「Well then, first of all, can you tell ic you use and the skills you know, boy? Of course, if you do not wish to tell me, I will not press you any further」

「No, I trust you There’ll be a hundred or so guys who know about it in the future anyway」

In order to learn the basics of ic and skills was necessary for Vandalieu He would be able to receive guidance and advice based on her knowledge and experience

However, thathis Death-Attribute Magic Even noriving away infor so revealed all of one’s weaknesses

However, sharing that information with people that one trusted was not unco one’s skills a secret from party members would impede teamwork But for monsters, this may be another story

And though it was still so fro here, and all of theic

Even if by some miracle Rodcorte didn’t tell theic, there would likely be data left at the laboratory that he had been i his Death-Attribute Magic were already widely circulating in Origin At that ti been created not through Death-Attribute Magic, but independently-developed Life-Attribute Magic, but surely their true nature would have been discovered by now

Therefore, it could be assumed that Amemiya Hiroto and the others found out about Vandalieu’s Death-Attribute Magic after he died in Origin It was extremely unlikely that they wouldn’t know about it

That hy Vandalieu couldn’t see a reason to keep it a secret from someone like Zadiris, whom he trusted

「A hundred people? Well, in any case, about your ic, boy –」

Right now, Zadiris was under the iic was a special kind of Life-Attribute Magic At first, one would think that the Undead were coic, but in Lambda, the only ones who could control the Undead were Life-Attribute Mages

They forcefully poured life force into corpses, creating creatures with fake life that moved artificially Since such Undead were forced into this unnatural state, they were fundamentally weaker than Undead that appeared in Devil’s Nests and Dungeons

Zadiris had thought that Vandalieu was using a special spell that overcame these limitations, so she was rendered speechless when Vandalieu told her about his Death-Attribute Magic

「D Death attribute? A new A ninth attribute? Such a thing really exists No, I suppose it is true You actually control the Undead and cast spells that I have no knowledge about」

In Origin, the death attribute was the eighth attribute, but unlike Origin, the time attribute existed in Lambda, so that made the death attribute the ninth attribute

「So you’re surprised after all?」

「That goes without saying! Any monster that knows the potential value of a new attribute’s ic would show interest!」

For ic was a power that allowed the stood on top

nobody would kno to fight against a user of unknown spells Since the entirety of the death attribute was unknown, there would be any nuht with no reaction

Like Origin, in Laic for an attribute unless he or she possesses an affinity for that attribute That applied for monsters as well, so not all monsters would be capable of this, but there was a very real concern that e” in their race title could somehow steal the techniques

「I see The reason that adventurer e couldn’t cast spells was because of this Death-Attribute Magic」

Zadiris shuddered as she recalled how thethe adventurers who had attacked her had died As a Ghoul Mage herself, it was easy for her to ie It would be equivalent to taking away a swords him to kick his enemies to death

Thinking this, she felt a little syh it was far too late for that now

「In that case, since I only have affinities for Light and Wind-Attribute Magic, I cannot directly teach you Death-Attribute Magic, but I can help you ic is such an art that I can do this」

At first, one would assume that the fire attribute and the water attribute are opposites However, the essence of the fire attribute is heat, while the water attribute’s is in liquid and cold

Therefore, a e of the fire attribute would be able to freely increase the heat to burn so, or lower it and freeze it A master of the water attribute would be able to s, since it is a liquid

A user of the earth element would be able to manipulate mercury and lava, while a user of the wind element would be able to use the flae explosion

「Things regarding this ritten in a book that the chief showed me when I was a child」

Zadiris had gained that knowledge from books looted from adventurers Forthem from humans or other monsters, so they were hard to come by

「In other words, the i is not the number of attributes that you have an affinity for, but how much you increase your skills Of course, it is convenient to be able to use multiple attributes However, there are cases where adventurers skilful enough to cast spells of e of those attributes, are defeated by Goblin Mages that can only use the fire attribute」

「Now that you put it that way, I’ to feel motivated」

For Vandalieu, to whoin had said「you should focus only on Death-Attribute Magic and your Mana pool」, Zadiris’s teachings were refreshi+ng and a source of happiness for hian to feel passionate about it

Though there was no change to his outward appearance as he was expressionless as always

「And what is necessary for that skill is Mana The ath of time you are able to cast your spells How th of our lessons based on that」

「Ah, yes, it’s around a hundred million」

「I see, a hundred million What?!」

As Zadiris was astonished onceappearance that Vandalieu thought was adorable

「A-a hundred million Is that true? I do not even possess ten thousand, but you, boy No, considering that you are using unknown ic as well, it is not that unusual, I suppose?」

Zadiris was bewildered by the unbelievable nuiven in Vandalieu’s self-report of his Mana pool Norh this off as a poorly-told lie, but the child in front of her eyes had a persuasiveness that prevented her fro so

At the very least, that was how Zadiris felt

And in any case, Vandalieu would not benefit fro his Mana pool a little to i, but a hundred eration And since he was about to undergo lessons to learn the basics of ic, such a lie would be quickly exposed

「 Well, it is fine I will understand your Mana pool soon enough, boy」

Zadiris ed to s her surprise, with difficulty Meanwhile, Vandalieu realized fro a Mana pool of a hundred million was abnormal after all He decided not to mention it too h it would be exposed if he registered himself at a Guild

「Well then, what ic-related skills do you possess?」

「To start off, I have the【Chant Revocation】skill And the【Goleic-related skill?」

「 Boy, just howlifespan? In fact, I should ask you to teach me the basics I need to learn the【Chant Revocation】skill And I have never even heard of this【Golem Creation】」

Vandalieu had heard about how rare the Chant Revocation skill was fro as even Zadiris was surprised, despite having lived for nearly three hundred years, it seeht

However, since Zadiris seeht that she would know about his【Golem Creation】skill He had assu Alchemy, based on the fiction that he had read on Earth

TLN: The word that I initially translated to “creation” could also be translated as “transh alchemy” if you want to be more literal, so the skill’s title is alchemy-related

「Even if you want me to teach you the basics for【Chant Revocation】, all you have to do is use ic in a situation where you can’t chant to cast spells, you know?」

「The only one who can do that is you, boy, thanks to that Mana pool of yours」

In order to cast a spell without its chant whilethe same effect, dozens or even hundreds of ties would be able to perform such a feat only once a day, if at all Vandalieu was only capable of repeating this to the point of obtaining the skill because of his abnormally vast Mana pool

The only others ould be capable of obtaining the【Chant Revocation】skill nores who had endary monsters

「At this rate, it seems that I will not need to teach you the basics after all I aic Mastery】skill is perfect, is it not?」

As Zadiris spoke in a tone that sounded as if she had lost her confidence, this time it was Vandalieu’s turn to be surprised

「What is No-Attribute Magic?」

「How is it that you do not knohat it is? It is the ic!」

Zadiris was surprised again as well

As its naic that uses Mana before it has changed into any attribute Since no attributes are involved, anyone can use this es to first learn No-Attribute Magic to learn the funda one’s Mana

No-Attribute Magic is weaker than ic with an attribute, and only consists of simple spells, but since it is simple, it is also easy to learn and use

「Even ho live in the Devil’s Nest know it」

「I don’t know it because I’ht」

And the biggest reason that Vandalieu didn’t know about it was because No-Attribute Magic hadn’t existed in Origin, the world in which he had lived his previous life

Did it really not exist, or did the researchers at the laboratory deliberately not tell hihty or ninety percent, but he had no way to confirm that now Vandalieu decided to ask Hiroto and the others when they reincarnated here, if he got the chance

At the very least, the researchers had never ic to Vandalieu Their spirits likely knew, but other than answering Vandalieu’s questions, they had only talked nonsense

If Vandalieu had supplied the for Darcia now, then perhaps they could have been preserved without having their personalities collapsing, but at the time, he had been unable to use his own Mana freely

Of course, Darcia knew about No-Attribute Magic When Vandalieu asked her about it later, she told him that she had simply assumed that Vandalieu had known about it and not bothered teaching him

『You were able to useyou, Vandalieu, so I was sure that you knew about it』

So like that

「Well then, we shall start with No-Attribute Magic, I suppose It took me three years to obtain the skill; I am sure it will not even take you a year, boy With your Mana pool, you will not have any proble all day, after all」

Vigaro, leader of the Ghoul warriors, suddenly spotted a weed growing near his foot and knew that spring was co soon

For Ghouls, who didn’t use calendars or civilized agricultural techniques, seasons were nothing s that they could feel around the rain meant a rainy season; hot weather was summer; when it became a little cooler and more fruit was available than normal, it was autumn; when the air became dry and cold, it inter

And when it becaan to grow, it was spring

「It’s already been half a year since he came, huh」

Considering the nuaro had lived, half a year wasn’t a significant amount of tied in the village that Vigaro had lived in for over a hundred years

As thanks for taking care of hiic to preserve the Ghouls’ food With a spell called【Freshness Preservation】, rawstomachs couldn’t eat after several days lasted for several months

Up until now, the only preserved food the Ghouls had used were Gobu-gobu and reat convenience The Ghouls no longer had to go out to hunt every day, which meant they had more time to train themselves, and there were fewer cases of injuries as well

Well, Ghouls were a race that were sloth-like in nature, so this caused some individuals to slack off as well That was kept in check by Zadiris who had been teaching the is, and Vigaro who knew the importance of those intuitively

「And the meat that he prepares for us is incredibly delicious」

Vandalieu applied the【Maturation】spell on the raw meat that the Ghouls ate, just before it was served To produce the same effect on earth, one would have to cure the ulated temperature and humidity, but with this spell, it was possible to produce such s and a warehouse

This was nothing short of a blessing for the Ghouls

Perhaps thanks to this delicious meat, their bodies felt healthier and they soer than before

It see, but there were e

If he were an adult, they would offer him several women for his personal use, but such an offer was rather difficult to make to a child less than two years old

However, it seemed that the lessons for his skills with Zadiris would take so until summer

Vandalieu was a good person, so Vigaro wanted his studying to go well, but at the sa as possible What a cos

While Vigaro was dealing with these difficult e a powerful enemy

「WOOOOOHHHHN!」

「GAAAAH!」

「Kill the ones with the bows – no, the one with the staff first!」

Vigaro’s apprentices and their prey were engaged in a group battle

But their prey were not adventurers Vigaro and his warriors attacked adventurers less frequently than Vandalieu had iined, and adventurers didn’t come to the Devil’s Nest very often in the first place

When the current chief Zadiris was younger, there had been an incident in which two thirds of the village’s population were hunted down by a group of adventurers, so not attacking adventurers unless necessary was a law in the village If adventurers were discovered, the Ghouls hid and waited until they passed by, and only fought if the adventurers attacked them

Ghouls knew the delicious taste of adventurers’ flesh and how valuable their equipment was, but they knew even better than that just how terrifying adventurers could be

But it was unkno adventurers were dealt with by other Ghoul villages

And though Vigaro and the others were unaware of this, the reason that few adventurers came to this Devil’s Nest was because of its location

The size of this Devil’s Nest and the monsters that appeared in it was perfectly suited for D or C-class adventurers to venture into However, the nearest human toas three days’ travel away

And there was another similarly-sized Devil’s Nest only a few hours away froeons

Therefore, it was natural for the adventurers to focus on the Devil’s Nest that was closer to the town, since it even had Dungeons as well Of course, leaving this Devil’s Nest alone and allowing theproblem, but the Adventurers’ Guild had decided that the risk of that happening was low

The reason for that was that the Devil’s Nest that Vigaro and the other Ghouls lived in had es of Goblins, Kobolds, Orcs as well as Ghouls, and they often fought each other, so even if adventurers didn’t coulated their own population

That hy the humans had decided that it wasn’t necessary to come all the way out to this Devil’s Nest It was a probleularly sent out requests to survey the area So the only adventurers that ca that they could gain great profits here, since there were no competitors – such as the adventurers who had attacked Zadiris

For these reasons, the village Ghouls fought against adventurers less than once a year If one were to ask what Vigaro’s apprentices were fighting, the ansould be Kobolds

「WOOOOHHHN!」

「GRRRR!」

Kobolds were like dogs standing on two legs, a little s as huile, roup battles

They were Rank 2 on average, and the higher-rank ones had race titles like Kobold Chief, Kobold Geroni

The apprentices were fighting thirty norers and bows, four Rank 3 Kobold Chiefs ere a little larger and arle Rank 4 Kobold Mage wielding a staff

TLN: This number is actually 5 here, and then later on in the chapter it changes to 4 I think 4 is the correct number, and this is ait as 4 here

Thirteen of Vigaro’s apprentices, as well as three animals and a bird opposed the Kobolds They were at an overwhele in terms of nu the battle through quality over quantity

Despite that, it was a tough battle – were they not perfor well?

As Ghouls had a low birth rate, they couldn’t afford to carelessly lose aro was prepared to step in himself if needed, but believed that they could win in the end

His apprentices had several strengths to play to

『Halberd Technique, Single Flash!+』

The blade of a halberd sith incredible force cleanly decapitated a Kobold directly in front, as well as the one next to it

『Onee-chan, leave the right side to inata technique, Double Thrust!』

The blade of a glaive pierced through the throat and sto from the Kobold’s back

『There are a lot of the and stay calm!』

『Leave their front lines to us, and be careful not to get surrounded!』

This was the work of the Living High-Leg Ar Bikini Arht fro skills, though they were still level 1, and they were able to use their weapons

They had learned to cover their weapons in Mana and then release it upon attack,their attacks more powerful

A master would be able to use techniques to perform dozens of stabs in an instant and cut a piece of inners with level 1 skills, the『Single Flash』that wasattack and the『Double Thrust』that perfor attacks was the limit

However, it was clear froinner-level techniques were effective enough in battle

They had also beco their level This was a cause of great happiness for not only Saaro and the other Ghouls as well They had been bewildered as to how to coe, faceless suits of armor

『GOAAAAH!』

『UOOOOON!』

And Bone Monkey, Bone Wolf and Bone Bear had advanced fro Rank 3 Bone Beasts to Rank 4 Rotten Beasts
