Chapter 65: Invasion
Once again, I'm amazed and grateful for this strong body.
Horses are probably faster than me
But I can run day and night
I can keep running without needing to eat and sleep
I feel tired
But it's not unbearable.
On the third day, I pass through the last forest on my way to the Royal Capital.
I hear a loud noise from the direction of the Royal Capital.
It's too far away to make out what it is.
But something is definitely happening.
I pick up speed even faster.
I crossed the last hill
From there, I can see the capital.
A large number of figures crowded the gate
"Human? No... undead!"
Stabbed and slashed by the soldiers, but they are not intimidated, they continue their invasion.
“I'll kill you all at once!”
Oddly enough, it was a pincer attack.
I connected the large swords and mow down sideways with all my might.
The corpse must have been dead for quite some time, because it bursts open like a water balloon and blows away.
"Who are you!"
“I'm a soldier of Count Sermus, what’s the situation!”
"Count... since five nights ago, the undead have suddenly sprung up and swept in here."
No wonder it was so rotten, it was five days ago.
"Is it the work of a necromancer?"
"It seems that the mages were not able to confirm the magic circle."
The corpses are still here
Even if I counted lightly, I can see 300 figures
It's impossible for something like this to naturally occur.
"Anyway, we're all tired, but we're doing well. After all, they're just human undead."
"Where did these guys come from?"
"From a graveyard in a nearby village, I think?"
I have a bad feeling about this.
"There's a cemetery in the royal capital!"
"Ah, shit! There too!?"
It was too late for me and the soldiers to realize
I could see it from a distance.
I saw one of the windows of the royal castle shattered.
"Send some troops to the cemetery inside! I'm heading to the castle!"
"Damn it! I'm sorry, please protect the king."
"Leave it to me!"
-------------
"King! You're safe!"
"Shiro-dono!"
The King and his guard were confronted by something before them.
At first glance, it appeared to be a human undead.
But it was clearly bigger.
"Shi is here... Shi is here!"
"Did it talk?"
"Shiro-dono! It can use magic!"
"You too... I want it"
The palm facing me glows.
A huge, dense, mana comes flying at me.
"Twisted Wall!"
I activated a magic shield to block it.
I'm not letting my guard down.
I block it with everything I've got.
"Guah!"
Still, my magic shield was knocked away.
"Strong... strong... I want... I want."
"I don't give a shit about this guy! King! The window on the east side of the 4th floor is broken. What's over there!"
"East on the 4th floor! It's the room where the children took refuge!"
Damn it!
"Child... child... I want... you too... I want"
"Shut the hell up! Dead people should return to the dirt!"
You want a child?
Is the aim the crown prince!?
There's no need to hesitate.
I slash with all my might
The giant undead blocked it.
"Weak... Shi... still weak"
"Is that so? You two, I'm going to use fire magic!!"
"G-get ready!"
It's strong, it has tough skin, it can use magic, it's intelligent, and it doesn't seem to feel pain.
But it's a living being. If so...
"You have soft eyes, right! You rotting corpse!"
A huge eyeball on the huge face
I punch that place with all my might and poke it up to my wrist
"Sacred Flame!"
I unleash magic inside the enemy
Sacred Flame
It is a slow-ejecting fire magic.
It shoots a very small fireball that bursts into flames in about three seconds.
"Ooooohhhh!"
The corpse spews fire violently from every hole in its body.
No matter how strong it is, its moving parts must be soft.
If that part burns or is damaged, it is the end. It's just like the synthetic dragon.
"I'll leave the fire extinguishing to you guys! I'm going to the 4th floor!"
No time to look back
I went up to the fourth floor, believing they heard my words.
"Crown prince!"
On the 4th floor, there were the Prince and the Marquis' son trembling in the corner of the room.
"I'm glad you're okay!"
It can't be.
I thought the enemy was aiming at the crown prince, so I only checked him.
"Sedona is...?"
No sign of Sedona
The child's words confirmed it.
"Sedona! The leader! They took them!"
"Shiitt!"
