The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 349: The Expanding Battlefield and Revealed Identity
"I'm okay, I'm going to get rid of scary monsters.
When Borzofoy, who is known to the guards as a `` monster person '', shakes his wand with a smile, the space around the mutant Minotaur, whose whole skin is made of metal, is distorted, and the right shoulder of the demon is burst .
"Gumoooooo !? Gaaaaaaaa!"
It is an advanced witchcraft that uses space-distorting power to destroy objects. However, a mutant of Minotaur, a high-ranking monster, will not fall even if his right arm and shoulder are cut into pieces. Raise the ax with his left arm to crush the dwarf sorcerer.
"[Life tree binding]!"
However, the magic of Karinia sprung suddenly from the handle of the ax and grew and grew to the roots of the mutant Minotaur.
"Gumoooooooooo ..."
Then, the roots absorb the vitality with violent momentum. The Minotaur mutant, already severely injured by Borzofoy's magic, was intolerable and died, leaving only metal skin and bones.
"Now, now, Mr. Smith. Go ahead."
"Be careful ... Marc"
"Oh, you guys take care!"
"If you send them to the hero prep school, they will always return!"
The guards Smith and Marc, whose faces and names were remembered because of their opposition to the frequently reported Borzofoy, who were guarded by the two, headed to the Heroes Preparatory School, protecting the general public.
However, of course, the entrance to the dungeon created by Rokudo has appeared around the hero prep school and on the road leading up to it.
However, the monsters that emerged from the gate were dropped one after another, from just the Wyvern to the Flame Dragon, from the Ogre to the Minotaur Hiking, and their torso were cut off and killed.
"Shit, I'm messed up with him!"
It was Randolph, the true teacher, who was doing this.
The monsters that appear from the gate one after another are slaughtered with daggers, bows, and spirit magic. Still, Randolph's face was intensely angry and frustrated.
"It was unexpected that there would be countless monsters appearing in the city at the same time. I couldn't afford the time to disguise myself in full swing, or just hide and support me!"
He was hired as a temporary lecturer and was at the Heroes Preparatory School, where he is still working. He was asked by Vandalurou to protect teachers and students, and to protect schoolhouses and underground dungeons, which would be evacuation shelters.
Randolph then intuitively sensed an emergency and jumped out, defeating dozens of monsters in an instant.
Moreover, only the monsters that appeared from the perspective of Randolph appeared to be insignificant, but there were too many. The custom gate appears at some distance from the other gates. Therefore, they must demonstrate their abilities to protect the city and school buildings.
"It's a tremendous ability. It's destroying the demon's head and heart accurately without causing any damage to the surroundings!"
"Is it true that the rumors that Mr. Dandlip could be Randolph were true?"
As a result, other instructors who went outside following Randolph were also identified.
"Huh ... so I told you to reveal my identity."
Meorilis sighed to Randolph, holding down his head with one hand and instantly killing a newly appearing monster.
If Randolph had previously revealed his identity to Vendaloo and asked him `` I don't want to be too public, '' he might have been able to do various camouflage work, such as preparing a fake dandripping teacher and securing an alibi. I can't do that.
"Kuss, redhead disguise is impossible for a while."
"Do you think it can be blue or green?"
"... I'm just going to the main street square."
Randolph ran away like a wind, killing monsters. As the word suggests, exterminating the monsters up to the avenue plaza would have encouraged people to evacuate and secured a way to do so.
With a squeeze, Meorilis pierces the eyes of Lord Basilisk, a monster resembling a giant lizard, with a high-speed rapier thrust.
"Gayee!"
It was a road basilisk with both eyes squashed and screaming, but the next moment the tongue popped out of his mouth and the third [petrified evil eye] on the tip reflected Meorilis.
"[Silver flash!]"
However, Meorilis did not turn into a stone statue and pierced the third eye of Lord Basilisk. He then stabbed it into a giant lizard that had lost its biggest weapon.
"As expected, the principal ...! The name and technique of" Stab Meteor "are still alive!"
One of the instructors comments on the vivid arrangement. During active duty, Meoriris was a skilled A-class adventurer who was described as a "stab meteor" due to the speed of the piercing.
However, he himself had a bitter face.
"It's duller than I thought. I feel heavier than I was in my active life.
"Would you like to learn to dance at Kanako-sensei too? Mai leads to Take. And it will also be a diet."
"Randolph can't hide his identity, but he knows he's in a bad mood, but the eights aren't very popular. What about the square?"
"There is no problem in the open space towards the aristocratic area. We left it up because promising young people were very active. Residential areas and slums are fine. Advanced aristocratic streets ... Needless to say."
"Well, did you understand the situation in this city in less than a minute !?"
One of the faculty members was surprised at Randolph, who briefly reported. Olbaum, the capital of the elected kingdom, is a large city with a population of about one million. In just a minute or so, it can't be defeated and turned around.
"It's not about grasping. I just went around the square in the commercial district from the square in front of the aristocratic city, and just came back after getting rid of the monsters that had been left free in the middle. Mostly from the wind spirits I just didn't see it. ''
The instructor looked up at Randolph, stunned that it was out of specification.
After all, even if he retired, his ability to run up to S-class adventurers is tremendous. If this person is there, could this crisis be overcome? I thought so.
"Hey, I'm not convinced that it doesn't hurt to say that it's okay.
"" Ha ha ha! ""
Randolph spotted it, and other instructors were accompanied and scolded. Heading for the demon that is about to emerge from the gate again, with a sweat that is more powerful than the demon.
"And! I forgot to say, but don't get inside the gate! I don't know when the gate will be closed by the power of the evil god who manipulates demons! I'll keep fighting with the herd of demons until they die!"
"Where is it from?"
"It's a Vandaloo familiar. The other side of the gate is a dungeon dominated by Rokudo, so I was just told I wouldn't enter anything but a disposable force."
"I see. So, have you finally been identified?"
"No, I mistakenly attacked and defeated it as a monster. After saying that information alone, it collapsed and disappeared."
"... Please apologize later."
While saying that, Meorilis uses magic to destroy the demon that the instructors have spilled.
"So, is a dungeon true? If so, does he control hundreds of dungeons?"
"I haven't heard that much ... but there's only one vast dungeon he controls in six ways."
Randolph replied, stating his guess.
The shape of the entrance gates is the same, there is a certain tendency in the type and strength of the demon that appears, and the appearance speed of monsters is too slow if hundreds of dungeons are running away .
"If each gate is a separate dungeon and it's runaway, monsters will continue to emerge from each gate like an avalanche. Is that kind of thing? "
"I thought there was only one entrance to the dungeon, but are there any exceptions?
But that's awkward. ''
If there is only one doorway in the dungeon, the area around it will be destroyed, but if you align the strength and surround the doorway, you can limit the spread of damage. However, it is impossible if there are doorways in the city.
While Meorilis listens to Randolph's speculation, inhabitants of the evacuated neighborhood are guided by the instructors into the school building.
This hero prep school is hard to see at first glance, but is more robust than an average fort. That's because they manage dungeons in the basement of the school building.
Even if the dungeon runs away, it is designed to keep the monsters in the school building.
"Although it's strong from the inside, it's hard to tell from the outside. It's usually the opposite, but it's an urban area protected by a strong wall. Well, can't help it.
So you don't have to hit the culprit of the case? "
"... Even if the creator is killed, the dungeon will not stop functioning. If the evacuation has been completed and it has not been killed by Vandaloo, he will go.
Are you good at students? "
"Oh, except for Pauvina and his party members, I'm cleaning up in the dungeon with instructors who aren't able to fight outside. Don't worry."
Fortunately, the gate, which is the entrance to the dungeon, appears only outdoors. It's not clear whether Rokudo made Vandalou frustrated by making it easier to see the monsters appearing in the city, or whether they could only go outside.
As a result, no monsters appeared in the empty warehouse and their discovery was delayed, and there were no gates inside other dungeons.
This prevented the dungeons prepared by Vandaloo from being used as shelters.
But not all shelters are immediately available.
At that time, instructors and students of former C-class adventurers who entered the dungeon managed by the Heroes Preparatory School were fighting fiercely.
"It's the same as on-the-job training! I'll win if I'm not careful, go on and on!"
"Extend the safety zone more for those who evacuate!"
Because they were not the first to evacuate, but instead attacked the dungeon to secure a safe haven in the dungeon where people on the ground could flee.
Since it is a dungeon managed on a daily basis, the first demons are weak and few in number. However, rank 1 and 2 demons pose a threat to the general public.
In addition, the relatively safe first and second floors have a small area that can be used because the inside is like an underground archeological site. A sufficient number of humans can be accommodated in the middle grasslands, wilderness, and forests where the monsters that emerge are reasonably strong.
However, most of the demons outside are higher than the bosses in this dungeon, so they are safer than the ground.
There were two parties ahead of those students. One is Alex's party.
"Leave the security of the first and second tiers up to the other students, and we'll do it from the third tier with the instructors who will catch up soon! First we will run up the stairs!"
"Oh! I can't beat them!"
While saying so, Robin slaughters goblins and giant bats, one after another, with two swinging spears in his left and right hands.
The first and second layers have weak and few monsters that appear, and are overpowered by powerful students and former adventurer instructors like Alex. Therefore, they were aiming at the third layer, where the ranks of the appearing demons rise.
"But can you catch up now?"
"They were just practicing in dungeons."
Rabbit beastman Towa and half-elf Anabel continue as they say. But Alex said.
"I know it's difficult, but the teachers have decided that we can't leave the fight outside, so we have to work hard! Like Elizabeth!"
At that time, on the four levels of the dungeon, the party of Elizabeth and the others Alex was aiming to exterminate the monsters.
"Woooooooooooo! [Double butt]!
"Nuoooooooooo! [Provocation]!
"[Flame bullet]! Kazezan!
"Hey! I'll skip it from the start and consume too much magic and stamina!"
So what Elizabeth was paying attention to was the three variants that knocked down demons one after another. The overall silhouette is a giant knight in jet-black sheet metal armor, but with huge eyes on its head and chest. And there are four arms, one from the left and right shoulders, and one from the back and waist.
The voice was that of a young boy, who shouted violently, shouting his spears and swords and firing magic from his wand, so scared of a monster that was supposed to be desperate.
Did Elizabeth imitate Vandaloo to seize a strange monster and follow him?
"Makto, Torus, Uzehu! Are you listening?"
"['Yes, I'm listening, Elizabeth!
What a strange shape it was, Elizabeth's party member Makto, a spearman, Torus, a swordsman and shield, and Youzef, a magician.
They were using the transformative bracelets received from Vandalu, which were modified based on Expo's defense specialty bracelets. Although it looks like a monster-like powered suit, it has a high level of guarantee that it can withstand 360 degrees and has two sub-arms to help fight and control posture, and that it can withstand defense even if stepped on by a mountain giant It is a performance equipment.
"But don't worry! This transformation brace is surprisingly sturdy… and it can help you not only with magic but also with the activation of martial arts.
"In this case, you can accept Minotaur attacks!
"You don't get on the track!"
Excited Maktos got their attention from Zona this time.
"It's the equipment that Van lent us specially this time."
"Yes, Maktos can't get the brace unless they take more lessons."
Zona, followed by her, Mahalia, and Elizabeth, also use makeover gear. This is an improved general-purpose thing I wore before.
"No, I feel like the lesson doesn't matter ..."
"Please take it, everyone is doing it. Dancing also leads to martial arts."
"Yes, yes ..."
Youzev succumbs to Mahalia's pressure. Elizabeth instructed, grasping the monsters gathering.
"Because the purpose has changed from completing the training tasks to thorough eradication of monsters, switch heads. I don't know how many people will evacuate, but below three levels will be the main shelter Wow.
If there were any monsters left there, Vandaloo, the man who left me here, would be overprotected! "
The Elizabeths are not in the ground where the Bandarloos are fighting, but in the dungeon of the Heroes Preliminary School because they are judged "still on the front line."
For that reason, he was waiting in a dungeon, which was supposed to be used as an evacuation center in an emergency, using practical training.
Vandaloo has no idea that Elizabeth and his colleagues were in the hands. I just asked them to do their job.
"Is that overprotective?
Attach the contact and the familiar angel in case of emergency.
"Over protection!"
Elizabeth flatly asserted to the angel behind him.
People screamed in the upper aristocrats, a little further away from the commercial district where the hero candidates are active and the hero prep school where the Randolphs are located.
"Wow ah !?"
"Help!"
However, nobles living in the neighborhood and those who served them ignored the evacuation guidance and tried to cope when the demon appeared.
Because they hire knights, soldiers, and former adventurer mercenaries. Such defenses either went outdoors to catch up when they noticed a fierce battle over Election Castle or were close to the escort nobles.
Therefore, those who were outside when the gate appeared could respond immediately.
"GURU?"
"Hi, hey !?"
However, all that came out were powerful monsters that could only be used as a wall of meat by ordinary soldiers and knights.
Of course, it is not uncommon for dukes and marquis who set up residences on higher aristocrats to have escorts for former B-class adventurers and knights comparable to them. In some cases, such houses were able to get rid of the demons that appeared.
"Well, no! No too many! No rescue coming from the castle?"
"Someone is fighting over the castle! Do you think relief will come in that situation?"
Knights and escorts in the Marquis of Dormado and Marquis Telcatanis, and in the residences of Marquis Corbit and Marquis Hartner, were able to compete with the first group of demons that appeared around their homes.
It is held in front of the gate to prevent the breath of fire and lightning, and to prevent serious damage to the surrounding area. However, the second and third monsters are appearing from the gate where there is no fighting power.
"I can't hold it up very much. If this happens, my wives have to escape ..."
"It's impossible to escape! The gate where monsters come out is not only here, but everywhere!"
"Well, I have to escape to the basement. If you're lucky, you may be saved!"
"Giooooooooo!
An adamantite golem of rank 10 was approaching in front of the escorts conversing with a sad expression.
"It's over. No way to perish from the center ..."
While bitter of regret, the knight set up a mithril-coated iron sword.
"I give up too soon!"
At that time, a fist came down with a shout.
"Huh ... eh?"
"Gugugigigigigigi! ?
A fist that suddenly flew ... A metal gauntlet slipped into the Adamantite Golem's head and shook it. A knight who makes a sudden voice involuntarily for sudden support.
"What are you amazed!"
When he thought that his screams had recurred, his gauntlets flew again, this time hitting the knees of the Adamantite Golem.
"Swords do not go well with golems! If you have time to watch, will you go to defeat other monsters or defend your master?"
With the Adamantite Golem striking one knee, the knights could see the screaming Lord. It looks like there is no arm in a small figure that is only as big as our chest.
"Oh, you are the" Knight of the Thousand Blades "Bar ...!"
"If you have the time to call on my name, move quickly! And if you want to escape, head to the Zachart Honorable Count House or Duke of Al Krem's House, where I am looking for me, not the basement!"
"Hah!"
"I'll be sure to give you this one!"
The rescuers of The Knight of the Thousands Valdilia split into two hands, one heading to a demon that could do their own good, and the other rushing back to the mansion to evacuate the lord's family.
"Well ... go back."
"Hah!
The gauntlet, who had rarely beat the Adamantite Golem, returned to Valdilia and was attached to his arm. This is not her new arm, like Simon or Natania's prosthesis.
Externally, Baldilia has lost her arms in an operation to recapture the former Scylla Autonomous Region, but she has not really lost it. It is a special living armor created by Vendaloo to deceive it, in which a spirit that seemed to be a knight of the Duke of Sauron was dwelling in a cage.
"Giooooooooo!
As expected, the Adamantite Golem stands still again, even if it has fist marks on its head and one knee, and is now heading to Valdilia.
"... As I said, it doesn't go well with me."
"Doooooooo!
"Knight of the thousand blades" Valdilia with a bitter smile. The man who ran to her is a flying human skeleton, whose entire body was dyed red with the blood of a demon.
"Adamantite cannot prevent my blade! [Right blade bone]!
He, who can use the bones of the whole body as a blade, quickly lost five Adamantite golems.
"Isn't the compatibility just meaningless before the absolute difference in skills? To become your sister's power, I need to be stronger too."
Valdilia renews her determination by seeing the success of the boners. With her in another place, the turmoil in the noble district grew.
"Is it good?"
"Help ?!"
"So I'm helping ..."
The servants and guards, the knights and the nobles, who were surprised at the sudden appearance of the demon, were wrapped around the ivy one after another and are being protected.
"Don't run away, give up and be contained by me! The bad creatures at birth!
By Silky Zaccato Mansion.
Silky, whose main building is a mansion, could not move, and was supposed to serve as a shelter. But she is a haunted house with no strangers in the nobility.
As a result, no one had escaped into her premises, even in words. For that reason, they began to use their abilities.
"Glua aa aa! Pita, hunt down!
"Don't miss! Capture everyone!
"Geey!
"It's a monster! We make time! Take me in the meantime!"
Deep soccer gardeners with mouths ripened to bloodshed eyes protect the fleeing people one after another by force, and Jubocco restrains them with ivy and transports them to Silky's premises. The Braga Ninja squad was dealing with demons that hindered rescue operations.
"If you smoked so much, you might be fat!"
"So, should I handle it? I just need to add more slices and stones."
And Eisen and Belmond were facing monsters trying to penetrate the fence of the Silky Zaccato Mansion.
The crampons pierce the demon with branches that grow from their backs, sucking nutrients, and the thread manipulated by Belmond breaks the demon apart.
But not just those who panic and jump out of the house. Since the demon is only outdoors, more people stayed in the mansion.
However, the rank of demons that appear is too high. Even if there is an emergency shelter underground, the blows and magic of high-ranking monsters can open large holes in the ground. They also noticed the location of survivors hiding with sensitive smells and special hearing.
In Orbaum, where such high-ranking monsters appear in countless numbers, you will not be able to survive unless you are lucky enough.
"Happy! I found it!
"Wow !? @ Carriage from the ceiling !?"
Even in a mansion, nobles trying to escape into the basement had been discovered by a high-ranking monster ... Sam.
"Come here is dangerous! Please ride!
Of course, the goal is rescue.
[Subspace driving] He has skills and runs in subspace as if slipping through a building, rescuing people indoors and going around.
"And what suddenly appeared?-If you could save your life-"
However, not only those who suddenly believe in the word of the person appearing from the ceiling or wall and can ride a dubious carriage. So was this nobleman.
"Ride quickly, are you going to take your time?"
However, at the moment she saw Eleonora, her attitude changed.
"Hello! You guys, follow your daughter right away!"
At the command of the aristocrat who was fascinated by Eleonora's Enchanted Magic, all his family and servants, including his own, rode on a carriage.
Sam looks just like a three-wheeled carriage, but the size of its carrier has increased to 1024 times due to the 10-level [Space Expansion] skill.
There is plenty of room to protect all servants and escorts, not just the nobles and their families.
Nobles who return to sane after the effect of [Enchanted Magic Eye] have expired naturally make noise, but they subside immediately.
"It's an emergency now, let's keep quiet"
"Oh, Duke of Al Krem !? Why are you here?"
"I'm serving you ..."
"I don't have time to explain! I'm in an emergency now, I'll follow my instructions!"
The aristocratic nobles were silent and quiet. The Duke of Al Krem appeared on the carrier and spoke to Sam.
"According to [Life detection], next is the basement of the next residence."
"Roger that. I'm saved, Mari "
The identity of the Duke of Al Krem, who should not be here, was Mari of [Metamol].
"But, if it could be transformed into [metamol], wouldn't it be better to choose Corbitt?-I've seen my face once, but I can make a transformation."
"That's no good. Spoofing the election is a death penalty, so it's troublesome later. The Duke of Al Krem has been given permission from him.
A document has been created stating that "I hired as a shadow warrior" in case I had a hard time later. Originally, it was supposed to be used by coures and islays, but she has no problem.
"I'm going to help you to return to the Silkies!
Then Sam dived into the subspace again.

-Demons explanation: Dimension Conquest carriage by Luciliano
A carriage-type undead that conquers space. This does not mean that you are actually conquering, but that you can freely run through the space as if you were conquering.
Before this undead, no solid fort makes sense. Only the same kind of undead, the master of spatial attribute magic, and the holy barrier that repels the undead can block the way.
However, their ability to deal with rank 11 undead will be limited, and they will be easily broken in moderate barriers. And it's unlikely that the same kind of monsters exist.
As always, his fighting ability is low, but it is very difficult to avoid his [Assault] suddenly appearing from the subspace. And we don't know what's on the bed, so if you are chased by Sam, we suggest you drop it out.
And the carrying capacity, which is the main feature, slightly exceeds that of large sailing vessels, and the livability is phenomenal. Even in extreme cold and volcanic areas, the hood keeps comfortable temperature and humidity.
Even if you take the fire dragon breath, those on the bed will not feel the heat. ... Sam himself is hot, hurts and burns, so I don't recommend trying it.
