The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 29: Black Ghoul King and One-armed Sword King

While Vandaluu was heading to Nuaza and the Royal Castle for the Scouts of Volks, key members other than Sam, who knew him well, including Zadiris and Vigalo, were gathered in a room with a building in Tarosheim.

"Everyone seems to have gathered except Sam who can't leave the carriage."

"So Zadiris, what are you going to do with us?"

"Actually, you shouldn't be called"

Talea, who is hiding her mouth elegantly with a fan cut from her ent, laughs a little at the eyes of Basdia, half-eyed.

"Because it is a strategy meeting to comfort Van-sama, it can not be overlooked."

"Mm, I don't remember saying that, but where did you hear it from?

Zadiris was supposed to discuss it only with those who knew about the situation of Vandaloo ... before life, God and one hundred incarnates, but Talea also quite cares about Vandaloo, We thought that there would be no problem if we were careful about remarks and decided to start the meeting as it was.

"Well, we got together today to know that we need to rest the boy and to cooperate to rest the boy."

Zadiris talked about the agenda, but it was confusing that it spread first.

"Are you going to rest? Weifang is sleeping well every day

"Yeah, always sleep well"

Thalia and Rita, who are on behalf of Sam, say so. In fact, Vandaloo sleeps well, as they say. I'm not overturned and I'm very calm.

It wasn't twice or three times that I inadvertently took a pulse to see if I was dead.

"That's right, Zadiris. I haven't seen him tired, and if he's tired he's going to take a break from himself."

"That's right. It looks the same when making sauce and preserved food."

As Vigaro and Basdia say, Vandalu has no tired gestures and no facial expressions. I don't even say "I'm tired" or "I want to rest" in the first place.

I often sigh, but it's more about the reality that doesn't stay than tired, and because I just exhale quietly in the first place, it's more difficult for anyone to notice that I sighed. Many.

"And everybody takes care of Vandaloo. Sure, she's a hard worker, but I don't think I'm going to force me. "

Darussia, who had been awake at this time, also participated in the meeting by asking Thalia to translate.

Zardiris shook his head, groaning a little bit, to Darussia's trust through the interpreter.

"I can't betray that trust, but we're pushing the boy.

Last time, I rubbed the boy's shoulder halfway, but it was hard. Besides, I didn't hate it and said, "I'm paradise," and went to sleep. "

"If you think about what you say, are you proud of being good at squeezing your shoulders? Anyone who is squeezing their shoulders will be involuntarily relaxed."

"The elderly think five seconds before opening their mouths. Remember, the boy is almost three years old."

So Zadiris said everyone was surprised.

Toddlers who feel comfortable rubbing their shoulders, that is, stiff shoulders. ...... Normally, the child of that year doesn't have a hard shoulder.

"And remember, how much does the boy do during the day. By the way, he doesn't stop training alchemy for at least four hours a day."

4 hours a day of training to grind the materials with a mortar and mortar, mix, knead and add magical power.

"... I'm making cookies with walnut and herbal sauces, acorns and other nuts. I'm worried that there is no substitute for the salt.

I was trying to make a stone mortar or mortar type golem without much time and effort ... "

Working while chatting, a reasonable time.

"We took care of us while we were on the move, and watch out for the surroundings with Remulus and the insect undead, and above all, build and return.

Now they make timber from wood and heal broken parts of buildings.

"I also practice non-elemental magic until late at night. [Nenshin] doing detailed work and also practicing magic control skills. "

"Eh! ? Weibo wakes up early in the morning and trains in Death attribute magic!

"So, when is Vandalu sleeping? ?

"That's why the boy has the [condition resistance] skill, so he will be able to withstand overwork and lack of sleep. It seems he has even [breakthrough]."

As Zadiris puts it, a child's body can withstand overwork as long as he has the skills he has. The lighter your awareness that you are overdoing it.

Even though I am tired of my resistance skills, I can move as usual, so I think "I am still fine". Because of that, since I was born, there is no adverse effect on my growth, so my usual sleep can be tolerated if I want to withstand drowsiness, so it gradually becomes shorter, saying "sleeping this much is enough" .

However, resistance skills can only be tolerated and do not mean they will not be tired or will recover quickly. So, in fact, fatigue is accumulating.

"And ... I remember that now, Van rarely expresses his emotions in his facial expressions. Although he can understand to some extent his tone, his gestures and his mood ..."

And almost no accumulated fatigue appears on the face, as Basdia says. And her complexion is always too white.

It's not whitening or that kind of condition. It's almost white, like painted , so it's always pale. Therefore, it is not possible to detect the health condition from the complexion.

And Darussia and Sam, Thalia and Rita did not even notice the overwork of Vandalu. Because they are undead without flesh and do not feel tired.

Rabbits are mentally exhausted, and physical fatigue is undead, and Sarria, who has not been three years old, can no longer remember that feeling.

In addition, Darussia spends more than half of the day sleeping in remains. If you can't figure out when and how long Vandalu is resting, you can't help.

"Well, why wouldn't Vandaloo try to rest on her own? Surely he couldn't afford to rest during his journey, but for the last few days.

And even if he couldn't afford the middle of his journey, he was able to take a day off. ''

As Vigalo groans, Vandalu could rest if he wanted to. Just say to everyone, "I'm tired today and want to rest."

Because he is now truly King of Ghoul and at the top of the community.

Everyone now recognizes Vandaloo as a Ghoul King, as well as the main ghouls such as Vigaro, Zadiris, Tarea and Basdia.

A journey across the mountains can not proceed unless Vandaloo makes a way, but if you choose a place where monsters do not relatively attack, you can rest for about a day and there will be no complaints from anyone Would. In the first place, it is impossible for ghouls to cross the mountains without Vandaloo.

No, most of the women who were still trapped in Bugugan without Vandaloo, and those who would have been destroyed by raids this time. There is no reason to complain.

But there is no word from Vandalu's mouth that he wants to take a break.

"Yes, why?"

The point was beyond the understanding of the Zadiris. That's because they are originally a lazy race. Even though they say, "Don't rest, keep training, work", you rarely say, "Take a break, take a break."

The ghouls take a rest even if they are not told, and tell themselves when they are tired. That is also evidence that ghoul is a mid-monster.

"Well, I've been taking a nap for a while since my dad became a carriage ..."

"I guess it's because of my resistance skills. A tribe who has inherent resistance skills may have told someone that it would jeopardize the common sense of conditions that would limit their resistance skills ... "

Darussia speculated after contemplation.

Darussia, a dark elf, had a natural [magic resistance] skill. It is less susceptible to damage received from attack magic and state abnormalities derived from magic, and it becomes easier to heal even if it does.

For that reason, overconfidence of his [magic resistance] causes severe burns, and conversely, if he fights against other races and captures enemies alive, he will release a technique that says, "If this level of magic is a direct hit, it will not die." It seemed that there were not many cases where the goal became a piece of meat.

Therefore, all dark elves will be taught in their children about [Resistance Skills], including how much they will be affected if they have no skills.

But Vandaloo has not been taught that. Therefore, there is a high possibility that people are misunderstanding that they are just tired because they have [condition anomaly tolerance] as "I'm not tired unexpectedly".

"So I don't want to rest from myself.

And maybe they think it's an emergency or an emergency now. Since I died, there were so many things ... "

She was desperate to survive after her mother was killed, and then tried to take revenge. As a result, he had to act with the ghouls, but when he first met the Zadiris, he planned to travel from the Makai once he had acquired the desired skills.

Then he crosses the mountains to capture Noble Oak and emigrate. Certainly a series of emergencies.

In some tasks, Vandaloo may not have worked directly by moving his body, so his impression of "working" may be faint.

However, everyone at this place knows that using magical powers can actually cause fatigue.

"I understand that Van is tired. Let's just say we want you to take a break, and let us know."

The recognition that Vandaloo needed rest was well shared. But isn't that a very easy way? Talea said, Zadiris's head was swung not vertically.

"I have already said that.

But you listen very much. "

As Zadiris suggests to take a break, Vandaloo said, "I can still do it," but he stops training alchemy there.

However, if you are practicing death attribute magic while lying down, or if you are taking a walk for distraction, repairing the broken building of Talosheim even though you do not need it, you will proceed from yourself It is running without thinking.

There are hardly any breaks, as she teaches studying if she plays with Black Goblin or Anubis children, or she takes care of the life dead.

We have done some strange experiments to see if we can manage to strengthen the bones who are not ranked up after reaching level 100 among the undead.

"Speaking of which, I was told by Van that I would like to teach martial arts when I was three years old. There are legends that I can become a master if I learn from three times."

"What !? Why do you tell Basdia, not me !?"

"Because the arms are obviously too different to remember Vigaro-san's skill? Vigaro-san told me that ghoul martial arts are completely different for men and women. '

"Vigaro, stay quiet, Basdia, if you teach, say good things and rest the boy.

That's why everyone has to come up with a plan to get the boy off. I struggled with how I trained young people, and I have to narrow my wisdom to take a break. ''

And while the band went to the castle, the Zadiris discussed how to rest the band.

Vandaloo, guided by Nuaza, dived a little bit through the collapsed gate of the Royal Castle.

"... The height of the stairs is not kind to infants."

Giant racial buildings, averaging two meters and seventy centimeters for men and two and fifty centimeters for women, weren't always friendly to Vandaloo.

Just climbing the stairs makes it a bit athletic.

"I'm sorry, the stairs for other races are buried in rubble as you can see."

In that case, Nuaza may lift Vandaloo with only bones and skin. Rich: To be precise, even now that he has become Lesser Rich, he seems to have not lost his [Strength] skills that he had had in his [Strength building] skills.

"I didn't use it until now, so I've put it off later, but it's better to fix Ojo as soon as possible."

When the Dalcias ask, they say, "Stop!" But they say that they would have stopped, but Nuaza said, "I'll be at any time if I can meet your child's convenience."

"I'd be happy if you could fix it, but it's a castle without military officers and civilians. And it won't collapse for the next few hundred years."

For the undead of the Nuazs and Tarosheim, the Royal Castle was perceived as a giant gravepost of their homeland. I'd be grateful for a fix, but that doesn't seem to be the thing I want to get into Bandarou's schedule.

Two hundred years after the fierce battle, the castle is still devastated and slightly collapsed, but the castle, made of dungeon stone, still stands. As Nuaz says, castles will still be there hundreds of years from now. There was a presence that made me think so.

"... I understand. I'll do it if I can afford it.

So, Volks? "

"You should be in front of the door leading into the audience, where there are hidden stairs leading down to the basement. He has not moved one step from there for 200 years."

Before going to the scout, I heard from the giant undead, including Nuaza, what kind of person [Volume] was.

He is said to be the only undead hero of Talosheim's heroes and the strongest of the current giant undead.

The personality is-.

"I'm a strong humane, cheerful, cheerful. A woman's charm was breast size, and a man's charm was muscle.

This is from Nuaza, who seems to be intelligent among the giants.

A story from another information provider is-.

"Vulture!

"Strong! Awesome! Strong!

"My wife's bitches and daughter's pride are long. Uzee, wow, wow, wow!

Conclusion, good personish.

"I'm not confident in my muscles, but wouldn't I say" I'm coming yesterday "?"

"It wouldn't be there. I would say only bones and skins."

"That's right."

He walked through the castle, where cracked walls, broken pieces of relief and broken pillar pieces rolled, and soon reached the audience.

[Sword King] Volks was there to replace the remnants of the door, which would have had both solidness and luxury at the time.

Among the giants, their large bodies, measuring 3 meters, are armored with muscles that exaggerate the bloody fainting skin from the inside, and they are still undead and still emit a strong sign.

[Hyojin Spear] loses his right arm in a fierce battle with Michael, and his huge two-handed sword is broken in the middle, but Volks has not lost his strength.

Yes, Vandalou was convinced without even using [Appraisal]. This is because [Danger Detection: Death], which is always activated, sounds a warning to him, "Do not offend him."

"Is it a temple monk? What's that strange kid?

[Sword King] Volks, whose right half of his head is only a bone, glared at Vandaloo with a bleak look. His voice was very vigilant, and it turned out that he resisted the effects of the Enchanted Death attribute skill.

"This is [Goul King] Vandalu, the son of the oracle."

"what? What is it? Is it a ghoul mutant, not a dumpey? A woman and a kid are king, this strange atmosphere is good, it is not just a person

"No, it's not ghoul, it's dumpy, and he's a man."

"Sokai"

He hurriedly corrected the misunderstanding, but Volks said he wasn't very interested in telling Vandaloo, "I'm not just a person."

"I don't wonder what you came to such a place, but I'm not interested in what you're doing ... I'm going to live and take the shit from the shield country and take it for granted."

Volks overlooking Vandalu with a sword and a broken sword on his left shoulder. It may seem relaxed, but if anything, it will swing the sword down in an instant.

From his attitude, it doesn't seem to be influenced by [Death attribute fascination]. On the contrary, he seems to be only driving his vigilance.

"I didn't think it was so effective"

Vandaloo didn't think that Enchanted Death would work for all undead. He naturally considered the possibility of resistance.

However, I had no idea what to do in that case.

Even if you can't be fascinated by becoming an enemy, just think about how to defeat it.

If you want the strength, you can think of other ways.

But what if you declare non-interference and refuse cooperation?

(I guess you have to negotiate normally)

Well, we get there.

"Mr. Volks. I want you to cooperate."

"I refuse bad. There's something to do here. "

Sinking. Apparently the scout negotiations failed.

No, not yet. It is early to give up.

"Mr. Volks, I can use the magic of death attribute magic that never existed in this world. It might be able to fulfill your wishes."

In negotiations, instead of presenting what the other person wants and offering it, they have their wishes fulfilled. To that end, Vandalou thought to first hear Volks' wishes.

Is it revenge on the Milg Shield? Or body repair? Or do you want to know what happened to your daughter who escaped to the election of Orbaum?

"... can you do such a thing like you?

"At least we can do some things we couldn't do before in this world."

When asked by Volks, Vandalu was able to answer with a heart. It's not a matter of self-confidence, but because you can use magic that didn't exist before, you know you can do things you couldn't do before.

Even the elementary Death attribute magic [Sterilization] and [Insecticide] seem to be difficult to reproduce with other attribute magic.

When Volks hears the answer, he looks down at the face with only one eyeball and thinks for a moment. He said without raising his face.

"But can't you imitate the curse of a legendary magic item?

Some legendary magic items bring curses to targets and users that even the best magicians can't solve. Only the same legendary magic item, hero, or gods, or the equivalent, can break such a curse.

Although it is a child, it is impossible to do. Nuaza turns to Vandalu with a dexterous look on the mummy's face.

"Is it a curse? I can. I haven't used magic today yet."

"Is it possible! ?

"Is that stupid !?"

He replied that he could do so easily, and denied Nuaz with Volks.

"It's a curse, and it's a legendary magic item!" ? It's so powerful that you can't purify any amount of gold coins in the temple! ?

"That's right! I'm a high priest and temple chief who can't reach my feet, even the [Saint] Gina is a thing that can't be purified !?

It's Volks and Nuaza, who say so, but it's no wonder they're saying what they can't do.

"Yes, I used to do a lot ... I think I could do it because I was doing it because it's a curse?"

However, from the perspective of Vandalu, it is not obvious why the two are upset because the curse can be canceled and taken for granted.

Well, I guess from their attitude, "I'm sure this lambda won't be able to break the curse easily."

"It's a curse, a condition that's a magical anomaly. Depending on the object, grudges and hatred are at the core, but in the end it has a specific effect ... to cause a disease that never cures, Magical power is needed to block actions and cause such abnormalities. ''

Basically, magic is essential for a curse to have a specific effect.

For example, if you want to curse a hated opponent and get sick, simply sending a shredded doll is just a mental attack. If your opponent is nervous or scared, you will have no effect.

For a curse to be effective, not just magic, it requires magic. It is necessary to perform rituals, cast spells, sacrifice, etc. to add magical power. A jewel that brings misfortune to its owner is just a jewel without magic.

This is the definition of curse in a different world origin where science and magic exist.

"And my death magic can absorb and extinguish energy, including magic. So, if you extinguish the magic that forms a curse, the curse can be solved."

Speaking of what the researchers had heard at the time.

The curse seemed to be difficult even for the origin at the time, and Vandaloo remembered that the researchers were excited when the experiment was successful.

Well, even if the research results came out, treatment did not improve, and hope did not come true, so I released the curse .... How great it can be erased, Vandalou has been I never thought about it.

"In other words, can you break the curse of a legendary magic item?

"Yes, it must be a special curse."

Despite this, Vandalou was leaning inwardly. Because there was no sign that Volks was cursed. ... except that it's undead.

"……Do you get it. If you get him back, I'll do whatever you want, your subordinates and your men.

I don't even know if it makes any sense, but I'll swear in the name of [Ken-O]

"Hey?"

"Ah. I'm still trapped in the curse of that damn ice spear ... Release Gina and Miss Zandia.

ask"

Volks' head, far above Vandalu, descended below Vandalu.

He answered, "Okay," to his hairless brain.

Monster Explanation: Life Dead

A special undead in which a fresh corpse immediately before stiffness is artificially given life force from the outside with life attribute magic, and the soulless body resumes life activities such as beating and breathing.

Because it is a corpse and has no soul, the life dead does not have the least instinct to attack the living like a zombie. He has lost all his skills, except for what his native race has. (Thus, there are a few scholars who claim that skills depend on the soul, not the body.)

It's easy to kill, and if you hurt like a normal human, you die.

The basic rank is 0, and if it is the same, the threat level is far from slime or goblin. Also, due to its nature, it does not occur naturally in magical areas or dungeons. All life deads are only artificially created by magicians.

The reason why a sorcerer makes such an undead that is just a living activity is that it is perfect to use it as a familiar and act on behalf of the caster because there is no soul.

In that case, the Life Dead becomes a nuisance enemy that exerts its physical abilities beyond its limits.

In addition, in the past, when a king of a country suddenly died suddenly, he said that he did not die as a life dead but just lay down on the floor due to serious illness, Rumors have been told that his head had died when he was young and had no heir to death yet to create a successor.

In addition, it is impossible (including bloodless death) in a corpse that has died due to impaired life activity, so it can only be made from a corpse that died due to illness or sudden death except for a part.

In addition, monsters whose magic remains in the corpse, or corpses of the new races of Vida that were born when the goddess intersects the monsters (vampires, dampirs, ghouls, etc.) cannot be dead.
