The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 298: Rice Time
After a fierce defense battle the day before, the Rock Giants were relieved.
Everyone in the defense squad thought that there should be time before the next vandaloo attacked, as they had driven the vandaloos who had attacked with such strength.
In the meantime, he has to prepare his strength to heal his wounds. You have to improve or use a new strategy that uses the sound to spread command over the whole.
Madrosa survived the life of the vivid dragon and fellow healing magic.
The demon has lost 90% of the individuals capable of flying, but can be collected again.
The holes in Sirius, the extinct God of Horns and the defeated Bronze Giant, Le Bougue, are not easily closed. "Homei God" Arda asked for reinforcements. However, Arda cannot persuade the gods and sub-gods who are concentrating on maintaining the world and thinning out demons and requesting them to join the defense squad, and cannot send the combined strength as reinforcements. A reply has come.
Nevertheless, he managed to send him a hundred thousand years ago, Botin and his subordinate god, the Orichalcum Golem, which was destroyed by the Demon King's army, and the next generation, Starfish Beast, who decided to take part in revenge for their parents and brothers. The King, the King of Shellfish, the children of Harinshev, and the brothers of Seabird Beast, Walfaz.
However, it is hard to say that his strength has recovered.
The Orichalcum Golem, made by the Mother God of Earth and Takumi and its subordinate God, was once destroyed and repaired. Its performance is not much different from the Goliam of the Peria Defense Force, which had only replaced shields against Vandalus.
The next generation, Starfish Beast King, is younger and never stronger than Repobilis, as are the children of Harinshev, as well as the brothers of Valfaz.
The number of sub-gods is returning, but overall strength is declining.
After that, you have to make up for it with a monster. The collection itself is easy, the continent of the Demon King is a treasure trove of demons. If they are careless, they are also subgods, and they are inhabited by as many powerful monsters as they cannot be intact.
The tricky thing is to taming ...
But if you have the time, you can recover.
Currently, the gods of the Arda faction have three most important defense points. First, there is Heinz who may be able to defeat Vandaloo and revive Bellwood. The continent of the Demon King with the sealed botine and the sea where Pelia sleeps.
Other places that are less likely to be targeted by Vandalu than their importance are the sphere of influence of the Amid Empire and the temple of the gods of the Ardas of the Orbaum election.
And magical dungeons and high difficulty dungeons that have appeared in places that are beyond human reach. Some places, such as places where evil or Vida gods are sealed, are safe for short-term use.
Even if the guarding sub-god or god leaves the place, the magical area or dungeon does not immediately cause a runaway. Strong monsters have less fertility and should be fine for decades.
If you can persuade the gods who protect those places and add them to the defense squad, you can improve not only the number, but also the quality.
I can, but ...
"Stupid! Ten flying fleets are approaching! ?
That is why Ghosn glanced at the worst news that came.
"It's ridiculous ... I guess it takes time to build that one! ?
Until then, the Ghosnians thought that the fake quattro would take some time, as the Vandaloo raid was open for days to more than a month.
I never imagined that it would be possible to build each boat in a matter of hours with wood.
"Isn't this a hallucination! ?
"Unfortunately, all ten ships are real ...!
"... I mean, you've finally come. The day before ... the previous attacks were fraudulent to trick and guard us!
He has deliberately attacked at intervals to mislead the time required to build the fake Quattro.
Ghosn decided that he had to repel ten fleets with all the might of the defense squad. But at the same time, he understood that it was difficult.
You have to defeat enemies with a lower strength than the previous day and a higher strength than the previous day. Of those ten fleets, how many are vessels to carry huge beings, and how many suicide bombers ... [Vegetable]?
The monsters in charge of exhaustion are too few to fulfill their role. It is possible to force the monsters without flight ability to fly by magic so that the numbers can be aligned, but is that really useful?
(Assuming this assault is repulsed at the expense of many siblings, what then?
Vandalu has been serious. Without a pause, tomorrow ... no, I will attack again tonight. Will reinforcements be in time by that time? )
So far, has there been a difference between the strength and the supply, and is there any point in fighting? Should we withdraw and eat Botyn's soul, shouldn't we focus on remaining Peria's defense?
Gone is the idea of such a losing dog.
"Maybe you're thinking about running away, right?
As if I had read it, Bratheo uttered provocative words to Gone.
"Brateo. But even if you fight here-- ''
"If we escape here, he will eat the botin and build on his strength, and then he will rush into the waters where Pelia sleeps. No, I might aim for Bellwood who sleeps in the back of the people in "The Dungeon of Arda's Trial"
Fighting doesn't help. Just as the Ghosn tries to say so, Bratheo talks about running away.
"The last thing we have is we who have lost the chance of winning, the fearless Great Demon King Vandalu over Devil King Gudranis, and his army.
After that, we will slaughter us and make this world a mixed race with evil gods, which is called a new race, and a demon world where undead and demons are rampant. No, it doesn't always end in this world. According to Rodcorte, he can go back and forth between this and another world. '
"... What do you want to say, Brateo? No way, are you going to charge because there is no hope anyway?
"Speak idiots. I want to say that it's still better to believe that Arda will send reinforcements if you run away.
Of course, I can't stand running away without fighting him. '
In Bratheo's words, Gone and the surrounding sub-gods agreed that it might be so, except for the last word.
Remember, desperate battles have been experienced hundreds of thousands of years ago against Demon King opponents. This is not the first fight to win, not to lose.
"All right. Let's fight as it is. Ask Arda for help again! Survive their attacks many times until it comes!
At the command of Gone, who regained his supremacy, the members of the defense squad were valiant, "Oh! ].
However, there was a difference that the will alone could not help trying to regain morale.
An attacker cannot win without more than three times the strength of the defender. A word used in human battles. But this is not the case.
This is because the guardians, the subgods, are so large that they cannot use defenses such as fortresses and ramparts.
It is no different from reckless attacking to engage in aerial combat casually.
"But the battlefield is down! Fight against the continent's perimeter, not over the surrounding waters, but as one of the pseudo-shrines!
Ghosn decided to carry out an operation that came up immediately.
"Mum ... Then you can fight monsters without flying ability or Orichalcum Golem who can only float, but you can hold down the top."
"That's right! Furthermore, I can't fight enough, but anyway, the power of the water attribute dragon and the true giant will fall!
Bratheo and Madrosa, who had not healed yesterday's wounds, objected, but Ghosn said, "I'm not worried."
"What looks like a fort is a pseudo sanctuary at the base of that lake. It's a double-edged blade. If you don't use it, you will lose before fighting. "
Gufadogan, who was convinced of his strategy and left himself behind Vandaloo, looked around with no expression.
The real Quattro, the flagship of the 10 fleets, has its bow on the continent of the chaotic Demon King. However, I could not see any of the sub-gods that would have blocked their way.
"You should be aware of this approach ...?"
The eyes of her possession, imitating the elf's beautiful girl, shook with confusion. The reason is that you need to come out of the defense squad that blocks your way.
"The second stage of the operation is to use these ten fleets as decoys to attract the Ghosn, and the great Vandaloo breaks Botyn's seal, and assaults the Ghohn from behind to pinch and shoot.
We have to keep the Gone as far away from the sealed botine as possible ... "
"Maybe it's too exhausted in the battle yesterday and you can't come out?
"I'm scared, maybe I'm shrinking near Bottine."
"Would you like to fire instead of greeting, just in case? I may come out in a hurry ”
The Four Dead Sea Captains give their opinions. With that in mind, Gufadogan thought about what action to take.
"... I will advance as it is. Watch out for sudden hits from underneath."
You don't even have to talk to the Familiar King and Vandalu
"Geey!
The Quattro follows the fake Quattro and resumes the march. On the ground is a desert with a tornado and a volcanic zone where magma wriggles ignoring gravity, but at altitudes of 1,000 meters it is safe to proceed.
If you continue to the point where Bottine is sealed, it will arrive in about half a day. Before that, Gfadgarn thought that the Ghosn's should be gimmicky.
"Attack! Many monsters approach from the sky!
However, contrary to that expectation, it was not subgods but monsters that attacked.
"Hey, even if the Master of the Master comes out! Hold the bow together!
Moreover, it is a rank 5 or 6 monster that is treated as a zako on this continent, as the bow and arrow used by the undead sailors can be enough for the opponent, not the shell type spell king.
They appeared one after another from the clouds above the Quattro and the fleet and attacked.
"Is that cloud a magical sky?"
An airspace that has turned into a demon boundary where monsters occur. At first glance it was just a white cloud, but it was actually a white nest of demons.
"What should I do, Gufadogan? And Godwin is starting a preparatory movement. Should I stop it?
On one of the fake quattros, the sons of Vandalu and Tiamat ... Darcy, who is riding with his grandson, use a goblin radio to talk.
"Let's go down altitude. Also, stop Godwin. It's fine if you're alive."
Currently, only Zako such as Wyvern has come out, but if you keep the altitude as it is, a strong monster around rank 13 that can not be defeated with one hand may appear.
If you are attacked by Gone while fighting such a strong monster, you will be at a disadvantage. It's good to make it look like there's a gap to get it out, but it's not good to really make a gap and do damage.
"Isn't my treatment rough? ?
"... So what's wrong?"
In the Trials of Zachart, Gfadogan's reputation for Godwin, the retired King of the Demon King who made a formidable and devastating strategy, was "it will not break even if it is roughly handled."
In any case, when the altitude was reduced by a few hundred meters under the direction of Gufadogan, the monster attack stopped as a lie. Apparently, he came out of the magical sky.
"It seems that there are many magical skies over the continent. We have maintained our current altitude and have become more vigilant against ground-based attacks-have you appeared?"
While Gufadogan was giving instructions to Captain Dead Sea, the space beside the lake shook.
At the next moment, various breaths such as lightning, rocks and ice blocks, water and light, and acidic bubbles are released toward the fleet.
"Start firing. Feier
In response, the artillery-type demon king of each ship starts firing. He shot and shattered the subgods across the shaking space, but collided with rocks and breath, exploded, and did not hurt them.
But it was the same that did not succeed.
"Release the demon! Leave the close combat to them and we will keep the distance! Don't get them closer!
With the destruction of the God of Horns, Sirius, Ghosn raises his voice again to take command. The sound of the drums that Zepaon beats at the same time as "The God of Jin Taiko", but can't he convey his command in the same tone as Sirius?
When Gufadogan wondered, countless monsters emerged from the lake and surrounding forests. Giant Gilman, Gigant Flying Shark, Crazy Water Spirit King from the waters of the mirror-like lake, Chimera varieties from the forest with different animal parts from the body, and Chaos Basilisk King with countless eyes . All were tormented the brave army at that time as a vanguard of the evil gods of the Demon King's army.
The common thing is that they are monsters with low or no flying abilities.
"I see. Did you lower this altitude using the magic sky above the continent?"
"Then, we're just set in the enemy trap! ?
"No, it's not."
Ahead of Gufadogan, one of the four captive Dead Sea Captains, pointed to a fake sanctuary in which a flock of demons distorted the space and disappeared.
It's not a dog running to the owner, but a carnivore that attacks the prey that has appeared.
"Attacking from the inside of the pseudo sanctuary to the outside may have revealed the connection with the outside, and noticed it by a demon."
"So that's it. But the number of demons coming here is more than double yesterday. "
"That's where your son comes in. Dulcia, please."
When Gufadogan signaled to the radio, one of the fleets stopped firing and shattered as if exploding from within.
At first glance, they appeared to be ordinary dragons.
“…………”
The overall appearance will be closer to a giant lizardman than a dragon. It has dark blue scales, four golden eyes, two pairs of gray wings on its limbs and back, and claws on its long tail.
"What is that dragon? There must have been no such dragon in the Vida school. ''
"It's a young man born in the last hundred thousand years! There is Tiamat over there, even if there are ten or twenty youngsters!
Brateo responds to the "Ice Giant" Mugan, who is not an undead or evil god, but is puzzled by the appearance of a dragon.
"Let's wake up. Bakunawa-chan."
The dragon ... Dulcia, standing on the shoulders of his first grandchild born between Vandalu and Tiamat, gently addresses him as he sleeps.
"Hey, rice!"
"rice……?
A still sleepy voice emanated from beneath Darussia.
"Rice ... which ...?
"Everyone who is in front of you is moving. You can eat as much as you want until you're full."
"Everybody ... rice! ? For real! ?
At that moment, Bakunawa's four eyes wide open, capturing the demons and the sub-gods behind them.
And, from the throat to the lower abdomen of Bakunawa, it split vertically and opened.
"Wow! Thank you!
From there came cheers and greetings before meals. And a red tongue. Bakunawa's mouth was on his torso, not his head.
Monsters in instinctive fear stop Bakunawa from appearing, and turn around to escape. However, he did not escape and was sucked into his mouth.
"Gyaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Goooooooooo !?"
Bakunawa inhales and inhales "rice". Even monsters, even the lightning and acid bubbles emitted by the surrounding trees and soil, and the Bratheos, are chopped with fangs, crushed with tongues, dissolved with saliva, and swallowed.
This vigorous appetite was his power, given the name "Baknawa", which is said to have swallowed the moon in the myths of the earth.
"It's delicious!
The taste of blood and offal spreads through the mouth! Crushing texture of bones and trees! Thick throat of life! The aftertaste of the shocked electric shock! Make Baknawa crazy.
"It's stupid! Eat my blitz! ?
"Don't be upset! Aim at the head or limbs instead of the torso! Refrain from physical magic, use lightning or light!
Gone sees that it is useless to attack the huge mouth of the torso, and gives instructions to the upsetting Brateos. In response, attacks concentrate on the head and limbs of Bakunawa.
"What do you want to do?"
"Um, it's already transformed."
However, it is also played by the magic of Darussia and Zadiris. In the meantime, shelling from the remaining nine fleets continues, with monsters escaping beyond Baknawa's suction and Ghosn who has escaped damage due to the distance.
"Are"
"Oh, sorry, dad. But it's delicious
"It was good"
"Be careful, Vandalu! Don't go out before Bakunawa-chan!"
However, some shell-type familiars disappeared in Bakunawa's mouth. ...... The fake Quattro carrying the Demon King is long in the stomach.
"As expected, the son of the great Vandalu. Only one man controls the battlefield."
"... Sure, I can't move beyond that, but I can't move here either."
"If we go out in front of Baku Nawa-chan, we will be hungry too."
Behind the impressed Gufadogan, the "Captains of the Dead Sea" captivate their faces. But she doesn't particularly care.
"It's okay. We don't have to beat the enemy alone."
Rather, it is more difficult for the opponent to withdraw to the place where Botin is sealed because of too much attack.
"Because the seal has not been opened yet."
After finishing the last excavation at the tip of the tunnel, Vandaloo was examining the black walls that appeared.
"It's like materialized magic. I see, there's a botine inside, and there's a subordinate near by when she's sealed."
Botin was sealed by Demon King Gudulanis during the battle with the Demon King Army. Botyn and his subordinates served as the halls of the inferior brave army, and were sealed off by Gudranis, who appeared before he left.
Vandalu had been told by Vida when he was invited to the sanctuary.
Sealing Ogami only with magic without using any tools or gimmicks, such as a magic circle drawn on the ground, is a skill not ashamed of the name of the Demon King.
"Is it going to be unraveled?"
"It seems we can solve it, but it may be more difficult than we thought."
Responding honestly to Juliana's voice, Vandaloo begins to break the seal. The part that touches his magic power melts away, but the pace is not fast.
"Unlike the seals given by the hero who can be broken by breaking the utensils, the seal given by this demon must be destroyed entirely."
The seal that the hero puts on the Demon King's Fragment and the evil god is a precision machine, for example. If you solve some important parts, you can cancel the effect immediately.
However, the seal given by the Demon King is like a lump of coal tar. Nothing is important, you have to eliminate everything.
"Is it not good to break at once with [Shard of Demon King]?
"It's on hold because it may hurt the sleeping botin inside the seal."
Voldal's violent opinion was not dismissed by Vandaloo. When the seal was opened to some extent, he seemed to think it was.
"But let's start with a straightforward approach."
"Is this a straightforward method?
"If you can't do it alone, it's probably straightforward to do it together."
Vandalus and others who take their alter egos out of the shadows and solve the curse with more than one.
The curse goes well, but it takes time.
"It's going to take so long ... isn't the demon on the continent of the Demon King affecting the seal badly?"
Being acquainted with Botin, Zorcodrio, an archetype vampire who is working with Vandaloo, asks him to think.
If the continent's continent distorted the space and gravity and created a sub-godlike monster, it would seem that it would be ok for the Demon King's seal to be strengthened.
But Vandaloo shook his head.
"No, it's not. The magic of the demon king who created this seal and the magic of the demon continent are completely different qualities. Even if they were affected, they would be insignificant."
The demon contaminating the Demon King's continent was infested after the Demon King Gudranis was defeated and the Bellwoods destroyed the Demon King's continent.
In other words, there is no relationship between the demon that is called the Demon King's continent, but contaminates it and the Demon King Gudranis.
"Then, did the Ardians seem to have taken the initiative to collect the world's magic on this continent, and did not have a negative effect on Botyn's seal?
I was relieved. I was a little worried that Botyn was affected by the magic. ''
"I'm not worried. If God were to be affected by magic, then the Vida gods inside the border mountains full of magic and on the continent would have managed to get lost. '
"That's right. I think it's okay unless it's fused directly with evil or evil gods."
To Zod, Volks and Vandaloo have warranted that.
To a lesser extent, both the Border Mountains and the Demon Continent are contaminated with demon. If it had been affected by magic for over 100,000 years, it should have been. In particular, Vida, who was asleep injured, was more vulnerable than the wrapped-in Bottine.
"Yes, that's right."
"The best thing to do is to be convinced .... But it seems better to have a little more self.
Ah"
Part of the black wall collapses, revealing something like a white haze. There, the body of Vandalu was swallowed without sound.
"Va, Vandalu !?"
"Okay, calm down."
"It's okay if your Majesty. Olbia came with me. "
Kimberly and Princess Leviae appear and stop Yuliana, who wants to follow her.
"Yes, it's okay to say that the alter egos still work."
And, as Zod says, Vandaloo alter egos continued to remove the seal. Since they share the memory and personality with the main body, the fact that their alter egos seem calm means that the main body is also safe.
"... Well, in his case, he would be fine with one limb, so it's dangerous to overtrust him."
But when Zod spoke about such a possibility, the vandalous alter egos rushed open.
"I'm really fine this time"
"My body has no scratches"
"I'm in front of Botin now"
