The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 48 (1/2)

Vandalieu and his companions had built their walls, solidified their defenses and prepared their weapons Undead and Golems had been successfully placed for surveillance purposes at locations where Vampires and hue

Vandalieu had personally tried stepping into the entrances of the route that had been used by Eleanora’s party and the tunnel that led to the Hartner duchy after the surveillance Golems had been placed at these locations

There had been no particular probles had been strange at the tunnel

From the outside, the tunnel looked as if it had simply caved in, but Vandalieu had used【Golem Transmutation】to turn the rubble into Goleate He had found that the inside of the tunnel had been destroyed too thoroughly

According to what he had heard froo, the First Princess Levia and the other Undead titans used this tunnel to escape and then used some hidden mechanisms to seal the tunnel But the inside of the tunnel was had been like an impossible puzzle

There hadn’t been a single large rock ae amounts of soft dirt and sand When he had tried to remove the rubble to rebuild the tunnel,from above That was the state the tunnel had been in

Vandalieu hadn’t investigated through the entire tunnel to the end but the first few hundred h the tunnel was covered by h to reach the clouds

It was as if soic to turn the boulders and hard bedrock above the tunnel into tiny grains of sand in order to make it impossible to rebuild the tunnel

With this being the case, the tunnel would remain sealed forever if Vandalieu’s【Golem Transmutation】skill didn’t exist; it would have been co shi+eld-nation aro to reconstruct the tunnel

nobody kne Princess Levia had collapsed the tunnel It was possible that the ic used to collapse it, which only Talosheim’s royal family knew about, was just that incredible However… Vandalieu found this suspicious

He wondered whether the Va to do with this

If he thought about it, the commercial trade between Taloshei but an eyesore for the Pure-breed Vampires orshi+pped the evil God and feared the Pure-breed Vaions of the Bahn Gaia continent beyond the Boundary Mountain Range

If trading had becoraphical location, the people there would have eventually started exploring the southern regions of the continent This could have caused the Va Vida to possibly make a move

That ht have been why they had chosen toshi+eld-nation withoutany movements theth of the E shi+eld-nation around then anyway, and with the Va a ould have been a simple matter

Eleanora knew nothing about this She seereat promise, but she hadn’t been in an important position in the community as a whole, and not even a decade had passed since she had even become a Vampire

Since the Vampires in the same faction that worshi+pped the evil God didn’t seeood terms with each other, it was only natural that she didn’t know

Vandalieu stopped his speculations here No ated, the truth wouldn’t be clear unless he were to talk to some person or spirit who knew about the events of two hundred years ago For now, he just needed to increase his intent to kill the Vampires orshi+pped the evil God

And the re shi+eld-nation was found

It had been covered by a large boulder, however As Vandalieu had suspected, a tunnel had been built a hundred thousand years ago on this side of the e as well

Borkus’s party had slaughtered Earth Dragons, Rock Dragons and scattered a Goblin King’s large pack to find it

The Dragon ht back as souvenirs were currently in Tarea’s hands, being processed to create equipment

With this, Vandalieu’s surveillance netas complete

And though they didn’t possess enough fighting strength to stand against the Pure-breed Va both individually and as a whole

His powerful coaro had leveled up in the past few months, but their Ranks hadn’t increased

However, prior to this, Vigaro had undergone a Job-change fro axe techniques He had apparently even acquired the【Deforestation】skill as well He had acquired it during the search for the tunnel by cutting down trees that were in the ith his axe

Nuaza had become a Rank 5 Lich

「I have finally lost the “Lesser” froer allow Borkus-dono to callwith his face that was only made of skin and bones

Braga had become a Rank 4 Black Goblin assassin, while the other Black Goblins had become Black Goblin Scouts They were quite the team of scouts

It see the path of a ninja that he had heard about from Vandalieu

Ze an Anubis Rider and an Anubis Monk respectively Zemedo had successfully taeon and becoa had apparently increased in Rank while studying an going on dates with Berg in the Church of Vida

Was this the Goddess’s blessing?

The Orcus Gorba hadn’t increased his Rank yet, but his body had grown enough for him to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the three-er and sturdier

Most ia in a forest and captured it alive Because of this, Talosheis

Everyone was beco up and i their skills

With this, unlike when they had been forced to escape the Devil’s Nest forest, they were capable of fighting

Vandalieu wanted more anti-Vampire weapons prepared if possible, but he lacked tiy for those

However, fortunately, it seemed that Pure-breed Va time had an unusually slow perception of time, so when they made a move, they would use a plan that would take years, or several months at least to carry out

Va lifespans and surrounded themselves with the company of other Vampires, so their sense of time was very different from that of humans

They often referred to events over ten years ago as,「a little while ago」

It was still unlikely that Vandalieu would be left alone for ten years, but Eleanora estimated that they would take two to five years toas there were no special reasons to act faster

And so Vandalieu decided that he should start taking action to achieve his own goals

He would acquire Vida’s legacy, the resurrection device beneath Talosheim’s royal castle, and resurrect Darcia

「I have to becoer for that as well」(Vandalieu)

In order to do that, the half-destroyed Dragon Golem that still protected it needed to be defeated But if that was all, Vandalieu wouldn’t need to becoer

He would simply need to stand at the back and support Borkus, Eleanora, Vigaro, Zadiris and the others Darcia’s resurrection was at stake, but there was no need for him to be positioned at the front

However, only Vandalieu was capable of on Goleone to melt it, he had felt a powerful response froer Sense: Death】

That was proof that the Dragon Gole to attack him the moment he tried to enter the cha to leave all of the fighting to Borkus and the others, there was a high chance that he would receive some kind of attack as soon as he opened the chamber and be killed immediately

Of course, Vandalieu had becoer than he was the first tih the wall of ice He had gone through a Job-change and leveled up His Attribute Values and his skills had increased

The【Soul Break】that he had acquired after destroying Sercrent’s soul was a particularly powerful skill

Upon careful inspection, it had turned out to be a skill that dealt dae to Vitality that Vandalieu inflicted

If he dealt daed even if their Vitality recovered immediately, so this skill would be effective to use in battles against Vaon Golee it

But even so, he still felt a powerful reaction froer

That hy he decided to resu that he had put on hold

『The Dungeon we’re going into is a C-class Dungeon It’ll be on another level froeons you’ve already been in, kid Don’t let your guard down』(Borkus)

Borkus was doing his best tohalf of his lips were raised in a smirk Vandalieu didn’t comment on this

「Yes I’h」(Vandalieu)

The Dungeon they would be clearing was Borkus’s Sub-Dragon Savannah It was a Dungeon discovered by Borkus’s ancestors, countless generations ago

TLN: I initially on Savannah due to the kanji for “sub-” and “evil” being similar (亜 and 悪) Fixed now in the previous chapter where this Dungeon was mentioned

Unlike the D-class Garan’s Valley and Doran’s Aquatic Cavern, nobody usually entered this Dungeon other than adventurers No erous for anyone other than a genuine adventurer to venture into

「That’s right, this place is really harsh There are a lot of floors and theThere aren’t many monsters that use attacks that inflict status effects or problearo)

「You have said the sa twice Are you drunk?」(Zadiris)

『But the h our Ranks increased, it’s tough for us froaro-san isn’t with us』(Saria)

『Jyuuh From the eleventh floor onwards, it was difficult battle after difficult battle』(Bone Man)

The aro and Zadiris, as well as Rita, Saria, Bone Man and Bone Bird who had becouide, they had a suitable aeon

As its naeon with many savannahs in its terrain

Some floors had forests, rivers and lakes, but they were mostly savannahs The scenery was –

「Just like in a movie」(Vandalieu)

Vandalieu whispered these words as he released a【Mana Bullet】

Dinosaurs roarass that looked like a green carpet It was as if Vandalieu had traveled back in time to the Cretaceous Period

It was a truly ht

Even as he noticed the groups of dinosaurs co to attack, Vandalieu’s sense of wonder didn’t disappear

『O~oi, if you don’t hurry and crush that Raptor… Oh, you’ve already done it』(Borkus)

As Borkus relaxed at the back and watched, one of the Raptors that had slipped through the frontline tried to attack Vandalieu, only to be turned into mincemeat by a【Mana Bullet】

Normal【Mana Bullets】weren’t this powerful; they were slower than arrows and attacks of other attributes of ic, difficult to fire in a controlled trajectory and easy to predict

It was a spell full of flaws, but Vandalieu had poured ten thousand Mana into a single bullet to release a projectile larger than himself that should have been called【Super Mana Cannon】Its sizethe shape of the Mana to alter the projectile’s trajectory

Because of this, it was even able to bring down a fast- Raptor

『I suppose the others won’t have any problems on the first floor since they’ve been in here before』(Borkus)

Though Vigaro, Zadiris, Bone Man and the others were still inexperienced in his eyes, they were slaughtering the Raptors with ease

The boss of this group of Raptors was a Rank 4 Huge Raptor that was larger andit safely

If there had been a few less Raptors, Vandalieu would likely not have had to do anything

『Well, this is where it starts』(Borkus)

The on Savannah were e reptile-type monsters such as crocodiles and turtles

It seeons and yet weren’t Dragons had been naons」by the people of Talosheim Incidentally, Wyverns and sions

Indeed, it wouldn’t be strange to think of the related to pterosaurs

TLN: The japanese word for dinosaur is 恐竜/kyouryuu, which literally on” is 亜竜/aryuu, so it’s actually fairly similar to the actual word for dinosaur

As they descended from the first floor to the second and then from the second to the third, the battles with the monsters naturally became harsher

From the fifth floor onwards, there were no Rank 3the monsters that did appear

「GYAOOOHN!」

「Oh, a tyrannosaurus rex」(Vandalieu)

An enorh to be used as tips of spears, powerful rear legs and short front legs

Probably the most well-known carnivorous dinosaur on Earth, the tyrannosaurus rex… This was an Arher Rank It was a dinosaur covered in hard scales and a carapace like an ankylosaur, but it was apparently a Rank 5 monster in Lambda

Vandalieu found it strange to think that this enoran and only as powerful as a Wyvern, but it turned out that this wasn’t so strange after all

『Jyuuh! You will beco Moon!】』(Bone Man)

Bone Man avoided the Ar movements and half-severed its neck with a slash that drew a circular path in the air

After successfully increasing his Rank when Vandalieu had added more spirits to his body, he had trained even further and become a Rank 5 Skeleton Baron His【Swordsmanshi+p】skill was level 5, while his other skills such as【Archery】and【shi+eld Technique】had reached level 4

The Armored Tyrannosaurus was supposed to be of the same Rank as him, but it was only capable of simple movements, perhaps due to its overly-active instinct to attack Bone Man perfornore the normal rules of motion as if they came naturally to him This was the difference between them

『My lord, what shall we do with this corpse?』(Bone Man)

「I already have a Tyrannosaurus Zombie, so I suppose we’ll use it for materials and food Which parts of the tyrannosaurus ain?」(Vandalieu)

『I believe it was the area around their legs』(Bone Man)

They took the Aric Stone, stripped it of its scales and carapace and then took a break as they ate the s

The mid-boss on the tenth floor was a herbivorous dinosaur

But it wasn’t the enor to see It was a ferocious triceratops that even a wild boar would flee from

「BOOOOH!」

Flashes of lightning appeared around the horn on the tip of the triceratops’s nose and the pair of horns on its forehead as it let out a roar that sounded soe

「… Hmm, as to be expected from a creature of another world」(Vandalieu)

This triceratops had undergone a fantasy-like evolution

『It is a Tri-Horn that has increased its Rank and contains wind-attribute Mana in its horns! Leave this to us!』(Saria)

『We have defeated it before!』(Rita)

Saria and Rita, the Living Arnificantly different from how they had looked before

They had increased their Ranks to becoic Bikini Armor, and finally acquired the【Spirit Form】skill

As a result, they had visible bodies instead of just being suits of armor… Bodies that were like clouds of white mist with no outline that were just barely human-shaped

Their【Spirit Forue and see wind, but their other skills had increased as well Though they were Rank 5, the two sisters could hold their own against Rank 6 enemies

The proed directly at the Tri-Horn from the front –

『KYAAAAAAH!』(Saria/Rita)

As they leapt up, their gauntlets that were still clutching their weapons, their greaves and their iron boots separated and flew into the air
