stroke his head and pinch his cheeks.

“Reus-kun, have a chat with Mina today too!”

“Auaa”

In fact, this little girl, Mina, is the daughter of the innkeeper where Reus and the others are staying. She often keeps Reus company. However, it is Reus who is really taking care of her.

『That’s great, Master. You got to be held by a cute little girl.”

(Unfortunately, I’m not a lolicon…… I’d rather have the innkeeper to hold me. Her breasts look big.)

When the treatment was over, Gain and the others entered the infirmary and saw the guild leader who looked limp on the bed. For some reason, he is holding his crotch with both hands and his face is red.

“I-, I never thought it would get so big at this age…… Haa~haa……”

“Haa- Haa-…… it’s been a while since I last did some treatment…… It really felt good….…”

Colette, on the other hand, had flushed cheeks and was breathing heavily. They looked like a man and a woman after sex. By the way, Ark is already over 60 despite his appearance, so the ages of the two is not that of a parent and child, but of a grandfather and grandchild.

“So, how is it? I think you should feel the flow of magic better, right?”

“Y-yeah.”

Still holding his crotch, Ark pulls himself up.

“As you have said…… I can feel the flow of magic more clearly than before…… ha!”

Perhaps excited by this, Ark clenches his fists and raises his hands. Everyone’s gaze then focused on his lower body.

「「「Aaah!……」」」

Hastily hiding his bulging lower part, he asked,

“But, how on earth did you come up with such a cure?”

“Uh-that…… I promised, so I can’t tell you…..”

“You mean, you didn’t invent it yourself?”

“Y-Yes……”

Certainly, it is hard to believe that such a young girl would have created such a treatment on her own.

“Then who on earth…… No, wait. Not long ago, that baby was in the city of Volante…… Don’t tell me….…”

At that moment, a thought came to him. Then someone broke his thought,

“Uh-, Excuse me Guild Leader, another guest asks for your audience….”

The staff member from earlier came to inform him.

“Who is it this time?”

“It is Zeta-san, the blacksmith.”

“Zeta?”

She is a female blacksmith that Ark knows well. In this City of Vegaltia, where there are many skilled blacksmiths, she is such a genius that she is said to be at the top at a young age. Although she is a bigoted person who is picky about who she will forge weapon for and who will use her works, most of the city’s A-rank adventurers were indebted to her. The spear and the swords that Ark and the others use as weapons were also forged by her.

“What is she here for?”

“S-she asked me to collect the weapons she made in the past….…”

“What do you mean?”

“Uh-, she said that she would give you a new one for free instead…. She also mentioned that she can’t help but feel ashamed that she was making such a trash weapon without care before so she will take back those trash works……”

The more the receptionist talk, the more Ark doesn’t understand. The others also tilted their head in unison. Zeta’s works were very good for them, and they were all pleased with its performance too.

“She says it is a trash……?”

Ark was also curious about the person who invented the treatment, but he intuitively thought that it would be better to deal with Zeta first.

“For the time being, you can take her to the guild headmaster’s office…… And Colette, right? I’ll talk to you more about this treatment later. Please wait here for a moment.”

After parting from the two girls, Ark, Gain, and Emily returned from the infirmary to the guild leader’s office. Zeta arrived soon after.

“I’ve heard from the staff…… Can you tell us more about it? Honestly, I didn’t really get the point.”

“Yes, but before that, can you show me the spear I made?”

“Huh? Of course I don’t mind……”

Ark hands the spear to Zeta. It’s a spear that was forged about five years ago, and since then, he has been using it for a long time. When Zeta received it, her face contorted greatly.

“Kuu…… What the hell is this crap? …..Tsk! Until now, I’ve been letting my customers use something like this without any hesitation! Ahh…… If there’s a hole, I want to get in……”

Then, as if in anger, she slammed the spear to the ground, and, for some reason, she even drew the sword she had slung at her waist. She then swings it down towards the spear lying on the ground.

“W-Wha-?!”

Ark panicked and held Zeta from behind, somehow holding her back.

Zeta exclaimed.

“Let me go! I’ll give you a proper spear! So let me destroy this thing! My pride can’t allow such a spear to exist!”

“Calm down! I don’t understand what you’re saying! What’s wrong with this spear!?”

“Everything! Kuu! Everything about it is the worst! Nua!”

“….…”

Ark was forcibly shaken off with tremendous force. In the next moment, Zeta’s sword was finally swung down on the spear.

With her master leaving the city of Volante, Colette was left to repair the custormer’s magic circuit all by herself. At first, she was very nervous, but soon, that feeling was blown away. The adventurers who had been treated by her were surprisingly pleased and thankful.

“Thanks to you, Sensei, my rank has increased!”

“Me too! I have been stuck for years, and I thought I have reached my limit…… But after that treatment, I went beyond that limit in no time!”

“My life has changed! I can’t thank you enough, Colette-sensei!”

She has never been pleased and thanked by someone before.

“I…… I myself never thought that I can help people so much……”

Colette is moved that this was her calling. In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that this treatment had changed her own life significantly. She then devoted herself to treatment. She continued to treat adventurers who came to receive her treatment one after another, from morning to night. Money didn’t matter anymore. She just want more people to receive this treatment. As a result of her single-minded perseverance, she quickly completed the treatment of all the adventurers who were based in Volante.

This is also why they came to Vegaltia, which is considered a sacred place for adventurers. There should be more adventurers here after all. Just in case, she asked the guild leader of Volante to write a letter of introduction for her. Then she came directly to the Adventurer’s Guild that governs Vegaltia. Just like in Volante, she wanted to get the Adventurer’s Guild officials to be her backing if possible.

“P-please allow me to treat more people in this city……! Haa- haa- haaa……”

During the journey, Colette feels restless just because she hasn’t been doing the treatment, and her breathing becomes rough. —She was practically addicted.

“N-no need to worry. It’s a reliable treatment, approved by the Guild Leader of Volante.”

As the guild leader backs away, “H-Hey, is this girl alright……?”

Chris hurriedly came to Colette’s aid. She was an adventurer who had been treated by Colette in the city of Volante, and she was about to go to Vegaltia at the same time, so she accompanied Collete as an escort.

“Of course! I’ve taken it too. I can truly say that I’ve changed dramatically.”

“……I-In the meantime, can you tell me exactly what kind of treatment you will administer?”

“Indeed, uhm, it’s a treatment for…… magic circuit.”

After listening to the detailed explanation, Ark mutters with a serious look on his face. At first, he thought it was a dubious story, but when he heard it, it made sense unexpectedly.

“It is true that magical energy has a flow, but I never thought that it would be possible to artificially adjust the flow itself……”

If magic can be handled efficiently, it would be useful not only for magicians, but also for vanguards.

“Okay, then I’ll give it a try first.”

“G-guild leader yourself? No, in that case, we should try it first….”

“There is no need to worry. I’m already retired anyway. I’m more qualified than you guys who have a future.”

Ark volunteered himself to be the test subject. They then left the room. That’s how he ended up getting treatment.

“Haaa……Haaa…. Well, then…… I’m going to start treatment…… Haa..haa……”

“Are you really okay……?”

Looking down at Ark, who was laid half-naked on the bed in the infirmary, the girl snorted excitedly. If the arrangement of the two were reversed, it would surely be unacceptable.

Meanwhile, Gain and the others were kept waiting outside the infirmary.

Chris, a girl who introduced herself as a B-rank adventurer, suddenly said,

“Don’t worry too much if you hear weird voice coming from inside. It’s part of the treatment.”

“……Is it painful?”

“Uwaa-, that might be a little scary.”

“No, it’s not pain. If I’m to say what it is…… It’s pleasure.”

““Eh?””

“Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~~ ♡”

What echoed from inside the room was a sexy voice that could not be attributed to the guild leader.

“…..But who is that baby really? He’s more than I heard from the Guild Leader of Volante.”

“Come to think of it, there has been an increase in the number of adventurers coming to this city from Volante recently.”

Gain nodded at the words of the guild leader, Ark.

“That’s right. It seems that adventurers who didn’t have much of a track record before are suddenly gaining strength and taking on the challenge of this city.”

Vegaltia is a sanctuary for adventurers. While it is a dream destination for many adventurers, it is not very suitable for low-level adventurers to earn a living. Therefore, it was the standard of the adventurer world in this country to gain experience in another place first before taking on this city.

“That’s a good thing in itself but…… obviously, it’s too much.”

“I heard from a guy who came from Volante that there is a treatment there that can easily make you stronger just by taking it.”

“What? Really? That sounds so suspicious….…”

Gain frowns hearing Emily’s story, but Ark seems to have already grasped the information.

“It seems that the adventurers who have recently come to the city from Volante have almost invariably been receiving that treatment.”

“Then, did that really made them stronger……?”

“It’s hard to believe it…… But the head of the Guild of Volante, Dorje, has also reported to me that he has actually become stronger because of it. He even said that he is now in a better shape than when he was younger. He also boldly said that he wants to quit his position as guild leader and become an active adventurer again which troubles him.”

The guild leader of Volante City was a former A-rank adventurer, but he had already retired from active duty for more than a decade.

“Better than his active days…… Just what kind of treatment did he had……?”

If it’s true that one can easily become stronger with that, they think it’s something that everyone should definitely try.

Gain himself is active as an A-rank adventurer, but through the recent incident, he was just keenly aware of his own inadequacy.

“…Excuse me.”

Just then, there was a knock and a staff member enters.

“Guild Leader, a guest is here. What would you like me to do?”

“Guest? I shouldn’t have made an appointment at this time.”

“Yes. That was indeed the case, so I thought I’d just ask about the situation first and let that guest come back later but…… That guest has a letter of introduction from the guild leader of Volante.”

“From Dorje? ……T-this is!?”

Reading the letter of introduction handed to him by the staff, Ark was surprised. Then he excitedly ordered the staff.

“Quickly, lead that guest in here right away!”

“U-Understood.”

Ark then explained to Gain and Emily, who looked at each other wondering what was going on.

“Apparently, the person who is doing the treatment has come to see me.”

““Eh?””

There is a saying that when you spread rumors, their shadow falls. This timing was truly a perfect fit. 

All in all, they couldn’t help but wonder what kind of person was responsible for that treatment and whether there really was such a treatment.

“E-Excuse me……”

—She was a girl who was quite nervous. She was probably in her mid to late teens. 

With a nervous look on her face, she introduces herself.

“U-uhm…… My name is Colette……”

Such a timid girl?

As they wondered, another girl, a tall one, entered the room. This one is also young, but unlike the previous girl, she seems to be more mature. Maybe she’s the person in question.

“……I’m Ark, the Guild Leader here. Are you the guest?”

“No, I’m just her chaperone. I’m Chris. I’m a B-rank adventurer.”

Apparently, it was the first girl. However, the requirements were explained to them by the tall girl who introduced herself as Chris. Colette, a young girl in the city of Volante, has been giving adventurers a “treatment that make people easily stronger”. However, almost all of the adventurers who are already based in Volante had been treated, so it seemed that they had come to Vegaltia in search of a new home.

“Uhm, I…… I want to treat more people……! Haa- haa……”

Ark and the others instinctively backed away as the girl insisted while breathing heavily for some reason.

The undead were torn to pieces, so much that no original form remained. A jet-black staff fell on a horrific plain where corpses lay in pile.

“Bahamut, thanks for your hard work.”

『Master…… Did I do my best……? For Master’s sake I……』

“Yes, you did your best. I can’t believe you completely wiped out all those undead. Bahamut is really great.”

『Fuwaaa…… Master…… I love you so much…….』

“I know. Now, go take a good rest. Good night….”

『Yes, Master…… good night……』

I put Bahamut into subspace as he went into dormant mode.

“Good, now it will be quiet for a while.”

『…… Master is also a thoughtless man huh. 』

While listening to Lindwurm’s muffled voice, I decided to return to the city. On the way, the guards stood stunned on the ramparts.

“H-hey, just what happened……?”

“Just when I thought the horde of undead will attack us, a terrifying dragon appeared….…”

“H-hey, look! Look at the sky!”

Perhaps because the demon died, the effect of his magic wore off. The darkness cleared and the original blue sky returned. When I returned to the square in front of the Adventurer’s Guild, I saw that the battle is still underway.

However, it is almost settled.

“Fana-oneechan, Anje-oneechan, I’m back.”

“Master, welcome back.”

“Hey, is this perhaps because of you?”

Anje pointed to the crumbling skeletons. At this moment, the undead can hardly move.

“Im-impossible…… that person…… the supply of power…… how could…… lose?”

“This skeleton is?”

“The Wight King, formerly Mordea.”

“It seems that he became the Wight King through the power of the mastermind behind this. No matter how many attacks we made on him, he would revive in an instant, but suddenly, he stopped doing so.”

That’s probably because I defeated the demon.

“Did the master do it?”

“I don’t know who that person is, but yeah, I probably did it.”

“I see.”

“……You-, it is your doing again……!? …..Just how much…. interference…… will make you feel at ease……!?”

“You may say so, but it’s never my fault….”

Resentment erupts from Mordea in a form of mist. If I left it alone, it would revive on its own, so I decided to send it to the afterlife.

“Holy Ray”

“Gyaaaaaaa!?”

Mordea completely disappears. Seeing that, Zebra roared, “Damn it!”

“Mordea, you got purified so quickly…… ugu!”

“You’ve caused a lot of trouble. This is the end for you.”

The guild leader declared his end.

“Shit! I won’t die just yet!”

“Do you want to escape?”

Catching up with Zebra, who turned his back and tried to escape, the guild leader beheaded him.

“Reus, purify.”

“Eh? Ah-, y-yes. Holy Ray.”

“Shit! Shit! Shit! Damn iiiiiiiiiit…….aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh……”

Like Mordea, Zebra also vanished.

“Alright, let’s talk about it in detail, Reus.”

“Yes. Uhm, well, I was heading out of the city and a mysterious black dragon flew right in and single-handedly wiped out the hordes of undead.”

“…… Do you recognize that dragon?”

“Ahahaha, there’s no way that would be the case, right? Of course, I don’t know that red dragon. Once it defeated the mastermind demon, it just went away.”

“Then the mastermind this time was a demon?”

“Probably. It transformed into some kind of giant undead. The dragon ate it so I don’t think you can find its remains. But I’ve seen it with my own eyes so I’m sure of it.”

“I see. Then, in the end, Reus haven’t done anything this time huh.”

“Yes, yes. You are right. I just went out of town, hahaha.”

This is what I decided to say. I claimed that it was all the work of a mysterious dragon and pinned the result to it. I think it’s a perfect strategy, but maybe something will be misunderstood….

As I was just a little anxious,

“I see. I understand. There are indeed eyewitness testimonies about a dragon, so that is probably the case.”

Good, apparently, he believed me.

『……Master, do you really think you have deceived them? 』

　　　　◇◇◇

After seeing the baby leave the room, Guild Leader Ark asks the opinion of Gain and Emily, the A-rank adventurers who were present.

“What do you two think?”

“It’s definitely a lie.”

“Yes, that’s a lie.”

“……Well, I guess so too.”

The opinion of the three people were completely unanimous.

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!?”

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.

Under the combined attack of Fana and Anje, the barrier that Mordea had deployed shattered.

“I-impossible……?”

In an unexpected turn of events, the skeleton’s jaws popped open.

“Mmm. As expected from the sword Master made.”

“…… It’s unsystematic after all. He even said that it’s not a big deal because it is just mithril at best.”

The two of them are holding a high-purity Mithril weapon made by Reus. Moreover, it is given various magic spells, and contrary to the creator’s own perception that it is a “weapon of moderate performance”, it is something that easily surpasses national treasure-class weapons.

“B-but that is just a barrier…… Don’t be overconfident…… Black Lightning……!”

A two-pronged black lightning bolt is released from Mordea’s staff, closing in on Fana and Anje. Zzzzit! They simply blocked it with their weapons.

“W-what the……!?”

“Hmm. It is also resistant to lightning strikes.”

“……But I’m sure he said it’s mere enhancement for ease, right?”

Far from ease, the enhancement seemed to have almost nullified the attack. Both of them felt a little stiff.

“Hmm, now it’s our turn.”

“Get ready, you skeleton.”

The two of them leap at Mordea at the same time. Fana’s sword slashed through his right arm holding the staff, and Anje’s fist shattered his left shoulder.

“Fu,fuhiyaa…… Fuhiyahahahaha……!”

But instead of feeling pain, the skeleton snaps its jaws and lets out a loud laugh. Although the undead feel less pain than they used to be, Mordea just laughed at the situation which was quite concerning. Fana and Anje furrowed their eyebrows.

In the next moment, the right arm that was supposed to have been cut off flies and sticks to Mordea again. The shattered bone fragments also gathered together to repair the left shoulder.

“……He recovered.”

“Hey, how long are we going to fight this guy then……!?”

“Hiyahahaha…… That’s right……! No matter what kind of attack I am subjected to…… I’ll live forev—uh!?”

His voice was cut short because Fana had slashed his skull in half. Anje then slams her fist into it, shattering his skull. Not satisfied with that, she trampled on the scattered pieces that fell to the ground and grinded it.

“Hmm, how about this?”

“It’s not going to be easy for him this time….…”

That expectation was naïve though. The bones that have turned into dust quickly converged and regenerate into the head of the skeleton again.

“I see…. Then I’ll lock you in the wall! Earth Wall!”

This time, Anje created a wall of dirt to bury the skull that Fana had slashed off. It should be impossible for the head to return to the body, she thought.

But—

“Huh!? What is this mist……!?”

A suspicious black mist seeps out of the dirt wall and then it gathers on the severed surface of Mordea’s neck. It formed a skull and eventually, Mordea retured to his original state.

“Hiyahahaha…… It’s futile..… I can revive many times…… as much as I want……!”

There is no point in separating and confining his body parts.

“…How can we beat that guy!”

“Hmm, this is bad.”

Even though it was tough, all they can do is attack. Then, with a storm of fury, they attacked Mordea. Bone fragments were scattered over and over again, sometimes the torso and neck were cut in half. However, it was quickly repaired. They felt their mana draining too. But on the other hand, while Mordea is repairing himself, the regeneration speed of the other undead will slow down somewhat. That may be the reason why he went out of his way to put up a barrier.

With Fana and Anje making an onslaught on Mordea, the adventurers, who had been outnumbered, were barely recovering.

“Damn it, Mordea! What are you doing? My regeneration can’t catch up!”

Zebra is irritated. But it’s only a matter of time.

“Kuu….. I can’t get away….. with this either!”

“Hn……”

“Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do…… This barely-maintained equilibrium…. will eventually come to a limit…… or collapse…… In this case,…. should I swallow up the hordes of undead….. from outside the city first……?”

Right after Mordea spoke boldy, his bones suddenly stopped repairing itself.

“……Huh?”

“I-it won’t go back?”

“-ugh…..W-what….. happened?”

Jerky, Mordea’s opened his jaw.

“W-wha-….. I-impossible….. There is no way he will be….…”

Gakiiin!

The slash from Zebra’s body was barely parried by Ark with the hilt of his spear.

“……Impossible! You can still move in such a state!?”

“Kuhahahahaha!”

In front of the astonished Ark, Zebra’s head flew through the air. Just like that, it gets on top of the detached body.

“….What!?”

It stuck together in no time. There is not even a scar on his neck.

“Kukuku, this is awesome, Mordea. With your power, even if I get decapitated, I’ll be back to normal in an instant.”

“……That’s why I told you…… At that time, you acted on your own…… If you did not do so…… the guild leader could definitely be killed……”

Then Mordea rattled his jaws as if laughing.

“Fufufu, as you can see…… As I have the power of the Wight King…… No matter what kind of injury I, Mordea receives…… it could be back to normal in an instant……”

“Tsk! You can’t be serious..…”

Zebra now turned into a troublesome undead. With Mordea’s presence, he is almost invincible when it comes to instantaneous regeneration. That wasn’t the only troublesome thing though.

“W-what the hell are these guys!?”

“Their injuries are healed so soon!?”

The adventurers, who had already clashed with the other undead, screamed. No matter what kind of attack the undead took, their wounds regenerate in an instant.

“Of course……it isn’t just Zebra…… with this power…… it is possible to instantly…. regenerate all of them….at the same time……”

Being undead doesn’t mean they are immortal. Normally, if their head is crushed or their body is dismembered, they will stop moving. But as long as Mordea becomes the Wight King, the undead here can continue to fight forever.

“Is that even possible!?”

“N-no, then there’s only one thing we can do……”

“Yeah. We just have to kill him first!”

The adventurers rushed to Mordea all at once. They all thought that if they could defeat Mordea, they would be able to stop the instantaneous regeneration of the undead.

“Kuu….But to break through this number…..”

“Damn it! I can’t even get close!”

However, as if to stand in their way, one after another, the undead blocked their way. Among them are the former adventurers who belonged to Rebellion, and because they are now an undead, they attack without remorse. Still, there were adventurers who pushed off these powerful undead and made it to Mordea. They are A-rank adventurers Gain and Emily.

“Haaaaaa!”

“Ice Needle!”

Gain’s sword and Emily’s magic approached Mordea from both sides.

“Wha-!?”

“Eo-!?”

—However, their attack was stopped just right in front of Mordea.

“This is….…”

“Barrier!?”

“Fufufu…… did you really think…… I would expose myself…… without any precautions…..?”

Gain and the others recalled Mordea’s character when he was still alive. The elf, who held the post of deputy guild head, was a cautious and cunning man. Apparently, that doesn’t change even if he became an undead.

“What a hard barrier……!”

“I doesn’t look like it’ll break at all!”

The two of them tried to break it many times, but the barrier that Mordea developed did not even budge.

“Fufufu, it’s futile…… With that level of power…. it will be impossible to break my barrier…… However,…… it’s an eyesore if…. you keep hammering there, right?”

Right after saying that, Mordea wielded his staff and then a black lightning shot out. It slips through the barrier and hits Gain and Emily directly.

““Aaaaaaahh!?””

Burned by black lightning, the two of them fall to their knees on the spot.

“Damn it…… his magic is more powerful than when he was alive?”

“Uwaaa, I’m numb!”

At that time, help came to them.

“Are you okay?”

“…… It looks like this elf has gotten much stronger when he became a skeleton.”

They are Fana and Anje.

Knowing that as long as they don’t destroy that barrier, they can’t do anything to Mordea, both of them raised their weapons and kicked the ground as hard as they could.

“I’m going all out.”

“I won’t lose!”

“Fu, fufu…… Little girls,…..there is no way…… you could break my barrier… you are j—”

Parriiiiiiiiiiin!

“—Huh?”
