The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 340: More Rats Exploring

Rokudo noticed that an unpleasant sign was coming from the palace, as if the insects were flying around.

"... Vandalu and his minions? Did you notice I was hiding? No, I haven't confirmed it yet. "

Rokudo inferred that if he had confirmation, he would take a more direct approach than to search.

He ordered Telcatanis to show his sword and shield to other nobles as weapons using the Demon King's Fragment, and disguised him.

This situation is the result.

It may be strange to describe it as a result even though you have been sent in and searched for. However, according to Rokudo's speculation, Vandaloo should have been wary of him.

Rokudo lost the battle in "Origin", but escaped without eating his soul. There is no doubt that Bandarou expects him to be adjusted by Rodcorte and sent to Lambda.

Urgen Telkatanis suddenly began to collect [the devil's shard] in his own hands, not in the temple. Rokudo expected that Vandalu would connect that to his existence.

"For now, it's just like sniffing around Telcatanis. But if it's a Vandalu, it's not a handpiece, it's going to hit me directly. "

Losing Telcatanis in a world where there are limited limbs and workers unlike "Origin" is painful. It hurts, but she has already acquired a new body and the reincarnation is over.

If Telkatanis is killed, it is a fatal injury for the six roads, since he will spit out all the information his soul knows and has to flee from it before he is ready.

However, Rokudo looked up information about Vandalu in the sanctuary of Rhodocorte. The reasoning was that Vandaloo would not do that unless things were imminent.

Vandalu should be vigilant and afraid. The cornered six roads are rampaging, and the people of the elected Orbaum are involved in the battle.

"Even in Vandalu, you would never dream that I had complete control over the shards of Gudranis' soul and reincarnated into a body made with [The Demon King's Shard]. However, Vandaloo should think that I have been reincarnated in this world with some odds, such as gaining more power than 'Ark Avalon'

In fact, without chance, Rokudo didn't want to reincarnate in Lambda. It's just a torture, such as a life escaping to a corner of the world and terrifying until it is destroyed by Vandaloo.

That's why Rokudo took on a risky danger to absorb Gudranis' shards of soul to win, and won that bet.

And as he was warned that he couldn't beat Rokudo as easily as before, he should be cautious. So he thought.

The thought is a vigilance against Vandalou who killed and killed his ambitions in the previous life. And more than that, Rokudo wants to value himself.

He wants to think that he must be vigilant that he has begun to move again and is a major threat because he has once defeated himself.

The self-esteem that has evolved from an elephantless human being and has reigned in the world has become enormous and does not return to its original size even if it once died.

"But I have limited time to earn. I must make this body completely mine as soon as possible ... "

Rokudo holds his fist to check his physical condition while saying so.

"Buggy!"

"Gumoooooo!"

Behind them, monsters like oaks and minotaurs appeared.

The monsters, each of which looks like a mighty monster above Rank 10, swing their weapons down at the back of an unprotected six way.

"Boogie !?"

"Mop !?"

However, at the next moment, the weapons that the demons swung down shattered, and disappeared as if the middle of the chest and half of the head had been scraped off by something.

"Ooooo ..."

"Gururu"

Whether the monsters were attracted to the smell of the blood or brain serum scattered, more monsters appeared. The rank is the same as or higher than the demon that Rokudo defeated earlier.

Hundreds of such monsters surround the six roads. Moreover, there are no signs of fighting each other, and they are merely turning the six roads into ferocity similar to madness.

The situation is that even A-class adventurers are prepared to die, and even S-class adventurers are prepared to die. However, Rokudo was not afraid of dust.

"It's just a good time"

Rokudo then stretched out something like a tentacle from his back and shoulders, just like reaching his hand.

The demons raise their roars, claws, fangs, and weapons, and fire, ice, lightning, and shockwaves to kill Six Paths.

And a number of deaths echoed. However, Rokudo was in the same position as before.

"[Devil King's Fragment] can now be used as such. At least with the same feeling as these limbs. … But the limbs are made of [Shards of the Demon King]

Rokudo was learning how to use the Demon King's Fragment smoothly and was adapting to a different body from humans and from Ark Avalon.

Humans and demons in this world can use the Demon King's Fragment to gain the Demon King Erosion skill and gradually take over the spirit, but this has never happened. This is probably because they take in pieces of Gudranis's soul, such as the Demon King's instinct and the Demon King's memory.

"And my own spirit has not been affected ... I would never have thought of such a diet before.

Rokudo had been eating only monsters since his reincarnation. In addition, while living, the flesh and internal organs are melted into mud, and no bones are left.

It is an unusual food habit for Rokudo, who has lived as a civilization in Origin, and for people in this world who use the meat of demons as food.

However, Rokudo didn't feel disgusted about that ... to put it another way, he wasn't even conscious until he thought that his spirit was affected by [the devil's fragment].

He was killing monsters in the same way as eating a dish on a plate.

"Is it influenced by your body? What do you think?

His voice resounds in a space where there is no life other than Rokudo just because the armor used by the demon is rolling.

"I don't think there is a problem, Mr. Rokudo"

However, there were those who responded to the voice of Rokudo. [Sherman] Kosuke Moriya.

"If your body changes, it is natural that you will be affected by the spirit. You cannot use a body made of [Shards of the Demon King] as it is in a human sense. "

However, the appearance of Moriya is so blurry and half transparent. Yes, he is not physically present.

Yes, he is a ghost who has not reincarnated and possessed the soul as a soul and descended into this world.

Other than him, there are Katherine Miller of [Artemis], Nanae Sugiura of [Ares], Yoshihiko Nishigami of [Sleipnir], and Johnny Yamaoka of [Barore]. [Copy] Takeo Iguchi's soul was hurt by Bandar, the alter ego of Vandalu, so he can only see a humanoid haze with no face.

The reason they are not reincarnated and become ghosts and possess the six roads is to help him. Even if you are reincarnated as a person, it is difficult to get more power in a short period of time than before, and even the possibility that they will get their feet and be detected in Vanderlu.

It would be better if Rokudo remained a ghost for use in Demon Magic. Because I thought so.

In addition, Dar Rong of [Kusujin] remains in the sanctuary of Rhodocorte to exchange information smoothly.

"Really. Your words that know me well can be trusted. I will continue to ask.

I want to train and develop magic after lunch, but ... it takes time to create a strong monster in a dungeon. "

Rokudo is inside a dungeon he created himself in the basement with the royal palace. Perhaps because he had a fragment of the soul of Demon King Gudranis, he was able to create the same dungeon as usual, unlike Vandalu. You couldn't control the monsters born in the dungeon.

[Fragment of the Demon King] recognizes Rokudo as the Demon King, but monsters born in the dungeon violently take the Rokudo as a foreign object and attack as if just to kill them.

Rokudo felt a little strange about that. The demons are originally because the soul is reincarnated by the Demon King's reincarnation system, which Guduranis imitates the reincarnation system of Rhodocorte.

But Rokudo is neither Gudranis or his evil god. However, in the dungeon you have created, there are no problems with monsters. I confirmed, but the soul was also there.

Then, where does the soul in the monster come from and return to? To prevent information leaks to Vandalu, a double triple barrier is set at the entrance of the dungeon so that no spirits can enter or leave. Therefore, there is no incarnation of the spirit that came in from outside.

However, Rokudo thought, "It's not important."

Maybe you have a piece of the soul of Demon King Gudranis, and unconsciously interferes with the Demon King Reincarnation System. Alternatively, when a dungeon occurs, there is a possibility that the demon reincarnation system automatically interferes and supplies a monster.

Either way, he concluded that for the strong enemy of Vandalu, and then for the six roads who might have to fight against the Ardians, "it does not take precedence over self-development."

Like the experimental body of "Origin", I thought that using monsters as a handpiece would add to my strength, but I immediately reconsidered that it was "a silly idea". They will either turn over to Vandalu, as they did in the past, or just go undead after being killed.

He does not know that the monsters created in the dungeon created by Vandaloo are just like meat dolls without souls in the dungeon, so he does not notice the strangeness of the monster generated in the dungeon he created Was.

"But number? It would be useful to use the hero candidates raised by the Ardas, the incarnated Mao, Gotouda, and Olbaum soldiers as pieces.

In particular, if an unfamiliar soldier is available, he will hesitate to kill. '

Even a simple soldier who doesn't know anything should be a little helpful if Rokudo prepares his weapons. However, that would be difficult given the recent meeting. With the help of Telcatanis, one or two troops will be able to take the time and effort. However, there is no point in taking the time and effort to do so, because the results are not balanced with the effort paid.

"Status system. When I heard it for the first time, I thought it was like a game, but I'm jealous if only I couldn't benefit from it. "

With that said, Rokudo headed deep into the dungeon.

The rat entered the Orbaum royal palace, crawling under the shade, behind the ceiling, and under the floor to gather information.

"Chu, chu"

"Guiy, Guy Guy"

"Ju ~ Ju ~"

"Zoo ~, Zoo ~"

"Ju ~ Ju ~"

"It's such a great Vandalu, never forget the room in any situation."

"No, I just imitated a rat because I have a little time."

The space above the room with the royal palace, which was distorted by the magic of Gufadogan, was the front base of the vandaloos who infiltrated the royal palace.

There was a masquerade king, who was disguised as a rat, a mud scotch rice, a rodent demon, a boner who was alive rat, and a real rat who probably imitated a rat, and a real rat competed for a rat likeness.

Is it held at the number one rat contest?

On the head of the Familiar is the large monocular and the antennae of insects, the feet have suckers such as frogs, and the yotsutsukome, an alter ego created by Izanami, one of the legion personalities, has no skin and no muscle fibers It is a problem before squealing, because the bare bones have not done anything in disguise. There is no doubt that they will be lost just by their appearance.

The rat demon is the closest to a rat because it has the appearance of a rat itself, except for its small horns and bright red eyes.

"For the time being, the champion is my new friend, Tadano Rat."

"I'm sorry. I don't even have the skin of the yomotsukome if you have the skin."

"I'm sorry for a former mouse, but let's celebrate the winner now."

"Chew!"

When the rat Tadano rejoices, she plunges her head into the soup dish containing the blood and meat of the champion prize, Vandaloo, and drinks very hard. Whether it's a fellow in the same group, or a family, multiple rats, rat demons and small rats run up and drink blood.

They all look at it as if they look at the sight of a smile. One participant is mixed, but no one cares about the details.

You're probably exploring Urgen Telkatanis's plot and the six roads that are probably behind him, but there's time to say that there's time to do this, but there's time.

At this time, Vandaloo has refrained from aggressively gathering information ... abducting people who might have the information and using torture or brainwashing to squeeze the information.

Instead, they are sniffing into each room of the Royal Palace, mimicking small animals, and stealing documents by Braga.

He also conducts interrogation by abducting the subject. With a kind specification that abducts a person who has become blind before and after using a drug that has no addiction and does not have sequelae, interrogates, and releases it at the place where it was before the effect of the drug was solved.

As a result, there is more manpower.

Even if the royal palace is large, it has limited rooms, and so does eavesdropping targets. Having more than one rat in the same room is not pointless, but having dozens of them is just too much.

Once you show the documents to be stolen for information gathering, once you show them to Familiar King, the alter ego of Vandaloo, you can remember without changing any one character by the effect of the [complete recording technique] skill.

There is no problem copying these documents, as the alter ego king will do it.

The preparation of the medicine is also going well, as the director of the psychiatric clinic, which has become free because the patients are no longer patients in many ways, is doing it.

Still, collecting information is not going well. Evidence of corrupt aristocracy's injustice and information on the darkness of the Orbaum election buried in history has already been obtained in dozens of units. However, no information is available on the shadow of Rokudo St., his relationship with Prime Minister Telkatanis, and what he is planning and where he is.

"But where are the six roads?

"I could easily get the evidence that Telkatanis was collecting [Shards of Demon King] and [Equipment]. Well, this is a copy."

Izanami, one of the characters of Legion, who looks like a beautiful girl or a beautiful woman with a straight bangs and looks like a beautiful girl or a beautiful girl, tears her little finger and throws it away.

"Giaaaa!"

The little finger thrown away turns into an ugly beast, an ugly beast in the form of a monkey, about the size of a large rat.

The Izanami that he created in his previous life is also an uncontrollable ferocious monster who could only prevent himself from attacking.

Of course, such an entity cannot be used for espionage.

"Next is me. Let's do surgery."

However, Izanami instantly transforms into a brown-skinned, exotic-looking beauty, Isis, who tries to escape and steps on her to catch her and point her at the scalpel she had on her head.

"Giiii!"

"Huhhh ... yes, I'm done."

However, when the scalpel is moved several times to embed a small demon king, it is quickly replaced by a Nordic beauty, Valkyrie.

"Come on, new warriors! Take your armor and join the battlefield!"

"Guy"

The yomotsukome remodeled by Isis will be armed in accordance with the Valkyrie, wearing fur of the same color as the rat, and will stand by in the same place as the other remodeled yomoshikome.

"King, is it bad to ask Telkatanis directly?"

"If you do that, it will be quick, but at the same time you will notice six ways. I don't want to do that when I don't know anything about him. ''

The connection between Rokudo and Prime Minister Telkatanis is black as situational evidence. After examining the documents, Urgen Telkatanis did not do any research on [Shards of the Demon King]. Nevertheless, the Prime Minister suddenly gathered [Maou's fragment], and recently unveiled weapons made of [Maou's fragment] to the nobles.

Of course, there are no artisans or alchemists who have spoken to him when explaining to Hadros. We have already surveyed the facilities owned, as well as the Tel Katanis mansion. There were no armorers among the vassal, and no alchemists had entered or exited the Royal Palace.

When this happens, it seems that Telcatanis is only working with someone, nobles, merchants, criminal organizations, or other godless vampires who are already breathing insects.

If so, its "existence" is limited. It's Rokudo Holy, which was backed up by the "Homei God" Arda or Rodcorte. These two can use the "oracle" to make contact with Telcatanis without leaving any trace.

However, the lines of Arda seemed thinner the more I examined. Arda is unlikely to have Telcatanis propose to use Armor made of [Shards of the Demon King] as camouflage according to Hadros, but to use it in the military.

And if you're moving under Arda's direction, Telcatanis is more likely to say "This is God's will." Conspiracy will not be limited to just one person, but rather a call for a companion to cooperate with or a request from the temple for help. Even if Alda receives some instructions, it is the human Telcatanis that acts on earth as long as Alda is God.

So the Bandarou and others thought that the possibilities of the six roads were rich.

"Lord, isn't Rikudo still incarnated yet?

"What ?! So it was useless to look for this?"

"Valkyrie, voice is big and surprised"

"Because my magic blocks the vibrations, the sound in this room does not leak outside, but it is not good to relax too much."

"Mum !? I'm sorry!"

"Screaming in a whisper has become dexterous, Walkure. Anyway, reincarnation should be. He would have given him the armor made of [Demon King's Fragment] to Prime Minister Telkatanis. "

"I see. However, if the guess is correct, Rikudo Seiji is parasitizing [the devil's fragment] in his body or making materials using [the devil's brace].

Is it the latter?

"Even though it has the same aptitude of death attribute magic as the great Vandaloo, it is unlikely that the six-way sacred can do the same thing as the great Vandaloo. I also consider the latter."

If you parasitize the [Devil's Fragment] on your body, you will gradually take over your consciousness. So, as long as the seal is maintained, there is no danger of [orthotics]. Yes, the boner and Gufadogan had speculated.

"But if Rokudo doesn't parasitize the body, there should be a seal somewhere [the devil's fragment] that Telkatanis would have collected!"

The demon kings nodded at Walkure's shouting words.

Regardless of whether Rokudo parasitizes the [Devil King's Fragment] in the body ... Probably, there are still hidden rooms, spatial attributes, new death attribute magic developed by Rokudo, or special due to some cheat ability I wonder if they have created a nice space and are trapped there.

Perhaps you're doing a dungeon, physically blocking the entrance and forging it into an ordinary wall, or something like that. ''

"I see, you're trying to change the rat to get the same number."

"Well, there is. The intuition of the wild may help. '

While talking, the rats filled the stomach with plenty of Vandaloo's blood, raising their faces from the soup plate and screaming.

"Ju ~"

The size, the face, the color, the weight, and the appearance are all murine.

"It looks the same, but it's a monster"

"Usually, monsters grow larger; smaller monsters are weaker. Smarter, smaller monsters, rare."

"For the time being, a little devil rat ... let's name it Impmouth. Now, look inside the castle. '

"New!"

The rats, named Impmouth, scattered throughout the castle to look for the six-way sacred.
