The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 354: The Roar of the Evil Dragon Released
Edgar was severely hurt by Vandaloo in a battle in Arda's Trial Dungeon. The god of reincarnation, Rodcorte, was commissioned to treat him by the god of law, Alda, and used part of the soul of the demon king Gudranis for Edgar.
Why did Rhodecorte do such a terrible thing, because for him part of the soul of Gudranis used for Edgar was not a threat or danger.
A meaningless fine fragment that came out of dividing Gudranis's soul into several pieces. That's because it was [the powder of the soul of Demon King Gudranis].
If you compare your soul to metal or wood, it's like the fine metal and sawdust that comes out of cutting. Obviously, there wasn't much power to do that, and what I gave to Edgar's soul was just to use a glue to seal the wound.
The result is that, despite the fact that Rodcorte, a soul expert, is sure to be able to do so, Edgar may be abandoned or recover, but it is difficult to return as an adventurer, and it is necessary to return in a short period of time. Was completed.
Later, he used a fragment of the body of the Demon King Gudranis as a body to reincarnate Rokudo Seiji, a subgod. Transplant Gudranis's [instinct] and [memory] into the soul of the Six Ways, and curse it so as not to break the soul of others.
At that time, when Rokudo was reincarnated as Lambda, he was doing well.
But Arda, who thought he was a soul expert, and Rodcorte himself, were sometimes wrong. It is that Rhodocorte is not an ordinary soul-a skilled soul proficient in the handling of human, animal and plant souls, but different from ordinary creatures like Gudranis.
I only thought that it would help reinforce the experience of Rokudo and help me develop the magic of death attribute. [Remembering] memorized the thoughts and feelings of Gudranis at that time, It did not change when I extracted the information from [Memory].
The instinct, which assisted in the intuition of the battle of Rokudo and thought only about the lubricating oil necessary to manipulate the body made of [Fragment of the Demon King], cunningly guided and moved Rokudo to survive, Was. To survive as Gudranis's instinct, not Rokudo-sei's instinct.
What was most out-of-calculation for Rodcorte was that [Instinct] and [Memory] applied to Rokudo sensed and cooperated with [Powder] applied to Edgar. Although originally a single soul, it was out of the imagination of Rodcorte, as it was cut and lived in the souls of different beings.
Gudranis succeeded in bringing Rokudo and Edgar together on the battlefield, unnoticed by Rodcorte and Arda. After a few failures, he succeeded in killing Edgar on Rokudo.
(Why is something missing from me ... I am? Who am I? Edgar? Luke? Why am I piercing my chest in such a place? Yes, yes, I am an adventurer today For Heinz, Deliza, Riley, Martina and Guild ...)
[Powder] that has filled the wound of Edgar's soul is absorbed into the soul of Rokudo. All that remains is the deeply wounded soul of Edgar and the shard of Luke, the hero.
Even so, as Edgar's body is dying, consciousness is rapidly clouded.
Come back! My will, my feelings, my thoughts! Slightly back! ]
The [memory] and [instinct] of Gudranis that absorbed and fused the [powder] shook with joy. [Powder] Certainly it was like the refuse that came out when cutting the soul. But the debris was part of the soul ... [will], [emotion], and [thinking], as well as part of various other parts.
As for [powder] alone, there is no power as Rodcorte thought ... it only slightly strengthened Edgar and influenced his personality. However, by merging with other pieces of the soul, they regained their functions as parts. However, there is still an overwhelming amount to return to the original.
However, there is already a complement to it.
"What, what ...?
(What ?! What is going on !?)
Rokudo Seiji was at the height of confusion. His body was moving freely, his words were not spinning as he expected, his emotions were confused, intense nausea and eerie euphoria, and the chilling sensation of loss of his entire body filled his spirit.
"Oh yeah yeah yeah! ?
(Or, your body is distant !?)
The senses are separated from the body. The vision goes far away, as if you were looking backwards while watching the screen showing the image.
(What did you mean? I didn't get the power of the Demon King Gudranis !?) And I'm the only god in this world.
That's it! You will gain my power and become the only strongest god in the world to be at the top! ]
(This voice is no way !?)
Rokudo remembered the voice that sounded more louder than ever before, contrary to the sensation of the distant body. He woke up in the fight against Vandalu, but thought he was completely suppressed by his own reason.
(No way, you're Gudranis !?) Stupid, why, I should have had complete control over Gudranis' shards of souls!)
[Yes, I was pretending to have been controlled by you ...]
(What an idiot, I can't do such a cunning imitation on a mere primitive [instinct] without thought or reason!)
[Why do you think so? In the world where you were born, will there be any creatures with wisdom for survival despite primitive creatures? For example, pretend to be your own death in front of a natural enemy.
Also, [memory] was embedded in your soul. What's mysterious about having performed an action in [memory] of my far past? ]
Rokudo was convinced of Gudranis' words, but was convinced. Until now, he had learned from Rodkorte's knowledge of the Demon King's Fragment that he believed that all the pieces could only be runaway. It was thought that it was a state of having no intellectual intelligence except for [thinking] or [intellect] or such shards of the soul.
[Instinct] I wasn't aware that a piece of [Instinct] was running out of control, but I didn't realize that I could stay still quietly, as if I was doing a false death.
(Wow, you used me!)
[Hahahahaha! Thief is that the thief is fierce! Is it not you and Rhodocorte who tried to use my soul and body! If you grudge, you should grudge the helplessness of yourself who did not control me, and the sweetness of the prospects of Rodcorte! ]
(Oh, do it! I don't think I'll be able to revive as it is! I'll definitely regain physical control!)
Despite the feeling of despair rising, Rokudo was looking for a way for his brain to regain physical initiative from Gudranis.
(What was the extent to which you regained the tiny pieces of the soul that had been charged to Edgar's soul !?) With the addition of such a dusty thing, it was possible to take away the initiative from me and contain it But do you think !?)
Even though Rokudo thought this was hopeless, he thought it wasn't blocked. He believed that Gudranis had just taken over his body.
Gudranis was just parasitized, and his perception of himself was unwavering.
regain? Initiative? Puck, what are you talking about? Didn't you know where my voice is coming from? ]
(What do you mean ...?!)
Remembering the catastrophic cold, Rokudo tried to look around where Gudranis's unpleasant laughter came from.
Then I noticed. The laughter is very near… just behind myself… no, from the back of my head.
(It's an idiot !? It's such an idiot !? I mean, my soul is being absorbed into you by assimilation !?)
[That ’s right, Rokudo… No, I am! ]
Gudranis's face stuck to the back of the Rokudo. No, as soon as Rokudo recognized, he realized that his previous perception was wrong.
(That's what it is !?)
When Rokudo moved his eyes and looked down at himself, there was his back. Yes, it was not Gudulanis, but his own, that had only his face on the back of his head.
(You're ridiculous! You must not be able to eat and absorb your soul! The curse of Rodcorte must still work!)
[Yeah! That's right! Before we lost to the Bellwoods, we could crush our souls but not eat them! And now an annoying curse is binding me! It's the same as I hate Vandaloo, who can't break the curse directly on his soul before regaining power! ]
But, however, Gudranis continued.
[But the soul of Rokudo Holy is different! We are not breaking your soul or eating it! I am! ]
In that word, Rokudo understood all the causes.
(Rodo ... Corte ... Rod Corte !!)
The instincts and memories of the Demon King Gudulanis were embedded in the soul of Rokudo Holy by Rodcorte. Yes, it was embedded. Gudranis's instinct and memory will help Rokudo. Just as one.
So Gudranis can still interfere with the soul of the Six Ways, even under the influence of the curse of Rhodocorte. Because Guduranis and Rokudo are one and the same soul.
This would not have been the case if it had only been parasitized, as if the body fragments were host humans.
[That's right, thanks to the soul expert Rodcorte, you have won the honor of becoming one with me! But you think you're guilty of trying to use me? ]
(I, I am God! To God ...!)
[Yes, you are God! Not a fragile human soul, but a soul of God that can withstand functioning as a part of me! Your wisdom, your emotions, your reason, connect your soul fragment! ]
(Is that acceptable ?! Guduranissut, I, I will not be your springboard!)
Rokudo confronted himself with all his might to regain control of the soul. He learns how to fight with the soul in a short time and tries to resist Gudranis.
[Oops]
Gudulanis, on the other hand, drove much. Rokudo, who regained his soul's initiative more than once, was greatly relieved.
(Yeah ... gugu aa aa aa aa aa!
On the part that returned to the soul of the six roads, [Death Gun] and [Void Gun] with the effect of Vandaloo's [God Eating] skill explode.
Vandaloo, who does not know what the soul of the six roads is, has attacked the six roads that have started creeping cramps.
[Hahahahahahahahaha! Thanks to absorption! Ok Rokudo, thank you as you did to those who betrayed you! For you who became my step! To you who made you feel so pleasant! ]
Rokudo, whose thoughts remained untouched, ended with Gudranis's voice ... and became part of Gudranis.
Gudranis's consciousness returned to the outside world.
"Wow, I'm terrified! Huh, it's back! Finally revived! I ’m the “Demon King” Gudranis!
Declare your name proudly. Before being sealed, the gods and people of this world shouted with fear and despair without having to do such a thing.
The ugly and dirty clear blue sky and the warm and unpleasant early summer atmosphere. Even so, I felt refreshed now. The fact that the woman who is dropping Vida and Heinz, a friend of Edgar, was appalled also lifted Gudranis' mood.
“Kuhahah! Indeed--
"Fayel"
Blood and brain serum, and flesh and bone fragments splattered on Gudranis' face.
"Eh, Edgar !?"
Edgar's head, hanging with his chest pierced by Gudranis' arm, was blown away by a bullet made of [Devil King's Fragment]. Heinz again makes a sad voice.
"... I'm satisfied with Todome? Lost your soul, did you want to kill the body that was just a corpse in about ten seconds?
Yes, when Gudranis gently wiped Edgar's blood and brain blood, but asked with a terrifying murder, Vandalou kept his muzzle pointing and nodded obediently.
"Yeah, it was a priority, rather than a surprise hit that might not work for you. But what about having no soul? I haven't seen his spirit ... Did you break? "
Vandalou blew away Edgar's dying head, but was unable to eat its soul.
"I haven't broken my soul. After taking out the fine pieces of my soul, I have taken it back into my soul. Just like Rokudo Holy ”
"I see ... Rodocorte is just as troublesome as ever."
Vandaloo doesn't know exactly what happened to Edgar and Rokudo, and what he did to Rodcorte. However, not only Rokudo but also Edgar was loaded with something of Gudranis, and Gudranis probably revived for some reason after he was killed by Rokudo. I made such a guess.
In other words, Rhodocorte is bad.
But there will be another opinion for the Five Colored Blades. At the very least, Vandaloo recognizes that it is obvious that Edgar has died. No matter what Edgar did to Lodcorte, the only cause was that he had hurt Edgar's soul in the Dungeon of Arda's Trial until he was on the verge of being a crap.
So it doesn't matter if Heinz looks at himself or curses him, but their opinion seems different. He is more focused on Gudulanis than on Vandaloo. I'm not sure what they're thinking, but they seem to prioritize Gudranis over Vandaloo.
(There is no reason to prioritize killing them over Gudranis because the Heinz are out. It can't be helped. Later, Gudranis is also an enemy of Vida's and of my own long ago.)
Vandalu gave up and turned to Gudranis again.
"That sounds like you're back, is that your original figure?"
His appearance is a strange black humanoid, but his eyes are sharper than when he was six-way, and both ends of his mouth are torn to his ears, giving him a more evil look.
However, everything is different as it is the mythical figure of the Demon King Gudranis.
"I can't do that. We have no value for a particular figure, unlike you, so there is no reason to change significantly from this shape.
And it's a spit that runs away while you're sealed, robbing you of a number of body fragments and asking you to play with it. ''
In fact, Gudranis seems to be a different form from its true form. The reason why there is no significant change from the appearance of Rokudo is either because the body fragment is incomplete or because there is no point in changing it.
"Great Vandaloo, there is no specific form of Gudranis, at which point it can change to the most convenient form."
`` Gudulanis, when he was leading the Demon Army, appeared in front of us, with sharp tusks at the corners of a crown, a body wrapped in hard shells and scales, and his back on the skin wings I saw it like a mantle. But when it came to fighting, I changed shape, and each time I changed the number of arms, legs, and heads. ''
`` I know now, but I think the former was a figure that made himself easy to understand, intimidated and inspired fear against people and gods in this world. ''
"Before I came to this world, as far as I knew, I had never looked so demon-like."
`` After coming to this world, he began to capture some humans who lived on the continent now called the Demon King's continent, examine it, and take it. ''
Vandalou nodded at the words of Guidhad, Vida, and Fidirgu, who dwelled in the wobbly wand of five wobbles.
Apparently, Gudranis did not care about the specific form and form, and used it properly depending on the situation and use.
"Well, you don't care much about your figure. Rather, it looks like you're resurrected. What are you going to do next? Will you continue to kill us with the will of Rokudo?"
"... It's as if I'm not going to fight according to my will?"
"It's just a precautionary statement. There are many options, such as returning to the original world or throwing away the body and reincarnating as a human or something."
Gudulanis is an enemy to Vida, but Vandaloo wanted to confirm his intention. … For Vida, Arda will be more enemies than Gudlanis in the present, and there is no direct resentment for the Demon King as Vandaluu.
"Now !? Are you sane ?? Are you going to miss the Demon King?"
"Are you sure ?! Do you think they'll say," I'm happy just to be resurrected. "Or" Let's stop fighting! "
"The killing that is released from him is clearly heading for you! Isn't he aware?"
Heinz, Jennifer, and Diana shout each, but Vandaloo doesn't want to look.
"Shut up," The Five Colored Blades "! Evandaloo has deep thoughts!
"Is that so? I think it's just a confirmation. Hey, Levez."
"I am air, I am air, I am air ..."
Islay shouted at Heinz and the crowd, but Pauvina was right. There is no deep thought in Vandaluo.
However, I think that if you earn some time, the rescue work that Sam and his colleagues are doing may end in the meantime, but that's about it.
"Hmm ... sure. Now that we have the knowledge and wisdom of Rokudo and are in a completely different situation than before we lost to the Bellwoods, there are many options nowadays. "
Once Guduranis has said that and cuts his words, he looks again at the surrounding Bandarlu, his companions, and Heinz. He began talking about his options.
"It is not good to kill the hatred you as you do in the dealings with Rodcorte, kill and destroy all the living things of your unsightly empire, and destroy the traitors who wave their tails on you, as if you were married to Rokudo St.
Rodcorte is also one of the pillars of existence trying to use me. "
Upon hearing that, the Bandarloos knew for the first time that Rodcorte was aiming to destroy not only Vandaloo's life, but also the Vidal Demon Empire.
"... I have no choice but to destroy him."
Vandalu renews his determination, and Darussia and Ira nod.
"It is ridiculous to regroup the remnants of the Demon King Army right now, re-raise the battle lost 100,000 years ago, and invade this world. There is no use for frail traitors who do not wish for my resurrection while claiming to the followers of lower creatures that the demon king is resurrected on the lips. ''
Gudranis, meanwhile, denied resuming the invasion while bending his second finger. In response, Heinz turned his skeptical glance, "Do you really mean?"
"But we can't return to the world where we originally existed. It was almost 100,000 years ago and now the world itself is likely to be gone.
Then, I will respect you who hated you and join your subordinates. Even if you make use of the mind of Rokudo Seiji, you do not see the possibility of coexistence with you. ''
Gudranis, who did not look particularly tragic and abandoned his choice of returning to his hometown. There was no need for it because he abandoned it 100,000 years ago. He also denies joining Vandaloo in this world. Like some of the evil gods of the Remnants of the Demon King, Gudranis is too different in values and preferences from humans in this world.
That's why we were able to create demons and demons that create them in this world without hesitation.
He said, bending his fifth finger.
"Then the least risky option is to leave the continent and look around on an uninhabited island like Kas and hang out there.
Rodcorte's arrogance and neglect, and the struggle between Vida and Arda overlapped, and he was lucky enough to be resurrected. You will not be at risk of fighting your hatreds with a complete resurrection and revenge. '
Gudranis is currently in a progressive form and has a terrible magical power, but he has no magical power when all souls and bodies are in line. There is no demon king army that once followed, no monsters that are hand pieces, and the surroundings are full of enemies. And in front of you is a vandaloo that can crush and eat your soul.
Avoiding a fight is a realistic judgement.
"So ... they'll kill you all here! !
But in the first place Gudranis was not a “realistic” judge. A fist made by bending all five fingers, the death attribute magic is put together and separated, and thrown towards Vandalu.
"I thought it would be ...?"
Vandalu, who caught the black fist with his claws, answered a bit confused that the power was greater than expected.
"Because he was openly showing his malice to us, and he just became more killed."
"Don't let it pass! No matter how you answer me, I would have destroyed me in the end!
A new wrist grew on the arm from which the fist was separated. In addition, the venomous air cannon is exhaled from the [Maou's nose] that appears in the body toward the surroundings.
"no surprise. If you give it a minute and give it time, you just increase the number of demons and attack it. ''
While saying so, Darussia offsets the air cannon with attack magic.
"That's right! But by any means, by the time we were ready, we could only imagine that your strength was greater than now!
"While we were stupid about us, what we are doing is the same as Rokudo!"
"Do you think it will change! ? Kill you and get back your [fragment] from Vandalu! Recover my soul from Arda and Rhodocorte!
"Uoooooo! Let's release Edgar's soul!"
Gudulanis swung his arms away from Kanako's water-based magic, and Heinz, holding a holy sword, rushed from behind.
"[Shunki Seien]!"
Heinz tried to dig down Gudranis' flank with faster swords than he did when fighting Vandaloo, but the attack was read.
"Hello! Do you take in Edgar's soul? You can understand your movements!
Then, she runs a glance. Gudranis was aware. In this place, there is something other than Heinz and others who cannot be said to be a friend of Vandaloo.
"Well, how about my movement?
Randolph's countless sword fights fly in the sky, hitting Gudranis's body, but cannot stop his movement if it is not working.
"Human taste! Does your sword, which is not a brave one, work? Let's break the seal!
Gudranis glowed a black ray of light from his back. "He" who could not avoid it shouted involuntarily.
"Giya aa ah ... ah? Puff, the seal is ... it can be broken! ?
"Revez !?"
"Guiyii?
Revezfor, struck by the black ray, screamed for a moment and screamed in pain, and the huge Wyvern body expanded and deformed at tremendous speed.
Then came the dragon, a snake-like long body with a crocodile-like head, a short but claw-grown leg with a fin, and a dragon with both water and earth attributes, with skin wings. It was Rivezfor, "The Violent Dragon God". …… Because the wounds received from Vandaloo and the people of The Violent Storm before being sealed in my body remain unhealed, it is painful.
"O, oh, my true form, true body ...!" ?
"Now, let's clear the sealed anger and grudge, Revezfor! Let's add to my hand again how it works!
Gudlanis noticed Levezfor, who was sealed in the appearance of Wyvern, and guessed that he did not really follow Vandalou.
He once thought that if he had betrayed the gods of this world and had come down to himself, he would go down again. The betrayer is to betray not only once but twice and three times.
"... Needless to say!
Levezfol exhilarated at the glance and his eyes, and exhaled to breathe. The breath of a true dragon, not a dragon breed, which did not spit while sealed. Even if you are injured, the terrible power that can be erased whether it is a castle or a city if you hit directly converges.
"Revez!"
He called him, nicknamed Pauvina.
"Do it!"
"Wish! Die, fucking demon king!
And Levezfor slammed his anger at Gudranis.
"What, what! ?
Surprisingly, Gudranis tried to prevent the breath with a magical shield, but the shield was crushed by the black lightning strike of Vandaloo.
"Hello, you! ? Poooooooooooooo !
The appearance of Gudulanis, who was suddenly caught many times, disappeared in the torrent.
