The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 278: Rematch …… not Observation

After the job change, Vandaloo and his group received a welcome from the mayor of Yurak.

The feast was held, and dishes using rare monsters such as mushrooms and marine products, furry elephants and giant sloths, which are specialties of Garutland, were served.

"This dolphin has scales."

"Privelle, it's like an aquatic dinosaur called a fish dragon."

"Is that so!?"

Surprisingly, Privelle did not know Vandalu, but fish dragons are aquatic reptiles, not dinosaurs. At least in the Earth. The classification in this Lambda is unknown.

"A giant sloth tongue is a must-try for a fried omelet."

Vandaloos beat the fish dragons and various meat barbecues.

And not only were the Vandaloos behaved, but also generously behaved the ingredients they had obtained.

"This is the first taste to eat"

"It's a starfish. I cooked it for the first time, but I think it was a success thanks to the mushroom sauce here."

"Starfish !? Did you cook the starfish !? And so much ... it was hard to collect?"

He knew that the food that Mayor Yuraku had eaten was a starfish, and his eyes widened. And the feast is still full of starfish dishes that he ate.

Imagine how many thousands or tens of thousands of starfish were used for this dish, and Yuraku was daunted by the effort involved, but I was convinced by Vandaloo's words:

"No, it wasn't particularly difficult, as Gufadogan gathered the Starfish Beast before it fell apart."

The starfish was the "starfish beast king" Repobilis. Even a starfish with few edible parts, if it is a giant with a length of more than 100 meters, will be a considerable amount.

The taste is much lower than a monster of similar strength, but still tastes better than average ingredients.

"The verse was taken care of."

"No, it was a great fight"

The boner who defeated Repobilis and the Gufadogans who have collected work together. Beyond that, the Volks and the ice and snow giants were having a cup.

Originally, the same races would fit together.

"This meat is hard, but the more you chew it, the more the rich taste begins to seep."

"What kind of meat is it?"

"Oh, Radotel is a giant's meat."

"Gobu!"

But the ice and snow giants still seemed to resist eating the true giants. She blows involuntarily and almost spits out meat.

"The meat of the corner is wasteful. It will be wasted if you leave it alone, and you will have to gratefully eat it like any other prey. '

However, Gina says that the ice-and-snow giants rethinked "what do they mean?"

"... Yeah, just like hunting prey, you have to eat it if you can."

"Eat and thank them for their lives. Whether it's a true giant or a beast, it's no different. As expected, the priest of Vida on earth is different."

In Garutland, Vida is believed to be the principal god of Povaz and Zosa Ceiba. For this reason, Gina, who could drop the angel of Vida, was considered special.

"Yes, because if you don't eat it, it's wasted."

Therefore, it is respected enough to suppress the evasion of food.

By the way, Zvold's meat was not served at the feast, mainly because Pete ate it.

The next day after the feast, Vandaloo and his group, who had developed sufficient courage, talked with Dolaneza, Dedilia, and friends including Mayor Yurak.

Members of the Vidal Demon Empire, which is far from Garutland, and members of the Al Khrem are also gathered by Gufadogan's [Transition].

"Even if I say a policy, isn't it just enough to just hit me again? Did you hear the number and composition of the enemies from that dragon or starfish spirit?

The strength of the rock giants Ghosn gathering on the ground comes from the spirits of Zvord and the Starfish Beast Repobilis, both in number and character.

The number of enemies is also about thirty pillars centered on the sub-gods, and the field commander is Gone of the Rock. The "Thundering Giant" Brateo and the Vandaloos have not yet fought directly, but "Okai Ryujin" Madrosa and others are adjutant. ...... Blateo wasn't a deputy secretary.

It is not really a bad idea to use that information to launch another strike on the ground. Rather, it is a usual way.

"Wow. The enemy has decreased in the previous battle. On the other hand, Dalcia, Godwin, Legion, and Luciliano have joined, and the strength has increased dramatically.

Lord, should the enemy set up before renewing his strength? '

"I guess I'm in the field too?-I'd like to concentrate on studying Homunculus and the newly discovered new Vida tribe for a while, if possible."

Luciliano knows he's part of the fight and screams. It is presumed that veteran avant-garde jobs are available, but he also has the ability to participate in the A-class dungeon capture ... but his personality does not seem to be affected by his ability.

"Well, Luciliano came for that, so focus on research and technical exchange with the Gartland sorcerers."

As soon as he said, Luciliano is doing banzai with both hands. Vandalou looked away from the delighted disciple and turned to the Volks.

"Certainly, it's possible to get ready and ready to pierce under the sealed Bottine. Now we know the location thanks to the Povas."

Except for Maris Jaffer, the Gartland gods knew where Botin was a member of the former Demon King's Army and was sealed by Demon King Gudranis. Moreover, unlike the Gufadogans who left the continent after the Demon King was defeated, they had been hiding under the continent for 100,000 years.

The continent's shape has been altered by the severe pollution of the arsenal, and the space and gravity have been distorted.

"Because the Ardas who abandoned this continent continued to pay attention only to the seal. I was always careful as I might notice Gartland with us when approaching openly. There may be some errors, but it will not be a problem if you are a man with a flying ship. '

On behalf of the gods of Gartland, the subgod Zosa Ceiba explained.

And Vandaloo opened his mouth again.

"If we challenge, we will beat the Gone and reach the sealed Botyne.

But this time, the Gone will be ready, and they will meet us without the same sneak as before, so it will be a tough fight. It may cost you, and even if you get to where the botine is sealed, you don't know how long it will take to break it. ''

Ghosn's ambush received when he has just reached Demon King's continent. At that time, it was imperfect due to the first run of the Thunder Giant Radatelle and the Great Eddy Dragon Zvold. Therefore, they could withdraw before the siege net was completed.

However, the war will intensify in the all-out war, and the inferior quartet of the Quattro, the Four Dead Sea Captains, and undead sailors may suffer casualties.

And even if you beat the Gone, you won't always be able to break the seal on the botine.

Until now, Vandaloo has broken a number of curses and seals other than the curse on his soul. Some of them are given by gods and heroes.

However, it is the first time that the demon king Gudulanis has touched the seal himself. It cannot be solved in just a few seconds. It can take an hour, two hours, or maybe more than half a day.

…… This might seem like a short time, but it's too long to do during a battle.

Of course it can be solved quickly, but relying on it is too dangerous.

"Then, you just need to annihilate the horns and open the seal. It's still the same at the cost of sacrifice.

Even if they gather their strength and are ready, they will kill each other. Whether it's a hunt at the Makai or a dungeon capture, there is a possibility of death. There is, but I'm afraid of it and I can't get the seeds. "

"I want to say that Volks doesn't need to be as afraid as ever. Well, I agree with that ... I'm ready to put in not only the Quattro but also the swift Sam, and I guess there will be no sacrifice if you gather the abyss vampires!

"I'm sorry that we have to return to the border mountains immediately after the game. Other sub-gods may invade the border mountains. "

Gina and Zandia nod at Volks's opinion and take steps to eliminate any potential sacrifice. The enemy, the thirty subgods, is a threat, but there are also more than twenty vampires in Vandalus.

If you aren't afraid of the defenses inside the Border Mountains becoming too thin, you may be able to overpower the Demon King's continent's sub-gods.

"The Volks say that, and if you defeat the Gone and open the seal, isn't that okay?"

Privel asks, but Vandaloo shook his head.

"No, even if we annihilate the Ghosn, new gods and spirits may appear. There are some pseudo sanctuaries on the Demon King's continent. I could see the god I had. ''

The subgods have a physical body. Therefore, unless you move instantaneously with [Transfer], you can only swim in the sea or fly in the sky to get to the Demon King's continent from other places.

But God moves in a matter of minutes because he has no body. If the ground is a pseudo-shrine, it is possible to descend.

And on the ground, a number of pseudo-shrines are created by the Ghosns. Radatell and others knew that a pseudo sanctuary was being created, but did not know its number or exact location.

I don't know if he wasn't informed that he wouldn't pass the information to Vandalu when he was killed, or he didn't want to know it because it wasn't necessary for Radatelle and others.

All I know is that there will always be a pseudo-shrine near where Botyn is sealed.

"Rudely, they seem to think that I came to eat Botyn's soul. To prevent that, I'll send in extra strength."

The pseudo sanctuary remains even if you defeat the Ghosn and Sirius. If God or the hero descends one after another, there is no drill.

"So, why don't you rush through the enemy's strength and retreat rather than rush through?"

Eleonora suggested that the enemy might have reinforcements.

"Speaking of God ... No, it's because God's damage shouldn't heal right away, and it will take some time to gather new ready-to-go on the Demon King's continent, while we're vans You can recover as much as you like. ''

The magical power consumed in the battle can be supplemented if Vandaloo performs [Magic Transfer]. Vandaloo's own magical power is constantly recovering thanks to the [Magic Power Recovery] skill and [Magic Recovery Speed] skill. If you drink the blood of a defeated god or Belmond, the healing skill will help you recover more quickly.

Even if you're injured, Blood Potion has magic, such as Darussia, Gina, and Zandia.

If you do, you could attack the Ghosns more than once a day.

"So hit and away at short intervals, and when the opponents reduce the number, rush and annihilate, and while Van opens the seal, we can protect him."

"So that's it. And if you don't have enough strength to protect Van, and if it's going to take a long time to break the seal on the botine, you can ask Vandalu to create a replenisher of the Demon King. ''

Ira supplements and affirms the strategy proposed by Eleonora, although he feels bitter. I don't like the rivals planning a good strategy, but I don't want to show Vandaloo that she's trying to pull Eleonora's legs with her personal feelings alone.

In fact, Eleonora's proposed operation is the one Ghosn is most afraid of, and will certainly do more than a certain amount if implemented.

However, if it is not possible to pass Eleonora's proposal as it is, he makes a rough decision.

"But you're hit-and-away, but are you thinking of ways to attack and withdraw? It is not always possible to escape to Garutland from the next time, and if you escape using [Transfer], the enemy will also try to stop it in some way. "

"Yes. Especially the [transfer] countermeasure will be over. If you think so, you may have been fortunate to escape to Garutland instead of [Transfer] yesterday. "

"I was advised by Dalton."

Eleonora is frowned by Islay's pain, and the Legions mention the possibility that the Ghosns were taking countermeasures.

"Gufadogan! I ask in anticipation of the evil god of the spatial attribute. ?

"Yes, Walkure. According to the great Vandalu from the spirits of Lepovilis, there were some gods of spatial attributes lurking on that battlefield. They would obstruct my [transposition] I can delay its activation. ''

"I can do it ... I'm glad I was more and more invited by Dora-chan. If I was disturbed as I escaped with [Transfer], I might have been pierced."

"Certainly. If the planned escape was stopped, we would have been upset. ''

Privel and Michael nodded.

However, they do not know, but they are all subordinates of the great god Zuluwan, who controls the spatial attributes. The only gods who were said to have joined the Arda faction were the gods whose angels, sublimated by magic that had no ego, sublimated. That's the only god who has been instructed by Zuluwan to maintain the world no matter what happens.

So, in fact, there is no Zurwan subordinate to the Ardas.

There are only Ardians near Zuluwan's subordinate god, who maintains the world.

However, more than 100,000 years have passed since the battle between Vida and Arda, and some of the Arda followers who have the right spatial attributes have made significant achievements. Originally, they were supposed to be "the Homei God, a subordinate god of Arda who can also use spatial attribute magic."

But Arda took them to Zuluwan's subordinate god, who believed that he was a member of his power, and requested that he be recognized as a god of spatial attributes. Worried about the number of gods who maintain the world, to increase the number of subordinate gods of Zuluwan.

And Zuluwan's subordinate god, who has no ego, obeyed the request on behalf of Zuluwan for "for the maintenance of the world."

In this way, "the god of the spatial attributes of the former Aldaists" was born. Although not intended by Arda, having become a god of spatial attributes has given their spatial attribute magic a powerful addition to the skills of a human being with the power of god.

Specializing in spatial attributes, to the extent that it can compete with Gufadogan, the Labyrinth's Evil God.

In an unexpected situation, Zuluwan described Arda as "afraid of nature."

However, the discussion goes on without anyone visiting the temple and asking Zuluwan for an explanation. ...... In a sense, the god may be trusted.

"In that case, you have to flee normally or relocate from a place far from the Demon King's continent to withdraw."

"In addition, I think it's better to avoid going to Garutland directly. A legendary spatial attribute magician told me that you can follow the traces of someone else's going and identify the destination. I've been there. ''

"So hit and away isn't even better."

In response to Darussia's proposal, Eleonora laughed and tried to lower her plan. But Vandaloo put a wait on it.

"No, I think Eleonora's idea is a good idea. So it's my idea, but I misunderstood the Ghoans to repeat our strategy, hit and away, and to cut down on our strength, and in the meantime-"

Two days after Vandaloo appeared on the Demon Lord's continent ... the day after they had a strategy meeting in Garutland ... again they appeared near the Demon Lord's continent.

There was a figure of Vandalu in the Duke of Al Krem on the continent of Bang Gaia, but this time Sirius, the god of horns, was also suspected of fake from the beginning and was waiting at any time to descend into the pseudo sanctuary of the demon continent.

Gone, who have not recovered their injuries and their strength has not yet recovered, are now able to smoothly siege the Quattro because of the disappearance of the leading Radatelle and Zvord.

"Defeat this time! But just avoid his "Kill of the World"! If you hit it directly, you will not only die but your soul will disappear!

"It's messed up with the obvious things!

Despite Ghosn's command, Thundering Giant Bratheo and Okai Ryujin Madrosa approach the Quattro to revenge their sons.

When trying to strike a fist or dragon's breath wearing a thunderbolt against a vandalous that shoots an egg bullet fired by a cannon-type witch and a [screaming] attack of a sonic attack type witch and emits a mysterious ray from the deck ,noticed.

"This is a fake! ?

The Volks, Privels, and Undead sailors on the quattro deck are stone golems that are shaped and painted exactly like the ones they look at. And it was a phantom that thought that it was Vandalu, a messenger king specializing in emitting mysterious rays, where countless [Maou's eyes] as many as the adult's head were connected to [Maou's jewel] Was.

"Oh, this is a trap!

"Everyone, protect yourself!

Bratheo and Madrosa immediately shouted and shook themselves, but the empty eyes of the Demon King staring at it seemed to be sneering at "It was too late."

The next moment, the Quattro exploded as it glowed like the sun.

"Gia ah ah ah ah!

"Father! ? Pug! ?

"Guh ah! Something will come through the magic shield! ?

The dragons and giants that were struck by the fire and burned in flames crashed into the sea. Some instantly created barriers with magic to prevent flames and blasts, but countless [Maou's horns], [crystals], and [bones], which flew along with the blast, pierced the barriers, I pierced the gods.

"This is a suicide bomb ... No, it's a trap to kill us gathered as a decoy from the beginning!

Ghosn is away from the fake Quattro, and luckily he created not the magic, but the magical rock wall, thus protecting himself and his allies from the debris of the Demon King's Fragment. Things were done.

But I can't help but mourn.

Like the day before yesterday, the sword king Volks and the healing saints Gina did not doubt that they did not jump out of the boat, and they were too desperate to defeat or chase down the Vandalus, I was trapped.

He was too impatient because he had not recovered from the damage he had suffered in the previous battle and his reduced strength.

...... It is a misfortune that we did not bring those who were deeply wounded in the previous battle.

"Go, half of those who can move go to help those who have fallen to the sea! Watch out for the rest! The real thing may be lurking nearby!

While giving instructions, check the status of your friends. Those who fall into the sea are seriously injured, but not dead. The damage from the shards was not too heavy for those who were away from the fake Quattro. …… The rubble was poisoned, but it didn't seem to be poisoning enough to directly threaten the life of the mighty subgod.

The iron giant, Nabanger, who was able to prevent shattering thanks to his proud armor, moaned at the area where the fake Quatro was floating.

"Blateo and Madrosa ... did you help?"

The two pillars received the impact of the explosion and countless shards in a short distance. It's no wonder if you lose your life.

Although many selfish actions were not uncommon, and the failure to follow the instructions was not uncommon, the loss of the two pillars, which was a great force for the defense team, was great.

"Guu, it was dangerous ..."

However, from the thinning smoke, a brateo carrying Madrosa appeared. Ghosn runs up with a surprise voice.

"Brateo! Is it safe? ?

"Hun, does this look safe? Although I and Madrosa were also strengthening their bodies, they had a defensive magic that activated them quickly, and they were alive, but thanks to the spatial attributes of the gods that you were hiding, they lived. "

Ghosn looks surprised and finds Lapin, the god of mirror imagery, a god of spatial attributes he had lurked to hinder Gufadogan's Metastasis.

"I'm sorry to move without instructions. But in this situation it's better to move. '

Lapin immediately bent the space and protected the Bratheos. It was his credit, though not completely, that the two pillars were seriously injured rather than fatal.

"I see ... no, thanks for your decision. He did it well. Since the ship was fake, there was no escape, so we were saved. '

Inside the fake Quattro's ship, there is a spellmaster for flying for a short time to attract the ghosts, and a cannon-type and sonic attack-type spellmaster previously shown. Other than that, it was filled with [Devil King's Fat], which plays the role of gunpowder, and [Devil King's Horn] instead of metal pieces to increase the killing power.

Vandalus sent anti-sub-god bombs, not human bombs. ...... Considering that the Demon King is the alter ego of Vandalu, in a sense it is a suicide bomb.

"Maybe the real thing is coming! ?

"No, it's so powerful. It shouldn't be easy for him to make. Isn't it?

"Either way, I will retreat once!" Brateo and Madrosa and our wounds must be treated. '

The Ghosns withdrew quickly, but carefully to avoid encountering the demon monsters, into a safe zone on the Demon King's continent.

…… Vandaloo thought it was looking through the compound eye of a scout-type demon king with a small torso and insect wings.

(Are there any gods with spatial attributes? You have to be careful when you retreat with [Transfer].)

○ Demon explanation: Homunculus

An artificial life created by [alchemy]. Strictly speaking, this is the case with golems and life dead, but in the case of homunculus, instead of injecting life into materials such as minerals and dead bodies, they are called artificial life forms because they create life artificially.

When you get out of the culture device, you can't sustain life, and the one that looks like a fetus is homunculus. On the other hand, homunculus that looks exactly like a human adult (from mid-teens to girls and old people) who can go out of the incubator is called humanoid homunculus.

However, an ordinary alchemist cannot create a humanoid homunculus that looks just like a human. This requires expensive materials, outstanding technical skills, contracts with evil gods who are said to have created homunculus in the world, and blessing.

It is said that the funding required for the preparation is more than one million baum just for the procurement of materials in the case of Orbaum.

However, the temple of Arda and some temples of Vida have vigorously condemned the creation of Homunculus, and have been banned by law in many countries, as it is an act of life because it creates artificial human beings.

They are also classified as demons, but they are for convenience only and do not occur naturally in demons or dungeons. Therefore, the adventurer's guild will not be asked to defeat Homunculus or to collect materials.

…… Although you may be asked to defeat or arrest alchemists who violated the law.

Homunculus has a low rank and rarely has special abilities. Homunculus is an artificial person, so it is made to look like a human. However, it is stated in the literature that some experienced humanoid homunculus can perform advanced magic.

○ Below, by Luciliano

The homunculus of Gartland is infinitely close to a real human being only as God has completed his trial and error. Appearance is divided into three types: race, dwarf, and elf. Not only appearance but also stats are different. The exception is magic aptitude, where any type of homunculus can have all the attributes aptitude, just like race.

In the case of the humanoid homunculus, the rank is 2, and thereafter, the rank is increased to the high humanoid homunculus and the elder humanoid homunculus. However, it doesn't seem to change even if it ranks up.

Also, the ranks of Elder Humanoid Homunculus do not appear to rise. From then on, it will grow through repeated job changes.

The homunculus of Gartland is generous, intelligent and knowledgeable. Although living in the underground world, they are less aware of the outside world, but they are living in closed places and their abilities are not inferior to humans.

When you look at them, and look at thugs, gorotsuki, and bandits on the ground, you are likely to lose track of who is the real person.
