The undead Adventurer returns home, but trouble blocks his path!
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer (Manga): Volume 9 follows Rentt as he finally sets out for his home village of Hathara with Lorraine. On the way, they encounter a horde of zombies and meet Hilde, the Gold-class adventurer tasked with destroying the undead.
