The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 10: Talk your dream with armor in both hands

A week after Vandaloo left, Kazechomi's leader Kash and his colleagues, who won the first search right at the adventurer's guild terro branch, jumped into the dungeon.

They weren't solely concerned with the right to explore, solely because of honor or promotion. The treasures available in dungeons were also a big reason.

The ranks of monsters that appear in dungeons, and the quality and value of items that can be obtained, are determined to some extent. But that's the case with discovered dungeons that regularly enter adventurers.

If no one enters and defeats monsters for a longer period of time, the number of monsters in the dungeon will increase and the monsters will kill each other, and the survivors will increase their level, and in some cases, rank up. This raises the difficulty of the capture, but the value of the items available in the dungeon also jumps accordingly.

Especially if it's an undiscovered dungeon that has never been explored by anyone. The first search is both high risk and high return.

For this reason, Kash and his coaches were expecting a large amount of harvest while preparing for danger.

However, when I entered, it was a beat. Most goblins appear on the first basement level, with occasional goblin soldiers and archers. On the second basement floor, igniting the lantern that I had brought with me and proceeding with caution did not make it difficult, and on the third basement floor, if I was careful of my muddy feet, it was easy.

"The demons that come out are almost rank 1. Even though there is rank 2, there are few numbers."

"Maybe this is an F-class dungeon with the lowest capture difficulty among dungeons?"

Dungeons are graded by adventurer guilds according to difficulty. It is based on the criteria that it is desirable for the same adventurer to take part in several parties.

The F-class dungeon was a labyrinth that was used as a training ground for new adventurers with the lowest capture difficulty among dungeons.

Obviously, the harvest in the dungeon is only small enough for the D-class adventurers to see.

"But why are the stairs in this dungeon sloping? The climb up and down there is the hardest."

"Well? Isn't that training your legs and legs?"

It was up to the third basement floor that I could afford to chat like that. When they descended on the fourth basement floor, they had to fight hard.

"Ooooooo"

"Death!"

"Why suddenly rank 3 zombie soldiers and wraiths come out!"

"Kash! I'm aiming for a skeleton archer from the back!"

"Hey! I've come to Stone Golem!"

Up to the third basement level, rank 2 demons had reduced the number of demons because Vandaloo had defeated them once. However, they did not fall down from the 4th basement floor, so they stayed there.

In addition, the stone golem, which Vandaloo created and abandoned in order to avoid traps, attacks the monsters in the dungeon.

And the undead attacked violently at Kash who did not have the skill of [Enchanting Death Attributes].

Kash and his colleagues, Wind Kaze, only aimed to be promoted to class C, and had fought not only rank 3 but also rank 4 monsters. There is also. If you're a rank 3 demon, you're a veteran who can win twice as many party members.

However, it is not enough to keep fighting with the rank 3 demons endlessly.

"Shit! I'll pull once!"

Choosing a strategic withdrawal before the damage increases, Kash and his colleagues return to Terreau, giving up their monopoly on their achievements and cooperating with Steel Wings and White Stars to challenge the dungeon again.

There were fifteen veteran D-class adventurers, so they easily broke through the fourth basement floor and managed to capture the fifth basement floor, but the boss monster ranks 6, Black Skull General, and their subordinate ranks 4 Curse Armor It will be a tough fight for all of them.

Eventually, they will have to withdraw, and they will give up their first dungeon strategy to the C-class adventure party requested by the adventurer's guild, but that C-class adventurer will also be discouraged.

"I was expecting it because I heard it was not captured, but this is it."

Although they had successfully defeated Black Skull General, there were no treasures in the treasure chest that C-class adventurers would expect, and in their senses they were only worth the value of pocket money.

Black Skull General's weapons and shields also had troublesome powers, such as absorbing magical powers while fighting, but collapsed as soon as they were defeated and could not be obtained Was.

Although undead monsters tend to have more gemstones than other monsters, monsters that are originally ranked 4 or higher can generally get gemstones.

Despite their disappointment, they decide to leave the dungeon, but later, they never dreamed that an infant who was neither an adventurer nor an attacker had captured them before them.

Later, this dungeon was an E-class dungeon, and it was determined that powerful monsters appeared below the fourth basement floor when not captured because the period during which the adventurers did not thin out was long.

And it was used as a training ground for later-novice adventurers.

Metallic armor is added on the skin of the demon, and the lining is made of soft demon hair so as not to hurt the soft skin. In addition, it is an ornamental item that is seemingly thin and fragile because it gives various resistances due to the magic power that is put in, but it is actually a better armor than a poor sheet metal armor.

The blue high-leg armor splits into a V-shape over the sharply cut crotch, exposing the navel and belly, which contains important internal organs, to defenseless exposure. It will only hide about two-thirds of the chest bulge above it, and your back will be bare, just above your hips.

The red bikini-type armor is not outstripped by its small area. Again, the bulge of the chest will only hide about two-thirds, and the bottom is quite low-rise, considering whether it can be worn by a race with a tail like a beastman.

Unlike such a swimsuit-like body, the shoulder rest, back of the hand, and leg are made firmly. The imbalance is as if the wearer seems to be restrained in an unsightly manner, and will be an exciting sight for the viewer.

If a girl was wearing it.

"After all, there was nothing to worry about."

Vandalou nodded when he saw the two armor, Heile Guamer and Bikini Armer, standing in front of him.

Yes, only armor.

To be precise, Heile Guamer has the spirit of Thalia, the daughter of Sam's daughter. The bikini-armer has the spirit of her second daughter, Rita.

Both of them are older daughters, and Sam says she is a pretty daughter like her mother.

“………………”

However, now she is in the armor, she can only see that armor. Even in the eyes of Vandaloo, who has a death attribute.

I guess it is better not to see the spirit because it was a charred burnt corpse.

As I asked Sam when she was holding them in this armor and making them living armor, she said that even though she was in such a highly exposed armor, their skin was not exposed as much as the tip of her little finger, There is no need to worry.

If you look into your chest, you can see only the lining of the armor, not the cleavage.

"Well, is it enough to think that the rank 3 friends have increased?

Let's do the experiment right away. "

While saying so, Vandaloo began to pour too much magic on Saria and Rita. Hundreds of thousands of millions of black magic with death attributes are sucked into Saria and Rita.

……………!

The two tremble as if they writhe, but it seems that there will be no further changes after a while.

Checking the status does not change the rank or level. It's just a living highleg armor and a living bikini armor.

Looks good for some reason.

"Is it useless?"

The same was done for the bones, but nothing changed. ... I feel like my bones are shiny or the cracks are gone.

Skeleton generals and living armor encountered in dungeons seemed to be strong.

"Maybe you don't meet the rank-up requirements?"

"conditions?"

"Yes, I don't know much about demonic rank-ups, but I think there are other conditions besides leveling up if they are similar to human jobs."

According to Darussia, a job change can be subject to several conditions besides reaching the upper limit. For example, even if an adventurer in an apprentice magician's job reaches level 100, a certain level of magic skill, exactly 2Lv or more, is required to rank up as a magician. You must have earned at least one.

In addition to skills, you must have a knight's medal to change jobs to a knight, and you must possess a magic sword to change jobs to a magician, etc. May be related to conditions.

In other cases, you can only be changed to a Beast Fighter if you are born only of Beast Race.

Darussia says that there may be similar conditions for demonic rank-up.

"Then, those skeleton generals and living armor had already reached their maximum levels, but couldn't rank up because the conditions weren't met.

Did you put your magic in there and the conditions were met, and did you rank up? "

"It may be"

"So that's it"

Certainly it is true. It is not natural that you can use magic because the goblin has also been upgraded to become a goblin mage. It is natural to think that a goblin with magical talents has refined it and has been able to rank up as a goblin mage.

In other words, there is no easy story that only ranks with magic power.

"Now, if you have an undead that doesn't rank up when you reach level 100, try it.

Saria, Rita, thank you for going with the experiment. I'm practicing weapons with everyone. ''

Because they were maids, they obviously didn't know martial arts. So you need to keep training to get the skills right from the start.

So we decided to have them choose their weapons. If you think you'll probably choose a sword or a spear like a beginner ...

“…………”

Sarria grabbed Halberd and Rita grabbed Grave. All of them are found in the dungeon's treasure chest, but their specific effects are unknown, but they are fairly powerful magic items.

"... is that OK?"

Saria and Rita wave a weapon and ask "Very good!" To Vandalu asking. It is a living living armor, and it raises and lowers heavy-weight objects that would not be lifted if you were alive.

"It's fine, but if it's difficult, replace it with a sword or spear. If a heavy weapon is good, there's a club."

Vandalou said so and they gladly (maybe) started training with the bones to improve their skills.

The rules of thumb show that the more skills you use, the more you use them, so you're training to take full advantage of the undead trait of not having to sleep or take a break.

That said, no one knows how to use Halberd or Grave, including Vandalu, so try swinging it down from the top, piercing it like a spear, or shaking it across It's about to make a lot of swings.

It is much less efficient than the actual battle, but traveling with leveling work like a shura searching for goblin and bandits who are always experienced sources can not keep up with Vandaloo even if the bones are OK. There is also a feeling why he must contribute to maintaining security within the Milg shield.

"Then I'll be processing the walnuts I took yesterday."

The day is still high and I'm not sleepy yet so I can take a nap later. Vandaloo began to process the walnuts she picked up yesterday, as she was lazy alone.

There is enough food, but salt is the only seasoning, so make walnut sauce.

First, a bowl of walnuts collected yesterday noon. It is still blue and has pulp, so it cannot be eaten as it is. Spread this on the ground.

"Is it about a month? [Corruption]"

Then, with the magic of death attribute, the rot progresses rapidly for about a month. Then, the blue flesh becomes black and muddy.

Rinse the rotten pulp in the spring water that the golem has pumped, and the seeds come out. Then peel the shell and the walnut inside will come out, but don't squash and crush it. Doing so will mix the husk fragments and walnuts, reducing the amount you can eat.

Then, they had the walnuts lightly fried in an earth golem by a bonfire created by rubbing the wood golem with firewood on their own. Then the shell will be easier to crack.

"Afterwards, it's okay if the shell is broken with a knife after cooling."

That's all about Darcia's tips. With only the people of the forest, she was familiar with the forest.

Vandalou took the heat with [Rapid Heat] and cracked the walnut shell with his nails. He was told to use a knife, but recently he has been able to freely extend his nails to a certain extent.

"In the future, I will be able to fight with this."

His late father is a master of martial arts and apparently was good at fighting with claws. Is this also inherited? Darucia opened his mouth to Vandalu who thought so.

"In the future? Is there anything Vandaloo wants to do in the future?

"In the future? I want to be a nobleman with the credit of becoming an advanced adventurer. And I want to gain social fame."

"... the first half is childish, but the second half is a little bit, mom."

"But I need it most, social fame."

Vandalou replied, cracking the peach and walnut shells with their claws.

"When Hiroto Amamiya reincarnates in the future, no matter what is blown into Rodcorte, it will be rarely possible if I have social reputation."

Recently, I have noticed that Vandaloo and Hiroto Amamiya have something in common. The point is that you can't return to Earth and have to live on Lambda until you die.

No matter what Amamiya's cheat abilities have, it will not be easy to turn society into an enemy. Because they are being reincarnated in this world, they have a close sibling of this world. As you grow up, you'll be able to make friends, and maybe you'll have a lover.

If Vandaloo had gained social reputation, they would not have been able to go out of his way. It will bother your immediate family members and stakeholders. It would be even more so if Vandaloo was noble.

"Mom, society is my shield if I have power and fame."

"Um, I feel a little different from what I wanted to hear. What kind of dream would Vandalo have if Amemiya could manage the people?

"If you manage him ..."

So far, Vandalu has been able to see what Darussia wants to hear. In other words, she wants to know her future dreams, the profession she wants to make, and her desire to come true. An innocent dream that a child on earth wants to be a major leaguer, soccer player, and action star.

Unfortunately, Vandalu is not a dream child.

I feel like I was longing for an airplane pilot in the past. However, after living with his uncle's family, he longed for macho. I dreamed of becoming a log-like upper arm, a broken abs. If he could be so strong, he could get out of his uncle's control.

But that's not what Darussia wants to hear.

So what? I only dreamed of two letters of freedom at Origin.

"... I want to be happy."

After some thoughts, I came to the conclusion that it was too simple.

Gorigorigori. Vandalou stared into the distance while breaking the walnuts that had been cracked and crushed on a stone plate.

"I want to be happy, build warm homes and relationships, and live in luxury."

It's a vague and often dream, but this was the true intention of Vandaloo. I was thinking before I died on earth, it was an ideal.

That said, I would like to ride a luxury car like Cadillac or Ferrari with a beautiful woman sitting in the front passenger seat, or want to pack clothes with a luxury brand and put a luxury watch on my arm, or build a mansion in the city center It is not such a luxury to build.

He relies on a deep-rooted luxury complex, including what he did not realize.

Uncle, who raised him during the life on Earth where Vandalu was Hiroto Amamiya, sought to raise him strictly so that he, who has no parents, could live strong and secure alone.

For that reason he overprohibited spoiling him and banned any luxury in order not to spoil him. Not celebrating Christmas and birthdays only to him is just the beginning.

In Earth era, Vandaloo was banned from thinking that his uncle was "luxury".

Games and toys are luxurious, so don't play with them if you get them from your friends. Forbidden because fashionable items are luxurious. Are yo-yos popular? Begoma is popular? Is it a boom to collect unusual erasers? All are prohibited. If you have it, throw it away now.

Steaks and cakes are also luxurious. Hamburg steaks are luxurious because they are steaks and are prohibited. So don't eat it at school lunch. When you eat, vomit everything. Value pack? It is forbidden to try to earn money. Steak snacks are also prohibited. Oh no, all sweets are forbidden.

Dining out is luxurious, so it's banned whether it's fast food or not. Travel is luxurious, so school excursions are banned. Leisure is luxurious.

My uncle banned the luxury of Vandalu, as he thought he might be a luxury allergy. Even a cup of ramen or a confectionary bread at a convenience store has the words "luxury" or "excellent" in the product name or advertising phrase, and says, "I can't be luxurious and sweet without parents." And beat with a slap.

It was the worst after a documentary of poor overseas children was broadcast on television. Even though they are not doing anything, suddenly they are struggling so much, but their parents have no status and they are shy and shy how many times they have been slapped.

For that reason, my uncle's uncle's uncle's son of the same age falls, and meals are self-cooked from my own time. My behavior was always wrong, so I couldn't make friends and I was wary of the teacher.

Moreover, since his uncle had the conviction that hitting with a fist was abusive, but hitting with a flat hand was disciplined, his uncle never self-reflected.

Of course, my aunt and cousin will not stop my uncle, because it is safer to leave them unstoppable than to stop them to help Vandaloo.

There is still room for consent if these actions are inevitable without money. But there was money. Life insurance is a legacy of the parents of Vandalu on the earth. And compensation paid by the perpetrator of the accident.

In total, it is still enough to raise three children from babies and graduate from private university at the time.

Nevertheless, there's nothing to say anymore.

I could only go on high school excursions with the money I saved and saved myself, but as a result terrorists sunk the ship and stepped or kicked it.

Especially when you leave home and give away all the money you still have in your parents' heritage, especially when you consider that everything ended up with your uncle and his wife.

And the second life that began was experimental animal life at the origin. It's not something you can't afford in a life of freedom, not just luxury.

Therefore, only in his third life, Vandalu wanted to be happy and live in luxury.

For the time being, I want to live in a society where money can be used.

"I'm going to go to the Orbaum election kingdom to think about what is extravagant."

"so? But if you become an advanced adventurer I think you are very rich at that point

"Oh, it's okay. I'll kill High Priest Gordan and Heinz."

"U, yeah, thank you. But why not overdo it?

"I see. They're strong enough to kill them with plenty of time, mom."

"Is it safe then? But don't overdo it. '

Darussia seems to have transmitted something subtle, but gave up because he was unlikely to be able to correct his orbit. In fact, if you would be noble in the election of Orbaum, the Amid Empire and Gordan and Heinz, who are active in their dependencies, were likely to be enemies.

If Vanderlu thinks it needs to be killed, it is.

Add the herbs obtained in the forest to the mashed walnuts, and you're done. I really want to add fragrant oil here, but I'm patient because I don't have it. Now that dinner is good, Vandaloo exhaled satisfactorily.

"But I want to eat rice instead of hardened bread."

Uncle's luxury allergy rarely triggered rice. However, when I was living on the earth, I didn't think anything, but now, more than 20 years since I last ate rice, I miss it very much.

"Is rice the rice? I've heard that it is made in the Orbaum selection kingdom. I say bread Amid, rice Orbaum. "

"seriously!?"

In Vandalu, the stock of the Orbaum Kingdom has risen!

October when Vandaloo turned four years old. When autumn deepened and winter approached, we finally reached the eastern edge of the Milg shield country.

The east is a land that has no magical borders with nature. The Vandaloos have to go beyond that and go over the mountains.

But I guess it would be reckless to try to cross the mountains in winter, so let's hide in the woods while attacking surrounding bandits until spring. Now, as the sun sets, you're hiding in the forest near the magical area.

Vandaloo was thinking about that.

"Speaking of which, I've never skied. Will my current physical ability be able to slip right away?"

According to the figures on the status, Vandaloo's physical ability is the only one with low agility but already outperforms the average adult male. However, it would be reckless for an inexperienced person to slide down a natural slope.

"Ski? Is it also the thing of the earth?

A hazy white figure sitting on the platform. Sam talks. Sam's ghost carriage. He is also taking the reins of a spiritual horse there.

Its appearance is as uncertain as a ghost in a ghost photo, but Vandaloo thought it was easier to talk than when he couldn't see it at all.

"It's the sport of the earth. I'm putting my board on my feet and slipping on a snowy slope. Isn't it in this world?"

"I've never heard of it. I've heard of sleds, but

Talking to Sam and Darussia, Vandalu knows that this lambda has very few earth-like sports. To be precise, there is no kind of sport that you enjoy purely for competition and leisure. There are competitions with sword and bow and arrow techniques, but it is presumed that they will be used in defeating monsters and in human wars. Athletics and equestrian are the same.

The only exceptions are those commonly learned as tastes of royal aristocrats.

Lambda lacks ball games such as baseball and soccer, and leisure sports such as surfing and skiing.

The reason is that there are many powerful enemies called monsters and there is less room than Earth. If you spend your great physical abilities in such sports competitions, it means fighting.

I guess rabbits and horns are being developed as sports competitions, and if there are 100,000 years, skiing can be invented from sleds. This may be the reason why Rodcorte is treated as an inferior world. Well, there may be something similar to Snow Country just because Sam doesn't know.

"Sam, skiing is--"

When Vandaluu tried to talk about skiing, he heard a faint voice.

"A woman's scream?"

"It sounds like that."

And a good smell of appetite that smells slightly in the wind. It's blood.

Beyond the wind, a woman screams and sheds blood. In other words, someone is attacking you.

"How do you like?

The reason why he hears this is because he is not a group that always takes the usual action of "going for help" or "avoid getting involved".

After all, everyone is a monster to be defeated in this Milg shield country. If you help a poor woman, you can easily imagine that the woman brought a group of adventurers who were thankfully defeated.

So, if you reasonably consider the risks, you should choose to ignore and continue your journey.

That said, the option of not helping a red stranger who doesn't even know the face doesn't seem to be the choice now that he's heard of Vandaloo's character and goals.

"Sam heads upwind. Bone birds are in scouting, Bonemen and Thalia, and Rita are in a carriage."

Vandaloo's choice was to "help if it's dangerous anyway before thinking about the rest."

Although opportunistic, once a woman has been killed, she can't survive to "help after all." But on the other hand, if you take this option, you can kill and shut down, "Let's stop helping."

So, rationally, this choice is right. So Vandalu thought.

"Gayee"

The bone birds sing and flutter the wings of the spirit body, jumping up, and the boners and thalia who had been training before jump into the carriage.

"Ok, Bochan"

A spirit horse runs slowly. Sam is one of the few talkable undead in the group, but he does give his opinion, but he does not object.

And Vandaloo tunes the bone bird and the field of sight magically. Now you can see the bone bird's view like your own.

Jumping high and high, a few people are doing something at the border between the forest and the grassland, outside the magical border of the forest near the forest.

A bird's eyesight is not as good as a living bird, either because of the lack of eyeballs or because of the immature Vandaloo magic.

However, I was able to get a rough idea of humans. The total number is five ... no, six.

Four of them are standing. One person is falling. It is one person who stands on the middle so as to straddle the falling person.

All are men except one who is falling. Three people are wearing metal armor. One leather armor, one robe. Straddling is one of the metal armor.

It is probably an adventurer, as the equipment is disjointed. It seems that they are vigilant for the time being, but their vigilance is whether monsters come out of the Makai and do not seem to be supposed to be attacked by the forest.

In the daytime, it is difficult to find a bone bird consisting only of bones and pale glowing spirits, looking up in the distant sky, so there is no possibility that reconnaissance will be noticed.

And falling down is a woman with a strange skin color with long hair ... gray-brown skin. She is half-naked and bleeds.

Now, a man on the back reaches for a woman's chest.

"Sam, sneaking and running fast. Everyone, let's kill them all."

The moment I see it, blood rises on Vandalu's head. And calmly, he decided to kill all the men. They seem to be adventurers, but they're probably low-ranking bandits.

It is deplorable that adventurers in this country have no morals because there are people like Heinz of the Blue Flame Sword in such places.

"I'm afraid, Bochan"

Sam rocks the reins up and down, speeding up the carriage. However, it still does not shake in the carriage and the sound is incredibly small.

[Driving on bad roads] Enables you to activate the [High speed driving] skill and run on grasslands that are not paved with skills. The sound that should be generated can be turned off with the [Sniffing Feet] skill because the horse is a spirit body and a part of Sam. In addition, the shaking that should be severe is reduced by the [shock resistance] skill.

Sam is also a cheat as a carriage. Vandalou thought that he would definitely want to be a luxury limousine.

Bone bears, bone wolves, and bone monkeys run side by side at the wild speed.

"The boner waits for my signal and strikes the armor with a bow first. Probably because he is a bandit, it is troublesome to escape. Sam will catch up, but just in case.

I seem to be a magician in a robe. Everyone is in opposition to three other metal armor members. ''

Vandalou said, looking sideways at the bone man pointing the arrow to the bow.

"Let's help the girl."

This is good deeds.

Monster commentary

Living armor

The presence of the demonized spirit in the armor. Most of them are spirits of soldiers, knights, adventurers, and other people who have fought in mortal armor, but few have retained their memories and personality. The vast majority of them have become those who can indiscriminately live indiscriminately.

The strength depends on the dwelling armor and weapon you have, but the individuals who dwell on the chainmail and half plate are ranked 3rd. Individuals dwelling in full plate armor are classified as rank 4.

In rare cases, you may be in the magic item's armor, in which case the rank depends on the magic item's function.

The subjugation proof site is a magic stone that can be almost certainly obtained regardless of rank. The materials are the armor that dwelled and the weapons and shields that I had. Since it has magical power, it may become a magic item after being defeated. It is dangerous to use it as it is because it may be cursed, but it can be used safely if it is purified.

In the case of Thalia and Rita, the spirits are in the armor of the magic items.

However, since the function of the armor is not impaired, there is no effect on defense and resistance skills.

Skill explanation

Mental pollution

Skills that express mental confusion, the depth of trauma, the severity of phobia, etc. It also functions as a resistance skill that protects the mind from poisons, curses, and magic.

However, organizations that encourage the acquisition of this skill are often involved in or behind the scenes. Some urban areas interpret this skill as a form of illness, and there are specialized clinics.

In fact, this skill is often owned by morbid sadists and murderers, soldiers and adventurers who have suffered disastrous battles, and assassins who have been deprived of murder and guilt. However, since there are many artists and inventors who have left their name in history, there are not many people who have achieved feats, and they are not likely to be detained for having this skill.
