===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===
I ran at full speed toward the castle which stood in the middle of the imperial capital.
I didn't see anyone on the street. Were they evacuated?
!!
At that mont, nurous shadows popped out from the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street.
They were holding a mysterious weaponthough I heard from the conversation of the soldiers in the gate a while ago that it was apparently called Gunthat could fire a lump of tal in their hand.
STOP HIM! FIRE FIRE FIREEEEE!!
Those lumps of tal that raining incessantly couldn't do sh*it to .
I-IT DOESN'T WORK! THE BULLETS CAN'T SCRATCH HIM!
CAN WE REALLY NOT STOP HIM?!
I ran past them when they were still in shock upon seeing that their gun didn't work on .
Upon advancing further, now I saw a cavalry unit blocking the road in front of .
SPOTTED! NO LIFE KING APPROACHING AT A TERRIFYING SPEED!
DO NOT FALTER! SHOW THAT UNDEAD THAT HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING HE WANTS IN OUR CAPITAL! SHOW HIM THE PRIDE OF THE SOLDIERS OF THE EMPIRE, AND STOP HIM!!
OOOOOOOOOOOH!
Although they raised a spirited warcry as they lifted their spears, it was not like I needed to deal with every single one of them.
So I kicked the ground and jumped over their heads.
What the?
H-H-HE JUMPEEEEEEED?!
And I continued running toward the castle as soon as I landed, leaving them behind in their own shock.
And then, I arrived right in front of the castle.
And yet, what was waiting for was an extrely spacious garden, filled with thousands of troops on standby, ready to intercept .
Lining up in front of that army was a mysterious weapon.
Judging form its shape, it seed to be similar weapon with the one called Gun.
But it was many tis bigger than Gun, so big that it needed few people to carry it.
WE'RE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE, DON'T LET THIS FILTHY MONSTER GO INSIDE THE HOLY PALACE OF OUR HOLY EMPRESS! WE MUST STOP HIM AT ALL COSTS!
G-GENERAL YOU SAW WITH YOUR OWN EYES HOW HE SURVIVED THE FULL POWERED BLAST FROM MAGIC CANON! Do you really think that so re cannon is enough to stop him?
DO NOT FALTER! FAILURE IS WITHIN CONSIDERATION WHEN WE TEST FIRED THE MAGIC CANNON! IT WAS JUST THE MISTAKE OF THE ONE WHO TOOK AIM WHICH RESULTING IN MISFIRE!
I see
WE'RE THE ONES WHO WILL TAKE DOWN THE NO LIFE KING! ALL HANDS, FIREEEEEEEEEEEE!
The mont after the man who looked like the commander of the army shouted
Lumps of tal around twenty centiters in size were fired in my direction.
DODODODODODODO!!
Those big lumps of tal hit from the front.
Did we beat him?!
Nope, you failed, you know?
And those lumps of iron were far from enough to injure .
Although the impact was more than what I expected, I braced my leg and only pushed back a little.
Well, it wasn't a big deal compared with the giant beam of light from before.
T-The cannon is
Just now, he definitely got hit by the cannon bullet, right?
L-LOAD THE NEXT BULLET
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TI! SEND THAT UNIT!!
ZUNZUNZUNZUN!
Just when I wondered what they were going to do next, I felt a small tremor along with that heavy sound on the ground. And then, the army was split to the sides.
What's that?
The thing that appeared from behind the army was a giant, human-shaped lump of tal over three ters tall.
The thing held in its two hands was a giant sword which looked like it could easily bisect a horse.
Was that a golem?
Or living armor?
But upon closer inspection, I saw that there was a human boarded inside that lump of tal.
MAGUS SOLDIER UNIT, CHARGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Thirty human-shaped lumps of tal charged toward at breakneck speed.
Out of my way!
I ran straight toward them.
And crashed agaisnt one right from the front.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!
THE MAGUS SOLDIERS WERE BLOWN AWAAAAAAAAAAAY?!
The giant was blown away, fluttering in the air for a while and crash-landing amidst its own.
Moreover, another one got sent flying when I crashed to it and then the next one and the next one.
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?!
When I ca to my senses again, I saw that the army had already lost their fighting spirit, falling on their knees as I passed them.
After I passed through the path that was opened by the giant, human-shaped lumps of tal that I sent flying a while ago, I finally arrived in front of a giant door.
But then, I crashed into sothing when I ran toward the door.
?
Although I couldn't see what kind of thing crashed against just now, it might be positioned in a way that prevented from seeing it.
It might be so sort of barrier.
T-THAT BARRIER WON'T BE DESTROYED THAT EASILY! YOU WILL NEVER STEP FOOT INTO THE HOLY CASTLE!! ALL UNITS FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
The commander yelled desperately to regain the morale of his army.
His figure remind of an ogre who was prepared to do their last suicide attack.
ORAAAA!
CRAAAAAAAAACK!
The barrier cracked way too easily with a single punch of mine.
WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT?!
I sent a glance over my shoulder toward the army. They looked at with eyes wide and jaws hanging loose as if they were about to fall on the ground. I kicked the door open.
Thus, I entered the castle without a hitch.
===???===
The castle gate had already breached!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
The Empress shouted repeatedly upon hearing the latest report from the ssenger.
But one might say that this was the beginning of another nightmare.
Bad news was coming one after another.
H-He broke through the first barrier! He's heading straight toward this castle!
No Life King is currently passing through Ali Street!
The second army has failed to stop him!
He's passing through delier Streeeeeeeeeeet!
T-The third army has failed!
AAAAAAAAAAH! WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS STOP A RE UNDEAD?! HE'S JUST BY HIMSELF RIGHT?!
As expected, even the elegant Empress finally snapped after hearing successive bad news like that.
H-He entered the garden of the royal castle!
Before they realized it, the great disaster was already right in front of their door.
M-MAGUS SOLDIER UNIT! DEPLOY ALL OF THEEEEEEEEEEEEM!
As if clinging to the last beacon of hope, she ordered the deploynt of the Empire's prided magus soldiers.
Magus soldiers were human-shaped weapons which allowed a human to go inside to control it from the inside. Along with the magic cannon, it was the Empire's trump card.
One of those magus soldiers had combat power comparable to that of a dragon.
Although their numbers were limited since they were still in the testing phase, there was a plan to mass-produce them in the future.
Y-Yes, we'll prepare it imdiately!
And then, another ssenger ca in.
T-The magus soldier unit was annihilated! Moreover the barrier that protected the castle got destroyed too! The target already infiltrated the castle!!!!!!!!!!!
The Empress staggered back upon hearing the nightmarish news, collapsing right on her throne.
L-Lies a re undead did this to our empire
The Empress started muttering sothing like a broken doll with quivered lips.
But she snapped out of it imdiately.
I-If I escape now I-I might be able to make it out alive and as long as I'm alive the Empire the Empire won't fall
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
~??!
With a thunderous sound, the floor of the throne room suddenly exploded .
And then, a white-haired, red-eyed young man appeared from the scattered debris.
HIIIII
His features were exactly the sa as the report.
The great disaster-class undead appeared right in front of the Empress.
N-N-N-N-NO LIFE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING?!
The Empress' scream resounded in the throne room.
