Chapter 66: Independent Action

Haaa so nervous

After the hero king left, I staggered back before plopping back in my chair.

What are you talking about, disaster-class undead-san?

Im just an ordinary civilian, you know

I mean, the highest-ranked person I met when I was still alive was just a city lord of a small city after all.

And I was with so many other adventurers too. That was why meeting a king personally like that was the first time for me. [TL : What about the empress?]

If the female Holy Knight wasn't with me, I might have already fled.

And then, the ship's ticket arranged by the hero king had finally arrived.

After reading the letter which came along with the tickets, he had arranged a special room for the two of us. It was a completely different area which prevented any kind of mishap such as accidentally passing by the general passengers.

It seems that while your real identity was kept a secret from the sailor, they know that we're special guests. That's why there's no need to be afraid of face check even if you hide your face with your hood.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Moreover, the king was considerate enough to add a map which told the location of the port city, where our ship would be waiting. We would still have to make it in time though.

? Well I already know the position of the port city even without this map, but

The female Holy Knight voiced her doubt.

===

The night of that day

I snuck out of the inn after I made sure that all guests were already asleep,

Naturally I didn't tell the female Holy Knight about this.

She would only realize that I had already left my room by the morning.

Well it should be okay since I left a message for her in my room.

I planned to go to the port city by myself.

Fortunately, the hero king had also sent a map, so I should be able to go there by myself.

I mean, shed probably get involved in unnecessary trouble if she came with me.

I was a disaster-class monster after all. Anyone who managed to subjugate me would gain gold and glory. Thus, the young, hot-blooded adventurers would surely try to subjugate me.

And yet, the news about him suddenly came to a complete stop a few days ago.

The latest news about his appearance was when he appeared in the capital of Tana Kingdom, the neighboring country of the Romana Kingdom.

But after that point, there was no news about his appearance anymore outside of nonsense speculations.

So he really is in the Tana Kingdom, huh. Let's go to there immediately.

If we make a conclusion from the available information so far, No Life King is moving around constantly. As for guessing his current whereabouts, let's just forget about that. We've no choice but to wait for new information.

Ilran insisted that the No Life King was still in the Tana Kingdom.

He really wanted our party to be the one who subjugated the disaster-class undead.

Hey, are you sure that we really can subjugate hi~m? I mean, even that Hundred Whip Estina and Full-Charge Barud are no match for him.

The one who butted into our conversation was Mitt, the thief of our party.

Mitt had a cute and adorable appearance But make no mistake, Mitt was a guy. Well appearance aside, his ability was top-notch.

He was head-hunted so many times by other parties; that was just how skilled he was.

Naturally, he was also a gold-rank adventurer.

That's why our rank will shoot up straight into platinum if we manage to subjugate him. Moreover, we will receive a big reward that will be enough for us to live like nobles for our entire lives.

Ilran flicked his nose as he rejected Mitt's opinion.

His reckless remark was that of a greenhorn who had no idea about the ways of the world.

In fact, the person himself didn't take his remark too seriously either.

But I was different from Ilran.

I agreed with him since we had the chance to defeat the No Life King.

If he really is a great disaster-class monster, those platinum-rank adventurers have no chance of surviving. And yet, is there any news about those two receiving fatal wounds or dying? No, right. On the contrary, every place which is visited by the No Life King seems to be safe and sound. There are almost no victims at all. Don't you think it's quite strange, Mitt?

Yeah, that's strange.

That's why I'm sure that the No Life King has some sort of secret. And as long as we discover his secret

Even we would be able to subjugate the No Life King.

Was what I believed.
