The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 47 (1/2)
The bathhouse was currently the only functional facility in the royal castle of Talosheiovernment, this was the only facility of any use
「That was a good bath~」(Ghoul woman)
「The ood too, weren’t they?」(Ghoul woman)
「Really? I found the『Jacuzzi』thing that made bubbles come out to be better」(Ghoul woman)
The Ghouls who had only ever bathed in cold water before co themselves in hot water There were some Golem products that Vandalieu had come up with, but the hot baths see after all
「Oh yes, have you heard? The ru’s bedroom every day recently」(Ghoul woman)
「I’ve heard about it, but doesn’t he just want her co is only four years old, after all I’ve heard that he gets lonely easily, too And she’s not the chief anyht?」(Ghoul woman)
「That’s right, but I’ her Chief –」(Ghoul woman)
As the two Ghoul wo their conversation, Tarea, the subject of their discussion, ran across in front of them
「Huh? Foreman –」(Ghoul woman)
Immediately afterwards, Vandalieu passed across the silently using all four limbs
「」(Ghoul woman)
As the two of the were rendered speechless at the sight of the Ghoul King, Tarea came back She had been captured by Vandalieu
「Nooooooooo! Please let ht!」(Tarea)
「No, no, we have to test the catapults’ firing tomorrow, so let’s do ten more today」(Vandalieu)
Vandalieu walked away, holding the teary-eyed Tarea in the air with【Telekinesis】Watching hiain
「It’s not because he’s lonely?」(Ghoul woman)
Vandalieu was next to Tarea, as lying in an unladylike, spread-eagle position while breathing wildly
「The【Youth Transformation】will be complete in a few more days Let’s do our best」(Vandalieu)
「Hauu…」(Tarea)
Seee sound
Tarea had experienced s in the past, but the【Youth Transformation】caused sensations she had never felt before to run through her entire body The unpleasant feeling of so around inside her body, and the pleasure of having her entire bodyher muscle tension to vanish
She was in an incoy, but at the same time, it felt as if she had just run a marathon
The fact that she had learned a secret that was only between Vandalieu and Zadiris up until now s for Tarea, but…
「Uu, it’s true that I don’t get tired easily, run out of breath or get blurry eyes anyer hurts, but…」(Tarea)
Tarea’s aging had progressed further than Vandalieu had initially thought As to be expected of someone over two hundred and sixty years old
「Should we reverse another ten years of age?」(Vandalieu)
「Hyih?! Let ht!」(Tarea)
The Pure-breed Vaether once every fewplaces for the Vampires orshi+pped Hihiryushukaka, the【Evil God of Joyful Life】So that hadn’t happened for tens of thousands of years was taking place
A crooked seven-pointed star had been drawn on the floor using special, freshly-drained blood The three Pure-breed Vampires raised their ar their hands into fists
「I, Ternecia, pour my sacred blood」(Ternecia)
A drop of blood fell fro like those of a child about to open a box containing a present
「I, Gubamon, pour my sacred blood」(Gubamon)
Gubamon, an old e eyes A drop of blood fell froers as well
His unknown desires were showing unpleasantly in his eyes
「I, Birkyne, pour my sacred blood」(Birkyne)
And then red blood also fell from Birkyne’s white hand His eyes were oentlehtly, as if he were enduring so unpleasant
These three Pure-breed Va to carry out a task was so that had not happened in tens of thousands of years
A single Pure-breed Vah power to defeat a party of adventurers made up of superhuman A-class adventurers alone
As well as acting as the rulers of this Vampire community, they had received the divine protection of Hihiryushukaka, the【Evil God of Joyful Life】, and were equivalent to being his subordinate Gods
Just what kind of ritual were they carrying out?
「… Hmm, it seems that the ritual has failed That damn Sercrent, has he betrayed us?」(Gubamon)
Gubamon looked at the seven-pointed star that showed no response whatsoever and raised the ends of his lips in a ss
「Well then, next is Eleanora Get on with it」(Ternecia)
「… Yes」(Birkyne)
As Ternecia pressed Birkyne to perform the next step, he took an unconscious child fro nearby and cut off its head, using the side of his hand as a blade
Blood gushed onto the floor, glowingaround as if alive to form another seven-pointed star
The three of theave a drop of their blood as they had done earlier
However, the result was the sa happened
「It seems that Eleanora has betrayed us as well」(Ternecia)
「Kukuku, if they were dead, they would have been revived here as Undead, after all」(Gubamon)
This ritual was one that summoned the souls of dead noble-born Vampires and resurrected them as Undead
It required the decapitation of a child born to a woman who had only ever known one man, and all three of the Pure-breed Vampires needed to contribute a drop of their own blood to the seven-pointed triangle draith that child’s blood Even though this ritual would revive a noble-born Va Undead would be vastly weaker than the live Vampire, so it was hardly worth the trouble
The reason this ritual was being carried out was because a o
【Slay the Dhampir born between the Subordinate Vampire Valen and the Dark Elf Darcia】
That was the divine iven to the Pure-breed Vampires by Hihiryushukaka, the【Evil God of Joyful Life】
They had given the task of slaying the Dhao As Vampires’ sense of tiht that perhaps Sercrent and Eleanora were having some difficulty with the task, so it hadn’t really occurred to theate the situation
As the problematic Pure-breed Vans of et impatient about, either
However, things changed when the evil God sent the divine iven the Pure-breed Vampires his divine protection, it was unusual for hie
The evil God had given thenificant enough event that even Gubas, had stopped ad his collection to come out here
They had then tried to contact Eleanora and the others who had been sent to slay the Dhampir, but it was already too late
That hy this ritual had been carried out If they had killed the Dhampir but lost their lives in the process, they would be revived as Undead and be able to report the fact
It they could not be revived, it would be clear that they had betrayed the Vampires
「It see this Dhampir Perhaps he has captured his would-be assassins alive and is now tor them, but either way, they have failed」(Ternecia)
「Sercrent was not a particularly excellent individual, but he was still a moderately useful man If the Dhampir has made him betray us, he must possess a considerable amount of power」(Gubamon)
Gubamon nodded in response to Ternecia’s words, excited about the fact that his subordinate ht have betrayed hi that forced Sercrent to obey him even if it made his own parent and every noble-born and Subordinate Vah to convince Sercrent that doing so was the better choice
「Fuhaha! The corpse of such a Dha that I would like to acquire! I cannot help but be excited by thoughts of what kind of Undead I will turn him into! Kyiihihihihihihi!」(Gubamon)
For Gubamon, who had made it his life’s hobby to collect the corpses of heroes and use them to create Undead, it appeared that the【Evil God of Joyful Life】had given him an indication as to which corpse should be added to his collection next
A Dhaerous that the evil God personally wished for his demise Wouldn’t that be an even more valuable addition than some A-class adventurer? It was unclear as to what erous, or perhaps he had siht Hihiryushukaka’s attention
「Do your best then I’m not really interested – no, I a hundreds of Ghouls, wasn’t he? Making Undead fro」(Ternecia)
Ternecia was also interested in creating Undead, but she did so to create works of art Unlike Gubath and fame of the materials used to create the Undead
The theme of her creations in the past few centuries had been「Families」, so she had no interest in a Dhampir whose father had already been disposed of and whose mother had been burned at the stake But it was possible that the gray-brown skin of the Ghouls would look attractive once they were turned into Undead
That hat her twisted inspiration hispering to her
And as for Birkyne…
「shi+t…」(Birkyne)
He quietly whispered a single word
Hearing a word that Birkyne wouldn’t utter with his usual de by with ees in their hands opened their eyes wide in surprise
「Birkyne-sayih?!」(Vampire)
Birkyne unconsciously seized the head of the noble-born Va」into the air
「Birkyne-saeh?!」(Vampire)
Birkyne swung the panicking「thing」around wildly
「damn IIIIIIIT! MY ELEANORA! MY TOY THAT I CHOSE FROM AMONG DOZENS OF HUMANS! HE STOLE HER FROM MEEEEEEE! THAT ACCURSED DHAMPIIIIR!」(Birkyne)
Being shaken in every direction, the「thing」in his hand struck the floor and walls nu various pieces to break off and scatter everywhere
「I WAS GOING TO TOY WITH HER FOR CENTURIES TO COOOOME! I WAS GOING TO CONVINCE HER THAT SHE WAS SPECIAL, MAKE HER CONCEITED AND THEN BREAK HER BY ScrapING OFF HER FLESH PIECE BY PIIIIEEECE! HOW UNFAIR OF HIM TO TAKE HER FROM ME BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE GOOD PART! THAT damnED, ACCURSED, UNFORGIVABLE DHAMPIIIIIIR!」(Birkyne)
「W-what?! Hyih! Birkyne-sama?!」(Vampire)
「Please stop, Birkyne-sama! What is the – Gehoh!」(Vampire)
「HYIIIIIH! Birkyne-saone mad! Run away, run awaaaay!」(Vampire)
「NOOOOOOO!」(Vampire)
Birkyne went into a frenzy with disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes and a foa mouth
His appearance was no longer that of a young noblery beast, but that of a broken madman
He swung his fist wildly, destroying a pillar that had barely avoided destruction up until now, and then stopped, breathing heavily with his shoulders heaving
「Haah… haah… fuuh」(Birkyne)
He looked up into the sky to see the beautiful, blue-white glow of thestars that accompanied it
As Birkyne threay the「thing」… the head of the noble-born Vah state to make it impossible to tell whether it was even a man or a wo had happened
「So that brings up the question of ill do next, Ternecia Do you have any ideas?」(Birkyne)
He took a silk handkerchief from his breast pocket, cleaned his mouth and hands with it and quickly adjusted his hair with his fingers
「Ah, you’re back It didn’t last very long this time, did it?」(Ternecia)
「The last ti whether Ternecia and I needed to stop you」(Gubamon)
「Fufu, ies」(Birkyne)
Birkyne had cos were in a pitiful state
Thechae mansion of a nobleman had now turned into a hly a meter wide around Gubamon and Ternecia
Blood and severed liround
Half of the noble-born Vampires and the majority of the Subordinate Vampires had been turned into silent corpses
「Well, it’s fine I thought that this would happen, so I didn’t bringother than some Subordinate Vampires to fill the numbers」(Ternecia)
「Kakaka, well done! But all of my noble-born Vampires were present today!」(Gubamon)
「I have done a terrible thing How many of them did I crush?」(Birkyne)
