Volume 1
Chapter 65
The Zombie Boss
Has Appeared
Translator : PolterGlast
A monster suddenly
appeared. It had only an upper body, wrapped in a tattered black robe. And to
top it off, that upper body was nothing but bones, a thorough display of its
abnormality. It peered out with crimson lights from its twin eyes, and a purple
aura, or something like it, was visible all over its body.
Except for the fact
that it was floating and had no lower body, its appearance was not so different
from the other Robs───but this one was
clearly different from the other individuals.
Every cell in my body
seemed to deny its existence, and an unusually strong sense of intimidation
made me break out in a cold sweat.
This is bad.
"Do you have any
idea how many years I spent planning this!? Everything was going smoothly! And
then, you... you...!!! Who are you, you bastard!!!?"
It appeared out of
nowhere and seemed quite angry. Well, even if it asked me who I am...
"Well... I'm just
a human."
"Don't lie to me!
You can't possibly be just a human! How dare you make such jokes in front of
me... How dare you... how dare you...!"
How should I put it...
It's like he's struggling with how to vent his emotions. Well, I've never felt
such emotions, so I don't actually know if that's really the case.
"Just killing you
is not enough! Even if I were to melt all your skin, strip away your flesh, and
drag out every organ, my rage wouldn't subside! You've committed such a heinous
crime!"
Hey, what you're
saying is creepy.
"You have angered
me! For your crime, your recklessness, you shall atone in the underworld!"
The monster in front
of me thrusts out its right hand.
───Instantly, a black,
fluid-like substance poured out from the ground directly beneath me, trying to
swallow me up.

【Hadira's POV】
The shadow of death I
created completely swallowed the man.
This is different from
the one that swallowed Tekiru. The shadow-colored liquid envelops the target,
and it is merely corrosive at first, but after melting the target's skin to a
certain extent, it loses its corrosiveness and becomes a flexible solid that
begins to crush both the muscles and bones into pieces.
Look, right now, the
shadow that has swallowed the man and taken the shape of a bag is stretching
and shrinking, crushing the man. I can hear the bones and muscles being
destroyed inside.
But it doesn't end
there. The shadow then swirls out of the bag shape like wind and turns into a
tornado, grinding the contents and completely destroying its original form. In
the end, only a powdery substance remains.
Even then, my anger is
not appeased. Where should I vent this anger to?
While thinking about
it, the shadow swirled and began to grind the man.
Eventually, the man
would be reduced to nothing but powder and exposed to the light of day.
The shadow dissipated
after fulfilling its role. As I expected, only white powder, which must be bone
dust, remained.
The blood and other
things have probably been taken away by the shadow.
But, there was one
unexpected thing───the ring the man had
been wearing remained completely undamaged.
What's with that ring?
Why is it intact?
Usually, I would be
intrigued and would reach for the ring, but───
Hmph, well, whatever.
The owner is dead anyway. It won't have any effect anymore.
My mind was filled
with anger, and my interest didn't outweigh that anger, so I scratched my head
at the trouble I had to take in dealing with the people of the town myself.
Argh... Why does this
happen? ...Damn it! In that case... I'll let out all this anger on the people
of the town!!
I turned my back on
the man and started going towards the town.
"───!!"
But, I suddenly felt a
chill down my spine and reflexively turned around.
"W-What...?"
There was only the
powder of what used to be a man───or so I thought! Before I knew it, a dark red mist and a deep crimson
liquid were heading towards it, swirling as they enveloped the powder.
It was as if it were
the sign of something appearing... no, it was more like... could it be a sign
of regeneration!?
My guess was right.
The mist, liquid, and
powder swirled around for a while, and then, as if they knew where to go, began
to move, and the man's hands, toes, arms, legs, torso, neck, and head were
being regenerated in the order of bone, muscle, and skin.
For some reason, the
ring was also caught up in the regeneration───and there, standing as
if nothing had happened, was a naked man.
The man opened his
eyelids and looked into my eyes.
"I-Impossible...!"
Those were the only
words that came out of my mouth when I saw something so far beyond the laws of
the world.
That's right───that's impossible.
Even I, who rules over
death and grants death, cannot achieve complete regeneration from death.
Even though it is
taboo to research it, even if I did research it, I would not understand anything.
The information is so complex, with so many interactions, that it is impossible
to analyze.
Even I would give up
on that.
And yet... this
man...!
"Ahahaha..."
The man smiled.
"Good, let's do
it."
He looked at me with
mad eyes and said so with a truly joyful expression.
