Chapter 105: Shook the World

TN: We’re catching up with the raw. I’ll put this series in hiatus since the author has yet to release new chapter. I’ll also release the new series, click HERE for more information about the new series.

The beastfolk kingdom violated the pact and invaded the holy country.

But since most of their ships received serious damage in the middle of the sea, they were forced to retreat.

Naturally, many were shocked by this news.

But the more shocking thing was the rumor about the Beast King who led the invasion—how they ended up becoming the No Life King’s familiar.

Since there was no formal announcement from the holy country, the credibility of the rumor was still being questioned.

Nevertheless, it didn’t prevent the majority of the population from believing that the No Life King was gradually building his own undead army.

===

―Romana Kingdom―

「Uh, no matter how much I think about it, he doesn’t seem to be the kind of person who’d want a familiar… And yet, why did he still make one…」

Romana’s Hero King, Alendros the Third, muttered this with a dumbfounded look on his face in his own private room.

Amidst the widespread fear and terror amongst his people and subordinates, only he—who heard the situation directly from the pope—could keep his calm.

「Anyhow, this will stop the invasion for a while. On top of having the majority of their ships damaged, the sudden disappearance of the Beast King will also create a turmoil in the beastfolk kingdom.」

There would have to be a civil war to determine the next Beast King.

The people in the beastfolk kingdom would be too occupied to think about another invasion.

「But to think that not even the holy country could purify him… I guess this means that this matter is beyond human power…」

===

―Tana Kingdom―

「W-W-W-WE’RE DOOMED! THIS WORLD IS DOOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!」

「Calm down, Your Majesty.」

「HOW CAN I STAY CALM IN THIS SITUATION?! THE NO LIFE KING IS BUILDING HIS ARMY OF UNDEAD, YOU KNOW?! NOW WE CAN ONLY GUESS WHICH COUNTRY HE’S GOING TO RAID FIRST!」

The one who was wailing in despair was the king of Tana, Leonhardt the Second.

Beside him, the one who heaved a sigh upon seeing his lord acting the exact opposite of the Hero King, was the prime minister, Bite.

「If he really wanted to destroy this kingdom, he’d already have done that when he came before. There’s no need to increase our military since destroying a small country led by a cowardly king is as simple as flipping his own hand.」

「I’m not a coward!」

The No Life King had appeared once before in the Tana kingdom.

He had left without doing anything, not even causing any damage.

「And the Holy Knights can’t seem to drive him out either… It was as if he just happened to stroll into this place.」

「How can a prime minister have such optimistic thinking! You should consider the worst situation!」

「Because there’s nothing we can do when that happens.」

====

―Kranzle Empire―

「As expected of the one whom I revere. Even the Beast King has to bow down before him.」

The empress who ruled the empire, Deodora Kranzle, muttered this.

She also received the latest information from her “Shadow.”

「Y-Your Majesty. Uh… About the immortal faith that you pressed forward… Most temples have already been built…」

One of her subordinates reported this with a frightened look upon seeing his empress’ intoxicated look.

Immortal faith was the new religion that would become the national religion of the empire. It would revere only one god: the No Life King. And the empress coerced her citizens into embracing this new religion.

Although many of her citizens trembled in fear upon seeing their empress, who was presumably brainwashed by the No Life King, none of them could defy her orders.

Before long, the horror spread all over the empire. They were afraid that they might be turned into undead too.

「Ahh, My Lord… Your exclusive country will be done soon enough… It’ll be ready to welcome your visit…」

…Naturally, she also had no idea that her lord didn’t actually want that.

―Holy Country Melt Ram―

Pope Elmenius the Fourth groaned as he recalled the face of the white-haired youth.

「The Thunder Dragon Emperor, the Darkness Dragon Emperor, and even the Beast King ended up becoming his familiars… There’s even a rumour saying that Kranzle Empire’s ruler has also become his familiar…」

To an outsider who had no idea about the true circumstances of the No Life King, it did sound like an evil deed befitting a great-disaster-rank undead.

But…

「A R-REPORT IS COMING! A VILLAGER FROM THE BORDER WITNESSED A YOUTH BEING CHASED AROUND BY THREE NAKED BEAUTIES!!」

…It was actually nothing more than an escape drama.

「I don’t care whether it’s an escape drama or just a comedy… No matter how I think about it, they’re clearly out of control.」

According to what he heard from Limule later, aside from his shyness toward strangers, the No Life King had extremely poor resistance toward women.

「Anyhow, please forgive us as we… can’t even do what we have to do.」

===

Due to today’s incident, the No Life King’s infamy spread even further.

「No Life King? Never heard of that.」

「He is an undead who’s certified as a great-disaster-rank monster by humans, you know? But well, it’s by human standards, after all.」

「Eh? The Beast King… has become that undead’s familiar?」

「…Calm down… The Beast King is… after all… the weakest amongst us… the Six Kings.」

「What? That Thunder Dragon Emperor and Darkness Dragon Emperor have also become that undead’s familiars too?」

Five demon races were gathered in a certain place having such a conversation.

Moreover, none of them were weaker than the Beast King.

They were the demon race’s leaders.

「Aren’t the dragons supposed to have strength rivaling us…?」

「If that’s the case, it means that undead is the real deal…」

「Eh? Does that mean he will go after the demon race once he rules over the human race?」

「…It’s just hearsay… It’s not like that kind of undead could… exist.」

「What are you talking about? This is credible information, you know?」

The fear toward the No Life King had spread beyond the human race’s countries.

Even the demon races were trembling in fear before him.
