The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 23 (1/2)

It was a clear Februarybreeze

「UOOOOOH!」

A deep war cry echoed out

As Ghouls ere busy reans fro thelanced at the source of the war cry in surprise, Vigaro looked up at thesun

「O-oi, hasn’t Vigaro grown bigger?」

「It can’t be, he Ranked up?!」

Vigaro’s body that was already over two er His lion’s head was er, and thetheir flexibility

His appearance was that associated with individuals that were legendary to the Ghouls, individuals who hadn’t existed in this Devil’s Nest for several hundred years

「Berserker A Ghoul Berserker!」

Vigaro had been a Ghoul Barbarian with long years of experience as a warrior In last night’s battle, he had defeated multiple Orc Generals that were of the saher, earning hie quantity of Experience Points At the same time, the level of his skills had improved as well, so it seemed that he had met the requirements for his Rank to increase

Though it wasn’t as great as the legendary Ghoul Tyrants, the Ghouls cheered and shouted Vigaro’s name as they witnessed the birth of a Ghoul Berserker, ere said to be able to slaughter a hundred human soldiers alone

Fivere from three beautiful women

Soht be jealous of him, but if one were to voice that to him, he would likely reply,「In my profession at least, this isn’t a reward」

「Listen, boy You are indeed our leader, but that does notthe enemy’s leader」

「It’s true that I would have only been a hindrance in a fight against that noble Orc, but you didn’t have to suddenly fly out to face hiht your allies and received their support froht, then erous plan, right?」

『That’s right, I thought I was going to faint when Sam told me what happened! Vandalieu, you’re still a child who’s not even three years old; that was going too far!』

Only Vandalieu could see and hear Darcia, as scolding him the most, so Zadiris and Basdia were under the i him, however

「Yes, I’m sorry」

Making no excuses, Vandalieu sincerely apologized Looking back on it, it was indeed reckless for hian on his own; there had to have been other ways He had made Zadiris, Basdia and, most of all, Darcia worry about him

As Basdia said, if they had attacked Bugogan with everyone together froic attacks froht have been possible to render Bugogan helpless, though it would have taken some time to finish him off

This method would have worked even better if Vandalieu had applied【Deadly Poison】to the Ghouls’ arrows and throeapons, too

And though it would have been difficult to prevent Bugogan fro was probably not all that different froan to cut through his ribs, sternus

After having a night to calmly think about it, Vandalieu had come to realize that other methods had been available to him

And though Vandalieu hadn’t been aware of it at the time, he knew that he had lost his presence of mind back then

Well, that was only natural; it was his first real battle in a long tie-scale battle, too Vandalieu co hi remonstrations

『But this just sho much you care about all of the Ghouls, Vandalieu, so I will overlook it just this once But don’t do that again, okay?』

「But it’s also true that eren’t strong enough for you to have confidence in us I actually fired arrows at that noble Orc, but they were all cleared away by his ic sword That can’t even be called support; I couldn’t create any openings I’ because I’m still inexperienced」

「Indeed And thanks to you, boy, we did not suffer even a single casualty Because you distributed your Magic Itethened us with your skills, transferred your Mana to us and rendered the enes, we had been de I apologize, boy」

「 Eh?」

However, though Vandalieu had expected theave hiized in return

Vandalieu was shocked, but none of them took back their words

「Err, is that all?」

As Vandalieu asked this question, the three of them blinked in surprise

「Yes You do not wish to be scolded any further either, do you, boy?」

Zadiris and the other two seemed surprised as to why he would ask this question, and Vandalieu replied without thinking

「I don’t, but the reprier」

In Vandalieu’s past lives on Earth and in Lae

The uncle who had raised hi with a set co And since he was concerned aboutoutward appearances, he had alaited until they came back home to do so On top of that, he had never listened to Vandalieu’s side of the story or tried to understand why things had happened as they did He had never pointed out how Vandalieu should iain」, and even after repriht about how he should prevent Vandalieu fro his behavior

And the reason for his repri a burden toto have the sa kidding er and fear towards him

When his aunt had repri She would co any sense as she rambled on and on She wouldn’t stop until she was satisfied or needed to do so else The worst hen she had said,「You’veyou」, and then spent the next few hours scolding him

The teachers of his school had scolded hiht or effort into it whenever so to think about who or what had caused the trouble, it was easier for the suspiciously and dressed in old, black clothes In fact, that was how his elementary school class had been kept in order, and Vandalieu had just assumed that this was just the correct way for the school to handle things

With those lessons in his h school life, being as inconspicuous as air

And then in Origin,「being scolded」had changedpunished」

In Origin, Vandalieu had been a mere laboratory ani that needed to be trained, not educated

Fists were replaced with electrical shocks and remonstrations were replaced ords that were like knives that gouged out his lungs Of course, they had no reason to listen to Vandalieu’s complaints and the researchers always prioritized their own convenience first

Even though he obeyed all of their commands, there were times where he was punished for absurd reasons like experi hi on the floor, to test whether his Mana’s properties would change if he was subjected to extreme pain

As a result of these traumatic experiences, Vandalieu had becory at him

If it was so, someone he wanted to kill, someone he was able to kill, then that would be fine He wasn’t scared of fighting and killing But he was scared of those he couldn’t kill beco him

Of course, he hadn’t thought for a moment that Darcia, Zadiris or Basdia would act like his uncle or those researchers But even so, he had been terrified

『Vandalieu I’ you』

Darcia had a rough idea about Vandalieu’s past and what he had been through She didn’t have a physical body, but she wrapped her cold, spirit-arently

『No, it’s nothing you need to apologize for, Mom』

It was a trauma that he had from his previous lives; it would have been unfair to expect Darcia to make an effort to be cautious about it She was the first mother in this world to raise a child with memories of his previous lives, so there were no examples for her to follow

However, as the other tere unaware that Vandalieu possessed memories from his previous lives, they could only make the incorrect assumption

「Boy, I have never heard details regarding your mother」

「What kind of person was she? I mean, norry at you, Van?」

Their eyes were sy this, Vandalieu realized that they were thinking that his mother had abused him

「No, that’s not it, it wasn’t my mother This is the perfect opportunity so I’ll tell you about aro here?」

『Vandalieu, you don’t need to worry about me They can’t see me, after all』

「I do worry about it You being misunderstood makes me sad as well, Mom」

Vandalieu didn’t want Zadiris or anyone else having the wrong i to tell them about his circumstances anyway, so he decided to take this opportunity to tell the

「I see, so that’s what」

The fact that Vandalieu possessed memories from his previous life and the one before that, and the fact that he had lived those lives in other worlds The fact that a hundred people with abilities that surpassed common sense, abilities that Vandalieu didn’t have, would be reincarnating in this world in the future When Vandalieu told these facts to Zadiris and the others, they were surprised and, for some reason, they seemed to understand

It was better than the him, but Vandalieu was bewildered that they believed him so easily, so they explained why

「You are a child who possesses 100,000,000 Mana and uses death-attributethat has never existed before in this world Even considering the fact that you are a Dha such an unbelievable past actually makes this more believable」

「And you know toothat you’re not even three years old, Van That would be the case even if Sas It e is from your previous lives」

「Yeah, it’s just like those two said I have nothing more to say to that」

「 Ah, now that you mention it, that makes sense to me, too」

「Well, it is still a surprise that there will be a hundred more people like you, boy」

「A hundred people with over 100,000,000 Mana, huh」

Zadiris and Basdia looked deep in thought with grave expressions on their faces as they i adventurers or knights and es under the employment of human nations, but Vandalieu shook his head

「No, I think they will have much less Mana than me」

「What? Is that so?」

「Yes The reason I have thiselse」

Other than Vandalieu, Rodcorte had granted the one hundred reincarnated people cheat-like abilities and affinities for different attributes of ic Vandalieu’s abnormal as Rodcorte had explained that Vandalieu’s『e at it another way, this meant that the others didn’t possess this『empty frame』

Their frames had been filled with cheat-like abilities and different attributes of ic; there was no way that they could have an『empty frame』

Most of thehtly es of Lambda would have As Vandalieu said this, Zadiris and Basdia let out a sigh of relief

「I see, that is reassuring to hear」

「But still, they have cheat-like abilities, you know」

「I do not knohat exactly these『cheat-like abilities』ht be, but the fact that you have 100,000,000 Mana is already beyond the bounds of common sense, boy」

As Zadiris said, the es of this world that could be called first-rate would have htly over ten thousand Mana Even enormous monsters who could defeat A-class or S-class adventurers that were known as superhuht possess only a hundred thousand Mana

100,000,000 Mana was so that could be co that had existed in the age of the Gods

「 Is that so? Well, if I could use ht be the case」

But the owner of that Mana, Vandalieu, still only had a weak sense of how vast it really was He was unable to use fire-attribute or earth-attribute ic that was easy to make use of in battle, and since his skill with Mana Control was insufficient, he spent at least several thousands of Mana to cast one spell He didn’t feel like he could say that his oas very cheat-like

『You know, I think that it would be alright for you to have a little more confidence in yourself, Vandalieu』

「Hht cause trouble for everyone if I stay as the Ghoul King The guys who are going to be reincarnated here have only lived in worlds where huent creatures, so I don’t kno they’ll act」

The Status Screen and Skills of this world were systein They ht do in a game

No, it would be fine if they slaughtered monsters The problem was if they decided to do the sanated asfor the Ghouls eren’t even considered one of the races created by Vida

And if they were Vandalieu’s friends, then there was a real chance that they would enthusiastically start tra over the Ghouls indiscriminately, even the women and children

Thinking about it rationally, Vandalieu and the other hundred reincarnated people weren’t on hostile ter in Vandalieu’s reincarnation in Origin to be unknown to the rest of the blow as he was in an Undead state

However, after he had been finished off in Origin, Vandalieu had declared that he would slaughter them all, so he didn’t knoould happen Even if they were originally reincarnated together, if one were to be asked to be friends with someone who had shouted that he would kill them, even Vandalieu would shake his head

If Rodcorte atching Vandalieu now and knew that his desire for revenge on them had disappeared, then it would be fine, but that hope was slim

『It didn’t see a proper eye on the world of Origin that ere reincarnated into』

If Rodcorte had been watching, he could have at least sent a e to Amemiya Hiroto and the others to save Vandalieu Because he hadn’t even done that, Vandalieu expected nothing from him

And so Vandalieu thought that he should give up his title now that he had destroyed the noble Orc’s large village, but Zadiris and the others thought otherwise

「Hht indeed be the case, but those one hundred people should be reincarnated here in the order in which they die in that world called Origin, not all at once, is that not right? In that case, then we are talking about so while, and each tie nu?」

When Vandalieu had been killed in Origin, they had looked to be in their early twenties But they had been dispatched to exterminate an Undead that had appeared in the military nation’s secret laboratory; they seeerous work

So there was a chance that there were some who had made a mistake in their work and died half a year or a year after Vandalieu had

However, they had the protection of their affinity for different attributes of ood fortunes and destinies as well as their cheat-like abilities; all of the things that Vandalieu hadn’t received They wouldn’t die so easily And because of the in seemed to have been more advanced than on Earth

So unless they were killed or afflicted by serious illnesses such as cancer, they would live in Origin up until they were in their eighties or possibly even until they were over a hundred years old

It was indeed still some time away

And it was difficult to i simultaneously

「And there is nothing to suggest that all of those one hundred people will be reborn in the Amid Empire and its nations It could be that they are reborn in the country that you are intending to go to, beyond the uarantee that they will be born to human parents They could be born from the wombs of us Ghouls or one of the other races created by Vida」

「Well, that ht be the case, but」

What Zadiris was saying was reasonable, so Vandalieu had no response And then Basdia dealt the final blow

「And there are plenty of enemies that are threats to us other than those one hundred people If the humans were to dispatch B-class and A-class adventurers into this Devil’s Nest, we could be destroyed A high-Rank ht come here and build its power, just like that noble Orc Those one hundred people being reincarnated here doesn’t give us a reason to be separated from you, Vandalieu」

It was as Basdia said The Ghouls were thenation seriously dispatched high-class adventurers, they wouldn’t even be able to put up a fight

「And if you weren’t here, I don’t knoould have been able to win the battle against the Orcs Even if we did, ould still be unable to have babies and ouldn’t be able to e It doesn’tthat’s going to happen decades from now」

「W-well, that ht the be case too, but」

This was reasonable too, so Vandalieu couldn’t strongly deny it or s that threatened their existence naturally existed, so it was the obvious choice to fight to survive the threats rather than try to avoid them; prepare for them rather than live in fear of them

「And if you left us and then those one hundred people starting hunting down ardless Considering that, it would beto have you around, Van」

「?! I hadn’t thought of that!」

Vandalieu was rendered speechless in surprise The truth was that there was a high possibility of the reincarnated people hunting e scale even if Vandalieu wasn’t involved with them

After all, they were strong people, and in the world of Lambda, monsters were evil They would very likely hunt monsters to satisfy their sense of justice or siain money and fame

Vandalieu was in shock, but surprisingly it was Vigaro whose decisive opinion changed Vandalieu’s mind

「I’in with, Vandalieu」

Vigaro’s words left Vandalieu du They would have power beyond all reason; they would be so strong that one would think it unfair Those one hundred people, not even that strong?

「Of course they’re going to be strong Definitely far stronger than me」

「But they can die, right? Then you will be able to kill them」

Vigaro said this as if it was obvious, and Vandalieu reflexively began to object

「There’s no way that – ah!」

And then he suddenly realized That’s right, they could definitely die

Rodcorte had granted those one hundred people cheat-like abilities, with the exception of Vandalieu

He protected theood fortune

He guided them with a destiny

However, Rodcorte’s goal was to use these people who had died on Earth to develop the world of Lain first was to have theain experience

Things had been set up so that they would be reincarnated in Lain

It would be a problein, they would never be sent to Lambda

Therefore, aranted to them by Rodcorte, there would be none that absolutely prevented the killed

They ranted them tremendous offensive abilities, but if their defensive abilities were normal, they could be killed

They h speeds, but they would die if made ill by the【Incurable Disease】spell
