Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up - Chapter 47
Chapter 47 : Barely Escaped
The two giant dragons descended into the royal capital’s plaza.
But even such a terrifying figure was devoid of the life force that should exist in all living beings.
No way, they were already… undead?
Did that white-haired undead turn the Thunder Dragon Emperor… into an undead?
Their sharp eyes looked at us as we trembled uncontrollably.
『Were you the ba*stard who treated our master so rudely?』
『Shall I kill you to cleanse your sins?』
Waves of killing intent pressed upon us.
That terrifying killing intent made me lose the will to resist, and I fell on my butt.
Every single one of the priests was already unconscious, and none of the holy knights could stand on their own feet under such terrifying killing intent.
In that situation, the only one who could still stand on their own feet was none other than Commander Celestia.
As expected of the commander…
She didn’t lose her fighting spirit even in this kind of situation.
And then, I noticed.
…A puddle of water had formed below the commander’s feet.
Did she just, lea― No, it must be just my imagination. Yes, that must be her sweat.
No doubt about it… Gosh, I hope it’s sweat.
「I-Impossible, he… even turned two dragon emperors into his familiars…」
『Huh? Have you lost the will to resist us already?』
『Yup, let’s kill.』
「Hiiiiiiiiii…..」
Maybe because her trembling legs couldn’t support her anymore, the commander’s legs finally gave in. She flopped on the ground.
The puddle of water beneath her expanded, becoming even bigger than before.
Which was then followed by the unique smell of THAT.
No matter how much I tried to deny it, that was definitely not sweat.
My sister was someone who was admired by many believers, whether due to her position as the daughter of the current pope or as the commander of Albert’s Holy Knight Order.
If this scene were to seen by the priests, the shock they felt might be enough to shake their faith.
…Fortunately, most people in this plaza were already unconscious.
No, in the first place, I doubt we could come out alive from this pinch.
Just one dragon breath from these two great disaster-level dragon emperors was enough to wipe us out, including this world from the world map.
Worst of all, we might end up becoming familiars of that white-haired undead’s familiar as well.
…Wait a minute.
That white-haired undead… was gone?
That guy had escaped from where he stood a moment ago.
Even the dragon emperors finally noticed his disappearance a moment later.
『…Uh? M-master?!』
『Where are you going?』
『Ah, over there!』
I followed the line of sight of the two dragon emperors, and found the very person I was looking for.
He was already turning his back toward us, running away from this place.
…And he jumped out of the plaza.
『MASTER, WAIIIT!』
『STOOOOP.』
The two dragons went to chase after him as if they had already completely forgotten about us.
They left the plaza, leaving behind a small scale earthquake in their wake.
My mind was blank for a moment, but then I got this feeling that I saw those two dragons transform… into two women.
「D-Did we just… survive?」
I unintentionally heaved a sigh.
I could only move my body again a while after that.
「Uh, commander… are you okay?」
I tried to ask my sister.
Naturally, I decided to pretend to not see her already soaked lower half with you-know-what fluid.
「Comman… der?」
Then, I noticed.
The commander was already unconscious while sitting.
「N-Neesan…」
◇◇◇
「I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BU*LLSH*IT! I’LL GET AWAY FROM THIS CURSED PLACE! DON’T TRY TO STOP ME. I STILL CARE FOR MY LIFE!」
There was a shadow of a robust man leaving the royal capital while shouting such words.
He was the ruler of Tana Kingdom, Leonhardt the 2nd.
He was locked up inside the royal capital and guarded 24/7 under the orders of his own prime minister.
But he created an opportunity to escape and managed to get away from the royal palace by using the secret route only known to him, the king.
And just when he thought that he finally got away from the royal capital without anyone noticing…
「In the first place, I am the king! How can I receive such cruel treatment like this?! That Beit is growing more and more impudent by the day!」
He felt that he finally gained his own freedom spewing such resentful cries due to how cruelly he was mistreated by his own prime minister.
「But he still can’t stop me from breaking free of this damned cage! HAHAHAHA!」
Leonhardt’s flabby belly shook as he ran while spouting such nonsense that not even the speaker himself understood.
Since the plaza was a dangerous place, he ran in the opposite direction.
From there, he would escape from the royal capital.
「Nevertheless, those holy knights must be insane. Just what the hell are they thinking by baiting the No Life King into the royal capital. In the end, I can only relying on my own fee―」
At that moment…
Right after he came out from the main street, something passed by in front of him at an extremely terrifying speed.
「NUOO?!」
Leonhardt unintentionally flopped on the ground on his rear.
「YOU BASTARD, THAT’S DANGEROUS! HOW DARE YOU MAKE THE KING OF THIS KINGDOM, LEONHARDT, FALL ON HIS REAR!」
He reflexively shouted toward the person who already ran far away from that place.
But then, he noticed.
The hair colour of the person who just passed by in front of him was… pure white.
Moreover, maybe because the other party heard Leonhardt’s shout, that white-haired person turned around―
The thing that Leonhardt saw was a pair of bright red eyes.
Naturally, Leonhardt already knew about the common features of the No Life King: white hair and red eyes.
「White hair… red eyes… d-d-d-don’t tell me… HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?!」
Leonhardt turned around and ran in a panic.
But since his hips gave in due to uncontrollable fear, he had no choice but to get away from that place by crawling.
「P-PLEASE SPARE MY LIFEEEE! IF YOU WANT THIS KINGDOM, I’LL GIVE IT TO YOU, BUT… PLEASE SPARE MY LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!」
The no-good king who screamed like a kid didn’t realize that the No Life King had long since fled from there. Two buck-naked beauties (just two dragons) ran after him a while later.
He somehow managed to crawl his way to the royal palace until he was discovered by his hateful prime minister, who was running around looking for the missing king.
「…Just what are you doing in this place, Your Majesty?」
「BEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!」
「W-WHY ARE YOU DRENCHED IN SWEAT?! AND THIS SMELL, CAN YOU NOT CONTROL YOUR OWN BLADDER?! PLEASE GET AWAY FROM ME!」
「UEEEEEEEEEEN!」
「STOP CRYING, YOU NO-GOOD KING!」
A while later, Leonhardt, who stopped crying, never appeared in the governmental affair’s office ever again.
The saddest thing was… the fact that there was no problem in the government even without his appearance.
◇◇◇
「HE ESCAPED AGAIN!」
「Why do you think he did that??」
「No matter how you look at it, the reason is you for sure!」
「Why me? I’m not even doing anything.」
「Of course, because dear master can’t stand looking at your body.」
「GA~N.」
The blonde-haired beauty (naked) and the black-haired beauty (naked) continued on with their usual bickering.
Their master ended up running away from them again.
「How can you be this useless even though I went out of my way to turn you into his familiar.」
「…But he accepted me as his familiar.」
「He did, but he must be disappointed in you.」
「GA~N.」
Hearing the thorny remark from the Thunder Dragon Emperor, the Darkness Dragon Emperor staggered as if the former’s remark hit the bull’s eye.
「And the reason must be that washboard-like body of yours.」
「…Upon closer inspection, the Master doesn’t seem to prefer your “Melons” either. Rather, he seems to hate them.」
「WHAT DID YOU SAY! YOU, SURE HAVE GUTS TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ME, HUH, WASHBOARD!」
「THAT SHOULD BE MY REMARK, SAGGING MELONS.」
They kept bickering as they ran side by side.
But they had yet to be aware….
Of the fact that their master’s communication disorder worsened in front of women.
Not to mention the fact that, surrounded by naked women, he was too shy to even look at them.
Maybe because she was tired of their quarrel, the Thunder Dragon Emperor then heaved a sigh and said.
「Since it has come to this… I guess we’ve no choice but to look for another candidate for his familiar.」
「Reason?」
「It’s a tribute to the master. Since you’re a failure, I’ll find one that he’ll be delighted with next.」
「Muh…」
「You help me too. Master might recognize you if you help me. I’ll also put in a good word for you.」
「I gotta do my best then.」
And just like that, contrary to their master’s wishes, the two dragon emperors started the journey to find a new familiar for their master.

TN : Grand battle between melon and washboard is intense, even in fantasy world.
