Volume 4 - CH 37

Act 4-37: Predicament and The Closure(Side: Deimos)

The square headed zombie with black cloth clapped its hands and bent backward,

『Follow the order of the great personage♪ You plebeians should follow his order♬』

And spoke as if they owned the place.

Deimos’ train of thought froze for a moment when he heard such joke like remark, and then exploded in rage in the next moment.

『How dare a mere low rank undead to mock me!』

And spewed a remark unbefitting of a skeleton(low rank undead).

Lucas had also cranked his hands while revealing a faint smile toward the square headed undead and,

「How annoying. You tell us, who obey the will of Our Supreme Ruler, to lower Our head to you?」

He slowly approached the square headed zombie as he asked that question.

There was no stopping for them, Reason being the square headed zombie’s remark was the biggest insult for Deimos and co. It was akin to the square headed zombie spitting on the face of their Supreme Ruler. Currently, there was no one but their Supreme Ruler who could stop them.

『Rotten King-sama is an extremely tolerant person♩ And he needs a lot of manpower to wage a war with Ares’ force♪ Your life is guaranteed if you swear your loyalty to him―― Otherwise, otherwise, otherwiseeeeeeeeeeeeee♬』

The next moment, Lucas had already stood right behind the square headed zombie who snapping their fingers in rythmical manner. Grabbed their head and then――

「DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTING!DISGUSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!」

Slammed it down on the ground with bloodshot eyes. Small crater created as he slammed the zombie’s head on the ground, it became bigger and bigger with each slam.

Oh cra*p, Lucas-dono is truly pissed off right now. I understood why he was so angered but, he would end up destroying this building and harming Lyla-sama if he kept doing that.

『LUCAS!』

Lucas stopped as soon as Deimos called out to him, revealing a smile and,

「Woopsie. It seems I overdid it a little bit.」

After he got away from piece of meat that had already lost its original shape, he shook his hand to get rid of the pieces of meat and blood stuck on his hand and wiped it with the handkerchief he took from his pocket.

『It’s not just a little bit though…』

Dear me, it seems his skill has improved again since not even I reacted when I saw his movement to that zombie when he got past me a while ago. And this man is supposed to be a human, right? Both Lucas and Oboro, it was as if they were transformed into unknown creature in order to chasing after the brilliant sun, Our Supreme Ruler.

「Well, we failed to get more information about that disgusting thing who called themselves Rotten King.」

As soon as Lucas said so, the lump of meat that had already lost its original shape suddenly started moving again, forming its original shape, complete with their black clothes.

When the square headed zombie standing on their feet while shaking their head, star headed zombie appeared from inside the building and,

『Square, be careful♪ These guys are apostles of another god♬』

Warned the square head with a song. Different from before, the square headed zombie stopped their weird dance this time, completely raised their guard up.

「Deimos, leave this guy to me. I shall teach them an extremely painful lesson for their transgression of mocking Our Supreme Ruler.」

Lucas’ face warped into that of belligerent smile. Despite the earth-shaking change in regard to his strength, Lucas never forgot his chivalry. Thus, anyone who dare to mock their Supreme Ruler would meet an extremely tragic end. And the target happened to be the zombie who stood before them. Whether it was Tamri, Tokotsu, or Lucas, the previous Deimos had always been looking down on the human. Deimos thought that if it really happened in accordance to their Supreme Ruler’s plan, Lucas who look calm outside was in fact a volcano that was already on the verge of exploding.

『Unde—!!?』

The moment Deimos about to give his consent, he felt that the presence of the skeleton knight summoned by him was vanished.

『NO WAY!』

He entered the building immediately but, Lyla’s figure had already gone, the only thing left was an empty stone bed.

He left the building immediately and,

『THEY KIDNAPPED LYLA-SAMA!!』

He shouted.

Lucas body stiffened the moment he heard that, and then trembling non-stop,

「YOU BAST*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!! HOW DARE YOU TO KIDNAP OUR SUPREME RULER’S DEAREST PERSON!! DON’T EXPECT THAT YOU’LL GET A PEACEFUL DEATH! YOU’LL TASTE THE HELL ON EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTH!!」

He roared toward the heaven with enraged look on his face.

『I’ll try to recover Lyla-sama!』

Deimos about to run but,

『Not so fast♬』

But got obstructed by the star headed zombie. Just like Deimos and Lucas, these zombies were also an existence beyond the norm of this world. In short, they’re the subordinates of the other god that that was mentioned by Girimekhala before the start of the operation.

Good grief, never in my wildest imagination had I expected that I would end up getting myself involved in the battle of gods. But, since this battle related to the safety of the people that Our Supreme Ruler care about, defeat isn’t option.

「Deimos, quickly secure Lyla-sama!」

Suddenly, Lucas’ hands popped out from the star headed zombie, he did so right after he crushed the square headed zombie. By now, the square headed zombie had already crushed to pieces, and when they were about to be burned to crisp by Lucas’ black flame.

Deimos went to chase into the ruin immediately but, the flesh of the star headed zombie suddenly moving on it’s own, forming a giant wall of flesh that blocked Deimos’ path.

『I won’t let you go~♩』

Cra*p. Lucas is clearly more powerful than those star and square headed zombies. He could easily beat them down in proper fight. But, after they realized that Lucas and I were also the apostle of another god, their previous self-conceitedness vanished. Now they were completely focused on buying time. Moreover, if my guess is correct, the other party had the worst compatibility with Lucas. At this rate, Lyla-sama would fall into an extremely dangerous situation. I had to avoid that at all costs.

Frankly speaking, the one who received the order to protect Lyla was Deimos. But, Lucas could move faster than him. Thus, he judged that it wasn’t the time to worry about his honor, he had to prioritize Lyla safety by choosing the best course of action.

『Lucas, let me to handle those guys. You go and retake Lyla-sama!』

Deimos invoked his divine protection――【Pinnacle of Magic】, and activated the legendary class magic that he knew with his enhanced magical power.

『Inferno(World-Destroying Conflagration)!』

Several crimson red spheres appeared beside the square headed and the star headed zombie, rushing toward the wall meat behind them as they tried to dodge.

Though the wall of meat melted down due to extremely high heat, another wall of meat appeared to reinforce the wall, making it bigger, and thicker.

『It’s futile♩ Our regeneration power can’t be compared with the likes of those lowly undead♬ Moreover, the more you attack　――』

No matter how much Lucas chopped up the wall of mat, it kept getting thicker and thicker.

『That’s right♪ Rotten King-sama has almost acquired new flesh♩ When that happen, we will become stronger too! We can easily defeat the like of Ares’ army♬』

When the square headed zombie said so with triumphant look on his face, a tall and muscular baldie fell in front of the building. And then with his face that was covered with tears and mucus,

「This is the place! I received order to guide you to this place!」

He raised a shriek as he pointed toward the building with trembling hand.

Standing in front of that baldie was none other than the person who was referred by Deimos and co. as their Supreme Ruler.
