The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 174: Those Who Dive Through the Gate and Those Who Can't Stand Even Before
A test of 68 levels. As the invaders move in two steps, a rank 13 demon-shaped golem and an Orichalcum Devil Statue appear in each room.
A trial where you have to beat it within 10 seconds of error, that is, at almost the same timing. If unsuccessful, the Orichalcum Golem will continue to play indefinitely.
The goddess of water and knowledge, one of the powers received by the brave Soldier from Peria, seems to be a trial based on the ability to “synchronize and share the consciousness, knowledge, and experience of self and fellow”. Soldiers have used this power not only to share their knowledge and experience in technical development, but also in actual combat command, according to Vida's Sleep.
Of course, even if you don't have the same power as solder ... If you can keep killing the Orichalcum Devil Statue as many times as you like in each room, you will be able to go through the trials at some point in time.
"Fight the Orichalcum Golem! I ’ll return you someday!
"Ooh oh oh!
"Doooooooo!
"I'll tell you, it's a different image!"
Volks, Knocken, and the boners struggle with the Orichalcum dragon golem that protected Vida's heritage under the palace of Tarosheim, and attacked the Orichalcum Devil Statue violently while receiving the Eleonora's tsukkomi.
Orichalcum devil statue was cut down by a sword made of Volks and a fragment of Eleonora's Demon King, where the movement slowed down because it was clung to Knochen's bone because it was several steps inferior to the golem made by the goddess. It has been done.
Before the Orichalcum Devil Statue completely ceased functioning, said the alter ego and body of Vandalu, who was watching the war in the back.
"Now"
"Please stab within ten seconds."
"Seriously, Cal!
"Leave a foothold"
"'Larara ~ ♪'"
"I'll borrow someday!"
Belmond controlled the movement of the Orichalcum Devil Statue with the thread spun from `` The Demon King's Hair '', where Yamagata's sound wave attack and the fist blow wearing a dead iron of Lapiesage, and Vigaro holding a new ax made of dead iron Perform a special attack.
Vigaro's ax returned to liquid, split into four strokes in an instant, and was held in each hand.
"[Deadly ax blade]!"
Activate the martial art of [Lion Death Axe] and fold at once.
"Woooooo ..."
The Orichalcum Devil Statue fell apart and stopped functioning, unable to withstand the intense slashing that filled the space.
"Do you not play?"
"Wow! I won!
The body and spiritual vandaloo nods to the cheers in each room.
"So, let's collect Orichalcum and move on."
"Sure, you should be able to join in the aisle ahead of this room."
Vandaloo and the alter ego of the spiritual body always share memory and will. Therefore, it was not difficult to match the timing.
In the next 69-level test, mental strength is tested. All walls, ceilings, and floors are decorated with illusions that disturb the brain and disorient the sense of direction when seen, and annoying sounds of fear and irritation are heard from nowhere, even in the air There is a smell.
Moreover, the whole layer is a maze, and a golem-type monster without spirit blocks the way.
This is a trial that refers to one of the abilities that the brave Ark received from Regent's "Time and Sage Genie", "It does not receive external mental effects including illusion and poison."
This challenge can also be captured without the same ability by using mental resistance skills and magic items.
"The maze is troublesome. Want to go straight?
"Golem is also awesome. After strange odor ~. Bo-chan, what is it?
"You can repel walls with the [Maze Creation] skill, but it doesn't make much sense because you don't know where the exit is in this level. Apparently, it seems like a mechanism where the exit does not appear unless we advance to some extent .
If the smell is [deodorant], the smell will come out soon, so I guess it's useless. "
However, for Rita and Saria, living unarmed undead with five senses different from humans, and for Vandaloo, who possesses a [deformed spirit] skill whose mental structure is different from humans, it is only a maze where a golem appears.
The maze was not so large, so I could reach the exit in less than an hour by touching the wall with my left hand.
The test of the seventy-story was a drawing work.
When you enter the room, an image is projected on the wall that seems to use [light attribute magic]. The film shows a craftsman-like person carving a stone statue using production skills, kneading clay to make a pot, and repairing a perforated pot.
You have to do the same thing with the material in each room. If it fails, it is forcibly transferred to the upper depot and starts again from the trial of the virtual image.
This is a test based on one of the strengths that the hero Hilwillow received from the Earth and Treasure Mother God, and that he could copy the production skills he saw for a day.
Even if you don't have this ability, you can still clear it if you have more than one person with a high level of production skills.
"So, let's move on to the next level."
"It wasn't surprising."
And Vandaloo is integrated with the [Golem Creation] skill, but has multiple production skills. Talea, who usually waits at Sam's carrier, was also very active at this level.
The 71st level, the test of this level is agriculture.
Grain seeds must be planted on the ground in a pot of the size of a handful and harvested.
The seeds are mixed with seeds of different varieties with different vitality and expected yield. It must be identified through insight, intuition, and life attribute magic, and further promoted in some way.
This is an ordeal based on the blessings received by the brave Zakart from the Goddess of Life and Love, Vida, and the strengths of the five senses and their suitability for high life attribute magic.
This is the easiest of the 68 trials to date. If there is a master of life attribute magic or a super expert of time attribute magic, you can clear it immediately. … As it's challenging the dungeon to pick a successor to Zaccato, it's only natural to add a life magician to the members.
In the case of Vandalu, select some of the seeds that seem relatively responsive with [life detection] from the seeds, swallow them, and grow rapidly with the effect of the [planting] skill integrated with [grouping] Good.
"... Is this cereal a rice breed?"
Some were vandaloos that were kept in the body because they were valuable in documentation and could help improve the varieties of the rice grown in Scylla's settlement.
And the advanced 72 layers. The statues of challengers who died in the dungeon after challenging outside the border mountain range are displayed on the hierarchy.
The giant, glossy polished stone gate is engraved with the words, "People who choose worthless heroes and pray to God, burn the end of their ancestors in return for this far."
There are countless stone statues around the gate as the word suggests. The bust, head and limbs are displayed on the gates and walls like reliefs.
Each of them is elaborately made. If you look at the head, you can see that the ear holes and the tongue and teeth in the mouth are well made. Above all, the expression is so powerful that the face distorted by fear and pain is not just a creation.
It is as if the dead immediately after losing life were petrified as they were.
"Perhaps it's Gufadogan's production, which misunderstands and crushes the hearts of the Aldaists who have come this far."
Luciliano commented while sketching, sketching a group of stone statues that seemed to be ill for such a long time.
"But why do you petrify? [Petrification Magic Eye] should only have an effect on creatures, and is it a curse or earth attribute magic? Is it just a stone statue? "
"Luciliano doesn't seem to scare me."
Pouvina said, looking down at the back of Luciliano's head, muttering himself, sketching a sculpture of a sculpture statue with a broken abdomen and exposed internal organs.
"Everyone is afraid."
But not only Luciliano, but almost everyone, were not afraid of the statue. If you are a friend of Vandaloo, you will get used to the corpse, and you and your friends are undead in the first place. Will not be upset immediately.
"I wonder if it's a bit pitiful. And if the face is half-crushed, it's harder than ever."
"... If you look at the race or the elf's corpse, it just looks like 'the helpless people have sacrificed.'
Gizania, who grew up inside the Border Mountains, where the Privel, who is unfamiliar with the race, and races, elves, and dwarves are basically non-combatants, do not look good.
"And what about your husband?"
Belmond speaks to Vandalu, who was investigating whether the corpse was really petrified. She screams surprised when her tail is caught by a crab, but she seems to feel nothing in the stone statues.
"I think 90% of the bodies are petrified."
Vandalu, who explored the inside of the statue with the arm that was made spiritual by [Empowerment], replied.
"In addition to the wound, the inside of the safe part is also elaborately reproducing the human body. Bone, brain, blood vessels. There is a possibility of elaborate duplication made by magic, but at that point, There's no reason to make it ... it's very difficult to reproduce the capillaries even with my [golem creation] skills. "
"I guess it's too hard to think. Is there any other reason you can only be confident about 90%?"
"If this stone statue was a corpse, there is no spirit that should have drifted."
Looking at the stone statues, the monsters and traps in the dungeon have been deadly killed. If so, how much memory and personality you have in your life is preserved in rabbits, and it is unnatural that spirits do not drift.
"Really? Isn't it floating like a mosquito column around the shaven? "
"As Volks says, since the beginning of" The Trial of Zachart, "there's a lot of spirits around Vandaloo."
"Volks, mom, that's the spirit that I possess before entering the dungeon."
In the undead Volks and the spiritual Darussia, you can see spirits. However, there are always countless spirits around Vandalu, so it seems that it was indistinguishable whether it was a stone-carried corpse spirit or not.
When I was told by Vandalu, I thought back and Volks muttered.
"If you say it, surely look at the spirit except around the shaven."
"Is that so? I remember seeing the demon spirit so much
"Unnie, that's the demon spirit we've defeated. When you're just in a new tier and you're not fighting demons, you haven't seen any of them. ''
"But Rita, that's not normal in dungeons."
Even in dungeons other than "The Trial of Zaccato", there are many monsters on each level. When they increase too much, they start killing each other, but the monsters quickly return to the circle of reincarnation because they are unlikely to leave strong grudges and inexperience with life like humans. It's even more so if you're a dungeon demonic subject to mental rule.
So it's not uncommon for no spirits to drift unless there is another intruder first, or just after passing by.
"Saria, but with so many challengers dead, I don't think it's safe to have that spirit drifting."
There are innumerable stone statues, and the exact number is unknown because there are many people whose five bodies are fragmented. However, there seems to be about a thousand people.
Human spirits, unlike monsters, tend to leave strong grudges and pirates, so they may stay in this world without returning to the circle of reincarnation for more than several hundred years. If you were killed in mid-life like challengers, you shouldn't be light.
"But, Vandaloo, isn't that the case if your head is destroyed by one blow or suddenly hit and you are fatally injured?
"Oh, there is a possibility."
As Ira points out, if you die without realizing it, you may return to Rinne before you have grudges or patience. Looking at the stone statues, many statues seem to have died instantly with a single blow.
"But there was so much grudge in the supplies that were lined up at the depot, so it's hard to imagine everything. Well, after putting all the grudges on the things I wore, It's possible that he went back to the reincarnation wheel lightly. ''
"... I hate such spirits a little"
"If you can do an autopsy, you know if you've died instantly or not, but it's difficult if you're petrified."
Legion's Isis continued, stroking one of the stone statues.
"Even if not, isn't it unnatural? Until now, I wondered if you were in the place where the corpse is stored, not where it was killed, but there are no insect spirits here. "
"Well then, maybe Gufadogan is collecting only the spirits elsewhere, or maybe he's purifying it if he's undead without permission.
Anyway, I can't help what I don't have. "
And Darussia signed it. Certainly, there is no help for things that are not.
"So what do you do, Bochan? Looking for a stone statue of a female elf named Martina?
Sam returned to the subject. Vanderlu was interested in the location of the challenger's corpse, because he wanted to use the corpse of Martina, a female spirit elf who was a member of The Five Colored Blades. And here are some thousand stone statues whose bodies are thought to have changed.
"... In my opinion, it's unlikely that you'll find it.
However, as Zadiris says, there are many stone statues that cannot be immediately identified as racial or elf due to head damage at first glance.
By comparison, the elf and female adventurers are a minority, and can be clearly distinguished from dwarves and beasts. Both races can be identified even if they are only below the neck by dissecting them and examining them in detail.
In particular, the proportions of the stone statues here seem to be higher in race, dwarf, and beast race men. It will not be difficult to reduce the number to more than a dozen.
"Yes, it seems difficult, so let's give up collecting here."
However, it is a problem after squeezing down to a dozen. There is hardly any criterion for further selection.
"Sure, your Majesty, you've heard the voice but you don't know the face, right?"
Yes, Vandaloo had only heard the voice of a woman like Martina through the insect undead, never seen her face directly!
"Yes. I've heard what the face looks like in my hearing, but ... hair like gold melted, blue eyes like jewelry, skin like white porcelain, slender limbs, plumpness I ’m like a body ”
"Hearings, especially those of the royal aristocracy and heroes, cannot be relied upon. My limbs are thin, my body is full, and I'm scared if it's true
As Zandia says, hearsay is still not helpful. The only one you can count on is the color of your hair and eyes.
"Blond and blue eyes aren't helpful either. All are now stone-colored."
But Bastia laments that she can't count on the petrification now.
"It's impossible to tell what you have. The guild's registration card hanging from the neck is also fossilized and sticks to the skin. '
As Olbia says, she drops her shoulder after seeing a stone statue of a female elf dressed almost half-naked.
... It is clear from the above that there was a replenishment station where items belonging to the challengers were collected, but the stone statue here had all weapons, accessories and luggage removed.
The stone statues are not naked at all, but wear light and underwear under the armor.
It is not clear whether Gufadogan was reluctant to strip naked, or was hesitant to arrange another person's underwear, which was not a magic item, at the depot, or just troublesome.
But unless the underwear is embroidered by name, it would be impossible to tell.
All eyes were on Luciliano, who was active in the Milg shield country during the adventure days, but he frowned and shook his head. He seems to have never seen Martina directly.
"Let's try it at the end."
After reaching for the appropriate stone statue, Vandaloo tries to see if he can get rid of petrification and return to the original corpse with Hades Magic. Then, from the part he touches, a cold and hard stone statue gradually returns to the cold but softness of the human body.
Friends wondered, "Oh !?", but when a certain range returned to the human body, the advancement was stopped, and the stone turned into a stone again.
"Well, it seems that the curse that petrified is always being applied. Even if I return my whole body to the corpse, I do not know if the curse can be solved, so let's give up."
"Is that so. Can you put some on my bed?
Even if you can only squeeze a few dozen, you can still carry it on Sam's bed.
"Let's stop it. It's heavy and bulky and cumbersome. If you have time to go home, carry it."
However, it seemed time-consuming, so he stopped and opened the gate.
And at this level, it was a test of needing to advance while fighting the Fobia demon and its higher species who constantly wear an aura that threatens humans in the fog ... but was quickly destroyed by the Vandaloos It was
Fearful auras have little effect on Vandalu and undead who do not have a human mental structure. On the contrary, by activating the [Fear Aura] skill, on the other hand, the sign became clear and it was like a shout "I'm here!" From the other side of the fog, so it was just a good target .
One of the magical territories in the Duke of Fazon, Heinz and his five-colored blades were waiting for the Trials of Zachart.
The preparation is already finished.
An almost infinite number of items can be stored in the item box, which includes food, daily necessities, spare weapons and potions, magic crystals, and winter clothing and magic items that are effective against the harsh environment in the dungeon.
In particular, food and water are available for about a year, so there is no worry about struggling inside the dungeon as in the previous case.
Of course, he has gained the ability to capture "The Trial of Zaccato" and the knowledge and wisdom to capture the trials at a deeper level than the last time.
Heinz, who was four at that time, lost Martina and became three, but increased the number of dependable friends to five. It also has the power to seal out a runaway [Shard of the Demon King].
If we fought again with the original vampire Tenesia, we could win this time. I'm so sure.
Find out about knowledge and wisdom, the magician's guild, the temple of Arda, the Bellwoods who defeated the Demon King in the library of the elected kingdom, and the heroes such as Ark, Solda, Hill Willow, etc., who have not left much legend and lore, Was.
Farmaun Gord, who spread the method of processing monsters in the adventurer's guild that he founded, was able to learn unexpected truths, such as the achievements of the four arcs.
However, few legends, traditions, or achievements have been left about the feared "fallen hero." Challenge Zachart to become Bellwood's successor. Heinz, who thinks about Zackart's Trial, would like to know more about him than anything else.
"Preparation is ready ... it should be, but what happened?"
In the hot summer sun, Heinz sighed, saying so. Point your gaze at the magical item, "Searcher of Trial", which can detect the next place where "Trial of Zachart" appears in your hand.
It still pointed to the wall of the valley.
About two months ago, it has not changed since early summer.
"I have to wait for all this, but be careful not to dull your arms."
Jennifer, a fighter, rang out on Heinz's back.
"I don't know why I'm going to stop because I've been waiting so long?"
"No wonder"
Looking back, Jennifer's face and the improvised camp village behind her came into sight.
"If you say that you pull so far and stop for that reason, you are likely to be beaten."
"I won't beat, I'll kick up.
Isn't that Trial Investigator broken? "
"Oh, I've been checked several times over the last two months. It's working fine."
"Then, just like yesterday, you just have to wait until the" Zacht Trial "appears."
Diana, the elven priestess, appears, wiping her wet hair.
"Summer bathing is good, how about Heinz sweating?"
“… Is it even a bathhouse? In a month or so, it is likely that full-scale construction will begin with the development of a magical area.”
The camp village, which was just beyond Heinz's gaze, was initially small enough for Heinz to wait until "The Trial of Zachart" appeared.
However, while waiting for two months, supporters have stayed in support of Heinz and peddlers have come to connect with their S-class adventurers and honorable nobles. The camp gradually spread.
Its size is already beyond small villages. Although this is a dangerous magical area where monsters seem to be flying.
"It's good too. It's not that big magical area and there's no dungeon."
"Jennifer's killing time has reduced the number of demons."
Heintz who had no time to wait for a long time had returned to the town several times, but it was not calm to leave for a long time, and in this state he received other requests and dived into the dungeon Was hesitated.
For this reason, he was hunting for this demonic monster to kill time. As a result, there was no way that the demons of rank 5 at the maximum could compete with Heinz, and the number of demons was reduced in an instant.
As a result, the temporary camp village was peaceful, even though it was in a magical environment. Nevertheless, once every few days, intellectual monsters, such as goblins, attack, but have been eradicated by Heinz supporters and ex-Arda militant criminal slaves.
"It may be that Duke Fazon is already planning a pioneering plan or is already in the preparatory stage."
"If you come out of 'The Trial of Zaccato,' you may be a complete village, not a magical area."
"Heintz, that's it ..."
"I don't know if I don't tell you ... I don't know where the 'Zacquart's Trial' is, but there are challengers other than us, and have survived internally for at least a month or more Same or better as we did before. "
"Zacquard's Trial" will [transfer] to another place about a month after it appears if there is no challenger inside.
Conversely, as long as there is even one challenger inside, it will stay in that place forever.
Next, saying that Zacquard's Trial will not appear on the wall of this valley where it will transfer will mean that someone is trying.
"There's no one else who knows nothing but me. I've heard that Heinz and others warned that there were few other challengers."
"Who is it? If a B-class or higher adventurer moves, it's almost like a rumor."
"Diana, class B is not enough. Being in the middle of more than a month must be class A or better. Yes, Heinz."
"I think ... it will be at least a month later."
It has survived for more than two months, maybe three months, in the Trials of Zaccato.
If you have survived that much time, are you reaching the level of the snowy mountain on the 42nd floor where you turned back? With that in mind, Heinz struggled with complex emotions.
"... We want to capture" The Trials of Zachart "by ourselves, but I don't want to wish for the failure of the challenger who is now trying somewhere ..."
The appearance of "The Trial of Zachart" before Heinz is when there are no more challengers who may be inside now. That means death with a high probability.
"Don't worry, they're prepared for that. You've survived, you don't necessarily die."
"That's right ... yes. Let's pray to Arda. They will survive."
"That's right. Arda will surely want it."
So they were three praying shortly for the survivors of the challengers somewhere ... but I didn't dream that neither the prayed Arda nor the challengers Vandaloo would be pleased.
On the contrary, it was completely unexpected that the Vandaloos had crossed the level of the ice field that was already below the level of the snowy mountains and had reached the lower levels.
Heinz continues to wait for the "Trick of Zachart" that may appear today.

Demon commentary: by Orochiurchiriano
Yamata who was ranked up to a race with a part of the name Yamatano Orochi in the document left by the hero Hilwillow. Yamata is not Orochi, but Yamata is Orochi.
According to the teacher, Yamatano Orochi and Yamata in the tradition of the earth are different in shape and number of necks. Well, I don't think the status gods are familiar with the traditions of different worlds, so maybe they don't take into account differences such as the number of heads, head shape, or being undead in the first place.
He emits a sound wave attack of [screaming] skill with nine heads, irritates the spirit of those who saw it with [Fear Aura], and recently can also cast [Non-Attribute Magic]. In addition, it has the same [Ability Strengthening: Creator] skill as Lapiesage. …… The first thing I created was the original vampire, Tenesia, but after remodeling, the teacher seems to be the creator.
Maybe Yamata simply doesn't remember Tenesia.
Since magic can be used for the time being, it may be the closest to a magical girl after Zadiris among those who currently have transformation wands. But what exactly is a magical girl?
Also, she seems to have gained a unique skill similar to blessing like Lapiesage, but ... It seems unreadable, so it is unknown what deity it was given.
