Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up - Chapter 95: The Devil Went All Out

「HYAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU MANAGED TO ESCAPE FROM THAT PLACE TOO, EH!」

The devil returned immediately with his usual creepy laugh.

「Now I shall return the debt in that place. Or not, it should be double… including the one from before!」

Although he was laughing, his eyes were dead serious.

He seemed to be extremely pissed at me.

「Devil Mephisto, No Life King… so they really came from the dimension prison…」

「Doomed… Humanity is doomed this time…」

Their voices trembled as if they had lost all hope. Well, I should ignore them for now.

Considering that they might get involved if we fought on the ground, however…

「Do you have wings to fly? Let’s fight above.」

「!!」

I kicked the ground, flying into the sky with wind magic.

「Mwahaha, trying to challenge me in the sky. Fine, let’s fight up here.」

The devil spread his wings and flew up to chase after me.

「I’ve told you before, but if I go all out, I can burn the likes of you to cinder in a second.」

「…」

「Mwahaha, it seems that you don’t believe it. Well then, behold… MY TRUE POWER!」

Storm-like magic was unleashed from the devil’s body.

The birds who happened to pass this place and were hit by that magical power fell immediately.

「HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!」

「…This is…」

Bulging blood vessels could be seen from the body of the devil who suddenly swelled up rapidly while raising a warcry.

Although his previous size was comparable to that of a human, his current size rivaled that of an o— …No, a troll.

He also grew another pair of arms from his shoulders.

His head grew bigger, elongating like that of a horse. Before my surprise ended, an additional sharp tusk grew from his mouth, and an ominous pair of horns sprouting from his temple. A third eye opened on his forehead along, and finally, an additional two pairs of wings unfurled on his back.

His tail turned into a snake that was snarling at me.

「MYAHAHAHA… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS FORM IS THE BEST AFTER ALL!! I’M BRIMMING WITH POWER!!!」

The same kind of creepy laugh came out from the face of the devil that had already lost his former visage.

「Do forgive me, youngster. Me in this form will rampage beyond control… LIKE THIS!」

The devil swung his arm lightly.

A lump of pure mana unleashed from his arm, severing the ground beneath my feet in two.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

A moment later, a terrifying explosion could be heard from afar.

When I looked at the source of the sound, I saw a wide, gaping hole in the sea that could be filled up with ships.

Eh, what happened just now?

It looked like something dangerous though…

I thought he had some confidence in his so-called true power, but… it turned out his power had exceeded my original estimation.

「Heheheh! It seems I need to get used to my true form since it’s been a really long time since I used it. But I definitely won’t miss the next attack.」

The silver lining was the fact that his attack just now fell into the sea. I couldn’t imagine just how much damage would be caused by that attack just now if it hit the city.

…It seemed I still couldn’t avoid damage even when fighting in the air.

「I guess I have to beat you immediately.」

「Mwahaha! Do you really think that the likes of you can beat me in my true form? How laughable! Since you’re just an undead, all I need to do is destroy you till there’s nothing left!」

Maybe because my remark pissed him off, the devil released his killing intent while baring his tusk toward me.

The next moment, his four wings spread open as he leapt toward me with terrifying speed.

「DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!」

A gigantic amount of mana was residing in his four fists that came at me from four directions.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

「—Eh?」

The devil ended up leaking a dumbfounded voice.

I mean, there was a huge wind hole opened in his massive abdomen; pieces of meat and blood were raining down from the said hole.

As for the reason for the huge wind hole, it was created when I accelerated forward before his fists reached me. My fist, on the other hand, reached him first.

…Oh well, I ended up going all out too since the other party did so.

As expected, not even I could predict that his abdomen would be torn up so easily with just a single punch of mine.

「I-impossible… This great me is…」

Maybe because his surprise surpassed his pain, the devil ended up trembling uncontrollably.

「Uhhh.. aren’t you actually a little… bit too fragile?」

「D… DON’T LOOK DOWN ON ME, BRAT!」

The devil’s punches came from behind along with his enraged roar.

I delivered an uppercut toward the devil’s jaw before his punches reached me.

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That uppercut blasted the devil’s head to pieces.

The punches of the devil that had already lost his head stopped immediately. Its wings were also starting to lose power, and it fell just like that to the ground.

It crashed on the ground and turned into splattered meat.

Even the Holy Knights who were looking at that scene had these dumbfounded looks on their faces.

「…Did he die?」

I descended to the ground and asked timidly to myself.

The body of the devil who had lost his head and a large part of his abdomen didn’t even twitch anymore.

「No, wait a minute… he might regenerate bit-by-bit, right?」

Upon a closer look, I saw that the lost part was wriggling lightly.

His regeneration ability was not as powerful as mine, but still, it meant that it was only a matter of time before he resurrected on his own.

「Should I just burn him till there is nothing left of him? No, he might be able to recover like me too…」

In the midst of that confusion, I got a flash of inspiration and walked toward the guy who fell on his rear.

「Uh… I have a suggestion for you.」
