The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 66 (2/2)
“The noodles are good, but the soup is really delicious Van, how did you make this?” asked Basdia
“I took the time to slowly produce dashi+ from dinosaur bones,” said Vandalieu
The kyoukotsu ra dashi+ made from chicken bones, but with a richer flavor Incidentally, carnivorous dinosaur bones produced a peculiar flavor while herbivorous dinosaur bones produced a light aftertaste Plesiosaur bones produced a strangely fish-like flavor
TLN: 豚骨/tonkotsu isbone” which is what the kanji means 恐骨/kyoukotsu is short for 恐竜骨, “dinosaur bone”
“Bocchan, you’ve been rewarded for the hard effort and years of research!” said Saria
“Umm, I suppose it’s been around three years,” said Rita “Lye water is harder to make than a disease, isn’t it?”
“Rita, I don’t know about putting it that way,” said Vandalieu
“Bocchan, I think this ramen lacks ketchup!” said Saria
“… You ood use of it, don’t you, Saria?”
“King, what about the Tofu?”
“Braga, putting tofu in ra”
“Fugogoh, zubabababababugogoh!”
“Gorba, I have no idea what you’re saying”
There was plenty for additional helpings, but everyone was eating soto feel uneasy
“Umm, Van-sama,” said Tarea “Even if you do not do that, we can –”
“Well, this is training as well,” said Vandalieu
In the kitchen, there were several Vandalieus floating in the air, busilyramen
Vandalieu’s spirit, which had left his body with Out-of-body Experience, had split into multiple With Materialization used on both ar and Long-distance Control skills, he was doing
“The preparations have all been done, so all that’s really left to do is cooking the noodles, isn’t there?”
“And then they just need to be served in bowls”
“The sherbet for dessert is ready to be served as well”
“… Umm, it would be helpful if you could use only one person to talk,” said Eleanora
“Hmm? Eleanora, I’m just one person, you know?” said all three Vandalieus at once
Vandalieu then realized that when he orking like this, to others, it appeared that there were many of him
For hi his number of heads, however Each Vandalieu was Vandalieu, and their memories and consciousness was unified
They didn’t possess independent wills and egos, nor did they have conversations a themselves
“There are so ht for me to take one away, isn’t it?”
“No, there are limits on the distance they can be separated from me, so please don’t do that, Tarea”
Currently, a few dozen meters was the limit at which Vandalieu’s clones could behis soul This distance would probably increase if his Long-distance Control skill leveled up
It would be perfect for creating alibis in ine a future where a fierce-looking detective would say, “Since you can do this, it would have been possible for you to commit the crime” Perhaps he was just too pessimistic
“I suppose it’s time to hand out the sherbet,” said Vandalieu
“Yay, sherbet!”
“Yay!”
The youngsters, Pauvina, Bilde’s daughter Varbie and Basdia’s daughter Jadal, showed excitement as the dessert arrived
Rapiéçage showed her exciteh it was a little questionable as to whether she could be put in the saroup as the others
In any case, ti Vandalieu’s sixth summer
『The levels of the Status Effect Resistance, Strengthen Followers, Soul Break, God Slayer, Cooking, Long-distance Control, Spirit For and Materialization skills have increased!』
In Rodcorte’s personal Divine Realm, Rodcorte had just finished h he called ita look to see whether any problems had occurred
His system was so perfect that even if there were some small problems, the system would solve them on its own
Suddenly, it happened, just as he ondering whether one of the people reincarnated on Origin had died yet, and whether he should check if someone had made contact with Vandalieu in Lambda just in case
An alarration system
“What? I without any probleuished?!”
Astonished at this major incident that hadn’t occurred in over a hundred thousand years, Rodcorte quickly adjusted the system
The extinguishi+ng of even a single soul would have large effects on the syste of a soul that is supposed to be reincarnated would cause a baby to be born without a soul
It would be different from a mere stillbirth Without a soul, the baby’s brain would still function as normal and its heart would still beat It would develop, but in the process, a soul not passing through the circle of trans reincarnated on its own and causing unexpected problems
The systeuished soul in the now-empty space where it was supposed to be reincarnated However, doing that would produce another soulless baby
This would occur repeatedly, causing a serious system error
If left alone, there would be frequent cases of babies with memories of their previous lives or people born with special abilities
“Muh, there are two extinguished souls”
Rodcorte investigated the souls while taking eency measures
The soul of the human called Bormack Gordan wasn’t a problem Alda had sent a request to turn him into a heroic spirit after his death, so his soul had already been rerieve over it, but the extinguishi+ng of this soul would have no direct effect on the system
However, the extinguishi+ng of the hue to the system
“Just what has happened? Has the De been resurrected?”
Because their souls had been extinguished, Rodcorte couldn’t look at the records of Riley and Gordan With no other options, he looked at the records from those close to them
The records from the soldiers and the priest-warriors led by Gordan before they became Undead, as well as fro
And then Rodcorte arrived at an astonishi+ng truth
“This is… They became Undead And that Amamiya Hiroto, Vandalieu, was the cause of it”
Rodcorte had been aware that Undead could be er scale than he had hypothesized would be possible That alone wasn’t surprising, but…
“What is theof this? How does he possess such pohile under the effects of my curses? He is not as powerful as when he turned into an Undead in Origin, but at this rate, he ht come close to it And this amount of Mana exceeds the limit that mortals are allowed to possess”
Leaving his Experience Points aside, Rodcorte had expected that Vandalieu wouldn’t be able to gain any Jobs, but now he realized that there were large loopholes in the curses he had made
They were holes caused by Rodcorte’s lack of interest in Lambda’s systee ‘negatives’ that produced even reater ‘empty frain
But as an even greater problem than his Jobs and Mana was the fact that he had broken souls
“To think that Vandalieu would possess poith the saood…”
If Vandalieu kept breaking dozens, hundreds of souls, this alone could inflict e upon the system It wouldn’t collapse, but it would likely produce too many defects to count
If Vandalieu fell into a state of despair and broke tens of thousands of souls within a short tier happen in Lambda New infants wouldn’t be born, and it would become a world of the dead
“This requires swift action, but…”
The actions Rodcorte could take were li onto the world hi the current state of the world, he was very unsure as to whether Alda could be relied on And letting hi in would be unwise
Even if he wanted to interfere with the system directly and create Familiar Spirits directly under his control from exceptional souls, such exceptional souls were not readily available
Was there no choice but to wait for one of those reincarnated in Origin to die?
“There is no other choice… Fortunately, either there is a limit to how many souls he can break, or he has imposed some rules upon himself If that were not the case, he would have broken more souls than two by now I shall wait until soin”
“Mos if I s, the Evil God of Obscene Skin, the Evil God of Degenerate Flesh and the Evil God of Entrails,” said Vandalieu
“Uerous to make contracts with Gods like that”
“You’re right I don’t have any leads on Gods that are in charge of blood, either Well then, shall we go with a forbidden spell to create a Hoes’ Guild, so it’s still out of h”
“Umm, but it’s said that those who do that receive Alda’s divine punishment…”
“Hmm, so it comes down to the resurrection device after all But I can’t fix it yet”
Around the sa an atte Darcia’s resurrection with her

title explanation:
【Taboo Name】
When beings who possess a certain a care not to give that person a title, that person gains this title
In Vandalieu’s case, he gained this title because Alda and his subordinates, Marshukzarl, the Emperor of the Amid Eive Vandalieu a title
It doesn’t have any concrete effects, but it shows that one is feared at least on a national level, and possibly even feared by the Gods
Because of this, so this title is often interpreted as that person being an extreerous individual
When those ere being careful not to allow the bearer of this title to gain a title stop doing so, and a suitable title is given, this title disappears
