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

Chapter 69: It Pissed Me Off



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

「U~hm, my body is fine, but the same can't be said about my clothes… should I do something about it…」

After I got away from the crowd, I entered the quietest alley I could find, walking toward the rampart while trying to hide my white hair as much as possible with my tattered hood.

And then, I saw four men standing before me as if trying to block my way.

「…Stop right there.」

One of them spoke with a command-like voice.

Seeing their faces, it seemed they were not the type that I could reason with.

Well, they might be adventurers.

One man with a hairdo that stood on its end was carrying a huge sword on his back.

And then, there was also a petite, girl-like thief and a giant over two meters tall.

The last one was a face that I saw a while ago.

「…Ah, you're…」

He was the young man who told me about the direction to the port city a while ago.

He seemed to be in a hurry. Could it be that he actually made a mistake when he told me the direction before?

Appearance-wise, he looked like a kind young man, but seeing his current appearance, that didn't seem to be the case.

That young man opened his mouth with a tense look on his face.

「You're… that No Life King, right?」

No Life King.

Currently I was labeled by the world as a dangerous being with such a name.

I then recalled the hero king's remark.

―You're a disaster-class monster after all. Anyone who manages to subjugate you will gain gold and glory. Thus, the young, hot-blooded adventurers will surely try to subjugate you.

Oh cr*ap… of all people, I somehow ended up asking direction from a young adventurer who wanted to hunt me down.

His sweat at that time might be because he realized my identity.

「…」

「Those eyes and hair. No doubt about it.」

「Not saying anything means that you can't refute, huh!」

「Gahahaha! he doesn't seem to be that powerful though!」

They were brimming with fighting spirit.

But didn't they realize that this is… right in the middle of a city?

What should I do now…

Did they realize that I was not a dangerous undead?

LIKE HELL.

Though my communication disorder needed resolution to greet someone like before, this situation wouldn't allow me to explain anything.

Moreover, the other party had already completed their combat preparation.

In short, there was only one choice left.

Yes, I should escape.

I mean, it was not like I had a reason to fight them to begin with.

Since that was the case, why should I accompany them in their own farce.

Thus, when I was ready to escape…

「This is a greeting from me! Tornado Snake (Spiral Serpent Slash)!」

The blade became faster and faster with each rotation, shaving the ground and wall, and then it unleashed a shockwave-slash toward me.

That level of attack was far from enough to even tickle my body.

But taking that on might have destroyed my clothes at once and left me literally naked in broad daylight. Thus, I dodged it as fast as I could.

「Tch! Did you dodge it?!」

The shockwave of his slash passed through right below me and continued just like that toward the street―

「…!」

At that moment, I noticed my error.

Over there was the figure of the mother and child who I just saved from a burning house a while ago.

It seemed the child had already woken up.

And then, they seemed to chase after me to thank me.

But their timing couldn't be even worse as that shockwave headed straight toward them.

「Oh no, they're going to get hit!!」

「It can't be helped, we're fighting in the middle of the city after all. Our opponent is the No Life King, after all. We've got to expect some sacrifices.」

「HAH! In short, we're going to rampage in the middle of the city!」

The way they spoke really pissed me off.

Hey, hey, hey, I don't care even if you attacked me since I'm an undead, but don't attack innocent people, you a*ssholes.

I guess this wasn't the time to be a pushover in front of these jerks.

In the next moment, I went after the shockwave that I dodged.

I focused all my mana into my feet, kicking the shockwave.

DOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!

The shockwave was repelled and dispersed.

Although cracks ran down the buildings and street since the aftermath of my kick created a shockwave and gale, the pair of mother and child only fell lightly on their rears.

「…Hey.」

As expected, I was really pissed off by those a*ssholes, so I turned around and glared at them.

Those adventurers flinched and screamed 「Hii」, the moment I called them.

「Hahaha, I see now, so this is the thing you're talking about, huh… My body can't stop trembling! Hey, Belleaile, what do you s— Eh?」

The pointy-haired one turned around, calling at the young man in robes.

Color drained from the young man's face.

「I-Impossible… does that mean his ability is far superior than this bracelet?」

「…? What do you mean Belleaile? Why are you trembling like a newborn calf too? Does that mean your equipment is ineffective?!」

「M-My, apologies…」

「Eh, seriously?! What are we going to do then?!」

「Uuhm, this is completely beyond our expectation.」

「W-Worry not! A-As long as we know that this fear that we feel is a mere illusion, we should be able to resist it…!」

They seemed to be in some sort of trouble, but it was not like I cared about it.

They were probably youngsters who got blinded by gold and glory to the point that they chose to rampage in the middle of the city, but I was not such a naive hu―cough—I mean undead.

「…If it's fight that you want… let's take it outside…」

I closed the distance with them with a single step.

「…Eh?」

I quickly grabbed on the head of the pointy-haired one, who was still dumbfounded by my sudden action, and threw him out of the city.

「UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!」

「「「ILRAN?!」」」

Then, I grabbed the giant.

Since I couldn't hold him by his collar since he was way too tall, I grabbed him by his belt and threw him out of the city just like his comrades.

「NUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!」

「「RONDA?!」」

I seized the robed man’s collar and threw him out just like his previous two comrades.

「~~~~~??!」

「BELLEAILE?!」

The last person was a… g-girl?

Uhm, yeah, I should spare the girl.

「S-S-STOP!… Eh?」

I left her and jumped toward the direction where the other three were thrown.
