The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

"Mother God of the earth and the craftsman" Botin and "Goddess of water and knowledge" Peria's Resurrection and Awakening. Besides, the subordinate gods of the local and water attributes belonging to the Alda forces swayed.

Especially upset were the gods who originally served Botin and Peria. They are the ones who followed Arda, the remaining great god, after the war against the demon king.

Through his battle with the Demon King's Army, the gods were intoxicated by Bellwood, who was at the forefront and continued to fight.

The gods who created their own roundabout reincarnation system and the giant and beast races were not recognized Vida, who created a new species until they interacted with the evil gods of the former demon army and the brave men who undead them anyway.

Gods who did not put their shoulders in either great god and who had somehow incorporated themselves into one of the forces of Alda who had won the dispute if they had focused on maintaining the world.

The history varies, but they are common in that they did not help Vida.

But such their lords Botin and Peria declared that they would side with Vida, not Arda.

The gods that were sealed with Botin, as well as the "Goddess of Flow" Pergtarta, who protected the sleeping Peria, imitate it.

What the subordinate gods are upset about is that there was no strong call to go back to their own. What does that mean?

Were you limited to being a fool who could not measure the will of Botin or Peria, a subordinate God but Lord, for being on Alda's side? Or did we just not have our presence in our eyes for the Botins?

The subordinate gods reached the speculation that is at the end of their strays and mournings.

'I'm sure Master Botin is discouraged by us. In fact, we mistook Master Botin's will. I swallowed the word that I would surely restore my honor and scorned the Hillwillows'

'And we have moved as part of the Alda forces, whatever the difference in degree. From the point of view of the Vidalists, it is' the enemy '. There is no way that the Vidalist Botin or Perrier can say' come 'to us.'

The subordinate gods were not fooled by Alda. Those who chose to take Alda's side at their will or not to take Vida's side.

From the point of view of the Vidalists, they are part of the Alda forces and are only enemies. Even if the situation has changed with Botin or Peria back, it is not a relationship that can be welcomed at will.

Unlike those who, like Bashas, the Goddess of the Rain Cloud, had no other path from the beginning than to belong to the forces of Alda, like the subordinate gods who came to God tens of thousands of years after the battle between Alda and Vida ended.

"But the honor of Hillwillow and Ark should be restored."

'That's not true. Indeed, those who denigrate Hilwillow, Ark, or Solda are rare in modern times. But that's not because honor has been restored. It's just that Hillwillow and the others aren't well known.'

Hillwillows summoned by Botin. People born in this world are taught the name of productive brave men as myths at an early age. But unlike Bellwood, Farmaun and Nine Roads, which sealed and led to God the Demon King Gudulannis, there are no subsequent episodes in the Hillwillows destroyed by Gudulannis.

As a result, their visibility, and awareness, is low in modern times. To the extent that relief representing each brave man is established in the temples of Botin, Peria, and Richland, people are rarely aware of it.

"One of the reasons it happened was because some of the achievements of the Hillwillows belonged to the Bellwoods. And because I left it to them to forget my other accomplishments'

Though, by then, our gods had already ceased to exist on earth. But it's still true that I didn't strike a hand at anything by believing 'for a new order'

It was necessary to make people think that they were the ones who deserved leaders in order for the Bellwoods and the others to put together the surviving mankind. I used Hillwillow and Solda feats for that. The subordinate gods of Botin and Peria did not stop those who judged them so.

"And the biggest reason... is because Zuckert has been disparaged to the point of the Hillwillows"

Unlike the Hillwillows, who ended up disappearing, Zacchart, who was resurrected as an undead (though, in fact, in a puppet-like state of only residual thought), is called a 'fallen brave man' and is denigrated.

That trend is particularly strong in countries like the Amid Empire, where the Alda faith is a national religion. Zuckert is often treated like the best of evil. Plays and plays treating Zacchart as an evil villain are performed, and the bard sings the poem.

And the names of Hilwillow, Solda, and Ark hardly come up in those plays and poems. To increase Zuckert's presence by narrowing down the villains, and to focus audience and audience awareness in the fight against the main actors that defeat it.

In this state of affairs, "Hillwillow and his honor are being restored" is very difficult to say.

"I've left it in this state... there's no way the Botins are going to recall us lazy people who didn't try to hit us in any way, even in the days of human healing"

'Indeed, Master Botin and the others are not trying to bring us back. But he's not even trying to bully us. Isn't that where the sincerity is hidden?

'No, it's not sincere to be hidden. Mercy. It is also against those who pray to us, not us'

If Botin and Peria disputed the subordinate gods who arrived at the forces of Arda in a temple or something, the priests and believers of the temple who served them would become enemies to Botin and the followers of Peria.

The subordinate gods guessed that the Botins hated the conflict that would arise from it.

'So what do we do?

'... we can't imitate like Yupeon very well. Very incapable, such as stripping the Lord God of his fangs'

Yupeon, the subordinate God of Peria, "God of Ice," was not among them. Because it was not long after Yupeon was found to be on Vida's side, not Alda, that Yupeon declared once again that he would separate himself from Peria, the main god, and refer to Alda as his chief.

After Peria moved out, I don't know what Yupeon thought, and maybe that's right. I couldn't measure it against the gods gathered here. After Yupeon, however, the gods, who once again belonged to the Alda forces and decided to fight the Vidalists, continued.

'Yupeon's determination... only decisiveness should be apprenticed. We are gods, and even if we are not as powerful as we think we are, we are unacceptably lax in our position to teach and guide people. "

But can we go back to the Botins now? Besides, if we get away from here, who's going to keep the world alive?

Neither have the lost gods done anything. I work in each divine realm to maintain the world.

And what shall we do with those who give shelter? Tailoring to heroes at our convenience and abandoning them at our convenience is not what God does. It's the work of the Evil God. "

And they were each raising heroic candidates.

"As we continue to maintain the world, we will have to direct the heroic candidates we have chosen not to bowl in with Vandaloo and his companions, and we will have to repeat the story so as not to conflict with the Vidalists. If you don't want to know who Botin is."

"Until we can continue to maintain the world by putting a trick on the divine domain, like the Bashas, we have no choice but to do so."

'Wait, I'm not really going to argue with Master Peria or Master Botin, but really the Vidalists...... is Vandaloo right!?

'Let him go wild and the world will turn upside down. You'll never get back together. There's gonna be a big change!

Among the subordinate gods there were also those who jeopardized Vandaloo's actions. But still, I can't override the fact that Botin and Peria are forming themselves into Vidalists with that Vandaloo.

"Dear Botin and Peria must be aware of the extent of this. I'm sure you have something in mind. '

"Instead of defeating them as enemies, maybe they're going to keep them from the inside out as allies"

If so, the subordinate gods likely to follow Yupeon also lost their reason to wave up their fists.

The subordinate gods, who could not make that decision, remained in form to the Alda forces, but stood around not to be as hostile to the Vidalists as possible.

But what changed that situation was the 'Dark Avalon case' … the resurgence of Gudulanis.

"What was Alda doing!? Are you going to use the Demon King himself instead of just [Demon King Shards] to defeat Vandaloo!?

"Such an idiot! This should be unexpected for Alda as well. But... it's something that shouldn't have happened. '

"No, what should not be is the resurrection of Gdulanis, too, but not the recognition of the merits of defeating that Gdulanis?

If it's for order, then we should settle with Vandaloo at all costs to completely destroy Gdulanis'.

'But there will be a change in the world that we cannot go back to making Vandaloo like him. The way the world is going to change, is that really okay?!?

Another subordinate god bites the subordinate god who makes a statement acknowledging Vandaloo. Acknowledging Vandaloo's existence does not just mean reconciling. It means that Alda gives up the goal of reclaiming the world before the arrival of Gudulanis the Demon King, and acknowledges the mutation of the world by the new species of Vandaloo and Vida.

Demons walk wide, the dead become undead and demons, and humans live with narrow shoulders in the shadow of the new species of Vida singing the spring of this world. Such sights as the Orbaum of today become common sense in this world.

... This is a view from the gods of the Alda forces, slightly different from reality. But there is no doubt that it will only be a very different society than before.

'Besides, you seem to be telling Vandaloo to eat all the souls of Gdulanis, so what are you going to do if he gets taken over by Gdulanis!?

And like Heinz, the subordinate gods of Botin and Peria, who are members of the Alda forces, cannot trust Vandaloo.

The soul of Gudhuranis, which should have been eaten in the soul of Vandaloo, is lurking, and the moment Vandaloo eats all the shards of Gudhuranis' soul, will Gudhuranis take over Vandaloo from the inside and come back to life again? You can't deny that fear.

'I said there would be a change, but it's already happening. Alda herself can't ask for a roundabout rebirth more than she has piled on Rhodocorte. Something needs to change. "

"That's a story that will be solved if we raise a god who will now preside over the reincarnation!

'If it's just our world, it is. But Rhodocorte also manages the reincarnation of different worlds we don't know about. What are you gonna do with that?

"Well, it will... let Rodocorte's men manage it for a while, and if he succeeds in establishing a new reincarnation of God, he will make our world reincarnate from his system. And then, on the condition that we pull the pile out, we can make Rodocorte swear it won't involve the world."

That's what the subordinate God asked, but is he aware that he can't do it? His face is bitter.

First of all, I do not know how long it will take for us to succeed in the establishment of God, who presides over a new circle of reincarnation. God is not a being born so often, nor is it so easy to make an existing God have a divine character about reincarnation.

The Alda forces are chronically understaffed in the first place. The Great God is Alda alone, whose Alda combines the Great God of light and life attributes.

Belwood, as a quasi-great god, and Nine Road and Pharmaun, were expected to preside over their respective attributes as the second great god, but Belwood fell asleep about fifty thousand years ago by The Evil Gods of the Sin Chain, and Pharmaun then ran off and fell back to the Vidalists.

I have succeeded so much in the last hundred thousand years in the establishment of a new young God, but I cannot yet say that I can afford it.

Leaving the reincarnation to a new God doesn't know when it will succeed. Even if it is done by an existing God, it is possible… it is unclear whether the management of the reincarnation of the circle can be carried out in parallel with the maintenance of the world.

And I don't know if Rodocorte's use can turn the reincarnation system without causing problems until he succeeds.

Furthermore, there is no guarantee that Rodocorte will fall back on the terms and conditions even if everything goes well, and that he will not renege on his vows later.

"In the first place, is it possible to let Rodocorte draw his hand from this world? The fact that Pile of Law worked meant that he must be a god in this world."

"Mm, mmm..."

The subordinate God, who was asked, could not speak the answer simply by groaning.

If the gods were faithful to Alda, they would have trusted Alda with 'Alda must have something in mind'... they would not have had the ear to be delusional and hear the objection. But the gods gathered together, including this subordinate god, cannot believe Arda, nor can they make enough decisions to fall back on the Vidalists.

"So what do we do? Do you still want to be a Vidalist?

"That's... but as Alda instructed, I disagree with moving the elite chosen among the heroic candidates and the faithful."

Alda, who saw Vandaloo gain a great deal of power in the Orbaum voting kingdom, made the decision to gather the forces of war within the voting kingdom on the Duke of Fazon territory, which was deeply related to the Heinz and their "Blades of Five Colours". And later he may intend to move from the port of the Duke of Fazon to Kalahad, one of the nations belonging to the Amid Empire, to join forces of war.

But for the subordinate gods, that can be a death-living issue. Because it is not uncommon for some of them to believe only in the Orbaum-elected kingdom.

Of course, it's not about transferring the temple from Orbaum, but it's elite... it hurts for those at the core of preaching and faith to move without taking over.

I know you're wary of being led by the Vandaloos, but for the subordinate gods, what you lose is too big.

'But are you going to leave Vandaloo to lead the faithful!?

"Then will you send the faithful to the Duke of Fazon?!? If you can't take the remaining temples and the faithful away from you by the Vidalists and gain new faithful in the Amid Empire, what you're waiting for is a future that will vanish in a few decades!?

"It's going to be two dances in the Duke of Jahan."

"Speaking of the Duke of Jahan realm...... I haven't seen the" Goddess of the Holy Spear "Lord Elk lately. In addition, God, who was giving shelter to the heroic candidates led by 'The Hero Princess' Miriam, has almost disappeared '

That being inconclusive, the arguments of the subordinate gods will be eliminated and dissolved.

But the subordinate gods of Botin and Peria will continue to try to distance themselves from the forces of Alda in a passive way that does not obey Alda's instructions and does not show up.

We don't have the power to stand up against Alda, but if we excuse 'it's still going to take some time to get around the elite, including heroic candidates', we can't afford to punish ourselves today's Alda forces. It was because so many gods watched.

In fact, Alda could not punish the subordinate gods of Botin and Peria for not following his policies and instructions.

I want to avoid consuming my powers before my showdown with Vandaloo, for example by striking 'piles of law' on the subordinate gods. And by punishing the subordinate gods, there must be no less than the number of gods necessary to sustain the world.

It was a bitter decision several times for Alda, who was being cut off from his faith in the Orbaum-elected kingdom by the Vidalists by the Vandaloos.

As an expression of the gradual collapse of the Alda forces, the Vida faith was rapidly penetrating in the Duke of Jahan's territory.

People who have been Alda believers for years rarely suddenly return their hands and enter Vida. However, more and more people are worshipping Vida, the great god of the same size as Alda, and the hero who defeated Gudulanis the demon king, in the same way as Alda.

No, not as clearly as Hadros Jahan, but "I am and always was a traditional Alda believer," more Vida believers said while still serving Vida in my heart.

Whatever within Alda's doctrine has already become part of a lifestyle or a social norm adheres to it as before. Regular life. Hate excessive luxury and respect those in a position above.

In time, I will also uphold Vida's doctrine. It is not difficult to adhere to Vida's teachings, which are conveyed inside the simple border mountains, such as greetings after a meal. The house adorns the Sacred Mark of Vida next to the Sacred Mark of Alda and offers prayers.

And the part of Alda's doctrine that clashes with the newly spread teachings of Vida...... I do not adhere to the doctrine that demons, especially undead, are all evil beings to be exorcised.

The undead, who indiscriminately hates the living, are indeed horrible. However, it has recently become clear that it is not all those undead.

Partly, but I was wondering if some undead would stand up to Gudulanis, the Demon King, to defend the world with heroes.

"As long as it's not a month since I invited you guys, it's wonderful that the people's consciousness reform is going so far. Opinions also began to emerge to establish a new Temple of Vida. We're planning to start construction soon."

Yes, Hadros, who had visited the Canakos' playhouse, labored them. By the way, I'm here with patience. Because he is supposed to have invited them publicly "to know the Vida faith".

It is a secret to wash the inhabitants of the Duke of Jahan, many devout Alda believers... to guide them.

That's why I decided to finish my official duties early and rest in my room, and I came this far directly in [the transfer] of Gufadgaan. To work for the Canakos.

"After your performance in the city, which was already the dominant city, including the capital, your next stage will be in the other Duke's territory. So... can you reside in my mansion, my friend?"

Then, to secure the identity of the first friend.

Hadros, you already have two demon kings in your mansion.

The King of Lighting Demons, a glittering collection of double-eyed, looking like a mirror ball...... replied that way while being held by Hadros, he does not show how to pull a single step.

"Oh, I know. It's for my escort and for when there was a time for escort, right?

Hadros is also a friend to Vandaloo, a difficult collaborator, and an unfortunate but not so strong associate to Hadros.

The life of the Duke, who is protected by strict security and armed escorts and who himself does more martial arts than line up, would not normally be the subject of guidance. But the opponents are the Alda forces and their followers.

Crack the mountains, crush the sea, rip the sky apart. There are several such supermen. Besides, the Duke of Jahan, ruled by Hadros, has long been a land of Alda believers. It is also possible that a servant of the Alda faithful will be commissioned by Alda to poison his meals and drinks in order to assassinate him.

Even if [your demon] can be used, it may be rendered incapable of combat before activation.

For that reason, Vandaloo had sent a demon king to defend Hadros. This can only be done because there is no longer a distance limit for connecting with the King of Demons.

"But we might also need a spare spare. Wouldn't it? Oh, yeah. I wonder if I could ask the next Demon King to instruct me in training. As you learn about the culture of Talosheim as a giant species, you'll be interested in Botyville."

"I'll get you ready."

"Oh Van is trying to sell some of himself out for bodybuilding propulsion!?

"Well, since you're a boy. Even if the bodybuilding wasn't a giant culture or history, and the boy brought it in, the duke knew it from the beginning."

So noisy to the two, Hadros said back with a bitter laugh.

"That's good. Because you have a monopoly on the main unit. Even as I throw myself into the harsh battle of politics every day, I ask for my friends for daily comfort."

At the end of Hadros' gaze was the figure of Vandaloo held by Kanako and Zadiris. But soon he said, "Oh?

and frowns.

"It's not his body."

"That's Hadros. I thought it was well done, but did you immediately get noticed '

The emperor, the Demon King, confessed that he was not the main body.

"This child is a true body type demon king. He's the demon king that Van created to experiment with increasing the body."

"Until just now, we all saw that nothing was different from the real thing. It looks just like the real thing, but when I touched it, there were a lot of strange things. Mostly my legs."

"I see. Legs, after all."

Total mobilization of absorbed [Demon King shards], shapes, colors and textures, as well as even internal structures, close to the real and not pseudo- but true-body shaped Demon King made by Vandaloo. But that's incomplete so far.

"Because I don't have enough [Demon King shards] to make my whole body, I still feel uncomfortable trying to do the same as the main body for some reason. It's the first time I've noticed Hadros, except for my mother, Pauvina, Princess Levia, and Gufadgaan, 'I just saw it.

"Isn't that noticed by quite a few people besides me?

Darcia and Pauvina noticed it because it smelled different. The True Body Demon King, who grew out of Vandaloo's body and just separated, had a different odor than the real one.

The Levian princesses Ghost realized that only the real Vandaloo had a spirit wrapped around it.

And Gufadgaan, he said, noticed with the total amount of soul he lived in. They say the real Vandaloo has an overwhelming amount of soul.

It should be noted that Vandaloo seems to be the only one who can spot the amount of soul just by looking at it.

"So... I guess the reason I spotted it is because I don't know you very well yet. I noticed because I was uncomfortable with the movement, but apparently, you're acting weird all the time."

"Mm, you do have an idea"

While staying in the Orbaum-elected kingdom, Vandaloo is consciously behaving like a normal human being, but he is unplugged and behaving freely inside the Silky Zuckert apartment, as well as in Eisen's Igdrasil and Vidal Demon Empire.

Crawl around walls and ceilings looking for Silky's hidden tricks, thread from his mouth and sew, and do another job with the bareback feet, tentacles, and third and fourth arms he grew on his back while working by hand. And it often does things that humans can't do without any particular meaning.

That's common, so maybe the more people who are used to seeing Vandaloo, the more they overlook Vandaloo's behavior because they think it's normal, even if it's inhuman.

"And indeed, Miriam and Elizabeth were surprised at the beginning."

"That Miriam... seems to be in trouble again"

"Oh, indeed."

As an English mentor, in fact, Miriam, who is also known by the gods of the Alda forces as the 'Hero Princess', was in trouble again.

"Don't let it get you down, Mr. Miriam. What you did in Orbaum is not something anyone can do. You should appreciate yourself more. So be sure to sign it."

"Sign me, too, on this sheath."

"Please ask me too"

Fans seeking autographs… surrounded by the knights of Hadros' escort.

"So I'm not such an amazing person! Because I don't know if my weird signature makes my fine sheath worth less!

With a little abandonment, Miriam signs with ink made from [Demon King's Ink Bag]. When Canaco told me to keep my autograph practiced, she thought I couldn't possibly need it with Carinia, but the demand for her autograph just increases, contrary to what I thought at the time.

"There's no such thing as diminishing in value! It is a possession to be made a family heirloom and communicated to future generations!

Miriam shook up at the proclamation of Ludario, one of the "Seven Mountain Generals" boasted by the Duke of Jahan, the "Fiery Mountain Shield General".

"Please don't! Don't leave it for future generations!

I can tell you decades, hundreds of years from now, that my signature is the family heirloom of the right famous family. It's embarrassing.

"Mr. Miriam, that's not true. You are a wonderful woman. From this appearance he took our feared hand in his hometown and let it fly into the outside world."

"Your brother's right, Miriam. Because of you, we were able to work together in Orbaum beyond the differences between Hendriksen and his sects."

"You're right, Miriam. Non and everyone, of course, now acknowledges the Lord. Why don't you admit to your own business?

But party member Arthur and his sister Carinia, childhood tame Borzofoy's rating for Miriam, doesn't show how it goes down, even if it gets ranked up.

"Indeed, I feel something glowing. Besides, if you are recognized for your achievements in Orbaum... or as soon as you return to Orbaum, the Adventurer Guild will recognize you as an A-level Adventurer"

Even Randolph, who finished taking care of the drumset, pushes me so hard.

"What are you talking about to Mr. Randolph! How can I compare to you yet!?

"I don't think any of the guys haven't done that yet compared to S-class adventurers. I don't know what to say.

Be prepared, junior, because in time statues will be established in your hometown and in the active Duke of Alclem and Orbaum, relief will be served in the temple, and paintings will be adorned in the Adventurer's Guild. "

Randolph laughs badly at people, remembering the path he once followed. Unexpectedly, Miriam held her head in the words.

"Oh no, I can't believe it meets the same eyes as Mr. Vandaloo...!

"Miriam, you'll get used to it as soon as you're equal."

Pompous, true body shaped demon king slaps Miriam with his shoulder-stretched hand to cheer him up.

"I don't think you'll get used to it that soon... Speaking of which, where is Mr. Vandaloo's main body doing now? Is this Adventurer's School?

'No, it's not an adventurer's school. Recently, just because I attended school, Principal Meorilis tries to give me credit with praise.'

"Is he doing that? I know how you feel..."

Randolph, who is using his extraordinary lecturer's leisure time to slap a drum, suppresses his eyebrows when he wonders if he's been away too long.

"Now my main body is turning with Ira and the rest of the party in Orbaum in solidarity with those found."
