The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 273: Demon King's Continental Defense Battle
In front of the Quattro in the sea of white clouds, Vandalou glanced at the continent, which was far away.
"You can't see it unless you make it a little bigger."
Boli and the [Evil Demon King's Eyeball] at the tip of [Evil Demon Antenna] become huge.
At last, the continent ... At last, we were able to see in detail the continent that once was the first invasion of the Demon King Gudranis and has become the base of the Demon King's army.
As expected, the overall size and shape are unknown, but the inshore and coastal areas, as well as the interior, can be seen in detail.
"Is this supposed to be ... more evil than the Demon Continent?
"What is it like? Well, can you see the remains of the Demon King's castle? A strong monster or a dungeon is fine. '
`` The legend states that there are temples honoring the evil gods under the Demon King, spawning grounds that blaspheme life to create monsters, and facilities similar to circular arenas for performing fearless rituals. But can you see it?
"Are there more angels of evil gods and gods of the Ardians, Lord?"
"Isn't a map 100,000 years old useful?
Vandalu, who observes the continent, talks about "Sword King" Volks, Michael of "Hikami Spear", and bones and Privel one after another.
Apparently, she is curious about adventurers on unknown continents and fighting against strong enemies.
"I see. It's difficult to explain by mouth, so I'll explain visually."
Saying that, two tentacles grow from the back of Vandalu, and [Evil Demon's Eyeball] appears from the tip and his back of the head. Then, when I thought that the light was shining from my eyes, an unusual image of the earth and the sea emerged there.
"Wow! ? Is this a genjutsu or something?
"I haven't seen Volks, but this is a video using the [Maou's eyeballs] and [luminous organs] that we showed to you last time.
It's like it's a reflection of what Van sees. ''
"But this image is three-dimensional like genjutsu ...?
"It's a 3D image. It takes more magic than a wall, but it's easier to understand the terrain."
The stereoscopic images created by illuminating the images from different directions were less powerful than the images of the incarnation of the evil god Volgadon shown in the Al Krem, because they had less movement.
However, it expressed in detail the strangeness of Demon King Continent.
Oceans near the continent can be described as seawater forests rather than seas that are mixed with liquids of various colors, such as poisonous purple and dirty green, and seas where countless water columns repeatedly appear and disappear. There are sea areas that seem likely, and even the coldest sea where drift ice and icebergs turn into ice golems and swim around.
On the coast, deserts, forests and rocky mountains can be seen from the edges, but sandstorms are raging on the sandy beaches, forest trees drift in black fog, and rocky mountains are magma flowing.
Privel, who saw it, dropped his shoulder unfortunately.
"I came with the idea that it would be useful because it was a voyage, but this seems to be safer on land. It seems better to land directly instead of berthing to the coast."
"That's right. The magma will go wild and wait for the sandstorm to subside, or clear some of the forest and land. '
One of the four Dead Sea Captains, the captain of a former pirate ship, agreed with Privel and immediately sought to issue a command.
"No, it seems that the land is also dangerous. I will enlarge the image now."
However, Vandaloo stopped it and expanded the footage further. The diameter of the eyeball at the tip of the antennae has reached another meter.
The footage was displayed in the order of desert, forest, and rocky mountain.
Behind the sandstorm in the desert, you can see giant monsters dancing that Volks and Michael have never seen.
"It's big. It's ten times bigger than me, it's a big guy. '
"wait. Apparently, this monster is already dead. '
The large monster, about 30 meters long, shown in the stereoscopic video was not dancing. You are being tossed by a sandstorm. While shaving the whole body, scattering pieces of meat.
"Wow ... I see. The desert sand is like a little knife. It will fly at high speed, so even huge monsters can be worn down alive. '
Regardless of the scale, a boner who can do similar attacks with bones also explains so.
"That huge monster would be at least seven ranks. The fact that it was slashed without any means of doing it would mean that a normal adventurer or knight would get a red mist in less than a minute, even with armor. Zyuoo ... "
"Well, it seems better to stop landing in the desert. The Quattro will be turned into sawdust
The Quattro makes a squealing voice, agreeing with the words of a former pirate ship captain.
"Let's go to the forest. Poisons and diseases are powerless to us undead. ''
"No, that black fog looks like a curse."
"Hah! ? Curse! ?
While silently observing the forest, Zandia noticed that the black fog emitted by the forest trees was not a material gas, and speculated that it might be a curse.
"Because you are moving against the flow of the wind. I don't know if the trees in the forest are cursing with monsters or if the resentment of the Demon Army more than 100,000 years ago still remains. But curses work for us as well, so I think it's better to stop approaching violently. ''
Often misunderstood, curses and curses are good for the undead. This is because curses work for both living and non-living objects, unlike poisons and diseases that do not work because they are "dead."
However, harm depends on the type of curse and curse. For example, a zombie that has been cursed by “the body rots” can quickly rot and even shatter bones, turning it into just dust. But it doesn't make sense to be cursed to get "sick".
Therefore, depending on the type of curse that the forest emits, the undead, including the Quattro, are not affected at all, but they are not willing to charge because they believe in the possibility.
And Iwayama is not spouting magma from the top ... it is sucking it in reverse. For some reason, it seems that magma flows from the magma swamps scattered around the mountain toward the summit and is being sucked.
Apparently, the law of gravity seems to be out of order around the rocky mountain, and a monster resembling a giant snail rolled down from the bottom toward the summit and was swallowed along with the magma.
…… Weirdly crazy Marie. Indeed, it's more mysterious than the Devil's continent. ''
"Wow. The Demon Continent had turned into a magical boundary throughout the continent, its near seas, and even the sky ... but most of the individual magical boundaries themselves were found in other normal magical boundaries. "
The boner nodded at the impression of the captain of the former pirate ship.
Makai is an area of soil contaminated by so-called magic. There are many monsters and dungeons can occur there. However, many of its environments are often the same as nature, such as forests and valleys, mountains and deserts.
However, when the elemental pollution is heavy from the outset, an ice-covered frigid makai emerges in the desert, and as the pollution progresses over time, ordinary grassland and forest makai are constantly exposed to the threat of lightning strikes. It transforms into a magical place of grasslands and forests surrounded by deep fog.
The Demon Continent's Makai was more like a dungeon hierarchy, but the Demon King's Continental Makai is even more dangerous and bizarre.
It is still convinced that the whole continent has been turned into a dungeon.
"Did you look like this since the Demon King was alive?"
"No, not at that time."
When Vandalu asked no one, the space was torn, and from inside, the evil god behind him, the "Evil God in the Labyrinth", Gufadogan, replied.
"When the Demon King's army, including me, invaded that continent under the command of the Demon King Gudulanis, it was dyed with the magical powers that humans call the magical material, and changed to a comfortable environment for us. We needed to create and increase a demon, so we kept it down to some extent. ''
Unlike a world where the environment is similar to some extent, such as “Lambda” and “Earth,” the different worlds are comfortable environments for Gudranis who emerged from a completely different environment, “The World of Demon Kings.” The creatures of the world that were collected to make them into materials were harsh and inviable.
"The real changes in the physical laws of the world were distorted by the space used for living. It was described as the legendary Demon Castle, the Demon Army's citadel, and the evil temples. Facility
"So that's it. According to legends, evil and fearsome, and the adjectives were used in a terrible way, but in fact, it was a place that I could not imagine in this world "
Michael, who was a hero of the Milg Shield Country before his birth, said so, and the Captains of the Dead Sea and the undead sailors nodded.
"Is it so terrible? I feel like I was pretty simple
Meanwhile, those from within the border mountains, such as Gina, the Healing Saint, blinked mysteriously at Michael's words.
`` Gina, because you have learned a legend from the Vidas, and it may be different from the legend I know. ''
"ah I see. Vida left Arda after the Demon King was defeated. '
Those living within the Border Mountains and on the Demon Continent are the members of Vida who were taken away by Vida from Arda, and the descendants of a new Vida tribe spawned later by the goddess.
Because some races have evil or evil gods as one parent, it is natural that the legends described and expressed differ from those of human society.
"Then, what is the current situation of the Demon King's continent because Gudranis was defeated and left for more than 100,000 years, and internal pollution spread from the Demon Castle and other places?
"No, Zandia. After Gudranis was defeated, there was no elaborate destruction of Bellwood, Farmaun, Nine Road, and all of our facilities such as the Demon Castle, so no trace remains."
"I do quite radical things so that no traces remain."
"This is to prevent the survival of powerful monsters, which may be hiding behind them, and to prevent them from being used later by remnants such as the escaping Hichryshkaka or Lavovifard.
There were no non-combatants in the Demon Army, and there is no need to withhold, as the continent was not contaminated with many gods and human blood in previous battles, and it was not a place where desolate and ordinary creatures could live was"
Apart from Gufadogan's explanation to Privel, most of the Demon King's army had no stock of human-accessible supplies at their bases, and there would be no useful material, so they did not have to hesitate to destroy them. there were.
To put it bluntly, the stones used in the building and the meat of the edible demon would hit the supplies ... but the stones and the demon meat were not worth the effort to move between continents It is.
… Because only about 3,000 humans survived, the stockpile could be used up enough to get enough, and stone and monster meat could be obtained nearby.
"So why is this messy situation?"
"Unfortunately, I don't know, presumably because there was no entity to reduce monsters and reduce pollution, unlike the continent where there were the Zantak deities, the Demon Dragons, the Demon Dragons, and the new tribe of Vida. I can do it. "
"... I know how important it is to hunt monsters."
Nodding at the end, Vandalu looks at the Demon King's continent again. However, all we see is a bizarre and harsh environment, and we can't find any artifacts at all, including settlements of subhuman demons.
"But it's the worst thing you can't do to land or land. If you look over the continent for a place where the goddess is sealed on the Quattro, you'll end up fighting the demons endlessly. ...... It will stand out. "
"I have to go around the continent and look for a safe place?
"When it's time, why don't you just get down with your Majesty and a few escorts and create a dungeon for your base?
Vandalu nodded, "Let's do it," after thinking a little about the proposals of Zandia and Gina.
"Even if you couldn't find a place to berth, knowing the shape of the continent would give you a clue as to where to go.
After that, if you make the base a dungeon, it will be hard to find. ''
The Quattro can also be sailed at any time by moving in and out of the Vandaloo's Shadow of the Demon King or by transferring it with Gufadogan's magic.
"Let's go now! By the way, which one do you want, North or South?
"... Let's go north."
In the south, I feel somehow bad luck. Remembering the reincarnated Asagi Minami, Vandalu decided to travel from the north on the coast of the Demon King's continent.
Whether it couldn't be done, or was actually noticed since arriving on the continental coast, a vortex occurred on the sea surface, which had not yet been turned into a magical area, far below the Quattro traveling through the sea of clouds.
If that was the case, neither the Quattro nor Vandaloo would have noticed. A swirl on the surface of the sea thousands of meters below will not hinder navigation.
"Rapid turn"
"Ky, rapid turn! Face rudder !
Following the words of Vandaluo who noticed the reaction of [Danger Sensing: Death], the "Captains of the Dead Sea" began to move as if they had been flipped, and the Quattro screamed like a squeal.
Then, just before the quatro was present, a large water column ... a tornado and a rolled-up seawater penetrated from below.
"Che! I should have hit the blind spot, but I noticed why! ?
And a dragon larger than the Quattro appeared from the tornado. It is a type of "Earth" in Asia with a slender body that resembles a snake overall.
The power is far superior to the five evil dragons Fidirug and the violent dragons Revezfor.
"But don't miss it!
The giant caught on the dragon's leg soars into the air.
"Get it, the lightning of judgment!
Then, a fist is shot from the fist of the giant.
"Suddenly! Your ancestors!
At the same time, Volks wields a giant sword made of [Shards of the Demon King] and shoots slashes. However, the lightning and slashing crossed without collision, rushing to their targets.
"Nuu! ?
"Ore! The end of the birth of an abominable child is a pant!
The slash was prevented by the giant and the dragon twisting, but this interrupted the lightning strike from the giant.
"If it's blitz, it's my turn!
Kimberly, an Ibirshwald Blitz ghost, who has the [wind attribute disabled] skill that appears, becomes a shield against lightning. Lightning was part of the wind attribute, so even a lightning strike from a true giant would not work for him.
"It works at all! ?
However, Kimberly's voice struck by a lightning strike from a giant turned into a scream.
"Kimberly! ? Why are you screaming? ?
"Bababa! ? Paka wa! I don't know what it is, but I'm sorry. What is it! ?
Kimberly was quickly released from the lightning strike after Volks' attack cut off the giant's lightning, and the next moment he was able to return near his ghost companion Olbia.
But he was supposed to be able to neutralize the blitz, but he was obviously damaged.
"Perhaps we've decided to combine that lightning with magic other than wind. It's just a simple mix, or a special version of light that's good for me and vampires, sacred and magical. I don't know if we've made any advanced improvements like
"I can do that! ?
"I can do it. That is a dragon and a true giant ... because it is the same god as Tiamat and Talos."
To the surprising Zandia, Vandalou explains: Because the true giant is a member of the new giant race of Vida's new race, he is better at exerting physical power than skillful magic or special powers.
However, it was reported that only the magic of attributes that he was good at could be applied considerably.
"I remember, Vandalu. That was-"
So Gufadogan tries to tell the true identity of the dragon and the true giant, but Vandaloo rejects her saying, "It's a bit later."
Looking at it, the dragon and the true giant are rebuilding their position and trying to attack again. Although Volks and Michael are attacking by slashing with martial arts, they are of little use because they are too far apart and too large.
The Quattro, on the other hand, turned its side to the dragon and the true giant, neither assault nor escape.
"Port cannon deployment! It's time for cannons !
In response to the command of "Four Dead Sea Captains", the cannons installed on the side of the Quattro ...... the artillery-type artillery kings appear.
"" "" "
"Fayer II!
The cannon-type commander, aiming with the voices in line, fired each bullet with a roar upon the command of the captain.
"Huh! When a toy made by Zaccato works for us-- ''
The true giant, on the other hand, apparently knew about artillery, but decided that it was a weapon of the size of a normal gun created by Zachart and tried to continue attacking.
"Bad, idiot! Avoid!
The dragon shouted, but a shell hit before the true giant responded.
"What? Eggs! ?
The bullet was a shell-sized egg. But there is no yolk or white inside.
At the moment when the shell breaks, the inside of the inside [the Demon King's fat] explodes, scatters the horns and crystals that have been charged, and swallows the true giant with a blast flame.
However, it is truly a giant. She survived the explosion of shell eggs produced from the [Demon King's Fallopian Tube] and emerged from the smoke.
"Ore! Make a playful ――
"Fayer II!
However, successive shots of shells were fired from the artillery, and the true giant was swallowed up again by the flames and smoke.
"Radatel! ? So I told you not to be careless!
The dragon inadvertently poisons when he sees Radatelle, a true black giant who is scorched in the smoke, falling toward the surface of the sea.
"You won't be able to tell others."
The dragon emitted a pale two-beam of light through the smoke. He immediately twisted his long body to avoid direct hits, but the dragon fell toward the sea as if chasing after Radatelle, screaming at the end of the tail with the sides burned and shouting the atmosphere went.
Vandalu, who fired a mysterious ray from the giant [Evil Demon's Eyeball] attached to the tip of the antenna, paused and talked to Gufadogan.
"So, can you please continue on?"
"Yes. Right now, a giant water column was created and fell into the sea, the Thunder Giant, Radatelle, the grandson of the Giant God, Zeno, and one of the sons of the Thundering Giant, Bratheo.
The dragon is Zvord, the Great Dragon. He is one of the sons of Maduroza, the grandson of the Dragon Emperor Marduk, and the Dragon of the Sea Dragon.
Gufadogan describes the names and features of the two pillared gods Radatelle and Zvold, which have become huge water columns.
"In the battle between Vida and Arda 100,000 years ago, they both came to Arda and fought with us.
Assuming that the gods of God are the upper gods, such as Arda and Vida, and the lower gods, which are also called Talos and the quasi-gods of Tiamat, are from the middle to the bottom.
However, because they are sub-gods with their bodies, they can exert their original power unlike the "Thundercloud God" Fitun who dwelled in the stakes, so when judging comprehensively, compared to the previous Fitun, Should we judge it as a threat? "
"I see. Arda sensed our movement and seemed to be arranging it as a lookout. Unlike Fitton, there was no nearby village, so we were saved."
The sailors undead were angry at Vandalu's words. They also knew that they were heading to the legendary continent of the Demon King, and that they might fight powerful monsters comparable to God.
However, it is a continent where the gods are placed on the coast of the continent as guards. It is unlikely that the attacks of the gods of Arda will be inevitable.
"Hey, let's do it. The one who calls us giants an ancestor is not his ancestor!
"Is it a battle with the gods ... has the opportunity of the Atonement finally arrived?"
"Zoo, the opportunity to give a treat to the Lord! It's also a great opportunity to test if the gods work!
However, Volks, Michael, and the Boneman are upset and their eyes open.
"Well, as I saw it now, the dragon and the true giant both avoided and played Volks and Michael's martial arts, so I don't think we can't do it."
"If it didn't work, it would have been attacked without ignoring it. After all, is it still a distance? Isn't it better to have a flight master now?
And Gina and Zandia had analyzed the battle before and speculated that they would be able to reach God with their own power.
"But do you look for the sealed goddess while fighting with the giants and dragons as it is? I think it's better to stop it. The dragons and giants that just fell aren't dead yet, right?"
"What! ? Are you still alive! ? Let's stab you soon!
Volks responded in the second half of Privel's words, claiming to chase Radatelle, but Vandaloo shook his head.
"I thought about pursuing, but because I was reacting to [danger detection: death]. It seems that moving from here in a hurry is not good."
"Hmm? What does that mean?
When Volks tilts his head in response to Vandalu's answer, giants, dragons, giant and divine beasts and fish, different from Radatelle and Zvord, roughly surround the Quattro from the sky and the sea, at the appropriate timing. Appeared.
The number is more than ten. Two of the biggest giants seem to be in command.
"Radatel and Zvold ... Immature kid are ahead!
"You may be running ahead, Brateo. I guess it was a way to start a surprise attack after all of them were together. We don't have a third yet!
"Shut up! Complains to Sirius that he misunderstood that he was still on Baan Gaia! If you're not going to fight, go back and keep the seal! The sky doesn't suit you, Gone!
However, he is rubbing in a brutal manner. Apparently, this situation was unexpected for them.
"I don't know how many gods come out at once ... ?
"If their words aren't bluff, the enemies seem to have more than three times this number ... let's get out of the gap. The problem is where to escape ..."
Vandaloo looked around.
Returning to Bang Gaia or Demon Continent with Gufadgan's [Transfer] would not be worth the voyage to the Demon King's continent. As I looked around to see where it was, I saw one of the evil seas on the coast of the Demon King's continent, a sea of poisonous purple and dirty green liquid.
"Over there. There is a person who is calling me ... to be precise."
