The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

The Vandalus, who had surrendered to the asteroid-shaped evil god named [Evil God of Dream Death] Lugornok, were puzzled.

No, I don't know how to take it even if I suddenly surrender.

The Vandalites came to the moon to confirm the presence of the Moon's monsters.I didn't expect to encounter the evil gods of the remnants of the Demon King's army.

If they were just attacking us, we couldn't help but to intercept Vandalus.

However, if you are surrendered, you must choose between accepting or rejecting it.The ingredients were not enough for the Vandalites.

(For now, it doesn't seem like a deception because [Danger Sensing: Death] doesn't react and doesn't feel murderous.)

Looking at Vandalu, Lugornork muttered as he slowly moved the eyeballs in the back of his lips.

Huh...? I don't know what to do... even if you say that...

Apparently, Luglnork is a no-plan... surrender without any thought.

Gfadgharn, do you know this evil god?

Shade, is Gfadgarn still with you?

Well, there you are. Behind Vandaloo.

"[Evil God of Dreams and Death] Le Gornok... that sounds familiar to me"

Wow!? I was really there!

Asked by one of Legion's personalities, Shade, Gfadgarn emerges silently from the space behind Vandaloo.

The figure belonged to the same elf girl as usual, but she talked normally in space.Perhaps they are manipulating the surrounding space to maintain the presence of air around them.

"That's right, I remember. As soon as I got down to [Lambda], there were rumors that an evil god named Lugornok had disappeared.At that time, I was not interested in others, so I did not ask for details about what was going on, so I did nothing but that.

Great Vandalu, I'm so sorry I couldn't help you. ”

No, but that's the only time I heard Lugornok's name?

“Yes, I have not heard of Lugornork since then.”

Vandalu explored his mythological knowledge, but the name of the evil god, Lugornok, was nowhere to be found.I asked [Mountain Queen Ryujin] Tiamato and [Moon Giant] Diana through the demon king in various places, but they had never heard of Lugornok either.

What? The intelligent creatures of this world?

And it seems that Lugornok doesn't know about Gfadogharn either.

"I am the [Labyrinth Evil God] Gfadgarn."This figure depends on the price. "

That's right... I'm Lugornok

"Lugornok, answer the question of the great Vandalu."What did you do as a member of the Demon King's army?How long have you been here? "

”As a member of the Demon King's army, I didn't do anything.I've been here ever since I came to this world. "

I see, here all the time... here all the time?

Understanding what Lugornok's answer meant, Gfadgharn accidentally turned his eyes around and asked.

Lugornok came to this world led by Demon King Guduranis, but he escaped immediately after......Hidden in space, Guduranis had been hiding for more than a hundred thousand years after landing on the planet Lambda.

You didn't quite get it, did you?

Because I'm from a stunt race that kills my breath and hides behind it.

[Evil God of Dream Death] It seems that Lugornok was an ecological species that spent most of its life in a suspended state.By analogy with the creature of "Earth", it may be close to desert frogs that wake up and operate only during the short rainy season.

But if Guduranis found out, there was a danger of destroying her soul. But why?

... I didn't want to work.

And the reason I left the Demon King's army at the risk of being destroyed was simply because I didn't want to work.

Lugornok had a lazy nature, and if he wanted to be lazy, he was an evil god who would risk annihilation and defy Guduranis.

As they continued to hide behind the moon, the Heroic Army was completely unaware of Lugornork's presence.That's why Bellwood never went to space looking for him.

But didn't Guduranis notice that Lugornok wasn't there?Normally, I'd notice later and turn my back on the pursuer. ”

A tyrant ruled by force won't be able to keep the defector alive.

Gufadgharn answered Legion's question.

"Perhaps you didn't notice."The number of evil gods that follow Guduranis is not one hundred or two hundred.A powerful and well-known being...... Anyway, if you were a big man like Dopobeze Palau, you wouldn't have remembered the names of phenomena like me, Fidirg, and Zozogante at that time.

Besides, even though the Demon King's army was called an "army", it was actually a group that could not be called a military organization. "

The demon king army was named after the evil gods led by the demon king Guduranis and the monsters used by the evil gods.Therefore, it is actually an army, not an army.

When the original world was on the verge of destruction, it was just a group of people with more than a certain amount of power that Guduranis could take to other worlds or deemed worth taking.

The evil gods also feared and obeyed Guduranis as the Devil King, but they did not form an organization.

Therefore, no one knew the appearance and name of all evil gods, including Guduranis, and what kind of personality they were good at.

As a result, no one noticed Lugornok, whose name was originally unknown, was gone.

Well then, they don't even know you, do they?

Maybe? I didn't do anything I could to mimic here, but I don't know.

The customer just floats behind the moon and does nothing.Moreover, no one in the Demon King army remembered or forgot about Lugornok, so neither Zulwarn nor the former Demon King army, who had turned to the Vida faction, knew him.

If you were looking at Lambda from space, you might have seen Lugornork behind the moon.However, Lugornoak has mimicked from his back that he can only see as an asteroid, and we will have to go between him and the moon to see who he is.

For that reason, I don't think Zulwarn or Rodocorte noticed it either.

... if you were careful, you might have found it, but there was no reason to prioritize the universe, where nothing had happened, over the planet "Lambda", where the remnants of the Demon King's army were lurking.

In fact, Vandalu and the others came to the moon because the earth was more or less at peace.

"However, it is impossible to remain in existence for more than a hundred thousand years after being forgotten by all who are more than God."Gods and creatures alike need to be fed, not to do anything, just to stay alive.

Lugornoch, how do you get the prayers and the awe that feeds you? ”

As Gfadgharn visited, Lugornok, who is not even known as a human, will not be prayed for, nor feared.Then, no matter how long he can live in suspended state, the evil god from the race cannot survive for a hundred thousand years.

"Oh, this is how we create monsters."Just take the time.

A monster? A golem?

No, it's right underneath me.

Gfadgharn was told... that Vandalus would not move from behind, so Vandalus would go underneath Lugornok.

Ah, there you are. It's like shellfish. "

There were more than a hundred creatures and monsters that were buried in the sand and wrapped in hard shells.

The shell is about a meter in diameter, half clear and visible inside.There is something like a beetle or a crustacean floating in the liquid.

Is it a monster that lives on the inside of a shell that can withstand space, using a filled liquid?

Yes, that's how it is.

It was born as an egg, but it grew without breaking its shell.While making the egg shells as large as shells, they become adults while floating in the liquid filled inside.

The energy source is the surrounding magic.It absorbs the contaminated magical power of itself, its kind, and Lugornok, and grows over hundreds of years.

The breeding method is monogamous because it is male and female.Lay an egg in its shell, stick it to a part of its shell, spend decades wrapping it in its shell with liquid... and when it's ready, push it out like a shell to increase it.

"... it's an amazing monster to grow and reproduce without breaking the eggshell."I can't seem to move a single step by my own will. "

"Rather, it's harmless at a level where you want to suspect that it's a monster."No, rather, it absorbs a little magic, so I wonder if it's a beneficial beast? ”

I doubt if there is a common monster instinct to harm humans.

Oh, wow!

It's amazing to be able to survive in space, but Vandalus feel sorry for some reason for an ecosystem that spends all of its energy living motionlessly like Lugornok.Knochen seems to be worried about whether this monster's shell should be interpreted as a bone.

I've never thought of a name, but for now, let's name it Shernock.This Shernork is only on the moon, so naturally he has never come into contact with humans.He looked up at me underneath me, looked up at me with a little awe, and was in awe.

I have fallen the stars on the moon to maintain their faith. "

See the stars?

I'm using magic to distort the orbit of a hundredth of a star that crosses the moon and falls to the moon.

Lugornork dropped a meteorite on the moon to show the Shernorks that he could do such an amazing thing.They are small, and even if they fall, there is no impact that would jeopardize the moon itself or bend the orbit by just creating a small crater.

However, the vibrations were also transmitted to the Sherlocks, so it was just right to awe the Lugornoaks.In addition, apart from what he intended, meteorites sometimes fall on the moon, and Sherlock misunderstood that they were also the work of Lugornoak, so it was convenient.

And most importantly, when a small meteorite fell on the moon, no one cared. It's harmless.

Can you drop it on Lambda instead of the moon?

But on the contrary, Vandalu felt a sense of crisis.If LeGornoch were free to maneuver the orbit of a meteorite, wouldn't it be possible to drop a giant meteorite on Lambda instead of the moon?That's what I thought.

Gfadogharn and Knochen seem to have no sense of crisis around them, but Puluto and Legion are relieved.

If it's possible or impossible, it's possible.But I think it will burn down in the middle. "

Burning out?

I don't know why. I've seen small stars fall into the [Lambda] many times before, but most of them burned out before they fell. ”

……

I think Gfadgarn, Lugornork is talking about shooting stars.

If a meteorite enters the atmosphere, Goufado Ghan will burn due to friction... I guess most of the residents of the [Lambda] world didn't know.

As an experience, Gufado Ghan, a former Demon King's army who had descended from space into "Lambda", did not enter the atmosphere in the same way as a meteorite.Therefore, I do not understand that the higher the meteorite burns out, the higher the heat of friction with the atmosphere.

"Is that so?" Thank you, O great Vandalu, for your wisdom. ”

Thank you. So, Lugornok, is it possible to drop a star so big that it won't burn down into the Lambda ?

... I can't...

Please explain specifically why this is not possible.

When Vandalu asked for it, Lugornok replied with an emotional expression of "troublesome smell" with only his lips and eyeballs.

First of all, meteorites that are large enough to reach the ground of [Lambda] without burning out rarely come close.The universe of the world of "Lambda" is overwhelmingly narrow compared to the universe of "Earth".But for Lugornork, it is infinite.Moreover, his maneuverability is quite low.

Astronomically, the meteorite in nearby orbit is far away from Lugornok.It is impossible to manipulate a very long orbit.

Next, it was due to Lugornok's own lack of strength.His power to survive with a little less than the minimum amount of food needed to keep himself alive is rather weak.

Even if you can use the gravitational force of the moon to bring up the orbit of a small meteorite that passes nearby, it is impossible to intervene in a large meteorite, bend the orbit, and drop it into the [lambda].

If it is possible to restore strength, it is still difficult.Originally, Lugornok was an evil god whose name the evil gods of other demon king armies could hardly remember.Moreover, I have not tried to increase my strength for 100,000 years.

Even if the power is fully restored, he thought that he could not do a great deal with the level of Lugornok.

I see.

After hearing Lugornok's explanation, Vandalu was convinced.If the magnitude required for a meteorite to break through the lambda atmosphere as a planet is the same as the Earth, it will certainly require enormous magic power.

Is it difficult even for Vandaloo?

Hmmm... let's try Vigilance to see if we can manipulate the orbit of an asteroid.

Vandaloo looked for an affordable meteorite in the [Demon King's Eyeball] and tried to [Alert] the asteroid closest to him.

Oh, I can't.

And when I did, I moved a part of the boundary mountain range to build the Ark Mountains, and it seemed to consume comparable magic power, so I stopped in a hurry.

Unattributed magic Mindful Motion is a magic that moves objects without touching them.The required magic power depends on how far away the target is from the magician and how much power the target needs to move.

Until now, Vandaloo had used this [Alert] and used [Demon Lord Fragment] to shoot bullets from the barrel, but compared to that, it was difficult to manipulate the meteorite's orbit.

After all, moving an asteroid with a few meters in diameter that travels a few hundred kilometers into space at high speeds is difficult.I didn't try to move the target a few dozen kilometers away on the ground with Mindful Motion , so I didn't know.

You can't even use Vandal's magic!?

So surprised that Legion and Gfadogharn were more shocked, Vandalu chose a few words to explain.

At least, I can't do it easily.I think we can do it if we take more time. "

I wanted to manipulate the orbit of an asteroid... I could save a third, no, even more of the magic power I needed by going straight down and using Mindful Dynamics .

Well then, what should we do if a giant meteorite is about to fall into the [Lambda]?

”Ah, how do you keep it from falling instead of dropping it?In that case... we'll do something about it if we blow it up as soon as possible. ”

Rather than manipulating the asteroid's orbit with [Motion], it was easy to talk about if you simply prevented a giant meteorite from falling into the [Lambda]. Destroy it.

It was difficult to shoot the [Gauntlet Extinguishing Cannon] from the ground and destroy it. Since the meteorite was an inorganic substance, [Gulping Blood] had no effect.However, there were many ways to launch a demon king with a shell.

There is also a way to place a demon king in space in advance and hit an asteroid before it enters the atmosphere.If I could go directly down to the asteroid, I could subdivide a portion of the asteroid into countless golems with Golem Creation .

I see! Even if it's like a movie, Vandalu can protect [Lambda]!

"Depending on the size of the falling meteorite and the situation when I noticed the situation, I think it can be protected except for me."Including the Legion of the Valkyries. "

The giant Legion hit the asteroid, and the main body was pulled out in small packs.We can blow the rest up.

Otherwise, if Gfadgarn could open a giant [Transfer Gate] used to transfer the Sub-God and fly it to a different space, or if Knochen could hit Boks and Schneider with a concentrated attack, he would be able to do something about it.

Awww?

Indeed, as Knochen said, it is only by knowing in advance that an asteroid is approaching the "lambda" that you can take it.

One day, a huge meteorite came down from the sky.Even though "Earth" and "Origin" are not easy, in this world without artificial satellites and celestial telescopes, it is difficult to detect the approach of asteroids in advance.

A meteorite appeared in the sky, and even if I tried to intercept it in a hurry, I might not be able to do so in time.

After all, information matters.And there was an evil god in a convenient place to get that information.

Eh?

Could you help me monitor the asteroid, Lugornok?

Yeah ~?

"The Evil God of Dreams and Death" Lugornok. Having existed in outer space for over 100,000 years, he is the most cosmic savvy in the world of "Lambda".

Surveillance... I don't think it's meant for me.

The problem is that Lugornok himself is right.He can risk his existence to be lazy, but he is not fit for a diligent watchman.

I'm not going to leave everything to you.I'll do the same for you.I just want you to help me.

If you help me, I'll build your idol on the ground and worship it. "

Lugornok, who was presented with it, wondered whether it was easier to accept or decline Vandalu's request.

Lugornok, the evil god, slept differently from the creature.I perceive the events of the outside world to some extent even when I am asleep.And from the back of the moon, the peripheral region of [Lambda] is within his perceptible range even when he's asleep.... while in space for hundreds of thousands of years, the perceptible range has widened.

Perhaps the nature of the gods had changed while we dropped the stars to get food from the Sherlock.

Normally, there is no doubt that you are not aware of the metamorphosis of the divine nature, which has great pain and is in danger of disappearing.However, the Lugornork is currently being wiped out in a form of progression.By analogy, I feel like I'm on the verge of starvation to be lazy in peace.

As a result, he probably could not perceive the pain.

(Ah, even though I'm lazy, I'm in a messy state, right?)

As soon as he realized this, Lugornok began to positively consider Vandalu's proposal.If he offers you a reward for being enshrined on earth, you'll be a little better off.

Everything around "Lambda" is troublesome, but it wouldn't be a lot of effort to keep an asteroid out of sight of the moon.

In exchange, it's not bad if you can get food from the ground.If you want to be lazy, it's Lugornok who can endure the hunger of extinction, but it's not like you're starving.

(Besides, Vandalu seems to be quite different from Guduranis.Below him, you can be lazy.)

All right, I'll take care of the surveillance.

In this way, the [Evil God of Dream Death] became the evil god who watched [Lambda] near the moon.

Compared to the "Earth" and "Origin", which are part of the vast universe, there is a planet "Lambda" in the center of the universe, and the number of asteroids watched by Lugornork is overwhelmingly small in the world surrounded by other celestial bodies.

However, since invaders from other worlds, such as the former Guduranis, do not necessarily appear in space, it is not pointless to guard them.

In addition, the development of an exploration satellite-type demon king was started to investigate the presence of remnants of the demon king army on Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter, which were far away from the moon and the sun.
