The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 346: Great Operation Stumbles at the Start

"What is it? It's already summer, but it's cold.

"Huh !? Rats, rats!"

"Anything that makes a lot of noise in a rat-kay, oh, oh, oh !?"

A horde of rats emerged out of nowhere, and Election Castle, the heart of the Orbaum election, panicked.

"What is this mass of rats !? Are they being manipulated with magic or something?"

"Calm down, a rat! The maid should stay away from the herd, the civilian should protect the documents! Bring some dog or cat!

But rats are rats. Guards and knights knew that they had to be scattered and exterminated.

"No! Cats and dogs can't compete with rats!"

"Lies !? Aside from cats, they're dogs trained for hunting and security !?"

Cats run by guards and knights were just kept away from rats, but dogs were hounds used by Elector Corbit to go hunting, and dogs trained for security.

However, the rats chose not to run away against cats and trained dogs, but to confront them. It was also intercepted by multiple animals.

The trapped rat is evaded, and the net, which should not be cut easily with a sword, can be easily breached.

"It's not just a mouse! It's just a matter of inviting me to the hallway and spelling out with magic!"

"Wait, do you use attacking magic like a mouse !? And if the artwork is damaged--"

"If you're saying that !?"

The knights are confused gradually because they can not cope with the rats as expected, but the Impmouth, led by Tadano rat, a small mouse-like witch and the spirits that can not be seen by the castle humans lurk in the elected castle Continue to search for the six roads you are on.

Then, while summarizing the gathered information, Vandaloo marks the sketch.

"The sky, rooftop, and attic that I looked into just in case ... I don't seem to be at the top of the castle."

The reason why I can say so is that there are no places that cannot be reached, cannot be seen, or cannot be entered at the top of the castle.

Rikudo Seiji prepares the same perfect preparation as "Origin" ... a hidden place that can never be found by Vandaloo and lurks there.

The only way to find it is to find a place that can't be found by Vandaloos.

Of course it is not a word game. Physically, there is some form of six-way hiding place. To find it, explore the castle with a spirit that can pass through all the walls, Impmouth who knows the way out of the castle and behind the walls, and a self-made alter ego who isn't deceived by any vision.

Then, paint finely the places where you could search. And six places are lurking in places where colors could not be painted.

To implement this method, you need a sufficient number of spirits and Impmouths, and above all, a complete sketch that covers secret escape routes that are not on the regular sketches and hidden rooms known only to the royal family. Was.

That was yesterday. We have already contacted our friends and are waiting in their respective locations.

"Now, the rest is the lower half. If it's a pattern, it's almost a basement ...?"

Make the spirits and Impmouth go above and below the ground. The inner maids and civilians of the castle escaped in pursuit of it, and the knights struggled to get rid of the rats without damaging the castle.

"How can we do it?"

"No, it's a rat. I guess you can get rid of it if you can roast it with flames all over."

"That's not possible!"

"Isn't it possible to use electric shock or cold? Then you can only defeat each one with attack magic. However, it has no magical power. Rats seem to be going to the ground and escape as it is It's better to take measures after that. ''

However, some court sorcerers have been sick of the duke of Al-Krem and Duke of Jahan, and have not been successful because they are not prepared to exterminate rats until they have damaged the castle.

"Yeah! Don't hurt the castle to get rid of the rat! Rather than take advantage of this confusion and watch out for intruders from outside! On the other hand, those who try to take confidential information and artwork out of the castle Watch out if there's nothing! "

King Corbitt, who was boiled down, skipped the instructions while being guarded by escort knights.

"You, follow the instructions of King Corbit !! However, the guards are the king and his family!

Now your Majesty, evacuate quickly! "

Military Sir Dormado also helped. If he knew that Impmouth was a monster, he would have had the magician release his attacking magic and let the knight wield his weapon, even if the castle had some damage.

However, it is common sense for them to be at least a meter long, like a horn rabbit or giant rat. In fact, there is no magician guild record in the palm of your hand.

As a result, he thought that the mouse might have been manipulated by someone, but didn't realize it was a monster.

"What is the Prime Minister? @ Where is the Prime Minister Tel Katanis?"

"I don't know! Maybe it's still in the office ..."

"Well, in this emergency."

Military Dormad involuntarily cursed and curbed frustration, remembering that he was in front of a knight or guard.

Recently, strange behavior .... Suddenly, he asked him to adopt weapons made of [Demon King's Fragment]. He didn't have a lot of work, but he stayed at the castle for more than a month without returning to his house. The presidency has reduced the number of soldiers and is different from before, but it cannot be left alone.

"Five knights and a court mage alone form a unit and greet the rescue!"

It is also conceivable that the mouse fell and was hit by a surprised head and was unconscious. It would be a good laugh to lose the country's heavyweight because of the rat turmoil.

"Haha!"

The ordered knights return to the upper levels of the castle with the sorcerer, but their movements are also in the middle of Vandaloo.

"I'm sorry, I'm late"

There, Prime Minister Telkatanis appeared.

"Where have you been, Prime Minister?"

"Well, if we didn't make sure that important documents were not lost or leaked in this turmoil, evacuation was delayed. We're sorry for the worries, His Majesty King Corbitt."

"Okay, then, evacuate outside the castle and wait for the rat to come out of the castle and watch."

"Understood"

Military Dormado felt uncomfortable with Prime Minister Tel Katanis, who had been evacuated without incident. I thought something was wrong, but these days the behavior of the Prime Minister is just strange.

And it won't be enough to run away from the flock of rats and pursue it. With that in mind, Military Dormad was evacuated.

These dolmads were being watched by the Demon King, who is in the pocket of the vampire zombie Ira, who has transformed into the Prime Minister of Telcatanis.

"The evacuation of the elected kings is proceeding faster than expected. Fortunately, for the safety of Tadano, it was fortunate to have been disguised as just a mouse. ''

Nodding so satisfactorily, he draws his attention to the other demon king's vision. Behind it was the real Prime Minister of Urgen Telkatanis.

It seems that Mr. Telcatanis stayed in his office and closed his eyes and prayed for something. It is unclear if he is seeking help from Rokudo Holy or just to report a catastrophic event, but there is no sign that Rokudo is moving.

In the first place, it is unknown whether Tel Katanis can communicate with Rokudo.

"If we continue our search, let's keep this down for now."

"What !? Nothing ... a monster !?"

"Would you at least be a songwriter?

The infamous King who invaded the office of Tel Katanis from the door ... An enormous brain, about one meter in diameter, with eyes, antennae, and arthropods resembling insects, was surprised and stopped his prayer. I will approach it as it is.

"It is impossible in that form. Let's endure with a monster."

"Yes"

"Are you a Bard of Priest Vida!"

"Bard .... Hmm, idols don't seem to have settled yet."

Kanako, behind the angel, groaned a little more than he knew that he was still halfway on the bard, rather than knowing himself.

"Aside from that, please do it immediately"

"Is it good? Isn't it bad if you reach out to this person?"

"I don't care. It was a trivial matter, as it was before the exploration operation, but now as the stage has advanced. ''

It harms the Prime Minister of the Great Powers. Ordinary people need to be prepared to be sentenced to imprisonment in their families and relatives, and non-ordinary people such as Vandaloos are inevitably disturbed by the duke of Al Krem, the Duke of Jahan, and the Tamer Guild.

Also, you should think that if you reach out to Tel Katanis, it will somehow be transmitted to Rokudo Holy.

So I couldn't get it until now ...

`` Six roads must not be aware of the abnormal situation where a lot of rats have occurred in the castle, and if we win the six roads, the minister will lose the race, and if we lose, it is doubtful that the elected kingdom will continue to exist as the elected kingdom So it doesn't matter.

So please do not hesitate. '

"Yes, I understand."

"Well, stay away from me!"

For one and one approaching, ignoring me and continuing a quiet conversation calmly, Prime Minister Telcatanis lowered his back and drew his sword, holding a shield.

It was an armor made by [Saint Rokudo] made of [Shard of Demon King].

Prime Minister Telkatanis, who thought that the outbreak of rats was a sign of the decisive battle that Rokudo had said, deliberately separated from other nobles and knights, prayed for Rokudo and waited for his advent, Judgment was an enemy.

His social status, which had been protecting him until now, has set himself up in a situation that doesn't work. That's all he can cling to.

"Lord, bless you! [Three-step slash]!"

Then Telcatanis cut into Kanako with a short prayer and enthusiasm.

"I'm sorry"

However, his sword was easily hit by Kanako's wand.

"What?"

And she was unable to scream because her front kick pierced her stomach.

"Now, it's okay, so I don't mind any problems. I'll copy this person's memory at [Venus], but ... isn't it good?

While saying so, Kanako grabs the head of the fainted Minister of Telcatanis with his right hand and puts his hand on the huge brain of the Demon King with his left hand.

"It's okay. Haven't you had any problems so far?

"I'm confirming that it would be a problem if it was normal. What's going on with [multiple souls]?"

Kanako's [Venus] is a cheat ability that allows you to copy and paste the memories and emotions of yourself and others. However, she used this ability to copy criminals and other memories to herself in the past, and she was affected by her spirit. It is now known that copying memories reminds me of the emotions and mental movements I remember at that time.

After reincarnation, he began to use his abilities more carefully, and at the same time, honed his skills. However, as a result of copying the memory of Prime Minister Tel Katanis, it would be unfortunate that if we were to get absorbed in six ways to Kanako.

Therefore, he decided to copy the memory of Prime Minister Tel Katanis and paste it directly into others, that is, Vandaloo, at [Venus] in Kanako.

He forced his criminal to relax with drugs and spend a calm, undisturbed routine. I tried several times with my memories during that time, but it took time, but I realized that it was possible. In addition, when tested with other criminals other than Vandaloo, all the criminals were affected, and the result was that even those who acquired the [mental pollution] skill were affected.

"Well, let's go ... Umm, it's still difficult to paste with that feeling whether it's sloppy or jerky."

"I'll take your time but do your best"

When actually trying to paste the memory of Prime Minister Tel Katanis, Kanako who is working is more burdensome than Vandaloo.

"I'll do my best, of course. It's subtle, but it's my own enemy attack. I don't have much resentment!"

While Kanako was struggling, the search by Impmouth and the spirit continued.

From the middle floor of the castle to above ground and underground. The sketches are being colored more and more.

Ira, disguised as King Corbit of the castle and Prime Minister of Tel-Katanis, is commanding the court magicians to stay on site and wait for a rat to come out of the castle.

Impmouth and the spirits look underground at their feet ... a secret escape route, but haven't found it yet. The place where Impmouth can not enter is where the spirit slips in, the place where the barrier is formed and the spirit can not enter is where Impmouth enters, and the place where neither can enter is confirmed by the demon king.

And the sketches were all filled.

Did Rokudo leave Tel Katanis in the castle and escaped elsewhere? Such doubts pass.

"I can't put in this floor"

However, one of the spirits suddenly made such a report. It was the basement in the deepest part of the castle, with no artifacts beneath it.

So far, even though Impmouth ran around the bottom floor of the basement to see if there were any gimmicks, he didn't look through the spirit for anything under the floor.

It was a discovery that I noticed a spirit that was accidentally flipped to the floor because I had let hundreds of thousands of spirits check it, not several.

"I can't go through this floor."

"Wow!"

"Hmm ... let's sharpen physically."

The next moment he found it, he began to look at the floor in total. The floor is purified from the inside, not the surface, that is, from the ground side, and a barrier is established. And the surface is just stone, but with a little shaving, a monster shell appears that is harder than steel.

It ’s like it ’s decided.

When the small scepter king crushed his shell with his front teeth like a rock drill, a hole was opened. The entrance of the dungeon was exposed.

"I see, was it possible for Rokudo Seiji to create dungeons, and it seems more dexterous to have a dungeon entrance on the basement floor?"

"Hah. Until now, I couldn't find anything, as long as I'm ashamed of" the labyrinth's evil god. "

[Transfer] Vandaloo and Gufadogan, who appeared, were surprised by the dexterity of the six roads. Until now, the entrance of the dungeon has appeared like a wall or door. There were few dungeons with doorways on the ground like pitfalls.

Moreover, the entrance was completely buried. The entrance to the dungeon cannot normally be filled. To be precise, they can be buried, but over time they will be broken by monsters inside the dungeon.

In the case of E-class dungeons that produce only weak demons, it is possible to use steel materials to keep them closed for a long time. However, if you keep the dungeon with the lid on, the monsters will continue to grow and the dungeon will grow and grade, and someday a strong monster will appear and break the steel material and come out on the ground.

Rokudo also creates low-grade dungeons, and if you were hiding inside while hunting horn rabbits, you can be convinced that you continued to hide. However, Vandalu holds a fragment of the shattered monster shell.

"In a dungeon where a monster with a shell of this hardness appears, it is likely that the lid of the doorway will be destroyed when Rokudo leaves his eyes ...

Along the way, Kanako succeeded in pasting the memory of Prime Minister Telkatanis. In the mind of Vandalu, his memories of the last few months flow like himself.

"It may be more serious than I had expected. It is no surprise that about 30 or so [the devil's shards] made their bodies and reincarnated."

"Not so many ... Is Rikudo already insane in the dungeon? I don't think that anything but the great Vandaloo is keeping me."

Even a single shard loses its sanity, even if it's active for a long time, even the subgod, the vampire. I don't think that more than thirty pieces can be endured by Rikudo.

The reason why there has been no movement so far may be that it has been completely taken over by [Shard of Demon King].

"Maybe ... but be careful"

While saying so, collect the spirits who made you explore the castle around you, and collect the Tadanos and Impmouth in your shadow. Then, Vandalu landed in a dungeon created by Rokudo.

A hierarchy reminiscent of a temple where many huge pillars line up. The moment you stand there, the effect of the [Labyrinth Creation] skill brings the structure of this hierarchy into the mind of Vandaloo.

"It's weird. This dungeon is E-class. Boss ranks 3 and higher. 4. There's no way that a monster that can pick that shell will appear."

"That's right. The only thing I notice right away is that guy who once beat me. '

At the moment the tone of the tone revered with plenty of familiar room, the doorway, which was supposed to be above the head of Vandaloo, closed.

"Stupid, can you turn off the entrance to the dungeon?"

The startle oozes into Gufadogan's voice. The dungeon had a rule that there must be an entrance. It was an absolute rule that she, who could be a labyrinth god, couldn't do anything. Gufadogan cannot explain why this is the case, but until now it was impossible to create a labyrinth with no entrance.

"I haven't erased it. I moved it, not the first level, but to the lowest level where I am. From your point of view, it's like swapping the first level and the bottom. "

Even so, it's an impossible dungeon operation even in Gufadgan.

"How could you do that much technology ... I couldn't do it with Gudranis, of course, not only with the evil goddess of the Demon Castle?"

"It is a special skill from a previous life that enhances technology. I'm sorry for this, but the dungeon is more elaborate. Please have plenty of fun.

Well then, good luck!

After saying that, the voice of Rokudo became inaudible.

The entrance to the dungeon moved from inside, but from the outside it was in the same place. If anyone were looking into the dungeon from that basement, suddenly the vandaloos would have disappeared, and instead, it would appear that a jet-black man had appeared all over, like an ebony.

"Containment seems to be successful. He will take some time to escape my fancy dungeon. '

When Rokudo Seiji left the dungeon, he grinned and distorted his mouth.

When creating dungeons for hiding and training, Rokudo first created a less difficult E-class dungeon as a prototype. And the A class dungeon was created with the lowest layer of the E class dungeon.

Create dungeons in dungeons. Like a dungeon with no doorway, Gufadogan is not possible ... and he has probably made it possible that he has never tried.

That was possible only because he knew the principles of dungeons from the memory of the Demon King.

The Demon King Gudranis was a monster with tremendous power, but at the same time, a sorcerer who could meet Rikurent, a genie of time and art.

With that memory ... knowledge, if the mind and the imagination of Rokudo were added, it was possible to extend the technology in a short time.

The difficulty of the dungeon created inside the E-class dungeon is A-class. And the hierarchy is one hundred. At that point, they won't be able to defeat Vandalu or even be exhausted. However, we have devised it so that we cannot capture it immediately.

"So, during this time ...

As Rokudo looked up to the heavens, holes were opened one by one on the left and right breastplates. From there, a vortex of compressed air is released towards the ceiling.

A powerful and incomparable nose breath using [Maou's nose] ... an air cannon. Its power is tremendous, destroying the ceiling of the basement as if a tornado had risen to the heavens, and straightened a hole straight through to the roof of Election Castle.

From that hole, Rokudo jumped out toward the ground and emerged in the sky.

A part of the castle was destroyed, and the election of Corbitt, who had been evacuated to the jet-black figure that emerged from the castle, made a startling and terrifying voice.

Feeling comfortable, Rokudo, floating above the castle, looked for a friend of Vandaloo.

"Suppose he wants to cut his strength a little while losing his calm and at the same time securing his hostage. If you use the magic of [Death delay], you can have a few hours for just the head. No, can I just kill and restrain my soul? '

Nevertheless, threatening to crush the soul should be enough to act as a hostage for Vandaloo.

In fact, Rokudo cannot break his soul because of the curse on Rhodocorte. But Vandaloo doesn't know that, and he doesn't have to teach him fools.

And he keeps the dominance and steals and absorbs the [Demon King's Fragment] captured by the extremely high Vandaloo. Rokudo, with the fragment of the soul of the Demon King Gudranis, was convinced that he could take the fragment from Vandalu.

I'm just worried about the trends of the Five Colored Blades and reincarnated asagi. Asagi, who has the power of Heinz, who can bring down the "Hero God" bellwood, and [Mage Smasher], which can erase attribute magic, including the death attribute, are troublesome for today's six roads.

If they cooperate and stand together, they will no longer take Vandaloo's allies hostage.

(But don't you be alarmed?)

It appears that Aruda, the God of Religion, has not commanded the Five Colored Blades to cooperate with Vandalu and his associates during this period.

Rather than fighting with Vandaloo, who could shoot at Heinz's back, Arda wants to kill himself and the surviving ones.

The rest is a resident of this world, but the one to watch out for is the "true" Randolph, and the rest is phantom.

"Now, first of all, let's say you capture Kanako Tsuchiya and Telcatanis impersonator near Telcatanis! ?

Rokudo was convinced that the road leading to victory was growing in front of himself, but he was surprised at the reaction of [Danger Detection: Death] without any warning, but quickly twisted himself.

"Guguaa! ?

However, he could not completely avoid the mysterious rays emitted from Election Castle, and his skin was burned from his flank to his waist.

"It's bad where you can afford it, but I'm out of your dungeon."

Looking at the window of the office of the Prime Minister of Tel-Katanis, a scepter king with a giant brain-like appearance is appearing. Perhaps she emits a mysterious ray from the eyeball, or Kanako reaches out from behind instead of the burned and collapsed eyeball and inserts a new eyeball.

"Ki, you! Panu! ?

Rikudo distorts his face with humiliation rather than the amount of damage received. He tried to counterattack immediately, but it was no longer enough to avoid the [dead bullet] fired from the front.

"And it's not impossible to get Gufadogan to open the Transfer Gate with me outside as a landmark. It wasn't easy."

Vandalou, accompanied by the five evil wands carrying Fidirg in one hand, a small messenger king in the other hand, and Gufadogan, who had a spell-out gear behind him, said so.

"Don't move my way to the end, you!

"Once you do it, you don't always go as planned. You'll eat it before you get used to it."
