The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

It was a fuss at human society, even at the temples of the Nine Roads and wind gods.

Yesterday, the statue of the God of Horns, Sirius, shattered, and some of the religious priests of Sirius were fainted, leaving a knight with his blessing drowning in a stew. The case was not over, including the dismay of the clergy who did not faint.

But who would think that the statue of Zepaon, the god of Jintaiko, would continue to break?

Since both pillars were older deities that existed before the Demon King appeared in this world, and among the gods of the wind attribute, they were gods with a strong warrior aspect, so there were many followers among the subordinates.

This year, three pillars of the statue of God, including the Thundercloud God, Fitun, are shattering. People feared that something was happening in a place they did not know, something that would affect the fate of the world.

In particular, there was great confusion in the Amid Empire, where the papal elite of Malda, Erik Malmo, was told by the oracle that God gave him the resurrection of the Demon King.

The sudden abdication of Maskhzzar and the throne of the eldest son of the Duke of Iristel, a foreign relative of Erik, previously unknown to the people.

An Amid empire hero, a living legend, an S-class adventurer, led by Schneider in the Storm of Thunder, attacking the Duke of Malmo in the Storm of Violence and destroying the Temple of Arda. And coming out of being a Vida believer.

For the average person who does not know the circumstances behind the scenes, it is a big event that may or may not occur once in a lifetime. Moreover, the resurrection of the Demon King who managed to deal with Sirius, Zepaon, and Fitun is more than trembling with fear and anxiety.

Even panicking, even desperate people could even riot, saying, "This is the end of the world." Moreover, the cause was in the temple ... an incident that took place in the heart of their mind.

Nobles, knights, and guards who normally rule the people are unconvincing no matter how much they say, "I'm OK, don't worry." Aside from the new emperor's throne, the secular aristocrat knows what is happening to the gods.

It is the priesthood's duty to quell the worshipers who complain of anxiety and cling to God. However, among the priests of Zepaon whose statues shattered to calm them down, the high priest, who has high hopes, is fainted with white eyes. The effect was not good because only those who had never received the oracle from Zepaon were awake.

Priests who serve other gods in the Lord cannot explain what happened. However, when God was alive, the temples of Nine Lord and Arda, the priests of subordinates, and the heroes who were protected by the gods, struggled in various places.

"Wow! What a good day, today!"

But it wasn't just bad news for the people.

"No way, I can reach this day while I'm alive ... I tell everyone, Botyn, our goddess has been released from the seal of the Demon King and resurrected!"

It was the resurrection of Botin, the goddess of land and artisan, and Pelia, the goddess of water and knowledge.

The goddess, regardless of the Amid Empire or the Orbaum Electoral Kingdom, oracles to all religious believers who can receive the oracle and announce their resurrection.

Believers who heard it shed tears of delight and sought to inform the people of this good news.

"No, wait! I'm still waiting!"

However, the oracle did not end with good news alone.

"I am mad and reconciled with the flames, blessing life with art, creation, and knowledge. But we have no light. "

Malmuk, a steel nation in the northern part of the Amid empire. The latter half of the oracle was heard by the Dwarves, the chief of the temple of Botyn in the capital.

(What exactly is this? What is no light ... is it a sign of something?) No, it is not.

The mad flame is Zantak, the art is Relent, and the creation is Zuluwan. And if knowledge is Pelia ... is blessing life a blessing of Vida! ? And there is no light "Homei God" Arda is not a friend ...)

"This, if we make this public, what will happen to this country ... what will happen to the people? The order will ... the country will only collapse."

The Amid Empire, whose state religion is Aldaism, where Alda, the god of law, serves as the main deity, is a country in which all its people are members of Alda.

There is also a statue of Arda in this temple.

That is why the dwarven temple chief cannot speak out what he has guessed from the oracle. Order the detained priest to tell only that Botin has been resurrected, and say, "I want to be alone to better consider the meaning of the oracle," and withdraw into my room to keep anyone away. An escort priest warrior was also on standby.

"What was Botyn's intention to do with such an oracle? Or did I fail to receive the oracle because I was immature?"

The oracle is inaccurate because the dwarf humans receive the will of the great gods. In some cases, he may receive only part of the oracle that God tried to drop, or it may sound different.

The head of the temple wondered if this would be the case again. Originally, "but we have no light" may have been followed by more words.

However, I realized that this was not the case.

"Speaking of which, why did I try to convey only the resurrection of the goddess to all of the believers? The oracle is transmitted all at once, no matter how long God's Word is ...

Maybe that oracle has been given twice! ? "

The oracle is rare. I haven't heard of a new oracle being made without a break. I've never heard of it, but I've never heard that I can't.

The question is why Botin did that.

"To teach me that if you could receive the first oracle correctly, you also received the second oracle correctly ...!"

Since the oracle that Botyn was resurrected is correct, the oracle that a second deity, other than Arda, has joined the Vida faction is also correct.

He knew it, but the face of the temple leader was not clear.

"Which mouth can I pray to Vida now? But the goddess must have entrusted me with oracle, because she must be expecting it.

We must borrow the wisdom of everyone and somehow convey the goddess' meaning to the people. ''

That is the significance of the clergy as an agent on God's earth.

He was a priest with a sense of mission to endure the pressure, but the oracle from Botyn was received by many other priests of Botin, and Peria had the same meaning to the clergy who served himself. With the oracle, he could borrow "the wisdom of everyone" no longer than he thought.

At that time, in the sanctuary of the god of law, Arda, there was severe silence.

After hearing the reports from the Peria Defense Corps gods and the Mirror Image god Rapin, Arda remains silent, and there is no Nine Road to unify the subordinates and respond to the situation. Is getting more severe.

The dependent gods gathered here could not afford to open their mouths. In particular, the subordinate gods of earth and water attributes are stunned and self-defeating as if they were facing the end of the world.

Because the sleeping Peria and the sealed Botyne were released, they gave it to the Vidas.

Among them, the overwhelming majority are those who have been acknowledged and sublimated to God by Botin and Peria. These young subordinates have never met the Ogami who is their Lord, but they have just been taught when they were just humans, saying, `` Botin and Peria must be on the side of Arda when they wake up. No. "

No, I didn't even think about it. He did not think and think, as the sun rose from the east and set in the west, except to become Arda's ally.

That is why the young gods were confused and unable to move.

And the puzzle of the old god who existed before the battle with the Demon King was deep. I couldn't understand why both Botin and Peria were on Vida's side.

Why is Pelia standing on the side of Vandaloo who embeds the dangerous [Shard of the Demon King] into her body and transforms her body into an ugly figure.

Why did Botyn proclaim that he would be a friend of Vandaloo, with a new race of Vida who draws blood from the unclean, undead and subgods such as Talos and Tiamat, as well as evil gods?

No matter how much you think, you can't answer.

Some say, "Maybe they were wrong. Did you think Arda and Bellwood's claims were the will of the other great gods? Some gods think.

But it was difficult for the gods to acknowledge it.

Because they became gods, they behaved as the gods of the Aldas, taught the laity, and the laity also worshiped them as the gods of the Alda.

To deny it is to deny yourself. It is nothing but a loss of identity.

In a different direction, God who forbids the killing and preaches the spirit of charity suddenly asserts that "violence is justice, and killing by the strong leads the world correctly."

"Well, Bottin-sama and Peria-sama were crazy?

So, some gods jumped on the easy idea that Botin and Peria went mad. In fact, at the time of Rikurent and Zuluwan, many gods were convinced that the idea was right.

"Thanks! Do you fool our Lord! ?

However, unlike Rikrent and Zuluwan, Botyn and Peria have subordinates within Arda who have a personality who actually knows them. It is hard for them to believe the goddess' declaration. But I can't be convinced that the serving entity has gone mad.

"But such a declaration doesn't seem very sane!

"No, I was insane!

And Bottin, who made a stately declaration, has witnesses. Lapin, the god of mirror images, testified as he saw it.

"At least, Mr. Botyn who declared before us was sane. There was a strong will in the eyes, full of ambition.

I don't think it's just going mad and uttering joke

"Well, but why do you make such a declaration and get on Vandalu's ally? We're told," I'm going away from Arda and being neutral. " Maybe the Vidas are going to say that filthy Vandaloo is right?

"It's ... but isn't it dangerous to assume that the Great God is crazy! ?

"It's dangerous! ? Are you going to crack us? If we are fighting, it will be a dream of a dream, such as defeating Vandalu. Will Gone's struggle be wasted! ?

"I don't say that! But I-

"Everyone, calm down"

Alda, who had been silent until then, opened his mouth heavily. The subordinates, which were about to quarrel, closed their mouths and waited for the words of the chief.

"Everyone's surprise is true. But instead of losing insanity, Botyn chose to give Vida insane. Like Peria who was deceiving us. '

But Arda's words were even more astonishing to the subordinates.

"Alda, isn't that the proof that Botyns are losing their mind? ?

"What the rationale is, for Vida ... Vandalu! ?

"Is it true that the botines broke their knees on the strong side when they hit the strong side! ?

It's no fuss, and Niltak, the God of Condemnation, who would otherwise silence them, couldn't speak.

"It is not. The botines chose a future that was different from our ideal and made it their own ideal.

I'm totally unacceptable. And I can't understand ...

Arda himself was too shocked to hear the words of Botin's declaration and that Peria had been deceiving himself for many years. It was bigger than when Zuluwan and Rikrent were revealed.

But that reminded me. The gods, especially the great gods, originally prioritized separate things.

It was out of consciousness that it was commonplace before the appearance of the Demon King Gudranis, because he had been holding gods together for more than 100,000 years after breaking with Vida.

"We ideally want to return to the normal, clean world before Gudranis appeared. No matter how humans may become accustomed to using demonic materials in a world where magical areas and dungeons exist, no matter how they take it for granted.

Even after hundreds of thousands of years, we are prepared to purify the magical world, persuade humans for millions of years, seal shards of evil gods and demon kings for tens of millions of years, and realize our ideals.

That was the ideal for Arda. A normal world where there are no demons, no magical boundaries and dungeons that create it.

And a world where there are no new races of Vida.

Now, as a result of Ninelord's proposal and subsequent consultations, he accepts the presence of a tribe that does not inherit the blood of an evil being whose rank is not displayed, but that was the limit for Arda.

A hundred thousand years ago, Vida described her children as "strong new people," but Arda didn't think so. For him, Vida's new race is not "people." They were intelligent monsters and were only their followers of the evil God.

A dark elf alone might have been able to admit. And it would not have been impossible to recognize the presence of giants, beasts, mermaids and dragons.

For Alda, the ice god Yupeon, who became the representative of the god of the water attribute after Pelia slept, and for now deceased Bratheo and Madrosa, they were not `` new humans, '' but `` human-like powers. '' I could only say, "Inferior family" or "Once upon a time a friend failed."

However, evil blood was still… because the fearless factor was not flowing.

However, there are no demons or other races with ranks. They are the factors that inherit the factors of evil gods. If they swarm, they will pollute the world like demons and create evil spirits.

I know that they have wisdom and heart of love. But as human beings say, kill goblins, they must be excluded whether their roots are evil or not.

Even without such a reason, Arda would have thought that the demons were ugly, invading normal humans.

But that is Arda's thinking. Arda has forgotten that other gods are not necessarily of the same opinion.

"But Botin and Peria, as well as Ricrent and Zuluwan, would have liked to co-exist with the present world, a world in which monsters continue to be born from the Makai. New Vida tribes recognize Vida reincarnation system

Arda has no idea how it happened or how their thoughts circulated. But the conclusion is clear.

"Such ... I can only think that I lost my insaneness! But ... it's impossible for Peria to lose her sanity. "

Yupeon shouts, which would have been most shocked by Pelia's joining the Vida faction. However, he remembered what God the original Lord was and struck his knees to wither.

"Then ... Alda, what should we do? I don't think the current world is normal. It's more to believe in Mr. Pelia who was deceiving us ... "

"Rigrent and Zuluwan who did not hide and preach their thoughts. They just give up the ideal of regaining the normal world before the Demon King appeared, and seemed to have succumbed to the present where the demon exists!

The young gods complained.

For Peria, who was sleeping in a raccoon dog, and for the recruits, who were awake and eclipsed, they said, `` I can't join him because Arda seems to have lost her sanity. There is a situation.

But the gods here are those who do not even consider Arda to be mad. As a result, they felt that the Peria were "unanimously accusing themselves of not claiming their wills and wills."

This would have been expected by the Pelia and others ... but this one appeared before Arda, expressing his opinion toward Vida, defending her and hitting the [Pile of Law].

We knew from the beginning that in exchange for our own security, we would lose trust from the young gods of the Ardas.

And their ideas were right.

"Nothing to do"

Arda has not lost reason. However, they are crazy to believe in the ideal and to strive for it.

"Just because they are different from us does not mean that we are wrong.

There is no mistake in our ideals. One day they will understand it. ''

Yes, the ideal is not wrong. It is not only realistic to aim for that ideal.

The power of the gods of the Ardas alone is not enough to make it happen. Even the combined power of the Vida gods is impossible. At least, the ideal cannot be achieved by 10 million years.

And even if you can achieve your ideals hundred million years into the future ... is it right to impose it on people from now to the future?

It would be right ten years from now. Even for a hundred years, it's for descendants. Even a millennium ahead, for long-lived races like the Elves, it's about great-grandsons and grandsons.

But what if it's more than ten thousand years? Can we force our lives and souls to fight Vandaloo and his empire for an ideal that will be realized in a unimaginable future?

Arda considers it good. The right person knows that fighting is a matter of course.

Just as the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. For Arda, it's not surprising.

"But six pillars of Ogami, including Vida and Zantak, are turning to the enemy ...!

"I won't worry. Thus, the battle will take place in a place where people live, not in an unexplored area. The time has come for the heroes we are raising to finally show their true value. "

[That! ? Can our heroes beat the opponents of the Gone! ?

He hears Alda's words as if one pillar of the subordinate god seemed to do so. Not surprisingly, it's hard to believe that a human being can win, despite being a hero, a huge and strong flesh.

"Of course I can win. You must have grown so that you can win. ''

However, in fact, true heroes ... humans who expect the gods to eventually become gods are stronger than subgods.

Certainly the subgods are strong. The giant about 100 meters, strong muscles and scales, fur and shells are solid armor and have various abilities depending on what they control. It is possible to work in places where humans cannot survive, such as the continent of the Demon King.

In that sense, the gods are definitely stronger than the heroes.

But struggle is another. True heroes can beat true giants, dragons, and beast kings.

In fact, Schneider in Vladimir's Hero of the Thunderstorm has defeated several evil dragons. And in the past, the heroes of the gods of the Arda faction have also defeated subgods, such as the vampires.

The heroes take advantage of the status system to the utmost, craft skillful tactics, equip good weapons, and drop angels and heroes of the gods into their bodies. By doing so, you can also defeat the sub-god that is a symbol of natural wonders.

The best example of such a hero is the Bellwood heroes. They were humans, even though they were invited from another world to find the best vessel to receive the power of the gods.

"And everyone, finally, my hero, Heinz, led by the Five-Colored Blades, has reached Bellwood's sleeping tier. Not shortly he will be resurrected. '

In the words of Arda, the sanctuary was full of cheers after a long absence.

The battles with the Demon King Gudranis, reproduced in dungeons, were fierce.

Heinz himself, even seeing Gudranis disappear as particles, could not believe that he had won, and he did not warn him that it was a trap.

"Is this the same as Bellwood?"

Jennifer, a racial female martial artist, asks as she descends the stairs to the next level. But no one agreed with her words.

"Yes, Gudranis has defeated ... In a battle more than 100,000 years ago, the Bellwoods would have fought countless evil gods and monsters before their fight with the Demon King."

"I'm getting closer but probably not lined up."

Goddess of Sleep, the priest of Mill and the elf Diana, coached her, and the Dwarf shield, Deliza, agreed with her.

"And we died a number of times before we defeated the Demon King and came back and worked on it. It's far from the Bellwood, Farmaun, and Nine Roads that we beat in the real battle."

And, as Heinz says, their victory is the result of countless experiences-learning.

With the destruction of the original administrator, the God of Records, Curathos, the enemies recreated from the records of past strong opponents appearing in this dungeon have truly turned into past reproductions.

He has no thinking ability or judgment, and can only fight Heinz in accordance with actual battle patterns he has done in the past. It is impossible to act immediately in a pattern and change it according to Heinz.

A robot that can only move as programmed. Or it is an enemy character of the game.

While dying many times, Heinz and others learned the Demon King's behavior pattern and continued to defeat it.

Their ability is high enough to learn and pierce. At this stage, Schneider will still be able to win.

But if Kuratos were alive and recreated, and his enemies had a variety of behavioral patterns and decent thinking and judgment skills, he would not have been able to defeat them.

I can't say that they lined up with Bellwood.

"Because you beat the impostor, you have to get on the track."

"Hey, hey, I understand, but don't you have to stare so much?"

"Glance ...?"

Edgar, picking Jennifer, touched her face as she noticed only when she was told back.

It seems that power was in the middle of the eyebrows unconsciously. That's how Jennifer said ... No, the fight against the impostor was unpleasant.

"... It's bad. You seem a little nervous."

Edgar can't remember why it was unpleasant. Immediately, it was misleading, but nobody was deeply concerned.

Because they are going into the level where Bellwood sleeps.

I felt a slight swaying noise from the back of the door, which was visible down the stairs.
