The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 16: Ghoul King due to skill

"That's why I think I'm going to take part in a battle of death.

`` Vandaloo, there is no parent who can be reassured by my child saying that ''

"... after all, stop it?"

"Hmm, but it's always a matter of life, and if you're a Vandalu you'll be able to work hard to die ... but will you cooperate with everyone?

"I know, mother."

The spirit of the Kobold Shaman, which has been made up of two vertical swords with magic swords, has come here over seven days, and the Noble Orc has built a large settlement, accumulating strength while attacking other ghoul settlements and capturing adventurers Provided valuable information that

Vandalu was a little worried that he would believe such a story, but Zadiris and Ghoul believed without doubt. I thought that I should have trust.

"Three hundred oaks, one hundred goblins and one kobolt. What do you do? Can you win with your outing?"

"Well, is that 300 enemies?"

"Five hundreds, stupid. I can't count."

"Neither goblins nor Kobolts are oaks that are our enemies of Ghoul! You only have to kill five of them, so we win!"

"Hey, are we still in the numbers? I have a baby on my stomach?"

"Mr. Bilde is in her fourth month of pregnancy and can't do intense exercise such as fighting."

"And their head is the Noble Oak. Noble Oak is stronger than Mom and Vigaro, no matter how weak."

"What ?! Bassdia, Vigalo will lose !?"

"It's obvious! I'll have decided to lose!"

"Vu, Vigaro, I'm sorry."

"Look at the reality, stupid sauce!"

Well, while Vandaluo was confused, the ghouls were talking seriously about what to do with the oak settlement. Naturally, it's life and death.

The ghouls are now sitting in the village plaza around the campfire in the village plaza and holding an emergency grand meeting to determine the policy of the village. And Vandalu was also at the meeting.

"Boy, can you tell me the number of enemies again?"

Ask him to reiterate what Zadiris heard from the spirit of Kobolt Sherman, as the state of the meeting was far from restless. By the way, the spirit who was the information provider himself collapsed the spirit as soon as he told Vandaluoo.

He used his experience as a mediator to communicate with other spirits after retiring to revenge on the Noble Orc who killed himself, and reached the settlement over a week. Did you want to take revenge on the Noble Orc who killed you, or was it influenced by Vandaloo's Enchanted Death Attribute skill at a distance?

I don't know which, but now that I've finished providing information, I'm drifting asleep around Vandaloo.

"The enemies are three hundred orcs, one hundred goblins, one hundred Kobolts, and dozens of treasure monsters tame, so there are about six hundred in total.

The head is Noble Oak, and his three children. There are also quite a few oak generals, oak nights, and oak mages.

Goblin and Kobold are all soldiers, chiefs, knights and mages. However, there is no general or king.

Later, the enemy stormed several other ghoul settlements and took over the female ghouls, making them their mothers, and recently they have also begun attacking adventurer parties. ''

The ghouls are frowning on the enemy's strength and its extreme behavior, and on the fact that their families are being attacked, even though the settlements are different.

Both normal and higher-class noble orcs are male-only races. Therefore, females of other races are used for breeding. Often they use goblins or Kobold females, or even livestock females stolen from villages. However, because it is a demon created by the Demon King and his relatives to harm humans, they prefer human women most in terms of taste.

Ghoul, which is treated as a monster by human society, is similar to a human woman except for the color of the skin and eyes. And since it has roots in the goddess Vida, it can be said that it is human from the point of view of the demon.

Ghoul women are unlikely to be pregnant unless Vandalou works on it, and there should be a low probability of one in five children being born safely, but it seems to work fine if the opponent is an opponent for some reason. ... I'm not happy at all.

(Is it because oak breeding is a special monoreproduction that looks like normal reproduction? If the oak sperm do not fertilize with the egg, but the oak gene takes over in a form that absorbs the maternal gene, It explains the reason why a child close to the mother's race is not born .... I wonder if there is a gene in this world in the first place.

(Well, which way to solve the problem of the falling birth rate of ghoul is unlikely to stand up.)

Ghoul and his colleagues listened to his words and discussed what to do calmly again.

Opinions at the meeting can be broadly divided into four.

"Well, oaks are aiming for human villages and towns, so if they don't matter, then they should be quiet."

, Is a static contemplation on what the orcs say.

It's bad for women ghouls who have already been attacked and taken away, and ghoul communities that are about to be attacked, but they say it is dangerous to lose their strength and fight.

Well, in the first place there is no obligation to help the ghouls of other settlements until they endanger themselves. It seems cold, but there is no point in helping others and destroying themselves.

But this is bad. The noble orc who bundles the orcs was waiting for Zadiris to die. It's natural to think that the reason he was waiting was that he was going to attack the settlement when Zadiris died.

A group of demons is basically a dictatorship where the head decides everything. The head of the village is paying attention to this village, so if you are quiet you will not be able to pass by.

A war between humans could be concluded with a non-aggression treaty, but monsters have no such concept.

And even if the Noble Oaks leave the settlement, there is. If the raids of the orcs consequently fail, a great number of adventurers will come to this mystery. Hunt the remnants of the Noble Orcs and thin them again to prevent the Orcs from forming a large corps.

The Milg Shield is at the forefront of the Orbaum election. The army will be strong and there will be many adventurers. So the chances of a Noble Oak failing are nearly 100%.

"How about running away while the orcs are rampaging? ...

There was a ghoul saying that, but he withdrew.

Of course, it is not realistic for hundreds of ghouls to escape. Although the jungle of the jungle is fairly large, it is difficult for hundreds of ghouls, including the gorgeous ghoul, to escape without being found by the orcs.

There are other ways to escape to the Makai and outside of the Makai, but ghouls who have lived in this Makai for generations are not bright in the outside geography.

Although Darussia and Sam know as such, it can only be said that it takes more than ten days to escape to the other magical territories on the side of the Milg Shield, and humans are more likely to escape from the magical territory.

And nobody knows what's on the mountain side. Just in case, today, Vandalu made an undead of insects and birds and released it to the mountain range, but it will take more than a month to find something.

"Well then, do you want to get down to the oak? I don't want to do that, so it's better to die."

As Bilde says, the option of descending into the oak and joining it is out of the question.

Men are used as slaves and combatants, like goblins and Kobolts, and are used up in battles against humans. The women are made oak mothers.

All that is waiting is the worst ending.

"Let's fight. Call out to the ghouls of other settlements."

As a result, Basdia's opinion is the most realistic. Make up for the slightest difference and attack before you get attacked.

Vandalou thought he wouldn't be busy for a while.

"Then I have to say before that."

Vigalo, the next president, said in a heavy tone, looking at Vandalu.

"Vandaloo, you should get out of this settlement soon."

"I don't like it.

"Wait wait wait! Do not change the story!"

He immediately refused to go out and Vigaro began to panic for some reason.

"If you keep this, you'll be fighting the orcs with us !? Is that good?"

"It's good, and it's a suggestion-"

"Isn't it good?-Without saying myself-"

"I won't go out"

"Don't interrupt my story!"

Vigaro, who had just interrupted human talks, was warned not to interrupt human talks. I can't understand. Or was it bad to say "it's good"? But if you say "it's good", it looks great ... shouldn't you just say "it's okay"?

Vigalo shouted at Mandarin's mane and shouted at Mandarin's head, leaning on his neck, as if the wording was the cause.

"This is the battle between us ghouls and the orcs! You don't matter!"

Vandalu stayed in this settlement for a long time, but it is not ghoul. He also said that one day he would leave the settlement and cross the mountains to the Orbaum election.

So there is no way we can share our fate with ourselves. I'm still a two-year-old child. You can't get involved in a battle that you don't know if you can win.

"I have a relationship, I'm your friend, companion, and family. By the way, could you hear my suggestion soon?"

But the two-year-old was self-paced.

She tries to change the story after saying something that is likely to come unexpectedly in a flat tone without shyness.

"What can you do in the first place!"

Vigaro shouted, saying that he was a family member and endured his cheeks becoming loose. In fact, if we were to separate the strong and weak sides in this world, Vandalu would be the weak side.

Certainly, the magic power is far beyond the common sense and is huge, and since it was born in Dampir, the physical ability slightly exceeds the adult at the age of two. Furthermore, in this world you can use the magic of death attribute that nobody knows.

But, conversely, that's all. He has no knowledge of martial arts, and his knowledge of tactical strategies in group battles is all personal. There can be no tactical eyes.

The enormous magic power, after all, is just magic. You can't kill monsters directly with their magic power, and they die if their vitality reaches zero, no matter how much magic power they have.

For magic that can make use of that magic, Vandaloo can use only death-type magic and non-elemental magic. Death attribute magic has poor direct attack power, and non-attribute magic is still poorly learned.

If the enemy is a magician, you can neutralize it with the technique of [Suction Barrier], but this time the enemy is an orc. There are few mages, and they are racially armed with strength and charge.

Vandaloo himself has been aware of this since Darussia was killed. But I realize at the same time that I can do anything.

"First, when I'm there, three Roton Beasts, one phantom bird, one skeleton soldier, and Sam, Saria, and Rita follow without fail."

"Muh !?"

Sam are all servants of Vandaloo. Of course, if Vandaloo joins the battle with the orcs, they will. It's not a small force because everyone is above rank 3.

"Later, when I talk to other ghoul settlements, I think it's convenient to be there."

He has claimed that the ghouls already know that the skill of Enchanting Death Attribute is effective, so there is no way to use it. This is exactly the case, so Vigalo can only moan.

"Keep it around, Vigaro, because you all know that the Lord thought about the boy."

"That's right, and Van is like our family and family."

"That's right! Vigaro, don't overdo it!"

"Yes, don't say that it doesn't matter if it's a lie!"

In addition, she was really isolated.

"Oh, you guys ... Oh, I don't know anymore! I'll be a stakeholder so that I can never say that I have nothing to do!"

"Now the next director is also official, boy.

So what is a proposal? "

Finally, Vandalu offered a proposal with a breath of relief.

"It's not a big deal, but I'm going to give everyone an armor and magic item I don't plan to use."

Looking at everyone's reaction, it seemed to be a big deal.

In this world, magic items also have grades.

From the bottom to the lower grade (it is sometimes called elementary because of the bad language), intermediate, advanced, special, legend, myth.

The lower class lives with swords that are less rusting than usual, skin armor that does not hurt the body even if you sleep while wearing, a timer that sounds an alarm after one hour, a magic stove equivalent to the earth stove, a magic street light, etc. There are more sober objects than those that are associated with the magic items on the earth, such as those that adhere to the earth.

Beginning to be a magic item from the intermediate level, this area is often owned by adventurers. The sales price and the difficulty of obtaining at a dash jump for more advanced users, and there are many items that are treated as national treasures if they are special grades.

Artifacts are legendary classes such as the Holy Sword that only the selected hero can equip. Cheat items that appear in myths are mythological items.

By the way, it is said that this grading is not determined by the pure function or the strength of the magic included, but by the labor, material cost, and rarity required for creation. So when mass production was difficult, the stove seems to have been an intermediate item.

"Yes, side by side."

And the dungeon magic items that Vandaloo is now giving out to the ghouls are classified as low to medium.

Initially, it was a magic item and only the size of the magic power contained was known, and even after learning [Appraisal] of non-attribute magic, there was no knowledge of Vandaloo himself, which is the basis of [Appraisal] I was deceased without knowing what item.

However, it was a large-scale action because it thought that it was necessary to increase the strength of the ghouls in order to achieve the difficult objective of capturing the large settlement of the orcs.

Needless to say, for free.

It is a big expense for Vandalu, but it is originally a dead stock and there is no cash means, and I got it from the undead in the dungeon and opened the treasure chest easily, so I thought that I got it too hard to get it Absent. So they were generously giving out.

"This is a low-grade agility boost, and this is a low-grade stamina recovery accessory. Both are restful, but they're definitely magic items."

"So, to Gudan and Ghibli"

Have Zadiris [approve] the items and distribute them one after another. It is usually sold in large towns of human society, and it is also a thousand amids, which are not cheap, but can't be bought. However, they are still valuable in this settlement, which is located at the Makai, and they will all be glad to receive it.

(It's fresh to give a present to someone.)

There are no friends or decent families on earth, and experimental animals on the origin. Vandaloo felt great because she had the opportunity to give someone a present for the first time in Lambda.

"I'll kill the oak with this!"

"Because of this bracelet, I'm going to add a lot of oak meat."

By the way, oak meat, unlike goblins and kobolts, seems to be eaten delicious without special cooking methods. The taste resembles a wild boar, so I'm really looking forward to it.

"The best battleaxes I got from Skeleton General are in Vigaro. Kiteshield is in Basdia."

Deliver the most valuable magic items you get in the dungeon, except for the armor and their weapons, the main body of Saria and Rita.

Vigaro, who received the Battle Ax, said “Thank you” and thanked him and said seriously.

"Vandaloo, you are a king"

"……Yes?"

"When we have a common enemy, we fight together with people from other settlements, when the King stands at the top and gives instructions.

Do it for you. ''

"……Yes?"

Vigallo explained what the role of King was, but I don't know why he would do it. Basdia rejoices to Vandalou, who listens in that sense.

"I'm glad you agree, Van"

"No, no, I didn't agree with" yes, "but just asked" yes? "

"But Van, everyone says Van is the best fit."

"Who is everyone?"

"Everyone except Van"

"What time !?"

Apparently, he was talking while distributing magic items.

"Congratulations, Bochan"

"It's a great career!"

"I'll do my best too"

It seems that Sam and his parents were also involved in the consultation. And there seems to be no objection.

Sam's white hazy spirit is thumbs up and thumbs up. Only for Sam. Rita and Salia also applauded.

"Wooh, Vandalu, become fine"

And Darusia, who was secretly awakening, was shedding tears of excitement. Do you feel like your mother is happy that your child has become the chairman of the classroom and the leading role in the arts festival?

"No, no, wait a minute. Everyone is good, but are the people of the other villages convinced? I'm a dumpyle. He's a different race. Is it OK with such a king?"

"Okay, no problem"

"Oh, race would have rebounded, but Dumpel would be fine."

"... Well, I think I'm probably fine."

The founder of Ghoul is believed to be the brother or sister of the vampire founder. Dumpels, which have half the blood of a vampire, are like relatives to them. In addition, the Amid Empire and its dependencies define it as a demon.

In addition, there is a skill of [Enchanting Death Attribute]. Vandaloo himself can predict that the ghouls of other settlements will not have such a strong rebound.

"And the boy is qualified to be a king, both talented and accomplished."

Zadiris, who had previously been consulted by Vandaloo saying, "I remembered this skill if I noticed," knew that he had mastered the skills of [reinforcement of kin].

"Boy, as I said before, the skill of [Reinforcement of Kin] is literally a skill that enhances the stats of one's own. It doesn't mean that the ghouls who follow them at the top will be strengthened.

In the first place, that skill is like a King only. ''

[Reinforcement] is a skill that a monster named King must have. Because of that skill, the king of monsters reigned by King is stronger and more numerous than normal monsters.

Zadiris did not know, but it was said that the goblins of the goblin king flock, who once learned [Reinforcement of Kin] at 10 levels, crossed each other with the equipment of a fully armed knight, a wooden club and a fur waistband I have.

The appearance of the king in the adventurer's guild is the reason why it is treated as a disaster.

"And the boys are trying to solve the weakness that we can hardly increase. We are trying to open up the future of ghoul and bring prosperity, and we have already achieved some success.

What is it without saying that this is an achievement worthy of a leader? "

Zadiris's words seemed somewhat exaggerated to Vandalu, but the fact that it was difficult to have children was a problem for the entire Ghoul race, and the inability to increase the number was a heavy shackle of power expansion.

The ghouls of other settlements will gladly gather under Vandalu if they know there is a way to solve it.

I told Vandaro that I would deal with the problem of declining birthrate and that Vigalo would do it. As declared, Vandaloo is now a stakeholder, but somewhat unpopular.

"I see, it's a king."

Thus, before becoming an adventurer, Vandalu became a Ghoul King.

Vandaloo has won two names of [Ghoul King]!

<< [Reinforcement of Kin] has been raised!

King's first job was fitting armor.

"Gudan, is there anything tight or difficult to move?"

"Elbow and neck are hard to move, rear helmet is tight."

The ghoul man has long arms so that his fist can reach the ground, even when standing upright with the lion's head. Because they are so different from humans, the armor for humans distributed by Vandaloo cannot be used as it is.

Adjusting the armor for a ghoul would normally require a skilled craftsman and time.

"Well, get up."

But Vandaloo figured out a way that didn't need the two.

First, ghouls wear armor, and the armor is used as it is as living armor ... more precisely, a golem in the shape of armor.

"Because it changes shape, try moving your arms and neck."

Slowly change the shape of the armor with the skill and [Golem training] skill. Then, not enough, metal armor for humans becomes metal armor for ghouls.

It looks clunky because there is no decoration, but the function is enough. There are some parts whose arms are longer than human beings, but they are filled with parts made by tanning the skin of a demon.

"Oh, it feels better! Thank you King!"

"Hello, next person ~"

It's not a king job at all, but armor craftsmen in the ghoul settlement usually can't adjust metal armor because they only deal with monster skins, bones and horns. That's why Vandaloo has to do it.

King-like job ... It will be tomorrow afterwards to visit other settlements of Ghoul and ask for their cooperation. Originally, the hunting ground is not overlapped with other settlements, so there is a distance, and if there is no common enemy, it is a rival, so even in Zadiris, you do not know the exact location and number.

It is also trying to find a place by collecting information on insect undead and spirit opponents released by Vandaloo.

It may seem surprisingly long, but there is plenty of time since the big villages of Noble Oak begin to move in earnest as early as spring comes, and late as summer.

Of course, we want to help the captive female ghouls as soon as possible, but there is no point in rushing and losing.

By the way, Ghoul doesn't think he has to help a captive female adventurer. Because you are basically a hostile partner. Basdia and Bilde seem to be sympathetic for the woman, but do not seem to take any risk for that.

And Vandaloo had no intention at all. For him, adventurers in the Milg Shield are enemies. I went to help and thought that there could be something like "Thank you, thank you!"

(Well, if you see how you're being teased, or if you know you're caught, you'd probably want to help)

Vandalu was aware of her trauma a bit when she saw the sight of a woman being hurt and seemed to be more likely to have blood on her head in association with Darussia.

(For the time being, do what you can do quickly and help if you live when you win)

If you forsake the adventurer you're trapped in, and you're likely to say something with the cheats that will reincarnate in the future, I'll eventually help you.

(Oh, why should I talk to the Zadiris? My situation. Yeah, let's talk when this matter is resolved. Zadiris, Vigaro, Basdia ... these three people. I will give back to the official concerned )

The next candidate for fitting came before Vandaloo, who was thinking about things that would be reminiscent or subtle.

It was Basdia.

"Basdia? Is it somewhere tight?"

He was asked to call him because he was king, so he asked him and asked Basdia, "Oh!"

The Ghoul woman, unlike a man, didn't need to adjust her armor because she didn't change in shape with a human.

"A little ... no, it's pretty hard."

"... Speaking of which, most armor was male."

In the end, I knew that I needed to fit as many armor pieces as I had given out.
