Chapter 26: Arbitrary Declaration

===A Certain Female Holy Knight===

I chased after that white-haired undead even after I lost sight of him.

Captain Limule?! Thank God you're safe!

Along the way, I reunited with Porm, my vice captain, as we chased after that undead.

Yeah, as you can see, I'm safe. I've let everyone to escape, preparing to die myself and yet

What was the use of my resolution? A self-mocking smile crept onto my lips. To think, even I was spared by that undead.

But then, Porm replied back with a serious look on her face.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

You're wrong. I was deeply moved by your gallant figure back then, Captain.

P-Please stop with such praise.

Honestly I felt quite embarrassed upon hearing such praise from my subordinate.

Rather than that, can you tell me everyone's current condition?

Yes, everyone is safe. They're currently gathering in the nearby church.

I see.

So what about "THAT" guy?

Hearing Porm's question, my eyebrows creased. How should I answer her question?

He escaped Or maybe he thinks we're not even worthy to be killed by him personally.

At that moment

A huge tremor shook the ground at our feet. Feeling that, Porm and I raised our guard.

What's happening? Earthquake?

Captain! Over the-

When I looked at the place where Porm's finger pointed at, I saw a blazing fire pillar rise into the sky.

The location wasn't that far from our current position.

It was close to the rampart.

We glanced at each other, and then we ran toward the location of the fire pillar.

We arrived in an open space close to the rampart.

And then, we discovered him right beside the blazing fire pillar.

The white-haired undead.

Beside me, Porm was already as pale as a sheet, so I shouted at that white-haired undead.

F-FOUND YOU!

Even though that guy turned around to glance at us, he escaped again as soon as he saw my face.

I could barely believe my eyes seeing him deftly jump over the tall rampart.

Such amazing leg strength.

GUH! YOU'RE GOING TO ESCA-!

C-Captain! This is

??!!

Porm's hand held me back when I was about to go after that undead.

Upon a closer look, I saw a man right beneath Porm's feet.

Was this man killed by that undead?

No Life King?

Sovereign of All Undead?

Worst calamity?

Oh no!

I shuddered in fear.

PORM!

YES!

Porm and I wielded our holy spears and went to purify Jean's ghost immediately.

Jean's ghost didn't seem to care even after his ethereal body was bathed in holy light.

The No Life King has only one goal to create a kingdom of undead! Soon, humanity will perish! What awaits beyond this point is the world of undead!

S-SHUT UP! HOW ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?! HEY, DON'T LISTEN TO HIS NONSENSE!

Despite our attempts to calm the situation we were too late.

It had nothing to do with whether the matter was true or just the nonsensical rambling of a madman.

Just a few days ago, our religious organization issued a strict warning due to a certain, bloated article in the newspaper.

Worst calamity a crisis on the level in which humanity might perish.

The entire world would descend into panic if Jean's declaration was made known to the public.

For this reason, we had to be extra careful when handling this news, confirming the real situation such as the real threat of the monster before we made the announcement.

If it really was the worst calamity, then there was nothing we could do about it. The only thing humanity could do was pray desperately for one own's safety.

Thus, the thing we feared the most was being misled by fake information.

Jean's ethereal body was about to vanish as soon as he said those words.

NOW, ENJOY THE SHORT LIFE YOU HAVE LEFT! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA-

Vanished while leaving behind such an ominous laugh.

UWAAAAAA!

The peanut gallery scrambled around in fear due to that declaration, even though we had no idea if it was even true.

W-Wait a minute!

No one listened to me when I called them to go back.

I wouldn't be so flustered if it was only one or two people, but there was no way the two of us could stop this many people.

With so many people hearing about this matter, the news would spread in no time.

Jean, you bastard dropping such bomb-like news in his last moments!

Was that just nonsense?

Who knows, I can't answer that yet. But the world might fall into chaos due to that ba*stard's last words.

We had yet to confirm whether that white-haired undead really was a dangerous existence. That was why we needed to investigate this matter.

After all, as someone who spoke with that white-haired undead, I knew that we could actually communicate with him.

But now that things had devolved to this point, it was already impossible to perform a secret investigation.

It can't be helped then. I'll contact headquarters to make an official announcement Let's pray that this announcement is enough to suppress the panic.

I looked at the rampart, the part where he leaped up to escape from us.

The No Life King who wanted to turn this world into a world for undead, huh.

And yet, from my point of view, he didn't seem to be that kind of person.
