The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 3-Withdrawing in the latter half of life

While enduring his unconsciousness, Vandalou seized the bone fragment where the spirit of his mother Dulcia dwells, and returned to a house in the forest with the living bones and living dead.

Fortunately he died on hungry, but fortunately, a raccoon was trapped in a trap set by Darussia, so he sucked the blood and drank it down, and fell asleep like a faint.

And when I woke up, it was already daytime.

"Good morning, mother. all"

Waking up, Vandalu looked around at a quiet but crowded house and said: ...... Actually, it just made an indistinct sound like "Auou".

"So, the hunters came?

A bone monkey standing beside the bed shakes his head. Apparently, fortunately it doesn't seem to come yet.

"First of all, the information I got yesterday is-"

-From today, the knight of Vestello, the Baron Vestello, who rules Evvezia, and the High Priest Gordan, who worships the god of law, Alda, and his temple knights, have begun searching the forest to hunt Vandalu.

However, the huntsman Olby did not tell him where to find this house, so he will look for the wrong place for a while.

But the huntsman Olby and his colleagues are still here to catch the rare baby dampir.

"On the other hand, my strength is ... I wonder if only three huntsmen can win"

Yesterday, hundreds of undead I created. However, most of them are small animals such as rats and insects, and about thirty are likely to fight, including bone monkeys. But basically weak.

The bone monkey probably had the strength of a human arm like an orangutan so that it could be easily removed, but not so much now. On the contrary, I tested it less powerful than Vandaloo. In this case, it may be more surprising that Vandaloo is stronger than a bone monkey.

They are less agile than ordinary humans. Endurance will be strong against bows and knives because of bones and carcasses, but it will only fall apart if hit several times with a hoe.

To stop, when I looked at the status screen for some reason, I didn't have any passive skills or active skills.

All the undead who are in the hands of Vandalu now rank 1. In Lambda, it's a monster that can be defeated by one-on-one, even untrained villagers.

But there are thirty. Then, if one device is devised, it should be managed.

"Insects are searchable for the time being. The five bone monkeys are my escorts in the house. Others are

Vandaloo first decided to return the Orby hunters. I wanted to hear a lot from Darussia, including my father, but if the hunters came in the gap, it would be troublesome, so I caught them first and listened.

Olby was traveling through the forest with two fellow hunters who drank together yesterday. No matter how elaborate the temple knights are, you will not be able to find a dark elven retreat in this vast forest immediately.

Absolutely they can catch the baby first. They were so convinced.

"Hey, let me say-"

"I know. I don't want to be in the belly of a bear or wolf before I get rich."

I'm sure they are professional hunters. This forest was not a monster where monsters were rampant, but there are dangerous beasts such as bears and wolves, and there are a few weak demons such as goblins.

They were on the lookout for them.

"It's strange. Isn't this the footprint of a great monkey? What's here ... a bear?"

Fortunately, they noticed the footsteps of the undead that Vanderlus made yesterday as he made his round trip to the town of Evvezia.

"Is that so? Are they too light for the footprints of a great monkey or a bear?"

But the footprints seemed too light to Olby's eyes. Footprints on the ground are carved deeper the heavier their weight. But at first glance, the footprints seemed very light.

"And it's a strange shape. It feels a bit small, and this has few fingers for a bear."

This is because the main part of the footprint is a living bone consisting of only bones, so the weight is less than half of the age of birth, there is no meat ball etc., and some finger bones are missing.

If this is an adventurer who mainly deals with bizarre monsters, I would have been wary-.

"Some beasts' footprints overlap, and they just look like that."

The Olbys did not think deeply because the monster was a hunter who only occasionally hunted for extra money. With the help of the perception that there are few demons in this forest, they have removed their footprints from their consciousness as a "blame."

"It's almost time. I dug a cave on a small cliff and made it a hideout."

"Okay, I'll catch you before the baby dies."

And the Olbys arrived at Darussia's house.

Trees are sparse in front of the house and there is some space. There was a trace of a bonfire used for cooking and a trace of life.

"Hmm? There are a lot of things scattered around."

"Hey, I guess the knights weren't ahead of me."

When the Olby looked around, there were a number of digging marks on the ground in front of the retreat, on which ivy and animal bones were scattered.

"Shit, go inside."

I approached the door trying to tongue out to see if the baby was still there.

"Wow!"

At that time, the ground swelled with a grunting grunt!

"What, what !? Golem !?"

"Oh, it's an earth golem!"

An earth golem standing up on the ground, standing still while falling to the ground, has risen.

"Huh !? There's an undead under the golem!"

Moreover, a wolf or bear living bone was hiding underneath.

"Let's run away!"

"Where are you! I'm surrounded!"

Moreover, the Olbys approaching the door were in the siege of golems and living bones.

Their weapons are bows and arrows, and daggers. It is a weapon that is at least incompatible with golems and undead.

"Wow !?"

"Hey, snake! No, ivy, ivy is moving!"

And the ivy, which should have been scattered on the ground, moves like a snake and wraps around the Olby.

"Chi, damn it!"

If you try to cut the ivy by pulling out a dagger, the golems and undead will come down and be held down, and the pot will fly in the air and hit your head.

It's not something you can escape. The Olby were thus taken alive.

"Successfully"

Vandaloo breathed a sigh of breath as he saw the Orbys rolling on the ground silently, wrapped in undead vines.

He made an earth golem by possessing a spirit on the ground in front of the house, and put living bones under it. No undead, no golems, no breathing, and the only smell of earth that is everywhere in this forest is that even a huntsman won't notice it if you sit still.

The same applies to ivy and pots. I thought I wouldn't be wary of the garbage on the ground if it might be undead, but he did.

"Now, I'd like to tell you a story-"

The Olby were astonished at the eyes of Vandaloo, carried by a bone monkey, looking down on themselves. You probably didn't expect the babies you were trying to catch to use the undead.

Is this the difference between Gordan's priest who scolded his men?

"But I have to start a conversation first."

In Vandaloo, who can still only say "Oh ou" unclearly, conversations with the Olbys are not established.

So, Vandalu made a sand golem with gravel and sand.

"Momogo!"

Orvies rush into the rising human-sized sand and gravel golems. Surely, he thought he would be killed.

However, the Sand Golem did not lift up his heavy fist, but instead ragged in front of them, made the character out of gravel grains.

[Do not make noise, be quiet. Answer the questions]

"Okay, done!"

As I did last night, if I could make a part of the outer wall of Evvezia into a golem and change the shape to make a loophole, I thought that it would be possible to change the shape of the sand golem and make sand letters, but I tried it successfully was.

Well, you have to keep supplying a lot of magic power to the golem, and your mental power will be reduced accordingly.

However, the biggest problem was whether the sand letters-Japanese could communicate to Olby and others.

To confirm it, let the ivy leave the mouth of the quiet Olbys.

"... What, I want to ask, ask me anything. Instead, only life."

"Oh, oh, speak whatever you know."

"This place is silent, so don't miss it."

Then he began begging for life. Apparently, in this lambda, not only conversation but also reading and writing can be understood in Japanese.

"It's convenient, but why? Speaking of which, in the knowledge of Rhodocorte, there was once a hero who was invited from another world to the lambda world. Is it because of that?

Well, I'll look into that later when I can afford it.

Vandalu asked a question in writing and asked for information from the Olbys. However, even the Olbys can read hiragana and katakana, but they can hardly read kanji (the first begging seems to have read this atmosphere), so the number of characters that the sand golem can make is increased, It was decided that my mental power would be sharpened.

But that didn't give useful answers to every question.

[What is a job? ]

"Huh? What's good to say our job? Of course you're a huntsman."

[What is experience value? ]

"Huh ...? Experience is an experience?"

[What is the god of law Arda? ]

"Oh, oh, God!"

What are jobs and what is experience in this lambda world? While listening to the basics, Olby's answers were useless.

From the point of view of Olby, Vandaloo's question is probably too basic. It's the same as asking the earth "What is air?" And "What is water?" Even so, if the other person has a culture and vocabulary, you can expect a helpful answer, but you can not expect it from Olby.

"I'll ask my mother later about this question."

Dalcia will be able to easily tell you any questions of Vandalu. After all, she's a mother raising children.

[Talk about Baron Vastero and his knights]

Then, asking him what he might know, Vandaloo, who switched his head, asked about other enemies.

"The lord is someone who has been a substitute for a decade or so, and has a strong desire to succeed. He is a normal nobleman who has no other characteristics. What is especially good compared to other nobles? I don't even listen. "

"There are five knights, and the other hires are soldiers who have the strongest skills among the people of our territory.

"That's why it's not that strong. What would we do to get rid of it? If you work with us, it's easy."

Neglecting the last, it seems that the number of hands and skill of Vestello's Baron are not so many. Surely, this is a peaceful territory for the people.

For the folk.

[Only answer the questions.

Answer what you know about the High Priest Gordan and the Knights of the Temple]

"The high priest and the knight of the temple are not usually in town. Well ... well, the priest who is famous for killing vampires, and the temple knights that he brings are all elite. "

"Yeah, it's a variant of climbing up to a high priest with the skill of a priest, and it's said that many vampires and their minions have been exterminated from vampires and their subordinates. It has been rumored that vampires who have lived for 100 years have been exterminated, and that adventurers are as good as B-class. "

"But, if we, with a view of the land, are on our side, it's easy to outsmart them, so get us down."

"So that's it. Is that priest a veteran vampire hunter ... then the next one is about the five-colored blade, but before that ... let's get ready because it's just right. "

Ask the living hunters to bring the third huntsman up to the door.

"What is it? Will you take me down? We can be useful, if the bow arm is Evvezia ... hey! "

The man, whose head was held up by a bone monkey and whose nape was restrained, begged for his life in an ascending voice, but had never heard of Vandalou.

At first, the fangs pierce the man's neck.

"Giyapop!"

"Johan!"

Listening to the chorus of the screams of a man named Johan and the Olbys, Vandaloo throbbed and throbbed his blood.

"I feel more greasy than hares, and it feels a little salty."

And of course, breastfeeding in the breasts of Darussia is better. However, since he wakes up and eats for the first time, he stopped screaming without saying luxury, and drank blood until he slept.

"Wow ... oh, bone monkey, push my back lightly. Yes, there ...

After getting helped by a burp like a baby, show off Johann's earthy color to the Olbys.

And tell them in the sand letters to them.

[Isn't that just answering the questions?]

Olby and another huntsman nodded with a broken neck after seeing Johann, who had died from the blood of his whole body, and Vandalu, who had no change in expression after killing him.

The opponent is a baby, but he doesn't have the sweetness and compassion of a child, and he may have finally realized that he can be killed without hesitation if he opposes even a little.

[So, what do you know about Heinz, the five-colored blade and the Blue Flame Sword? ]

From there, I was able to hear from the Olbys very smoothly. The probation was probably too scary.

The five-colored blade is a five-person adventure party, and Heinz seems to be the leader and still a teenager, but a B-class two-person successor.

The other members are also C-class, and they seem to be skillful.

"After all, I'm definitely an opponent who can't win now, including the High Priest Gordan"

The next thing I heard was about the geography around here. Around Star Vestello's Baron and where the High Priests of Gordan are looking for now.

This was helpful. I actually heard of the animal spirits possessed by the bone monkeys, but they didn't get the point.

The spirits are more willing to talk to Vandaloo than yesterday, but the source is animals and bugs anyway. He does not know the specific directions and distances that humans can reference.

There's no problem if you give directions on the spot or over there, but if you try to get it on the map, confusion is inevitable.

"Then we need water and food now."

The Gordan priests are now looking for an irrelevant place. However, this forest doesn't seem to be that large. In ten days they will be exhausted.

It is bad to run away in a hurry.

Vandaloo is an odd eye with one of the features of Dumpel, which has a reddish eye, so it cannot be hidden because it cannot hide its identity. However, living in the open air without securing a safe zone like this cave house is too dangerous.

Because--.

"I'm six months old and need a long sleep. In fact, it's still pretty sleepy. '

Regardless of whether one parent is a vampire, has a high ability score, or has acquired several skills, there is no difference in being a baby. It's much better than a month old, but it often sleeps and stays up late at night.

You can control sleep by using condition resistance skills, but that will have a negative effect on future growth. It would not even want Darussia.

Therefore, Vandaloo chose to remain hidden until the High Priests Gordan gave up the search. I didn't think that I would be forced to stay withdrawn in the latter half of my life, but this is also to survive.

"Oh, what's going on?-Don't you hear me anymore?"

"Well, let me go!"

The Olbys start to make noise, but their role as a source of information has ended. Once again bound to the mouth by ivy.

“Wait, wait! Ask me, miss it!

What is it to me? fiance? Wife? A little girl? Old mother? What do you intend to say to the habit of telling the mother of your young son?

No matter what, their role remains the same.

Vandalu told it in sand letters.

[You are food]

Two muffled screams rose.

A long time ago. There were only two great gods in this world.

Diakhmer, the great black god.

Aragon, the white giant god.

The two gods were fighting each other. No one already knows which was good and which was evil. They were fighting because there was nothing but them.

The battle of the gods, which seemed to continue indefinitely, was settled in the form of a diapmel and arazan strike.

Black and white giant gods overlap and fall, and new gods are born from their bodies.

Vida, Goddess of Life and Love

Arda, God of Light and Law

Zantak, the god of fire and destruction

Peria, Goddess of Water and Knowledge

Sizarion, the god of wind and art

Botin, mother and god of the earth

Genie of Time and Art Recruit

Zuluwan, God of Space and Creation

They add the three gods of the eight pillars, the god of the emperor Marduk, the giant god Zeno, and the beast god Ganpaprio, and call them the eleven gods of the founder.

The Eleven Gods cooperated to create this world, Lambda, not to be like giants who used their power to fight each other out of loneliness.

The eight pillars of the attribute gods created human beings by imitating themselves and taught them as their relatives.

The dragon emperor Marduk created the dragon species, and the giant god Zeno created the giant as his kin.

And as their food, the beast god Ganpaprio spawned countless birds and beasts and released fish into the sea.

The dwarf's founder was born from the war god Zantak and the mother god Botin, and the elf's founder was born from the goddess Peria and Sizarion, and humans became a collective term for wisdom races, and those who were previously called humans were called races. It has been revised.

The resulting world was peaceful. People worshiped the gods, and at that time the dragons and giants were clever and intelligent, and wild mountains were crowded with birds and beasts that could eat enough even if they did not meet, and the sea was full of rich grace.

However, this peace was ended farther than the stars, by the demon king Gudulanis who appeared from the abyss.

When Gudranis descended on Lambda, he set out to battle the world with my gods, evil and evil.

The demon's filthy magical powers led to the creation of monsters, such as goblins and orcs, that never existed in Lambda, and the devils turned them into servants and fought against the gods.

Until then, human races had competed and hunted birds and beasts for life, but those who had never experienced a real killing were confused, and the gods were cornered by inferiority. The war god Zantak, the Dragon Emperor Marduk, and the giant god Zeno fought brilliantly with their kins, and the genie Rikurent gave magic to humans and conducted it, but did not overturn the war situation, and the beast god Ganpaprio did a good fight Has also been destroyed.

But to counter the Demon King's army, Zuluwan, the god of space and creation, summoned seven heroes from another world.

The seven heroes taught people how to fight, gave them the wisdom to create excellent weapons, and fought bravely at the forefront.

After a fierce battle following the fierce battle, the Demon King Guduranis was finally destroyed and sealed without leaving any piece of meat. His evil and evil gods also lost power, some were destroyed, and others were caught in a seal equivalent to death.

But what was left was hardly a victory.

The war god Zantak fell to darkness under the curse of the god, Peria died into the sea, and Sizarion returned to the wind. Botyn was sealed deep in the ground, and both Rikurent and Zuluwan fell asleep to regain power.

Marduk was torn in thousands, and Zeno broke his heart. Their kin was weakened, the number of dragons decreased, and the number of inferior dragons increased, and many of the giants became monsters that worshiped evil and evil gods.

The heroes have reduced the number to three, and the humans have reduced to the point where adding the elves and dwarves to the most ethnic race will still be able to maintain a single town.

Insufficient numbers to maintain civilization and culture, and even if the Demon King is destroyed, Lambda has a land where the demon is contaminated by magic and fights with the Demon King's army, monsters rampage, and Makai exist everywhere, and survive from there the demon who was the state that increase the number endlessly.

Arda, a two-pronged god who had left power, chose to lead those who survived with the heroes. However, the goddess Vida thought that joining new humans with those who survived by creating new races was a shortcut to Lambda's recovery.

Vida is a goddess of life and love. Her power was more about creating new races than fighting.

First, he crossed with the sun giant Talos, who maintained a noble spirit and goodness without becoming a monster, and created a race, a giant who has a robust and strong body but keeps a size that can barely live in a race town.

Next, he created a human, a dragon race, with the power and horns of a dragon, between Tiamat and the most powerful dragon among the surviving Marduuk kins.

In addition, he spawned a wide variety of beast races with the bird and beast kings who belonged to Ganpaprio, and a mermaid with the sea god Tristan, who was one of Pelia's arms.

He then met the elven youth who served him at the time, creating a physically superior dark elf with the same magical power as the elf.

Arda condemned the goddess's deed as an act of pushing even this desolated world into further chaos. Arda, the god of law, couldn't stand Vida's creation of new races.

But because Vida believed in her correctness, the conversation between the two gods was always parallel.

Vida finally intersects with the demons, producing Lamia, Scylla, Arachne, Centaur, Harpy, and the Demon.

He gave the soul of Zachart, one of the heroes who died in the battle with the Demon King, the power of life attributes to undead and intermingled, creating a vampire.

The born vampire ancestors had power comparable to God in every aspect. And I was able to give that power to humans. Giving your own blood could make that person a vampire.

But Arda was furious at Vida's association with the demons and the creation of vampires.

Arda, together with three heroes, sought to destroy Vida and the race she created, allegingly creating an unconventional, out-of-order entity of the world.

Vida naturally fought with the heroes, Zachart, and the Ardas to protect his new race. However, he was deeply wounded by a single piece of paper, and fell from the position of God as a fallen god.

The surviving Ardas had no power to destroy the new races of Vida, including the surviving vampires, and the god of life had disappeared, so they did not replace Vida with depleted bodies. It has become no longer.

Arda claims to be the god of light, the law, and the god of life, and his followers call him the god of life, but over 100,000 years after the battle with Vida, the world is still in chaos.

"This is Lambda's creation myth"

"Thank you, mother. It was very helpful. "

As she prepares to hide in her house, she hears the myth of the Lambda world from the spirit of Darussa, who dwells in her remains.

The house transported emergency food, such as beasts and other beasts, including the Olbys, to the undead and used plenty of stone golems to make plenty of water.

After that, continue to create the golem with the soil and stone of the cave, order `` stand by standing upright and immobile as it is '', move the golem made of soil and stone in the back to the entrance, and expand the cave to the back The golem was released at the entrance, and the entrance was covered.

With the magical power, the golem could be shaped freely to some extent, so it was a great answer if I tried to use it in architecture.

He placed pieces of furniture and vases that were broken when the entrance was closed, and disguised it as if the cave that had been a hideout seemed to have collapsed. I just pray that I won't say "dig up!"

Since it has already been expanded to fill the entrance more than fifty meters deep, it would be impossible to do a large-scale civil engineering work or hire a skilled earth attribute magician.

There is no problem because the air is secretly pierced into the fist-sized air hole. Lighting is not needed due to night vision skills.

The preparations for underground life in Vandalu are thus prepared.

And I'm spending the time I've heard from Darussia.

"So this is the northeastern part of the continent of Bang Gaia, one of the Amid empires, the Milg Shield. And the empire and its dependent nations are religious religions, the religious god Arda.

It should be reasonable and dangerous. "

Arda is a god who fights with each other if the existence of a new race created by Vida, such as a vampire, disrupts order. Naturally, mixed-race children with vampires are the targets of persecution.

Adventurers' guilds in the Amid Empire and its territories, where Arudaism has a strong influence, are being slammed up with requests for suppression. By the way, the part to prove subjugation .... It seems that the subjugation part is a crimson eyeball.

This makes sense to hide in the forest.

In addition, new ethnic groups created by Vida after fighting the Demon King, such as Dark Elves, Beastmen, and Dragons, such as Darussia, may be subject to persecution.

In the Amid Empire and its dependencies, only races, elves, and dwarves are recognized as "humans", and other giants, dark elves, beastmen, and dragons are called "sub-humans" and discriminated against. The prime example is that "humans" do not accept anything but criminal slaves, but "sub-humans" have no restrictions on buying, selling, owning, or using as slaves.

Tribes created by Vida in connection with demons, including vampires, are, of course, subjugated as just demons. However, the same number of vampires and Lamias killed by adventurers and soldiers of the Amid Empire and stripped of their defeated parts from the corpse, or more, were returned and defeated by civilians. There is also the reality that there is.

On that subject, the followers of Alda asserted, "So they are evil demons. My God was right!" And the followers of Vida said, "They have become demon-stained, doing harm to humans. For tens of thousands of years, screaming and shouting, "It's because you have lost the guidance of the goddess!

"Now, let's talk about dads, vampires, and dumplings."

"Good. But it's about time for a nap, so I'll wake up. ''
