The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Several striking events have taken place this January, when Cuako Lux, a former Amid nobleman who fled to Tarosheim, entered a new year.

The first thing that happened was that the baron was officially awarded by Emperor Vandaloo. Not only Quoco, but all the other exiles nobles, were given a baron for the time being. …… Actually, it is still a job offer.

Apparently, in his premortal life, and even before that, he lived a governing system that Cuocco could not understand, with no aristocracy. Partly, Vandaloo didn't feel the need to recruit him in Tarosheim, which originally had no aristocracy, and no one had recently sought a crown.

So he seems to have put off the decision to hire.

However, he seemed to have been persuaded by his presidency, Cesare, and his current boss, Kurt.

For a nobleman, the title is not only a matter of honor, power, and wealth, but also an important factor in ensuring the status and life of descendants. By assuring that, the loyalty of the aristocrats who had fled was strengthened, and it was said that they were needed as a material to encourage the nobility of other countries to convert.

And Vandalu nodded, "Well, I've been to the world for a second generation member of the Diet or a family of high-ranking bureaucrats."

Some opponents said that the power of some emperors was taken away by the newcomers, but it seemed to have disappeared soon after being persuaded that the ruler of the country would not be able to do anything just to admit his rank. Kuoko agrees.

For him who had given up on inheriting the title, the title isn't worth it.

More impressive than that was the cake.

"My Majesty, isn't that a stable supply of cakes loaded with that white, fluffy cream thing is necessary in this country? No, no!

"Cuoko, have you ever come this far to sue?"

Vandaluh listens to Cuoco, emphasizing the Vetuvuvu's nest of the Cemetery Bee with its humming sound.

"I like cake, Kuoko-kun"

Pauvina said in a crisp tone.

At the six-year-old birthday party he had just greeted, he recalls the excitement of the Kuoko family who ate the cut cake.

"Um, but that's not all. I've always been interested in this place."

Cuocco, who doesn't mind being called by a girl about nine years old in race terms, was brilliant when she saw the busy moving Cemetery Bee around and the farm attached to the nest.

"In the ordinary city, this is very hard to get. Most of them are already dried and candied. If you want fresh, you can sign a professional merchant, I have to go to the countryside by myself, so high quality ingredients.

However, in Tarosheim, sweet stir-fried, skewered, and unfried fried chicken are sold at the stalls as a taste of the common people. The secret is here! "

"It's not bothersome! You'll be surprised at the bugs, but keep quiet!

A screaming quark, Bebeckett of "Mushi Army" ... A patchwork zombie with the soul of Bebeckett rebuked him.

Her corpse was crushed by Erwin's head, and because of the parasites before it, too many muscles and internal organs were missing, making it unusable as a zombie.

For this reason, he created a new body using materials carefully selected by Vandaloo and Luciliano.

By the way, the souls of Rickert and Erwin have been devoured by Vandaloo and extinguished after spitting information. Rabbits had the ability to be undead and reused because of their personality problems. Elvin, in particular, may be able to sacrifice himself and his peers as if he were to act.

Even if he died and was fascinated by Vandaloo, his personality did not change significantly immediately.

Of course, it would be good to take the time to correct it, or brainwash with [Mental Erosion] skills ... but in the end, Vandalou couldn't find them worth the trouble. By the way, I couldn't get any skills by eating soul. As was the case with the angel of God, no matter how strong, even if eaten by the human soul, nothing would be gained.

Bebeckett, who was found to be different in value and given a special body, does what they do here: beekeeping and insect cultivation.

Cemetery Bee has long been hunting for caterpillars and non-monstrous or low-ranking bee monsters, splitting them into Vandaloos, and selling them to restaurants in Tarosheim.

In the Cemetery Bee's nest, Bebekett, an insect hunter who had been beekeeping before his birth, began breeding, not just hunting and gathering.

This has enabled a stable supply of fresh insects, and in the city, high-quality food bees have become a more popular taste in Tarosheim.

"Kukikuki, we are raising plump caterpillars and bee cubs for His Majesty, Vuvuv ... it's not going to get in the way."

Bebeket that plays the [Devil's Arthropod] transplanted on the side and the wings of a monster transplanted on the back. Kuoko did not intend to offend her, so she apologized immediately.

"Is it so expensive?"

Vandalu asked calm Cuoko so. Even in Japan, bees were considered a high-end ingredient, but I thought that they were below A5 rank Matsuzaka beef, Kobe beef, caviar and truffles.

But that was exactly the case, as did Cuoco and Luciliano, who had been silently observing Bebeckett and admitting his notes.

"Naturally, it's hard to find living things in urban areas, and even non-monster bees can be dangerous."

"If you're a D-class adventurer or less, several people die every year after being stabbed and stabbed by a wasp. Collecting just a beehive that's not a monster gives you more rewards than hunting an oak or a huge bore. Be careful when you enter. ''

Apparently, there are dangerous hornets in this lambda world. Moreover, in some cases even adventurers seem to die.

"If you are a C-class or higher adventurer, it is easier and more efficient to hunt monsters, so you do not look at them because it is troublesome to catch live animals. And wasps are dangerous, but unlike monsters they do not attack people in the dark In addition, unlike monsters that can be hunted at any time of the year if you enter the Makai, there is a season.

On the other hand, there seems to be some hornet hunter E-class adventurers who are familiar with wasp capture and make money by selling them. ''

"Because wealthy people, such as aristocrats, tend to eat less insects, it is not always possible to sell high-end foods at high prices. So large-scale cultivation of edible bees is usually unprofitable. It's about a teacher. "

"... It looks like they're both fit."

"Breath is perfect."

They were told by Vandalu and Pauvina, but they passed through without much concern, "Well, that's a rabbit." Apparently, they are not very interested in each other.

"So Kuoko came to see the insect farm?"

"Oh, that's my main goal. I have a new cooking idea that uses bee larvae. I'm thinking of making it a side business."

It seems that she intends to make money on a regular basis this time, probably because her house has gone to just before the financial collapse.

"But everyone asked me to ask me when I could get the crown."

Kuoko says "everyone" refers to the nobles who fled Talosheim from the occupying forces when Vandaloo abducted Duke of Malmo.

"Even if I was asked, I would have to ask the teacher himself."

"It still seems hesitant, considering what you did to the Duke of Malmo ..."

"Van, what did you do?"

Pauvina blinks strangely, wondering if the meaning of the meaningful quaco has come to mind.

"Besides performing human experiments"

"I don't do anything except human experiments."

"Well, isn't it strange that you don't talk to me though it's normal?"

"I see."

Pauvina and Vandalu are leaning together. As a result, the face of the squeaky coco was a bit cramped. He asks Luciliano, "Do you really mean that?", But when you answer, "I'm serious about Pauvina," she looked up at a three-meter girl looking at terrible objects.

The Duke of Malmö, whose head was peeled off by Islay and abducted, and his vassal who persecuted the new races and people of Vida, were not killed there, but were killed in a workshop under the Royal Castle. Used for experimental materials.

The theme is, "What happens if the raw parts of [Demon King's fragment] generated by Vandaloo are transplanted to living humans?"

It is convenient if it becomes possible to transpose the undiluted solution of [blood], the transplantation of [blood], the breast transplantation with [fat], and so it will be convenient, so Vandalou and Luciliano thought to try.

The result was a successful torture to afflict the subject.

The subjects of the Duke of Malmo who were transplanted alive with the product of the Demon King's Fragment showed severe rejection.

However, he was unable to die, and quickly gained the level after acquiring the [Evil Degree of Evasion] skill, and was taken over by [Evil King's Fragment] with his personality and body alive.

Fortunately, they had no sign of being influenced by [Guiding: Hadesmichi], but when they reached that state, they called Vandaluo the "body " and obeyed him.

For the sake of convenience, the human being hijacked by the resulting [fragment], what Vandaloo calls a "monster", was overwhelmingly weaker than the human who was swallowed by the original [fragment of the demon king]. If you use it as a force, mass production of living armor is much more useful.

In addition, I tried to be integrated with Vandalu in some cases, and when I was forced to return the fragment to my body, I died without returning to sanity.

"While I wasn't familiar in my lifetime, I think the sight of someone who knows the face can be deformed enough to be afraid to say the least ..."

"I don't mean to fight Quark anymore, but ... I guess he's doing it in the empire as well, torture prisoners and execute miserable sinners."

Instead, Tarosheim conducted a human experiment and found the valuable result that "it is dangerous to transplant raw unprocessed [Maou's fragment] cells into unguided humans". That's it.

"Even though it's a strange shape, it's not as much as Bebeckett before and now?"

"Yeah, sure!"

Quaco, who had seen Bebeket parasitizing insects throughout his body, nodded.

In fact, the monsters to whom the Duke of Malmo mutated were of that degree. If you are familiar with Vandalu and Legion, you just have to think, "There's something weird."

"I don't think this sensation is normal, but, by the way, Master, how about answering the question?"

"Oh, that's the title. I'm planning to go around the border mountains and say hello to Vida's Sleep, and then become official emperor."

"I see ... I'm obsessed with the form."

Apparently, the quarkos appeared in the town alone without escorts and interacted with the people, saw classes at the school on their own, and attended classes with children, watching the appearance of Vandalu It seems that he felt that he was not concerned with it.

In fact, many of the first kings who built the country in Lambda's history disliked the form and formal rituals, so it seems that Vandaloo thought so too.

"Well, I'm going to live a long time. I'll stick when I can afford it."

Vandalu, a dampile with a long-lived dark elf, could live a thousand years, or even a few hundred years, and be an emperor.

At that time, it would be awkward if the sloppy rituals were handed down as a tradition. I don't want to be asked about the future's origins and say "every time you are ..."

"So, please tell everyone to wait a little longer."

"No, the ones who help me are saved. Everyone will be relieved."

Being stuck in form wouldn't mean taking the crown for anything. Cuoko says that such calculations would work in the heads of the exiles.

"I'd like to advise you, but I'm not too reassured that the teacher will probably punish you if you do something wrong like normal aristocrats think" something. "

"I can see that at the end of the Duke of Malmö, and I didn't recommend anyone who thought I had noble blue blood."

Quark, whose adventurer's grandfather gained a baron for his credit, is a newcomer in the imperial aristocracy. In addition, he had no idea when he would fall because of financial difficulties, so he never thought that he had noble blood. Of course, his wife and daughter are the same.

These are the noblemen of the Occupation Army who he recommended to Vandaloo as "promising." Just like him, there are only a few poor nobles who can fall down at any time, and they have a common sense.

Of course, Quark cannot guarantee that they will grow and become proud

But if you recall the end of the Duke of Malmo, that would not be the case.

"... I didn't intend to show anything other than stripping my head."

"It's absolutely. It's a meaningful medical experiment, not meaningless torture."

Cuoco turned his gaze away from his teacher, who was simply out of his mind.

"It's normal to get angry if you don't, right?"

Then, the giant girl who was diverted told me so strangely. At any rate, I think that's a way out of the category of "angry."

Perhaps because of the silence of the quark, Vandaloos noticed that the sound of Cemetery Bee was mixed with the sound of something breaking.

"This sound seems to be evolving."

The lid of the room containing the queen pupae of Queen Cemetery Bee, who was pseudo-incarnate by Vandaloo, is pushed from inside and is moving.

Quinn after the pervert is about to come out.

"This is interesting! I need to keep a record of what shape has evolved!"

"Is it important to be involved in our worm food business? We must check it out!"

"But do men leave?"

""why!?""

"Okay, come here!

Luciliano and Cuoco grabbed by the front legs of Bebecket's giant insects are forced to leave. Vandaloo also tried to get out of the nest with them.

"Van must be here!"

However, Pauvina grabbed the neck and was lifted like a cat.

"If I weren't there, Volks and Vigalo said he would be angry for years."

"Is that your wife's birth?"

Vandalou reiterates that, but when he thinks about it, he thinks it might be better to stay.

Emergence and moulting are necessary growth processes for insects, but they are also life-threatening operations. In the case of insect-type monsters, the proportion is low, but the body may be deformed during molting, or it may die due to failure.

Quinn is a queen bee of Cemetery Bee, who has also been reborn as a queen bee.

However, it is unlikely that Quinn, who has been pseudo-incarnated and exposed to the magic of the death attribute, will emerge as a normal queen bee. In fact, it was not normal at the larval stage. As a result, some workers may not be able to assist them.

So it's not wrong for Vandaloo to be there when something happens.

A few seconds after Vandalou completed his theoretical armament, he broke the lid of the room and revealed his hand from the inside.

The shape is a human hand, but it is covered with an exoskeleton as if wearing a wand, and the wrists have soft hair.

Three more come out and break the lid further to make the hole larger.

"Oh, beautiful!"

Paulin said, staring at him in a distance, that would seem to be a woman in armor with a bee motif.

There are five bodies and the overall shape is close to that of a human woman. However, it has four arms and two legs, but has the same shape as a bee below the knee. They are covered by an exoskeleton, and the joints are protected by soft bristles like cotton candy.

The head is also close to a person. It has hair, apparently two eyes, and its nose and mouth are shaped like humans. However, the forehead has two antennae, and what lies under your eyes are countless compound eyes, not eyes. At first glance, it looks like the pupil is just abnormally large.

And on the back, the bee wings, which have just emerged and are wet, are growing straight as they dry. Under the human, from the area with the tail bone, the part that hit the abdomen of the bee grew like a tail.

However, unlike those parts, the front of the torso is shaped like a human woman. Except for the antennae and the compound eyes, she looks like a woman in her mid-twenties.

Slightly taller than Pauvina, except that they are correspondingly larger.

"It's big!"

"Well, it was huge at the larval stage."

They cannot become adults and become smaller. In front of Vandalu, who is convinced, and Paulina who is pleased, workers bees swarm to Quinn and begin caring for the body.

“…… ……”

Quinn opened her mouth and breathed greatly, leaving the bees to work. Apparently I want to say something, but I can't seem to do well because I'm not used to a body whose shape and function have changed so much.

But what Quinn wanted to say was apparent to Vandalu and Pauvina. For some reason she has been with her since she was simulated, and in a sense she's a childhood friend.

"I can't help but hesitate."

"Van, I can't shine"

"Yes yes"

Vandalu extended his tongue and began licking Quinn's exoskeleton and back, mixed with the worker bees. Just as she licked herself when she was a larva to prevent mold from growing on her body.

"Is this what you want?"

When she asked her pleased Quinn, she nodded. Apparently Vandaloo was able to guide her successfully.

A few days after Quinn emerged and turned into a new kind of monster, Gehenna Queen Bee, Vandaloo set out with Talon Mission to travel to Talosheim to explore each country in the Border Mountains.

Within a few days, Vandalu tried to create a Class A dungeon using the Labyrinth skills.

Until now, he did not make B-class or higher dungeons, and he did not feel the need to hurry to increase because of the training area for wooden people. But more than that, dungeons are dangerous.

When the difficulty level exceeds the B-class dungeon, the number of people who can capture even Talosheim decreases. Then, it is uneasy whether monsters generated inside can be thinned out stably so as not to cause a big runaway.

If you are a Vandaloo or a close member, you can stably thin out monsters of rank 7 or higher that appear in the B-class dungeon. But the Vandaloos are not always in Talosheim. In the meantime, if monsters increase and a big runaway occurs, serious damage will occur.

We were wary of it.

The monsters in the dungeon created with [Labyrinth Architecture] have no soul, and follow the instructions of the creator, Vandaloo, roughly but obey. But it's impossible to make sure you follow the order, "Do not grow any more."

Of course, it is unclear whether the number of demons without soul will cause a big runaway like a normal dungeon. But I can't even try it.

One of the more difficult A-class dungeons in Bang Gaia continent, which is one more difficult than the B-class that was not created, is why Talosheim's investigators have improved their skills. Also, it was necessary to use an A-class dungeon to test the skills before trying "The Trial of Zaccato".

However, it took only time and magic to create a B-class dungeon.

"Well, why? I imagined a dungeon in which insect-type monsters appear at the center so that they are compatible."

"I don't know how to create a dungeon ... but I don't have enough time?"

Privel, one of those who had come to see him off, spoke to Vandaloo, who was trial and error until the last minute of his departure.

But I don't feel like I'm running out of time.

"Even if we put more time and magic, it seems that there will be no change. Just as if it were impossible to pour more water into the jar with water drawn to the edge."

"Then maybe the skill level is not enough."

Given Gizania in Arachne, Vandalu thought this might be the case.

The level of the Labyrinth skill of Vandaloo is 7. It is a sufficiently high level compared to other skills.

However, B-class dungeons are also difficult enough in the world. If you guess then, at the current level no matter how hard you try, you will not reach the A class.

"It's a bit stupid, but there are also A-class dungeons in the Demon Land, and would you like to try them there?"

"I'm sure you'll be able to make an A-class dungeon, too ...

"I know. I won't increase dungeons that I can't manage."

As Muse says, lower rank monsters created in lower grade dungeons will grow faster. Therefore, it could not be easily created even by practice.

"Sure, Vandaloo-sama had created a very small dungeon in Hartner and Sauron. That was ...?"

"Talea, even if you leave the tiny dungeon, only a few rank 1 monsters will go out and nothing will happen."

Vandalu guarantees to Treasure so. In fact, it was used as a place for horn rabbits to be hunted regularly by those who found it, so there was almost no overflow of the increased demons.

"Your Majesty, It's Time"

"is not it.

Then everyone will go a little. "

"Welcome! I will do my best for the dungeon I created, because we will thin it out after training!"

"I'm glad if you come back before diving, even if you come across" Trial of Zaccato "during your visit."

"Please leave the time during your absence"

Vandalou left Talosheim after being forgotten.

However, unlike the missions of the ordinary nation, they do not make many carriages and bring a large number of escorts.

The carriage is one of the nightmare carriages. And the outside escort is Knochen.

"Let's go!

Sam's bed has a capacity of sixteen times as much as it looks due to the effect of the [Space Expansion] skill. There is a vandaloo that can equip undead, insects and plants. On the contrary, it is a small corps.

"Ooh!

And Knochen, a collection of bones approaching a billion flying in the back.

Rather than becoming an escort, the hurricane dragon, one of the top dragon species, will also be prevented from approaching.

It wasn't the closest Zanarpadna-but the departure of Vandaloo-that was Demon Country.

For some reason, Zanarpadna, the Noble Oak Kingdom, and the Demon Kingdom had previously told me, "I'm already enough and I'm waiting at Vida's bed." The same goes for the Ghoul, Hygoblin and Haikobold countries.

While leaning on what is enough, go straight to the demon country in the western mountains as seen from Tarosheim.

Vandalou spoke to the gatekeeper to get down to the outside of the castle, which was cut out of a rock wall, and to protect the city from monsters on the ground.

"I'm sorry, my name is Vandaloo, the king of Tarosheim, who promised my country. I've come to say hello to the inauguration of the emperor.

`` Yeah yeah, your behavior is perfect, Vandaloo ''

"Majesty! Don't say it yourself! Stop Darussia!

"Princess Levia, the Lord is always like this, so I'm sure it'll always be like this"

"I can't do it suddenly if I don't let it be like that."

A king who comes to the forefront and conveys his business, and a mother who praise it. The bone man and Kimberly who have already mastered the confused Princess Levia.

A demon-like demon man who does not seem to be affected by such turmoil .... A large man whose bronze skin and height and muscles are as good as Vigaro stand alone in front of the gate.

"I know. You've seen the sky in the sky since Oita."

He replied with a heavy voice, like rubbing rocks.

"K-ON"

As the gatekeeper says, Knochen, about the size of a citadel, came from behind, so I noticed the approach of Vandaloos in a demon country on the side of the mountains.

"Now--"

"But before that, I'll try your power first!"

The man at the gatekeeper ... The man whom Vandaloo thought was the gatekeeper, embracing his burning eyes with his burning eyes, holding his length-sized gold rod on his back.

"I'm the king of the demon kingdom," Hexagon War Demon "is the second corner," Kidomaru "of the" Daikan "!

However, even if you defeat me, even if you pass through this gate, the remaining four people of "Hexagon War Demons" who have the ability to surpass me will stand up! If you defeat it and proceed, and if you do not defeat General Oniwaka who is our head, you will not be able to meet the king! "

Kind Maru explains so powerfully that her child will cry when she sees it. Apparently he is not a gatekeeper, but an executive of the demon country.

"Well, why?"

After listening to the words of Kidomaru and thinking for a while, Vandalu asked. This "why" had various meanings, but Kidumaru did it in two words.

"Because it is such a practice, please ask"

"I understand. Let's fight."

"Thank you for your understanding"

Both sides are willing to give thanks and fight.

Dalcia and Princess Levia, who saw it behind them, were stunned by the unexpected consequences, including the fact that Vandalu convinces and fights.

"Is there any help in learning?

"What is your country?

"By the way, is that person a double corner? What's the one? Do you know your sister?

"Rita, I guess the person in the demon country where the boss met in the Noble Oak Kingdom was saying that it was one corner of" Hexagon War Demon "."

"Vigaro and Goba were also fighting with Ghoul in Ghoul. That's what it is.

Before you, shaved!

Thus, the battle to visit the demon country began.

Super fast growth

Blessing of Zanarpadna (NEW!)

A new kind of monster, Queen Bee of Gehennaby, born after Quinn received the pseudo-incarnation of Vandalu.

Adults have a rank of 9, and instinctively use elementary spatial attribute magic. Quinn itself is not so strong just because it is a queen bee. Life, magic, and intellect are commensurate with rank, but have little combat abilities.

Her territory is exerted by commanding subordinate bees, including worker bees.

[Egg laying] Skills can lay up to ten Gehennaby eggs per day with skills. Furthermore, instead of being limited to bees, the skill is more effective than normal [cooperation] and [conductor] skills, [group] Bee Cooperation] and [Honeybee Conducting] skills have been acquired.

[Cooperation of bees] is effective if you are dedicated to the role of bees, so Quinn does not need to do anything.

In addition, by using a unique skill [Grow Bee Super Fast Growth], you can consume a large amount of magical power to grow eggs and larvae that you laid into adults in a few seconds. However, this skill is only for emergencies, and you can't usually use it a lot.

[Evil god of carapace and compound eyes] Under the protection of Zanarpadna, it may grow further.
