The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

The condition for mimicry to deprive a skill is assimilation of the target ... predation.

And that doesn't mean you just have to eat. In order to deprive the skill, it is necessary to prey while the target is alive because the target is an insect's breath. Of course, even if the subject is alive, it is useless to prey on a part that has passed away from the subject and has no soul.

If you only want to capture your figure or voice, simply observing it is enough, but you need to meet the above conditions to deprive your skills.

The amount of predation required to deprive a skill depends on the size of the target, the number of skills possessed, and the type and level of the skill.

Roughly speaking, you need to divide your body size by the number of skills you own, and prey on that amount based on the type and level of that skill.

For example, if you wanted to take one passive skill and one unique skill from a boy who was smaller than average and had many skills, you had to eat about half your arm.

"... Nuh!"

Stopping to imitate Valdilia and returning to being a Knight of the Fall, Gordi fluttered away and shattered the ground, escaping anger.

"Uoooooo!"

Almost at the same time, his partner cuts [magical bullets] with the sword lent by Goldi and escapes the crisis.

"" Oh, it's impossible! "

And uttering the same words, she glares at Vandaloo. However, he was glared, ignoring the two screams, repeatedly issuing and removing [magic bullets], twisting his neck with drifting black magic.

Until now, those whose skills were deprived of their predation, who survived without dying, used to be upset and calm.

Forgetting to lose a part of his body, he tried to regain his lost skills and came to the ground, or on the contrary, tried to escape without mercy. Some have begged and begged to return their skills.

No more upset than a bit surprised, only Vandaloo tried to kill him.

"Hmmm ... I don't think there is any particular change in my mind and body even if I lose my skills. Since my skills seem to be" carved into my soul, "I was prepared to lose some of my memory. "

"What about magic?

"You can use non-attribute magic, but death-type magic seems to be difficult. There is death-type magic, but it doesn't come together at all."

I was still talking to the ghosts around me and checking myself.

Even if you try to activate rudimentary [sterilization] magic, it will not work. However, if you consume magic power several hundred times normal, it is difficult to control the magic power to spread, but you can use it.

"I can't use it, but difficult magic will probably fail."

"Well, it's better to stop [dead bullets]. If you fly off on the way, it will be a catastrophe. ''

As Princess Levia said, if the [dead bullet] that sucks the life force of the hit target scatters like a shot, it is a catastrophe. Even the shards will be killed by the average person if hit, and those who have taken several job changes in combat positions are dangerous.

"But it doesn't seem like all death-attribute magic can be used, so it's going to work."

If you call on the spirit, you can quickly make a small golem with [Golem Creation], and if you can also talk with ghosts, you can use [God Magic].

"So, is [Maou no Fragment] OK?

When asked by Olbia, Vandalou turns some of his consciousness into himself, but there is no sign that the Demon King's Fragment is looking to Goldi, looking at Vandaloo who has lost the Demon King skill. .

[Body? I am the body? I am the main body? ]

[I am me? Am I? ]

But I was really confused. At some point, they may try to get out of Vandalu's body or run away and begin to take control of the body.

"I am me, I am. Some of me, I and I are the same, belong to me."

[I am I, I am. I am a part of me, I and I are the same, belong to me]

Calmed down. This should be fine.

(I was surprised to lose the skill, but there was no effect except for the loss of the skill. The demon king's shard also subsided immediately. Regarding memory, it may be the effect of [complete recording technique])

To find out more, Vandaloo turned around and asked the duke of Duke of Takkard Al Krem, who was unable to keep up with the situation, and the knights trying to protect him.

"Lalmere, do you know what skill he used when he ate my left arm?"

"Hah! [Mimicry: creatures], [absorption assimilation], [rigorous power], [transcendence] and other skills were activated!"

"I see. [Absorption assimilation] seems to be a skill that takes away the skill. So, what was the condition of skill activation that ate my arm?

Everyone, make sure they can't eat part of their body. ''

"I understand, but yeah, I'll be more careful than usual."

Katya nodded with a delicate face, but it is natural to take care not to cut off a part of the body in a battle without being told by Vandalu.

In that respect, it was fortunate for Vandaloo and others that predation is the way that the Goldi mimicry deprive humans of their skills.

If the skill is deprived only by meeting simple conditions, such as matching eyes, just scratching, answering questions, nodding three times, etc., the difficulty of battle is It would have gone up several steps.

It is the strength of a simulated human to be able to rob a skill simply by eating it alive. However, sudden hits and surprises that take advantage of its strength have failed, and it is difficult to demonstrate in battle after their identity and abilities are revealed.

"Ralmeyer!-You, why do you give information to Dampir ... Well, now it's the first decision to protect your Excellency and get rid of them!

Knights and spies withdraw while guarding His Excellency! Perform evacuation guidance for the people! Sergio! Come out and join the battle! "

And unfortunately for Goldi, Brabatille turned his sword without hesitation towards them, rather than the Vandaloos who were so hostile and mistrustful.

"Bravatil !? What are you talking about ??? Oh, isn't that Goldi ?!"

The Duke is still confused, but Brabattille shook his head flat.

"His Excellency! That's not Goldi!"

"What did you say!?"

"That's a monster who has taken Gordi's appearance, a wicked god or a vampire's minion ... I must be a fake! With the dead! "

"" That's such an idiot !? "

Duke and Goldi's buddies speak out to his guess. Duke is the same, but Gordy's buddy screams, "I'm seriously thinking about such a convenient thing !?"

"But, if you think so, does it make sense ...?"

However, the Duke, who sees the Goldies changing their bodies and imitating them in front of them, and the Duke, who sees behaviors that cannot be thought of by the usual Goldi, feel persuasive to Bravatil's wrong reasoning.

And for the Duke, Brabattille's reasoning is less psychologically resistant than thinking that one of the trusted "Alchemic Five Knights" was a monster that mimicked human form from the beginning.

"That's right! It must be!"

Rather than being confused and trying to protect Gordi, it was more convenient for Vandalou to believe in Bravatil's reasoning.

"Shit, I don't know why!"

Then, from the shadow of the garden tree, the “Knight of the Thunder Thunder” Sergio jumps out and holds a spear against Gordi.

"I don't know why, the Duke! It's clear that the Gordi wasn't a human, but the culprit who did Baldilia!"

"Muh, muh!

"I don't know the exact purpose from the words and actions, but I guess the aim is not that of the Duke, but that dampeel! So it is essential to cooperate with dampeel and minimize the damage to the city while defeating impostors."

To Sergio's complaint and Brabatille's proposal, the Duke briefly said, "Ok, I'll do that."

"Partner!"

Gordy's "Aibo" who was watching it talked to Gordy to ask for instructions with a sense of crisis.

Brabatille and Sergio turn to the enemy. This does not matter. He wasn't an ally from the start, he used it only to take his skills from Vandaloo, and then cut it off. As for his strength, he expected only a flesh wall against Vandaloo.

However, it is poor in the current state. Nothing interferes with the actions of the Vandaloos. It will be surrounded as it is, and will be destroyed shortly after escaping to the "evil god of cannibalism and robbery" Zesoleggin and passing on his skills.

Mimics can transfer their skills to their clan, but they can't do so ignoring distance like telepathy.

Their aim was to take away the desired skills from Vandaloo, the peculiar attribute magic used by Vandaloo, and the skills that made him a demon king.

If they fulfill their purpose, they lose their skills and cannot use the magic they are most good at, flee from mentally upset Vandaloo, and apply their skills to Zezoregin, the creator of their mimicry ... It was a way to deliver skills.

However, despite gaining skills, Vandaloo is trying to kill him without weakening or mental upset than they expected.

This makes it impossible for Goldi to escape to Zesolegin.

"Can't I use the robbed skills?"

"I can't use it. I used to use magic, but what was this [Maou] skill?-What kind of effect ..."

And you can't use the [Dark King Magic] because Goldi doesn't have a death attribute. [Maou] He was a mimetic human and didn't know how to use it.

"What is it? Spatial Attribute Magic doesn't work as expected. What do you do?

"... Did you intend to escape in a surprising way? I thought it was a strategy of repeatedly robbing my skills and finally killing me."

Vandalou said so to "Aibo", who cannot use [Transfer] because of the obstruction of Gufadgarn, the evil god of spatial attributes.

Goldi and "Aibo" are given a number of skills that mimic humans have enhanced or deprived themselves over a hundred thousand years. They were proud that their fighting power was comparable to S-class adventurers.

But I didn't think I could beat Vandaloo. He has already slaughtered the influential people equivalent to S-class adventurers and more evil gods.

"I have to do it as originally planned!"

"Is it up to here?"

Goldi's arms and back shouting like abandonment change to gray mud, changing violently while bubbling. At the same time, Buddy opened a degraded item box.

"[Void bullet] fire"

"I'm going to do something! Attack!"

"The knights are commanded by the five knights! Let's have no extra mouth caught!"

"Would you cooperate with him, etc.? Ladies, this fucking grandfather gives me bang-bang instructions without worrying!"

The Gordy who started to move were shot by the Vandalu's compressed [magic bullets], the [imaginary bullets], continuously, and the Gizanias also followed up, such as [Zanku], [Flying], [Ice Spear], etc. Natanya launches [Rocket Punch], saying that he will not be bitten by martial arts, magic, and so on.

Brabatille and Sergio also fired a long-range attack with their hands firmly moved apart from their mouths.

All of the attacks on the Goldi were long-range attacks, as a result of vigilance that he saw him stealing Vandaloo's skills and that he was going to swallow those approaching with the gray mud. Was.

Sorry, Goldi and his "Buddy" seemed to be a beehive at that moment, a huge figure emerges from the foamy Goldi's arm.

"Gugugigigigigi?"

"Gegaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!"

"Gaha!"

Almost at the same time as she appeared, she was exiled with a [empty bullet]. The figure that appears further continues and falls under the attack of the Gizanians.

"Is that a higher species of auger and goblin?"

"They guard the monsters that live in the magical area around the wilderness sacred ground! He didn't bring the material to the guild, even though he defeated him, because he would use it for himself ... "

Even though it is a mimicry, it seems that it is not only humans that can take shape and skill.

Juliana screams, looking further down at the neck of the mid-back silhouette.

"This face is the missing bounty! I remember it because I was chasing it for a while in my previous life!"

For the imitated human beings who could not realize the identity of the "God of Deities" Arda faction, demons who do not believe in God and outlaws who have extremely low religion would have been good candidates for skill deprivation.

"It looks like they're trying to reinforce their forces by spawning a family of predators."

"It's only a bad footing. It's not just Van's magic, but he's knocked down by the attacks of the knights."

As Pribell says, the new mimics created by Goldi are dead and fall down the next moment they are born.

It will not be possible to completely absorb a child who does not absorb like the old "Buddy" whose backbone was broken by Valdilia.

It would not take long for the attack to reach Gordi.

"Hey! He uses the skill of [Maou]!"

However, at the same time Lalmair shouted, Goldi, who should have been cornered, screamed.

"Hahahahahahaha! Amazing, is this the use of [Maou] skills !? Like the legendary Maou who created many monsters, helping to create new monsters, making them more powerful Will you give me! "

It seems that the skill of the [Maou], who did not know how to use the robbery, interpreted the division of the imitation human Goldi as the creation of a demon, and began to show the effects that Vandaloo unconsciously exerted.

"[Steelization]!"

A man whose face resembles Goldi magically gives the body the hardness of steel, and plays the [Rocket Punch] that Natania has rolled out again.

"[Yanagi sink]!"

This time, a beautiful woman with the same color of hair and eyes as Sergio, sheds Gizania's martial arts with a spear that Aibo removed from the item box.

"That's the predecessor," Knight of Kuzuyama! "

"The woman ... I've seen it in a portrait of a house. She's a spear-user and a woman knight at the time, on my great aunt. Before she was married to Goldi's house and before I was born. I should have died of illness ... "

Brabatille and Sergio each startle at their familiar faces.

"I know Gustina, Sergio's great aunt, because she told me to tell my fourth lady, my father, but she was stupid. She must be human. Did you just imitate the appearance? No, but that spear handling was the same as when I was a child when I saw it in the previous game ... "

To the upsetting Duke, Vandalu quietly spoke.

"Duke, she knows she is human.

"So why is it?"

"After being married, they would have been predated by mimicry humans.

I don't know what kind of ecology the Goldies are and what the environment is like in the wilderness sacred places, but I don't think humans will survive longer among mimic humans. ''

Hearing Vanderlu's speculation, Goldi smiles behind a mimetic human in the form of his father or dystina.

"We don't have to bother with having a proper woman be married, but we've never run out of political marriage.

Thanks to that, every time I get married or groomed, I was sweating cold. Awkward, the aristocracy's pedigree. ''

Because it mimics humans, it must be replaced every few decades. Descendants can be made by mimicry, but since they are knights, it is difficult to keep their spouses close.

For this reason, every time they take a bride or groom from outside, they prey on them and deprive them of their appearance and skills. In turn, exchanges with family members of the parents' home have become less and less deceptive.

"Thank you ...!"

He wants to cling to Bravatil's guess, but no longer, and the Duke distorts his face and glares at Goldi.

Seriously, Bravatiel was forced to face the betrayal of someone he had believed to be his colleague for many years, and Sergio became apparently angry when she knew that her relative had been brutally killed.

Even outspoken Vandaloos would be quite angry because they would feel unpleasant if they thought that the Goldi mimics had been doing this for 100,000 years.

"The question is, Duke of Takkad Al-Krem. I'm going to kill the Goldies. I'm going to the wilderness sanctuary they're protecting and doing my best to eradicate mimics.

Then, do you want to manage the situation together on the same side as us, or fight against us trying to seal your mouth on the other side? "

Therefore, he asked him without asking, but he was angry, humiliated, reliant on fearful words, not even fear, and even Bravaille did not intervene.

[Demon King] skill acquired!

(Might have had to be more gentleman to make a choice)

The resounding brain announcement caused Vandaloo to regret whether it was relevant.

――――――――――――――――――――――

○ Demon explanation: Mimic human

A monster only recorded in a legend that describes the battle between the brave army led by the brave hero and the Demon King army that occurred in the era of the Jindai.

It can imitate human form and voice, and perform almost perfect mimicry. It also states that the monster could get a job that it shouldn't have.

However, it is written that mimicry humans were mainly used for espionage and other assassinations and assassinations, and that they were not strong enemies if they could see through mimicry.

Also, it can actually be transformed into a subhuman monster other than an extremely large race, such as a giant.

Legend has it that mimics who scrutinized the pictures brought by the heroes from different worlds tormented the Zachkats by imitating the family they had left in their hometowns, but Bellwood was not deceived and swept the holy sword It is allegedly exterminated.

Later, Bellwood preached to the other heroes that he was prepared for the battle, and it was noted that Zachart's dissatisfaction with him led to a later break.

The mimicry is said to have been extinct at the same time as the Creator's "Cannibal Evil God" Zezoleggin was sealed.

The truth below.

According to Farmown of the Demon Continent.

"No, not at all. In the first place, no one had brought hometown photos into this world, so there should be no material that can imitate mimics. "

Also, mimics continued to exist in small detail, claiming to be the clan protecting the seal of Zezolegin.

The rank is 1 at most and 2 at the highest, which is unusually low considering its ability and intelligence. This was created as a result of the side effects of mimicking humans being able to get into a job, or as an evil god as a being that abandoned its strength as a monster from the beginning because of the ecology that prioritizes mimicking humans May be the result.

Although it was possible to deprive not only the figure but also the skill at some point in time, the means is to prey on the target alive, so `` Watch out for monsters and be careful '' You have to take the usual remedy. (Skills will not be lost if one finger, a piece of meat or blood is eaten a little)

In addition, only the skill can be deprived, and the ability value will be that of the mimic human.

Predatory to a large man who boasts of great strength, deprives the big man of [muscle strength] skills, even if he mimics the appearance of a big man, the ability value itself is a mimic human, so even if you strengthen it with skills, you can see it Sometimes I say that I can only beat my strength.

It is unknown how to regain skills. …… Everyone deprived of their skills will die as soon as they are preyed, or immediately after that, even if they are alive, one of their limbs or some of their internal organs will be deprived of mimicked humans Because there is no.

Re-acquisition of the stolen skill was also unknown for similar reasons ... but proved to be possible by Vandaloo.
