The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

The battle on the border between the Duke of Hartner and the Duke of Fazon, where the traditional methods of war had not been practiced for a long time, was instantly destroyed by intruders in a loose atmosphere somewhere in between.

Where is the brave man! I'll kill you! Bellewood, Far Mountain, and Ninelord will tear you apart!

The intruder looked like a willow at first glance. However, it is not branches or leaves that are hanging, but countless tentacles. And the area that touches the trunk is covered in flesh and mucus, with many more sharp thorns and mouth.

Ruvesford remembered his appearance as the "violent dragon god".

That's the 'Evil God of Despair' Zobubelogia! Stupid, he must have been sealed by the Bellewoods 100,000 years ago... before the Zuckerts were killed by Gudulanis!

"You're saying the seal is off?

Yes, Mr. Pauvina. However, I hear that the Great Gods controlled his seal. Therefore, there must now have been a seal of other evil gods and vidian gods in Arda's hand. Why is that at this time...? No way!

Ruvesford took a big breath and stood up with his back foot and shouted.

Arda broke the seal! What's he thinking!? Even if they wanted us to fight each other, there's the Duke of Fazon in here! You're going to bring your own followers with you!?

"Ruvez, why are you shouting so loud? You don't have to make such a loud noise, and you're not angry or in a hurry, right?

There's a reason for this, Master Pauvina.

Stopping his act of astonishment and anger, Ruvezford began explaining by restoring his forefoot to the ground.

"In order to get the Duke of Hartner to pass on the information, and because he screamed about Bellewood and the others, the Duke of Fazon stabbed him with a nail so that they wouldn't mistake him for a vidian like us."

The voice of Ruvesford, who is returning to the original appearance of a sub-god about a hundred meters in length, passes well. The louder the voice, the more people over ten kilometers away will recognize it as words.

They used it to share information with their own forces, while attempting to convey it accurately to the enemy forces and demoralize them.

In fact, Levezfort's eyes reflected the disturbing soldiers of the Duke of Fazon.

So how about letting the slow-moving Duke of Fazon fight Zobubelogia and wait for both sides to get exhausted? So we can win with minimal danger. "

Of course, the whispers and voices of Pauvina of Levezfort have not reached the Duke of Fazon.

Hmm, I guess so.

"That... seemed kind of cowardly, but I can't help it."

"Yeah, well, it's an enemy army. I think it's pathetic."

Pauvina and Reinhardt had a slight resistance to Levezfort's appeasement, but the Duke of Fazon was convinced that the army was not just a helpless civilian, but an enemy to themselves.

It's unexpected for the Duke of Fazon's army, but for Pauvina and the others, they're just turning themselves into Zobuveloggia.

That's right. Personally, I'd like to consider surrendering to us for protection... because this isn't the Vi 'dar Magic Imperial Army. "

The Horseman Demon King riding on Juliana declares Vandalou's intentions.

We will leave their lives and deaths to our choices and efforts, as well as to the decisions of our commanders.

Apparently, Vandalu has a low priority to defend the life of the Duke of Fazon. Even if he was a believer in The Goddess of Life and Love, he didn't want to help until he talked to the military commander of a friendly country.

They declared this war a jihad, so I can't help but think that the opponent would have turned into a total evil god who hasn't changed his mind.

However, it seems that Arda has embedded a fragment of the Gudulanis soul, so I can't leave it behind.

Pauvina and the others looked up at the zobubeloggia in surprise. I had heard that Arda might take advantage of Gdulanis' Soul Fragments, but I didn't think he would be parasitized by the mythical Demon King Army cadres even in modern times.

That's... not good.

Levezfort thought about what to do about this situation while sweating cold. I didn't want to fight Zobubelogia if I could. Because Zobubelogia is one of the great executives of the Demon King Army and much stronger than him. And because he knows information that he doesn't want to know.

"Isn't this the only place for you to come to the main unit and eat him...?

There are no monsters or insane people who believe in Zobubelogia as many as 100,000 years ago, so if they gradually weaken and succeed, they will disappear... but it will take years until then, and now, just after the seal is broken, there seems to be not only killer intentions, but also excess energy.

If possible, I want you to come to Vandalu immediately and destroy every shard of Gdulanis' soul.

Ah, sorry. I have a lot to do, so it will take a while to get here. "

That's right, don't kill me!

"Hey, Luvez. You shouldn't bother Van."

"That's right. Aren't we trained for this?"

Zuckert, Arc, Hillwillow, Solda, I'm going to squeeze your guts out of your mouth!

Meanwhile, Zobubelogia is not aware of what is happening on the ground, and the mouth of the part that hits the trunk keeps spitting out the names of the heroes with a murderous voice. A tremendous amount of lethality has been released from the appearance of the anomaly, but that was a thank you to the men of both armies.

Because the yelling is scattered in human language, the non-human atmosphere is damaged and the spiritual influence is alleviated.

"General, this is not the earliest time you've been involved in the practice of war!

"I know, High Septon! Assemble an Elite Crusader to attack Desperate Gods! Offer a temporary truce to the Duke of Hartner's army, send an envoy!

The Duke of Fazon Army adds a cadre of Arda Temple priests and warriors to the elite who have gathered in the existing Duke of Fazon Army from all over the country, either directly under the Oracle of the gods of the Arda Army or at the direction of the recipients, and it is composed of two parts to attack the Duke of Hartner and the Duke of Birgit simultaneously.

At the core of the original army, non-military participants are also composed of the faithful of the gods of the Arda faction with a thick faith, so the chain of command is stronger than that of the jihadist army of the Holy Nation of Amid and is more closely bound.

"Temporary truce!? Stupid, while they float to the unexpected evil gods, they will dare to destroy and push to the border mountains!

"Hmm, what are you doing?! High Priest, are you out of your mind!? Or did you not hear that dragon's voice!?

However, it seems to have been effective only during the Jihad.

The General who commands the Duke of Fazon is a man of Arda faith, a man who believes in the cause of jihadist warfare and who believes that the Vi 'dar Demon Empire, which regards undead and demons as people, is insane, but only a soldier. As a leader of the army, he obeys the orders of the Duke of Fazon, but acts with common sense priorities.

In contrast, the High Priest, the chief warrior of the Temple of Arda, who is participating in the army, believes that if he can fight under Arda's will, even if he dies, it is his will, and so should the other believers. In other words, he was a fanatic no different from Ariek.

"What are the generals doing? Still have instructions!?

"Ah, you're telling us to die standing on a stick!? I'll let you do it!

And the former elite troops joining the army were still servants, and the hero candidates from the Adventurers were quick to cut through the dysfunctional organizations.

"Defeat that evil god first! [Coming of the messenger]!

The judgment was absolutely true and, moreover, correct as the deeds of the gods' blessed heroes.

"... there!

However, Zobubelogia recognized his signs of activation of the [Coming of the Patron] as the presence of the brave.

Be my bread! Brave army!

Shine the trunk of the meat, and wave countless tentacles like whips. Unfortunately for the Duke of Fazon, the tentacle suddenly grew tens of times longer.

"Wow!?

"Hyiiiiiiiiiing!

Among the evil gods at least rank 13, Zobubelogia, the "Evil God of Despair", who was the great executive of the Demon King Army, has a high power. Candidates for heroes and ex-essential troops are still somewhat stronger than their servants. Soldiers, knights, and Divine Warriors cannot compete with each other. With a more powerful tentacle than Kraken, we can only dance like leaves of a tree.

Half of the Duke of Fazon's army was exposed to the attack, and a small group of tentacles were hit and blown away, except for the heroic candidates and the former elite.

"Ugh, help me...."

However, for some reason, many of those attacked were alive and seeking help on the ground where they had been rolled over.

"Wait, I'll get you a potion right away!

"We'll rescue the wounded and back up the retreat!

"The General, the General is down!

The Duke of Fazon's military discipline was about to collapse. Half of the officers who make up the army have been seriously wounded, except for a handful of the dead.

"Now, drink this... ufu?

But it was the Duke of Fazon himself who stabbed him.

"Ah... this is the treachery of betraying my comrades...!

A soldier stabbed himself with a sword in the stomach of a soldier who tried to make him drink potion snapped with a trance expression.

"YOU, GUYA!?

"Ahahah! A great knight has been stabbed from behind by me and fallen unusually!

"Hahahaha! Let me kill anybody!

"Alright, I, kill me! No, I'll die on my own! Death by breaking the commandments that forbid suicide!

"Kill him! Kill the goddamn grandfather of the High Priest who insulted you! Can't you follow the General's orders!?

It was as if they had forgotten common sense, conscience, military discipline and the law. This led to the complete collapse of the Duke of Fazon's army as an organization.

If only half had been lost, fanaticism would have kept the fight going. But there's nothing we can do about half of them becoming enemies alive.

Zobubeloggia, who did it, laughs at her chest as she floats in the air.

"Everybody, let's take it down! Rheinhardt, tell the Commanders to drop if you don't have Condition Abnormality Immunity and Mental Abnormality Immunity skills or magic items with the same effect!

Having checked on the situation, Pauvina decided to go on offensive if she could not see any further.

If left unattended, he will gain power from the Duke of Fazon's army, which converted him into a believer until Vandalu arrives. He will not even notice, but he will be taken over by fragments of the soul of Gdulanis and the old Demon King will be resurrected incompletely.

She flew with Yamata to Ruvesford, and Juliana flew through the sky by the Demon King, approaching the "Evil God of Despair".

"Hmm? Are you Levezfort...? I feel slightly different, but yes, I want to ask you something. Where are the brave ones now? Where did Master Gudulanis and the rest of his people go? Answer me."

In contrast, Zobubeloggia noticed, but he didn't recognize Luvezfort as his enemy. He seemed a little confused, but he turned around with a arrogant attitude and asked questions.

Ha! Answer me, brave men - you don't need to know! Die! "

Looking like it answered a question, Levezfort's "Breath of the Current", released in the middle of his words, struck directly, and Zobubelogia crashed into the ground without a voice.

Ki, you!? Are you crazy!? To defy me is the same as to defy the Devil! And have you forgotten my thanks for listening to the Devil!?

The tentacles are then swinging toward the earth and screaming as the earth sounds.

Ugh... let me tell you something about my past that Pauvina-san and Reinhardt didn't want to know about!

Yes, Zobubelogia was a big executives who said to Gudulanis, "I think it's funny, so let's use it." When Levezfold, "The Evil Beast King of the Pigs" Bodod, and Zoza Seiba, who are not here, betrayed the gods of the world and turned to the Demon King Army.

However, since Levezfort's identity was known not only to Pauvina and Reinhardt, but to the Duke of Hartner as a whole, no one cared more. Pauvina nodded "Hmm" on his head.

After all, it was a past that others didn't want to know about, even though they thought, "Don't worry about it now."

I see! You're going to murder the self that just woke up from the seal and take my place! Oh, my God... that's wonderful! At this moment, for the first time, I truly believe that you deserve to be our countrymen!

Meanwhile, in the head of Zobubelogia, more than 100,000 years ago, the mythical era when the gods of "Lamuda" and the Demon King army were fighting, it seemed that all seven brave men were alive and stopped in the era when they were sealed.

In his head, Gdulanis still reigned over the Demon King army, and Levezfold was the lower end of the army, which had been turned over to the Demon King.

Hyi!?

And the admired Levezfort himself was frightened as he raised his creepy, unconsciously cramped scream.

But no matter how much you share my values, you will not be allowed to defy me!

"Kola! Don't make fun of our Luvez! [Bomb Stick]!

The tentacle shaken by the zobubeloggia toward Ruvesford was shattered and played by a wave of Pauvina's stick standing on his head.

The main unit will be here soon, but please hold on a little longer as we leave reinforcements and move to another location soon.

"Reinforcement? Who the hell is this?

Yes, two canes fell from the sky sooner than Juliana asked the Horseman Demon King. It turned into a terrible figure when it was stupid in the air.

I didn't expect to be thrown out where such a big thing is! But we have to do it!

The "Five Evil Dragon Gods" Fidilug, a deformed five-headed, one-tailed dragon that produces the head of a single-eyed snake on the part that touches its fingers in a shape that resembles a huge hand overall.

But at least I wanted you to drop it a little bit backwards!

At first glance, it is a huge tree, but Zozogante, the god of the dark forest, made eyes instead of fruit.

Both pillars are the lower end of the former Demon King army and, contrary to Ruvesford at the time, are evil gods who turned back to the gods of Lamuda.

Unexpectedly, Ruvezford shouted at their appearance.

You didn't have any better reinforcements!?

What!?

Too much truth!

They are as strong as Levezfort and together they should be no match for Zobubelogia.

"Kh, I don't want you to aim for my position with your lower ends aligned... no, that's good! I can't, but I'll kill you!

"The Knight of the Thousand Blades," Bardilia thought, confident that a fierce battle with the shouting Zobubelogia would begin.

"The morale of a general who will see this battle... no, how long will his sanity last?

However, Vandalu seems to have put aside some reinforcements that are gentle on the general's spirit.

"After graduation, you guys are in class. The subject is music."

Randolph, don't be ridiculous.

"True" Randolph, who held his dagger with his left and right hands, and former hero preparatory school principal Meorilis stood in front of Zobubelogia.

At that time, Heinz's "five-colored blade" was in an ambush planted by Vandalou as he advanced through the border mountains towards Talos Heim.

"Everyone moves their body thinking it's warm-up. But don't wear it out too much."

Vandalou built a valley in the border mountains to release the monsters for the diversion, thus opening a hole in the boundary between the gods of the Vidas. Through it, Heinz and the others infiltrated the border mountains. But Vandalou wasn't sweet enough to leave the inside of the hole deliberately drilled for the operation unprotected.

Golems of various shapes, made of mythrill and adamantite, stood in front of Heinz.

"Try not to wear them out too much, just wear them out even if you face them seriously!

As Jennifer said, the Golems had a nasty structure that had to be depleted if they were fighting properly.

The magical metal used is not the enemy of today's "five-colored blade", which is made of Orihalcon with its main armor. However, there was a cavity in the Golem's body, and the contents there were troublesome.

When you destroy the Golem, it ignites and explodes. Adhesive that attaches weapons and Golem wreckage. Drugs that vaporize into poisonous gases when exposed to air, or pathogens that infect air.

On rare occasions, liquid metal golems are placed inside, and the moment the outer golem is destroyed, it may attack.

"Shouldn't it be a priority to pull back and join the jihadist forces behind us and defeat the evil gods that contain the Gdulanis fragments that Bellewood and the others have just spoken of!?

If you leave Gudulanis alone, Selen, and the world will be in danger!

Diana asserted her best opinion, but Heinz shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but if you really want to go, just you and Jennifer."

"Why!? To give priority to defeating the Vandalou?

"No, because when Derissa and I meet, it's counterproductive."

When Heinz answered, Delisa answered confused Diana and Jennifer.

"What do you think will happen if we, especially Heinz, return and join the jihadist army? The Vi 'dar Demon Empire... do you think Vandalu will temporarily cease fire with us and fight the evil gods?

"That's... not true."

"Ah, just like the time of the Rokdo Saint."

Heinz said more to the two people who remembered the Dark Avalon incident.

"No, it's not the same. Vandalou will give us priority over the evil gods. To protect the Vi 'dar Demon Empire from us."

Heinz thought that if the Five-Colored Blade returned to the path that had prioritized defeating the evil gods with the shards of Arda's unleashed Gudulanis soul and reunited with the Jihad, Vandalu would prioritize protecting the Vi 'dar Demon Imperial Army on the battlefield.

Because it is not Olbaum, where innocent people live, where the evil gods are exposed, but a battlefield where there are only allies and enemies. There is a clear distinction between what needs to be protected for Vandalou and what is not.

"And perhaps the evil gods that Arda unleashed, when combined with the fragments of the soul of Gudulanis, are weaker than the Six Holy Mosques. That's why Vandalou has more room than before."

Heinz of the Arda followers doesn't seem sane to let go of the gods with the demon king's soul fragments embedded in them, but he didn't think that he would let go of anything more powerful than the Six Holy Mosques.

That's why Vandalou can afford a temporary truce with Heinz.

"And when we get back, Vandalu runs away to protect our fellow undead and monsters from us. Even if Arda had unleashed evil gods elsewhere. Because we are more threatening to Vandalu than the evil gods."

Jennifer said to Heinz, "How can you say that!? He replied.

"That's because this ambush is lukewarm enough to stop us... because Vandalu would have been here himself, but he's not!

It is highly likely that the elite that comes through the deliberately created boundary hole is the elite unit centered on the "five-color blade" or the "five-color blade". And yet, it's only a slightly troublesome Golem to defeat, and it's not enough to intercept, because there would have been a Vandalou or his counterpart here to intercept Heinz.

The Golem that Heinz is fighting for now is only for the exposé he has prepared for the potential heroes who may be coming for Heinz.

The absence of the Vandalou is a priority for him over intercepting Heinz. For example, in addition to the battlefields where the Jihad and the Vi 'dar Demon Imperial Army are fighting, Arda may be flying around the world to defeat Gudulanis and the evil gods.

But if Heinz joins the jihadist forces outside the boundaries of the mountains, their priorities may turn upside down. So if Vandalou prioritizes killing him to protect his people from Heinz, the evil gods will be set free.

"So you want Vandalu to destroy the Gdulanis Soul Fragments!? We're trying to take him down because he could be taken over by Gdulanis!?

"As long as it prevents damage from other evil gods as a result. It doesn't matter if Vandalu, who appeared before us, has already been taken over by Gudulanis or has not yet been taken over.

The fastest way to deal with the Gdulanis Soul Fragments, which will be scattered all over the place, is not with us, but with Vandalu. "

Unfortunately, Heinz doesn't have the mobility to move around the world in an instant.

And in fact, if Heinz joins the Jihad, Vandalu will make killing him his top priority. To protect the Vi 'idah dragon, the Jigrat.

The Five-Color Blade must also do everything in its power to defend itself against Vandalu, who does everything in his power to kill Heinz while defending Jigrat and the Vi 'dar Demon Imperial Army, which continues to frenzy. In the aftermath, the jihadist army will be wiped out, and Milg Shield will suffer enormous damage.

For Vandalu, the lives of the Borks, Budallions, Schneider and the Ziggrats are far more important and noble than the lives of the hostile and unseen Miggleshield people.

In the meantime, the gods released by Arda everywhere will continue to be contained by Vandalu's companions, and if they fail, Gdulanis will be resurrected incompletely again. Neither Vandalou nor Heinz wants it to unfold.

"But if we keep going, will Vandalu come before he defeats the evil gods to protect Talos Heim?

"That's not true. There is no Talos Heim ahead, or a fake city with no inhabitants. That's why Vandalou can keep us in the lookout."

You have a trap in front of a deliberately created hole in the boundary for diversion, but you can't leave something important behind.

We've moved the mountains, so we can certainly move the city. So there's nothing worth defending for Vandalu beyond this path.

That's why Heinz waited for Vandalou to show up.
