The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Casim swings Mace to the side of Yokonagi, stunningly seeing Vandalou blowing away with lighter resistance than expected.

Eleonora, Basdia, and Kachia inadvertently forgot to see Vandaloo rolling with his gurgling.

"Oh, I was surprised."

And Vandalu rises with Mukuri.

"Oh, are you okay to be surprised?"

"Vandaloo-san, you didn't hit your back !?"

Kasim, Eleonora, and Kachia rush up. But Vandaloo got up quickly, without coughing.

"I don't have any problems in particular.

Vandalu had not suffered a single scar, and only a little dust left his armor and shield intact. His arms are not numb and his breathing is not painful.

"I didn't expect it to roll to the ground. I raised my arm, Kasim."

"Oh !? Oh, the power to blow me out of Vandalu ...?"

"It doesn't look so much. Did you get any unique skills?"

"That's great, but I didn't look like my arm was up."

Kasym stares at his arm with a serious and mace, and Eleonora and Kachia look suspicious. Basdia, who had been silent until then, opened his mouth.

"Kassim doesn't have any special power. Of course I think it's growing fast, but it's just the lightness of the van that blows it away with a single shot."

"""light?"""

"Yes, because it's light."

Basdia began explaining to them.

First, Vandalu is strong. You can gobble the iron plate with a swipe of a claw and use a skill to break it. However, a boy who is not nine years old yet. And he is clearly smaller and thinner than a boy of the same age.

If you have more power, you should gain more muscle and gain weight, but in the case of Vandaloo, it seems that almost all of the [power] skills are used.

And the liquid metal armor made of copper, which Vandalo wears now, and the shield made of [the Demon King's Shell] are much lighter than they seem to be mobile.

"And Casim shook his arm from below rather than from the top to hit the Mace against Van's shield, lowering it slightly below, which would have caused Van to fly easily."

Basdia concludes with his arms crossed under his chest. Kassim said, "Wait a minute."

"We took a few lessons from Vandaloo in the reclamation village, but at that time I didn't think it was light."

"Kassim, I didn't have a shield at that time. I didn't get attacked by the Qassims."

"Oh, sure !! But wasn't Pester's sword parrying at the claw peak?"

"Speaking of that ..."

In the pioneer village of the Duke of Hartner, Kasim, and Vandalou trained on an avant-garde, but avant-garde, feather. At that time, he had no armor, not just a shield, but he was basically evading Kassim's attacks.

However, several times he had washed away his sword with his claws.

"It's because Van had parryed the attack and the power in it, and would he be moving without stopping at that time?"

"I see. If you are moving, your own power will counter the attack."

"This time, I stopped my feet and received Mace's attack from the front, especially from the side, which is easy to transmit power, so did Vandaloo blow away?"

In the words of Eleonora and Kathia, Kasim and Vandaloo nodded enough to explain Basdia.

Until now, Vandaloo basically relied on the barriers of death-based magic, the walls of the golems, and his highly defensive allies when attacking.

Instead of relying on them several times, I trained against a monster such as a goblin in training, but at that time Vandaloo was moving around actively, and many of the attacks received were spears and swords, and even if hit, Meat was only pierced or cut in the field, not enough to blow away the body.

It was only when he was deliberately received a noble orc sword of Bugoghan that he was heavily stripped.

"I see. Vandalu is still small, so if you're not the same kid or goblin, you'll probably swing down from above unless you kick before, so I don't think the same thing will happen."

If you attack from the top, you can withstand it with a shield if you step on the ground.

However, if the attack is like scooping up from below, it will be easier for you to lose your position even with a shield.

Well, there shouldn't be any other situations where Vanderlu does not use magic and goes away from his peers in combat, except for training.

"But I'm light ... I didn't notice until now."

"Yes ... but, if you look back, isn't it a lifted by various people?-I was picked up by a Volks man like a cat just before."

As Kassim says, Vandaloo is very easily lifted by various people. Volks, sister Pouvina, the noble orc half, and Basdia and Eleonora, who are now together, also hold Vandalu and hold it aside.

"Sure, but they all have [strong] skills and they are bigger than me.

So they seemed to have thought that they were not light, but everyone was strong, or because they were adults.

"For the time being, refrain from using horizontal strikes until you get used to it, and switch to the top attack. Be careful not to lose your position. Van should use the roundness of the shield instead of catching it with a shield. And.

I don't think there's a one-on-one fight where magic can't be used, but just get used to it. ''

"Yes"

Until his nineteenth birthday, Vandalu continued to be attacked daily by Casim, Eleonora, and Basdia.

While dancing in the air several times.

And the return was somehow lifted and carried by Katya.

"Can I walk on my own?"

"It's good, I've never lifted it when I realized it, so let's take this opportunity!"

[Shielding], [Armoring] skills acquired!

But Vandaloo is also a king of a country. I'm not training all day.

In addition, he divided and handled paperwork, participated in coordination and rehabilitation of Zandia and Gina, participated in training for Black Goblin Ninja, along with Rion of the original "Ring King" who turned into a dragon zombie and the boner who was the rider He is busy moving around and patrolling the swamps.

"King has surprisingly free time."

"Because it is His Majesty. I and I work hard every day ... The training of the newly established Knights of the Dark Night, the Knights of the Black Cow, and the Knights of the Dragon Scale ...

"Her Majesty, can you say a word to this tireless undead. Your brother is a living person."

A vandaloo that divides and multiplies as many spirit bodies as it wants for hands and heads is equivalent to a group of dozens of clerks alone. That is why the rulers of one country, still small, can secure plenty of free time.

Cesare had also demonstrated his ability as an excellent service clerk since his birth, but became undead and felt no physical fatigue. And when you're doing a job like a shogun, you can work with tremendous concentration.

And Kurt, who is associated with it, is a commander who was recognized for his solid work, but he is a person who usually needs sleep and meals.

He is also a soldier, so he can do some work, but he can't always work without being able to work every day.

The trained knights and soldiers are undead or monsters, so they can withstand longer hours of work than Kurt.

"Kurt, Cesare forgets quickly when it comes to work, so you have to take a rest on your own."

"That's right, your Majesty, it's hard to say that your subordinate is resting while your boss is working."

"……That may be the case"

Even in the case of Vandalu, even though he is busy, no one is bothered because it is all entertainment. But in the case of Cesare, it's completely business, so it's not surprising that Kurt, his direct reporter, doesn't mind.

"I have to implement a paid vacation system."

He was paying attention to the blackening of the working environment, but he may be still sweet. From now on, living people will have more jobs in management positions. Unless the working environment for managers is in place.

Cesare told Vandalu, who decided to do so.

"Understood. Please tell us about your Majesty's paid leave system, and then document it, examine it, and decide on the administrative department.

"Your majesty has more work."

"Huh?"

It was a bit overwhelming, but if the paid leave system becomes more tightly managed, Kurt's working environment should improve, so it will be a bit patient.

And as always, in the time between work and training, Vandaloo was trying to produce a new magic metal refinement using silver and gold ingots obtained in the B-class dungeon "Lane's Nest".

"It doesn't work."

"I'm going to disappear"

"What should I say?"

"I don't know."

It was only last year that we got silver and gold, but unlike dead iron and copper, which are made by immersing the magic of the dead attribute in iron and copper, magic metal made of silver and gold is still successful. I didn't.

For some reason, if the magic power is immersed to some extent, the gold and silver will disappear.

"It's not at all. Where did it go?"

Pauvina touches the place where the silver nugget should have been, with petapeta and a large hand, but there is only a floor.

Basdia's mother, Ghoulwizard Zadiris, and the profession team leader, Ghoulhiartisan Tale, did not know why the silver lumps disappeared, even as a magician and craftsman.

"If you stop the magic before it disappears, it will be just silver or gold. So I think that disappearing is a change as magic metal."

"Is there a magic metal that disappears?"

"In the first place, there are not so many kinds of magic metal."

Orichalcum that only the gods can purify. Flexible and repairable Damascus steel, whose refining methods have been conveyed only to a limited number of dwarves, and two-tops, Mythril and Adamantite, famous as magic metal. Obsidian iron can be made by a good blacksmith.

That's it for general magic metal. There are other magical metals that are particularly strongly affected by the magical power of a particular attribute, but are rarely known in general because they are rare.

In the first place, magic metals are created in environments where ordinary metals and minerals are immersed in magic, and are produced over a long period of time. It's nothing new than Obsidian, an alloy made from existing magic metal, and Damascus steel, which is said to have a way to make it.

It's something that can only be done by Vandalou, who can accelerate the inanimate time of the target with magical magic and [age] magic that is out of common sense.

"But there is a difference between how silver and gold disappear? Silver disappears suddenly, but gold disappears sometime while you take your eyes off."

"That's right. At first I thought if someone moved it ..."

There was no way that the bullion could escape on its own, so I thought that someone had brought it, but he was missing because there was no such situation.

"Pipipigi"

Suddenly, a white object with Vandalu's back in it rang.

"Hmm? Quinn, do you know anything?"

What a white object was a larva of the queen bee of Semetary Bee, which grew slickly and glossy, named Quinn.

She basically doesn't move like a queen bee larva. It is usually equipped in Vandalu, but sometimes comes out this way.

"Piggy, Kikiki, Pipigigigi"

"Humuumu"

"... Why can the boy understand Quinn's words? I talked to Pete a hundred feet before."

"Is that a word in the first place? I hear every" piggy "the same way."

"It's probably due to aging."

"What ?! Zadiris, you are about 30 years older than me!"

In fact, both of them have been [juvenile] in their mid-teens and late-teens physical ages, respectively.

"Since both Quinn and Pete were smart, they said that combining the screams with the angle of the face and the movement of the tentacles would give you a rough idea of what you want to say."

While Pauvina teaches the two who are developing into a barren dispute, Vandaloo seems to know what Quinn wants to convey.

"What did Lapiesage collect?"

Looking at them, Lapiesage, who usually stays with Pauvina, seems to be looking for something in the corner of the workshop in Vandalu.

"Wow"

And laughed happily if he found something, and picked it up.

"Lapi, wait a minute, show it before eating!"

Pauvina rushes to stop Rapièsage, trying to eat something that shines golden.

The stopped Lapiesage alternately looked at the tiny golden objects in his large hands and Pauvina.

"... Hanbun, this"

"Thank you!"

"... No, isn't that the case?"

In front of Zadiris, who put the tsukkomi, Rapièsage grabbed the gold object with his finger and broke it in half.

Upon receiving it, Pauvina shows the half-sized object to everyone.

"……Money?"

"It looks like gold."

The color of the object is the golden glow that has fascinated people since ancient times. However, the object is crawling on Pauvina's palm for some reason trembling.

When expressed like a golden amoeba or lambda, it looks like a golden slime.

"It feels harder than it looks. In addition, the coldness of the metal makes it heavier than it looks. Is this golden?"

And when Zadiris touched it, the object had both metallic coolness and weight.

"Is this a golden that changed with the magic of death?"

Vandalou speculates while poking at the object that is wriggling between Zadiris's fingers.

While examining the life-sensing technique while thinking that Vandalu himself was such an idiot, there was a life reaction from the object.

Apparently, this is not just wrigging, but alive.

Is there any living metal? I thought so, but Talia said, "It's possible."

"In the magic metal, there is a metal that is said to have a soul. It is said that it is a soul steel, and it is possible to make intelligent weapons by hitting weapons."

"It seems like there are various theories. Do you stay in the original or do you stay at the moment you armed?

In addition, Ice Age, a spear of Orichalcum whose boy broke his soul before. Is that a living metal? "

Apparently, it is not strange that the magic metal is alive.

"Ahmu"

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

"It's delicious ..."

Lapiesage has just eaten half of that living magic metal. Apparently, it looks delicious.

"Can you eat that living magic metal?"

"I wouldn't normally be able to eat it. There seems to be a story that the dragon swallowed it ..."

"It's amazing, Van-sama! I'm making the world's first edible metal!" ... I don't know how amazing it is.

"The original is a gold nugget."

Invention of delicious metal that can be eaten. Indeed, it's the world's first. However, it is troubled to be asked "So?"

If this is earth or stone, it is a great invention. Nutrition could eradicate hunger from around the world.

However, the material is a gold nugget.

If you can just eat it, no one will try to eat the gold of high value. You might eat if you are too rich.

No matter how delicious, the demand is very limited?

"Well, why not try it now?"

"Yes, let's eat for the time being."

"Pegee"

"No, I don't think it's not bad for you to eat and taste good."

"If you use [Disinfection], the bad parts of the body will disappear, so it's okay."

After that, it was delicious when everyone ate it separately. The taste is neither sweet nor bitter, neither hot nor sour, but it feels good. It may contain unknown amino acids.

"Oh, I feel like I get experience when I eat it."

"Sugo-I just raised the level!"

"This is really amazing!"

And for some reason, it was an experience value. Is it still alive?

"So boy, can you see this gold spirit?"

"No, it doesn't."

But while living, no spirit came out.

For the time being, this living gold was named raw gold.

By the way, the whereabouts of silver seems to be unknown to Lapiesage, and it is still unknown.

A terrifying group was progressing through the extension of the swamp at night.

"GROoo ..."

At the forefront is a skeleton and a boner in armor, riding on the back of a former "Ring King" Rio that resembles a giant crocodile and turned into a dragon zombie.

"Burururu"

"Gurrup"

Following that are the new Black Cow Knights, which are made up of members of the Milky Shield Knights, who have turned into zombies, and the newly formed Knights of the Dragon Scale.

They were riding a magical horse, a demonized horse, that could run in marshlands without any problems with the [bad road driving] skill.

However, now the Demon Horse ranks up and is another monster.

The Black Cow Knights are riding a bicorn, a ferocious ferocious horse-shaped monster with rank 4 poisoned horns. It is one size bigger than a demon, has more strength and durability than it looks, and is a ferocious monster that even makes brown bears a prey.

The Knights of the Ryrinshi drive a black horse with bright red eyes. It is also rank 4, but it is a nightmare horse that has acquired the [air driving] skill. The physique and strength are the same as the Demon Horse, but the ability to run in the sky has greatly increased mobility.

Both are unusual, and they are monsters that do not make a herd when they say they are horses. For this reason, there is no country that operates as a knight.

"No abnormality. Isn't there a demon coming from outside ... "

`` Boneman, monsters basically won't come to places that aren't suitable for habitation, unless you're starving too much or driven by an enemy. ''

The zombie knight of the Knights of the Black Cow replied sorry to the boner who muttered unfortunately.

"But it's boring just to look around, though it's also training. I haven't cut anything today. "

The boner accompanied Vandalu's excursion to the Duke of Sauron, but returned to work on Rio's back to guard the swamps.

But the swamps were peaceful enough to doubt the need for security. There is almost no dangerous monster except Lizardman because Lizardman originally used it. Monsters rarely invade from the outside, as Zombie Knight explained.

One step outside the city walls, the city of Tarosheim, where demons of rank 3 or higher are wandering, is much more dangerous.

For this reason, boners spend their days riding horse-riding dragons. If you do this, your arm will be dull.

But the cause was under his ass.

"The bone man, why don't you get off Rio?

"Yes. There must be no monsters who like and approach the places where high-ranked undead regularly appear, such as Rio. '

`` If you look at a giant goblin, you'll run away ''

That was because other monsters escaped, fearing Rio's appearance and smell.

Rio is a 10-year-old Great Mad Dragon. Despite being weakened as a result of being a zombie, he still dives into the B-level dungeon, "Ling King's Nest," and regains his power to rank 8.

The rank 8 is the same because the bones have also been upgraded, but again the appearance is different. The bone man looks like a skeleton in armor, but the appearance resembling a giant Rio and a crocodile is impressive.

The corruption has been stopped by the magic of Vandalou, but the monster with a sharp sense of smell sniffs a slight smell and detects the presence of a dragon zombie.

As a result, the monster disappears from where Rio goes. ...... Rank 1 monsters such as catfish and giant frogs are wandering around with a calm face, but instinctively judge that Rio doesn't mind the lowest demons in their sight. Because it is.

Goblins escape around the ferocious ogre, but ants do not.

"Well, but what comes down from Rio given by the Lord is ..."

However, the boner was reluctant to get off Rio, but his voice remained unchanged.

For bone people, Rio is a long-awaited dragon zombie from Vandaloo. She finds time and brushes her scales and fangs, and she loves her.

"GROoo"

Of course, Riot always has some vague eyes, and it is unknown whether the love of the bone man can be understood.

"And that would put the territory of the Lord at risk to distract boredom ..."

"If so please be patient. When you're done looking around, you'll be on vacation. I hope you get your best in the dungeon. ''

"Yuyu ..."

The reluctant boners remain silent and concentrate on the watch. As soon as the loose exchange ended, the sounds of the hooves and sniffs of the bicorns and nightmare horses were all but heard.

However, suddenly the bicorns began to bite the fangs as if they were excited.

"This is the smell of blood!

"A monster fought near?

It is not uncommon for demons to fight. However, it is rare that the smell of blood remains forever. The splattered blood and pieces of meat will also be eaten by insects and low-grade monsters that exist in the evil spirits.

And in the eyes of the undead bones who could see the spirit, the spirit of the orc was reflected. Immediately, it lost its shape and disappeared as if it returned to the ring of Rinne.

"Oak near such swamp? It's my first time

"Zyu, the spirit has disappeared, but something may remain. Find the area

He searched around and found that the corpse of the oak had been recovered by someone, and found a piece of broken sword and a few remaining pieces of oak-like flesh. And it was the footprint of a giant insect that continued to the south.

"What's going on in the south? Zhu ... I have to report to the Lord. "

A circular pool-shaped container installed in a vantage point of a vandalous workshop.

From the flesh-colored liquid that fills it, organs like arms, legs, and head stretch out and collapse repeatedly.

A mysterious wriggling flesh that was created as a result of Vandaloo trying to revive Darussia and running an imperfect resuscitation device.

It is a mysterious entity that lives for some reason but has no spirit or soul.

At first he was keen to observe that Luciliano might be the birth of a new life, but nothing changed beyond wriggling, and now only Pauvina's younger group and Vandaloo are feeding on carcasses for prey.

But then suddenly his hand extended from the chunk of meat.

――

For the first time, the chunk of meat that makes a willing move extends his arm out of the pool. And I grabbed something on the floor.

Then something shining in silver appeared in my hand. Something of that silver ... A flesh that grabbed a silver lump that was transformed into an unknown magic metal with the magic of the death attribute of Vandaloo, pulled back his arm and buried the silver lump in himself.

And wriggling like hot water boiling more …… it stopped working.
