===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===

 

A single horseman separated himself from the army and went toward me.

The rider of that horse was an old man.
Judging from his equipment, I was sure that his rank was really high amongst those in the army.

Why did came forward by himself?

No, I should get away from this place first.

Thus, I turned around… and ran.

「W-WAIT A MINUTE?! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING?!」

Although I seemed to hear such a voice, I ignored it and kept running.

Even so, wasn’t he, like, way too fast?

I mean, that horse could still run that fast despite having a fully armed man riding on its back.

Nevertheless, there was no way I was going to lose in terms of speed.

It seems they were about to give up soon after seeing that they couldn’t chase after me, rather, the distance between us kept widening.

But at that moment…

SWOOSH!

「??!!」

Right after I felt something pass right below my head, my head had already beheaded.

It felt like my head was going to be separated from my body if I didn’t do something about that.

My intuition was spot on.

My head was lopped clean off by some means which I had no idea about.

Naturally, I didn’t feel pain either due to my nature as an undead.
In addition, my head returned to its place in less than a second.

Even if I released my hand, which kept my head in place, my head would remain on my neck like nothing had happened.

Was that done by that old man?

Rather, was this the first time I received real, proper damage?

It seemed this body wasn’t truly invincible.

But of course, I would be happy if only that invincibility would disappear altogether.

「No, no, no, that means I have a way too powerful regeneration ability on top of an almost invincible body…」

I mean, my head reconnected the moment it went flying off.
Was there really a way to kill someone with such an insane regeneration ability?

Anyhow, after running for a while, the old man had finally given up on chasing after me and went back to his army.

「Fuuh, I guess I’m safe for now…」

I stopped running and heaved a sigh.

At that moment…

―RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

「W-What happened?」

As I wondered this, a flash of brilliant light erupted from the direction behind me.
Following that was a thunderous sound.

When I turned around to see the situation, I saw the mysterious flying ship had fallen, and a giant monster danced in the sky with the flap of its wings.

「Dra… gon?」

The dragon with golden scales went toward the city, its tail fluttering in the air as the dragon maneuvered in the sky.

In the next moment, the dragon fired a lightning breath from its mouth.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

Judging from its sound, it was a more powerful breath than the one used to hit that flying ship.

But for some reason, the lightning breath was stopped by something.

At that moment, I heard a sound similar to broken glass.

Following that breaking sound, the dragon went into the city.

「Eh, that… looks dangerous.」

Even if that metropolis was protected by numerous soldiers, they were still no match against that giant dragon.

But the dragon flew away from the city as fast as it came and flew to the west.

「Eh… what’s that?」

When I was still dazed by such a sigh…
「GURUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

「Uwaa, did it… come back?」

It came back to the city.

Was it going to destroy that city?

But then, there was something standing between the giant dragon and the city.
That something challenged the giant dragon to a battle.

It was the same old man who was chasing after me from before.

To my surprise, that old man could fight on par against the dragon all by himself.

Although I knew that dragon was super strong, I never expected that old man—a human—could match that dragon’s power.

In the first place, one needed to have monstrous skills to be able to send a flying slash.

In short, the one who beheaded me a while ago was none other than that old man.

Moreover, the old man’s flying slash was also the thing that dismembered the dragon’s wing.

The second round of their battle began after the dragon fell on the ground.

But that old man was struggling in vain because the dragon, who easily sent him flying with a sweep of its foreleg.

D-Did he… die?

No, he barely survived that blow.

I went toward him as soon as I noticed that he was still alive.

I sprinted at full speed for the first time ever since I regained my ego.

The ground I stepped caved in with each step, and the place I passed was struck by a powerful gale.

Although I arrived at the old man’s location in the blink of an eye, I barely made it in time.

Yes, I barely stopped right before I trampled over that old man.

The old man, who had yet to give up, seemed to be trying to use the potion.

Okay, leave it to me.

I snatched the potion bottle from the old man’s hand while speaking to myself.

The old man made an “OH SHIT!” face when I took the potion from his hand and poured its contents in him.

But no amount of potion would be enough to heal his severe wound.

… Couldn’t be helped.

Leave this place, old man.
Let me handle that dragon for the time being.

When I signaled with my eyes―telling him to run―the dragon had already arrived right in front of me.

「… AH.」

「GURUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Weren’t you moving way too fast, dragon-san?!

It raised its foreleg and swung it down toward me.

GAN!

It… wasn’t heavy at all.

I mean, it was just strong enough to create a small crack on my neck bone (which healed in less than a second), and my feet sunk into the ground.

Could it be that this dragon was… actually pretty light?

I caught the dragon’s foreleg, which stepped on my head.

There was something that I wanted to try, but… I should get away from this place for now.

BWOSH BWOSH BWOSH!

I tried to swing around the dragon by its foreleg.

Then, the dragon’s body was whipped around in a circle, my hand at the center.

As I thought, this dragon was way lighter than its appearance.

If that was the case… HOOPLA!

「GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR?!」

When I let go of the dragon’s foreleg, it flew really far away and crashed with a loud cry.

I went after it as soon as it landed on the ground.

It turned out that the dragon had gotten to its feet, firing its lightning breath at me.

I charged into that lightning breath, not even trying to dodge it.

SESHHHHHHHHHHH!

My clothes evaporated in less than a second after being exposed to the lightning breath.
In addition, my skin—which could withstand the heat of my fireball—was scorched too.

But of course, it healed right away, just like before when it was scorched by the fireball.

… My clothes burned to ashes though.

Basically, I ended up in my birthday suit since I recklessly charged into that lightning breath.

Fortunately, there was no one around this area, but it was still really embarrassing to fight the dragon when I was completely naked like this.
Thus, I leaped into the dragon’s mouth, which was wide open after it fired its breath.

The inside of the dragon’s throat was extremely hot due to its lightning breath.

A normal human would die in this kind of situation, but fortunately, such heat didn’t even affect my body.

After I entered the dragon’s throat, I punched the ceiling where its head should be located.

The fleshy wall instantly burst open, drenching me in blood and mincemeat.

「AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!」

Following that, the dragon let out a painful wail.

It was suffering while wriggling around.

As I bounced around in its body, I grabbed the closest meat wall and sent forth numerous punches.

… It was tougher than that giant tarrasque.

Nevertheless, my punches relentlessly hit the dragon’s body, and finally, it shattered its skull.

By the time its brain juice rained down on me, the dragon had stopped moving.

「… Looks like it’s finally dead.」

I was extremely confident with that fact since I was an undead.

I never expected that the day in which I slayed a giant dragon like this would come in this way… Maybe that was just how powerful I had become.

Nevertheless… what should I do now?

I was stark naked right now.

Yes, like hell I could walk around like this.

Although I’d already become an undead, I retained my sense of shame.

「If only this dragon would come back to life, it would be able to carry the naked me somewhere on its back… Well, it’s not like that gonna happen, though.」

And, at that moment…

I heard a mysterious voice resounding in my head.

『―Our master』

I snapped back immediately, wondering about the owner of that voice.

Could it be… this dragon?
