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

urnful cries to the heavens.
And then…

「Well, it can’t be helped.
You were completely annihilated after all.」

His tone went back to normal in a flash.
As if that wasn’t enough, he added.

「In the first place, he was so disgusting to the point that it almost killed me.
What was it again, MAIDEN? HAH! An ugly gorilla like him wanted to become a beautiful maiden?! Could it be that he meant rare animal? I had to hold back vomit every time he tried to woo me with that disgusting appearance.
Yup, that’s it, losing him is for the best.」

Jean laughed cheerfully, as if his bitter expression from before was a lie.

「Well, that aside, there’s no way I can sit back doing nothing after losing both Sou and Brodia.」

As expected, his pride was deeply wounded after he lost two of the Nine Death Generals.
His lips twisted into a conniving grin as he declared his intentions to the air.

「Wash your neck and wait for me, Holy Knights.
Now it’ll be my turn to come to you.
And then, I’ll raise you back as my lovely undeads」

He… had yet to know the truth.

===A Certain Female Holy Knight===

We, the special Holy Knight’s team that was formed to subjugate Jean Diago, had just arrived in this city called Saldor in the Romana Kingdom.
First, we’d be riding the train toward Dari, from there we’d continue our journey toward Coastal.
Since there was no railway heading toward Coastal, our only choice was traveling via highway with horse.

「Uhh? What’s the matter?」

And just when we were about to take a rest to prepare for tomorrow’s journey, we heard the sound of a warning bell resounding across the city.
Vice-captain Porm opened the window to confirm the situation outside.

「It seems there’s a mansion that’s been set ablaze, Captain Limule.」

Even though the sun had set, the sky outside was still quite bright.
The blazing flame burned with such intensity that it was still visible, even from this distance.

「The fire… is quite strong.
Taking into account the wind today, the fire might spread to the entire city if it’s handled incorrectly.」

I stood up from the sofa, taking off my nightgown.

「… What are you going to do?」
「I might be able to help them since I can use water magic.」
「… Firefighting isn’t part of our mission.」
「I can’t just watch them without doing anything.
Don’t worry, I’ll go help them, even alone.
The rest of you can rest for tomorrow.」

I left our inn after entrusting the aftermath to Porm.
I finally saw the location of the fire after running for a while.

「Please open the way for me.」

After I pushed through the onlookers, I finally arrived in front of the blazing mansion.

「That’s… a really huge mansion.
It has a spacious garden too.
I guess there’s no worries about the fire spreading outside the mansion perimeter.」

Fortunately, the people who lived in the mansion had already escaped outside.
They were currently resting at the edge of the garden, receiving first aid from the palace guards who had arrived first.

But there was something strange about them.
Why were there only handsome and young men amongst them?

「I can use recovery magic too.
Allow me to help you.」

「I see, thanks a lot.
Well, fortunately, none of their injuries are life-threatening.」

I decided to ask for their story while applying recovery magic on one of them.

「Are you guys employees of this mansion?」
「No, we’re not.
We were captured.」
「Cap… tured?」
「… Yeah, by a terrifying undead.」

He replied with an ashen face and trembling lips.

「Undead…? Mind if you fill me in on the details?」

And then, I uncovered a shocking truth as I heard his story.
Apparently, numerous young men were held captive inside of that mansion for a long time by a beefy undead, a self-proclaimed maiden.

No doubt about it.
The name of that undead was Brodia…
One of the big shots of Jean’s underlings.

「We couldn’t escape no matter how hard we tried… And we… became that guy’s prey and ti-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!」
「C-Calm down.
It’s okay.
That terrifying guy isn’t here.」

I managed to calm down the guy who was screaming in fear.
Apparently, my prodding had caused him to relive the most horrifying trauma of his life.

「But then, why was this mansion set ablaze? Just what in the world happened?」
「S-Someone came to save us.
We were saved… by another undead.」
「Another… undead?」
「Yes… white hair and red eyes…」

A white-haired, red-eyed undead!
No way, the undead from Coastal?

If that was the case, he was unrelated to Jean.
On the contrary, they might be enemies.

「If he didn’t come to save us back then, we… might’ve had to live that misery till we died! Moreover, he also helped us escape after he set this mansion ablaze!」
「He helped you guys… escape from the blazing mansion?」

I almost couldn’t believe my ears upon hearing that shocking truth.
