Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

This is an almost incredible self-healing ability.

As far as I know, only that race has it in the entire world.

Undead demon clan.

That powerful body has no concept of lifespan and possesses nearly infinite vitality. No matter how severe the attack is, even if the whole body is shattered into pieces, it will not die.

For the undead demons, there is no such thing as being injured.

It's not just about wound healing.

Even as long as there is a trace of flesh left in the world, it can be restored to its original state infinitely.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Undead Demon Race is the strongest and most blessed race in the world.

Perhaps in terms of frontal combat capability, they are slightly inferior to the dragon clan.

But if you add in conditions like survivability, there is nothing that can be compared with it.

See my wounds heal themselves.

Both Rudeus and I noticed something unusual.

"What it is?"

Rudeus asked in shock.

Just now, as the wound was healing, I saw the black veins emerging from under my skin.

Definitely not something my body was meant to have.

I tried to clench my fists.

During this process, black veins emerged from under the skin like peeling off a cocoon. Without any thought, the fighting spirit naturally wrapped around them. The process was extremely smooth, as if it was an instinct I was born with.

I hesitated for a moment and said:

"I have a guess, which may not be correct... Perhaps Badigondi's arm has completely merged into my body, and those black things are the flesh of the undead demon."

"This……"

Rudeus was stunned.

Indeed, this is very strange no matter how you look at it.

After all, I have never heard that the body of the undead demon can have such an effect.

Even the chunks of Atofei's flesh in the original work could only fill in the gaps. But my current situation, rather than filling in the gaps, is more like it has completely merged with me, appearing and disappearing at my will.

Not only that……

"Want to try?"

Rudeus asked cautiously.

"...Let me ask you something first. Your healing magic should be able to reattach a severed hand, right?"

"As long as the severed hand isn't lost, I think it's fine."

"it is good."

Rudeus gave a positive answer.

I took a deep breath and chopped off my entire right arm with the magic sword.

"Snapped--"

The arm fell to the ground without incident.

The imagined scene of blood spurting out did not appear.

The cross-section of the arm was no longer made of bones, blood, and flesh, but a black substance similar to mud, wriggling in a strange posture, as if it was trying to grow a new arm.

"Hey, let me tell you... can you still be considered human?"

Rudeus' tone was awkward.

To be honest, I don't know what's going on.

Judging from the current situation, although I still maintain the appearance of a human and look no different from the past, the inside of my body is almost in the shape of an undead demon.

My eyes fell on the arm on the ground.

Even though the arm was separated from the body, it was not completely dead, but was trembling slightly.

"Can you control this arm?"

Rudeus asked.

"I...seem to be able to, but also seem not to be able to."

I frowned slightly.

Although the arm has been separated from my body, I still have a sense of close yet distant connection with it. If this feeling is strengthened, maybe I can directly control this arm through the air.

But this feeling is too unfamiliar to me.

After trying several times, I could only move my arm slightly.

"If it was Badigondi, even if his arm was blown into pieces as small as a fingernail and flew hundreds of meters away, he would still be able to control it."

"Hey, hey, hey, do you really think I'm that kind of monster?"

"Or else?"

"I am a human."

I said as I picked up my arm.

Gently close the arm section.

The next moment, countless black veins emerged from the arm's broken surface, and the previously severed arm was directly reattached. The wound on the broken surface gradually disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the black veins disappeared, the wound also disappeared.

I moved my arm a little bit, and it was no different from before.

Perfect healing.

"You still call yourself a human?"

Rudeus couldn't help but complain while also revealing an envious look.

I have been exercising every day so far.

However, because he was unable to entangle his fighting spirit, no matter how much he practiced his swordsmanship, he could not reach a high level.

This kind of self-healing ability is what he wants most as a magician.

At the very least, it can increase the chance of survival in complex combat situations.

“We need to keep trying.”

I muttered to myself.

Whether it's healing wounds as easily as the Undead Demons, or returning severed and separated flesh to the body, it will probably take a long time to fully adapt.

After all, I'm just a human.

Even if I gained some of the Undead Demon's abilities due to the fusion of my body with Badigondi, it doesn't mean that I really became an Undead Demon.

At least I can't imagine that I can be like Badigondi, who can recover easily even if his head is blown up.

Probably at most, he would be like Beishen II...

At the same time, I also have some guesses.

There must be extremely complicated reasons why my body has become like this.

Otherwise, if all they needed was pieces of undead demon flesh, my situation wouldn't be an isolated one.

Anyway.

My current body is beyond my comprehension.

I'll get a checkup when I get back.

……

……

After leaving the maze, we rested in the hotel for two days.

They said they wanted to help me recover after escaping the maze, but I was actually in pretty good shape. My body felt much lighter than before, and I felt more carefree than ever since I came to this world, as if I were flying in the sky.

Before leaving, Rudius wrote a letter to Milicion.

He should arrive at the same time as Paul and the others.

We then set off on our return journey to Shalia.

When we came here, it was Elinalize, me, and Rudeus. Now, with Roxy joining us, the return journey has become much easier.

Instead, I encountered unexpected difficulties.

Insomnia.

No, it's not so much insomnia...

It's more like I simply can't sleep.

This body is so full of energy that it is impossible to consume physical strength in a normal way. Even if I continue swinging the sword for three hours, I don't feel tired at all, and even my breathing is not disordered.

Even if I forced myself to lie down with my eyes closed, I couldn't fall asleep.

Are I going to have sleepless nights from now on?

Come to think of it, it seems that the Undead Demon King likes drinking very much.

Can you use alcohol to make yourself fall asleep?

As I was thinking this, I suddenly heard Rudeus's footsteps behind me.

"Why, you can't sleep either?"

"Um……"

Rudeus sat beside me with a heavy expression on his face.

I can roughly guess what he is thinking.

It's probably about Roxy.

As he got closer to home, he would soon have to face the issue of Roxy. He had recently made up his mind to accept Roxy, but how to explain it to Sylphy was also a problem.

"Don't overthink it, bro."

I patted him on the shoulder.

"Sylphy is a good woman. She cares about you very much. Although I feel a little sorry for her, as long as you plead with her sincerely, she will not make it difficult for you."

"That's why I have a headache..."

Rudeus smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Then he sighed.

"Anyway, let's just take it one step at a time... By the way, your hair seems to be a little long. Do you want me to trim it for you?"

"Ok?"

I couldn't help but give him a weird look.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Labyrinth: 92, Metamorphosis

"Your hair seems to be a little long, do you need me to trim it for you?"

Rudeus said casually.

I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and then I looked at Rudeus with a strange expression.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"
