The Undead King

Sponsored Content

 
 There was a powerful evil sealed away on this island.
That existence, sealed deep underground, known as Anakarinth — the worst of all undead.
 The most evil king, sealed away 44 440 000 000 years ago because of his villainy.
However, the seal has gradually weakened, and he impatiently awaits his revival.
 
 ”Kuku, My seal has weakened considerably.
Soon, soon, My seal will be completely broken.
However, before that, I shall use My followers to assess the situation aboveground.
Come, My army of the undead! And if there are any of the living aboveground, it does not matter what they are! Devour them all!”
 
 Thus the aboveground was flooded with Plaster Mummies and Skeletons.
In order to diligently fulfil Anakarinth’s orders, the undead monsters took note of the human and fluffy animals that happened to come.
They came in odd iron carriages, but thought that wasn’t much of a problem.
 However — that carriage changed it’s shape one after the other, and to their surprise, took down the Plaster Mummy and many Skeletons.
 
 ”You! I do not know who you are, but you dare look down on this Me! In that case, go! The giant of bones, who is worthy of My pride! The Gashadokuro —”
 
 
 ◇◆◇
 
 
 A monster called a Gashadokuro suddenly appeared.
It’s much bigger than a Skeleton.
This guy alone seems to be equivalent to the amount of Skeletons we defeated earlier.
More than anything, it seems to have lots of calcium.
 And it’s very belligerent.
He’s been glaring this way, and feels quite eager.
 I have no choice but to confront him with the magic excavator.
For some reason, I get the feeling I have to take this guy down here or I won’t be allowed to leave.
 
 ”AaaaaAaaaAAaaah!”
 
 Raising a creepy, evil voice, the Gashadokuro swung down a huge bone.
However, the excavator’s thick armouring doesn’t let us take any damage at all.
 As expected.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to do endurance tests, but it’s worth it.

 ALthough it was a personal test, I properly made a list and carefully tested its fire resistance, seismic resistance, magic resistance, water resistance, etc.
 
 ”VoOoooOOoon—”
 
 Thereupon, the Gashadokuro opened its bone jaws this time, and blew out a poisonous-coloured breath.
This, is miasma.
The rocks in the surroundings crumbled to pieces.
 A corrosive miasma, huh.
Even if we had metal armouring, if we got showered in this miasma, it would get corroded in an instant.
 
 ”VooOoooOoon—”
 
 The Gashadokuro piled up breath even more.
However, the magic excavator showed no signs of corroding at all.
 
 ”Gu, goa?”
 ”The test list properly had corrosion resistance too.
The test was completed.
There’s no way that my magic heavy machinery, which could withstand being immersed in miasma so noxious it could corrode Orihalcon in an instant, and yet stay just like new, would be damaged by something of this level.”
 
 ”Guooo…”
 
 The Gashadokuro seemed to be trembling.
 
 ”Then now, I’ll go next!”
 
 The magic excavator changed to magic pressure breaker mode, and struck the Gashadokuro! It stumbled as bones were broken rapidly.
 
 ”GaA—”

 However, it felt as though its bone mouth was smiling fearlessly despite that.
 Immediately after that — the broken bones were brought back together, and the original arm was restored.
 
 — Katakatakatakata.
 
 The Gashadokuro’s bone jaws laughed clatteringly.
It showed a triumphant expression, but its own attack didn’t go through either.
 
 ”Unyu~?”
 ”Koo~?”
 
 Uni and Kani turned their eyes toward me, as though asking what to do.
Hmm, if my attack goes through and my opponent restores himself, this will just be a continuous draw!
 
 ”In that case, I’ll just do this.”
 
 After retorting that monologue in my head, I operate the panel and change the excavator to lift mode.
 
 ”Here I go!”
 
 I kamikaze into the Gashadokuro, then clamp it from both sides.
The Gashadokuro struggled, but there’s no way to escape from this power.
 
 ”Mogug~?”
 ”Mogu~?”

 ”Mogu-?”
 ”Mo~gu~”
 ”Mogyu?”
 
 Then the moles looked at me with faces that asked “now what?”.
Their twitching noses are cute.
Anyways, it might have just seemed pointless to grab a restoring opponent.
 
 ”No problem.
I’ll change modes again from here! Large pile-driver mode!”
 
 The frame extended to the sky with the Gashadokuro clamped down as is.
It’s similar to the crane mode’s boom.
 But the difference is that this one has a big stake attached to it.
Right, this was something originally meant for driving foundation stakes into the earth.
But depending on how it’s used, it can become a weapon.
 The stakes also have the advantage of being able to apply various techniques.
For example, in order to prevent Undead from forming in cemeteries, a holy attribute is usually incorporated into the stake.
 
 Right, in other words, we’ll be able to defeat this Undead by driving a stake with a holy attribute into it!
 
 ”Yes, this is the certain-death magic pile-driver!”
 ”AAaaaaaAaaaAaah!”
 
 The stake falls with intense force from above the Gashadokuro’s head, which has been gripped tightly by the lift and can’t move.
 It passes through the skull and bones body in one go, and pierces into the ground and continues on!
 
 Eh, what? Did I overdo it? It seems to be going quite deep with too much momentum…

 ”Ridiculous! Even that Gashadokuro has been defeated! Wh-, what the h**l is going on aboveground!”
 
 The Undead King Anakarinth is enraged by the surprise.
He thought he’d resurrect a part of the Undead army aboveground to commemorate the upcoming lifting of the seal, but someone had eliminated all of them.
 
 ”Hmph.
There seems to be those that can manage somewhat.
However! Once this seal is broken, My power will be nothing like this!”
 
 — Zudododododododododododod!
 ”I don’t know who you are, but remember this! Once the dawn of My resurrection —”
 — Zudododododododododododododododod!
 ”Say, what’s that noise from a while back already! And that strange shaking! What the h**l is going on?”
 
 Anakarinth shouted.
He also has a puzzled expression.
The coffin in which he was sealed was placed in the ground.
Although it could be said he was sealed in a considerably deep layer underground, conversely, he judged that it could be said that nothing would bother him here.
 
 ”Anyway, when the seal weakens I will immediately revive —”
 — Zudododododododododododododododododododododoooo!
 ”Hey! I told you earlier it was too noisy, for goodness sake, wh-, gi, gyaaAaaaAaaaaah!”
 Then Anakarinth’s scream echoed throughout the ground.
The Undead King didn’t realise.
The place where his coffin was located, a stake with the holy attribute had just been driven in.
That stake hit the coffin and pierced through—
 
 Yes.
Thus, Anakarinth, the strongest, most vile Undead King, whose resurrection was about to occur, was reduced to ashes without anyone knowing by the magic heavy machinery Wirk operated…
