The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 33 (2/2)

Using【Golem Transmutation】like this, he couldn’t create s houses, he could only create pit dwellings; building cos like houses on Earth would be impossible

Even whenweapons, at best he would be able to haveprocess Even that was impossible unless the mold for the desired shape was already made for him

In order to become able to create s】and【Carpentry】in addition to the【Golem Transmutation】skills In fact, he had already acquired the【Carpentry】skill by 【Goleained the experience required to learn the techniques of【Carpentry】; in other words, he had actively used the【Carpentry】skill

「Well, I can remove impurities from metal like this」(Vandalieu)

The copper sword began to quiver, and dust-like particles began to fall out of it right before their eyes And then the sword of copper was shi+ning brilliantly, as if it had completely transformed

「Th-this is copper?! It shi+nes like a ge! If you are able to purify copper like this and the same can be done with iron, this is a technique that would be desired all over the world!」(Tarea)

In La the purity of a substance to a hundred percent was iy alone There were ales succeeding in doing such a thing Historically, soes had produced metal with a hundred percent purity, but only with in with Such techniques could not be used industrially

And so if Vandalieu was able to create one-hundred-percent pure iron, he would rival those skilled historical es no, there was a chance that he would surpass them

However, Vandalieu showed no signs of pride

「That 」(Vandalieu)

「Ah, it consue quantity of Mana, doesn’t it?」(Tarea)

「No, it really tires my brain out」(Vandalieu)

Vandalieu lay down and rested his forehead against Tarea’s back Feeling how hot it was, Tarea let out her voice in surprise

「A fever?! Van-sah to burn me!」(Tarea)

「This is known as a ence to force out a complicated spell, this is apparently what happens」(Vandalieu)

The Intelligence stat displayed on one’s Status governsthe amount that one’s brain can process, and the speed hich it does so If those limits are surpassed, a fever is developed, like a computer that has been overclocked

Using【Golem Transmutation】to purify copper as Vandalieu had shown Tarea didn’t consues, but for Vandalieu, who possessed a Mana pool of 100,000,000, it was a truly miniscule amount

What he was actually doing wasthe copper with the i all of the non-copper material from within it

Though earth-attribute es manipulated minerals, they were unable to increase their purity The reason for this was likely because they didn’t understand the molecular structure of metals nobody could blame them, as this was a fantasy world with no electron microscopes

However, Vandalieu understood the concept of ram of copper to a hundred percent had caused a fever intense enough to make his consciousness hazy, so the technique itself did indeed seem difficult

『Orthere’s a good way around this, but Fuh, Tarea’s back feels good』

As Vandalieu set heat-absorbing【Deainst Tarea’s back, he suddenly realized so

「Come to think of it, Tarea’s」(Vandalieu)

「Y-yes, my what?」(Tarea)

「Upper arms are thick and muscular, aren’t they?」(Vandalieu)

「That is where you want to touch?! There are plenty of other good places, you know?! If it is you, Van-sama, I would not mind if your hand were to slip a little!」(Tarea)

「Other places Your back is muscular too, isn’t it?」(Vandalieu)

Though ar hammers like blacksmiths, they still used a considerable ath That hy Tarea had more h few had noticed this due to her wearing clothes and ornaments that covered her back and upper arms to conceal it

「NOOOOO! Why are you choosing only places like that?!」(Tarea)

Tarea was covering her face in shame, but Vandalieu had only s They were powerful justice, powerful beauty, powerful muscles

Even if one didn’t have such extreme opinions, would lean muscles not be considered attractive?

「I-I don’t need any uh?!」(Tarea)

But perhaps squir around with Vandalieu on her back had been a bad idea Tarea’s hips gave an unpleasant clicking sound

「 There aren’t any problems with the bones You have a strained back」(Vandalieu)

Tarea suddenly stopped ic once more to numb her pain and cool down the affected area

Strained backs were incredible, to even render a Ghoul possessing the【Pain Resistance】skill to become half-unconscious

Incidentally, this was the first time the term『strained back』had been used in Lambda, and in the years and months to come, the terht now, nobody are of that

TLN: This is notable in japanese because the teroshi+, where “ぎっくり/gikkuri” is an onooshi+”like “clicked back”? Anyway, it sounds weird if you don’t knohat the word means

「There you are, boy So, who is this lying down like that?」(Zadiris)

「It’s Tarea; she can’t move because she injured her back」(Vandalieu)

It was in the evening, which ca Zadiris came to see Vandalieu

「She injured her back, you say? As to be expected from an elderly person」(Zadiris)

「Kyiiiiih, even though you are thirty years older than I aet a strained back yourself!」(Tarea)

「S-strained? Well, I do understand that you are cursing me」(Zadiris)

TLN: Zadiris’s reaction to the word is like this because of the above mentioned onomatopoeic sound

Though Vandalieu had numbed the pain, the injury hadn’t actually been healed, so Tarea was lying still to recover

As Zadiris looked closely, she saw that Vandalieu’s arms had fused into Tarea’s back

「 What are you doing?」(Zadiris)

「Spirit Form assimilation therapy If I turn my body into Spirit Form and fuse it with Tarea’s, she becoI could do and this is what I came up with」(Vandalieu)

「Fuh, fufufu, are you jealous? Van-sama and I have become one No, you cannot shake irl!」(Tarea)

「I a this because you show no respect for your elders Good grief」(Zadiris)

Satisfied atteased by her, Zadiris whispered into Vandalieu’s ear with a serious expression on her face

「Is it her lifespan that is in danger?」(Zadiris)

「No, she’s just old I can’t see a shadow of death, so I think she’ll be fine as long as she doesn’t push herself」(Vandalieu)

「 She will, so that is impossible」(Zadiris)

「You’re right I’ll ask her soon if she wants me to use【Youth Transformation】for her」(Vandalieu)

Tarea hurting her back twice in a rowunique to Tarea, but Vandalieu and Zadiris suspected that it ht have been overthinking it, but it would be best to reverse her age and have her beco before the shadow of death became visible

「Co?」(Vandalieu)

「H well I have becoain tomorrow」(Zadiris)

The Ghouls who had undergone Job changes had acquired『Apprentice』Jobs to begin with All kinds of『Apprentice』Jobs existed, such as『Apprentice Warrior』,『Apprentice Mage』,『Apprentice Arms Smith』and『Apprentice Maid』

As their naested, they were Apprentices, so the bonuses to their Attribute Values and skills eak However, the bonuses were spread widely over their skills, so everyone could take their own strengths and weaknesses into consideration as they trained and plan out what skills they wanted to obtain

Zadiris and the other Ghouls had increased the levels of their Apprentice jobs to their limit in the space of just a few days, but they were a special case

Humans with Apprentice Jobs were nor from this state, they would train ooden swords and spears, have practice battles, fight Rank 1Bones under the supervision of a ain Experience Points

But Ghouls were at least as strong as Rank 3 in with and already possessed numerous battle-related skills Thus, they were able to kill monsters like Needle Wolves that huhtered by, earning large quantities of Experience Points

Zadiris had joined the other Ghouls in defeatingSharks and Raptors and proe』Job

Incidentally, her level as a monster didn’t increase It seemed that Experience Points were split separately into『Job Experience Points』and『Monster Experience Points』

「I know that you are eager to try, but youfor now It should be the date we promised, your birthday, by the time Tarea’s back is healed」(Zadiris)

「Well, I don’t kno it’ll go, though」(Vandalieu)

With the【Cannot learn existing Jobs】curse, Vandalieu could not acquire a Job that had already been confirmed to exist in Lambda

He wanted to try, so he was half-full of expectations but also half-full of anxiety at the fact that he ht not be able to acquire a Job

Well, in the case of the latter, he would si the Undead and Ghouls stronger

「Auuh, Van-sama, is my back in such a bad state?」(Tarea)

Not knowing about Vandalieu’s curse, Tarea assu about her back, so he had to spend so her down

And then Vandalieu’s birthday caht to the royal castle

『Bocchan! Please just think that you’ve been tricked and put this bag over your head!』(Saria)

『Don’t forget to use the blindfold and earplugs before that, okay?』(Rita)

Vandalieu froze as Saria and Rita approached hi and a blindfold made of cloth

At first, Vandalieu thought this ekokujou, but this seemed to be a planned surprise, so he excitedly put on the blindfold on and the leather bag over his head Fro kidnapped

TLN: This is a japanese term that’s similar to rebellion/mutiny/coup d’état/betrayal where those in lower positions such as vassals overthrow the ones in the higher positions such as lords

『He’s here! I took a lot of effort in bringing these here for you!』(Borkus)

「Me too! I brought in a lot of thearo)

「Stop co with each other already e haven’t even shown him yet!」(Basdia)

After a while, things suddenly beca for hian throbbing

『Happy birthday!』

The leather bag and blindfold were re hall that had been built after Talosheidoher societies of humans

Borkus, Vigaro, Zadiris, Nuaza, Basdia, Tarea and athered in this vast place

The dining hall had once been nificent, but noas ruined, a mere shadohat it once was As if to replace the decorations and ornareat number of corpses covered in colorful feathers and scales had been lined up around it

「These are dinosaurs!」(Vandalieu)

nobody knew their exact names and they were likely very different from the dinosaurs that had once inhabited Earth, but their bone structures were easily identifiable those of dinosaurs at a glance

Corpses rese in their mouths

Corpses rese pteranodons, clearly different from birds and bats

Corpses rese on their heads

Corpses rese on their backs and spikes on their tails

Some of their horns were chipped and their bellies had been sewn shut; they weren’t unharmed But they all seemed relatively fresh

「This is our present We heard froons, Van, so everyone gathered them here」(Basdia)

「There were quite a few of theh we’ve taken out their blood and organs, since they would have rotted otherwise」(Vigaro)

It seemed that the information that Vandalieu liked dinosaurs had been leaked by Zadiris

Well, perhaps because nobody had knohat could be categorized as a dinosaur, enormous crocodile and snakecat-like carnivorous creature possessing sharp claws and teeth with scales covering its whole body were included in there as well

But this did nothing to inhibit the emotions that Vandalieu felt

「Everyone Thank you」(Vandalieu)

He wasthe monsters’ corpses all the way back froans had been taken out first The Cursed Carriages he had e had probably helped, but even so, it wouldn’t have been easy

『Vandalieu』(Darcia)

Darcia’s spirit appeared froht forward

『You know, during the ti up until now, there were a lot of ti was over Your father was killed, I was captured But you still turned three years old Thank you so er from now on, okay?』(Darcia)

Vandalieu had cried so many tears that it would be irief,

But thistears of happiness

What a pleasant feeling it was

「Thank you, Mo care of me from now on」(Vandalieu)

That hy he would live on

And he would resurrect his mother

The tears of joy that he would cry after resurrecting her would surely be pleasant as well

There was no way that he would be killed, there was no way that he would die

As for anyone standing in his way, he would kill them – and make them his allies
