The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 95 (1/2)

With her shoulders heaving up and down, Ternecia gave a gleeful cackle at the drug-like sense of liberation that was filling her mind Her appearance was now quite unlike that of a Vampire

There were horns not only co from her temples, but twisted, branched horns had also sprouted frohs, knees and calves

“Kufuh… Did you see it? Did you taste it? This is the power of a sealed part of the De’s horns’”

The frag that Ternecia had acquired several tens of thousands of years ago That hat these horns were The ‘Deical defenses and even tear through Adamantite with ease This was Ternecia’s trump card

By joining forces with Birkyne and Guba in their bodies, she had escaped froed victorious in battles with Pure-breed Vampires orshi+pped other evil Gods

But that would end today

“I see, fufu, they betrayed me Ah, I see, I don’t need the I don’t need the, find the other fraguh!”

Ternecia was seething with rage at Birkyne and Gubaroan and clutched her head

This is bad, the encroachun I have to hurry and suppress it…!

Frag bestowed vast power to those who possessed theainst Gods

However, the price of this poas great The frag to take over the ather the other frag in order to resurrect him

Even if it weren’t alive, the Dements contained Guduranis’s Mana that had properties that were not supposed to exist in Lambda, so they would still eat away at their hosts

The extent to which this had occurred was displayed as the ‘Deree’ skill on the Status Ternecia’s Deher the level of the skill, the , but it was also proof of how close she was to the De, how much her mind had been encroached upon

Ternecia tried to cal Heinz and his party get back to their feet around her, she had no choice but to stop doing this

“This is… the power of a frag,” Heinz murmured

“To think you’d fill my Adamantite shi+eld with holes You really outdid yourself,” said Delizah

Heinz and his companions had been seriously injured, but none of their wounds were fatal And even those serious injuries were steadily healing

“… Good grief It seems that you are far more like Vampires than I am,” said Ternecia “How is it that none of you died with my last attack?”

Delizah’s Adaon scales had been torn to pieces by the De’s horns Even if they were A-class adventurers, at least one… in particular, the lightly-equipped Edgar and Jennifer, should have suffered fatal wounds

However, all of the

Before thee of the Gods, defeated several Gods and even possessed a fragn of defeat in their eyes

Does one of these people have that Job? No, if that were the case, I should have been cornered further Which means that at most, one of them has the qualities for it

“Well, that justSpiral Throw!” Shouting the na Technique s’ horns that were sprouting from her body!

“Don’t try to block it!” Diana warned her companions “Please avoid or attack them!”

Heinz’s party did as she said, dodging the Dee their trajectories with martial skills

“We’ll create an opening!” Edgar shouted “Million Slashes!”

“Go, Heinz!” said Jennifer “Thousand Radiant Destructive Fists!”

The two of the with advancedand striking down the De’s horns

“Leave it to ic Radiant Destructive Attack!” The tip of hiseven more fiercely than when he had cut Chipiras in two, closed in on Ternecia

“Evil Wall!” Ternecia shouted, and the Derew from her body once more

The Deons that were made of bone; in terms of properties, they were re antlers every year, the Deed their shapes in the places that Ternecia wanted them to

The reason she wore clothes with many slits that exposed her skin was so that she could use the De’s horns when she needed to

The horns twisted, branched and entwined around each other, turning into a shi+eld to ic sword

“UOOOOH!”

“AAAAAAAH!”

Heinz tried to pierce the Deh, but Ternecia grewher defense further

This guy! This guy is a Guider after all!

Guiders were those who led not only their chosen co the champions like Bellwood and Zakkart, who had possessed this Job in the age of the Gods, the number of people who had acquired this Job in the past one hundred thousand years could be counted on two hands

In a way, it was a Job considered to be a requirement to be a champion

The fearsoth, but the way they endlessly strengthened their couidance

As she had once been under the guidance of a champion herself, Ternecia knew this all too well

“GAAAH! Evil Wall! Evil Ar Dark Spear!”

“Kuh?!”

Ternecia unleashed martial arts of shi+eld Technique, Ar and Spear Technique in quick succession, enduring Heinz’s attack with sheer strength and forcing hilared at the one she suspected could beco protected by hi her teeth

She needed to kill Heinz, his co at all costs If they were left alone and given a chance to develop further, it was possible that the Vampires would be helplessly hunted down in the future

Currently, Ternecia was still stronger than them If she faced them do, she would have about a seventy percent chance of killing them all

However –

“daic, I would haveadvanced martial skills in quick succession The ic Because of this, when the Deic other than no-attribute ic

Norless due to the sheer power of the Dement

『The level of the Deree skill has increased!』

Ternecia heard this voice echoing inside her head and she screarew stronger She felt a pleasant, nu her headache and blurring vision Her sense of panic reached a peak

At this rate, even if I kill these guys, I’ll be taken over by the fragment! I have no choice but to finish this later!

“I will definitely kill you Remember this!” Ternecia screeched

“She’s trying to escape!”

“We won’t let you!”

Heinz and his companions tried to chase after Ternecia as she fled, but she fired the De their way

By the time Heinz dealt with the horns, Ternecia was nowhere to be seen

Using the legendary-class Magic Iteed to teleport to her secret hiding place and then collapsed, pressing her forehead against the smooth, polished stone floor

“I-I ed to escape…”

She had to regain her strength She had to tell Birkyne and Gubamon that Heinz could become a Guider and then kill his party with their help

This wasn’t the ti for the Dhae

There was so with Hihiryushukaka, too How could he call himself the Evil God of Joyful Life? Heinz and his party were far erous than a Dhampir who could create Undead, weren’t they? Why hadn’t Hihiryushukaka sent a divine e to kill Heinz earlier!

“Bell about now?! Hurry and co,’ aren’t you!” Ternecia called for her last re confidant… her most useless servant

This servant was scum who could only serve as a watchency rations; her htly However, she possessed the unique skill called Offering With the effect of this skill, the one who consumed her would recover all of their Vitality and Mana, and most status effects would be removed

If Ternecia drained Bellmond of her blood, she could instantly make a full recovery That hy she had kept Bellmond here all this time

Now Ternecia would have Bell picked up by the Vampires

“Why aren’t you co! Hurry and – ah?”

Ternecia made no attempt to hide her irritation as she stood up She saw not Bell a pipe in her direction

Her mind froze for a moment before she screamed for her life

“Telekinesis gun, fire”

With a roaring sound, so to suppress the De’s horns, she was forced to use them to try and protect herself a moment before the projectile hit her

But the bullet fired fro’s horns, which could norh even an Adamantite shi+eld, as if they were made of hard candy It found its mark in Ternecia’s neck

Ternecia’s eyes were still open wide in astonishment when her entire face disappeared Her headless body collapsed onto the floor once more

And then there was another roaring noise as the bullet hit the wall far on the other side of her, causing the cave to tre noise as soround lake

“It seems that Orichalcum really does have a different level of power… but maybe I put too much Mana into it”

Vandalieu sighed as he looked at where his four spirit for due to the violent recoil and the gun barrel that now resembled a split piece of bamboo

After Vandalieu put together the various scattered pieces of Bellether, she had told him that the place Ternecia appeared when she visited this place was a port inside the mansion that allowed her to travel directly froround lake via a boat

The legendary-class Magic Item that Ternecia had in her molar was small and exceptional in how portable it was, but it was only capable of teleporting her to a previously-recorded location and the place she teleported from

Vandalieu had been watching Heinz’s party corner Ternecia through Leun with an Orichalcu for her the moment she made her escape

While waiting, he had created a seon for teleportation purposes behind Ternecia’s hideout, wandered around, taic Items and other items that had been kept here

Incidentally, a week had passed since Bellmond had joined his side

“She came here faster and in a more spent state than I expected,” Vandalieu remarked

“Is there not so?” Bellmond asked him

“Sootten?”

“Yes” Bellmond sounded a little exasperated at the fact that Vandalieu didn’t show any particularly strong e of a Pure-breed Vae of the Gods

But from Vandalieu’s perspective, Ternecia was far less of an enemy than Gubamon, as the boss of the one who had killed his father and the one who had stolen the corpses of Talosheim’s heroes, and Birkyne, as Eleanora’s former master

Of course, Ternecia was the person who had been pulling the strings to cause the war between Talosheio, so she had indeed been on his list of “people he definitely had to kill”

“Ah, if you’re worried about the fact that this underground space ht collapse, it’s fine, because I’ve already made it more tremor-resistant,” said Vandalieu “Even in the worst-case scenario, ill have time to escape”

“… I can see that from the numerous thick stone pillars you have built next to the mansion,” Bellmond told him

“I do not think that is what she meant, Master,” said Luciliano

Even though itequipped inside Vandalieu’s body, Luciliano’s burning researcher spirit had driven him in a desire to see the Undead created by a Pure-breed Vampire

Luciliano was the first living hu that he understood, she felt a sense of empathy

“Those precious round must be quickly collected!” Luciliano exclaimed “This is a specimen of a Pure-breed Vampire that has lived since the time of the Gods, one that has received the divine protection of an evil God! Its value is unfathomable!”

“… No, that is not what I was trying to say,” said Bellmond

Our senses of values don’t ht Bell a sense of loneliness as she looked at Luciliano’s eyes sparkling with greed

“I suppose you’re right,” said Vandalieu, agreeing with Luciliano “Death Delay Please infest her,” he requested his insects after casting a spell on Ternecia’s body, which had started convulsing on the ground And then he equipped her corpse inside his body

It would have been a pity to let the large ao to waste, so he turned it into a Blood Goleulped it down The broken horn frage

『The level of the Bloodwork skill has increased!』

To think that Vandalieu’s skill had leveled up after drinking her blood once Even if she had been rotten, she was still a Pure-breed Vampire

“Please let me examine her as e return, Master,” said Luciliano “However… recovering her head is i Dements of her brain, but…”

“I have grownoutside,” said Bellmond “Have you humans not becoo?”

“More is that looked like horns and thorns growing froun?” Vandalieu asked

“That is… No, I do not know,” Bellmond replied, her tone of speech as polite as ever “However, I suspect that it ”

Hearing this, Vandalieu used Appraisal on the horn frag in his hand

『Ternecia’s horn: Details are unknown, but it contains Mana with the sa Guduranis’s blood』

“I see… Ah, you two, get away fro”

“Co?” Bellmond and Luciliano repeated

“Ternecia isn’t dead yet”

The moment they understood Vandalieu’s words, a black, twisted horn flew out from the distant lake surface

Vandalieu put up his barriers to try and stop it, but in the next instant, he heeded the warning of Danger Sense: Death in his head and threw himself on the floor

The twisted horn easily pierced through the I Barrier

“I see, so barriers don’t work on those horns Still… I’ht surprise as he stood up

Ternecia, wearing a bloodcurdling, angry expression ater dripping froed from the lake’s surface

“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you all!” she shrieked

She had grown a new torso with her regenerative ability that defied reality, but she was in a state where her spine and ribs were accoans and a small amount ofher together
