The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 45 (1/2)

After breaking Sercrent’s soul and having his dinosaur Zoain Experience Points, Vandalieu brought Eleanora to the dining hall

He did this so that he could gather all of the important people here to listen to what Eleanora had to say

「I’m terribly sorry!」(Tarea)

The one apologizing while kneeling on the floor was not Eleanora, but Tarea

「To think that I was charmed so easily, spilled all of Van-sama’s secrets and then carelessly went to sleep! How can I apologize for such a thing…?」(Tarea)

「No, please don’t worry about it」(Vandalieu)

Vandalieu had panicked after Eleanora told hi that she had fallen asleep on a stone floor in the middle of winter, she seemed quite healthy Vandalieu didn’t think any more of the incident than that, so he felt that Tarea didn’t need to apologize so fervently

「It could not be helped, Tarea Even if you had high levels in skills such as【Status Effect Resistance】and【Magic Resistance】, you would likely have been unable to resist the Demon Eyes」(Zadiris)

「And if you apologize any more than that, you’ll only cause trouble for Van」(Basdia)

「Uu, thank you very s turned out this way?」(Tarea)

Tarea directed this question at Vandalieu, as sitting right next to her The two of thele titan-sized chair Not only could they hear each other breathing, their bodies were in contact

「I heard that you orrying about how there was distance betweenthat distance to zero」(Vandalieu)

「W-who did you hear such a thing from?!」(Tarea)

「Eleanora」(Vandalieu)

「UWAAAAH! What does this wos so freely?!」(Tarea)

「Tarea, Tarea, your tone is beco unpleasant And do not squir the boy」(Zadiris)

As Tarea hadthat Vandalieu had been told everything she had said before she lost consciousness, her elbow had inflicted considerable dae to him

「So why is this woman here?!」(Tarea)

After quick recovery, Tarea glared at Eleanora She see not at Eleanora’s face, but at a spot below Eleanora’s neck, see Demon Eyes』

Eleanora sat quietly in her chair Her hands and legs weren’t bound, nor had she been gagged or blindfolded It seeht fly away and escape if they tried to place such restrictions on her

「I a I know, of course」(Eleanora)

For so -sa as if she were his vassal

Trying to stop her after those events was difficult

Eleanora had praised the Goddess Vida despite Vandalieu having told her it wasn’t necessary, and after that, she had kissed his hand and sworn loyalty to hione on to kiss his feet

On top of that, Eleanora addressed him with an incredibly for her to return to her original, infor She had said,「I would never dare to」, and Vandalieu had onlyher that this was an order, gesturing with his hand by for a fist

For some reason, she had made an expression that made it impossible tell whether she was scared or happy

『Umm, can we have a discussion of what comes next after we listen to what Eleanora-san has to say? I woke up to find that lots of things have happened, so I still don’t knohat’s going on』(Darcia)

『These are Darcia-saestion?』(Sam)

Sae inside the royal castle’s dining hall, relayed Darcia’s words And then Eleanora began to speak about the reason she and the other Vampires had come here, and what the Vampires orshi+pped the【Evil God of Joyful Life】, Hihiryushukaka, had done to Darcia and Vandalieu

Incidentally, Eleanora, Sercrent and their subordinates hadn’t been haunted by the spirits of those they had killed up until now because they had preemptively poured holy water over their entire bodies numerous times As an anti-【Spiritualist】method, they had endured full-body burns in order to prevent any spirits fro Vandalieu of their whereabouts

It was a very effective ainst Vandalieu, but quite a radical approach

「Things are on a ht」(Vandalieu)

Vandalieu sighed as he listened The Vampires who had killed his father Valen had never becoained hiss towards them

They had been hiding their existence behind High Priest Gordan and Heinz, after all

The Mirg shi+eld-nation was a nation of the Amid Empire that worshi+pped his enemy, the God of Law and Fate Alda He had never even dreareater power

If they were going to advocate that Vampires were evil, they should have at least prevented Va control over them

「Well, the Mirg shi+eld-nation and Ain with」(Vandalieu)

『The truth appears to be stranger than fiction』(Sam)

It was a truth that shocked even Sa shi+eld-nation

The Pure-breed Vampires, Birkyne, Ternecia and Gubamon The noble-born and Subordinate Vampires who served them And Marshal Thomas Palpapek

Even though Vandalieu had destroyed one enemy, it was as if his enemies had explosively increased in number

『And they were even involved in the o hundred years ago?! You guys instigated that?!』(Borkus)

On top of that, the Vampires orshi+pped the【Evil God of Joyful Life】were considerably malicious They had apparently been behind the war in which the Mirg shi+eld-nation destroyed Talosheim

nobody could blae from his entire body

「I-I hadn’t been born at that time, so I don’t know the details! But I’ve heard that Gubamon used the war to have his subordinates collect the dead bodies of Talosheim’s heroes」(Eleanora)

Eleanora spoke hastily, perhaps scared of Borkus

The rough outline of the teachings of Hihiryushukaka, the【Evil God of Joyful Life】, was that in this world, there were those who had their lives toyed around with and those who toyed with others’ lives By toying with others’ lives, one could beco

With the divine protection of such a God, it was apparently possible to tame Undead ould normally be impossible to tame… or at least create Undead and turn them into servants

And one of the three people who had attained that evil God’s divine protection, the Pure-breed Va the dead bodies of those praised as heroes into Undead and adding them to his collection

That hy he sent his subordinates into wars and large-scale monster hunts in which heroes lost their lives in order to retrieve the heroes’ bodies

He had dispatched his subordinates in the o hundred years ago, too

『I see, so that’s why Jeena and Zandia-jouchan’s bodies aren’t here anymore But why didn’t they take my body?』(Borkus)

「Perhaps because your body was terribly daic sword broken, it would not be strange to think that they would have thought you would not be a powerful asset even after beco an Undead」(Nuaza)

『Nuaza, are you trying to say that I’m not a powerful asset?』(Borkus)

「It is not ht have thought this way!」(Nuaza)

「This is just so I overheard, but… Apparently the other bodies were carried out first because yours was terribly daed, and then Mikhail returned before your body could be taken」(Eleanora)

And then Mikhail and the Vampires who had encountered each other had apparently done battle It was likely that the Vaht that Gubamon would reward them if they simply killed Mikhail, who had wounds all over his body and had lost his precious spear, and then retrieved Borkus’s body afterwards

However, as an adventurer as said to be destined to become S-class, Mikhail was powerful even without the spear that was the origin of his title He succeeded in repelling the Vampires However, as a result of the Sta so, his wounds deteriorated and were treated too late, causing him to perish

『To think that soht next to uess he set up that ice so that the Vaet inside』(Borkus)

What had finished Mikhail off wasn’t the Dragon Golem that had been carefully crafted by the Goddess, but the Vampires who had come to retrieve Borkus’s body It was quite the questionable story

「But it seeon Golem」(Vandalieu)

『Alright, kid We’ll pillage them, take back the ladies from that Gubamon Vampire! A man becomes an adult for the first time when he steals a woman from another!』(Borkus)

「Ah, but what about Eleanora-san? Doesn’t this mean I’ve stolen her from the Vampire called Birkyne?」(Vandalieu)

『This one doesn’t count!』(Borkus)

「Eh… Well, he is someone I want to destroy in the future, but please wait a decade or two」(Vandalieu)

I don’t like situations where love is stolen Whether I would be on the stealing side or having love stolen from me No, it’s questionable as to whether this falls under the category of stolen love in the first place

Still, nodeadly battle with the Va the【Evil God of Joyful Life】They were a group that was even h Priest Gordan and Heinz in order for him to survive and live a happy life

Since they were Vampires, they were i up with plans forever until Vandalieu died

Because of this, he felt no opposition to retrieving Jeena and Zandia’s corpses and turning the them aas the obvious choice, but…

「Also, can you stop trying to put me on a throne?」(Vandalieu)

For so to marry Vandalieu to Zandia, who had been second in line to the throne while alive, and place him on Talosheim’s throne

『What, you’re already a King, right? What’s the problem?』(Borkus)

「The boy doesn’t knohen to give up」(Zadiris)

『Well, perhaps it can be considered practice for beco a nobleman?』(Sam)

『Bocchan, there’s no need to worry You don’t need knowledge about laws and taxes; you’re not taxing anyone now, are you?』(Saria)

『Talosheiht now, so it’ll be 』(Rita)

「You ain a new title and er, you know?」(Basdia)

The thing that waswas that everyone other than Vandalieu seeree on the idea

『Uainst it He is just holding himself back because of the First Princess and her descendants in the Orbaudom』(Darcia)

Darcia relayed her son’s thoughts in his place

It was possible that the First Princess who had escaped to the Orbaudom and her descendants would make a claie Vandalieu had ht that Eleanora was a spy who had codom for this very purpose

The war had taken place two hundred years ago With the titans’ lifespans of three hundred years, the sa it close, but there was still a chance that she was alive

If that were the case, if Vandalieu sat on Talosheim’s throne for even a moment, it would become very troublesome

「Wouldn't Princess Levia and her descendants praise the Holy Son who restored Talosheiive up the throne? After all, the Holy Son has restored Talosheim’s castle, walls and cityscape to its past splendor」(Nuaza)

As Nuaza said, these things could all be called Vandalieu’s achieveh the removal of the trees and extermination of the monsters had been carried out by the Undead titans and Ghouls, it was his【Golem Transmutation】skill that had restored the city’s structures

Even if the First Princess and her descendants had returned to Talosheim, without Vandalieu, it would have taken decades of tiinable amount of labor and an equivalent amount of funds to return the city to normal Vandalieu had rebuilt the city, so this wouldn’t be necessary

「But I don’t think they’ll hand over the throne And no ood a person the princess is, the people of the Orbaudom will have their own expectations of her」(Vandalieu)

It was even possible that assassins would be sent to kill Vandalieu In the worst-case scenario, an exterht be dispatched

Other than the Dha in Talosheinized as people There would be no legal repercussions if the Orbaudom forcibly removed them and occupied the city

「So because of that, I can’t do anything careless while we still don’t kno the Orbauht about this earlier Froainst not only monsters, but people as well」(Vandalieu)

Only while they didn’t kno the Orbaudo Talosheireat effort to obtain and arrange, a place for everyone to live He wouldn’t siive that away

There was a piece ofDarcia underground as well Even the Orbaudom would become his enemies if they were to try and steal it from him

「Now then, I think we should get to discussing plans to deal with various things」(Vandalieu)

「Van-sa to do with this woman!」(Tarea)

Tarea interrupted Vandalieu as she pointed a finger at Eleanora It seereat humiliation because of the fact that she had beenDemon Eyes』

But Eleanora turned her gaze towards Tarea without le eyebrow, and Tarea lowered her head

「I aht」(Eleanora)

「Eh?! You are apologizing willingly?!」(Tarea)

「Of course I am the one at fault, after all I simply do not want to beco than anything Terrifying enough that if I have to cast away my pride as a noble-born Vampire to avoid it, then so be it」(Eleanora)

As Tarea expressed surprise at Eleanora’s apology, Eleanora sy

After destroying Sercrent’s soul, Vandalieu had briefly spoken to Eleanora and the spirits of the Subordinate Vampires

And then Vandalieu had broken and destroyed all of the Subordinate Vampires’ souls

It was not because they had tried to take Vandalieu’s life He did that because they had directly ended the life of his father Valen, and because they had tried to kill Tarea

The reason Eleanora was sitting here unrestrained and unharmed was because Vandalieu had decided that she was not an enemy

She wasn’t involved with Valen’s death Though she had initially come to kill Vandalieu, she had lost the will to do so before she could attempt it, and she had stopped the Subordinate Vampire who tried to kill Tarea With those three points in ed that she wasn’t his enemy

「Us about me? The Goddess’s divine protection and all that was just a 」(Vandalieu)

「No, in a way, you possess a power even more fearsome than that of the Gods」(Eleanora)

This was Eleanora’s response to Vandalieu’s question

「Destroying a soul is so was capable of Even the【Evil God of Joyful Life】could not do such a thing, let alone my previous master」(Eleanora)

『I heard about things like that when I was a kid as well, but… Well, that’s why I was surprised when you destroyed that guy’s soul My body froze unconsciously I suppose that’s what you call rigor mortis』(Borkus)

Leaving Borkus’s joke aside…

There are none in La souls The reason for this is that the circle of transration for people is the domain of Rodcorte, not one of the Gods who exist in Lambda

Rodcorte is the God who governs the circle of trans Earth, Origin and Lambda

That is why no God or evil God, no matter hoerful, can destroy a soul No ruesome torture so manner in which they may die, no matter how many hundreds or even thousands of years their souls are bound for, they will find their way back to Rodcorte eventually And then they will be reborn as a new life-form

Including Eleanora, the people of Lambda are unaware of Rodcorte’s existence But everyone believes in the circle of transration

Because the circle of trans, the people have hope after death One day they will be reborn and walk a new life

As long as the soul is safe, there is a chance that one will be chosen to be a God’s follower after death Many heroes and great individuals have been chosen in this way to become subordinate Gods and followers, and their deeds are praised even after their deaths

And as long as the soul is intact, there is hope that the God they folloill revive them

The thing that denies all of that hope is the destruction of the soul

The only one who has been able to do that up until noas the De, and it was this power to destroy souls that made the Gods fear him and evil Gods obey him

「So now that the Deone, you are the one with the most fearsome power in this world Neither Birkyne nor Hihiryushukaka can even compare to you That’s why I don’t want to be your enemy」(Eleanora)

Eleanora was and always had been a slave of fear

Her parents who had ruled her through fear sold her as a slave, and the slave merchant who purchased her saw no value in her body that was thin and dark-colored back then He treated her roughly without caring if he caused her injuries, and the ht her after that treated her like an expiring product that should be exploited to its fullest
