The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 385: A Hand of Truly Evil God

Those who felt the impending duel with the Arda forces were in addition to the Vandalou Da Vidal Demon Empire, the Duke of Birgit and the Duke of Hartner, whose territory was bordered by the Duke of Fazon.

"I wonder if the war is near. Michael... no, Miles, I haven't seen you much lately."

"Oh, it's quiet on Vandalou Street."

It was one of the trading cities of the Duke of Alcrem, the city of Moxie. Since the Duke of Alclém is far from the Duke of Fazon, he dispatched about a thousand elite men, including the Five Knights of Alclém, and then just sent supplies such as food and medicine, and there was no conscription.

However, Miles, the head of the Wolf Starve Guard, and the new Yatai King after Vandalou... the Yatai Egg and the sign daughter were absent from the city, and the magical girl's stage was also held less frequently.

"Oh, my God, I want this war to end and come back soon."

Edmond, who had previously tried to use Darcia, looked up at his newly built shop.

"Otherwise, the story of opening a branch to the Vi 'dar Demon Empire won't go any further. Besides, it's tough not to eat their tacos."

As a matter of fact, the war had already begun around this time, but Edmonds and the residents of the city of Moxie didn't notice until then.

And at the same time, the war in the Duke of Fazon... began what they called jihad.

"I wish this war were over soon."

It was Selene, a dampier girl protected by the Five-Color Blade, who muttered the same words as Edmond.

She has never been reunited with Heinz since she was escorted back to the Duke of Fazon by Rembrandt's Roaring Swords. At one point, I exchanged letters via vessels travelling to and from islands outside of the Bahn Gaia continent.

And she herself is worshipped as a Virgin at the Duke of Fazon's Temple of Arda.

Born in Dampier, Selene has always lived in a different environment than a normal child... but now she feels it's the most unusual of all.

I've been treated like a lady with a deep window. However, I had no experience of being worshipped every time I did something.

About a month ago, after there was a consecration to announce the start of jihad, people who saw it came hand in hand, crying, talking as it was written on the paper given in advance in front of the crowd several times, just smiling and waving their hands.

I can understand the gratitude for having a safe place to live, clothing and shelter, because my parents lived in a remote place when they were alive.

But I couldn't wipe out the confusion.

That was also true of this Jihad.

I didn't think Selene needed to fight the Vi 'dar Demon Empire… Vandalou.

(It was written in the letter that Edgar Oniichan was killed by bad demon King Gudulanis and that Heinz oniichan could not help Edgar Onihan.

And he gave back Edgar's brother.)

Selene's feelings for Vandalou are now complicated.

Not only that, he didn't do anything to us.

When he returned from Olbaum to the Duke of Fazon, Vandalu was able to kill Selene and the others if he wanted to. Perhaps we could have made it look like an accident and disposed of it without leaving any evidence behind. But he really didn't do anything.

At that time, what I felt from Vandalou, whom I met in person, was rejection. It's not hostile or malicious, and I don't want you to get too close to us. Such an attitude.

That's why she thinks it's best if Selene and the others stay away from the Vandalou.

(Oniichan's letter says that Vandalu contains the soul of the demon king Gdulanis, so he may one day be taken over by Gdulanis. That's why it says we have to defeat it....)

Is that true?

A god with a bad name, Dark Avalon, could not suppress the soul of the demon king Gudulanis. That's why Vandalou may not be able to control it.

But the Demon King Gudulanis soul fragments are sealed and protected by Arda, the god of law. At least that's how Selene grew up. Why did it come back? Doesn't that mean Arda couldn't protect the seal?

The head of the temple explained what a god called Rodocorte was like, but where did a god who had never even heard of the name Rodocorte come from?

Does that jihad Arda tells mean anything to you?

"oniichan, have you read my letter?

Selene wrote in her letter, "Let the jihad go of everything and let us all migrate to other continents and islands." It was inspired by her mistrust of the temple chiefs of the Temples of Arda and Arda and certain convictions of Vandalou.

If Heinz and the others abandoned the jihad and left the continent, Vandalu would never come after him.

And Selene was right, though not entirely sure.

He hesitated to follow Heinz when he hid away from Bellewood... far from the Vandalu sphere of power. Because his priorities change.

At least for as long as the Arda faction is alive, the Arda faction will take precedence over the non-Bellewood Heinz, as this is an imminent crisis.

And after the jihad, he'd be busy killing and chasing Heinz.

Vandalou is an Avenger, but she does not throw all her life into vengeance. For him, revenge is a means of pursuing his own happiness. For that reason, if there is anything that should take precedence over vengeance, I will take it.

After that, it depends on the situation… As long as Heinz and Delisa are being careful, they may have just kept watching for a hundred or a thousand years, from a distance, until they both die.

For Vandalu, it could be more troublesome than being the flag of jihadist. Without realizing it, Selene presented Heinz with the most unwanted options for Vandalou.

But unfortunately for her, and fortunately for Vandalou, Heinz didn't choose that option.

"Justice is in me! He therefore withdrew from our presence and disbanded the army!

"No! It makes sense to us! Retreat your troops and return to your territory!

At that time, on the border between Duke Fazon and Duke Hartner, representatives of the Duke Fazon and Duke Hartner forces and reinforcements dispatched were yelling at each other.

"... this is jihad?

"... aren't people too fluent?

"This is tradition, Mr Pauvina and Mr Luvez!

The loud voice of the mighty knight who raised the flag of each duke echoed to both armies whether he had any special skills, whether he was speaking with magic items or magic.

Pauvina and Ruvezford, who rushed the situation as reinforcements from the Vi 'dar Demon Empire, are watching with a crushing look. Yamata started singing songs because she was eating roadside grass such as lapiesage with her.

However, Reinhardt and the others somehow glanced at it.

"Dear Pauvina, that was the way of the war that began when the Olbaum kingdom was still a kingdom and a gathering of small nations!

"Yes, we fought each other's claims, we gave each other an ultimatum, and we said to other nations, 'We committed ourselves to a peaceful solution, but we had no choice but to go to war.'"

"The last thing that happened was certainly a hundred years ago. I would have avoided a war between the dukes by repeating the argument and the other dukes embarking on arbitration in the meantime."

Rheinhardt and others insist individually. According to them, it appears to be a recreation of past history.

I think history is important to Pauvina, too. I do not intend to underestimate it. It must have been the rule of war that the royal family of separate small nations became dukes of the Olbaum-elected kingdom, and that large-scale armed clashes ceased to take place.

It seems strange that there are rules in warfare, but there are dangerous monsters in the world besides humankind. If too many people die in war and their combat power is reduced, they cannot defeat the monsters, and the number of monsters increases and the area where humankind can live decreases. Then the side that won the war will also end up losing.

It's probably a trick to keep down the number of people who die to avoid it. Even Pauvina knows that much.

"But what's the point of doing it now?

What is unclear is whether or not it means doing it in the current situation. Rather than a skirmish, the Duke of Fazon VS and all the other Duke Territories are all-out wars.

"Ah... that's... nothing."

Rheinhardt couldn't follow either.

"If you're strong, we'll settle the battle on the side of the Holy Nation of Amid while we yell at each other, and maybe we'll finish before the war starts here."

But I followed Bardilla, the Knight of the Thousand Blades, sent as reinforcements from the Duke of Alcrem.

"And jihad, a divine mystery, a blessing, you won't even get the experience of war... I wonder if the Duke of Fazon's generals had no choice but to follow the old customs. The Duke of Hartner couldn't ignore it, and I wondered if the consequences would still be there."

And in the previous life, Juliana, the late sister of the Duke of Alcrem and chief of the Order, continued to do so.

She is a pseudo-reincarnated Minotaur Half and has become an obvious Vandalou subordinate, so she is not a Duke of Alcrem, but a reinforcement from the Vi 'dar Demon Empire, just like Pauvina.

Hyahn

The horse is the devil king of the Vandalu. At least it looks like a horse. The size is more than two meters long, a huge body for Juliana and her sisters.

"Van, what about the rest of the place?

The Duke of Birgit is the same here. In the Duke of Sauron's territory, we have no sign of any enemies, but we are watching as we remain alert. The same goes for Talos Heim and other countries inside the border mountains.

The battle begins on the side of Milg Shield and off the Duke of Fazon territory. "

Off the coast of the Duke of Fazon, there were fierce battles in the southern waters of the Bahn Gaia continent.

"Arrows, unleash attack magic! Wind up the barista strings! Don't let go of the attack!

"When the magic effect is about to expire, the Marines will take turns with the next one! Heal your wounds and restore your magic!

The navy, proud of its Duke of Fazon territory, has hitherto made many successes against pirates and sea monsters.

The Duke of Fazon was not insane enough to carry out a reckless maneuver of hitting the Navy from the sea into the Vi 'dar Demon Empire and turning it into a sacrificial sheep.

At the same time, I did not commit the foolishness of operating the navy on land. He patrolled the coast of the Duke of Fazon in case the Vi 'dar Demon Empire came from the sea.

We were attacked there.

Queue!

Cuooooon!

Beyond the horizon, two Krakens ran through the universe at windy speeds.

It was Tama and Gyoku who solved the Minify skill. They were ranked up to rank 12 Abysk Kraken.

This is also the result of two people having high Cooking skills in the stalls and continuing to eat part of the vandaloo while leveling in the tunnel after the sales.

"Stupid! Why is Kraken running in the air!?

This is because I acquired the Aerial Driving and High-speed Driving skills. Eggs and goats used their twelve feet dexterity and were more free to dance in the air than birds.

Sudden stop, vertical movement, instantaneous change of direction are also free. As a result, sailors and knights who can fly with Wind Attribute Magic and Magic Items cannot follow them.

"Damn, I won't hit you!

It also responded flexibly to ranged attacks. Navy archers and magicians were able to calculate how the hull would go up and down with waves and fire with high accuracy, but before they could shoot a bow or attack magic, either the balls or the goats would hit the surface with their tentacles and wave the hull.

This is also the result of a delicate cooking technique worn by simultaneously carrying out separate processes on each leg. The two names of "Yatai Egg" are not Date.

Thanks to this, the Marines can't hit balls and yokes in the middle.... even if I hit it, it wouldn't be a lot of damage for two of them with a high level of [Fast Regen] skill in Rank 12.

The Duke of Fazon's navy boasted a high level of training in the human army. A knight comparable to a Class C Adventurer and a Marine with a strength comparable to that of a knight. They would have been able to deal with ordinary threats from the sea without difficulty.

However, in front of the evil gods and sub-gods named rank 12, they are only helpless junkies who are manipulated by monsters. The Duke of Fazon's Navy cooks like food lying on an iron plate.

Besides, their opponents weren't just balls and yokes.

"Go, clear the snow!

"Chill the floating Arda followers' heads with sea water!

Armed mermaids and ocean-adapted monsters and their undead approached from the bottom of the ocean under the ship of the Duke of Fazon's navy, which was under great threat from the water.

"Now is the time to reunite! Clear the family of grudges!

Yes, the mermaids were a family of mermaids who served Maris Jaffer, the righteous and evil god of the Red South Sea, who had moved from their homeland to Gartland after being killed by the "five-colored blades" commissioned by the Duke of Fazon.

"Don't go too far, Bastian. Everybody!

The rainbow-colored Trident... Long Doraneza with her shaped transformation gear disciplines Mermaid warriors.

"But princess!

"When they die, they will be among us. Stop being a dead body! I hate the trouble of those who sew together later!

"I see, if that's the case, I understand!

Mermaids who are getting more and more morale. Had that conversation been heard, the morale of the Duke of Fazon's territorial navy would have been greatly diminished...

Cuckoo!

A ship was shattered by the tentacles of my balls, and it wasn't long ago.

Safe military ships try to move to rescue their allies and support them, but Doraneza, wearing a transformation gear and a trident cane, uses magic to manipulate the currents and flirts with Duke Fazon's navy vessels to skilfully disrupt cooperation, so she can't wait to get back on her feet.

The magicians try to counter Doraneza's magic with a number of violence, but if they try to perform attack magic, they will be smashed by balls and goats, so don't think about it.

Instead of retreating, two letters of surrender were written on the heads of each captain of the ship.

Vandalu watched the battlefields of the Amid Holy National Army and the Duke of Fazon as the trends became apparent early, through the eyes of the Enchanted King, who placed them everywhere, at the imperial castle of Talosheim.

At the same time, Arda, the god of law and life, was also watching through the eyes of believers.

It was inevitable, and he expected, that there would be many traitors among the followers of the great gods who had joined the jihadist army of the Holy Land of Amid. However, by leaving the traitors behind, Vandalu and the others felt that they would not be able to indiscriminately attack the Jihad from a distance.

The Quattro's bombing from the sky, the suicide bombing by the Demon King, and the shooting of the Phantom rays should make Peria and Bottin's followers reluctant.

In fact, it was… the Jihad are at a disadvantage because more traitors than Arda expected.

I'm still holding the trump card prepared by the Arieks, but in Arda's view, it would be tough to cut the trump card.

If we don't do this, we can't create a gap for Heinz to infiltrate Talos Heim, Vandalu's castle inside the border mountains.

At this time, Arda was mistaken.

For Vandalu, Arda thought that the Olbaum kingdom could eventually be truncated. The Vi 'dar Demon Empire, which he controls, will not be able to help him until he himself is in danger.

The misunderstanding arose because Vandalu was too identical to Gdulanis… and he was strongly determined to be evil.

Vandalou is evil. He who worships himself, because he is evil, will eventually be cut off. Otherwise, Vandalou is not evil.

Vandalou must be evil, so he must behave evil at the end.

In the dungeon of trials he once created, he saw Phantom Darcia sheltering himself from Heinz's sword.

A few months ago, I knew it was Vandalu, not Heinz, who minimized Olbaum's human damage while fighting the resurrected Gdulanis.

Above all, it is the self who does not care about those who dedicate themselves in the current form of progress.

Arda didn't understand.

Last resort. I'm going to strengthen the Vandalou for a while... but this is also to defeat him. "

Arda took some of the fragments of Gudulanis' soul in her right hand and the seal of the gods in her left hand.

And Vandalou felt signs of death coming from everywhere at the same time.

"What is that...?!?

At the same time, those who looked up at the sky at some applause everywhere witnessed something coming down from heaven. It seemed only a black shadow at first, but gradually appeared horrible.

Bugogaaaaa!? Higigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigi!?

"Hate! I hate you. Whoa, whoa! Oh, oh, oh! Death to Arda's running dog! Destroy! Even if you destroy yourself, you will be rewarded with an arrow!

On the battlefield where the Vi 'dar Demon Empire Army and the Jihad Army of the Holy Nation of Amid collided, the horns twisted and the fangs of a terrible giant pig roared and the curse of a stormy dragon echoed.

Foooooooooo!

Above the Duke of Fazon's navy, there was some loud noise from a sphere made up of huge lips and countless tentacles.

Ahahahahaha!? Hahahahahaha! Ahhhhhhhh!

Above Olbaum emerged a distorted shellfish with huge and innumerable projections bigger than the castle, and began an unexpectedly disgusting laugh.

Brave men! I'll kill all seven of you!

My children! Hurry... kill me...! I can't hold it down!

An enormous lion praying to kill himself over the boundary between the Duke of Hartner and the Duke of Fazon appeared above the Duke of Birgit.

The Duke of Jahan, the Duke of Alcrem, and the Duke of Sauron appeared in other powerful and terrible places, as well as in the sky above the Enchanted Continent and Gartland, which was not supposed to be a battlefield.

It was the evil god of the remnants of the Demon King army, planted with fragments of the soul of Demon King Gudulanis, and the vidian gods and sub-gods sealed in the battle 100,000 years ago, when the seal was lifted by Arda.

● Monster Description: Written by Abysk Kraken Lucilliano

Cooking Coolaken can be ranked up by Clarken who has acquired a high level of skill. The species ranked up from Deep Coolaken by consuming Master's flesh and blood repeatedly. Clarken, which lives in the deep sea, a region unknown to humankind, and its species name is Abis, sells yakisoba, taco grilled, and sulmelon squid cooked in the sunlight.

He also seems to be good at Protective Color , which can change the color of the body surface and blend into the background, and Shrinkage skills, which can be reduced to almost the same size as when he was a Little Kraken, but his essence is still ravaged by overwhelming mass.

The appearance of the sea running like the wind, the appearance larger than that of a sailboat that floats from underwater at a high speed, and the appearance of a variant that glows white in the darkness will freeze the spirit of those attacked with fear.

However, I usually have stalls in the Duke of Alcrem's city of Moxie. [Shrinking] I cook street food. It seems to be a little idle for the people of the city, and since they are the subordinates of the master of "Yatai King", they are familiar with it by calling it "Yatai Egg".

Of course, the two names come from bodies like balls of balls of balls of balls and goats.
