Hundreds Years After I Was Called [Just Corpse], I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up

Chapter 88: I Opened a Hole

After melting due to the devil’s attack, my lower half began to regenerate.

…Except for my clothes.

Thanks to that, my lower half was exposed again.

Strangely enough, people regarded this as more perverted than buck naked…

「Wonderful! You can instantly recover from that, eh! Truly a wonderful gift they sent to this boring place.」

I was not a gift, you psycho.

「Aah, no good! Now I really want to test how long you’ll be able to recover! But calm down, not so fa—! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I CAN’T HOLD IT BACK ANYMOREEEEEEEEEE!」

「So fast?! Try to endure it a bit more, will ya?!」

This time, he fired the beam right into my face.

My vision whited out for a moment then returned.

「HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HE RECOVERED EVEN AFTER I DESTROYED HIS HEAD! WONDERFUL! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!」

The devil rolled around, laughing non-stop.

There was nothing funny to laugh at though.

「Hahahahaha… But the lack of pain makes it rather boring… The sight of you writhing in pain is something that I love the most after all… Haa…」

Just when I was wondering what this chap was talking about, he suddenly heaved a sigh.

What the hell was wrong with this crazy fella’s mood switch?

Well, what he said befitted a devil, but he was truly crazy…

Being trapped with no way out in this place aside, like hell did I want to be in the same place as this lunatic.

Rather, why did he casually dismiss me as a mere toy?

「Well, I can’t seem to talk properly with the other party either… and I think he mistook me for some sort of punching bag that will never fight back.」

I ignored the devil who said whatever he wanted as he fired another beam of light.

Since the other party kept pissing me off for no reason, I unleashed my suppressed magical power, catching the beam of light with one hand.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

…And crushed the rampaging energy like crushing tomatoes.

―Boom!

「…Eh?」

The remnants of the beam of light flew in all directions.

Did you see that now?

If I went all out, this fella couldn’t even hope to scratch my skin.

「C-crushing my attack… with one hand? And that terrifying magical power…」

「Here’s a return gift from me.」

I closed in until I was right in front of that devil, nailing a punch to his abdomen just like what he did before.

「~?!」

The devil was sent flying around five hundred meters. He didn’t stop rolling even after he landed on the ground.

「Bu-Bu ga… na…」

「Hehe, you seem to have a really tough body too.」

「H-how can you move… so fast?!」

The moment he stopped speaking, I ran up to him and readied my kick.

「Let’s see if you can handle this.」

「~?!」

I kicked the devil, sending the latter flying in the sky till I couldn’t see his shadow anymore.

Even though I waited, I didn’t sense him returning.

「He’s not coming back…? Did I kill him?」

Well, honestly I didn’t care about that lunatic devil.

I should be worrying about myself now.

Could I truly not leave?

That devil himself had said that he had been trapped in this place for more than a thousand years.

Even with his long lifespan, no one could keep their sanity after being trapped in this kind of place for so long.

…Actually, he might have truly gone mad.

But not that I cared about it.

Maybe, I’d live in this place forever too.

「Nevertheless, that fella might have tricked me… He might know the exit…」

…Not to mention that my lower half was completely exposed.

Although I didn’t have to worry about meeting anyone in this place, I was completely at wits’ end with my current half-naked appearance.

Before I noticed it, tears began to flow from my eyes.

「No… all I want is to die faster… and yet, this is all I got… Dammit… Are you f*cking kidding me…? What should I do…?」

Pushed into an abyss of despair, I felt my anger explode like boiling magma.

With nothing to vent this wrath of mine, I screamed as loud as I could.

「F*CKKKKKKKKKK!!!」

BOOM!!

「—Eh?」

A hole appeared in the empty white space.

◇◇◇

「How dare… a mere toy send a duke-rank devil like me flying?! I planned to toy with him for a while, but… I’ve changed my mind! Now I’m going to use my full power to ki― Eh? Where is… he?」

The devil Mephisto, who was flying back with an enraged look on his face, found out that the irritating undead had already left.

「Did he… escape? Kukuku! You think you can escape from me! You think you can escape from this closed space just because you managed to open a hole in front of yo— Eh?」

Only then did he realize that a hole had been opened in that open white space.

The scenery that he saw on the other side of the hole wasn’t the white world. It was a world full of various colors.

「Is that… the outside world?」
