Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up

Chapter 46 : It Was Absolute Immortality

===A Certain Female Holy Knight===

The divine sword Albert became even stronger with a tremendous amount of faith.
With such a powerful sword in her hand, Commander Celestia then leaped toward the white-haired undead.

On the other hand, the said undead didn’t even move an inch from where he stood.
The same as he did when we, the holy knights, attacked him with our holy lances back then.

「HAAAAH!」

The commander’s sword struck right into the crown of the undead’s head.

I unintentionally averted my gaze upon seeing that.
Nearly half of his head had vanished due to that attack.
As expected, not even that guy would be able to survive from such a terrifying strike.

「Tch… Only this level of damage…」

But the commander ended up as the one who got shocked.
She probably expected her attack to do more damage.

Even those of us who saw that scene couldn’t believe what we saw.
The white-haired undead’s head regenerated in a blink of the eye, completely unscathed.

And yet, for some reason, I felt relieved upon seeing that.

「Moreover, that regeneration power… Guess I can’t underestimate you, huh…!」

It seemed the commander had raised her vigilance against the undead before her.
She then ordered the priests.

「Everyone, give me more of your faith’s power! This great disaster, our enemy might have an incredible self-healing power and an extremely tough body, but our previous attack definitely worked on him! Together, we can exterminate him!」

The divine sword shined even brighter as well.

「HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

…And leaped toward the white-haired undead again.
She drove an all-out attack toward the undead’s right flank.

That attack erased the upper half of the white-haired undead’s body.
It left behind only his lower half, and his head was blown up in the air.

「D-Did we… beat him?」

A holy knight muttered this.

He might have an extremely tough body, but no matter how tough his body, there was no way he could survive from the attack that erased more than half of his body.
Or so I thought―

「HEY, I’M OVER HERE!」

His head that was rolling on the ground suddenly shouted vigorously at us.

「「「~?!」」」

Even the most devout priests stopped their prayers upon seeing that scene.

Naturally, I was equally surprised too.
I-IT SPOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

No, he wasn’t just speaking.
Don’t tell me, he could still speak even when he was in that kind of condition…

But that was only an appetizer for our shock.
Just when I was wondering in shock, his upper-half had already regenerated.
His regenerated body then walked to pick its lively, decapitated head and placed it back in its proper place.

The connected part healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
And then, his figure returned to where it was before the commander attacked, as if such an attack was nothing to him.

「S-Such… healing power…」

Even the commander was shaken by the white-haired undead terrifying regeneration power.

「Haa~h, haa~h… I-I’M NOT DONE YET! He shouldn’t be able to revive again as long as we annihilate his body until there’s no spec of dust left! Now, once again, give your prayers! Let’s… show him the power of our faith!」

O-Oh no!

As her little sister, I knew what was going to happen.
The commander’s―no, my big sister’s—body had reached its limit.

If she forced herself to use more of the divine sword’s power, she might die before she could purify the white-haired undead.
Before I realized it, I was already sprinting toward her.

「COMMANDER!」
「Limule… step back!」
「B-But… y-you’re pushing yourself too far, while it’s true that the divine sword Albert bestowed its user with transcendental power, it also put an equal burden on its user! Anymore than this and… your body will…」
「Don’t… worry! I’ll… exterminate him before that happens…!」

The commander pushed me—who tried to stop her—aside.
She leaped toward the white-haired undead while raising a hysterical cry.

「HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

In the next moment, a terrifying amount of holy power exploded along with an extremely loud sound.
My vision was dyed white.

The first thing I saw when I regained my vision was… that.

「Did he… completely vanish?」

The figure of white-haired undead had vanished from the plaza.

「Fu-fufufu… with this… he won’t be able to resurrect again…」

The commander, who fell to her knees, was laughing with a trembling voice.

「「「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!」」」

Immediately after, the priests raised cheerful cries.

「We beat the No Life King!」
「We won!」
「No, it’s our god’s victory!」

Everyone cheered joyfully as they praised the god.

「We did it, Captain Limule.」
「Y-You’re right.」

I gave a vague reply to my vice captain, Porm, who came to greet me.

…Was this really okay?

No, I should be glad.
I tried to persuade myself.

The other party was an undead.
He was an evil existence that might bare his fangs against humanity someday.

That was why he had to be purified.
As a holy knight who served God, I should feel delighted from the bottom of my heart for our victory.

At that moment…
RIPRIPRIP! I turned around hearing that conspicuous sound, only to be greeted by such an unbelievable scene.

Before I realized it, the bones of the white-haired undead fell to the ground where he stood before.
In addition, those bones were growing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

His innards, muscles, and tendons were also regenerated right after that.
As if the joy from before was a lie, every single person in this place was dumbfounded upon seeing the white-haired undead resurrect in the blink of an eye.

And then, when his eyes snapped open, he raised his upper-half with a frown on his face.

「Kuh…」
「C-Commander?!」
「U-Unbelievable… To be able to resurrect… from such a state… Just… how in the world… are we going to purify… this undead…?」

The commander spoke with a trembling voice, face filled with the color of despair.

Even that headstrong sister of mine broke when faced with the white-haired undead’s immortality…
But there was nothing wrong with her reaction.
Because the result of her last attack—with her life on the line—was a failure.

As I thought, defeating this white-haired undead might be proven too much for us.

Since things already developed to this stage, this was the right moment to prove my theory.
When I was about to approach the white-haired undead for a dialogue…

Suddenly, the surroundings turned dark.
Someone who looked up ended up saying 「Eh」.

Lured by that, I raised up my face and was also at a loss for words.
The thing floating in the air was a giant golden dragon who raided the Romana Kingdom’s royal capital―the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

Could it be that the white-haired undead had really turned the Thunder Dragon Emperor… into his familiar?
I thought it was just a rumor since the information that I received about the white-haired undead was the fact that he always acted by himself, but…

「T-Thunder Dragon Emperor?!」
「Could it be…?」
「E-EH, ANOTHER DRAGON?!」

The thing that drove us even further into the abyss of despair was another giant shadow above the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

The size of the other dragon was comparable to that of the Thunder Dragon Emperor.
Its silhouette was thinner than Thunder Dragon Emperor’s, but its overall length surpassed that of the Thunder Dragon Emperor.
Its jet-black scales that covered its long body reflected the sunlight, adding an ominous element to it.

「D-Darkness Dragon… Emperor?」

That was the name of the other Dragon Emperor whose strength rivalled that of the Thunder Dragon Emperor.

Its threat level toward humans was really low since it chose to live deep in the bottom of the valley.
However, that didn’t mean that it was weaker.
Thunder Dragon Emperor aside, why is the… Darkness Dragon Emperor in this place too?

『Found you, Master.』
『We won’t let you go this time, Master!』

The two dragons descended to the ground.
Their overwhelming presence alone was enough to knock the priests in the plaza to the ground, all the while they foamed bubbles from their mouths.

Even the holy knights could do nothing but remain rooted in place.
It was already an incredible feat, since any normal person could barely stay conscious in that kind of situation.

『Uhm? What’s this barrier?』
『Are they trying to lock you up in this barrier, Master?』
『WHAT! HOW DARE YOU LOW-LIFES DO THAT TO MASTER!』

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

The Thunder Dragon Emperor raised an enraged roar.
…And then pounded at the barrier.

BAKIN!!!
The barrier could barely withstand the dragon’s first strike.

『YOU THINK THIS PUNY BARRIER CAN STOP MEEEE?!』

The barrier was completely shattered when the Thunder Dragon Emperor stomped on the barrier with her foreleg, clad in purple lightning.

The Thunder Dragon Emperor’s foreleg then landed on the ground, bringing about a small-scale earthquake.
Landing slightly behind her with a defeaning roar was the Darkness Dragon Emperor.

『It’s nice to meet you again, dear Master.』
『You’re as cool as usual, Master.』

For a moment, I had no idea what those dragons were talking about.
But the moment I saw the two most powerful dragons cast affectionate gazes toward the being in front of them, the white-haired undead, I fully understood what they meant.
