The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 80: The Man Who Ends Third
Kanata learns from the Target Radar that Vandaloo is heading to the basement of the castle.
In a basement where space is limited, Kanata cannot fully demonstrate his power.
If you release magic with all your might, you will be in danger due to collapse. Even though sediment can pass through [Gunguni], the lack of oxygen does not help.
And he's a good gun ... Lambda [Archive], but shooting underground can be difficult to use because there are many obstacles. [Gungunil] Kanata's arrows "penetrate" obstacles, but Kanata's eyes cannot "see through" obstacles.
That's why the Origin used infrared scopes and detection magic to determine the position of the target ... Lambda does not have an infrared scope, and if you cast detection magic, it would be detected by Vandaloo and vice versa. There was a possibility.
Inevitably, Kanata gave up sniper from a long distance and switched his mind to assassination at a short distance.
At this time, Kanata gave up setting up here and did not choose to wait for the favorable conditions of assassination at a later date, or did not choose to take measures so that it can be escaped because Vandaloo is more mobile than himself There were some reasons, but the biggest was that I wanted to finish my job and start my fourth life.
And in order to purify the possessed spirit, she wore the holy water obtained from one of the insulted female adventurers (although the spirits were now away to head to Vandalu).
Then, relying on [Target Radar], I ran through the walls and floors with [Gungnir] and reached the underground space.
It is not a skill, but an intuition of an experienced person who has repeatedly passed through a shuraba that exchanges lives even if Kanata rots.
"Wait for me! Listen to me! Poor at that time, forgive me!"
He appeared earlier than he had planned in his head, and prostrated.
(It's a bit bigger than God's information, and he pulls a lot of monsters that aren't in the information. What's that flame-shaped humanoid?)
In the inner heart, while expelling Vandaloo, who has increased the number of handpieces sometime, as "getting a hobby", he makes an apology that looks desperate on the surface.
"... what are you going to say?"
Kanata cheered in the heart that Vandalu chose to speak instead of attack. After all this is sweet.
"Oh, don't you remember the origins? I'm Kanata Kaito, a man who was a high school student like you."
After hearing the name of Kanata Kaito from the spirit, Vandaloo naturally has a clue. No one in Lambda has a last name like Kaito.
Otherwise, all of Kanata's actions are too strange, and I can only imagine being reincarnate.
"I was the one who beat you in the lab at that time."
"... Ah, by the way, I don't feel like I was there."
That was the first information I heard. At that time, only Naruse Narumi and the former classmates I knew looked at, and those who did not originally remember like Kanata hardly remained in memory.
Kandal was a little confused, but his tongue was moving smoothly, as the reaction of Vandaloo was thinner than expected.
"I didn't know you were the same at that time, I'm really sorry, forgive me. If I can't forgive, I'm willing to kill. But please don't stop killing others. "
"OK"
"Please-what?"
"So he says he accepts an apology for killing me on the origin."
Vandalou looked at Kanata, who looked up involuntarily, with impressive eyes.
"The bad thing is Lodcorte, and it would be nice if I apologized in that way. I wouldn't get involved unless I and my colleagues were disturbed. So I don't have that time. ''
You still have to go to help the giants working in slave mines. If it is harmless, reincarnations other than Kanata do not matter. It is true.
On the contrary, it is annoying if you ask me to be a friend or a friend. No matter what you think, the values do not match. If reincarnated people can recognize and respect one person for undead such as zombies and skeletons, it would be no wonder.
It would be impossible. On earth and the origin, undead dead is basically "desecrating the dead", and in many stories, including anecdotes of each religion, immortals must be buried immediately, otherwise It is a promise to have a tragic ending.
Even in earth movies and games, it can be a real thing to shoot a bullet at the head of a zombie, sadly saying, "This guy is no longer him or her."
Isn't it good enough to allow it to be used as a weapon?
These guys are so dangerous that they cannot approach Talosheim.
"Okay? I understand. I'll tell everyone else. Your distraction is a barrier."
Kanata quickly pulled the trigger of the crossbow, which had been hidden through the floor with [Gunguni]. He intended to shoot with a chance wherever Vandaloo answered.
The arrow penetrated the barrier that Vandaloud set up in a reflective manner, and his ears were sharpened and sounded on the wall behind.
The arrow did not come off. Vandalou avoided it.
"I see. Your cheat ability can penetrate ... not only matter, but also my barriers."
Kanata's face was stiffened by avoiding a sudden blow that he was convinced to be going well, but [Danger Detection: Death] had been reacting even before he prostratered.
That's why Vandaloo stared at Kanata. Kanata thought that there was a chance only because he could not read his expressionlessness.
Also, in fact, hearing from the spirit that Kanata's cheat ability was a penetrating ability was almost insightful.
At least I thought I wouldn't be safe with obstacles and barriers as shields.
"Che! Dancing with the band of flame!"
Kanata, who has recovered from the impact, blocks the gaze of Vandaloo and others with a flame created by magic.
"A bastard!
"Zlan, Eleonora, leave it to me, as I said ... I want to know how powerful the other reincarnates are. I'll have to try new skills later."
Vandalou instantly extinguishes the raging flames with [heat absorption], and pursues Kanata while secreting highly volatile poison that does not work on undead srun or Eleonora with [condition abnormality resistance] from the tongue and claws .
"Floor, ground"
In response to Vandaloo, who was quicker than expected, Kanata passed through the floor with [Gunguni] and was hidden.
"Reject, [death bullet]"
However, after all, Vandaloo instantly makes the floor around Kanata and the ground under it golem, and shoots a [dead bullet] at the position of Kanata determined by [Life detection].
"Gua !? is fast!"
Kanata, who was exposed to Vandaloo as the ground began to move as a shield, was surprised, but avoided the direct hit of [Death Bomb] and stopped just to shoot. Originally, it had a magical power that could kill you even if it was just slashed, but Vandalu was a little surprised by Kanata's quick movement.
And the poison doesn't seem to work either.
"If you guess from the speed of movement and the power of magic, your stats are the same or slightly higher than me, and you can't seem to have an unimaginable life force. Did you get Rodcorte's resistance skills?"
"[Large burning], magic!"
Without answering Vandaloo's question, Kanata casts massive fire magic. It is a technique to burn out everything that exists in a wide area at high temperature.
(It would be possible to prevent it by that barrier and the technique of removing heat, but after activating the technique, I also used [Gungunil]! This burning can not be prevented, it will not be as graceful as the getetmono behind it!)
Hold the breath while convinced of the victory, and when the flame has subsided, release Gungunir and create air for breathing with wind attribute magic. He is willing to commit his job if he can kill Vandalou, and then commit himself to live his fourth life in reward, but he's not far less thoughtful than choosing death without surely completing his job.
"I use bold measures for myself."
But Vandaloo stood with a calm face. While wrapped in flames.
"Jesus! What magic !?"
"No, they just protected them."
"They are them !?"
In front of Kanata, who doesn't understand why, the flames surrounding Vandaloo melt and take the silhouettes of several women.
Kanata was familiar with their faces.
"That guys! Posh, I've lost the holy water!"
The women whose bodies were formed by the flames were women who had been killed by Kanata, including Hannah, reincarnated in Lambda.
"I wouldn't have made such an undead, origin or here!"
"I'm just ready to do it. Let's name it" Hugs of Flames. "
Behind Vandaloo, Zlan and Eleonora, also protected by fire ghosts, appear.
A convincing expression appeared on their faces.
"That's not the enemy of Vandalu-sama."
"It's not at all. I lost in a hurry. '
As they say, the situation between Vandalu and Kanata was no longer a killing one, but Kanata was only hunted down unilaterally.
"Can you do this?"
"Leave it to me!
Fire Ghosts attack the Kanata according to the magic and will given to them by the fire ghosts. Some become spears of fire, some crawl like snakes, and others transform into giant skulls, trying to burn Kanata with its red-black flames.
It is the effect of [Devil Magic], which was learned by Vandaloo. When you hear "Death magic," you may think that it is a technique like manipulating a corpse into a zombie or skeleton like Vandalu has done so far. However, the reality was a skill similar to [spirit magic].
In the same way that a [spirit magician] communicates magic and intention to the spirit, and exercises the magic more efficiently than normal attribute magic, Vandaloo conveys magic and intention to the dead spirits and asks them to exercise the magic. There is.
The fire ghosts who are fascinated with [Death attribute fascination] continue to attack mercilessly their enemy, Kanata.
"Ho, flame, [dust ----] Gua ah!
At first Kanata tried to avoid them, but all the spears, snakes and skulls of the fire were transformed fire ghosts. Even if you avoid or run away, you will follow you relentlessly.
He tried to counterattack with [Gungnir] and tried to fight back with wind attribute magic, but contrary to his speculation, the red and black flames wrapped without passing through him and began to burn, and the spells were interrupted by screams I will.
"The ground!"
This time Kanata tried to escape below the ground, but his feet did not sink at all.
"Why, what ?! Why isn't my [Gungnir] activated?"
"It's activated. Is it your Gungunil? It's just because your ability to penetrate the" spirit "can't be transmitted."
Kanata's [Gungunil] is the ability to penetrate all specified entities. If you specify a weapon, not only the enemy weapon, but also your own weapon will slip through his finger and fall.
It was roughly expected from the stories I heard from the spirits. He said he was fighting with his bare hands when he specified the weapon, and there are many other examples.
That's why Vandaloo used something that Kanata couldn't transmit. That is the "spirit".
The spirit body resides in the body from the living things such as human beings. To transmit it through [Gungnir] is an act for Kanata to give up his spirit and soul from the body. Nothing is different from suicide, there is no instinct.
Therefore, Kanata cannot avoid the fire ghosts whose body is a burning spirit. And, in this catacomb, a part of the body that has been [spirited] of Vandalu is stretched behind the walls, floor, and ceiling, and it is [substantiated].
"Oh, there are other attacks that cannot be penetrated. For example ...
With his mouth shut, Vandalou emits a directional yell. Kanata, struggling to fight back while resisting fire resistance and death resistance, screamed in response to the direct hit and suppressed her ears.
"See, ears!"
[Mental pollution] can almost prevent [Mental erosion] of Vandaloo, but [Scream] is not a magic but a skill. Therefore, it is impossible to prevent harsh loud sounds such as rubbing the glass from directly hitting Kanata's hearing.
This is one of the weaknesses of Gungunir. If the sound penetrates, Kanata himself cannot cast spells. Therefore, if you intend to cast a spell, the sound cannot be transmitted.
"And the last weakness-"
Kandal, who suffers from blood flowing from his ears, approaches Vandaloo unconsciously.
"Gup, magic!"
Kanata pulls a knife with her burned hands and throws it at Vendaloo aiming for resuscitation.
Vandalu hit it off with his claws.
"No matter how you attack, the target's body can't penetrate, so you can't hurt your target. So I just need to protect it with my own body. Of course, claw- "
"Claws!"
While talking, she knocked down a knife that Kanata had thrown again, this time with an extended tongue.
"Even if you specify a claw, you only have to prevent it with something other than a claw."
"...?!?"
"Well, a knife of that size won't die if you hit me,"
As she raised her skill level, she spoke with a twisting tongue that grew longer, and Kanata cried out.
"Well, at the end of the day ... you've exaggerated your cheating ability to kill you at first glance, you are.
Later, why not use martial arts? I could have done a little better if I used it. ''
Until then, when I tried to kill Vandalu, if I hadn't killed anyone and hadn't used Gungunir, I wouldn't have been sealed so far.
Furthermore, if they were using martial arts, there might still be a chance to kill Vandaloo. At least I didn't hit my knife with my tongue.
Stunned from the heart, Vandalu gives magic to Levia and all fire ghosts, including the victims of Kanata.
"You can stab and kill with your tongue, but ... can you do it?"
"Yes, help everyone!
The red and black flame dress spreads wide, and Levia approaches Kanata.
"Gee !?"
In an instant, Levia's appearance changes, and Kanata is bound to it. From the feet of his cross-bodied commandments, the dead of the fire crawl up.
An ugly scream came out of Kanata's mouth.
"It seems that you have [fire burial] ... [fire element resistance], but it became an enemy. It will be very painful and painful, but I will not die immediately."
Kanata was screaming in her chest, saying, "The story is different!"
(Why is he stronger than me who has been trained by the military at the origin ?! Why can I avoid my knives easily? No upset or fear ! This guy was a guinea pig at the origin for 20 years He's a guy !?
And what is weakening! Is it more troublesome than when I was undead, I got a body that is both poisonous and sick, but I can not become a partner so far! )
Kanata, who had intended to get rid of the information provided by Rodcorte by her common sense alone, was wrong.
The information received from Rodcorte is only the information he had when he got it. And that information was obtained through the eyes of others. I just watched an unexplained documentary program, not live information.
And Vandalu has continued to grow, and after reincarnation to Lambda, he has had more severe experiences than Kanata.
Kanata, on the other hand, has made no effort since she was reborn as Lambda. There is no job at all, and the level of the so-called ordinary job has increased from 0 to 100, so the ability value has only slightly increased.
Already, Kanata's magic has run out, and he has no choice but to wait for him to turn into a dead body. Nevertheless, Kanata did not try to reflect on himself. For him, this was not yet the end.
"Dude !! But I'm not getting in shape, Necrophilia bastard! I mean, you're going to make me undead and vomit information !? Hihi, I was unfortunate!"
"... What do you say?"
"We reincarnated, even if we die, we can go to God before becoming undead! So even if Temee kills us no matter how much, we can reincarnate to God again and again Hey, I'll kill you! "
Kanata died calmly and did not intend to give up his reward. He turned to Lodcorte to return to Vandalu, who looked down on himself in the spilling habit, and this time he was going to get an easy, rewarded fourth life.
"Now I'm off guard! I can't impersonate you alone! I'll cooperate with other guys and kill you and kill me! I'll kill you and you'll live luxuriously Because God promised my fourth life, everyone will aim for your life! Even that Amemiya, Naruse! "
The tongue that had been left out of Vandalu's mouth drooped while Kanata was calling out, and returned to his mouth.
Kanata thought it was proof that Vandalu's heart was broken, and was so excited to forget the pain of burning his body.
"Be prepared! After the murder of you, the women around you too--he?"
There was a small wet sound that could be confused with a grudged voice, and a sound that cracked into something hard.
―― Tonfeng
Kanata saw that his tongue had pierced his chest. But no blood has come out. Vandalou turned his tongue back to him, confused that he had unconsciously activated [Gungnir].
"Now, I've broken my soul with my ghostly tongue. It was my first time with my tongue, so I couldn't shatter it with a single blow, but it was so deeply cracked that it would soon break."
"Eh ??????, soul?"
"That means you are gone here. There is no reincarnation, no fourth time after death."
"Well, it's a lie!
For the first time, the face turns pale, and the evoking Kanata has a completely different pain from burning the body with flames. Despite the severe pain, I do not know where it hurts.
"That's ah! Oh, God, a word!"
Although Kanata's body still endured the flames, cracks ran through and spread the important things that make up Kaito Kanata.
"Did you not know? If you did, I wouldn't say stupid things like I did. Well, I was going to break it without saying it."
Kanata's face, which has been impatient and stiff until now, has never been in despair.
"Well, I don't want to, stop me, what, why can I do that terrible thing !? I don't have the next thing ... I still have a lot to do!" Help me! "
Kanata screamed in a terrible sensation that he gradually collapsed. Vandalu sighed deeply to him.
"I think everyone is the same, the people you killed, the people I killed.
Isn't life a reset game? I should have seen more reality. ''
Without a fourth, Kanada's way of life deserved a laugh for Vandaloo, who has been working hard for a third life in Lambda.
When Kanata realizes that she is stunned behind her expressionless expression, she feels angry enough to fill her consciousness.
"Chikusoooooo! I'm going to make my way down, too, I'm a fallen shit!"
In a status that was ridiculous as if it were a game, use [arbitrary active skill] to acquire [Limit Break] skill up to 5 levels.
By using it, Kanata who crossed the limit tried to reward Vandalu.
――Ah
When a humorous voice leaks out of his mouth, he drops his head. And while my heart was still moving, I couldn't move anymore.
"Princess"
When Vandalu handed the magic, Leviah used it to burn off his neck, reminding Kanata.
The head of Kanata whose section is carbonized rolls.
And experience level entered, and the level rose at a stretch. Not only Levia, but also the level of Vandalu, which was stagnant.

Even though their roots are rotten, it seems that the incarnated person who gained cheat ability from the god of reincarnation, the experience value that is incomparable with the demons and humans there.
"Vandalu, ninety-nine people later."
"I don't care about my child, cheating ability is a big deal. In this condition, can we annihilate before becoming noble?
"We also fight as new king's limbs!
While everyone was upset about one-sided defeat of a cheat reincarnation who had heard from Vandalu that he was a strong enemy, the defeated person was calm.
"No, I don't mean I will kill the remaining ninety-nine. Some people may hate fighting me."
"But this underling ..."
"I don't trust what the crowd says."
Vandalu did not believe much about what Kanata said about the incarcerated person.
I don't know what position Kanata was in the Origin and how she was related to other incarnated people. However, based on that behavior, I do not think he was a central figure. Even if there are close friends, it will be a few people.
And now reincarnations will know that Kanata has disappeared and that it has been done in Vandalu, now or in the future ... so many people change their opinion.
(I think Rodcorte licks me and tells the reincarnations other than keeping silent [soul breaking]. In that case, the other reincarnations think that I annihilated Kanata and won (Enough for a reason)
Of course, some reincarnates may blame Vandaloo for destroying Kanata's soul. No matter how inconvenient Kanata is doing, some people may have a flower field in their heads that don't ask, "Still the same person!"
But not everyone.
"For the time being, we will treat reincarnated people according to our current policy. But what if we all reincarnate with adult bodies?"
If it starts without completeness, there is an attempt to create an environment where you can not go out of hand with the honorary aristocracy and social reputation that you will struggle to get from now on.
"No, not wasteful? If Miko gets bigger first, even if the reincarnated people are heroic and put on the child with difficult habits, the surroundings will be with him. '
"That's right. If you're a mysterious person and social celebrity who doesn't know what you're born even if you have terrific skills, I guess they usually support them."
"e? Do you want to be any bigger when you already own Talosheim? It's an ambitious person!
"Are our new kings going to reign in the world ...?!
"God should send a thug by reason"
"We are already dead, if this body is the cornerstone of the king's victory, our desire!
"Wait, I'm not going to champion or go down the avenue."
Exciting Princess Levia and the ghosts of her escort. For the time being, it seems they need to talk more with them.
"For the time being, I crushed this place so that it would not be disturbing that the seal of the blood of the Demon King had been broken, and asked the people rolling there to wear wet clothes ... Shall we go home? "
It is bad to find out that the Bandarloos have invaded the castle and unsealed the Demon King's seal, and it's also bad to kill all the people of Duke Hartner Castle.
For now, let's just put up with this.
"So, let's fly tomorrow night to the ruins near the tunnel where the Volks are heading."
The coffin, sealed with the blood of the Demon King, and the remains of the whip, were also recovered, and the Bandarurus left the castle of Duke Hartner.
