The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

"Beloved people, I declare the rest in the name of Emperor Amid. I hereby return the emperor of my empire to the great God of Law and Life, Alda, to rule you with his word."

There was no applause or cheer from the people, even as the proclamation of Salazar, loud with magic items, echoed through the capital.

"What do you mean, return the emperor to God?

"You mean the Pope will serve as emperor? Can you do that?

"The temple will rule the country!?

Instead, a whisper spread with confusion and anxiety, like a wave.

"My dear people, there is nothing to worry about. This is necessary to correct our mistakes, to conform to God's will… and for the future of this world."

And it was Pope Eileek Malmö who opened his mouth on behalf of Salazar, who became a former emperor. He's still a young boy in his mid-teens, but he had more charisma than Salazar.

unprecedented background of his appointment as Pope with the divine divine divinity. And his own pride in being chosen by Alda is felt by people as a charisma.

"As of this time today, the Amid Empire will change its name to the Holy Nation of Amid. But all of you, good people who are faithful to the teachings of the gods, wish you were as faithful to the teachings as you were until yesterday.

Maybe those who suffer the detriment will get out. But we, the Grand Temple of Alda, will lean in. Let us swear to God that we will be able to overcome the trials. "

But the anxiety of the people did not subside when they heard the words of Eileek with such charisma.

The average person in many countries of this world has no opportunity to get involved in politics. If our homeland is conquered in another country, or if the exchangers lay so much pressure on us, we go out to radical means such as riots and guerrilla warfare, but if not, "politics has nothing to do with the general public," it is normal that we are indifferent to anything other than direct connection to our work and nostalgia.

Countries where there is only the institutional side of the media that rewards information on those involved in politics and where there is no electoral system. The people don't remember any incompetence with it.

And the majority of the people of the Amid Empire do not have serious problems with their lives. Because the former emperor, Mashkuzar, had laid good government for more than a few decades, and the current emperor, Salazar, was a puppet, and because much of his predecessor's policy had been taken over as it was because he had not yet become emperor.

Growing discontent from the nobles, temples, and slave traders of the Amid Empire and various nations has been directed at Salazar because of the inability to stop the rampant 'storm of tyranny' and the fact that it is practically abandoned, but it is not yet enough to ask him to leave.

... the new species of Vida being persecuted are dissatisfied, but it has already become routine among them because it was before Mashkuzar's predecessors, at the time of the founding of the Amid Empire and even before. Besides, from now on, there is no new species of Vida who expect life to be better when they hear that the Great Temple of Alda will be in charge of politics.

In the first place, many of Vida's new races are overflowing with anti-bone and behavior like organizing anti-government campaigns after Schneider took them out of the country.

It is not a feeling of anticipation but anxiety that such a people will remember reflexively about the proclamation that "the system will change dramatically from today". There is no great dissatisfaction in the current situation, so it would be natural to remember the anxiety that "life may change to the worse" rather than to remember the hope that "life may improve" on change.

Besides, it is often difficult secularly to live a correct life strictly adhering to the doctrine preached by the Temple.

It is difficult to make any compromises, make no exceptions, eliminate all grey zones and strictly abide by the law.

Will it be restrained by the priests who have been forced to challenge it and, if they cannot, have judicial power? Such anxiety depends on the brains of the people.

But the Pope of the Great Temple, who is also known to be under the patronage of God, is the opponent, so it is possible to complain of anxiety in appearance. It would be natural to hesitate to think that being anxious about a more righteous reign, more in keeping with God's will, would be dissatisfied with being rightly ruled in keeping with God's will.

Eileek assures us that "we can live in the same way we did until yesterday," and that "no matter who suffers the disadvantage, the temple will lean in and support us". But no matter how many saints he has become Pope under the divine patronage of Alda, there is no way to dispel the anxiety that the empire has just undergone a great transformation from today into a holy kingdom.

"A more righteous way, more in keeping with God's will, is to reconcile with the new species of Vida… to put into practice the ideas of the Alda convergence that prevailed in the Orbaum-elected kingdom, which recognizes beasts, giants, species such as dark elves and mermaids as the same people as us.

We, the Grand Temple of Alda, hereby proclaim the new doctrine of the Alda Convergence as from this time of day, the law and exemplary defence of all the people of the Holy Nation of Amid. "

And in fact, the anxiety of the people was missed. Because it has become clear that the life spent in the sacred kingdom of Amid will be completely separate from the life in the Amid Empire that we have had until yesterday.

Few people know more about the idea of the Alda moderates, born in the Orbaum-elected kingdom, an enemy nation since its founding, regardless of just their name or brief outline.

But it is enough to say that we recognize Vida's existence of a new race and its rights as the same person.

The rights of the new race of Vida have been significantly restricted in the Amid Empire and its dependencies. As well as becoming a bureaucrat or a soldier, the law stipulates that you cannot set up a chamber of commerce in which you are the proprietor. You are free to become an adventurer or mercenary, but as a result, you will not gain nobility, nor will you be able to serve as a knight or an embracing magician.

You can live in towns and villages as craftsmen, farmers and workers, but suddenly being caught and trafficked as slaves is not respected by the law. More than half of the slaves traded in the Amid Empire are occupied by the new race of Vida.

Races of rank… not only vampires and demons, but also species such as Scylla, Harpy, Centaur, Ramia and Arakune. If they appear in people, they are hunted by guards and adventurers, and if they find a place to live, soldiers are dispatched to kill all demons.

And that includes Dampiel, a mixture of vampires and other races.

Such a country suddenly takes the idea of the Alda moderates for granted. You can't live the same way you did until yesterday.

In particular, the situation of the slave traders and their guests is serious. Instead of having to let go of goods and property free of charge, I remembered the fear of being imprisoned for what I had done by yesterday.

Even a pope cannot remain silent. At that time when the people tried to scream as they poked their fists up, an anomaly occurred.

"Hey, hey, the moon..."

The time starts at noon and is gradually becoming evening. Because it is summer, there is still time until the day is long and the sun sets, but it would not be so strange to see the moon grudgingly.

"The moon is getting bigger!

But in the sky, to which the first woman to notice it pointed, the moon, which should be hard to see even if she gazed, clearly appeared, and was gradually becoming larger.

Anxiety, confusion, and frustration distracted many of the people whose heads were bleeding. As when Alda eclipsed to prove the correctness of Eileek's trusteeship, he wondered whether this was also a miracle caused by the power of God, and also appeared those who prayed.

Even on the balcony, the knights of the escort are on guard.

"Is this some kind of illusion!? What is the sorcerer doing!? Where's" Fifteen Swords of Evil "?!

In contrast to the noisy Salazar, Heinz asked Eileek in a calm manner.

"Lord Eileek, what if that too?

"No, that's not Alda's divine authority. But I feel some sign of God. Probably..."

Before Eileek finished saying it, there was a crack without sound in the center of the huge full moon floating in the blue sky. And then I opened it.

What a giant eyeball appeared when the crack that occurred on the moon opened. That appearance seemed as if the moon had been switched to a monster with only eyes.

"Wow, oh!?

"Then it's a monster. Ahhh!

Many of the people scream at an unprecedented creepy sight and panic, and start running away. But Heinz was convinced when he saw the alien moon.

"This is Vandaloo or God's work deeply involved in it!

Heinz pulled out his liturgical sword and leaped straight on with his foot on the balcony railing.

"[Hero God descends]!

And 'Hero God' Bellwood dwelt in Heinz, and his desire to make him feel radiant and sacred filled his surroundings.

"Whoa!?

"Is that... God?

Its divine appearance also made people who were panicking forget their fears.

Flying toward the moon by using magic items, Heinz waved his sword upwards over the people.

"[Evil Holy Glow Flashes]!

The slaughter unleashed by the depths of Heinz amputated the moon's monocular eye from the front.

At that moment, the sound of the glass crushing and the alien moon disappeared. Later, the moon of its original size is just floating in the blue sky.

"I didn't respond... did I leave?

Heinz looked up at the moon for a while in such a daunting manner, but the people of the Amid Empire hailed him.

Not only the Alda faithful, but also the followers of Peria and Botin, Richland and Zulwarn, were not exceptions to that. Just like the people of the Orbaum voting kingdom who saw the appearance of Darusia, where Vida descended.

Around that time, on the Devil's Lands, Aladia screamed briefly and buttocks.

"What's the matter, Aladia? You stepped on lava? Or was it even bitten by demons? Are you hurt?

"The Moon Giant," Deanna rushes the spear with one hand wondering if anything had happened to her big, quiet daughter.

'It's okay, Mother. If you just wanted to know what your father's enemies were like,' look, 'because they seemed like they were,' look, 'they tore you apart.'

Aladia kept her buttocks on and mouthed an answer that she didn't get the guidelines as she blinked her forehead eyes many times.

'Right. Is that hurt anyway? Does it hurt your eyes or your head? Aren't you feeling sick?

But Deanna seems to have figured out more or less what happened with it. But first, I made it a priority to see if there was any change in her health.

"What's up? Looks like something happened to Aladia.

"Are you okay?"

Tiamato and Bachnawa, who noticed strangely, speak out worryingly. This is a far cry from the safe zone, as it is also far from the 'city' of the Devil's Continent and the sanctuary of Zantark.

But not so much a threat to the Deannas, the sub-gods. It's like coming to a picnic in a natural meadow, for example, to a human being. It's to the extent that a child might get stabbed by a bug or run around and fall and rub his knees off, but if his parents are watching, it's no problem. So it doesn't look so serious.

'I'm fine. I checked hard just in case, but no injuries'

'Yes, there is no pain. I was just dazzled and surprised. "

And nothing serious had actually happened to Aladia. After confirming that, Deanna explained to Tiamato and Bachnawa what had happened to Aladia… what she had done.

"I guess the power of the demon eye on my forehead has been expressed. I had guessed that my forehead eyes would be demonic eyes, but I didn't think I could use my powers so quickly '

"Is that about clairvoyance or a thousand eyes?

"Not as good as a thousand eyes. Perhaps you mediated the moon to see a distant landscape. Either the Amid Empire or the Duke of Fazon territory we heard about because we are the enemies of Vandaloo.

And he said he was torn by a magical user of light attributes or someone with a shining weapon '

Deanna was almost telling the truth. However, because Aladia is inexperienced, I couldn't explain the sights I saw well enough, so I didn't even tell her what happened where I saw them.

If Aladia could see her own status, she could have told her mother what it was and asked her to judge it. However, she was outside the scope of the status system because she was a sub-god.

Furthermore, since neither Deanna nor Tiamato have a demonic eye, all knowledge is hearsay.

"My mother's nose is high enough to use her powers less than a year after she was born, Aradia."

'Ha! I'll try harder to keep you from getting ripped off this time!

'You don't have to be in such a hurry. My mother would be happy with that if she would grow up big and healthy over the millennium, 2,000 years or whatever'

Deanna's senses, a true giant who lived for over 100,000 years, were very long.

"Deanna's a total idiot, too. I would have seen a concubine raise hundreds and thousands of children."

Bachnawa's brothers and sisters...... Deanna laughed lightly and said back that Tiamato had given birth to new species of Vida characteristic of the Devil's continent, such as dragons, true giants, beast kings as well as ghost dragon men and demon dragon men.

"I've known you for a long time, but I'm sure it's not the same thing that I raise my children as seeing someone else's it beside me.

For now, we need to tell the King of the Devils what Aradia saw... Tiamato, where is the King of the Devils?

"I'm sorry, the nearby demon king has eaten all the children. I left the Demon King behind as a toy substitute... boy?

When Tiamato turned his gaze to his son, Bachnawa was pinching the flea-like demon king stuck to his hyena at the tip of his nail.

"Yes, emergency food dad"

"I was sneaking around thinking I'd have trouble when all the use demon kings were eaten, but was it broken?"

It was Vandaloo who was meant to be hiding for the above reasons, but it just seemed to have been secured as an emergency meal in Bachnawa.

"Vandaloo, have you heard the story?

'No, I made this for emergency contact, so I didn't hear it because I usually let them sleep and save magic to extend their uptime. It would be helpful if you explained it again'

This is how Vandaloo knew what had happened.

Later on, a meeting was taking place in the palace of the Holy Nation of Amid.

The transition from the Amid Empire to the Holy Nation began after the defeat of Gudulanis the Demon King in the Orbaum-elected kingdom, so it was a rush from what to what. For this reason, the problem continues even now, having announced to the people and changed the name of the country.

However, the reality is equal to just putting a sign on it because of the religious state of the hurry. Confusion would still be dampened by giving imperial civilians and martial arts officers positions as priests and keeping them in business.

Except for changing the country's overall policy to the Alda moderates.

"As far as the new species of Vida is concerned, the emancipation from slavery is well under way. I was wondering if God's glory was still great that he was paying the same cooperation money as the market"

"At the same time, there are people out there who try to deceive the cooperative money by grabbing the new species of Vida and falsely deceiving the slaves they have owned for a long time. There are many different cases, such as when some of Vida's new races are working with people, but we are able to deal with them at the moment."

"More or less bad nobles and major slave traders have already been crushed by The Storm of Atrocities."

Listening to the reports of the Civilians who had been given the priesthood, Salazar, who had been given the cardinal position, was immersed in dark joy.

I thought I'd been made an emperor of decorations, and now I'm the Cardinal of the former emperor of decorations. In the future, the position has not improved at all because people will be executed alone for their dissatisfaction when problems arise with the Holy Nation of Amid.

Yet, unlike when I proclaimed the end of the empire, I guess I'm in a clear mood because I'm surrounded by my kind.

Salazar has not thought from the outset that this forceful and sudden transformation into a religious state will be successful. I'm sure this country will collapse after or before it collapses and I'm executed. Just like the great nations that flourished in the past, they disappear into past history.

Most likely, by the glory of God, it will hold for a while.

"Sounds like things are generally going well. After all, the word of God was right that with your power, the majesty and mentor of Belwood, you could lead the flock of lambs."

And Eileek Malmö, who led the transformation of the Amid Empire into a religious state, was smiling satisfactorily.

Eileek received a long and complex entrustment of content from "God of Law and Life" Alda. If it weren't for him... or Nuaza, the chief officer of the Vida Temple of the Vidal Demon Empire, I wouldn't have been able to fully receive it.

Along those lines, Eileek moved to turn the Amid Empire into a religious state. Everything remains Alda's will… to defeat Vandaloo, and the Vidal Demon Empire.

Initially, Alda planned to unite the power of the Amid Empire and the Orbaum-elected kingdom to fight Vandaloo.

But seeing how the Orbaum race kingdom has been since Vandaloo defeated Demon King Gudulanis, Alda decided to give up the Orbaum race kingdom.

Alda also realized that Vandaloo and his mentors were different from the mentors of the past. The Orbaum kingdom is too late for anything but the Duke of Fazon. And he said it's impossible to roll back from here.

So even the Amid Empire alone needed to be put together robustly. And they're trying to connect us with the Duke of Fazon.

But Alda also knows that no one moves according to his own will. For the past 100,000 years, we have not been able to extinct the new species of Vida, and at last we have been able to acknowledge the survival of the new species of Vida.

So Alda decided to take the same measures as Vandaloo... and Vida.

"I just moved as an Alda melodist. Besides, this development was not my intention."

Heinz, who then headed with his companions to the Amid Empire at Nine Road's behest, cooperated with Eileek as an Alda melodist.

Heinz was asked to use his power as a mentor in his speech and the use of [Heroic Divine Descent]. By doing so, Eileek intended to force those who could not hear God's voice.

"Hopefully, instead of using [the coming of the hero god] to make people obey, I wanted them to discuss, understand and wholeheartedly endorse. If that anomaly doesn't happen..."

"I never get sick. Besides, it is great that you have the support of the people. Now you are a hero of the Holy Land of Amid."

"... don't take anything down. A hero is a thank you to Vandaloo"

Salazar says so sarcastically shortly after Eileek's words, and he has a sharp gaze from the other cardinals present at the meeting.

But Heinz, the person he was accused of, thought he was the best. And asked Eileek, not him.

"Do you have any idea what it's like to be a hero to me as an S-class adventurer in the Orbaum-elected kingdom, even though I'm from my own country, and as an Alda moderate?

In response to that question, Eileek answered with a strange face.

"Because that is God's will. I, God's agent on earth, have nothing to doubt."

There was a clear, or nothingness, smile there by purity.

Eileek should now have more power than the Emperor... but for him, neither a country called the Holy Nation of Amid, nor its people, may be of great value.
