The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 50 (1/2)
Note from the translator:
There are two parts to this translator’s note and I hope you can take the tih it’s a wall of text The first is to do with the changes I made to the translation style last chapter, and the second is regarding sponsored chapters and donations
Feedback to the changes introduced in the last chapter was mostly positive I’ve seen soes so I’ll address them here
So certain words that are not there in the raw text Yes, this is true, but I’ this all the tilish In japanese, subjects are often olish sentences Here’s a simple example
Literal japanese: Vandalieu stood up Raised his hand
Obviously, this makes no sense, so the simple correction is to add the pronoun “he”:
Fixed English version: Vandalieu stood up He raised his hand
This is all well and good until you realize that in japanese, there can be literally a dozen sentences or entire pages where a subject isn’t“He stood up He raised his hand” does not hen Vandalieu’s nao Thus, I insert “Vandalieu” or whatever naain to keep the subject clear Technically, this isn’t in the raw, but this information is implied
In the sa is infor into the text In the vastthe (Vandalieu) that I used to use with “said/asked/replied Vandalieu” Thisand this style lets ue itself when it’s present
In both cases, I’ any information that isn’t known, so there shouldn’t be any concern about that
The real concern then is that I need to e style to for and prefer the japanese square brackets and having the naue lines So less text overall with the old way - I realize that these changes aren’t friendly to those whose first language isn’t English, and I apologize to those people Soht novel style” But as one of the other co but an artifact of the translation process that doesn’t need to be there
I believe that the changes I her-quality English translation Overall, the strawpoll I posted in the previous chapter suggests thatshould improve over time as well
As such, this new translation style will be permanent
Now then, the second part of this long-ass translator’s note: Sponsored chapters and donations Thanks to the generous readers, there is a large nu et these chapters out for you guys to read!
I a the donation box size for this series from 60 to 80 effective immediately I’m sure this will disappoint so this for a long tith of a Kuro no Maou chapter, which is 40 per sponsored chapter Unfortunately, it’s just not sustainable for e at 60 per sponsored chapter due to the length of the chapters themselves I hope all readers and those of you who donated can understand this decision
I’d also like to take this opportunity to give a HUGE thanks to all readers for your past and ongoing support The translation of this series quite literally wouldn’t happen without you

Since Vandalieu’s【Death-Attribute Mage】Job had reached level 100 after his sixth clearing of Borkus’s Sub-Dragon Savannah, he headed for the Job-changing room in the Adventurers’ Guild for the first time in over a year
“Give me some fish sauce for this Miso as well”
“Katsuobushi+ and kombu for me”
“Is there any honey? I want some wasabi, too”
“Give me some acorn powder!”
“The Giga eggs are sold out, huh Then at least give me some eel Ammonite is fine as well!”
The Adventurers’ Guild had been turned into a place where the food that Vandalieu had invented, including the flavorings and ko distributed and traded
People would come here to receive a rationed amount, and if they wanted anyathered from the Devil’s Nests
Requests for goods had been posted on a board so that the goods in short supply would be replenished, so it appeared as if the Adventurers’ Guild had begun operating again
“If real Adventurers’ Guilds were full of Ghouls and Undead like this, going in and out would be easy,” Vandalieu said to himself
Leaving that wishful thinking aside, the Ghouls and Undead titans would be able toto trade for it, though the flavorings would be impossible for them
When asked why they caave
“Hey, hey, we get ar distributed for free and if ant ic Stones and ingredients like acorns and bring the it on our own?”
“You have to break acorns, soak the the monsters is easier”
It seemed that the Undead titans and Ghouls’ sense of manual labor was very different to that of the humans on Earth
“Well, it’s o into a Devil’s Nest and hunt an Orc than raise a pig from birth for its meat, so I understand how they feel” Vandalieu seemed to have been raised into quite the hunter himself
Incidentally, the a had increased, so he had built a special s like acorn powder and walnut sauce
He had used his Alche for drying and Decomposition to decompose the flesh of the walnuts Gole, cooking and powdering the ingredients, so there was a lane of Gole walnut sauce
Seeing the Golems shaped like mortars and other equipment at work reminded Vandalieu of factories on earth
The only fuel required was Mana, so it was very econoency, the Golee shape to participate in battle
It was a wonderful, environmentally-friendly factory that didn’t require any maintenance
“I wonder if I can industrialize the nori and agar as well If I made more labor necessary, it would create more jobs in the future… But the Ghouls and titans are hunters, so maybe I don’t need to worry? But in a few decades froed and can’t fight anymore” Vandalieu contemplated these truly complicated factors
Well, let’s leave thinking about the societal system for later on
“So, the Job-change I suppose I’ll be a Golem Transmuter now”
Vandalieu could only acquire undiscovered Jobs due to the “Cannot learn existing Jobs” curse During his previous Job-change, “Goleside “Death-Attribute Mage”
So he would definitely be able to undergo a Job-change now
He calmed himself down and coolly reached out to touch the crystal ball in the Job-changing room
『Jobs that can be selected:【Golem Transmuter】【Undead Tamer】【Soul Breaker】【Venom Fist User】【Insect User】』
“There’s a lot more…” Vandalieu whispered in astonishment at the five Jobs displayed in his head It see the three curses Rodcorte had placed on him, this one was the most pointless
Well, it will probably cause trouble for me in the future
The reason “Undead Tamer” hadn’t appeared previously is probably because I wasn’t aware that Undead can’t normally be tamed until I heard about it from Eleanora
It’s strange to think that whether the Job is displayed or not is dependent on whether I’ like that
It seems self-explanatory that this Job will provide bonuses to Undead-related skills, but many Tamer-type Jobs apparently don’t provide a lot of bonuses to Attribute Values
“Soul Breaker” is clearly a Job that has appeared because I acquired the Soul Breaker skill after destroying Sercrent’s soul
Soul Break is a skill that applies its effects to all of ive ic-related and martial-type skills?
As for its Attribute Value bonuses, I have no idea It seeh
And “Venom Fist User”… What is it? Could it be a Job that appears for so a certain level with the Unar a certain number of enemies with poison?
It see Technique, Strength, Agility and Stamina, but… it seems like the kind of Job that would make people refuse to shake hands with me
It would break my heart if people refused a handshake or wiped their hands with a handkerchief after shaking my hand
There’s no doubt that “Insect User” has appeared because I tamed the Cemetery Bees Its bonuses to skills and Attribute Values are probably the sa to insects instead of Undead
It would be a good Job if it increases the a to ta beetles so I can callof Insects that I couldn’t become on Earth
“But I’ with Golem Transmuter this time”
Because the opponent I’on Golem
There were no stories telling what kind of inorganic mineral the Goleh the ice There was a chance that the Goleainst the Golem that was made of an unknown substance
Controlling it directly would be i it was a large yet finite space There was a floor, walls and, s had been broken There was no chance that it would be able to fly freely
If I turn the floor and walls into Goleon Golem of its freedom or at least slow its movements down
Golem Transmutation was useful when I killed Sercrent and his subordinates I’ve used it to develop Golems that manufacture acorn powder and walnut sauce as well as repair Talosheim’s walls and royal castle This skill should beco my life richer

When Vandalieu checked his Status, he found that his Attribute Values hadn’t increased as e Job
Well, that’s probably just how the difference between a first Job change and a second one is
“Now then, tio below the royal castle…” Vandalieu paused and reconsidered “Before that, I need to test out my Golem Transmutation skill now that it’s leveled up, and I should ask everyone how they’re feeling now that then Followers skill has leveled up as well”
Vandalieu inspected the Golem Transmutation skill to find that it cost him less Mana than before to create Goleain, he would be able to create the paths to do so at twice the speed that he had ed the first time
In the future, Ithea tunnel… Though I won’t do it that carelessly, because it would be troublesoraphical structure, anyway
Also, his Goleer It seethen Followers】They wouldn’t be able to put up a fight against the Dragon Golem, but they would probably be useful in the future
“You really mustn’t push yourself too hard,” said Darcia “If you think it’s too dangerous, you have to run away immediately, okay?”
“That’s what I intend to do, Mom,” Vandalieu assured her
“Bocchan, e to escape when the situation calls for it”
“If the situation calls for it, I’ll open a hole in the wall and co back”
Vandalieu and his carefully-selected companions headed below the royal castle as Darcia and the others saw them off
The eneon Golem The hero who had been said to be destined to become S-class, a hero so powerful that he had killed Borkus with a single attack, had not been able to defeat this enemy
Its head, right ar all across its body and the ic spear was even still embedded in its chest But even so, this was a powerful enemy for Vandalieu and his party to face
That hy Vandalieu had only chosen those ere Rank 6 or above, those who could be revived by being placed in a new body if their current one was dae
The Rank 9 Borkus and the Rank 8 Eleanora were obvious choices Next were Zadiris and Vigaro, ere Rank 6
And then there was Bone Man, Bone Wolf, Bone Monkey, Bone Bear, Bone Bird, Saria and Rita They were still only Rank 5, but their bodies were made of bones and suits of armor Even if they were smashed into tiny pieces, they could be revived once Vandalieu prepared new bones and suits of armor
And as for meat shi+elds, or rather, stone shi+elds, Vandalieu was bringing ten Stone Gole just in case the available on Goleically altered in a way that would make them difficult to turn into Golems They would sacrifice their bodies to slow the Golem’s movements and act as shi+elds
They were an’s village, so Vandalieu intended to exploit them fully
