The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 38: Dungeon Boss Not Enough

The seventh floor of the basement of the Valley of Garan.

This is why the giants grew to over 5,000 people and flourished before building a city state.

"Is rock salt! Dig rock salt!"

"I don't want any monsters to get in the way! ?

"Good search!"

Yes, good quality rock salt can be obtained from the quay of this level.

Salt is an important material and a necessity. Tarosheim relied on this dungeon for its salt supply.

In this land, surrounded by mountains with many magical areas, there is no trade with other nations until a tunnel leading to the election of Orbaum is found, and you have to cross several magical areas to go to the sea again .

As a result, salt was available only on the seventh basement floor of the Garan valley.

If the dungeon couldn't find the dungeon, there would be no Tarosheim and hundreds of giants here.

Of course, as long as it is inside the dungeon, demons will appear. In addition, the demons of rank 3 and 4 will appear from the 7th basement floor, so the danger is higher than the 6th basement floor.

Rock monkey, a monkey with a rocky skin.

Kobold Mage who uses magic and Kobold General who masters martial arts.

A huge stone golem larger than the giant.

All of these are monsters that can only be played by mid-level or higher adventurers.

The means that the giants took to take rock salt in such dangerous places was for workers to gain the combat abilities of a midsize adventurer.

"Let's get in the way of mining!

It's amazing how the workers in the armor and the armor, using the Pickel, fight viciously against the monsters. It was about to go.

It has not changed even now when it is undead.

"Uoooooo! miso! Miso soup!

"I'm a gyo show!

"I'll make the disturbing monster grilled in miso!

No, isn't it more ferocious than before?

Undead do not eat. That is a mistake.

Certainly the lower skeletons and ghosts do not have an appetite or taste. However, zombies and some undead are appetizing and taste good.

Of course, there is no need to eat for undead who have stopped living. Even if you refuse to eat on a yearly basis, it will continue to work without any problems.

However, they cannot completely escape from the framework of the original creature. A primitive desire remains.

Of the three greatest desires, the desire to sleep disappears. Because the undead do not feel tired, they do not have a desire to sleep. If you want to sleep, you can be in a close state, but it is done for the purpose of restoring mental fatigue and satisfaction, not physical things.

The libido remains subtle. Since the body is dead, there is no desire to leave offspring, but there are times when the act is taken as a means to breathe the vitality of a living person or to die when he has a strong attachment to sexual intercourse.

And what remains completely is appetite.

That drives the undead as a desire left in the soul, the zombies eat the flesh of the living, slurp the blood, and absorb the magical power contained therein to gain experience.

Skeleton and spiritual undead, when ranked as high undead, create a temporary body with [spirit] skills, eat the victim's blood, or more directly eat the vitality itself.

Tarosheim's giant undead was no exception, and he ate food at will. It was mostly the blood of a monster that came into town, sometimes from pieces of grass, bark and stones growing around it.

However, after the arrival of the Bandaruru, they began to eat tasty foods, such as skewers, steamed wrapped in leaves, walnuts and basil sauce.

And recently, those who shocked them were "Fish sauce", "Walnut miso", and "Dan chestnut miso" made by Vandaloo.

These are seasonings that the hero Zakart tried to reproduce and failed, something that has never existed in Lambda. They shocked their tongue with a culture shock, fascinating those who had tasted.

"Miso miso miso soooooooooooooo!

"Gyosho Ohoooooooo!

"Head is good! I can see the illusion! Miso, give me the miso!

...... It might just be addiction.

"Van, is that seasoning addictive?"

"No ... what should I do?"

Vandaloo replied while pulling his eyes to the giant undead, who drove their eyes and mined rocks with frenzy, but he seemed to be confident enough to understand even with no expression.

"I think it was made with the same recipe as the Earth, but I've never heard of the origins of fermented foods made with death attribute magic ...

Or maybe the walnuts and acorns used contain ingredients that I don't know about, which could have caused strange effects ... "

"Dad was also happy that it was delicious, isn't it just very delicious?

Saria's level of [spirit] skills has recently risen, and she has come to understand the taste.

"I'm Zulu, only my father"

Rita who are so dissatisfied are actually living armor with no mouth. You can't eat or taste yet.

"Okay? Well, Barridge, who said that his head hurts, seems to have often seen hallucinations before, maybe."

"Van, I'm not very relieved. Is Bridge OK?"

"Well? I guess my hands will start to shake when my spirits run out before my birth.

"I can drink even if I drink"

"Oh, be careful not to drink too much."

That being said, he passed by a giant undead who digs for salt mining, and on that day he was encamped on the seventh basement floor.

The capture that seems to be a dungeon capture for Vandaloo started on the eighth basement floor.

Because there are no trainers or giant undead mining stones or rocks from this level, they encounter monsters as usual.

And basically, in the valley of Garan, which has a simple structure, it is impossible for everyone to form a party with scouts like thieves or to hide from demons unless you use genjutsu.

"Bochan! If you think of a monkey like a rock, it's just a stone golem!

"It's hard, isn't it going to work with Golem training?"

"No, I can't control anything other than the golem I created, so let the bone monkeys dig down."

"Ooooooooo!

From this hierarchy, a plurality of rank 3 demons appear at once. There is a difference between a golem that simply has a large number and no cooperation, and a group of Kobold Knights and Kobold Archers that show excellent cooperation, but it is certainly more difficult than the seventh basement floor. It is.

"Wow!

Even if a bone golem is beaten by a bone monkey just now, if an ordinary adventurer is opponent, it will be difficult as such. If you are a D-class adventurer, you may think you should use martial arts, but martial arts use magic to use them.

Many avant-garde adventurers don't have so much magic.

In that regard, the Vandaloos are trying to capture this valley of Galant with an overpowered force. Everyone except Vandaloo ranks 4 or higher. In addition, when it comes to life, Vandaloo pushes and pushes with enormous magic.

In fact, you can't help but struggle.

"Wow ... it feels good to get experience for the first time in about two years."

Well, if you're working hard to earn experience, you don't have enough lives, so this is just right.

"Ju, Lord, how high is your level?

"Hmm ... I haven't reached it yet."

However, the amount of experience gained is only reasonable.

He is currently working for the Death Magician job, but this job seems strangely difficult to level up, and has yet to reach ten.

"What about Basdia?"

"I changed jobs from [apprentice warrior] to [warrior] before diving into this dungeon, but it is 14 now."

"Well, back to Tarosheim, let's ask the Volks."

Volks probably knows how much experience is needed to increase levels from job to job. He is a man who has been praised as [Sword King] and has become an A-class adventurer.

He has lost his job now because he has been undead, but he must have had multiple jobs since he started his apprenticeship.

It's a story two hundred years ago, and it's possible that your memory is lost.

"The stats are going up little by little, so let's go without hurry."

"How much was up?

"The stats are about 1 to 10 each. The magic power is about 2%."

"I see, the destination is long."

"... Did it just increase by 2 million if it were limited to magical power?

Vandaloo fights with the monsters that come out afterwards, trying not to stab himself. The curse of [I can't get experience points] is really troublesome.

By the way, you can get this curse, about 10% of the experience value gained by your friends and subordinates, but the conditions have been roughly understood.

Basically, it seems that a friend or subordinate must gain experience within the view of Vandalu. However, with the bone bird's sight, even if a boner in a remote place defeats a monster, no experience is gained in Vandaloo.

Apparently, the condition was not fulfilled without his own eyes. Lambda doesn't have binoculars or telescopes, but when you look at it, is it still judged to be invisible? What happens if you wear glasses for correcting vision?

There seems to be a magic item called hyperopic glasses, so let's try it if you get it.

In any case, verification is essential, as the eyes may be the lifeline of Vandalu.

... I don't know how to make binoculars or telescopes, so I can't try this.

"Ah, but if you make a golem out of glass, can you make it as much as a lens? If it's low magnification, maybe ..."

"Van! The thoughts are dangerous while fighting!"

"Okay, it's over now"

"Ugage !?"

Occasionally [martial arts] finally reach the tenth basement floor while trying to stop himself to improve his skills. This is where the bottom of the Garan valley was.

"Goooooooooooo!"

It is a rock gorilla that is bigger than the giant race that exposes its fangs and raises its roar. He beats the thick chest with his fist and fist, drumming and threatening.

The rank is 4, but it's the top demons among them. Although it has no special abilities, it is as hard as it looks, it's as powerful as it looks, and it's smarter than it looks and you can use some earth-based magic.

However--

"Is it still weak for a large D-class dungeon boss?"

"That's right. Probably a middle boss."

If they understand that Vandaloo and Basdia are insulting themselves, the rock gorilla barks short and approaches them with a quicker quadruped than it looks.

"Wow!

The bone monkey was standing in between. The bone monkey and the rock monkey were paired together.

"Wow!

The bones of Misishimishi and the bone monkey creak. Rock gorillas with flesh and husks are more advantageous in power games than bone monkeys with only bones and a few ghosts, even if pure strength is equal.

"Ghufu"

Confident of the victory, Rock Gorilla laughs with a strange human-like mockery.

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

From the front, the mockery poured a breath of poisoned bone monkeys.

"Woogy !?"

The poison is smashed into the eyes and nose, which are not covered by the outer shell of the rock, and the rock gorilla reluctantly moves away from the bone monkey and holds his face down.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Guruoooooo!

"Tee ah ah!

After that, it was a unilateral development. Rock gorillas are certainly the top demons in Rank 4. However, on the contrary, it has only enough power to reach rank 5.

Nevertheless, the opponent is eight demons of rank 4. Basdia didn't give up, but it wasn't a battle but a lynch.

If a rock gorilla did not come in from the beginning and kept a distance, and fighting mainly with earth attribute magic, a good fight would have been possible. However, due to the dungeon's increased violence, it had to be a warlike situation.

After defeating, remove poison [disinfection] and remove magic stones, take meat that has a strong habit but become a good soup when boiled with herbs, [disinfect] [kill insects] internal organs, and have lunch today Material.

If you use the rear shell as a catalyst for your armor, it will increase your defense against soil magic, so bring it with you.

The collected materials are subjected to [Keep Freshness] and then moved to a fresh golem by themselves. This kept the vandaloos light in dangerous dungeons.

The effort to escort the fresh golem, which is a mass of material, so that the demon does not eat it will increase, but this is not a problem because of the large number of people.

"Well, let's go down."

The valley of Galant was originally a shallow dungeon of class D up to the tenth basement floor. However, because it had been left undisturbed for two hundred years, the hierarchy had increased by three floors.

What happens is the middle boss.

In a dungeon with more than 11 levels, a middle boss other than the boss is generated. Appears at roughly every 10th level and has the property of being a middle boss, which is stronger than a normal demon but not as good as a boss.

For example, in a dungeon with a total of 27 layers, a middle boss appears at 10 layers and 20 layers, and a boss appears at 27 layers.

Even if the adventurer party capturing an uncaptured dungeon fights against a strong enemy saying "This must be the boss of this dungeon", it is not the treasure house but the stairs down, and that strong enemy is the middle boss That is a common story.

"I heard from the Volks, but it seems that the difficulty will go up one step after defeating the middle boss. Everyone will be careful."

"Wow!

Reinstated, the Vandaloos descended to the eleventh basement floor.

At the eleventh floor and below, the demons of rank 4 are now attracting the demons of rank 3.

A group of Kobold Knights led by Kobold Mage and a rock monkey that follows a rock gorilla are all monsters that can cooperate and fight with each other.

In addition, on the 13th floor underground, multiple demons of rank 4 can appear at once. At this point, Vandaloo and others were a little confused.

When a herd of hellhounds that breathe a flame while maintaining a certain distance comes out, Vandalou fires several [magic bullets] in preparation for wasting some experience value and material, and what I dealt with my head or meat chunks.

When multiple rock golems appeared, they all used their martial arts generously and then recovered their magical power by receiving a transfer of magical powers from Vandaloo.

In addition, occasional traps were set up from underground ten layers, and rocks fell when they were caught, but this was vandalous crushed without reserve by magic. It is not an experience anyway.

The treasure chest, which now appears like a dungeon, has a good harvest.

"While the dungeon is close to Talosheim, is the weapon coming out of the treasure chest racial-sized?"

The handle of the steel sword is clearly a race-sized broadsword, not a giant shortsword.

This is a dungeon in a land that was inhabited only by giants from 100,000 years ago. Why are racial weapons in treasure chests? I was wondering that Basdia, who had already dived into the dungeon several times, told me.

"I've never dived so far, but I've heard this isn't unusual."

Adventurers' rules of thumb have revealed that the contents of the treasure chest that appears in the dungeon will change depending on who opens it and his allies.

Naturally, dungeons don't understand what adventurers want, and don't have them ready. In most cases, the size and specifications of the items that appear will simply change.

For example, if you have a giant-only party, you will find weapons and armor for giants. Conversely, if the party is only a dwarf that is only as tall as a race chest, you will find weapons that are sized for the dwarf.

It is unlikely that giant armor will emerge from a treasure chest opened by a dwarf-only party or vice versa.

The theory is that the evil god who created the dungeon adjusts it to stimulate the adventurer's greed, and the genie Recruit, who enabled humans to treat the dungeon as a training ground, motivated humans There is a theory that they are trying to avoid scraping.

"... Sure, if you only get treasures that are irrelevant and have no needs, nobody will want and you will not be motivated.

Well, it's convenient, so whichever theory is fine. ''

Recognizing the same sentiment that many adventurers have in the controversies between scholars, Vandaloo gave the steel sword to the fresh golem.

What arrived in the boss room on the 13th basement floor was an Oak General and four Oak Nights.

"I thought that a rocky demon would come out."

"What do you do, Bochan?

"What will I do ... I won't go without defeating it."

Only the oaks who fell so badly this winter can not hide their disappointment. Not knowing that, Oak General got angry that the dungeon boss's pride was hurt, but the result was simply Vandaloo's victory.

"Well, because the rank is 5, the experience value is delicious, the meat is also delicious, and this time I thought I would take lard, so it is just good."

"But the Hellhound flock struggled."

"I agree"

Harvest a small amount of treasure from the treasure chest with slightly lower tension. These days there was no big deal as giant undead and ghouls were partying and capturing many times.

More than two hundred years ago, adventurers' guilds have set up dungeon-limited but space-transferable items for each dungeon in Tarosheim.

The item allows you to instantly transfer from the treasure trove to the ground.

Depending on the dungeon, it seems that it can be transferred from each level to the ground, or it can be transferred to the level that has been done from the ground.

It's a convenient world.

"Bass Deer ranks up to Rank 5, [Ghoul Amazones]!

"How was the capture of the dungeon, boy?"

Returning to Tarosheim, Zadiris came in while taking a bath at the Royal Castle.

"It's fine, mother. You can win Kobolt Knight opponents without magic using your current van."

At last, Basdia, who was with me, responds instead.

The reason for the mixed bathing was that it was revealed that Vandalu had been soaking in hot water to the brain via Vigaro.

It's dangerous to take Vandalu alone in the bath! The recognition of was shared, and someone was sure to take a bath together.

Usually there are a lot of Vigaro and Volks, but this time both of them are capturing other dungeons.

We both know that Vandaloo is a man who has the memory of his previous life and even before that, when he sums up his age, but in the Ghoul culture, is the point of feeling shame different, remember the shame There was no appearance.

"Well, I'm three years old, and I'm physically three years old, so I don't feel anything."

It is a mixed bath with a beautiful girl and a beautiful girl, who are excellent in tall style. If he was on Earth, he might have run his eyes and looked at his gun, or he couldn't stand the excitement and had a nosebleed, or he couldn't see it and had his eyes lowered and his eyes shrunk.

After leaving the dungeon, Basdia suddenly rose to Ghoul Amazones. Although she had never been a tribe in her settlement, Vandalou thought that Amazones was a suitable race for her.

In fact, the increased ability value is also suitable for warriors, and probably because the demonic level reached 100 and the level of multiple martial arts skills increased, the condition was satisfied and the rank was improved.

Although his appearance was not much different from the past, Basdia's body had a red pattern that resembled a tattoo and seemed to have magical elements.

It's like a tattoo again and it's cool. He grew courageous, but seemed to emphasize the rich curves of Basdia.

Zadiris looks like a girl but has a luster. I'm not confident in the eyes of a three-year-old.

Still, it is very cute and I understand that it is beautiful.

However, I still thought that the spirit was greatly influenced by the body, and now I just said, "Oh, I'm naked." There is no rumbling or excitement at all.

It's the age before meticulous, and the story of first love is probably a few years away, so what is it like now?

Perhaps about ten years later, I regret, "I should have seen more at that time."

"Hey, it's a medium."

"Oh, the skill is still one level, but probably because the job has no skill correction.

Magic also seemed more powerful than before. ''

"Speaking of which, you seem to have risen in rank. You can see patterns that seem to be related to magic, but are you finally going to learn art?"

"It's called Ghoul Amazones. Thanks to this pattern, I gained magic resistance. I do not know if there is any other effect, but magic or ... I will think if I can have children."

"Ah, so how about magic items? If you have that, you should be more likely to get pregnant."

A three-year-old child who is talking about making children. The declining birthrate problem will probably be resolved by the spread of magic items to the ghouls, but it is also true that it is still inadvertent. …… If you go well and have too many children, you will have a hard time because there are no nursery schools unlike the earth.

I heard that, but Basdia's face is not good.

"That's not going well. I and my opponent are wearing magic items ..."

Apparently, it doesn't work normally.

That magic item only makes the activity time of eggs and sperm equal to race, so it makes the pregnancy probability of ghoul in the original state equal to race, but it does not mean that you can get pregnant surely.

With that in mind, it's no wonder you're not pregnant yet. A married couple with no health problems is not always able to have children.

"So, let's check with [spirit] just in case."

However, something may have gone wrong. You should check when you can afford it.

"Thank you, please"

"It's good, I'm promised to spend one week in town once I get back from the dungeon, and today I have a promise to make a reversi later."

"Um, it looks like we haven't forgotten our promise. It's good in a double sense."

There were rules to prevent Vandaloo from re-blackening.
