The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

The true entrance to "The Trial of Zaccato" was in a dome-shaped room just after the entrance with the front sign.

There, a sacred sign symbolizing the eleven gods of the world was drawn on the wall, and letters were carved on the wall.

"Choose the True Hero and Pray to God"

Vandalu looked up and muttered.

"... I guess the outsiders prayed here not to Vida who chose Zaccato first, but to Arda who chose Bellwood."

This is a visible booby trap for those inside the Border Mountains, who know that the dungeon was created by Gufadogan, the Labyrinth of God, who claims to be the first Apostle of Zaccato.

However, in human society outside the Boundary Mountains, Zachart is a "fallen hero" and is more awed than respected as a parent of evil vampires.

It is unlikely that you will ever think of a true hero.

"When you're a true hero, you'll think of Bellwood who defeated the Demon King in human society.

And in the outside world, this dungeon was a test of choice for Bellwood's successor, so I think most challengers will pray to Alda, even if they are not Alda or Bellwood followers. ''

As Iris said, human-society challengers almost always chose Arda here. The same is true for Heinz and others in "Five Colored Blades."

"Which Zantak chose Fermoun?"

Like Bellwood, the hero God Farmaun is the founder of the Adventurer's Guild. Vendalous thought that the adventurers, who account for most of the challengers, might pray to him.

Gufadgarn may not know that Farmaun has left the Ardite, but he knows that Zanták is a Vida. So isn't it better than praying to Sizarion and Arda?

"Because Zanták is said to have fallen, even to the Vida believers of the outside world, by merging with evil gods ..."

"I see. Let's pray to Vida for now."

Vandalu nods to Iris's explanation and prays to Vida's mark. In particular, join hands in the same way.

"I'm a Vida now, I'm a Vida now"

"Hijryshkaka's followers have stopped. True, true."

"I'm like the equipment of Vandaloo, so don't worry"

However, Eleonora and Ira, who belonged to the gods who served the former Ardaist Iris and the "Evil God of Evil", Hijryshkaka, who came out of the body of Vandalu, joined hands and prayed seriously.

In particular, Islay has come out of Vandalu and prayed at the same time as giving up his personality.

In fact, the remnants of the Demon King's army will be recognized by Gufadogan as enemies, as well as the Ardas, so there is no doubt that they will be desperate.

"Well, that's fine. When I went to the sanctuary of Vida, nothing was said."

So, at least, Vandalus appeased that the Vidas should not be concerned about the existence of Eleonora or Islay.

"I wish I could ..."

"Boy, I'm done. Should I spend more time?"

"Vandaloo, isn't it time to pray because the door appeared sometime?

With the emergence of a giant door, they finished praying, and Vandaloos went deeper.

Gufadogan, the Labyrinth's Deity, dreamed of the innermost part of his own Trial of Zaccato.

The days that were the most brilliant and happy one day.

What interrupted that dream was the sign of a dungeon.

"A new challenger?"

It is probably within the border mountains that he prayed to Vida during the first screening. The outsiders somehow pray only to the terrible Alda.

What did Arda, who cares about the chief of the gods, tell his followers about this dungeon? Did you entrust the oracle to someone who was not so talented?

Of course, outside of the border mountains, even new members of Vida pray to Arda.

What is particularly deplorable is that installing a signboard has no effect. We set up a simple question for sorting before the entrance. Is that because of that?

"But no small possibility can be denied to seek out the Lord. And it's bad that my intent is open. "

There may be a small possibility that the Lord has become a follower of Arda for some reason. Gufadogan's intent is widening, and it is not a good idea to aim for the defeat of Gufadogan instead of taking a trial.

Rabbits also concentrate their attention on new challengers. Zachart's vampires, who are linked to the Son of the Lord, as well as those who pray to Vida, cannot be killed.

Some of those who "seeed" came to vigorously appeal to Gufadogan's consciousness.

"... this thought! I feel the sign of Zachart, my Lord ... and feel the protection of Vida. "

Surprisingly, Gufadogan opened the door and showed Vandaloo moving forward.

At first glance, he does not resemble Zachart, the brave man he calls the Lord. But it is not his appearance that matters.

The question is, is this Dumpel boy really a reincarnation of Zacchart, who had been with the oracle from Recrent, and brave men who were like him?

It is not yet certain. However, Gufadogan was unable to stop his throbbing.

"Oh, will the vain imagined time end? Boy, hopefully, fill my void. "

As I walked through the door, there was a dim space that stretched out endlessly. There are no walls and no ceilings as far as I can see.

When the bandalls thought that it was too simple and a strange dungeon, the door suddenly sounded shut and disappeared.

"watch out! If you heard it, a lot of demons will appear!

At the same time as Darussia warned, countless demons appeared in the tier where nothing was supposed to be.

A giant iron doll Iron Golem, a mad salamander, a spirit of fire that has been contaminated with filthy magic and has gained power and insanity, and a prism stalker of demonized luminous gas that simulates the magic of light attributes.

Dozens of other weak, even weak, rank 6 monsters attacked at once

That's why sending any number of phantoms to The Trial of Zaccato is useless. In the first level, you have to fight countless demons without exits. Therefore, if the challenger does not have the ability to capture in the B-class dungeon with plenty of time, he will be instantly killed.

"Sure, I've heard from my dads."

But Iris, who had heard from those who had already experienced the challenge, and others, were not upset.

"I can finally try new equipment. Makeover!"

He removes the robe from which Zadiris wore a transformation wand and recites the command word. Then, the decoration of the transforming wand made of copper instantly liquefies and falls on her body, crawling around her limb.

Within seconds, the copper became integral with Zadiris's clothing and changed shape, leaving her hand with a dead-iron handle, the body of the deformed cane.

"[Glitter blade: Ranbu]!"

A skirt-like decoration was flipped over, and a turbulent shooting of high-level light-attribution magic cast by Zadiris cut through the demons that were about to flood.

"Continue to receive it!"

It strikes high-level wind attribute magic against monsters such as Iron Golems that were still moving.

[Chant Discard] Continuous magic attack with skill. With the great success of Zadiris, the monsters that appeared appeared to be almost completely hunted.

"Ummm! It's a wonderful feeling to use. Assisting the execution of spells and correcting for power is more than expected, and it feels almost heavy and easy to move!"

"That's not that good ... well, wasn't that good?

"Oh, oh, awesome."

The remaining few demons were easily slaughtered by Legion and Iris.

As soon as you enter the dungeon, you're cut off, and the next moment is a swarm of at least rank 6 monsters. Adventurers of the class D or lower, or knights and soldiers of the average class, will kill instantly, and even the class C will not survive. If you don't have at least a B-class capability, this attack will kill you.

In the face of such difficulties, there is nothing to say in front of the Vandaloos, who originally set the minimum requirement to be able to work in a B-class dungeon.

It is just good for the performance test of Zadiris' new equipment, Transformation Staff.

"For the time being, it seems that the transformation wand was successful .... It's dangerous to cast a long command word or pose during combat, so it would have been better to omit it."

The motif of the transformation wand is an anime item for girls on the earth, but it could not be adopted as it is. This is because putting the user in danger for romance would cause him to fall.

Therefore, the decoration of the staff changed the shape of the copper, and the user took in the clothes they had come into the clothes.

"Boy, this is a medium item! If you make the same thing for everyone, there is no doubt that your strength will rise dramatically!"

Zadiris, who seems to be very comfortable, shone his eyes and said, "I couldn't do it!"

"I don't think I can do that ... but I think it's good for Zadiris."

"Yes, I want you to excuse me."

Iris and Vigalo, who were stunned by the transformation of Zadiris, shook their heads.

"... If I could be the same as if I was living on the origin in the future, that's not enough."

"Same on the right. I want you to forgive it because I will do anything. ''

"so? I suppose Barbayagar and Enma look good. Walkure doesn't like frills. '

"Because I'm not as good at magic as my mother, otherwise I would like to try ... why not recommend to Zandia or Privel before me?"

Legions differ from person to person, and Basdia seems to be only concerned with his magic skills.

At that time, Zadiris was calm and calm down, confirming his style.

"[Projection] ... mu, mummy!"

Zadiris, who reflected himself in front of him with light magic, groaned at his unusual figure.

Based on the bikini-like garment under the robe, the copper becomes fine fibers to form frills and ribbons, and the legs and hands are covered with high socks and gloves. In addition, a cloak sways on the back.

And the color was designed around the white of the light attribute.

At first glance it seemed to be wearing a white dress, but at a closer look it was dressed up in a leotard with dress-like decorations and a high degree of lightness.

Knowing this, Zadiris glanced at Vandaloo.

"Boy, he said he was mature, but he has too many ribbons and frills! It's not like a child!"

"No, I don't think there's a problem for kids ... Isn't it?"

Iris calmly tried to point out, and recently his common sense had fluctuated, so he silenced his words.

On the other hand, Vandalou, who received the complaint, argued that he was expecting the reaction of Zadiris.

"There is a technical reason for this decoration. This brass bodysuit is engraved with small alchemy spells to improve physical and anti-magical defenses, as well as a variety of magic, In order to do so, a certain surface area is required. ''

"Hyo, surface area?"

"Yes, because there is a limit to reducing the size of letters."

Ribbons, frills, and skirt-like decorations are not just for cuteness. The liquid metal microfibers that are woven up are engraved with complex spells to perform a number of effects, including the ability to change to a cane and costume form. .

"If you keep it to the minimum you can save a lot of embellishment, but you can't afford it. With a little damage, it's just a piece of copperware, so it's the current design."

Vandalou argues that he never made Zadoris a cute design today to make fun of the witch costume.

I do not say that I did not think that it would be suitable for a strange adult.

Zadiris, with his arms crossed and listening to Vandaloo's words, groaned for a while.

"I can't help saying that, because the prototype was stuck down from the neck and had strange movement difficulties."

But he was convinced there was a good reason.

Iris and Vigaro were surprised, "Do you agree ?!"

"And I don't think it's so childish."

"Yes, Hitomi-chan?

"Yes, Jack. "Earth" and "Origin", but some were even more amazing "

Hitomi Minuma, a reincarnated person who is one of Legion's personalities, recalls the costume of a witch girl from another world.

Vibrantly colorful ruffles, flare skirts with multiple steps, ribbons that are too big to get in the way, shoes that can hurt your feet when walking.

Compared to them, the style of Zadiris is quite gentle.

"Well, yeah, just looking mature doesn't mean that my face and body will not change. And recently I've been nervous, but I wouldn't say that frills and ribbons are particularly disgusting. Then, me.

Sorry boy. It seems like he said his selflessness without age. "

When she heard that, she arranged her own arrangement, or Zadiris, stroking the head of Vandaluo, who recently became quite close.

"But when I'm up and growing up, I'm gonna make it look more mature. It's a promise."

Zadiris demands so with a laid eyes. It doesn't seem to have run out.

"I understand. If the appearance changes greatly, it will be difficult to move unless the costume is also adjusted."

Vandaloo makes a promise without opposition. In fact, if your body shape changes significantly, you need to improve your transformation stick, so there's nothing to say.

"But I think it's cute as it is now."

"Boy, it's not about making fun of the elderly. You should say those words to your daughter, who is the same or younger."

"... Mom, I don't think Van has too few things to say. I'd be grateful if she would love Jadal.

By the way, Van, you know why you need more decorations for your mother, but what happens to my big body? "

"... It's going to look like a female executive in Basdia."

"Because the memories are the same, if you calm down, you can see what Hitomi is thinking."

"By the way, there's something I'd like to see, Jack, right?

"I see, Izanami"

The appearance of the Legions, who had been chatting, suddenly faded away.

"No, you can't [transfer] outside"

Now Jack tries to be able to [transfer] back and forth while inside the Trials of Zachart, but fails.

"What about Vandaloo? Can you move between dungeons and create walls and rooms with [Labyrinth Architecture]?

"Hmm ... I can't seem to get out."

[Maze construction] Even with [transfer] with skill, it seems that you can not go outside.

Some of the challengers inside and outside the border mountains of "The Trial of Zaccato" have ever attempted to go back and forth between layers inside and outside and in dungeons with [Transition] of spatial attribute magic. But all those attempts failed.

If you can get in and out, you can supply new weapons, food, potions and other supplies to replace the damaged ones. If you have wisdom or substitutes waiting outside the dungeon, you will be able to take advantage of mystery and capture.

Even so, it's only natural to see if the magic you can use is valid. However, no one was able to go back and forth between "Zacquart's Trials" inside and outside with spatial attribute magic.

This seems to be related to the fact that the creator, Gufadogan, is an evil god with a property classified as a spatial attribute. He may have intentionally banned any strategy that went against the purpose of the dungeon.

I thought maybe Legion's [Limited Death Magic] or Vandaloo's [Labyrinth Architecture] skill [Transfer], but it seems impossible.

"But you can fiddle with the interior in this way. I use my magical power more than usual."

However, it seems that it is impossible to seal everything. A square wall grows silently from the floor at the point where Vandalu points, and it grows. Until we can make the stairs in the same way, we do not know because we have just captured the first level.

"It seems that it is possible to [transfer] if you are on a layer that has been captured in this case.

What about goblin communicators? "

Iris was shaking his head, saying, "Unfortunately," he was experimenting with a communication device using the goblin's dried neck made by Vandaluo.

"... I don't think this is the case. Communication has been cut off, just like the challengers have tried before."

"I could talk to the Jadals if they could. I can't help but get back as fast as possible."

"I agree"

Communication to the outside and [transfer] was such that I thought it would be impossible, but it would be convenient if I could do it.

…… We have loads of supplies and people already.

By the way, the robes of Zadiris were removed, of course.

From the second level of the Trial of Zaccato, it was a maze of complicated and complicated mazes that did not encounter monsters.

"In this maze layer, there are no monsters at first, but if you do not move a certain distance in an hour ... what will happen?

"The walls come out and are trapped, and more than a dozen monsters appear!"

"It's a hierarchy where you can't go anywhere until you defeat it. Moreover, it's a bonus that the structure of the maze changes every time" Zacquart Trial "moves."

Paulvina and Zadiris add to the description of Darussia.

In other words, this maze is a thing that you can safely capture even if it takes time if you keep walking without stopping if you get lost. You can't take a break on the way, but that's about it.

This seems to be based on Zachart's "continuous action and thinking" action and anecdotes that have been annoying Vida for "immediate decision."

By the way, the hero Bellwood is said to have left the saying, "It's important to stop sometimes and talk to your friends." Whether the person himself practiced it or not is a rabbit, and the challenger of the human society who practiced it at this level would have been a great eye.

"Well, I can understand the structure of the hierarchy immediately thanks to the [Labyrinth Architecture] skill. Here it is."

However, the maze has no meaning in front of Vandaloo. Since there were no traps such as pitfalls, it was clear as it was.

"If you move the wall and create a path directly to the goal, can you clear it faster?

"If you repeat too many fouls, you will be angry by Gufadogan, so if you do not care about safety, let's clear normally, Enma"

"I see, isn't there any good thing that makes my mind worse?"

There is no point in clearing the test if it is not recognized by Gufadogan. With care, Vanderlu went up the maze.

The mystery presented to the challengers at each level of "The Trial of Zaccato" created by Gufadgan is praise to the production heroes, led by Zaccato, and malice to the goddess Arda and Bellwood and the fighting heroes And was full of irony.

For example, from the fifth layer that has passed through the maze layer, the wall is not stone, but changes to a layer composed of undead bone walls.

In this bone maze hierarchy, the only monster that is initially placed is the bone wall. The challenger simply follows the maze of bone walls, finds a simple hidden door that can be seen with a little care, and reaches the stairs beyond. That's it.

However, if the bone wall is damaged and damaged at least once, all the bone walls that make up the maze will be transformed into rank 6 to 8 skeleton-type monsters, which will flood the challengers.

Aldaists who have absolutely targeted the undead, especially those who want to be the successor to Bellwood who defeated the undead Zacht, often attack the Bournewall or do hundreds to thousands of You will fight endlessly with a flock of advanced skeletons.

If you keep defeating the skeleton, you can clear it because the maze disappears, but the difficulty is clearly the same as the A-class dungeon.

"Oh, sorry."

"Oh!

However, in the case of Vandaloo, it was easy to proceed as Bournewall voluntarily retreated just because he was at the head.

Knochen was pleased with the emergence of the same type of undead.

When we reached the stairs, the Knoghen was slightly larger. They seemed to have their bones separated.

From the sixth layer, which passes through the bone maze level, there is a layer that reproduces beautiful nature as it is, such as a lush bright forest, a clear lake, and a refreshing plateau.

The Huge Gratney Worm eats the trees of the forest, the huge poison frog demon Agly Venom Frog that secretes poison from the whole body and pollutes water, the poison that pollutes the air Asherbic moss sprinkling scales.

Following the hero Bellwood who was concerned about protecting the natural environment, and following the Nine Road who first agreed with his opinion, attacking the monster, a series of monsters with poisons and spores causing abnormal conditions will appear . And the stairs leading to the next level appear in the middle of the desolate forests and plateaus as a result of fierce fighting.

"The right answer is to leave monsters or help destroy nature .... I don't think Zachart liked nature's destruction, either."

"I think so, but I think this level is a trap for those who want to be Bellwood's successors."

Privelle and Gizania, while saying, stare a bit sadly at the forest that is being cut down, torn down, and shattered one after another.

"It's time to use our [cutting] skills!"

"Fuhahahah! The trees are like bowling pins!

"Ooooooooooooooooooooh

"... Can you calm down a little more?"

Vigaro that repeats logging work by swinging an ax, Legion that runs around while rotating in the forest with a [size change], Knoghen progressing while shaving the earth in a form like a huge bulldozer. And Belmondo cuts the trees with special yarn.

It will not take a few minutes for the forest to be completely naked. The scene where nature is destroyed is still sad somewhere.

The Huge Gratney Worm, whose job has been taken away, is lonely eating fallen leaves.

"I don't have any lumber, but it's impossible to carry all the sams on the stone. Oh, do you eat mammoth juice with Privel and Gizania?"

And Vandaloo cooked mammoth meat in stewed pork. This level is a good point for resting and eating because there are no monsters even when you take a break.

This time, Vandaloo, who is equipped with a large number of friends, has to take the nutrients required by his friends while wearing it, so you can not miss the chance of eating.

"Miso-made and exquisite!"

"Let's eat"

"Yeah"

They both had mammoth juice as invited by Vandaloo and Muse.

In the same way, they cleared the lake and plateau levels.

Huge Gratney Worms, which were originally in charge of destruction of nature, were taken over by Vandaloo.

In addition, a puzzle where the stone slabs with their achievements drawn on the feet of the statues of the seven heroes are cluttered and arranged correctly. A maze layer that mimics the structure of the human body, which would have been easy to capture if Zakart was a forensic scientist. In addition, a maze full of complex structures, dangerous monsters and traps, but some hierarchies were written in English or German-like languages disguised as patterns on the walls.

Challengers from human society who do not know the achievements of the heroes can not solve puzzles correctly, because they have not developed medical knowledge, they can not reach the correct exit of the maze, and even if the alphabet is transmitted Since no knowledge of foreign languages is transmitted, you have to capture dangerous mazes by yourself.

In the case of the Vandaloos, they had previously seen the achievements of the heroes in Vida's Sleeping Room, as well as documents left by Zachart and Ark. Also, the structure of the human body is too easy for Vandaloo and Legion with Surgery skills.

Especially in foreign languages, Vandaloo and Legion have mastered multiple languages in Origin. In the case of Vandaloo, the bilingual language used in military state laboratories. Legions are multiple languages that were acquired during the "Eighth Guidance," which spans the globe.

Of course, the language of Earth and the language of Origin are similar but slightly different. However, the strategy on the wall was written in simple short sentences, so there was no mistake in meaning.

"I have a good hobby with Gufadogan"

Ira was impressed and said so.

"Certainly, it's very hard on the members of Arda and Bellwood."

Vandaloo agrees with a rattling noise, but Ira said, "Not only that."

"Sir Vandaloo, this dungeon is tough for challengers who misunderstand its purpose and is encouraged to misunderstand that this is the right choice."

"... what is it?"

Elaora responds with a stout tone, responding with an attitude of excellence.

"I don't know, little girl? In the past, if you answer incorrectly, the challenger will certainly be in a dangerous situation. However, if you get over it, the stairs will appear and you can go on.

Therefore, the challengers of Arda and Bellwood believe that "this is definitely a test to be the successor to Bellwood" and repeat the wrong choices with the next mystery being misunderstood. ...... and die someday. "

Continue to mistake the penalty given for incorrect answers as a test. We can't tell us what is fundamentally wrong in the form of a dead end that can't be interpreted elsewhere.

The stronger the religion and respect for Arda and Bellwood, the harder it will be to notice that it is a penalty, not a trial.

Of course, there will be many people who think that something is wrong on the way, but that wouldn't make it possible to change their mindset one hundred and eighty degrees.

Even if it does, it doesn't mean that you will suddenly gain the right knowledge about the Zachato production heroes.

And irrespective of the Islays, this Trial of Zaccato makes monsters appear to those who quit and attempt to get out on their own feet, preventing escape.

Challengers outside the Boundary Mountains, who are exhausted and give up, will fall apart.

"That's right, do you understand?

After completing her explanation, Ira turned her eyes to Eleonora, but there was no consent on her face.

"No, I'm not asking for explanation, but asking why you have your chain!"

At the point where Eleonora points, Vandaloo, floating in the sky with [Flying], was doing something while holding the chain connected to Ira's collar with both hands.

"I don't know what the question is. It's only natural that my master, Vandalou, controls my chains! If you're sorry, you just need to have a chain or string. Oh, you didn't have a chain on your collar. I'm sorry if you don't, ''

"Kuu ~ tsu!"

Eleonora bites a finger at Islay, who stretches her chest and shows her collar and chain.

"No, I'm just remodeling the chain alchemy. It's not a stroll. Later, Eleonora's neck is a choker."

Vandalou, who is modifying a dead-iron chain, pointed calmly to the two.

Darcia, who is looking at the situation sideways, commented on Vandaloo working while flying because the Ira and the chain were delicately short.

"That's like Vandaloo has become a balloon."

She looks like a smiling sight.

"Ira's guess seems to be wrong, but that raises a question."

"Are you in doubt?"

Behind Islay and Eleonora sparking, Zadiris and Iris were talking seriously.

"Well, there have been a number of previous mysteries that seemed difficult to choose the correct answer, even with the right knowledge of the Zacharts.

I wondered how the people inside the border mountains who challenged it early on cleared it. ''

The Vandaloos had information of experienced people, but those who tried first should have no prior information. Even if you know the purpose of Gufadogan's dungeon, it may not be possible to answer everything correctly.

Iris replied to Zadiris, recalling the story of Godwin, his second father, and other evil spirits who have experienced challenges.

"The first challenger involved many intellectuals, including the Dark Elf King Gizan and the noble vampires who are usually in Vida's Sleeping Room. He seemed to be able to clear the mystery sack ... if it was incorrect, he was proud that his father and a few others managed with his strength. "

"I see, even within the border mountains, it was a golden team of brains equal to experts and the strongest fighters in the mountains.

As Ira has said, if you get over the monsters and activated traps that appear even with incorrect answers, you will proceed. The Godwins would have been happy to destroy a group of demons and shatter the trap with a calm face.

It would probably have passed on the information and experience gained to the challengers of the second and subsequent rounds.

"I'm more worried about the five-colored blade, which is the only outside challenger who survived."

Basdia says so and joins the conversation, which I didn't even know about in Iris.

"Come on, they said they didn't give a detailed story about The Trial of Zachart ... I just heard they told them that if they didn't have at least as much power as themselves, they would just die."

"Well, well, Van would be able to hear from the spirits of those who died in Gufadogan or dungeons."

As soon as Basdia finished talking, he saw the stairs leading to the next level.

Thus, they cleared about thirty levels in ten days.
