The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 79: Going to the catacombs in a fantastic style
"GAAAAAAA ..."
The last monster, Rank 7, which is composed of several poison zombies combined into a huge body, Heinz, who broke a poison zombie giant with a magic sword wearing a blue burning flame, breathed after confirming that no new hands appeared Vomited.
This monster, centered around a middle-aged to middle-aged female zombie, was much stronger than the others.
"Runaway seems to be over. Are you all right?"
"Oh, no problem. I'm tired."
"This one is also intact ... I'm tired."
Heinz's exhaustion was severe. The monsters that appeared during the runaway were mainly ranks 4 and 5, and the monster at rank 7 was only the poison zombie giant who stabbed it earlier. The number is about a thousand or so, which is less than the average for a monster runaway.
The A-class adventurer party, [Goshiki-no-Blade], is not a struggling opponent, but rather it is usually one-sided as a small fish. Even a large group of over a thousand.
That's the power of a class A adventurer's party.
However, monsters approaching the town of Niaki were not ordinary.
In the group, more than 70% of the demons were undead, and the remaining 30% consisted of plants and insects. And the demon with the spinning organs resembled a spell, "Kill Heinz."
The swarm of monsters, led by a mighty commander named King, behaved like a creature, but this was unusual.
However, it can be said that it was fortunate. The demons swarmed regardless of entering the town of Niaki. When the guards, knights, and adventurers from the town gathered to form a squadron defense team, the swarm of monsters attacked Heinz, standing at the forefront of the squadron, ignoring the town. It is.
Regardless of whether a wounded and immovable soldier has fallen within reach, or if there are adventurers who are exhausted and full of gaps, they will try to aim for Heinz.
But all the demons were more powerful than the ranks, and even if they were defeated or defeated, they attacked endlessly.
The defeated insect-type monsters become undead, and fungi and mold grow from the remnants of the defeated undead, producing plant-type monsters such as poison mash and Venom mold, and insects from plant-type debris. Occurs and it becomes a monster.
With an endless chain of demons, Heinz had to face up to more than ten thousand monsters.
"But ... I was so resentful. What did you do?"
`` We adventurers have defeated monsters countlessly, so there were many reasons for being resentful, but they were not extraordinary. ''
The racial fighter Jennifer and the priest of the Sleeping Goddess Mill, the priest of Mill, the elf Diana, joined the party after Heinz moved to the Orbaum Kingdom.
When asked, Heinz looks back at the direction of the town of Niaki before answering them.
The monsters were aiming for [Five-colored blades] and only Heinz, so the town walls were intact, and the defense squad was not intact, but several seriously injured, but only a few were lucky to die. Not.
"If you have one thing, you're the dumb-peel boy."
"Are you suddenly running away in the adventurer's guild? Do you remember remembering him?"
"No, there is nothing to do with that boy and the runaway of this monster in the first place."
Heinz wondered what to say to Jennifer and Diana and opened his mouth.
"I think so, but ... he's called Vandaloo."
When they hear the answer, they blink without blinking. Heinz was not convinced.
But in the Milg shield country, the name of the dark elf "witch" he caught was Darussia. That was about seven years ago.
A form on the adventurer's guild's guild counter that had been rejected and rejected was marked with the name Vandaloo and his age of seven.
"Maybe he is--"
"I think too much, Heinz"
"Edgar?"
"Dumpel's kid isn't a dark elf by any means. He has such white skin, can't he?
Heinz, I'm just convinced of your guilt. ''
"It may be ..."
Dampiel's visible features are a reddish-colored odd-eye and fangs, and free claw claws. Otherwise, they always inherit the characteristics of their parents. If one parent is a dark elf, it cannot have white skin like .
In addition, a baby less than one year old cannot survive alone in the open air. What's more, they escape across the border mountains to the Orbaum election kingdom.
"I'm thinking too much, and it's apparent that I'm tired of wondering about the connection with this monster runaway than I thought. He shouldn't be the Demon King again."
Edgar replied, “Yes,” to Heinz, who laughed at the rumor whispered recently at the temple of Arda, but, contrary to the words, thought that he would return to town to find out about Vandalu.
(Certainly, it was an organization called "Fang of the Dark Night" that organized the information store in the town of Niak.
Edgar's actions triggered the astonishing “Fang of the Dark Night,” a case in which the leader and all of his leaders continued to run the organization after they were undead.
"Rather, when I get back to town and rest, I'll look for a dungeon that's overflowing with this monster. The swarm came from a completely different direction than the found dungeon, so a new dungeon was born You should be there.
Maybe [the trial of Zaccato] "
About one hundred years ago, the only moving labyrinth in the world that has suddenly appeared without notice in any part of this continent and disappeared in about a month. A dungeon with no survivors, except that Heinz et al. [Five-colored blades] succeeded in withdrawing at the expense of one of their friends without being able to identify the grade, [Zachart's test]. At the deepest part of the labyrinth there is a hidden treasure left by Zachart, while an undead Zaccato awaits, and it is reported that the defeated hero can be the successor to the hero Bellwood.
"If so ... I'll show you this time, even for Marti.
But that's right. First of all, I have to return to the inn waiting for selenium. ''
"No, before that the guild reported to me ... yes, I'll do it. Don't complain even if I monopolize the popularity of the receptionist sisters."
Edgar smiled bitterly at the leader trying to return to Dumpel's girl.
"Huh ... Hoho ... That's terrible ... I can't forgive me.
"What's wrong, Vandaloo?"
"The members of the adventure party" Nishi no Nagi ", the receptionist Aria, Hannah and her father."
By turning the ground into a golem and transforming it into a passage with [Golem Training], Vandaloo was digging a tunnel from the guildmaster's mansion of the magician guild under the castle of Duke Hartner's castle.
Braga and the Black Goblins and their lovers are left in the mansion, and the guildmasters who have become craps are preparing "souvenirs."
By the way, the guildmaster's mansion also had some good wands, but Vandaloo remained untouched. If he uses a human wand with a monster-soaked magical power, he will explode, rot, and turn into dust if he does not exercise his utmost care.
Vandaloo doesn't use wands, because using a wand that helps with magic requires concentration like writing on a grain of rice. Is there a stick somewhere made for more than a person?
It was a rabbit, and suddenly Vandalu suddenly began to talk to himself while making the passage.
However, in the eyes of Zlan, who is undead, it is reflected that he is possessed by a soul in a ruthless form.
"It's part of the spirit that has come to countless times since your Son came here. I'm just like those who have died recently
As soon as you arrived at the city of Niak, the spirits of the city were flooded with sights towards Vandalu. With so many numbers, Zlan cannot hear what they are talking about.
However, the spirits who are now appealing to Vandalu for something are a little different from other spirits.
"Eleonora, Zulan, when a man in his thirties, with black hair and eyes, called Kanata Kaito, appears, leave it to me until he gives directions."
"Kaido Kanata? ... Is it true?"
"Is one of Kuzu who killed the child in the previous life! ? Asshole, good opportunity, let's kill off the zombies and spit out the information!
Vandaloo had already obtained his information from the spirits of Kanata victims.
According to them, Kanata has already entered Nineland and it is unclear why this location is known, but it is approaching Vandaluo.
According to the spirits, swords, spears, and magic cannot pass for some reason, and Kanata's attacks seem to penetrate their bodies and armor. In addition, it is said that users of [fighting art] and [fighting magic] also use high fire attribute magic and wind attribute magic.
(Transmission is the result of extending the suitability of the attributes received from the Lodcorte cheat ability, the fire attribute and the wind attribute with the origin. After that, [Martial arts] and [dagger art] ... Is it experience at the origin? (This is the one who is not cursed at all.)
He calms down Zrans who show murderous intent, thinking inward that they are all unequal, even though they have all tried again from scratch. Zlans have combat abilities that cannot be beaten by average adventurers and knights, but cheat abilities risk overturning such abilities.
That's why cheats are called.
"So leave it to me. If you want to kill him ... no, I'll kill him for sure, but I want to do it."
"I can tell by looking at the spirit that it is a considerable villain ... Is it so bad?
"Quite. I doubt my sanity."
After learning about Kanata, Vandaloo was more confused than hatred. In short, I thought, "What are you doing?"
It's a cruel act that doesn't seem to be a person, but it's so overwhelming. If you find it a little inconvenient or quicker, kill and commit immediately.
If you do that, you will not be able to live long no matter how much cheat ability you have.
I'm more concerned about having a much more adult form than Vandaloo, who should have died first at the origin, and trying to figure out where he's located.
Anyway, what did Rhodocorte do?
"It's definitely decided he's coming to kill me for now, but ... let's recite [life detection] on a regular basis."
The word "work" that Kanata had been talking about would have meant killing Vandalu.
It doesn't matter, but why come in the way at this time? It's better than aiming for Bradas who are waiting at the guildmaster's mansion because they come to aim directly at Evandalou.
"Sure, they were doing something justice ally, right?"
"That's justice. Just like Bellwood is a hero from the perspective of Aldaists, but not from us."
"That's true."
While saying that, the Vandaloos reached the deepest part of Nineland.
There is no human reaction in the dark stone walkway and beyond with [Life Sense]. However, [danger detection: death] has a reaction.
"A trap?
"No, this shape is a barrier. There seems to be a barrier left by the hero."
As he stepped out of the open tunnel into the aisle, Vandalou shot a weak [dead bullet] ahead of the aisle.
Then, a wall of light appeared where nothing was supposed to be, emitting sound and light and letting the [dead bomb] pop.
"This is the barrier left by Hero 9 Road ...!"
"I played Miko's [dead bullet]!
"I'll release it."
""eh?""
No, how easy is that?
In front of the astounding Eleonora and Zlan, Vandalu uses the magic of death to break the barrier of the hero.
I'm not doing anything difficult. It simply breaks the load that the barrier cannot bear.
The barrier of the Nine Road survived for several tens of seconds, but at the end it shattered with the sound of shattering glass.
"Well, it was harder than the ice of Ice Age. I used 300 million magical powers.
"Oh, oh"
Zlan removes her water bag from her luggage with her surprised face. Inside is the bouncer fresh blood of the guildmaster's guildmaster.
It seems that he sucked a lot of sweet juice from his employer who is a collaborator of the original vampire, so the blood is also delicious.
"Well, the cup after one job is special."
"Vandalu-sama, a bit-"
"Is it middle-aged?
"No, it looks cute, like a little stretched child."
"Is that so……"
With a slight drop in his shoulders, he goes on again without waiting for his magic to recover. I know that Kanata is heading here, but there is no problem because the magical power recovers 10,000 or more per second depending on the skill.
Beyond the barrier, it became a large catacomb that could not be imagined from the passage. Bones and shells are rolling in large and small depressions. It is not a sight that can be called a sanctuary.
The drifting air is unpleasantly moist and somehow annoying. Although there should be no life, a moaning sound resounds from somewhere.
"Well, I'm not here, Princess."
"Oh! Levia! Me, Zlan, come out!
However, no ghosts or demons can be seen. There is also a figure of Levia, the first princess.
"There may still be a barrier. The barrier to contain something is often double-triple."
When I searched according to Eleonora's words, I found something strange.
A silver casket tied with a whip. This is the core of the barrier.
"... what is this hobby?"
"Ah, Nine Road seems to have been a [whipstick] user. Isn't that so?
"By the way, what's in the coffin? Reliable ally if it's a vampire ... It's not always the case. It might be a vampire who turned over to evil or evil gods."
"Certainly, it would be tough if there were things that didn't end as soon as the seal was broken."
While saying so, Vandaloo tries to break the seal, but there is no reaction especially to [Danger Detection: Death].
“Is the contents empty?
And Vandaloo works to break the barrier just like the barrier that has already been broken.
Then, before the barrier had been broken, the coffin shattered the whip and opened vigorously from the inside.
"Vandaloo-sama!"
"Chu!
In front of Eleanora and Zlan, who grab and drop down quickly, something red like an amoeba that jumps out of the coffin looks up like a viper when he looks down at Vandalu with a sacrificial neck!
Very, very, very, very ...
And it was drunk by Vandalu.
"" ... Huh? "
In front of them, Vandalou swallows the contents of the coffin and joins his hands and bows his head, "Feast."
"Va, Vandalu? What is it now? What do you drink more than that?"
"Whatever ... I came into my mouth."
"No, you'll usually spit out! ?
"But I don't think it's good to leave food. Well, blood that's been sealed by a hero for about 100,000 years isn't usually called food."
"If you know, now is blood! ?
"Well, maybe part of the Demon King !?"
It is a famous story that the devil King Gudranis, whose body has been broken down and broken down by a hero, is sealed in part. Therefore, if only blood was sealed, the Lord would be the only Demon King.
In fact, the announcement in the brain said, "We absorbed the Devil's blood! ]. However, they were so surprised that they wondered whether to say.
[Vampire] skill level has been raised to 10! Awakened to the top skill [Work Blood]!
[Work Blood], [Death Magic], [Healing Power], [High Speed Healing], [Magic Power Recovery], [Magic Resistance], [Poison Secretion: Tongue Tongue], [Body Stretching: Tongue] Skill Level Has risen!
"Two names, [Demon King Return] won!
Vandalu wants to violently protest the last two people he has won. Who will return for the Demon King? However--.
"Spitting, spitting child!
"Vandalus, pe, pe!"
Zulan grabbed his foot, turned it upside down, and swung up and down, so he couldn't afford it.
"No, what, what, already, kyu, yuu, oh, how, uh."
In the eyes of Vandalu, waving up and down, there were countless ghosts that appeared as the seal of the hero was broken. Upside down.
ghost. Unlike powerless spirits that can only be seen by Vandalus, Undead, and [Psychic Masters], they are monsters without bodies.
The rank is 2, and physical attack is hardly effective, but you have no physical power. However, many individuals do not have complete personality and memory before birth.
"Who? A minion of the Dukes of Hartner? …… No, this scary but peaceful sign is ……?
"Look at that giant race. That's undead. '
"Why the undead? Has the barrier been broken ... are we released?
The translucent ghosts, whose outlines are blurred and are not below the knee, are whispering. I don't feel hostile, but I feel a bit scared.
"Oh ... Levia-sama, there's Levia-sama! ? I'm Tarunheim's Zlan!
Zulan unintentionally releases her hand from Vandalu's leg and shouts at the ghosts. Vandaloo was caught by Eleonora immediately and saw a ghost of a woman who stretched her hair longer than her waist out of the ghosts.
"Levia!
"Zlan ... I remember. Scout warrior, the most dagger-savvy of our race. "
Zlan was neither close nor sidelined with Princess Levia, but it was Tarosheim, with a population of only 5,000 and a loose status system. I had the opportunity to meet.
In particular, Zlan was one of the few scouts in the giants, so it seemed easy to remember.
"Why are you here with Zandia and Talosheim who fought to the end? Oh, but you're the same prisoner as us, as it's sealed here. I couldn't return to the goddess, or wander around here without being able to clear my remorse-"
"Oh, the barrier has been solved."
"Yes, as long as the double-barrier is not broken ... has it been broken?
"Yes. I'm late. I'm Vandalu, the current King of Tarosheim."
Vandalou greeted him, being caught upside down by Eleonora.
After hearing the explanation from Vandalu and seeing the salt in the Valley of the Galant, brought from Tarosheim, Levia fully believed in his words.
If you can't believe it here, it's hard, so it's safe.
"Is that so. Did everyone remaining in Talosheim be brave until the end? Thank you very much for guiding Volks and protecting our homeland.
Even so, I need to protect everyone ... "
"Levia is bad! Bad is the Duke of Hartner, the traitor!
When Princess Levia fled from Tarosheim to a small escort and duke of Hartner, residents of the now ruined town and duke of Hartner welcomed him.
But the supper that Duke Hartner hosted for them was poisoned.
The princesses, who believed the Duchess of Hartner to be allies, undoubtedly ate food and drank poison, and still tried to resist, but they were caught by the duke's knights and sorcerers, and escorted. He was killed on the spot, and Princess Levia was stigmatized as attempting to kill the Duke, and was burned.
The body was buried in this underground barrier.
"I heard from those who were buried here as we did, and I knew most of it. The knights and sorcerers who killed us were sealed and buried here. ''
The officials did not seem to have kept it alive. At that time, Duke Hartner seemed to be an excellent conspirator. It may be that Milan's lady in the city of Niak heard the spirit of a wandering official who managed to escape before being captured here.
"And that's about to come."
"Yes, not to mention you are no longer in the world, but the throne of Tarosheim is yours. Please help and guide everyone.
So Levia bowed. In each of these actions, there is a dignity that does not seem to have no substance.
And yet there was no atmosphere of pride, and Vandalou thought that a good lady would be like her. Princess Levia, whose legs are half-extinguished because of the giant race, is more than two meters tall.
The outline is now blurred, but it must have been a beautiful princess before birth.
"Now you can return to everyone and the goddess."
That's not to say, but Vandaloo detained her.
"Oh wait, you need your help to help everyone in the slave mines."
"Is it? But I can't do much for me now. "
"It doesn't have to be a big deal. It's important that you cooperate with Vandaloo and show her."
The Tarosheim giants trapped in slave mines are, of course, unaware of Vandaloo and what is now Tarosheim. Above all, it is unlikely that even if Vandaloo says "I came to help from Talosheim", he would not be able to believe it because [Death attribute charm] does not work.
Even if Zlan and the Volks and the Giants undead convince, their effects remain questionable. Their families and relatives may believe, but they may not believe that the unrelated are crazy because they have become undead.
Goddess Vida's teachings are tolerant of the undead, but they do not claim to be unconditionally familiar.
Of course, there is also a way to ignore their feelings as captive slaves and forcibly remove them, and then solve the misunderstanding in Talosheim, but if an unexpected resistance is encountered, the injured person ... If the dead person is killed, the aftertaste is bad. You can be undead, but if you do not want to die you should do it.
There she is Princess Levia. Her words, which led them two hundred years ago, would surely arrive even if they were ghosts.
"At least you should hear the story."
"But now, my words that couldn't protect everyone are now ... and there's no need or grudge to stay in this world. Our heart has been saved.
If your son, be sure to release everyone from slaves-- '
"Muh, my son !? No, I'm not Vandalu's mother, he's-"
Intercepted by Eleonora's panicked voice, who had been mistaken for the mother of Dumpil's Vandalu, Vandalu asked Princess Leviah.
"Is that OK?"
"So ... what is it?
"Is it easy to forgive me? Those who have killed you, killed escort warriors and locked them up for two hundred years. Those who have arrested your people illegally and exploited them for two hundred years.
Can anger, hatred, and hatred not be eliminated? "
"That's it!"
Levia's voice was mixed. The giant ghosts behind her are shaking as if upset.
When he was killed two hundred years ago, he knew he had been taken to a slave mine, and he was angry, hatred, and hated the Duke of Hartner, as Vandaloo said.
He cursed that he was betrayed, shouted that he wouldn't forget this grudge, and made him grudge. It reacts with the magical power of the Demon King that leaks slightly from the seal, and it turns into a ghost.
"But revenge is--"
"It's a legitimate act, especially in this case. I'm not saying that my 200 year old grudge against the living man. I just hit the current man on the current grudge."
Staring straight at the leviaurs, Vandaloo spins words. Just as their anger, their hatred, their hatred, will pass on to them, so that they will arouse their hatred, hatred, and remorse.
"It's only natural to be angry, hate, and hate. It's normal for a person to be.
She was betrayed, deprived of life, and degraded by a trusted partner. He has absurdly captured important people and has been exploiting it for two hundred years. Those who don't think anything about them can only be said to be crazy. ''
"Naturally ... normal ..."
"What did you feel when you realized you were poisoned, when you killed escort warriors, and when you were burned with fire?"
"I am ... oh! I ’m that time!
"There must be hatred, anger, grudge in you. Let's burn it again."
"My inside ..."
"Oreachi's anger ..."
"My ... resentment"
Ghosts who are not related in part are being pushed, but Vandaloo continues without concern.
"And help me out, to take back what I was stolen."
At the end of that, when I thought that the noise of sparks had been reduced, light and heat spread to the underground graveyard, which was shrouded in darkness.
"I remember, my anger, my hatred! I can't die without clearing this grudge! Yes, everyone!
Princess Levia was burning. It wasn't in a metaphorical sense, it was really burning.
The body of the spirit body, which had not been relied on before, glows red, and the outline is clear and the details of the face are visible. It looks like a goddess of fire, with a stretch of flame hair and a dress.
[Death Magic] Acquired skill!
"Yes, that's right!
"The Duke of Hartner, who still despises us, can't go away without disaster!
"I'll clear my resentment of playing with me! I'm not a maid! Kiiii!
Some victims of the non-giant Dukes of Hartner are burning, but Vandaloo doesn't mind.
The ghosts that existed in the catacombs were all burning as if they were wearing flames.
"Is this a rank up! ? Why? ...? No, is that good? It seems that Levia and everyone will remain. "
As Zlan said, the Leviates reminded and exploded of the negative emotions they once held, inspired by his negative emotions shared with Vandaloo's Mental Erosion skill.
It was influenced by the fire-executed Leviah, who had upgraded Leviah into a Rank 4 Flame Ghost and other ghosts into a Rank 3 Fire Ghost.
Magicians and scholars studying in the magician guild see it as a fuss.
"Vandaloo's greatness has increased again. That's fine."
"that's right"
However, she was swept away.
Of course, the Vandalu himself was surprised by the suddenly burning Princess Levia. They shared their scorching hatred and anger, but didn't think they really burned.
Not surprising enough to forget everything.
"Now, let's go to help everyone!
"I'm sorry, there is a matter that I want to clear before that."
Instead of taking on Leviah's burning hand, Vandaloo turned around and looked towards the passage he came from.
Then there stood a thirty man with black hair and brown eyes, raising his hands, who had nothing at all, in the shape of a hurry.
"Wait for me! Listen to me! Poor at that time, forgive me!"
Saying that, Kanata Kaito sat down in front of Vandaloo and put her forehead on a dusty floor.
Two name explanations [The Return of the Devil]
A title indicating that this is the return of the Demon King. Not only to be recognized, but if you can not actually do the same thing as Demon King Gudranis, you can not get. Crush the soul, create new kinds of demons, create dungeons, etc. Or you can take in, absorb, or take in a part of the Demon King.
The person who has acquired these two persons will be amended for various prohibitions and treatment of evil knowledge, in addition to the act satisfying the acquisition conditions described above.
In particular, the creation and change of monsters is greatly corrected. One example is Princess Levia's rank as Flame Ghost or Fire Ghost.
However, not all demons can be created and changed unconditionally, but there are detailed conditions and compatibility.
