Chapter 74: Flying in the Sky
TN: Forgotten Chapter
====
===Foolish, Overconfident Greenhorn===
「Huff, huff, huff… Is he… not chasing after us?」
We managed to slip away from the danger by using the moment when the No Life King got distracted by Bilzes.
I couldn't see their figures anymore when I turned around as we ran.
Feeling the pain of the wounds on my body, I yelled to make myself run faster.
「Run… run as far as possible…! He might chase after us if Bilzes dies!」
And then, at that moment…
Just when I thought that something had fallen from the sky, it fell right in front of us.
It was a sword.
But it had blood vessel-like lines which spread from the eye at its center on the sword's blade. Moreover, it was beating as if it were alive.
「What… the hell is this sword?」
「「「WHA?!!!!」」」
Suddenly, Ronda and Ilran were shouting in unison as soon as they saw that sword.
For some reason, I stepped back once it saw us with its eye.
「Since when?!」
「B-Bilze-sama should still be fighting… Don't tell me…」
「Eh? Guys, what are you doing?」
I was completely bewildered by my comrades' language.
Were they… frightened by me?
It was as if they saw me as the No Life Ki― N-No way!
「!!」
I looked at the bracelet on my left arm.
The bracelet cast a pale light.
Its illusion resistance was working… which meant…
「Are they… seeing the illusion because of this sword?!」
Despite his panic, Ilran charged at me, who was still trembling from fear.
「YOU UNDEAD B*STARD, WHERE'S BELLEAILE?!」
And of all things, he saw me as the No Life King.
「I-IT'S ME! I-I'M… BELLEAILE!」
「TCH! DO YOU THINK I'M THREE YEARS OLD…?!」
「P-PLEASE TRUST ME!」
My appeal ended up in vain since I could feel fighting spirit swelling up from my comrades' body.
「DAMMIT! LIKE HELL I'M GOING TO DIE LIKE THIS! WORLD BREAK (BIGBANG SLASH)!!」
「THIS IS MY EVERYTHING― STRONG・ TRUE FIST THRUST!」
WTF?!
I WASN'T THE NO LIFE KING DAMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT?!

===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===
A giant sword suddenly fell right on top of my head.
And though it squashed me, it was far from enough to kill me. Just when I managed to crawl my way out from beneath that sword, I saw a blond-haired man who wasn’t there before.
And then, this very same blond suddenly took out an ominous-looking sword and charged at me.
It looked like a demon sword. I mean he used a sword which had fangs on its blade and a sword with disgusting a eyeball.
Although their appearance alone was enough to send a chill running down my spine, none of them worked against me.
And then, after each sword failed, the blond held up another sword and flew into the sky at a breakneck speed.
「Did he just… escape?」
And he didn't seem to be planning to return.
But then, I had to say that his escape was awesome.
Since he could use various demon swords, that blond seemed to be quite powerful.
Although I felt a bit annoyed when attacked one-sidedly for no reason, I had no reason to go after him.
The fact that I couldn't fly aside, chasing after him for a little revenge would only turn me into a truly dangerous undead.
「Ahhh… Guess I have no choice but to find new clothes…」
I was literally stark naked right now.
There was no way I could get on the ship with this kind of appearance.
Rather, the female Holy Knight would surely chew me out before I could get on the ship.
But it was still daytime right now.
Like hell I could enter the city with this kind of appearance, nor could I afford to wait until night.
On the other hand, I couldn't use the highway with my current naked state.
And there was no place to hide my current state around this area t—
Suddenly, I realized a simple fact.
Shouldn't I just… fly in the air?
I heard that it was possible to fly in the air by using high-rank wind magic.
But the only wind magic I could use was the one that created a gentle breeze. Flying was a pipe dream―when I was still a human.
After all, even the simplest fireball by the current me had such terrifying destructive power.
If the current me used the simplest wind magic, I should be able to at least propel myself, right?
If I could fly in the air, I wouldn't have to worry about being seen naked by others, and I would be able to move freely at will at the same time.
「Yep, let's try it out now.」
I decided to challenge myself immediately.
Fortunately, this undead body of mine was really sturdy. It didn't matter how many times I failed.
「…Air.」
I pointed the palm of my hands to the ground, invoking the most basic wind magic.
Which reminded me that the reason why I started learning wind magic was to control the direction of the wind so that monsters wouldn't be able to find me from my scent. But all I managed to do was create a gentle breeze.
It seemed I was ill-suited for learning wind magic.
BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!
「UOOOO?!」
When I realized it, the ground beneath my feet was struck by a violent gale, and the recoil sent me flying into the air.
「Did I just… succeed?!」
No, not yet, the problem was starting from here.
Although I successfully generated enough wind power to send me up in the air, it was still only the level to be blown away.
If I couldn't float in the air, then flying in the air couldn't be done either.
「Kuh… controlling it perfectly is… tough!」
I either ended up spiraling out of control. Finding the right amount of power to propel myself was tough.
Nevertheless, it took me only a while until I started to get the hang of it.
It seemed that my affinity with magic had also improved after I became an undead.
「Well, I think I'll get used to this with a bit more time. The heck, I can even see the sea from here… I should’ve just done this from the very beginning instead of getting myself involved with those adventurers…」
Nevertheless… flying in the air at full speed like this was… really exciting.
