The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 138: Phantom Zozogante Large Forest Battle
"I want you to wait, mother. I still want to go with the child."
At one point it was a matter of convergence, but Gizania disagreed with it.
"Sure, I misunderstood the gender of Mikoden, but I did want to keep up, and that's true.
And that is the benefit of saving lives. If Mikodo takes on the challenge of succeeding the brave Zachart, I can't help out. ''
To her daughter, Queen Donanellis nodded, "I don't understand my feelings."
"The succession of the hero Zaccato, which has been around for over a hundred years, is a test to determine the return. The challenge has been challenged by a number of heroes, but most have survived but have not died. Not.
And if the beneficiary challenges it, it's reasonable to want to come. ''
"... reasonable?-Well, I know you can't overlook if your benefactor could die."
Basdia tilts his head, but seems to be convinced not only of Queen Donanellis but also of Bakota Magician and other Arachne and Empusa.
"Bassdia, this is a Bushido."
Muse teaches Basdia so. The Bushido that came to Zanarpadna seems to be different from the Bushido on Earth. Perhaps the emphasis is on romance and personality.
"... it's like chivalry?"
Of course, Basdia would not notice such a difference. She apparently interpreted Bushido as similar to chivalry.
"I'm more worried about the difference between the treatment and information inside and outside the border mountain range about" The Trial of Zaccato "... but it's not an atmosphere that I can hear right now."
Outside the Boundary Mountains, "Zacquart's Trial" is a dangerous dungeon in which the challenger has hardly survived other than the "Five-colored Blade". The attacker is said to have the same power as the hero Bellwood, who defeated the fallen hero Zaccato, and is rumored to be the successor to Bellwood.
However, within the Border Mountains, Despite the difficulty of Zaccato Trial, most of the challengers can survive. And the one who captured is not the hero Bellwood, but the successor or return of Zachart.
It's exactly the opposite.
It is not surprising that the capture will be the successor to Bellwood or Zaccato, even if it is different from inside and outside the Border Mountains, as it may have been rumored by nature. However, differences in the survival rate of challengers cannot be explained by different rumors.
It simply cannot be considered that the challengers outside the border mountain range are weak and the challengers inside are strong.
The Trial of Zaccato is a famous dungeon outside the border mountains. Therefore, reckless people who do not respect their own abilities will also try, but other challengers are at least B class, most are A class adventurers or equivalent.
At that level of competence, there should be no inferiority to the hero in the border mountains.
(Is the difference between the races of the challengers the cause? Even considering the Zanarpadna, it seems that races, dwarves, and elves that are not the new races of Vida inside the border mountain range will be so strong.
I want to ask you about the details, because the boy said he would try it ... it would take some time)
Queen Donanellis and Bakota have never spoken of The Trial of Zaccato, because they thought they knew, not only because they were silent, but need not speak.
They are isolated from the outside by the Border Mountains, and they don't know that there is a difference inside or outside of "The Trial of Zaccato."
Because no one knows, no one can say the answer you are asking simply by asking "Why is it different?"
"For now, after this has calmed down."
Zadiris decides to watch the situation.
"I understand your feelings, but I don't think you're going to be confused if you're with Mikoden .... No, if Mikoden likes you, wouldn't it be okay? What about that area?"
"Sure, if Miko likes Gizania, there is no problem even if there is a misunderstanding about the dear necklace."
Is there any one-chan? I'm convinced that Queen Donanellis looks like Bakota.
"No, isn't it really ridiculous? And I heard that there are already a number of princess candidates in the Son, including Basdia."
I would like to follow Vandaloo, but it's not deliberate, but it's tricky, so it's tempting to use it. Also bad for Basdia. Gizania appeals so.
"That's right, but don't worry. Isn't that a monopoly on vans or something like that?-Originally, I heard that Gizanias share their husbands, so there's no problem."
"If there are many people, it's okay if Gizania-chan comes in! Darling is going to have a princess in addition to her concubine, and she's cute!"
And Basdia who says that he doesn't mind such things, and Princess Kuneria who seems to go in the direction of saying that his sister does not give it to anyone.
"I don't usually care about how many people you have?"
Originally as Muses say, in fact, not only Basdia, but also Zadiris and Eleonora had a hunch that Gizania might be. So even if it actually happens, everyone will just think "after all."
And Zadiris doesn't know exactly what Vandaloo thinks about it.
(Because the boy came without refusal to come around. It doesn't seem that he didn't feel anything.)
I think so, but at the same time.
"Well, it's not a problem because it's less than Vigaro."
Basdia's father, Vigaro, has not lost more than a couple of years, surpassing Zadiris. It has been less since Vandaloo has solved the ghoul birthrate problem, but still compared to the old days.
So Zadiris thought it would not be a problem. …… In the case of Vigaro, the situation is supposed to be slightly different because it is not a marriage on the earth or the origin, but a marriage.
"Gizania, the question is, what do you think of the boy? When you've finished giving back to the boy, were you going to think about your gesture, including marriage?
It's just that the other party may be a boy. Even if you confirm the boy's will, the first thing to do is think about it. ''
"What do I think ..."
Gizania asked by Zadiris closes his eyelids and thinks. But originally she had a good feeling for Vandaloo. Besides the strange charm, the opposite sex who described herself as beautiful for the first time.
Gizania has repeatedly trained himself to become a true [Samurai] one day in order to serve the role of her sister, Princess Coonelia, among physically robust large species.
As a result, most had little to do with the men in Zanarpadna, who were engaged in production jobs. The exception is my father.
In the future, she vaguely thought that she would choose from her sisters other than Princess Counelia who lived in the same tower and men whose children were recognized as her husband, who would make a child.
It is not without their charm. Good people, but ...
(Comparing them with Gokoden is still better.)
Gizania has to work harder to keep up with Vandaloo because he's much stronger than himself, but he can stay with him in training. Yes, we can really be together. [Mushimizu] Vandalu can equip Gizania inside the body with the [Mushimi] skill.
But can a boy who used to think that he or she was the same be seen as the opposite sex in the future?
Gizania, with her eyelids open, raised her face and opened her mouth.
"... Huh, is it no good on hold?"
And he said so while looking away.
"Mu, muu, hetare there or my daughter."
"It's like Gizania-chan ... What about the muse?"
"Isn't it okay to be there? I'm hoping you'll be able to put it near Mikoden."
Muse, who was spoken, was light in contrast to Gizania.
"Mikoden is a hideaway, and may be able to turn into a big frog in the future, the one closest to Ninja! There is no one who says that a certain discipline will be faster if you are nearby.
And there are some 70 already. I was going to make a child before riding the hundred hills, so it was just good. Mikoden first looked so expressionless and difficult to associate, but she was like a good temper.
However, I would like to ask if Mikoden likes a certain thing.
"Musee, is it okay to split it like that?"
"Mr. Gizania, a certain degree is the standard of Zanarpadna. The relationship like Princess Counelia and Prince Budarion is rather an exception."
Anyway, it is a polygamy where the husbands are shared by the women who live in the same tower. Of course, you can't freely let the man you want. Often, you have to choose a child to choose from among men selected by women other than yourself.
"Is that so!?"
"Gizania, Darling and the concubine are special. The concubines met-
"That's a rabbit, it's better to confirm Van's intention as soon as possible. I think I know the answer."
"That's right, but the answer is mostly predictable."
"... I'm a little worried now, right?"
"Let's see the queen for the time being by saying engagement."
Later, when he knew that Gender had misunderstood the gender from everyone, including the response of Prince Budalion, Vandaloo was always more dead and asked for accurate information about `` Dear Necklace, '' As expected, he replied, "If they are OK, thank you in the future."
"Don't be scared! Only three opponents!"
"Let's push it by number! The magician doesn't break the art!"
"Guh ah! It's impossible, no matter how much you surround it, you won't be a partner!"
The ghoul nation was in danger of dying when Bughitas pulled soldiers from other battlefields and decided to focus his efforts on capturing Zanarpadna and eradicating Budalion.
The country of Ghoul is entirely within the D-class dungeon, Zozogante Forest.
This dungeon is a dungeon created by Zozogante, the guardian of their race, for the low birth rate ghouls.
The ghouls, whose physical and reproductive abilities have become more active by living inside the dungeon than living in the evil spirits, have maintained the scale that can be called a country even 100,000 years later.
Even so, unlike Zanarpadna's E-class dungeon, "The Field Without the Shell", it is dangerous and cannot afford to feed the people.
Therefore, the people are almost ghoul and the population is about 5,000.
It is the least populous country around Zanarpadna.
However, it was a small but affluent country where the warriors finished training themselves and then hunted on the ground to gain daily food in dungeons and survive outside.
It was Budirud's army led by "The Wild Spear Boar", one of the best spear users under Bugitas.
Budiludo, a rank 9 noble orc high general, is a warrior who wields a spear made from the tusks of the prominence mammoth, a monster he once defeated. Not just personal Takei. He was also known as an excellent commander who managed his subordinates.
The ghouls had a good fight ahead of his hundreds of elites, consisting of Noble Oak, Hygoblin and Haikobold, but had repeatedly withdrawn to lower floors.
"Noooooo! Stop it anyway! Don't let any more do it!"
"Protect the chief! Warriors, show your will!"
"Is it handing women!"
Unlike ghouls outside the border mountain range, where skill levels and types are insufficient, ghouls in "Zozogante's Great Forest" that can be changed jobs rank stably up to rank 5 if they become skilled warriors Can be up.
He did not have good blacksmithing skills, but he recovered items from treasure chests found in dungeons and armed them.
As a result, they were protected by a small but powerful set of warriors. Even with a rank 6 Noble Orc opponent, Ghouls who have both a job and a rank can play five minutes if they are one-on-one. For the 5,000 ghouls, only a few hundred were led by Budirud. It was never going to be a fight against the ghouls.
But Budilud and his army were strengthened by some force. It was at a level that was more obvious than the effects of the Conduct and Cooperation skills.
And because the ghouls live in dungeons, they were unable to build the fortified walls of Zanarpadna. There is no problem if it is about a house, but as for the kind of walls that can not be demolished easily and can not be easily broken, only Vandaloo with [Labyrinth Construction] skill can be built.
That being said, the battle in the confined space of the dungeon, even in the shape of a forest, was in favor of a small army led by Budirud.
In addition, Budilud was a man who had led the army in retreating a runaway dungeon that had previously occurred, and had commanded an unusual large group in the Border Mountains to fight against a large number of enemies.
The ghouls who withdrew from such enemies repeatedly and were driven down to the tenth level prepared for a decisive battle.
"Gee oh oh!"
"Budilud ... Why the warriors like you ... Well, I don't want to hear anymore. Although you are a rebel, you are a warrior who has supported the empire. He has served well until now.
"That's no good! I can't stand it!"
"... Budalion, the spirit of Budirud is behind you."
But before the decisive battle, Bandaruds attacked Budilud's army from behind.
After hearing from the spirits of Bubourin that the ghoul nation is being invaded, Vandaloo and others who invaded while instantly killing surveillance units placed along the way enter the entrance of `` Zozogante Forest '' and stand still , With a few more elites than the army of Budirud.
You can instantly understand the structure of the hierarchy you stepped in, and you can further change the interior of the dungeon. [Labyrinth Construction] With the skill of Vandaloo, Budirud's army is divided and chased into a state where it can not exert its original power Was.
It was also kicked off by Volks, Vigaro, and Zadiris by Basdia, the Boneman, and Prince Budarion, who had regained his arms and eyes.
The Budirudes were all fortified by skill effects unknown to the Vandaloos, but the Volks were also fortified by Guidance: Mage. And the effect of the reinforcement was greater for the Volks.
If this were on the ground, not a dungeon, and Budirud was led by more than a thousand troops rather than hundreds of elites, he might have missed a few enemies.
However, since the battlefield was in the dungeon, no one was able to get rid of it.
It was fortunate to be able to delay the transmission of information to the Boogietas, which are probably still struggling in the Noble Oak Empire.
"Bum, was that so?"
"Do you [visualize]? I'll be able to talk."
"No, let's stop. In that situation, conversation will not be established much."
"I don't think so. It looks unnatural and calm now. "
Budilud continued his fight, raising his beastly roar, just before being defeated by Prince Budalion. According to Prince Budarion, he seemed to be a calm general, but only in Bhandarou looked like a bloodthirsty Berserker.
However, he was stabbed to death by Prince Budalion's magic sword, and apparently regained his senses as soon as he became spirit.
"I'm sorry for exposing my guilt. Emperor Bugitas ... I was captivated by the power of Bugitas, but lost his reason in exchange for the original power of the monster. "
He is a post-mortem man who commanded his subordinates in bark-like Oak language, abused Prince Budalion with unspeakable words, and gave Basdia and Eleonora a nasty scorn.
... Isn't that usually the opposite? The spirit of the dead is more emotional than the living.
Vandaloo was so confused that he stopped breaking Budilud's soul.
But it's not just Budirud who returned to his insanity as soon as he died. All his men were like beasts before birth, but as soon as they died, they regained their reason.
"Perhaps the Budirudes, who were under the influence of some of the powers of Bougitas or Lavovifado, were released by dying and returned to their original personality under the influence of the Lord?
"I didn't know that Bugitas had such skills, perhaps given by Lavovifard.
After all, is it the same guiding skill as Mikoden? If it is , I can nominate that a man like Budirude was misled. ''
Immediately after the operation of transplanting his arms and eyes, Prince Budarion was not under the influence of Vandaloo's Guide. But now it is under influence.
Apparently, after the surgery, Vandaloo was recognized by Prince Budarion.
And just like Prince Budalion, his loyal fellows were under the influence of Guidance: Mage.
"If it were guidance, what would it be?
"Let's eat it like burned"
"A mammoth skewered, Van"
"Wow, I'll have you
Vandalou thought for a while, but gave priority to appetite instead of winning yakiniku.
It is a mammoth meat that Budirude has used as a horseback ride, and Eisen and Basdia are skewered and grilled.
There are no dinosaurs on the ground around the land of Zanarpadna or Ghoul, but mammoths and saber tigers appear to be exactly like them.
The mammoth was not a giant elephant whose whole body was covered with fur, as imaged by Vandaloo, but an appearance of an African elephant growing.
The mammoth in the warmer region was surprised by the Legion Enma when told that there was no long fur.
It is a luxurious ingredient following rabbits and dinosaur meat.
The Vandalu who bites on the skewers he receives, chews the meat, chews it, and tastes it.
"The sauce made from the iron apple of Aizen is effective, and the smell of the meat is suppressed and it is soft. The baking condition is just right, and the more you chew it, the more the umami overflows in your mouth and it is very delicious. "
I was busy masticating, so I did [peel off] and expressed my impression. Eisen and Basdia were pleased with a high touch.
"It looks good even with a hamburger or teriyaki, but the meat is generally harder, so it may be good for steaks. How did you eat in Zanarpadna?"
"Because the meat quality is hard, we often use mammoth meat for stewed dishes. I prefer raw food."
"If you hunt a mammoth, you will eat it raw."
"... or sashimi?"
Zadiris asks the Gizanians how to use mammoth meat, but the answer is wilder than expected.
"By the way, Vandalu-sama, why don't you stop? Vigaro has been rampant unilaterally since a while ago."
Eleonora pointed to where Vigaro was comparing arms with a Ghoul warrior and a magician.
After defeating Budirude, the ghouls of "Zozogante Forest" thanked them for helping, and were enthusiastic about the effects of Vandaloo's "Ghoul King" and "Vida Son" etc. Entered a feast to celebrate victory using military flesh.
"What happened !? Come more! Pick up your weapons and get up! In such a case, you can't protect the girls and kids!"
"Bumoo ... I don't have to be a boss because I'm a wife ..."
"Grandmaster, I think one or two people can go after it is worthwhile."
And the local men challenge the local women's team to Vigaro and the Goba orcus, and Vigaro receives it pleasantly, and at some time Vigaro unilaterally joins a large number of 'Zozogante Forest' men The development of slashing continues.
Precisely, Vandaluo also mote, but Basdia and Zadiris were next to them and when they heard that it was `` Van is not the age to make children '', so Vigaro and Goba were mote instead It is.
By the way, Volks who does not appear in this place was trying to solo capture of "Zozogante Forest", saying "I will capture time to kill time". Maybe after a while I will clear and come back without difficulty.
"Well, it's okay. But let's say that you don't hurt your back. Rather, you'll have to call Kasim and Zeno the next time you return to Tarosheim."
"It may be natural because it's" Ghoul King, "but Goko, how about saying it at your age?"
"Age ... Speaking of which, how old is Prince Budalion?"
"Is it? I have 15 in this year."
Prince Budalion, three meters tall, replied.
Noble Oak grew up at the age of ten, so he wasn't young at the age of fifteen.
Job commentary: Dark fighter
[Assassin] A job where a job experienced person can get. [Assassination], [Fighting], [Dagger], [Breakthrough], and general skills required for scouting can be corrected.
Skill explanation: Assassination
Skill that can be compensated mainly for the killing power of attacks performed at the time of sudden hit. It can also be used effectively when concealing dark equipment in clothes and armor and using it.
Demon commentary: Heikobolt
A monster created by evil gods as a high-class species of Kobolt like Hygoblin.
It is about the average race and looks like an upright wolf at first glance.
The elementary rank is 5, and even if you do not have a weapon, you can fight with claws and fangs with your [martial arts] skills and you can not be careless.
He is good at cooperating with his peers, and he has intelligence that has developed like humans. However, unlike Hygoblins and Noble Orcs, the lower races in the group are regarded as members of the same group, and are not treated as slaves.
It is much less reproductive than regular Kobolts, producing one or two children at a time and becoming an adult in five to six years.
However, if there is even one Hicobolt, it will form a strong fighting group following Kobolt. Therefore, it is designated as a disaster designated species in the Adventurer's Guild.
