Chapter 96: The Female Holy Knight Was Unstoppable

「A-a-a…」

「That devil got… insta-killed…」

「T-this is… the No Life King…」

Having seen that spectacle, the Holy Knights could only tremble like newborn calves.

Judging from the way they averted their gazes, I knew that this wasn’t a situation that could be resolved with the power of communication.

「…A suggestion?」

Amongst them, the pope was the only one who could communicate properly with me.

His voice was trembling, but maybe his pride as the pope was what made him dare to look me in the eyes.

…Well, I was equally nervous too since I was talking to a literal bigshot.

「T-this guy might revive again if given enough time… That’s why I think… you should throw his body back into that white space again…」

「B-but… he might be able to leave… again.」

Both of us spoke with shrill voices, but none of us seemed to care about it.

「D-don’t worry about it… (maybe). I’m the one who created a hole in that white space after all… And that might be the reason why he escaped.」

「W-WHAT?! YOU PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE HOLY DIMENSION PRISON?!」

He looked really surprised, but the fact that I was outside right now was proof in itself.

That was why he should give up on trying to lock me in that place again, y’know?

Cause, like, that place was really scary…

「That’s why this guy shouldn’t be able to escape anymore if we locked his body in there… maybe.」

In short, he would be locked up inside that white space for eternity.

It was pitiful indeed, but… that guy was clearly an evil creature.

Different from harmless undead like me, that guy had an extremely radical personality. Yeah, he was completely different from me, y’know?

「Why should I… the pope… heed your suggestion?」

Vigilance was useless against harmless guys like me!

「For example, you might actually plan to destroy the gate to the Holy Dimension Prison. What makes you think that I should trust you?」

Why would I do that anyway?? It had already been proven that I could come out from that place anyway.

「YOUR EMINENCE!」

At that moment, the female Holy Knight interrupted our conversation.

「H-he has no intention to fuss. He really is just telling us the best way to deal with that devil.」

「Limule… are you siding with this undead?」

「…Indeed, he might be undead. But inside, he’s just a normal human. I can vouch for him as the one who brought him to this place.」

「…」

「The Hero King of Romana would say the same thing if he were here now.」

「…」

The pope’s eyebrows twitched when the female Holy Knight mentioned the Hero King.

「…」

「…」

After glaring in silence for a while, the pope finally opened his mouth.

「…Fine. We have no other choice anyway. Let’s do as you suggest.」

If there was no other choice, why didn’t that old man just agree from the start???

The huge body of the devil was transported to the basement.

Just to be sure, I crushed his heart again to make sure that nothing went wrong along the way.

As for me, I was detained in the garden, surrounded by Holy Knights.

「I-is it really… safe?」

「If he starts acting violently…」

「We’re dead meat…」

And although they were scared sh*tless, the reason why they didn’t escape was their strong sense of duty.

「Don’t worry about it.」

「C-captain Limule…」

「I single-handedly brought him all the way to this place. He wouldn’t be this obedient if he wanted to rampage.」

「Y-you’re right…」

The tense air loosened when the female Holy Knight gave her testimony.

「If you don’t believe me, you can try to attack him.」

「Eh, wa—」

Just when I thought what in the hell she was talking about, the female Holy Knight had already walked up toward me and unleashed a spear strike on me.

The sharp tip of her spear struck my forehead.

「「「HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!」」」

The other Holy Knights screamed upon seeing that.

「…I mean, is it normal to be suddenly attacked like that?」

「I’m doing this to make them understand.」

Naturally, her attack wasn’t even enough to tickle my skin, and I wasn’t angered by it.

I smiled at the frightened Holy Knights to show that I was a friendly undead.

「「「NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WE’RE DOOOOOOOOMED?!」」」

「Ah.」

「Hey.」

The female Holy Knight smacked the back of my head.

「You fool, have you forgotten my warning about your scary smile?」

「Come to think of it…」

「Good grief… Your brain must be rotten for you to forget something that I told you not too long ago.」

So cruel.

「I—… Is it really okay?」

「S-scary…」

「She’s treating him like a kid…」

Seeing the way the female Holy Knight acted and her speech, the rest of the Holy Knights were finally convinced that I wasn’t a dangerous undead.

Thus, a while after that little skit, the old pope man returned.

It seemed he managed to send that devil back to that white dimension.

「Everyone, I have to ask you to leave this place for the time being.」

「Eh? B-but… with such a dangerous…」

「Don’t worry. We would’ve been dead a long time ago if he felt like killing us.」

And then, the pope told his escorts to leave for some mysterious reason.

「Holy Knight Limule, you may stay.」

「Y-YES!」

The female Holy Knight was the only one left, thus leaving the three of us in this place. The pope then invoked a spell.

「This is…」

「It’s barrier magic. It’s not that powerful, but the people inside are safe from the prying eyes of a third party.」

It seemed to be a private conversation between just the three of us.
