Chapter 105

Chapter 105

Pinch's body, split in half, drowned in the deep sea. Simon, staring at it expressionlessly, suddenly covered his mouth.

'Ugh, my breath!'

[Keep going, Boy! Keep infusing jet-black in the greatsword and shooting it!]

Simon nodded, turned his greatsword toward the sea, and shifted to face opposite the water surface. Simon's body was slowly pushed back when he shot out a small slash in that position.

'I-I'm at my limit!'

His consciousness was on the verge of disappearing due to the extreme stamina depletion and his lack of oxygen. He bit his lips to the point of bleeding and barely kept his mind.

Somehow, he reached the point where he could see the ship. Now, a step away from the bottom of the ship

Clack! Clack!

Simon heard the sound of the force failing to leave the tip of the greatsword. He had depleted all his jet-black.

Simon's consciousness had also reached its limit. Multiple times. As he was about to finally black out

Splash!

He saw Shun swimming toward him.

'Shun!'

Simon and Shun reached out to each other.

They didn't make a mistake this time. They held each others hands tight, and at that moment, everything went black.

* * *

Swaaaaaa!

"Pufff! Huff! Hah!"

Amongst the powerful waves atop the waters surface popped out an unconscious Simon, being carried by Shun.

"Grab this!"

Elizabeth threw a rope made of spider web.

As Shun swam and grabbed the end of the rope, she pulled them up to the deck at once with the inhuman strength of an ancient undead.

"Cough cough! Huff! Phew!"

Shun vomited water all over the deck.

"Count! How's my master?"

"He's fine! He just lost consciousness because he used up all his strength."

The two quickly gave first aid to Simon.

But now the pirate ship wasn't safe, either. It was sinking because of the hole in the bottom.

Then

[Ssshhhk!]

A corpse spider had appeared and sent a signal to Elizabeth.

"S-Spider?"

"Please don't be afraid. Theyre allies."

Five corpse spiders brought a smallbut good enoughwooden boat as she beckoned.

"There was an emergency row boat. Lets take this and head to Blue Harbor."

Shun lifted up Simon in his arms.

"Well done, spiders!"

[Ssshhhk!]

The spiders raised their legs and pretended to do high fives. Elizabeth stroked Pier's skull, which had now separated from Simon.

"Pier, you too. Well done."

[Kuhehe! My whole body is aching!]

"If you get rid of the salt water once we reach land, it'll be a little better. Now, let's move them quickly!"

* * *

I wonder how long Ive been out

Simon finally opened his eyes after regaining his consciousness. He looked up at the ceiling with a blank expression for a while before sitting up.

'Ugh.'

What were only small aches became daggers wrenching into his flesh. His whole body was stiff and in pain, and bandages covered his body.

"Master! Have you awakened?"

Elizabeth, the first to see Simon wake up, rushed towards him. Then, she shook his shoulders.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Y-Youre making me dizzy, Eliza"

"What a relief!"

The maids around them also stood up.

"Sir Simon!"

"Please stop by our shop sometime!"

In front, Simon could see the villagers who fought along with him with Bone Armor.

"We won't forget the times we fought together!"

"Goodbye!"

Simon felt a lump in his throat. He showed his face out the window and waved directly to the people.

"Cheer up, Simon Polentia, son of Blue Harbor!"

Oh, that was a little bit too much.

The people of Les Hill would be upset if they heard this.

"Uhehe, why do people like you so much? What have you been doing while I wasn't looking?"

"I just fought according to your orders"

The carriage, running zealously across the road past the mansion and downtown, gradually slowed.

It was a very familiar place. The Undead Exhibition Center where Simon had worked.

"Why are we here?"

"I have something to bring with me."

Shun jumped off, and Simon and Elizabeth followed. The guards standing at the gate stepped aside.

In the process, one of the guards thanked Simon for protecting Blue Harbor and left his well-wishes. Simon also responded with a smile and greeting.

"You're following me even if I'm just gonna quickly get something?"

"But I'm still your bodyguard today."

"Oh yeah. Right!"

Shun giggled and climbed the stairs first.

"It took me a while to get permission."

As Simon climbed the stairs, the butler and the head butler politely bowed. The head butler was holding a large chest in his hands.

"What's this?"

"What do you mean? It's the reward of the mission."

Simon, having received the box, carefully opened the lid. He saw 1,000 sparkling gold coins.

'Ah!'

When he heard the words 1,000 gold, he couldn't really picture it, but when he saw it all in person, he could understand that it was quite a considerable amount of money.

Simon said in excitement,

"...Thanks for everyth No. Thank you very much, Count."

"Ahaha! Why are you acting so respectful all of a sudden?"

Shun giggled and gestured to the butlers. The butlers began to move in a hurry.

"And big brother, haven't you forgotten something?"

"Hm?"

"Yesterday, I said that if you protect this island and the residents, I'll be paying an additional commission fee."

At that, Simon sheepishly scratched at the side of his face.

"No, you really don't"

"Take it off."

At Shun's command, the butlers pulled off the cloth. A skeleton in the form of a squid was seen in a fishbowl.

"The undead of the future, Mollusca Undead Overlord, worth 10,000 gold."

Shun took a deep breath and continued.

"From now on, it's yours, big brother Simon. I want you to have it."

".........?!!"

Simon received a shock as great as a tsunami. His jaw practically hit the ground.

A skeleton horse or a skeleton made out of demon bone was on Simon's bucket list, but he couldn't even think about having this Overlord that was worth more than 10,000 gold.

"S-Shun! This is too!"

Shun grinned and wiped his nose.

"Looking at your reaction, big brother, I feel even greater giving it to you! You'll accept the sincerity of me, the Oldwin family, and the residents of Blue Harbor, right?"

""

Shun even blocked the only path of refusal and asked for an answer. Simon, who had been dazed with tens of thousands of emotional interspersed, soon nodded.

The butlers and Elizabeth applauded and congratulated him as though waiting for that response. And

[@$*[email protected]&%&ION$!!!]

Although Simon couldn't understand it, it seemed like Pier was also drunk with delight.
