The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Three hundred and seventy-eight stories, picturesque dukes and graduation from fundamentalism.
Over three hundred and sixty bones, tendons, cartilage, nerves, blood vessels, muscles, fat, brain, eyes, nose, ears, lips, heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, pancreas, small intestine, colon, ovaries, uterus….
It is not easy to use the power of [metamorphosis] to make all the necessary parts at once with them assembled.
It's physically incapacitated, it needs a lot of nutrition on an ongoing basis, and it makes my stomach buzz because I have to keep eating.
Only about two-thirds of it has progressed thanks to it.
"This was my first attempt, so if this works, I thought I'd keep going... sorry for a while now"
Yes, from behind Mari, who reveals her true intentions, two unhealthy blue-white skinned arms stretch out and hug her.
"Thank you so much... I'll never forget this grace"
Yes, whispering in Mari's ear was a woman who looked somewhat older than her, who became the appearance of a mid-teenage girl. A woman with blue and white skin who left her loosely wavy hair stretched. One eye, nose, lips, etc. visible from between the hair is well made and can be described as beautiful.
But the blurry tone, the dark, slightly damp atmosphere that is wrapped around her, and most importantly, her eyes determine her impression. It's as dark as boiling something, but it's lit without hiding a stark and suspicious light.
For this reason, those who see a woman have a danger that is harder to approach than beauty, colour incense, pity, etc. … It will also have the impression of a poisonous flower rather than a blade of escape.
And whoever sees them from behind will be sure that their sensibilities were right if they knew nothing. Because the woman holding Mari from behind had no lower body. From the woman's waist, she grew directly from Mari's back!
"Yeah, well, that's what I'm doing because you promised me a mouthful of other gods that I'd get protection, too. I already got the protection paid in advance.
Never mind, Bascias. "
But the identity of the woman was not a horrible monstrosity, but a 'goddess of rain clouds' Bashas. From the waist the top grows from Mari's back because he was on his way to creating flesh by Mari's [metamorphosis].
Bashas is a clean goddess. She is a good god born of the sublimation of her soul after the death of a woman who achieved merit by anticipating the weather. In modern times it is believed mainly only in part of the Duke of Alclem, or it is ominous because it is a god that can reward vicious signs such as water damage caused by heavy rain, but it is assumed to be a merciful goddess.
"Or should I call you a goddess?
"No, you can call it off. Not me and you."
"What? No, even if they say we're friends...?
"You told me you were sisters who split blood and meat, I remember. When I was a human, I didn't have many friends, so I admired friends of heart and true friends."
However, there is no contradiction between the fact that she is supposedly a merciful goddess and the fact that she is the owner of a terrible personality, reputed in modern Japan for so-called landmines and heavy weights.
"No, I'm confused when people suddenly say things like that to me like Arthur?
Arthur, a strong but purely good young man chosen by Bashas as a hero candidate, reminded Mari that his sister and childhood were also holders of a personality that immediately ranked up favors for people.
I wondered if it was because Arthur felt there was a part of him that resembled him, even in the Duke of Alclem's territory, but that was Mari's mistake.
"Right, I'm sorry, I'm glad I did. Don't panic, we have to start by being friends and getting to know each other better!
... but you trust me so much, and I trust and love you enough to protect you, too. I think this is more than just a friend. "
Among the few believers, he was blessed with talent, a pure good youth, and it was Bascias who anticipated Arthur, who was even more similar to himself, to give him protection.
If you think about it, there's no way you can feel the character of God in Arthur, who was just a strong hunter, before you gained protection.
Some would wonder if the goddess could be of such a character if they saw and heard what this Bashas said and did.
Mari thought so for a moment. But she remembered her mom and the guardian of the young girl she admired and the boy she served with God and immediately reconsidered her thoughts.
(Besides, if you look like Arthur, you don't look like you're in real harm's way. It's a goddess, and what you're saying... well, it's a goddess)
Mari doesn't know Arthur that well. The first time I had a conversation-like conversation was also recently when I heard him ask me to "make a charge for Bashas's dependency". But I was asking people about his personality, and even a short encounter was easy to understand because he was a person without a back table.
Besides, Mari herself asked about Bashas because she is the person who makes her body in [metamorphosis].
According to Darcia, "I'm lonely for Vida, but she looks like a good daughter," and according to Talos, "I think that's a pretty good woman! 'It was an assessment. He said he had hardly ever met Ruvezfol, so it was not helpful... generally, it was just a positive assessment that did not include warnings such as be careful or stay away from him.
Probably also because Mari already has her protection if you think about it, which will rank her up soon.
Yes, the door knocked unexpectedly when I was thinking about it in a state where I couldn't escape because I was connected to her on my back.
"Mari, I brought you a replacement. Bascias, how are you?
Through the door, Vandaloo appeared by pressing the wagon with the dish on it.
"Thank you, I'll take it!
"Yes, my dear Mari, the cost of the dependency she made is fantastic."
I would have planned to complete the flesh of Bashas by myself and surprise Vandaloo... but it was harder than I had assumed to make the flesh for each person, so I asked him to open it up and work with me.
However, Vandaloo, who saw the sight of Bashas's upper body growing from Mari's back, could be said to have succeeded in the surprise because he was surprised.
"But I was surprised. I didn't think Mari was close to Bascias."
Though it was a surprise in a different direction than I had intended.
"Well, I've got a lot to think about. This world seems to have no problem believing in more than one god."
"Lambda" is a world where multiple gods work together to maintain the world. For this reason, it is treated as normal for a person other than a priest who works in a temple to pray to more than one God.
However, in the case of Mali, the order is the opposite of normal, and since I received a request to create a body that would be dependent on me, I began to believe that I could receive protection.
"... neither Bashas himself, nor Vida or Talos said anything, but is this what faith is all about?
As for Mari, who knows the common sense of 'Earth' and 'Origin', she was slightly curious as to whether her 'faith' was impure. Regardless of other gods, it is before Vandaloo, the subject of the faith of his destiny.
"I don't think it's a problem. If you work in a temple and live on the path of faith, Mari is different."
Vandaloo replied to Mari like that, feeling like a friend and guardian.
The faith of this world, where God exists and gives protection to the faithful and sends His Messengers, includes the purpose of benefiting in this world.
Of course, there are paths where people work as hard as possible through rigorous training and physical and mental training to support people's minds and minds, and few choose to move on to it. But even if you didn't, you don't have to be ashamed.
"Besides, even I believe in God for the impure reason that it's part of my quest for self-happiness. That's what I'm allowed to do, so it's okay."
"It's okay because Vandaloo is right. Never mind, my dear Mari."
"Thank you, but it's a little bit to be told in public that my dear Mari. It's a little bit of a hug..."
"With that said, you still have your clothes. I'll knit for now."
Lately, Vandaloo realizes that Bashas hasn't worn anything yet, he starts knitting her clothes by throwing yarn out of his mouth.
"By the way, wasn't it time we had something important to talk about in Orbaum? So I thought it would be the Split or the Demon King who would come to us."
"Fushiyuru. This is more important to me, so I prioritized this one. Fushiyurururu"
Vandaloo throws up thread from his mouth and answers questions as he knits his clothes. Silkworms are also surprising dexterity.
"Oh, I'm so glad. But the champions attend the meeting, and the lead role is Vandaloo, so I'm sorry that he's not the demon king."
"I know. I also carried the food to make sure the two of them were in good shape, so as soon as I knit some clothes for Bascias, I'll be there....... I'll make sure, just in case, this isn't like a proposal, it's just a gift. That's good, right?
As for Vandaloo, that's what I was going to say and put up a line of prevention not to be the same development as Deanna.
I'm happy to have kids, but they shouldn't be increased unplanned. I still have the bones of the beast god Gampaprio.
"P, I can't believe it's a proposal...... hehe, hehe, hehe"
But when Bashas dyed his cheeks red, he buried his face in Mari's hair and began to laugh.
"Bashas, your legs, you can leave now that you've done it. And Van, I think it's a snake."
"I felt that way, too. Fushiyurururu"
Orbaum, the capital of the Orbaum-elected kingdom, was hit by an unsolved crisis in June of this year, causing so much damage that it was not known how many years it would take for the people to regain their normal lives, such as damage to most buildings, although human damage was suppressed.
I would have abandoned Orbaum and transitioned to the capital.
In less than three months, most of the buildings have been restored and rebuilt, not only castles and walls, buildings of each guild and large chamber of commerce, but also homes inhabited by the general public.
And Slam Street, which was a social issue until June, was regenerated as a commercial compartment containing tenants of various shops, the Zuckert Street.
Orbaum was not revived back to normal. It flourishes much more than before and is full of vitality as a city.
"Grandma, you're perfectly well!
"Oh, now I can hold you and fly in the sky. I'm not gonna let you treat me like an old man anymore."
"Oh, Mother, don't be impotent!
"Ooh, my shoulder is so bumped...... I'm sorry I had to! I'll be careful later!
'I'm sorry about this one. Horn, didn't it hurt? I'm wearing a cover.'
"Don't worry! So I told you, brother! That M.O. won't work anymore!
At that price, the inhabitants were mixed with demons and undead. They are the ones who lost their lives unluckily in the incident, and who were pseudo-reincarnated into Demons by Vandaloo.
A winged demon with his daughter and grandson on his left and right shoulders, respectively, was an old woman with a bent back until before the incident. Demons growing horns from their heads, shoulders, elbows, and knees, who repelled the hitter's chimps unaware, were also mindless youth until before the incident.
Other Kunochen splinters, who look like a bunch of skeletons, cross the street with a 'ooh,' and the caravan of Centaur, who seems to have just come from the autonomous community, where Ghoul, officially recognized as the new race of Vida, purchased snacks in the street and was free to come and go outside, is amazed at how Orbaum is doing.
If this is the price to pay for rebuilding from the case, you should take it spoiledly.
"With that said, Mother, there have been rumors that the border mountains have moved and closed the border between the Duke of Sauron and the Milg Shield Nation, is it true?
'What are you talking about? It's as easy for her as moving a mountain range. "
And the demons interpreted it as natural that Vandaloo moved the mountains.
But it was not natural for the Corbit-elect kings who gathered for the meeting at Knochen Castle.
"The mountains moved. When I heard that, I finally thought something had gone wrong with the deacon's head... but I didn't think it was true"
"I wanted you to at least root ahead of time"
"No, even if they did, I think that's troubling."
"Ha-ha-ha. As for Noh, it looks like his retirement day is coming up. Congratulations."
The Corbit Kings are troubled, foolish, and even laughing out like Secretary Dormad for what the Boundary Mountains have moved.
"It wouldn't make sense to say rooting ahead of time, even if it were assumed?
"What will they say, Lord Meorillis!?
And the meeting was attended for some reason by Meorilis, who was not even an honorary nobleman. She's just an ordinary person now that she quit her hero prep school principal, but just because she quit her job doesn't mean she loses her former A-level adventurer's strength and connections.
The aristocrats gathered could not treat her without her.
"Right, that was too much to say that it didn't make sense. That's a lot of political significance.
Pre-rooting poses that the Vidal Demon Empire cares about you. And you have a proven track record of making the Vidal Demon Empire care. "
Yes, when Meorillis said it, the nobleman, who said it back to Meorillis, moaned with regret and pressed silence.
"I see. Though it doesn't stay as a document, when the accumulation of such customs between reps and diplomats becomes credible. You'll learn."
And Vandaloo is repeatedly nodding at her words.
"Pre-rooting is still important, Doctor"
"I'm not a teacher anymore. Now I'm just a hired adventurer. Until I return what I owe you."
Meorilis is here to pay off his debts to the Vandaloos. By borrowing it, he graduated from the hero preparatory school, which was supposed to last at least one year. Even Pauvina and Reinhardt.
In order to repay the debt, Meorilis resigned from the position of principal of the heroic preparatory school and returned to the adventurer, offering to cooperate.
Of course, the Vandaloos didn't ask for it. It is her own will.
"You don't have to be so concerned. Pauvina and the others are convinced that this was a reasonable time given the current situation."
"No, as someone who was at the edge of an educator. That doesn't add up to kedges. And you need me."
Meorilis like that is a former A-class adventurer, but it is useful for Vandaloo if you try it as a force of war, but not so much as necessary. Because if you have the equivalent of an A-level adventurer, you have as much as she does.
"Vandaloo, I think you're aware of yourself... but you're oblivious to politics. I forgot to root before moving the mountain range is proof of that."
But there was an overwhelming lack of political power.
In particular, there is a lack of a common sense, non-fanatic political blane that can sometimes speak out against Vandaloo.
There is Cesare, but being undead, he often follows Vandaloo's intentions, and even more so, he was a military officer and not a civilian of the Milg Shield Nation during his life. My brother Kurt is also a former martial artist, so he really doesn't get a step to the expert.
He has also taken advice from the Dukes of Hadros Jahan and Tuckard Alclem, but they are friends and at the same time dukes of the Orbaum-elected kingdom. I am not in a good position to be consulted casually on national politics.
Meorilis, who is not a civilian to Vandaloo like that but has long had connections with the nobility of Orbaum as principal of the heroic preparatory school, and who has wrapped up various negotiations and solved problems, is a necessary being.
"Thank you for your guidance, Doctor."
"No, so stop calling me a teacher"
See how it goes, you relieved noblemen. Originally, those who lack the knowledge of politics are good ducks for them… they can trick and use them, advise and lend, and do things.
But if that's the ruler of a powerful country that overwhelmingly surpasses its own military power, then the story is different.
Unexpected troubles can occur in order to know too little about the habits. And when trouble is deadly...... but it develops into war, it's over.
Vandaloo will be generous, but Darcia will be Vida's incarnation, but we can't help but worry about it.
In addition, the nobles expect Meorilis to play another role on this occasion.
"You're a solid good woman. I left such a good woman alone. Oh, you must be really dead, seniors."
"Unlike a feminine fucking kid with a 10,000 year tantrum like you, me and her are adults"
The two men were staring at each other as anger bumped into each other and reminded their surroundings of the illusion that Guisi and space were distorted.
"Who's a fucking kid, seventy years from now. Have you forgotten that the way you take a racial year is different from an elf? Besides, I don't remember drooling a woman! I know you're surrounded!
"Come on, let's face it, is there an old man of your race? Or was it just the lower body that was young and dyed and cut off the color mess in your head? And don't talk to other people about sex, keep it vegetable."
It's like a chimp's mess, but it's Schneider, a S-class adventurer from the Amid Empire, who's doing it. And since it was the S-class adventurer of the Orbaum race kingdom, 'true' Randolph, none of the nobles could stop it.
Randolph is still good. Everyone knows the great aristocrats have connections and are not the kind of people who get eclampsia and get violent.
But Schneider isn't. The nobles of the Orbaum-elected kingdom have never met him before, and rumors have made him furious and slaughtered his nobility in the middle of the day boulevard, and since then the annoyed will be nobles, but whatever, but they are known for their ignorance of grabbing up chest barns and throwing them into the sky. And the rumor is not based on no roots or leaves, but strict facts.
The nobles of the Orbaum-elected kingdom were not yet prepared to stop such dangerous figures. I quietly took as much distance as I could from the two of them and waited for the storm to pass but it wouldn't end inside.
I guess there are not shallow causes between S-class adventurers who originally represent the enemy countries.
In fact, they clash indirectly along the borders that existed until a few days ago between the Milg Shield State and the territory of the Duke of Sauron, as well as at requests received from each other inside and outside it.
They capture asylum seekers who were supposed to escort them to the safe zone, or rescue war prisoners who were supposed to escort them before the start of the request.
We've never confronted each other directly, so we said to each other, "I'm hit!" I guess the remorse was smoking. But that's why Schneider is now out of the amid side of both fame and cannot be directly confronted.
So do something about it, the person who got Schneider to attend this meeting...... ask Vandaloo to gaze, but he didn't notice the eye-opener.
"I know we're both close, but we're about to start a meeting, so let's be a little quiet"
And Vandaloo didn't see Randolph and Schneider's argument seriously. Because I can't feel any killing from the two staring at each other.
For that reason, Vandaloo was slight in interpreting the two's flirting as mere bickering.
"Randolph, if you're going to treat him like a child, don't look very unpopular. I'm at work, don't put me through this."
"Schneider, if you call yourself an old man, put on something called calm."
So it is the turn of Meorilis and Lisana. When Meorilis stopped Randolph, and Lisana stopped Schneider, respectively, the two interrupted the argument by turning away from their faces.
"Now that we seem to have gathered those who wish to attend, could you start a joint meeting between the Vidal Demon Empire and the Orbaum Racing Kingdom?
'Let's do that. Now we're going to run the meeting.'
In the meantime, Corbitt elect king and Cesare begin a meeting before any further trouble arises, as those who could not come into the conference room because of the anger of Schneider and Randolph took their seats.
That said, in fact, this is not an ordinary meeting. Because the purpose of the meeting is questions and suggestions for the Vidal Demon Empire, including the Vandaloos.
... I suppose we should have discussed measures against the Holy Nation of Alda and the Duke of Fazon, but it was the nobility's perception that was the lord of the Orbaum-elected kingdom that we should have deeper relations with the Vidal Demon Empire than the enemy states blocked in the mountains and the hostile but so far confined Duke territories of our own country that remain claustrophobic.
"There are a few things to announce from me first. The new mountain range has been named the Ark Mountains. We plan to work with the Duke of Elizabeth Sauron to develop the city and establish the temple along the mountains"
The enviable gaze of the other dukes and their masters who heard Vandaloo's announcement concentrates on Elizabeth sitting in a tense manner.
Until now, the Duke of Sauron's territory has been the only land bordering the enemy nation… a shield directed against the enemy nation. But from now on, it will be the gateway between the superpower, the Vidal Demon Empire, and the Orbaum-elected kingdom… a relay point for trade.
The profit is immeasurable.
"Next, the establishment of an embassy in my country and yours, but I will admit it if certain conditions are met"
"Are you Makoto!?
"Whoa! What the hell is a condition!?
Floating dukes and their progeny. The establishment of an embassy means that a public base for gathering information can be established at the same time as building trust.
The information obtained there is essential to figure out how to deal with the sudden appearance of the Vidal Demon Empire.
But those who stood up took two steps when they heard what Vandaloo had told them about the terms.
"If the Holy Nation of Amid and the Duke of Fazon are at war with our country, they will join us as allies of our country."
It was the Duke of Fazon…… a confirmation of intent to fight in the war with the elite and skilled adventurers who had been active in the Duke's territory until just a few months ago.
Kunochen's split hands out the documents. Sign there in the Duke's name and press the judgment that the Duke's family crest was carved into it and it will be an official document.
I'm not bound by sorcery or curse, but rebelling this vow is a decisive betrayal... not a good thing to do with a Vidal Demon Empire opponent.
"Here's the response on this occasion -"
Naturally, the nominees try to reply, "I will take this matter back and consider it". But to block it, four dull sounds sounded.
"Is this all right?
I signed it. Check it out.
"Uh, Mr. Knochen there, take it with you"
"Oh, boy."
Hadros, Elizabeth, the Duke of Birgit, and Tucker didn't hesitate to sign and push the verdict.
The moment I saw it, I intuited that the other dukes and masters had been hit.
Typically, the content to be discussed in talks held face-to-face between the top is to some extent determined before they begin. Because civilians and diplomats discuss and consider each other repeatedly in advance.
So if it's like this one, it's usually rooted out beforehand.
For this reason, this is not normal. Vandaloo... The Vidal Demon Empire forced each Duke Territory to step on it. Don't let Alda side fall back on you at the earthen pit.
(It is woven that all dukes cannot reply on this occasion. Let me take it back once from the start and I was going to press for a response... but I didn't expect to get back to the Duke of Birgit on this occasion. What did you expect?
That's what Tucker, the originator, thought.
"Ma, wait, now, push the verdict!
"You don't have to panic. The reply doesn't have to be on this occasion or after the meeting. Of course, before we go to war, we'll have trouble getting them out."
"Good job! Take it now!
"The Duke Corbit family also promises. This is the proof!
The Duke of Lucas Hartner and the Chosen King of Corbit are rushing to press for judgment on the paperwork. It was the House of the Six Dukes who submitted the documents together. The other Dukes will be filing paperwork soon.
Now the tread painting has been stepped on.
"Now, for the last time from me… I will change the name of the sect from Vida fundamentalism to Vida faith"
"Does that mean you'll be a regular Vida believer?
"No, just change the name. The doctrinal claims are not going to change in any way"
Vandaloo listed Vida fundamentalism, but that's not because Vandaloo is fundamentalist. Simply because when you call yourself a moderate or coexistent or something, you will resemble the Alda moderates listed by Heinz.
It's a similar name, so I don't think it's a faith of a similar spirit.
But already Heinz is after his return to the Holy Land of Amid. Apart from the Duke of Fazon, the Alda moderates are rapidly losing their presence.
Besides, we've already shown our strength. Then we won't have to shy away from claiming that we are the legitimate Vida followers.
It was an arrogant word for the Vida followers of human society that the Vida faith inside the Vandaloos Boundary Mountains is what is legitimate. But...
"Our claim is as explained on stage, thank you."
Darcia is right behind Vandaloo, who smiles and says' Vida's Incarnation '. There will be no Vida believers who can say "we are more right" about the sect where she is able to bring Vida down to her body.
Thus the Vida fundamentalism, which was only the name, was dissolved.
● Demon Description: By Luciliano, Skeleton Knight of the Underworld God
A race of boners that led to Rank 15. Its appearance is not so different from that of a normal skeleton, but its bone stiffness and flexibility outweigh that of an orihalcon.
If you take the god of the underworld as your master, it seems that bone men are now what you can call your master's English spirits.
Attack magic for light attributes against undead is less effective than before, as evidenced by the fact that it protrudes from the normal frame of undead.
Therefore, if you want to categorize it accurately, you may want to consider that there is flesh and blood as an undead subdeity, or subdeity subundead.
Nevertheless, it would be premature to decide on a classification name because I am still one boner. It is not too late to wait for it, because similar beings as bone men will appear in the future.
