The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 86 (2/2)

As a result, the tireless Undead and the noreons often Everyone leveled up, and until the former slaves moved into Talosheim, most citizens were about as capable as C-class adventurers in battle

“Without the Dungeons, we’d have to walk about half a day away froher,” said Basdia “I don’t want to leave Jadal alone for too long”

“Raising children is difficult, isn’t it? But this place is right inside the city, and you couldinto the first few floors, couldn’t you?” said Darcia

“Also, the trading post is close by, somaterials there won’t be too hard,” said Bilde

The three housewives were having a dangerous conversation

“Working women do need to consider the distance and reed “The next tieon, I’ll make it closer to the city… I wonder if I can dismantle Garan’s Valley and Doran’s Aquatic Caverns and rebuild them somewhere else”

“It would be convenient if you could, but I have never heard of Dungeons being moved in such a way,” said Zadiris

Luciliano gave a hollow laugh “Master appears to be very free, but I wonder who I as with”

“Jyujyujyuh, it appears that my lord’s apprentice has finally realized that superficial efforts will not make him worthy,” said Bone Man

After that, Vandalieu and his party continued through the endless Dungeon, inspecting his new skills and investigating whether the Dungeon’s products and monster materials were usable

Bloodas si skill

The a blood was dra, wounds healed faster and it seeh only by a few percent

Also, this skill was apparently quite famous; Luciliano was familiar with its details

“It is a skill that indicates that one has consuh blood for the skill to become a superior skill, and many who possess the skill are apparently assaulted by a powerful thirst for blood,” he explained “But… you are perfectly fine, aren’t you, Master?”

Due to the skill’s properties, many who possessed it were powerful Vampires, and the reason they manipulated humans in the shadoas to maintain a reliable source of blood to drink

“I can drink aswhatever monsters are available, can’t I?” said Vandalieu

The thirst for blood wasn’t soh he would have had a tough tiin, Lambda was full of threats; there were always monsters to hunt

And unlike Vains, Vandalieu didn’t care whether the blood caed man, a bandit or an Orc He didn’t have any particular preferences when it came to the taste of blood

He didn’t enjoy strong-s meat, however

“Speaking of which, what are the Va for blood?” Zadiris asked “I have not seen the blood very often”

“When they were training in the Dungeons with us, they were drinking aro told her

“They sometimes drink a little of my blood, too,” said Vandalieu “The Vampire Zombies don’t they absorb some whenever they eat raw meat?”

“I suppose I shouldn’t have asked this question in a country of Undead…”

Luciliano had been treated like an outsider in human society, but he was astounded to find that in Talosheim, he was a normal person He orried that he would lose his title of ‘Degenerate’

Next was the inspection of Vandalieu’s Insect Binding Technique, but this turned out to be simple as well

“It’s really going inside,” said Vandalieu

“Is that really alright?” Basdia asked

“There doesn’t appear to be any particular problems,” Vandalieu replied

There was a large, vividly-colored, veno its way inside his hand

“Umm, wasn’t that a Pain Worrowing all over its body,” asked Kachia

“So it seems,” said Vandalieu

“How can you be so calm about it?

Basdia and Kachia’s voices sounded a little strained as they watched the Pain Worm disappear cole wound on his white, unhealthy-looking, candle-wax-like skin

“My Vitality hasn’t gone down, either, so it does seem that there isn’t any problem with this,” said Vandalieu

“Jyuuh? Are you saying that you consumed that creature?” Bone Man asked

“No, I don’t think that’s the case,” Vandalieu replied “Look, it can come out whenever it wants to, too”

The Pain Wored froround, but Pete leapt out after it, grabbed it in his mouth and returned to Vandalieu’s hand

“It’s difficult to believe, but it see Technique is a skill that allows one to equip insects to the body,” said Basdia

“Equip insects… will they actually be useful? It’s not like you can punch enearo

“Well, that explains the mystery of why Pete settled in my hair,” said Vandalieu “As for whether they’ll be useful, they probably will be Cemetery Bees, can you enter my body in the same way?”

Showing no signs of hesitation, the Cemetery Bees silently entered Vandalieu’s body They forced themselves mercilessly into Vandalieu’s head despite their size, so it looked quite grotesque, but Vandalieu didn’t feel any discomfort or pain

And then once the Cemetery Bees were completely inside him, Vandalieu was able to control them as if they were a part of his body He could poke their heads out froers froue In the same way, he was able to produce Pete from anywhere in his body on command

“I see, so I can control any insect-type monster that I’ve ta?”

Everyone except for Vandalieu’s apprentice touched their own heads cautiously as they looked up at him

“It’s just that they were co if it’s really alright,” said Basdia

“My lord, it , it appears as if you are being consumed by the insects, jyuuh,” said Bone Man

“… I’llthis in front of people By the hat about Luciliano?”

“He’s fainted over there, but… I suppose we can’t blame him,” said Kachia

Insect Binding Technique was a skill that allowed Vandalieu to equip insects inside his body, and if those insects were tamed, then he could produce them or a part of their bodies from his own at will

But if the insects stayed equipped forthe nutrients they required from the host’s body In other words, Vandalieu had to eat a lot in order to avoid losing Vitality to them

That was the kind of skill it was

It would probably be another excellent skill for Vandalieu alongside Dead Spirit Magic

“What if I equipped the insectoid istered at the Tamers’ Guild?” Vandalieu wondered

“I am a Ghoul, so I do not know ive up on this idea,” said Zadiris

“Vandalieu, I don’t think it’s a good idea, either,” said Darcia “I’m sure you’ll shock everyone”

“It’ll be more than a shock,” said Kachia “Luciliano hasn’t even woken up yet”

“There should be relatively har somewhere, shouldn’t there?” asked Vandalieu

At the very least, it seeeon

“Are Pixies insects?” Darcia wondered

“For now, I’ insectoid monsters and equip them,” said Vandalieu “It’s probably best to test how many I can fit at the same time, too”

“Umm, try to make sure they’re cute ones, okay?” said Kachia

“I’ll see how it goes” Vandalieu nodded, but he couldn’t really iine what Kachia had in mind

What were these cute insects that Kachia mentioned? Bees and centipedes didn’t seem to fit the criteria, so woodlice, perhaps?

The focus of this expedition was the inspection of the Labyrinth Construction skill, but not all of its details could be seen immediately As Vandalieu examined this skill, more new effects revealed themselves

First, whenever Vandalieu descended to a new floor, he could see its overall layout The moment he took his first step, a map would appear over his head

He could also change the structure of floors that had already been cleared He could build walls, set traps and even create staircases connecting floors, though only when both floors had already been cleared

“Oh, there’s a wall of trees appearing right in front of us!”

“To think that you could make pitfalls and even stairs…”

“It uses up quite a lot of Mana though,” said Vandalieu “Small traps and walls cost ten thousand, and ten million for stairs that lead both up and down”

“But it’s not a lot for you, is it, Van?” asked Basdia

“That’s true”

“That’s a, Vandalieu,” said Darcia “If you used it to create walls on all sides, we could rest safely, couldn’t we?”

Depending on their layout, the walls of any Dungeon could be made of trees, cliffs, stones, bricks, unidentified ans of an enor that they all in common was that their structure couldn’t be altered artificially

The cliffs of Garan’s Valley and the minerals of Doran’s Aquatic Caverns could be temporarily broken and chipped, but they would return to normal after a few days at h it was a mystery as to who had set them

If this weren’t the case, high-class Dungeons would collapse during battles between high-Rankthe functions

Building additional walls or setting traps was i the eon, but even if one did take the effort to do these things, they would be destroyed by monsters or simply disappear eventually

Even in Dungeons that were like labyrinths with stone walls, monsters wouldn’t destroy the walls unless they happened to hit the battle But they would destroy any artificially-built walls without hesitation

Even if monsters didn’t destroy theeon’s self-repair function would cause theeon

Even though Vandalieu could use his Golem Transmutation skill to es to the structures of Dungeons

However, the walls eon itself, so it was highly likely that they would stay there

“Monsters destroyed the walls you made with Golem Transmutation, but they simply avoided and passed by the walls you made with Labyrinth Creation,” said Darcia

“Truly a, Your Majesty,” said Levia “If you can use this skill in other Dungeons, there is no telling how much easier everyone’s lives would become…”

“No, it’s not really that big a deal,” said Vandalieu, feeling shy about being praised

But the great discovery came after this

It seemed that Vandalieu and those with hieon

From the twenty-third floor to the first floor From the first floor to the seventeenth floor Whether it was the eon’s deepest floor where the boss was, they could go anywhere except for the Dungeon’s treasure chamber

And it wasn’t only the entrances to the floors that they could teleport to They could teleport to any point in a cleared floor

Even the Magic Iteh advanced Alche this

“Teleporting is interesting, isn’t it?” said Vandalieu

“I suppose this eon you have already cleared once, boy,” said Zadiris

“Yeah, I think any adventurer orks in Dungeons would want this ability,” said Kachia

With the materials, treasure and taeon

“To place the spirits around you into the soulless monsters… is this not an artificial reincarnation?” said Luciliano, tre unnaturally in shock and fear

“My lord, it see at the mouth soon Should you not have held back a little?” Bone Man suggested

Vandalieu thought that Luciliano was overreacting

In hisGole him noere important to him

“I want fruits and spices, after all,” said Vandalieu “I can’t hold back”

The Dungeon had contained all kinds of plant-typethem, there had been Ents and Monster Plants formed from trees that produced fruit

There ild strawberry, watermelon and capsicum Monster Plants as well as Ents that produced pears, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, coffee, citrus fruits, bananas, oes, avocadoes and sap that could be turned into syrup

There were evenfruits that Vandalieu didn’t know He didn’t knohether these fruits existed on Earth

“Jyuuh In that case, it cannot be helped,” said Bone Man as he quickly joined Vandalieu in enjoying the fruits that he had never seen before Despite beingeater

The next day, this Dungeon was na’s Orchard’
