The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 95: Fier
Despite taking a rough breath with her shoulders up and down, Tenesia was laughing with a sense of liberation that filled her spirit like a drug, "Kehihi." Its appearance has become something unlike a vampire.
Not only on the temporal and forehead, but also on the back and belly, the back of the upper arm and the hand, the thigh, the knee and the calf, twisted and branched horns grow.
"Kuffa ... Would you like to see it? Would you like to taste it? This is the sealed part of the Demon King Gudranis ... The power of [Devil King's Horn]"
A fragment of the Demon King, obtained by Tenesia tens of thousands of years ago. That was the identity of this corner. This [Maou no Kaku], which wears all magical defenses and easily tears even Adamantite, was her trump card.
In cooperation with Goubamon and Vircain, which also carry the Demon King's shard, they escaped from the heroes who had the protection of the hero god and won the battle with the vampires who serve other evil gods.
But until now?
"Well, I betrayed me, Fufu, him, etc. Oh, yes, I don't need him. I'm so strong. I'm so strong. I don't need him. And steal the Demon King's shards, and the other shards in the empire and elected kingdom too!
Tenesia screams intently on the Birkines who have not come to help her, but moans and holds her head down.
(Sorry, erosion has already begun. If you do not control it sooner ...!)
The Demon King's shards give great power to those who have them. That's the power to fight even God.
But the price is big. The body fragment of the Demon King Guduranis is still alive. They take over the spirit and body of the fake host, Tenesia, and try to collect pieces of other Demon Kings for resurrection.
Even so, the magical power of Gudranis, which the Demon King's shards harbor, has a property that normally does not exist in Lambda, and will attack the host.
The degree is displayed on the status in the form of [Evil Degree of Erosion] skill. The level of Demon King Erosion in Tenesia is already 5. The higher the level, the more you can use the Demon King's fragments freely. Conversely, it is a proof that your spirit has been violated by approaching the Demon King.
Tenesia tries to calm herself and try to hold down the [Devil's Horn], but she has to be interrupted when Heinz and her colleagues have fallen around her.
"Is this the power of the Demon King's fragment?"
"Adamantite shields are full of holes, they'll do it."
Each of the Heinz were seriously injured, but none of them were fatal. And the serious injury gradually heals.
"... Well, you guys are more like vampires. Why aren't you dead now?"
[Evil King's Horn] was also torn down, including the armor that combined the scales of the Dragon with the shield of Adamantite from Deliza and the Mythril of Heinz. Normally, there is only one A-class adventurer ... Edgar and Jennifer, especially lightly dressed, should be fatally injured.
But the reality is that everyone is alive and trying to continue the battle.
In front of you is a monster that has lived since the days of the Jindai, and it has a fragment of a demon king who has defeated many gods, but his eyes have no color to give up.
(Which of these guys is doing that job? No, I guess I'm going to be more hunted down, so maybe there's someone at best?)
"Well, I'll just kill you until you die!"
When shouting out the name of the advanced martial arts of [throwing art], Tenesia shot out the [Demon King's Horn] that grew on her body!
"Don't try to prevent it! Avoid or attack!"
Knowing the meaning of Diana's warning, Heinz avoids the approaching Demon King's horn or slams his weapon to change his orbit.
"We make a gap, [Million Slash]!"
"Go, Heinz!"
In both cases, the advanced martial arts of Edgar and Jennifer who have activated the [Transcendence] skill, etc., play the horn of the Demon King approaching while rotating and knock down.
"Leave it!"
And the tip of the magical sword, which shines more vividly than when the tipras are made into two, approaches Tenesia.
"[Evil wall]!"
However, [the devil's horn] grows again from Tenesian body.
[Devil horn] is different from the horns of bones such as dragons, and is close in nature to the horns of deer and rhinoceros. Just like deer horns grow every year, [Maou's horn] grows in the shape desired by Tenesia where it wants.
Her clothes with many slits and exposed skin are also for when I use [Evil Devil's Horn] in case of emergency.
The horns that grew while bending and branching became entangled, turning into a shield and colliding with Heinz's magic sword.
"Uoooooooooo!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Heinz pierces the [Angel of the Demon King] and tries to pierce at the cutting edge. That's right, Tenesia grows up [Maou no Kaku] and strengthens his defenses.
(This guy is! This is [Guru]!)
A person who guides many beings, not just selected ones. Except for Bellwood and Zachart brave heroes during the Jindai era, there are only as many as can be counted with both hands in the last 100,000 years.
In a sense, it is a job that is considered a condition of a hero.
The fear of [Guide] is not only the strength of the person himself, but also endlessly raising friends and those who have received their guidance.
It is well known to Tenesia himself, once led by the heroes.
"Ah! [Evil Wall]! [Evil Armor]! [Spiral Shattering]!
"Wow !?"
In succession, [Shield Art], [Armor Art], [Throwing Art], and [Spear Art], activate the advanced martial arts, endure Heinz's attack with power skills, and retreat Tenesia's grinds, ] I glared at the candidate and his companions who would entrust them with their benefits.
Heinz, these guys, and the damp oysters they own should be killed anyway. If you leave it as it is and give it a chance to grow, you may be hunted down without any help.
Now Tennessee is still stronger. If you push it all the way out, Heinz will be killed more than 70% of the time.
But ...
"Shit, you can use magic, there's more you can do!"
Thinking about such things with a head that complains of a headache due to successive firings of advanced martial arts, the mysterious magic power of the devil's fragment is incompatible with other attribute magic. For this reason, while [Maou no Kaku] is active, Tenesia cannot activate magic other than non-elemental magic.
Usually, such shortcomings do not make sense before the power of the Demon King's shard.
[Devil erosion degree] skill level has been raised!
"Gagahia!"
At the same time as the voice resounded in my head, the devil of [Maou no Kaku] became stronger. Intense headaches and blurred vision make the pleasure spread like numbness. The sense of crisis in Tenesia has grown to its limit.
(In this case, even if you kill them etc., I will be hijacked by the fragments! You have to start over here!)
"Remember, you guys will kill you!"
"That's going to escape!"
"Let's make it!"
The Heinz and the others tried to pursue the escape of Tenesia, but were again blocked by the [Evil Devil's Horn] she launched.
And when Heinz had finished dealing with the horns, there was no place in Tennessia.
Using legendary magic items in his back teeth, Tenesia was transferred to a special hideaway and collapsed, collapsing and framed on a smooth floor made of polished stone.
"Well, I managed to escape ..."
We need to get ready soon. He tells Bircain and Goubamon that Heinz could be the mentor and kills them altogether.
Not if you're waiting for a dumpey across the mountains.
Hihilyshkaka is also helping. What's "Evil God of Evil", they're far more dangerous than a dumpy that can make an undead. Why didn't you submit the oracle early to kill them!
"Bellmond ... Where are you losing !? I'm coming quickly, you're my [dog]!"
One of my last confidant ... Tennessia called me the most useless.
The mind and body are broken and the appearance is ugly. However, he has the unique skill of [Offer]. With this skill effect, you can completely recover the life and magical powers of the eater, and can remove most abnormalities.
If you drink Belmond's blood, Tenesia can be fully regained immediately. That's why I kept them here.
Let's return the benefits we picked up now.
"Why don't you come!
In the eyes of Tenesia, standing up without hiding her eyes, she saw five children with the same face, not Belmond, pointing at the tip of the cylinder.
Thought stops for a moment, the survival instinct of Tenesia screams.
"[Nemesis] Gun, Fayel"
Something is fired from the tube with a roar. A moment before that, Tenesia tried to protect herself with the [King of the Devil] who was trying to calm down.
However, even in the bare state, the bullets fired from the cylinder penetrated the goddess of Adamansite like a candy or something, and hit the neck of Tenesia.
The face of Tenesia, who opened astonishingly, disappears, and the body below from her remaining neck collapses to the floor again.
And the roar and vibration of the bullet hitting the wall beyond. A few seconds later, there was a sound of Pochan and something falling on the underground lake.
"As expected, Orichalcum's bullets have different powers ... but I guess they used too much magic."
Seeing the four self-extinguished spirits and the barrel that had turned into an exploded bamboo, Vandaloo sighed.
Bandalu, who spliced various pieces of Belmondo back to her, said that when she came here, the place that appeared in Tennessee was a harbor in a mansion that could be rowed directly from the mansion to the underground lake.
The legendary magic items that Tenesia has in the back teeth are small and portable, but instead they can only be transferred to one of the pre-registered locations and to the location where they were before the last transfer.
And Heinz, who had watched over Remulus from far away, hunted down Tennessee and set a bullet in Orichalcum on the barrel to watch her escape.
In the meantime, he built and transported tiny dungeons behind the hideouts in Tenesia, tossed her undead, and collected magic items and items.
By the way, it's been a week since Belmond fell.
"I came earlier than expected, and it was worn out."
"No, there's more to say?"
"Are there any other ...?"
"Well"
Belmond screamed a bit amazed at Vandaloo, who had no special emotions or feelings after defeating the original vampire who had reigned in the dark world since the days of Jindai.
However, from the perspective of Vandalu, Tenesia is far less an enemy than Goubamon, who took away the corpse of the heroes of the Zandia Tarosheim as his father's enemies, and Bilkine, the former master of Eleonora.
Of course, he was on the "absolute kill list" in his mind, as he was one of the guys behind the war between the Talosheim and Milg shield countries two hundred years ago.
"Oh, if you're worried about the collapse of this underground space, it's okay because you've done the seismic work. At worst, you'll have time to escape."
"... you can see it by building a bunch of thick rock pillars next to the mansion."
"It's not what she wants to say, teacher."
I want to see the undead created by the original vampire, even if it is parasitized by insects and equipped as it is in Vandalu! And Luciliano, who was burning the soul of the researcher, caught his mouth.
Belmondo, who has seen him after a long time, is sympathetic to the understanding of the living race.
"If you don't collect the precious materials that are rolling there quickly! A rare vampire who has lived since the days of the Jindai and who is protected by evil gods! Its value is immeasurable!"
"... No, I don't mean to say that."
Oh, the values don't match. Is he still crazy? Belmond felt lonely in Luciliano's glaring eyes.
"That is also true. [Death delay] Regards parasitism."
Perform surgery on the body of Tenesia who has started convulsions while falling down, and parasitizes insects. And she slippery equips her body.
There is of course no large amount of blood flowing on the floor, so make it a blood golem and have it come to your mouth and drink it out very much. The broken corner pieces are collected in your luggage.
[Work Blood] skill level is up!
Once you drink your blood, your skill level goes up, even if it rots, you're a vampire.
"Please let me check when you return, Master. But ... Is it hopeless to recover the head? I wanted the petrified magic eyes and a piece of the brain I heard from Miss Belmondo, …… ”
"I'm increasingly scared to go outside. Your race's work seems to be deeper than 10,000 years ago."
"More than that, do you know what projections like horns and spines that grew from all over my body when I shot with a [teku] gun?"
"That's ... I don't know, but maybe it's probably [the devil's fragment]"
Listening to Belmond's unscrupulous tone, Vandaloo puts a [judgment] on the corner pieces he had in his hand.
"The corner of Tenesia: Unknown, but possesses the same magical power as the blood of Demon King Gudranis."
"I see ... oh, both of you are away from me. It's about to come."
""come?""
"Tenesia is not dead yet"
At the same time as they understood the meaning of Vandaloo's words, a black twisted corner came out of the remote lake.
Vandalu tried to stop it by forming a barrier, but he ran to his mind the next moment and laid down on the floor according to the warning of [danger detection: death].
Above it, the thrown horn easily passed through [Barrier Barrier].
"I see, that barrier has to work at that corner. But ... you're alive."
Standing up with some surprise, Vandalu saw what looked to Tenesia, with an impressive appearance, dripping from the lake.
"I'm gonna do it!
A new torso is growing with regenerative ability that transcends common sense, but with the internal organs and a few muscles entangled in the spine and ribs, it is like holding it in place with something black and hard .
"Apparently, the common sense of dying if you destroy your neck or heart doesn't seem to pass to the original vampire."
Despite saying this, he immediately fired the gun again using the barrel that had been returned to its original shape with Golem Training, but was easily avoided.
"It's quick to look dying."
Even though it was so high, he did not forget about the attack he was deeply attacked by.
"Suddenly, I'm sorry!
The underground space shook with the roar, but Tenesia took a quick avoidance action. That's the only thing that you need to watch out for [telemotion] guns, but in fact [telemotion] guns have a time lag of several seconds until the next shot is fired, the range is long like an idiot, but the accuracy of hitting moving targets is difficult, etc. It was an experimental weapon full of drawbacks.
(Is it still hitting enemies flying at high speed?)
At Belmondo, he used his body as a decoy and sealed off his movements, and a while ago he was waiting for a surprise. In order to be able to use it freely like the protagonist of an action movie, some ingenuity will still be needed.
"Puppy! Puppoeap!"
[Devil King's Horn] is further ejected from Tenesia, where no pieces of sanity already remain. The twisting and branching corners that rotate at high speeds will likely gobble large meat just by sharpening.
"Extend the branches and vines"
In order to avoid the barrier, Vandalu decided to entangle it with the vines and branches of his Immortalent, which he had in his body, and with the thread he stretched.
It is effective against the [Maou no Kaku] where there are many places where it gets caught in the structure.
"So, Master, what will we do now?"
"I think it's a little anxious."
"Is it okay to accept it !?"
"Princess Levia, please give me the magic power. Eleonora, give me [acceleration]"
"Yes, your Majesty"
The ghosts of the Revere princesses, appearing as black flame spears or skulls, hit the corners and try to extinguish even a little momentum.
"Leave it, Vandaloo"
Then Eleonora, who appears from Vandalu, spells attribute magic during [Acceleration]. She, like Luciliano, was parasited with insects on her body and was waiting in Vandalu's body.
Vandaloo, whose time is accelerated by [Acceleration], deepens his thoughts while intercepting the Demon King's horn using [Death Magic].
Seeing this, Luciliano and Belmondo also began to support. Luciliano casts the immortal magic on Immortalent, and Belmond cooperates in deflecting the Demon King's Horn with his favorite thread.
"Bellmond! Why did you betray me ?!"
However, the violence of Tenesia became more intense as the betrayal of his former subordinates became clear. On the contrary, Lu-Ri seems to be close to normal due to his anger, but he has not noticed at all that the mansion was turning into rubble by firing at a corner that was not fully extended.
Belmond returned with a laugh at such an image of his 10,000-year loyalty.
"Even though it is said that" customer ", this new" husband "seems to be very good for me.
Sure, there are benefits that saved lives, but since we have served dogs for 10,000 years, is it enough? "
Some say that the benefits of life are returned in life, but that depends on personal values, ties and relationships.
And Belmond actually served as a [foolish dog] for 10,000 years, so why not just be a traitor?
"This fucking girl! I'll kill all the other light girls together!"
"I'm light ass ...!"
"Yu, I won't forgive you! !
"It was originally a bad mouth, but no ..."
"Oh, just ignore me. If possible, forget about the existence."
At first glance, it looks like an unreliable exchange, but if [Maou no Kaku] hits with just one hit, Luciliano, Belmondo, Eleonora, and Vandaloo will not help. Even the princesses of Revere will vanish if they hit Vandaloo's magic.
No matter how much Tenesia makes a monotonous injection attack, it's hard not to be distracted.
And Tenesia is also in the last minute. Fatal wounds in the situation where neither the magical power nor the mental power consumed in the battle with Heinz has returned. He managed to save his life thanks to his own regenerative power and the Demon King's Horn, but he was forced to continue fighting without unlocking the Demon King's Horn.
I can't use magic because of that. You have no choice but to keep flying and spend enormous magic to shoot out the horns and fight. If you don't always move around, you won't know when you'll be shot with the unknown tube, so you can't use the Petrified Magic Eye.
Also, if you are fighting with your current body, whose bones and muscles have only returned about 30%, you may be damaged by the recoil.
(Soooo! If I could recover at least the torso! Where did my body, such as this guy !?)
If you collect the fuselage and attach the cut surface, Tenesia regrets that she was still able to do something.
It was a hidden fine play that prompted Luciliano to recover her body.
On the other hand, Vandaloo was thinking of seeing Tenesia use the Demon King's fragment.
(I also drank [Demon King's Blood], so I guess I could do the same thing, but it's been more than half a year since then, but there's no such sign.)
(Isn't there a forbidden power? First of all, [the withdrawal of the ghost], I scrutinize my own body .... Oh?)
If you look at yourself with the thoughts you have given Eleonora to [accelerate], you will find a subtle foreign body (?) In your body.
(Gather me, gather me, make me perfect)
I can hear a small voice I don't recognize. Apparently, there is something other than yourself in the body.
What an ... unpleasant.
(Gather me, make me perfect)
[Devil invasion ―――]
(You're part of me. I'm me, I'm me)
(Gather me ... me? I'm me, I ... me? I'll gather me, make me perfect)
(Yes, that's fine)
It's not good for petes to have rabbits, but there is something other than their own in the bones that make up themselves.
Unique skill, [Maou Fusion] has been acquired!
At the same time as hearing the announcement in the brain that he had acquired such skills, he understood how to use [Devil's Blood].
"Die!"
At the right moment, Tenesia's attack pierced the branches of Immortalent, shattering Belmond's thread and approaching.
Vandalou, on the other hand, cut his head with a claw.
"Vandaloo-sama !?"
Eleonora yells at the name of Vandaloo like a scream, but blood spills out of his neck like a fountain.
"" What, what is it? "
In front of Tenesia and Luciliano who scream the same thing strangely, [the devil's horn] is swallowed and swallowed by [the devil's blood] that gushes from Vandalu's neck.
"Why are you a piece of the Demon King? No way Nineland's seal ...?
When Tenesia sees [Demon King's Blood] come to herself without stopping even if she entangles her horn, she tries to escape in a hurry. However, he does not hear what the heavier body says without warning.
"This is, no way ... I'm going to overlook me!
[Demon King's Blood], which is hardened by the clotting action of blood, presses and folds [The Demon King's Horn], which Tenesia has grown, like a twig into her gut.
Tenesia could hear the internal organs burst, feel the death approaching, and talk about something.
(Me, me, join the body. Gather me, make me perfect.)
(I can't host, I can't host, I'm a better inn-join the body. I'm me, I'm me)
The eerie sound of peeling of the raw skin echoed, and the Demon King's Blood returned to the wound of Vandalu while taking in the Demon King's Horn. With only a few bones and internal organs hanging from his neck, Tenesia fell to the underground lake again without any help.
[Demon King's Horn] has been acquired!
[Demon King Fusion], [Mental Erosion], [Deformed Spirit] skills have been raised!
"Okay, I won"
Around Gandall poses Vandaloo, Eleonora and Princess Levia are appalled, Belmond is squeezing her mouth, and Luciliano is somehow moved to tears.
"Now is it good?"
"Well, he seems to have defeated ..."
"It's true that he had a piece of the Demon King, and he would steal [the Demon King's Horn].
"One of the pinnacles of all prohibitions is that you can study the fragment of the Demon King up close! Oh, it's good to be a disciple of a teacher!"
"My stock among the apprentices is rising in a place I can't even imagine, but let's collect the rabbit's experience and materials. It's a secret to my mother to cut off her head "
"Um, your Majesty? Is your body OK?
"No problem"
Vandalou nodded at the worried Princess Levia and Eleonora. The scar on the neck healed, and there was nothing wrong except that he consumed a lot of magic.
"Even if it's a demon shard, it's part of me because it's part of the bones that make up me."
If your dominant hand suddenly has its own intentions and says, "Listen to me now," you'll have to get in the way.
So if you can assimilate, you should assimilate.
"Well, maybe, I think it's good."
"Yes, well, that's right."
Slightly embarrassed, they both seemed confused, but thought they would be convinced that they would be able to use the Demon King's shards in the future, and decided to recover Tennessee.
"Belmond"
"Feared, husband"
The thread flashes and lifts Tenesia from the lake and drops it to the floor.
"Wow"
Surprisingly, with a dark face on his face, Tenesia was still alive.
"Let's collect the petrified evil eye first."
But of course there is no mercy.
"Wait, wait ... stop ... it's too good!
"If you can't transplant a demon eye without dismantling it before you die, you won't have to wait because it's in a forbidden book from the magician guild."
Tendesia, whose eyes were taken by Vandaloo, who was mercilessly dismantling, opened his mouth wide and screamed .... Then Belmond put his finger into his mouth.
"I know you have magic items in your back teeth."
Tenesia looked straight at her former subordinate's pupil, who smiled thinly. And I noticed that Belmondo was becoming another of her former girlfriends.
(This guy ... !! Like his Heinz colleagues, someone other than himself has raised his presence! Who, who ...
Looking around with the remaining eyes, the same thing as Belmond was found in the eyes of Luciliano and Eleonora.
And I was convinced to see Vandaloo's eyes, which I saw last. This is it.
"Is your eye not a demon eye so it's good?"
Now that you have lost the [Devil King's Horn] and the [Devil King Erosion] skill, you can see. The danger of this dumpling. Compared to this guy, [Guide] is not a big deal.
(You can't be killed only by this guy!)
Instinctively instinct or blessing from Jiy shkaka, or Tennessia who fearfully fears, but now literally can't do anything with his hands and feet.
However, she was blessed with bad luck.
"Oh, this is unexpected"
It was at the same time that Vandaloo muttered and the two figures appeared a little further away from the mansion that had become almost a wreck.
"Eleonora !?"
"What is this all about?"
Birkine and Goubamon have transferred to her hideout to leave Tenesia.
Perhaps she was suspicious that she might be giving Dumpel, but she couldn't understand the scene she saw with her own eyes, and suddenly stood up.
It was the same with the Bandarouses, and it was unexpected that there were no other vampires here, and that they would appear together.
"I'm done!"
Tenesia, who exhale Belmondo's finger in the gap, transfers and disappears.
"It runs away from good."
"Obubu !?"
An appropriate worm is inserted into the mouth of Belmondo who reaches out to reach the area where Tennessia disappears reflexively, and it is equipped inside Eleonora and Luciliano together.
As it was, she shot herself as if she was a cannonball, and jumped into a tiny dungeon.
