The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Fifth episode-if you can't be strong, you should be strong around
"Special training"
Vandalu arranged his handpiece undead in front of the cave and thought so.
Randocorte's curse made it impossible for him to strengthen himself by leveling up or changing jobs, saying, `` If you can not be strong, you should strengthen me (servant) '' I changed my mind and decided to strengthen my hand piece.
I thought that if you followed a strong undead, you could expand the range of things you could do.
`` It may be difficult to take me to town, but my mother says that there are adventurers who are in jobs such as tamers, sorcerers, summoners who follow monsters, and it will be managed somehow ''
In the future, I want to have a fighting power that can defeat the demon in a stable manner, but now if I can run as fast as I was living on my back, I will leave this forest and go on a journey Is enough.
"In addition, if you keep it as it is, you will lose not only demons but also wild wolves and bears. Before this, the goblin had beaten the bone goblins. ''
The freshly made undead were very weak. Of course, there are only undead equivalent to rank 1, but I think it would be good to make a strong monster from the beginning, but Vandaloo did not know how to make a strong undead of rank 2 or higher.
In his previous life, when he first learned the magic of death, he had almost no experience of undead himself.
"The researchers at that facility can't give me the chance to collect hand pieces. It was long before my body and magic had no freedom. Without it, I knew a lot about the immortal soldier research they were doing.
It seems that the research failed after all. '
Switch heads and first check the current strength.
Except for the undead for collecting information such as insects, arrange things that are likely to fight.
Bone monkeys, bone wolves, bone people, bone bears, bone birds. There are other bone boars, bone rabbits, bone goblins, etc., but these five are the only bones that have missing or large lack of bones and all bones have no major damage.
"Now, what is the special training, what should we do?
Vandaluu, who realized that he had no idea what to do with the bone monkeys, was appalled.
Speaking of special training to become stronger, even amateurs will come up to some extent.
Run to improve endurance and strength training to improve strength.
Learn martial arts and martial arts styles, practice combat-style kumite, and so on.
But what is the most effective and rewarding training for the undead in front of Vandaloo?
Run-meaningless. Despite having no heart or lungs, a tireless undead is what it is all about to improve endurance.
Strength training-again would not make sense. What can you do by doing push-ups and abdominal exercises with a bone-only body that has no muscles in the first place?
Mastering martial arts and martial arts styles-I can't teach because I don't know Vandaloo in the first place.
Practical kumite-Undead's intelligence is so low that they fight until they either fall apart, so they are just crushing.
To begin with, Vandaloo himself has never experienced combat training. I think that on average the person who could exercise on the earth was able to exercise, but only learned judo in junior high school and high school physical education classes, so it is not very practical to use. At the origin, it goes without saying.
"... to the spirits of Olby and others-no, it's impossible"
What they know is the art of bows. And the undead do not yet have the intelligence to use the bow. There is no point teaching this.
"Let's check the status again."
Earlier, Darussia lamented that he could check the status of Vandaloo, but Vandaloo was able to check the status of the undead.
Perhaps the impossible was possible even for parents and children, probably because the undead were subordinate to Vandaloo. I'm not sure because Darussia didn't know too much about the types of jobs and skills, such as the sorcerers and tamers who subordinate the demons.
The status of the undead is as follows.
Name: (Bone monkey, bone wolf, bone bear, bone man, bone bird)
Rank: 1
-Race: Living Bone
Level: 0
Passive skills
Night vision
Active skills
None
"Weak ... too weak"
The undead were all of the same race, regardless of the type of bone they were made from, and had the same stats.
Living bones. It is a corpse that has begun to move after it has become bone only. There are no other features.
Although he has begun to move, his movements are slow and his strength is much weaker than that of an average adult male. Agility can only move slowly, not run. Also, you cannot use the abilities and skills that the Lord of the bones had in their lifetime.
Although it is hard only on the bones, it is often surprisingly easy to defeat it when attacking the joints.
With little intelligence or instinct, it is the perfect training partner for apprentice adventurers.
In other words, it is an undead that cannot be relied on as a force.
"How do you make those guys stronger? Two months after the creation, the level remains 0. So, I haven't done anything that would be a living bone experience.
So what is the experience value?
Swordsmen gain experience in combat and training swords, farmers gain experience in farming, and arms crafters gain experience in weapons manufacturing. So why do undead earn experience? How do monsters gain experience?
"Do you kill humans?
I came up with something like a monster that harms humans ... even if the answer is correct, it's hard to do.
Killing Evvezia people will not hurt Vandaloo's heart, but killing a person and requesting a defeat from the adventurer's guild will kill him if he returns to underground life and hides again.
It may be possible to escape using only the undead as a decoy. However, the whole body bones of large animals such as bone monkeys are not easily found. It is not a piece that can be used endlessly.
"Well, let's kill creatures like rabbits and rodents."
Until now, the undead were still alive, even if trapped by prey, such as hares, because Vandaloo needed fresh live blood instead of breast milk. Vandalu chewed it with his fangs and sucked blood.
So maybe the undead can earn experience if they kill them with their own hands.
The next day, the undead managed to capture a single goblin.
The Gordan priests should have reduced the number considerably, but they did not seem to be extinct. There is no doubt that the adventurer's guild will permanently set up a defeat request.
"Gyu, Gauge!"
I don't know if it's just a menacing or screaming in Goblin language, but the goblin screams annoyingly while being held down by the undead.
"Is this a goblin ..."
Vandalu, staring at it, was impressed without expression. That's a true fantasy world.
Goblin. It seems that Lambda is no exception in being treated as a typical small fish monster in many fantasy works.
A lower-class demon that lives in ordinary forests and grasslands other than the demon world where many demons live. The body with dark green skin is only as large as an adult's chest, and its ears are as long as an elf, but its face is ugly enough to be incomparable.
He has the same or slightly lower power as humans, and is not particularly agile. The intelligence is about three years old, the armed person is good if it wields a tree branch and wraps the skin of a beast around the body.
The rank is 1 and it is stronger than the living bone alone, but if it is one, it is a small fish that can be beaten by a farmer with a hoe. However, care must be taken because there are multiple superior species.
And the goblin is most feared for its fertility and adaptability.
Goblins give birth to a minimum of three and a multitude of eight children at a breeding age, and born children grow up in six months. And the growing goblins are spreading and adapting widely, from burning deserts to frigid permafrost.
"After that, there seems to be a setting to take away a human woman who is often in fantasy objects. It's not as oak
I ruin the knowledge I heard from Darussia, but thought that the goblin in front of me would not have done that. Simply, it doesn't have the strength to do it.
"For the time being ... everyone stabs"
Now that the impressive time is over, let's try to see if the undead can get experience.
"Gigyu!"
A bone monkey and a bone man kick the screaming goblin's head, and the bone bear and the bone wolf bite and scratch, and the bone bird sticks. It's a miserable method, but livingborn alone can't help but kill a goblin with a single blow.
And the goblin stuck in a dozen seconds. Then check the status of the bone monkeys-
Name: (Bone monkey, bone wolf, bone bear, bone man, bone bird)
Rank: 1
-Race: Living Bone
Level: 2
Passive skills
Night vision
Active skills
None
The level went up from 0 to 2.
"Oh, I've leveled up. Now it's clear that undead can gain experience by killing creatures. '
It was clear that the level of the undead created by death-type magic would rise, and Vandaloo was relieved and uplifted.
In this case, you will be able to live as an adventurer in a place where the influence of the Amid Empire and the God of Arda is out of reach. I feel very good.
"Hmm? I feel a little too good ... Status
Now, check your status.

·curse
Unable to carry over previous experience

Unable to acquire experience points
A surprising change was taking place.
"The level has risen from 0 to 3! ? Why is the curse left?
About eight months have been born in this lambda. Until now, no matter what you do, the level has not improved. You can practice death magic, suck a hare, or kill Olby in the same way.
Checking the status again is not a mistake. However, the curse of being unable to gain experience points seems to have not disappeared.
Then, Vandaloo, wondering why, wondered.
"Well, if bone monkeys gain experience, will some of them become mine?
There seems to be a system game on the earth where some monsters and alter egos of the hero get experience points and some of them are added to the hero.
Did the same happen?
"The effect of the curse is that you can't just earn experience on your own, but is it effective for me to earn the undead? ... It's a big hole for the curse of God. "
Despite the curse of desperate vandaloos who use death-attribute magic and encourage self-harm, they overlook the fact that undead can be used to gain experience points. It's a big loophole, so you might be wondering if it's a trap. You could easily expect that Bandarou would make an undead without thinking.
However, it seemed like a stupid thing considering Rodcorte.
"Speaking of which, he was basically throwing what he was doing. We give power and opportunity to other than me, and there is no detailed instruction or follow-up.
If so, why don't you care?
Probably, Rhodocorte looks at Vandalu and Hiroto Amamiya from the very top. Aristocrats and ordinary people are not such dimensions. The player playing the simulation game and the game character on the screen. There is such a difference.
So, even if you do something like Vandaloo, you can just do "bad things", and encourage desperate and self-harming to give up revenge.
So Rodcorte does not think deeply about Vandaloo. For him, Vandaloo is only one of a hundred characters.
"So why would this be a curse? With that, the job may be able to do something. '
Vandalou was rejoiced and relieved, but when she recalled, she became angry with Rodcorte again.
And if he did not commit suicide, he would renew his oath several times.
By the way, the goblin corpse was buried. The goblin's blood is unsavory, there is no material to strip off, and the subjugation can only be purchased by adventurers. We thought about making the corpse undead, but we stopped it because this would require more individuals to grow.
A campfire was burning in front of a forest cave where the sun had completely set.
Surrounding the red flame burning by the bonfire are five undead who light a pale flame in the hollow orbit. And an infant that is still a baby, keeping its chilling whiteness even when lit by the flames.
A dark elf spirit that appears to snuggle beside the infant is beautiful, but with bruises and wounds all over her body.
It's a spectacle that a traveler will run away with fear at a glance.
Then the spirit of the dark elf opened his mouth.
"~ ♪"
It was a frustrating song. A birthday song that was sung long ago when the braves celebrated their birthday, and is still sung when celebrating a birthday in Lambda World.
Kakkakka, Kashakashakasha, slick slick.
The bone-only undead engage in teeth and beaks as a substitute for the song, and make clapping and stepping sounds.
"Happy birthday, Vandaloo!
In response to the spiritual blessing, the infant breathed in a large breath and exhaled at the bonfire with short words.
"Heat"
The campfire, which was blown with magical breath, lost heat and suddenly disappeared. The area was filled with darkness, but the hearts of those who gathered here were as bright as the sun.
"Congratulations on your first birthday, Vandaloo. I'm so happy, Mom. '
"Thank you mom"
June in Milg Shield is less damp than Japan's early summer. Vandaloo is just one year old.
We are celebrating that birthday, but it cannot be denied that it is only poor in comparison to the birthday party of ordinary households of the earth and the origin.
No birthday cake or gifts. The feast is a soup modoki made by taking broth from raccoon bones, chopping the meat into small pieces and boiling it with herbs.
And fresh raccoon blood.
The meat is hard and smelling raccoon meat that can be forcibly eaten, which is not a very good meal. For Dumpel, Vandaloo, only blood is the salvation.
"sorry. If my mother was alive, I could have made a treat. '
But Vandaloo was happy.
"I won't apologize, mother. I'm very happy."
It was the first time to celebrate his birthday, though he had lived with Earth, Origin. No researcher at the origin celebrated the guinea pig's birthday. For them, it would only mean a day to increase the number in the age column of the data by one.
On earth, he lived with his uncle's family. No cakes or presents. Congratulations have never been said. I celebrated my uncle's couple's children.
So this is the first birthday party.
"Vandaloo ..."
"And today is an anniversary with a lot of happy things."
In Darussia, which moisturizes her eyes when she is fluent, Vandaloo says there are many other things to commemorate.
First, I can speak properly. This is surprisingly important, and now that you can speak, you can cast spells that you couldn't do before.
Until now, they couldn't cast spells, so they used too much magic and fired them. Thanks to this, it consumes several times the normal magic power, and its effect is less than half the normal cost. If Vandalu did not have too much magic, he would not have been able to do so.
However, as a result of continuing to use magic without chanting, I gained the [Spell Discard] skill immediately after I became able to talk, so I did not have to cast spells after all.
Darussia was a surprisingly rare skill, but he fell a bit off the beat.
The bone monkeys all reached level 100 and moved up to rank 2.
Name: (Bone monkey Bone wolf Bone bear Bone bird)
Rank: 2
-Race: Bone Animal
Level: 0-7
Passive skills
Night vision
Active skills
None
Name: Bone
Rank: 2
-Race: Skeleton
Level: 4
Passive skills
Night vision
Active skills
None
As usual, there is no skill other than night vision, but the benefits of ranking up were great.
The bone monkeys that became bone animals have increased their stats as a whole, and their stats have risen to about the same level as before birth. Later, he not only obeys the instructions of Vandaloo, but also regains the intelligence of a beast.
The only race to which rank-ups were bones was skeletons, which is natural because the material is human bones. A skeleton with human-like power and human-like agility is still a small fish from the perspective of adventurers, but is a reliable force for Vandaloo.
Put on leather armor that has been stripped off from the Olbys, and equip a wooden shield made from daggers and wood golems. Yumi is currently practicing.
By the way, Vandaloo also reached level 100. However, since the job [None] was at level 100, the ability value did not increase much. Although the job change conditions have been satisfied, the facilities required for the current job change are meaningless because special rooms in various guilds and temples cannot be used.
And while the strength was in place, Vandaloo knew it was still too early to get revenge on Evvezia. There is not enough power yet. You can still do revenge and complete it. But then she escapes from Ebbezia and from the Milg Shield, it's hard to get to a safe place in the city where D'Ampeel can live.
Now that we can't be satisfied with revenge on Evvezia, we need to improve our strength and supplies.
"So I'm going to hunt bandits tomorrow."
Bandit. It is not a monster, but a criminal who is armed and forms a cabal and robbed outdoors.
In other words, human.
There was a rational reason why pursuing more strength and supplies would kill humans aggressively.
"Recently, no matter how many hunts of hares and raccoons, the level of the bones has risen, and there is no monster in this forest stronger than the goblins.
But Evvezia is the center of the highway leading to other villages, so if you're a bandit you'll find some. Killing bandits will give you the bone monkeys' experience, and you'll also get the supplies you have stored.
I think they are two birds with one stone "
Furthermore, there is no law in this world to punish bandits whether they kill bandits or pocket their stolen goods from victims. Killing criminals on Earth or the Origin, and embezzling stolen goods will make you a worthy criminal. However, lambdas are not guilty of killing bandits by civilians,
On the contrary, they are praised for doing well, but they are not accused of "killing" or "disregarding human rights."
Embezzlement of stolen goods is also a legitimate right of those who defeat bandits. The idea is that if the owner just wants to get it back, he should negotiate with the defeated individually.
"But exterminating bandits is dangerous. Even an adventurer is a D-class job. "
Dalcia, worried about Vandalu, smiles that Vandalu is OK.
"It's okay because you're surprised, and there are already a few stars in the bandit's whereabouts."
From the next day, even the adventurers voluntarily started to do D-class jobs at the age of one.
