The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 168: People Waiting for Trials, Those Who Challenge
A large, rugged but sturdy square entrance that looks as if it were built using rebar as it is. Next to it is a wooden sign engraved with "The Trial of Zaccato" like a nameplate.
"... The signboard is pretty out of place."
"According to Gizan, it looks like it was added later."
Entrance of "The Trial of Zaccato", which appeared in a picture of a dark elf country. Looking up at it, Vandaloo was impressed.
Behind this lies the Zacht heritage, which helps to revive her mother.
"But it sounds so dangerous, don't overdo it. My mother doesn't want to be resurrected, but Vandaloo, and I don't want everyone to do it. '
The spirit of Darussia refuses the Vandaloos while saying so. It is her unmistakable intention, and she does not want to survive, but she does not want to hurt her sons or others equal to her family, much less die.
"It's okay, mother. In the southern continent, there's no death unless there's enough to do."
"I've heard that ... Vandaloo looks like he's going to be crazy with a calm face."
In the words of Darussia, the Zadiris nodded deeply.
`` A year ago, I was forced to stop my heart and lungs, moved my heart myself, pierced my lungs with a metal cylinder, and breathed. ''
"I was beheaded recently, His Majesty."
Tadalea, the head of the ethnic group of Ghoul, and Iris of Succubus said, and Vandalou wandered his gaze.
"There are others ... but there are many cases of force majeure."
"If you think about it later, you often think that it was the right answer."
"So Vandaloo, don't worry, but be as careful as possible."
When Living Armor sisters Saria and Rita and Eleonora followed, they replied, "Yes, I'll do good."
"By the way, are you going to capture it soon?
As soon as Volks heard, the women cried out.
"What about the tournament? I'm still on the way to get the Vandalu."
"Yes, I haven't lost yet!
"I'm not good. I did my best."
"Certainly, I had you sit in the seat with the prize, but it wasn't a tournament to that effect ..."
Gizan, the King of the Dark Elves, who guides them all here, twitched with a smile. For him, it seemed to mean, "If you win, you will be able to take part in the" Zacht Trial "with him."
"'A collar ...'"
"I want a transformation wand ..."
"I heard you had a new massage experience right?"
However, it seems that the tail fin was on sometime. Gizan sweated cold on his forehead, perhaps because the joke had passed.
"I'll make it without winning a prize. I haven't come up with a massage yet, and I can't create a collar or a transformation stick right away. But say a choker instead of a collar."
"'Wow ♪'"
Players' dissatisfaction had subsided, as Vandaluu said nothing without concern. Gizan stroked her chest down. He had sworn to stop the vicious joke.
"It's okay to cancel the tournament anyway. There wasn't a championship competition in the first place, and the number of remaining players is much higher than usual, but this time the Emperor's habitability is abnormal. Yeah. "
Gizan then announced that the tournament had been canceled.
In the average year, the challengers are shaken from several people to at most a little more than ten people.
That's because it's dangerous if the challengers are too weak, and because people inside the Border Mountains think that pushing too many people doesn't make sense.
"The Trial of Zaccato" is a dungeon to find the successor of the hero Zaccato, a so-called trial ritual. There is no point in capturing it with the power of a number. On the contrary, he is the creator of the dungeon, and may be angry with Gufadogan, the evil god of the labyrinth, who will probably be waiting in the back.
In addition, there are several levels in Zacquard's Trial, where dozens of people can move together. For that reason, the Gizans limited the number of people who challenged at one time from a few to about a dozen.
However, this is not the case in human society outside the Boundary Mountains, where the capture of "The Trial of Zaccato" is considered to be the successor to the hero Bellwood.
In the past, royal nobles who tried to capture by mobilizing more than a hundred knights and adventurers several times, and some nations who continued to send slaves inside every day to stop dungeons in territories rather than captures There was.
The result, of course, can be inferred from the fact that Trials of Zaccato is still wandering.
However, in the case of Vandaloo, you can equip a large number of undead, insects, and plant-type monsters with [Gunjutsu]. And Vandalu is the leading candidate for Zaccato's successor, which Gufadogan is looking for.
Since he has a soul created from fragments of the hero's soul, he is not a successor to normal meaning. But if you guess from the time Gufadogan suddenly wakes up and creates the Trial of Zaccato, it's clear that it points to Vendaloo.
It was Gizan's perception that some unreasonableness would be tolerated.
"So, this time, all of the players who have a certain level of power ... surviving in the B-class dungeon with plenty of time will be fine."
For this reason, the judgment was unprecedented.
"Sorry ... at least one year later ... if I have more strength"
Oniwaka, the daughter of Tenma the King of Oni, regretted that. After trying her skills with Vandaloo in Demon Country, she retrains herself, but she seems to have not enough time yet.
"No, I think my muscle strength is enough. On the contrary, the problem is more of skill and experience ..."
However, Oniwaka has already reached a sufficient level of strength, that is, the ability to swing weapons and wear armor. Gizan, who was watching her at the tournament, gives such advice.
"I have many opportunities to fight, Oniwaka-san. If you keep trying until then, you will have enough strength."
"That's right. Vandaloo, of course, will be active next time in the bodybuilding competition next year, of course!"
It was swept away by the words spoken by Vandaloo, and seemed to have reached Iniwaka's ears but did not reach his head.
"After that, if you refine your technique besides muscle strength, it will be perfect."
"Yes! I have to aim for the height of a warrior!"
And it was Vandaloo who did not forget to encourage him to increase his strength. The experience of cultivating instantaneous judgment can be gained naturally if you have studied to improve them.
"Kachia and Bilde would like Tarosheim with Michael, too."
Former adventurer girl Ghoul, Katya. Also, a young ghoul Birde from the same settlement as Zadiris is an absence program due to lack of ability.
"It can't be helped. I'm finally ranked up as a Ghoul Amazones Warrior, but my only opponent is a monster of rank 8 or higher.
I'm helping Bilde, and I'm playing with Verbi and Jadal. ''
"Oh, thank you."
When they leave their daughter Jadal, Basdia often asks them.
"I'm sorry to ask recently, but ..."
"It's good. By the way, how long will it take?"
"It's going to take more than a month for now. I don't know how many levels there are."
"The Trial of Zaccato" is confirmed and has more than fifty levels. The challengers, led by the Demon King Tenma, have advanced over fifty levels, but they still haven't seen the end.
For this reason, Vandaloo thought that it would take about a month to progress two or more levels a day.
"So let's go home and get ready."
Vandalu turns around.
"Yes, it is necessary to arrange luggage."
"Because I will leave Tarosheim for more than a month, I need to adjust it."
"I don't want to stop once in front of the dungeon, but how can I do that?"
Everyone who follows.
To dive into the dungeon for more than a month, you need to prepare various equipment and supplies. Food seems to be available to some extent in the Trial of Zaccato, but there are also several levels of ice fields, and some levels of stone mazes where only edible monsters appear.
"The Trial of Zaccato" will stay in the same place for a month and will not [transfer] as long as there is a challenger inside. So there was no need to rush.
It seems that the challengers of all ages have not tried to enter immediately after the dungeon appeared, but have made enough preparations.
"After that, there's a job problem. Is everyone ok? If you can reach 100 levels a little more, you can wait about half a month."
And it was confirmed by Queen Donanellis, but there was also a job problem. Rank-up is performed automatically as long as the conditions are met, but job changes must be made by touching the crystal installed in the center of the so-called job change room.
"Speaking of which, can you not carry around a job change room? If you bring that crystal, it will be easy to do. "
Barbayagar, one of Legion's personalities, asks so. They seem to be still strange to those who have been reincarnated from Origin without jobs or skills for about a year.
"I can't do that. To be precise, it means possible but not realistic. '
About 30,000 years old, including the years before the undead, Ira explained while tying his finger on the chain connected to the collar.
Job change is not something you can do anywhere if you carry only the crystal installed in the room. The whole room, including the crystal, is a ceremonial hall for job changes, so there is no point in using crystal alone.
In addition, it is necessary to build some solid walls and ceilings in this job change room. A tent that can be easily installed and removed cannot be substituted.
"Once every thousand years, strange people who try to convert dungeon rooms into job change rooms, transport craftsmen and materials to build the room on the expedition by the army, etc. coming out. But it's broken by demons and enemies and can only be used for a short time, and it seems that each time it judges that it will not pay for the cost and effort it costs. ''
For this reason, it is often best to create a job change room just outside a fort or other permanent defense base or dungeon entrance, or just outside the Makai.
"I see. Isn't that why it's like a game separately? '
"Wait, wouldn't it be a solution if you carry the whole room!
Barbayagar was convinced to say that, but Walkure did so.
"Valkyrie, that's why it's impossible ... Even if you golem in the whole room, Mr. Vandaloo can not equip the golem in the body."
"It can be moved in the shape of the room, but if there is a narrower part of the room in" The Trial of Zaccato ", it will take more time to transport it. It may be broken by demons and traps."
As explained by Eleonora, and Vanderlue himself, Walkure pointed out to Sam with a myriad of arms.
"If you install it on a part of Sam's bed, there is no problem!
"On my bed? I can afford it, but is it possible?
Sam asks while looking back at his bed. Sam's main carrier is a three-headed carriage with a hood, which doesn't seem to be able to carry a very solid room. However, due to the effect of the [Space Expansion] skill, the internal capacity slightly exceeds the appearance by 10 times.
In addition to a single room, it is possible to stack even a single house.
And Vandaloo, thinking a lot, said stunningly, "It's possible."
"Honestly, I had no idea ... Valkyrie, it's a great flash."
If you are an undead Sam, you can equip Vandaloo with [Arrangement]. There is no problem even if a job change room is installed in the loading platform.
"Is it a moving job change room? We didn't even think of it."
"It's amazing. The fact that human beings have repeatedly failed for thousands of years has been solved in a single word.
"Ha ha ha ha! You can give me more praise! ?
Valkyrie, praised by Gizan and Volks, deflects his upper body on the surface of the legion and becomes ecstatic.
"Well, it's because of Sam and Vandaloo."
"But I also say that without one percent flash, ninety-nine percent of the effort would be wasted. Let's start building immediately when we return."
While stroking the valkyrie, he recounted the words of a great man whom Vandaloo recalled.
Indeed, in Vandaloo, who was obsessed with the stereotype of the job change room, no matter how much he thought, he could not have come up with it.
This allows job changes even if the level reaches 100 during the dungeon capture. Vandaloo will also have the option to work on a new job, such as [Granted Grant].
"Dad is remodeling? It will be far away from ordinary carriages. "
"Rita, say it's convenient!
"Oh?
Who are you? Knochen, made of countless bones that can be deformed, claims.
"Knochen is a bit harsh because his bones break down when he moves, and his physical size doesn't change because he doesn't have [spatial expansion] skills."
"Ooh ..."
"Knochen, please do not be afraid that you are both good and bad. You are a citadel, not a warehouse. "
"Knochen should work more as a base in the Trials of Zachart than in a job change room."
"Oh!
Knochen, who was depressed by the words of Sam and Vandaloo, regained his energy.
"Same as adding a job change room to Sam, but we have to bring a lot more. After completing the ordeal, we don't know how to receive Zachart's legacy.
Something that could be a new material for my mother's body is preserved in my workshop. ''
The blood crystal received from Vida is carried around with the remains of Darussia, but the whole body skeleton made with Orichalcum, various artificial parts made of [Devil's fragment], and the material of high-ranking monsters are placed in the underground workshop as expected. Has been.
I have to go get it.
"Oh, Vandaloo? I feel enough with the blood of the goddess alone ... but what if I use them all?
"I can't imagine it, but it comes to be. Something ... even if new wings and tails grow, surely."
"Iris, I think there's a different word if I'm going to follow. Eleonora, don't turn your eyes to see Darusia like you."
When Darussia was a little anxious about being a Dark Elf when he was resurrected, those whose race had been changed by Vandalu spoke and became more familiar.
Among the twelve duke territories in the Orbaum election, the Duke of Fazon thrives on shipping and fishing.
Several men and women gathered in the valley, which has become a magical inland, away from the seafront of the Duke of Fazon.
"Here? Where's the next" Zacquard Trial "?"
Looking over the valley, Heinz of the leader of the S-class adventure party, "Goshiki no Blade", "Blue Flame Sword," said deeply emotionally. Although he is already in his late twenties, he should be said to be a true S-class adventurer, there is no slack before middle age and he looks younger than his actual age.
In his hand was a map borrowed with their social credit and a magic item like a combination of three compasses.
"Finally, it's a re-challenge for" The Trial of Zachart ... "
Here is Edgar, a scouting profession who enters the thirty and carves his age-appropriate bitterness on his face.
`` Jennifer and Diana join the group, meet Selenium, and soon become the leader of the Ardha Reconciliation and become an honorary noble-''
"It was really long."
Martial artist Jennifer agrees with Edgar's words in a sighing tone.
"I thought I would die in old age without seeing my whole life."
Jennifer joined The Five-Colored Blade after Heinz moved to the Orbaum Kingdom and challenged him to the Trials of Zachart.
The aim is to fulfill the strategy of "The Trial of Zaccato", which was regarded as a dream story among adventurers, and become a living legend.
But, after joining "Five Colored Blades", there were many things, but I never tried "The Trial of Zachart".
"I'm sorry to pull around a lot, but there's no doubt where this" trial seeker "points."
"I'm not complaining, blaming, or skeptical, Heinz. I just thought I'd been long. We met and I don't think it was wasted. ''
"I think it was fast. The Trial of Zaccato is a roaming dungeon that moves around the world about once a month. If you appear in a remote place or in a secluded area far away from humanity, It's unlikely that you'll be able to get there before you get there, and records show that it's not uncommon to find them outside of Bang Gaia. "
Elf Diana, the priest of Mill, the Goddess of Sleep, originally a two-man adventurer with Jennifer, says: She's still young as an elf, but she looks the most calm of the party.
"Well, that would be from Elf Diana."
"But the years since participating in [Goshiki no Blade] are incredibly intense. To be honest, I feel like I've had a big adventure for a hundred years in the last few years you know?"
"Because there was a lot of fighting against the original vampire, sealing the Demon King's shards before, etc. I think it's too much for a hundred years."
So Diana agrees with DShield, Dwarf.
"But it's not the purpose of looking at the entrance to" The Trials of Zachart ". Everyone is so nervous ... Even though" The Trial Investigator ", you don't know when the dungeon will appear. Right? "
There was a renowned spatial attribute magician who did not challenge when "The Trial of Zaccato" began to appear, but noted its peculiarity.
He speculated that the dungeon would be transferred to another location every month, probably because of advanced spatial magic, or otherwise created by a god or evil god of spatial attributes.
Zachart's Trial is interpreted as a trial to be the successor to Bellwood, the hero who has defeated the undead 'Falled Brave' Zachart, and is a heresy among many who cast it.
Therefore, he did not stand on the stage, but his research bears fruit, and the magic of the effect is that the exact place where the next 'Zacht's Trial' appears can be indicated if some conditions are met. Invented the item, Trial Searcher.
He handed it to the "true" Randolph, who was already known as an S-class adventurer at the time.
However, Randolph was handed over, and had never challenged "The Trial of Zachat" and had slain "The Trial Explorer". Heinz took over it.
"Unfortunately, all we know is where to appear. But that alone is worth the trouble."
After sealing the Demon King's Nose, Heinz and others noticed the existence of the Spatial Attribute Magician who produced the Trial Investigator, and investigated Randolph's possession. He now finds him, now under the pseudonym, and asks him to lend him.
Randolph sighed deeply to them and handed them the "trial seeker".
If you want to bet on your life and go to waste. But don't worry about me again.
Randolph suddenly disappeared in front of Heinz after giving the Trial Investigator. He didn't answer the question asking what he meant when he left.
"I'm sure you've had a hard time finding Randolph. It's harder than looking for a hideout in Tennessee. And you have to go around the magician guild again to find out how to use magic items. Was.
Randolph will give no punishment for giving me the instructions, right? "
"Edgar, I think you should be grateful for just giving me the magic item. I was just annoying to visit you, but he gave me no money and asked for it .... Sure. I was on my face and my eyes were stupid. "
"Jennifer and Edgar aren't really saying anything, just because they couldn't keep up with Randolph's disappearance and hurt his pride as a scout."
"... Did you still care? The vessel is too small."
"It can't be helped, because racial men become distorted after thirty."
Edgar, who saw the disadvantages of the women at the gaze of the women, said, "I'm going to find a suitable place for camping."
Heinz saw it off, but camps were certainly needed.
Thanks to Trial Investigator, we now know where the next Zacht Trial will be. But I don't know when "The Trial of Zaccato" will appear here, as I answered to DeLiza.
"Thanks to visiting the Alchemist of the Magician Guild to find out how to use it, I was able to rush to the next spawn location by accident ... but the essential dungeon might appear tomorrow, a month It may take longer. ''
After a month, Zacquard's Trial will not move to the next location as long as the challenger remains inside.
"... I hope it's appearing in a secluded area where no challenger is available. Capture Zachart's Trial, take Martina's revenge, take over the feat of the hero Bellwood and hear Arda's voice .
If possible, we want to be our role. ''
"I would like to be the leader of the Arda Reconciliation School and the parent of the selenium upbringing."
"Marti wants to take her hair back with her. I couldn't do that before."
Diana and Deliza agree on Heinz's determination.
"But where is it now?"
Jennifer looked up at the sky.
They don't know. The Trials of Zaccato exist in a dark elf country inside the border mountains, a land where they are untouched.
"Maybe outside of this continent, as Diana said."
The Heinz do not know the correct meaning of "The Trial of Zachart" and that if they did, they would not be the successors of Bellwood, but the successors of what they call "The Fallen Hero".
Above all, I don't know that Vandaloo is about to challenge "The Trial of Zaccato" inside the Border Mountains.
The only way that Heinz and the others can challenge the Trials of Zachart again is if the Vandaloos lose their trials and get out of the dungeon.
A few days later, the ready Vandaloos were reunited before the Trials of Zachart.
"I'll do my best and survive!"
"Wow!"
"I don't mind if you leave it!"
Treasure and Pauvina raised their fists with good energy, and Luciliano made a sad voice.
"It's okay, I'll protect you as much as possible, so don't be careless but don't worry too much!"
"Yes, Pauvina is just fine."
Pauvina is leveling with the Privelles, which is more difficult than a normal B-class dungeon, without impersonating the A-class dungeon created by Vandaloo. For this reason, both Vandaloo and Gizan acknowledged that she was eligible to take on the Trials of Zachart.
And if she qualifies, she follows. However, in the words of a girl showing her Orichalcum shield and her teacher, the color of anxiety in Luciliano's face never faded.
"I can't feel assured if I can hear it or just barely!"
Certainly, reassuring may be wrong.
"Did you forget to level with us in the B-class dungeon, Lucci? The last person was always smiling. ''
"Yes, it's okay this time. And if you're dying, you'll be forced out and the Dark Elf treatment team will heal you right away. ''
Gina, the healing saint who previously forced Luciliano into a B-class dungeon, and Zandia, a small genius, said, "So believe in yourself."
But Luciliano was aware. The smile I had at that leveling was just a bit broken due to mental problems.
Certainly, at that level, Luciliano's level had risen a lot and the job changed. However, I did not think that it was strong enough to pass in "Zacquard's Trial", in which many B-class and A-class adventurers did not return while staying inside.
"You're saying it's impossible !? And I'm from outside the Border Mountains? I guess Gufadogan doesn't always recognize you as being inside the Border Mountains !?"
"Mmmm ... sure"
It's unclear how well Gufadogan, who doesn't know where he is and where the Zackart Trial is now, knows about the challengers who have entered the dungeon.
And no one has ever crossed the mountain range and tried "The Trial of Zaccato." Luciliano's point is also the highest.
"But I want Luciliano to manage the materials that can be used for her new body, so please cooperate. I also want to see the dead body of the challenger before he might be found along the way."
"That's right, there was it!"
Godwin and Budallion, who previously challenged the Trials of Zachart, have seen stone and metal statues modeled after the strangers in various forms.
Perhaps that is the end of the marinas of The Five Colored Blades, the challengers outside the border mountains.
A rare opportunity to touch the precious corpses of the top adventurers that you would not normally be able to touch. Luciliano, remembering that, thought for a while and then nodded, "OK."
"But I don't take part in battle, so don't expect it as a strength."
"Okay, I don't expect it from the beginning"
"Yeah, no one is expecting!"
"Well, then you are safe!"
"I think you should care a bit."
Luciliano smiles with a radiant smile, which is immediately said to have not been counted as a force from the beginning. Vigaro tells us what it is, but he doesn't care.
"I'm too selfish to follow me to maintain my armor."
Tale, who says that, will be waiting in Sam's carrier as much as possible.
"What if Luciliano and Talea made a new piece of equipment like this transformation stick? I haven't used the finished product yet, but the prototype I tried has a good defense I'm sorry. "
"... I absolutely refuse, because the teacher would have said that it would take some time to make it, because it's all personalized."
"It seems that diversion itself can be done because there is no personal identification function yet, but it is like I wear clothes that are exactly the size of Zadiris? "
"Mm, that's right. The boy said that the prototype was simple, but the finished product had many decorations."
Zadiris is refused to continue and lowers his transformation staff.
"Let's go now."
"Everyone, Vandaloo. Don't be unreasonable
Those who can equip all of them, with Vandalu, equipped with Vigaro, Zadiris and Legion, go into the Trial of Zaccato.
The Gizan and Elf Dark Elves in work mode were looking behind.
"... This may finally end the annual penance."
In fact, it was Gizan, who was also the head of the treatment team.

Demon Explanation: Seitan Blood Blaze Ghost
Princess Levia, who was ranked as a Deep Blood Blaze Ghost, was born as a result of being further upgraded.
Probably due to continued drinking of Pothaloo's Brad Potion.
She wears a black flame that makes her feel dignified and noble, just because she has the name of Seitan. And you can further strengthen yourself with [Demon King's Blood]. By the way, this Demon King's blood refers to the existence of two names, "Demon King", that is, the blood of Vandalu.
In addition, from Olbia, he embodies a part of himself with the [Incarnate] skill, learns how to fight using it, and learns [Martial Arts] and [Shield Art].
Demon Commentary: Dark Broad Ghost
A monster born from Olbia's rank as a Deep Broad Ghost, and then further up. The color of the liquid that forms the whole body has increased in depth, and is closer to the entity.
He has also practiced magic, and has acquired magic skills he did not remember because he was not good at birth.
He seems to be better at moving his body, covering his face and suffocating the enemy, or getting into the lungs and attacking from inside.
Demon Explanation: Thunderbolt Ghost
Kimberly climbed up the ranks of Hard Blitz Ghosts and then further. Unlike the Levia and Olbia races, Thunderbolt ghosts have occurred in Lambda, albeit in very small numbers.
In fact, I am a little concerned about that, and renew my determination that the next rank up will be the only one.
