The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 233: Time is Needed to Protect Outreach
Demon runaway. It is a disaster that is more feared than an earthquake or tsunami in the "lambda" world.
A phenomenon in which too many monsters are released to the outside in a dungeon, in which case the monsters become more violent than normal and adhere to the instinct of harming humans.
As a result, as long as there are humans nearby, there is almost no fight between demons, and different races will be rushing toward the humans as if they were a group.
Depending on the grade of the runaway dungeon, not only villages and towns, but also nations may die.
That's why people in this world have been wary of monster runaway since ancient times. He asked adventurers to thin out dungeon demons, and at the same time, he continued his research.
As a result, it was found that the higher the dungeon grade, the longer the period before runaway occurs. As a result, runaway monsters have rarely occurred.
So it should not be possible. A monster runaway without any warning.
"Why ?! Why do so many dragons and giants come out !?"
"Run for good! Run away to the town before the gate closes!"
The young boys and girls were still running crazy, and far behind them, roaring dragons and roaring giants roared down the trees.
"Where do you come from, that dragon! Thunder dragon is in a mountain or valley!"
"Isn't this a dungeon runaway?"
"I don't mean that!"
The boy actually emerged as a result of a runaway dungeon, but the boy once denied it because it was impossible.
There are no dungeons in the dungeons around the town of Morksey where rank 8 thunder dragons or mountain giants appear. However, since dungeons occur naturally, it is undeniable that a B-class dungeon in which a monster of rank 8 or more newly appears may have appeared.
However, there has never been a case where a newly appearing dungeon can cause a runaway immediately.
"I know! I heard that the dungeon that appeared in one of the towns of the Dukes of Hartner caused a runaway soon!"
However, it is not a naturally occurring dungeon as the girl says, but a dungeon created by someone's will, or an under-managed dungeon.
For example, dungeons created by Vandaloo around the town of Niak in the Duke of Hartner, and Fitun's Labyrinth of Trials.
"What is it !? What's wrong with that !?"
One of the boys shouts unreasonably, but they can't do anything.
"Go for it! It's different from goblin hunting!"
They were rookie adventurers hunting for the goblin's defeat. Poor in ability, he cannot stop not only for Thunder Dragon and Giant, but also for other demons.
However, thanks to being in a shallow part of the magical area, their physical abilities have escaped in this way.
"Speaking of that, when a dungeon runaway happened, I heard you should escape into another dungeon !?"
A monster that has gone out of the dungeon will never return to the dungeon. By using it, the tricks of getting into the dungeon from oneself and escaping were reported among adventurers.
"The closest dungeon is near the herd of demons!"
"Then, where is the second closest dungeon?"
"Much farther than town! I can't get there!"
"Shit, no more!"
For boys and girls, however, they were unlucky and had to give up their strategy.
"GYAOOoooooo ... !!"
However, when the lead group Thunder Dragon screamed, it suddenly crashed.
"eh?"
The boys and girls looked back involuntarily, but turned their gaze back to see that it wasn't the case immediately. So they could not see the black thunder flying from the grassland.
Several other monsters with large bodies that can be aimed at from afar fall down and become obstacles for subsequent monsters. However, the monsters did not change course, and the augers and trawls that broke through the obstacles began to chase the boys and girls.
"Young people there! Retreat early!"
However, at the exit of the forest, he was called by an old woman who was bent back and had a screaming voice. Perhaps you are a part-time adventurer who came to hunt goblins just like you did. She wears leather armor and has a spear in her hand.
"Grandmother is also early!"
"Oh my eagle is good! I'm not good at running! I'll take as many as I can and take me back to town!"
The boys and girls silenced for a moment in the words of an old woman wearing a hood, but eventually ran past her.
"I'm sorry"
Leave that word on that occasion. That would have been an inevitable decision, because they could not afford to run with the old woman.
The old woman noticed she had shed tears and laughed at Nihil with her wrinkled face.
"... Huh! I've done something wrong! I hope they will overcome the feelings of guilt and helplessness that they have tasted in this event, and become future warriors!"
The old woman said in a tough voice, and walked toward the approaching demons.
"I don't mean to pay, but I have to play a role!
The enemy had foreseen that Vandaloo would launch a raid when he was out of town, but it is unexpected that swarms of monsters would never be forerunned! But I'm fine!
Come on, beasts! You are not in town! Put it out of town! "
The troll's club smashes the old woman with a single blow, and blood around ... no, only the meat splatters. The trawl also took a large amount of flesh, which was a lot of returning blood, but the next moment, the trawl was wiped out like a haze.
"Ugo !?"
"Go ~ !? Pengubo !?"
The trawls look for the appearance of their clan who suddenly disappeared, but they disappear the next moment as well as the first instance that disappeared.
When the pursuit of the demon was cut off, the boys and girls managed to escape to the town of Moxy.
In other places, suddenly the Thunder Dragon stopped heading to town, giants began to slaughter each other, and again, due to the dedication of adventurers who no longer know the name or face, who also injured the old man and legs. The adventurer managed to escape to town.
"[Thunder beasts!]"
The battle between Vandalu and Hajime Fitun began with a long-range attack from Hajime Fitun. Hajime Fitun creates a beast made of an electric shock similar to Itachi, and the heroes who take over the flesh of the Blade of Flames fire arrows from the bow and cast magic.
Their equipment had been transformed into something much more sophisticated than the ones we knew. They bought equipment in the Labyrinth of Trials in Fitun, as they could get information in Vandalu if they bought it in town.
"First, check your hands! [Soraho]!"
Gordon Bobby also shoots a stab at the Adamantite spear, which is longer than his back. The range of the martial arts is originally not so long, but it seems easy to see if Bobby's ability to manipulate the body is reflected to some extent.
"Melissa, Doug, I'll ask once."
"OK"
[Aigis] 's Melissa's stretched barrier will play Gordon Bobby's [Soraho], as well as arrows and magic. However, the thunder beast goes around the barrier and tries to aim at Bandarou.
"I'm in charge of the thunder beast!"
However, Doug's telekinetic fist of [Hecaton Kale] caught the thunder beast. He is crushed by an invisible fist and the thunder beast is wiped out.
"Captain, he's [Aigis] and [Hecaton Kale] !?"
"Yes, the last two people ... would have been incarnated as an elf, but they got black, that fucking woman. That rabbit was a horn, and the dark elf modoki was [Venus]! The other ... Isis !? Anyway, the woman of that race is a legion! Do what you taught! But don't overtrack it yet! ”
Hajime Fitun was surprised to be in the same human form as before, but Hajime Fitun, who was supposed to be a flesh that kneaded a doll made of meat in a spherical shape, but for the time being her legion I decided that she was transformed.
"Roger that!"
Following the instructions given, Gordon Bobby and the others continued to attack, unwavering that their attack was easily prevented. Instead of using martial arts, he just shoots arrows and throws short spears.
"... I wouldn't be surprised at our ability, would that be a hajime, but ..."
Doug was dislocated by Gufadogan's magic through the Demon King's Shadow, and leaned his head after seeing Hajime Fitun, a former friend who had infiltrated the same organization for many years and had to be familiar with his face.
"Is it really a hajime? I know you've reincarnated and rejuvenated, but it's hard to believe. Even with a punk hairstyle aside, the impression is too different. I've seen the sanctuary of Rodcorte before, more than two years ago Even so, it's too different! "
"... Yes, it's more than I heard."
[Aigis] nods Melissa to agree. Hajime's appearance had changed so much as two people who had been working together on a yearly basis had said so.
Originally a fairly nervous adolescent because of his fairness, he is now a boy with reasonably burnt skin and developed muscles.
Moreover, his eyes are bloodshot and his appearance of leading his subordinates and laughing is too far from his previous life.
"Sure, it was a very painful moment. I don't think it's spicy."
"What exactly hunted him down there?"
Isis and Kanako say so.
When Melissa and Doug heard that, they turned their eyes on them.
"... I guess it's because I was stabbed with acid after a dying serious injury with a bomb?"
"Because we are the same sins we discarded, we won't say anything ... you're the same, especially Kanako!"
"Okay, isn't it an old thing?"
That's Kanako, but she hasn't actually been three years since she stopped Hajime at the origin.
"Oh, that fucking girl!"
Hajime Fitun knew the lips of Kanako and understood what he was saying, as he was already within visible distance of each other.
The head boils instantaneously, and at the same time, the legs shake.
"That captain? Is it a warrior quake?"
"Chip ... because of the original owner of this body."
Although Fitun hijacks Hajime Inui's body, Hajime's soul is not asleep. Although it is swallowed by Fitun, it continues to assimilate.
As a result, Fitun gained Hajime's knowledge of another world, but also shared the trauma Hajime had.
(A normal woman was okay because she was okay. And she was the one who killed Hajime in her previous life ...
Hajime Fitun had overcome the trauma as such, but the impact of himself implanted on the stone was unexpectedly unexpected.
On the other hand, the defense-oriented Vandaloos had Melissa leaning inside the barrier.
"It's a lot different besides Hajime. It's Gordon of" blade of fire "and" hard arm "around you, right? ... I don't think it's a D-class adventure party. You should be an axe, not a spear. ''
"Well, the movement is good, C ... No, it is more than B class and less than A class. Gordon also, that spear handling is not a burnt blade."
"Seriously. Is it possible to raise your arms in such a short time !?"
"It's usually impossible. Hajime wakes up as a mentoring job and guides them, and the" blade of fire "is also a genius talent, receiving the blessing from God, and setting up an optimal environment for training. If it was done, there is a possibility. ''
"That's almost impossible."
In a month or so, it is almost impossible to get the ability equivalent to a D-class to B-class adventurer, as Vandalou said. Simon and Natania are still far from class B. Even Kashim, a fellow Vandaloo adventurer in Tarosheim, has taken years to improve.
"Gordon would definitely not be able to do it. I don't know his status ... but maybe he has some jobs in ax art, such as the [axitor]. Just a month is not enough to become. ''
"Actually, is it possible to hide your skills?"
"I don't think I can do such dexterity."
Vandaloos who are puzzled by the Blades of Fire and Gordon's strangeness. In an attempt to find out the cause, Kanako activates [Venus] across the barrier ... but after a while she shook her head.
"No way. I won't try to match my gaze with me. It seems impossible to copy and explore the memory with [Venus]. In return, copy my short memory and paste it appropriately I was able to do it. "
"Uoooooooo!"
At the same time as Kanako said, the giant shield of "Fire Blade" screamed and shook back. The complexion that was uplifting in the battle and was ruddy was now blue.
"What did you show?"
"Even art that enriches the mind with memories in seconds"
Apparently, Kanako showed the giant shield a memory of the picture on the roof of the building in Tarosheim.
"I thought that if I went well, I would be able to pull to this side, or at least I would destroy my fighting spirit, but it seems like it was useless."
While Kanako was saying so, a giant shield sword used a sling and began throwing stones with the long throw technique. Apparently he got over his fear with anger.
However, stones whose range has been extended by martial arts will not reach Kanako after being hit by Melissa's barrier like arrows and magic.
"I don't mind this much, but am I going to prevent it?"
"No, I'm sorry, but the response was a bit weird. In the past, when I used [Venus] for my opponent with multiple personalities, it sounds like a similar ... Do you hear anything from Natania?
"No, especially"
Asked by Kanako, Vandalu shook his head, recalling zombies such as the Thunder Dragon and the Mountain Giant, which he had used to help evacuate the late.
"In addition to multiple personalities, I haven't heard that the shield man uses throwing .... I guess something was done with [Marionette] 's ability."
"I'm pretty guessed, but how long will you be content with the defensive? Take the time to make the town dangerous?"
Doug asks, pointing to the wall about two kilometers behind them, but Vandaloo shakes his head.
"Dag, if you hurry to defeat them, the demonic runaway will not stop .... I heard from the demon spirits, but they didn't seem to have been manipulated by them."
According to Vandalu, Hajime Fitun caused a runaway in the dungeon, but did not manipulate monsters. For them, it was enough for the flock of monsters to go to the town of Morxie, so they had no fine control.
"And if we don't take this time, our social position is dangerous .... this is too close to the town."
"I don't have binoculars or telescopes in this world, but there's magic to look farther, to enhance my vision or magnify the image."
Behind the moxy walls, there is a watchtower at regular intervals, where soldiers are located. From there, they should be being watched.
"... Wow, it's awkward!"
"Now, there are soldiers who are watching this magically. They can't afford to see this ... I can't do much flashy until the town's defense war begins ..."
"Social life is difficult"
Vandalou shoots Hajime Fitun and turns Kimberly into black thunder. Thus, while exploring the number of soldiers looking at this with [Abyss] skills, he was trying to fight off and on the level that would make it a misconception that it was a category of common sense.
Dragon zombies and giant zombies were just shot with [black thunder], so if you don't observe much detail, it looks as if monsters are just fighting each other.
As for Kimberly, there are many ways to deceive even if pursued.
However, there is no way to be able to demonize the use of [soul fighting] and the magic that causes great damage to the surroundings.
"So, what's the pathogen that you did in the past? If it's a disease that only affects races and elves and dwarves, will it work for most of them?"
"... Actually, it's been done. It seems that the infection has been prevented in some way."
"Even though I'm turning to the outdoors, it's an innocence!"
Yes, Doug swears, but Hajime Fitun's attacks, which were once prepared for the pathogens used by Vandaloo on the Milg shield expedition, continue.
Of course, this time can be gained because there is some margin.
In the town of Morksey, a group of demons of ranks 8 and 9 has the ability to exterminate while performing tougher performances ... Darcia, Miles, Eleonora, Basdia and Zadiris. And, in case of unforeseen circumstances, Gufadogan and others are prepared.
Don't worry about town defense.
But if the Hajime Fituns use powerful magic that engulfs the town behind Vandalu, or if the Kanakos are in danger, Vandalu will be serious.
… And that was what Hajime Fitun and others were aware of.
"But fortunately there seems to be a reason to earn more time."
As Isis put it, Hajime Fitun needed time. For the purpose other than to suppress the trauma planted in them.
"Captain, are you still? This is a waste of arrows and magic!"
"Still!"
Hajime Fitun keeps waiting to keep the impatient minions in check, because there are still unseen minions in action surrounding the town of Moxy.
Hajime Fitun had instructed them to "go to the town to chase after the monster runaway and destroy the ramparts as brilliantly as possible."
In order to draw the attention of Vandaluo to the town and to pull more friends from around him.
(If the eyes and lives of the townspeople are gone, they won't kill everyone because it's awkward, but if you kill dozens of people when you destroy the walls, you'll be impatient.
This is just a minion with a time limit. I'll cut it down as much as I can, and let me kill you! )
Time goes back before Vandaloo and Hajime Fitun check each other.
Soldiers were rushing on each of the watchtowers on the ramparts. But most of its attention was directed to the herd of demons approaching the town's main gate.
It was the same with the nearest watchtower from Vandalu.
"I was at least fortunate that the big guys started fighting each other."
"Oh, I wondered if I had defeated the Thunder Dragon for a moment ... but what was that?"
"Come on. I feel like I saw something black for a moment ... did you throw any confusing poison or something?"
The soldiers, who were surprised by the Thunder Dragon, became so terrified of fear that they did not realize that Vandaloo had defeated the dragon.
I knew what Vanderlu did, but shortly afterwards the Thunder Dragon began to move again and began to attack other monsters, so she assumed that she had "confused the Thunder Dragon in some way".
In fact, the Thunder Dragon, which was defeated with [Black Thunder], is undead and manipulated, but ... The dragon who had been electrocuted seemed intact in the distance, so he misunderstood that he was alive.
After that, Vandaloo defeated other dragons and giants with [Black Thunder], but mainly used [Black Thunder], so even if soldiers witnessed, Thunder Dragon or Vandaloo named I thought they were doing things they didn't know about.
"If there are many Thunder Dragons and other flying monsters surviving, the walls are meaningless."
"It's a giant. A hill giant is a rabbit, and for a mountain giant, a city wall is like a thin board.
"Oh, I saw it for the first time ... It's ridiculous for a high-ranking monster."
The soldiers protecting the town have basically no chance to see them, except for low-ranking monsters such as goblins that live near the town. High-ranking demons, such as ranks 7 and 8, appeared only in fairy tales and bard songs.
If soldiers do not know the detailed ecology and abilities, it is reasonable.
In addition, soldiers assigned to the Watchtower are selected for those with relatively good vision and who use magic to assist vision. However, the best are assigned around the rampart gates. As a result, no one in the mid-wall department, such as the Watchtower, could see in detail what Vandalou, more than two kilometers away, was doing.
"But isn't he coming back to town because he's confusing the monsters?"
The alarm bells signaling an emergency are ringing. You should be able to hear it when you are away, but Vandaloo doesn't seem to move from the grassland. One of the soldiers who thinks it's strange asks a staring colleague.
"What about Daniel?"
"I don't seem to be doing anything especially ... but maybe it's better not to come back."
A soldier named Daniel, who has enhanced his sight with life-attribute magic, only speculates that the surviving boy is Vandarou from a nearby Fang giant.
"Even if I try to return from now, I may be able to share with the demons and ... if I am alone away from the city, I may survive."
It is a fact that Daniel said. Runaway monsters instinctively attack humans, so first aim at this town where many people are. A boy alone on the meadow will be blind.
"……That's right"
Many monsters have dropped out, but the herd is still alive. There are reports that there seems to be a rank 7 auger king and a troll berserker.
To the soldiers, the town of Moxy and their destiny seemed like a windlight.
"Hmm? Hey, those guys ... what's he doing ?!"
However, Daniel suddenly shouted and distorted his face in anger.
"What happened, what do you see?"
"Vandaloo seems to be attacked by some thieves!"
"Pirate !? At such a time !?"
"Oh no doubt! I was hiding in the shadows of the grass, there are some people around Vandaloo, but they seem to be allies ... can you help?"
"What a guy! Attacking a Tamer without a Demon!"
Daniel notices the assault on Hajime Fitun and others, but his eyes do not reflect the Aigis barrier or the Hekatonkale movement. So it seemed that the Vandaloos were being attacked unilaterally and managed to prevent them.
There, the messenger comes to give them instructions.
"Abandon this tower! Go to the main gate! Order that magical soldiers must come!"
"... I understand! I can't do anything while watching the crisis of the town's benefactor ...!"
Daniel, a soldier who just bite sorcery, could not go against the order and went down the tower with his colleagues to solve the magic of [improvement of vision] and head to the main gate.
In fact, without knowing that it was the greatest support he could give to Vandalu.
Vandaloo, who had noticed Daniel's gaze with the effect of the [Abyss] skill because he was watching with magic, knew that he no longer needed to earn time.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Job Description: Demi Urgosul Cigliano
A job that indicates that you are a subgod. In the Lambda world, no human being has ever reached God with a living state.
Gods of human origin are those who have finished their human lives and have come to God after their death. With a few exceptions, these are non-human beings that have gone through special processes, such as merging with evil and evil gods, or changing from humans to dragons and true giants.
As a teacher, there is no precedent for reaching a sub-god as a human (Dumpel). For this reason, I guess it is this job called [Demiurgos] that the status gods squeezed out of trouble.
Well, I suppose I had already reached the sub-god when I was spreading blessings around.
A special job that can give [Emesis Demon] skills to those who meet the conditions other than the person who did the job, as well as the person who granted the job.
And the religious sentiment received from the believer can be used as experience. In the case of the teacher, there is a curse of [Experience value cannot be obtained], but the experience value gained by the passive method of being able to direct religion may not be within the range of his own strength.
From this, it seems that the teacher cannot strongly oppose the construction of his own statue in the future.
