The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 104 (1/2)

There were several ion that was formerly the Sauron Duchy, now occupied by the Amid Empire

Tentacles were twisting and crawling around in front of the muddy water into the air

“This thing, it’s still alive?!”

“F-fire, fire!”

The panicked archers hastily nocked arroith their tips covered in a green fluid in their short bows and pulled back their bowstrings

“Don’t panic, it’s already dead!” shouted a young s and a well-featured face, but several arrows fired by the archers buried the noises

But the tentacles wouldn’t stop writhing The young ue and reprimanded the archers

“I explained this beforehand; the lower bodies of these things don’t stopfor a while even after they’ve died Even if you cut their heads off or split their upper bodies in half, they keep squir around for a bit Octopuses…”

The young man was about to explain that octopuses were the sarown up in a coastal down, but he had just reions, so even if they knew that creatures called octopuses existed, they would have only seen thear

“They’re like lizard’s tails,” the young man said “They flail around for a while, don’t they?”

This was actually for a coive the archers right noas not proper education, but composure

“I-I see”

“Indeed… As expected of Vice-captain Rick, you’re so knowledgeable”

This goal was accoained their composure and lowered their bows The arrows that they used and the poison coating the arrowheads were special, so they couldn’t be fired wastefully

“Don’t relax too ,” said Rick

“What e do about the Magic Stone and materials?” asked one of his subordinates

“Don’t touch them, of course,” said Rick “We’re short on money, but it would be bad if by some small chance so these things”

“That’s true, too”

Seeing his subordinate return his disasse knife to its sheath, Rick waded into the marsh towards the creature that had lost its balance and toppled over… the Scylla woman

Her eyes were still wide open in disbelief as Rick grabbed her loosely-hanging, mud-covered hand

“Sorry, but I’ll take this back,” Rickit for the next one as well, you see”

And then he took the ring, which he had given to her just er

“Dispose of her”

The archers obeyed Rick’s order and switched fro the Scylla into a repulsive mess

They severed all of her tentacles and hacked into the upper body below her neck, with their blows particularly focused around her breasts

“Vice-captain Rick, this occurs to me every time, but why do we cut their chests up so much? And wouldn’t it be faster to use Axe Technique to cut the their tentacles off one by one?” another subordinate asked

“This isfor them,” Rick replied “I don’t understand it, but the tentacles on the lower bodies of Scylla are apparently equivalent to a woman’s hair, a part of their bodies that they are supposed to be proud of And the chest symbolizes maternity for women orshi+p Vida-sama; it’s the place that contains the heart, which is Vida’s holy sys If ant to desecrate these bodies, this is the best way, even if it is troublesome”

And the reason that the e the faces was to ensure that the other Scylla who discovered the corpses would be able to identify them easily

“I see…” the subordinate murmured

In other words, it wasn’t wasted effort They were ai for the body parts of cultural and symbolic importance

Even if they aren’t people, how can he destroy bodies in such a rational way? thepale

“Don’tthe subordinate a s this because I enjoy it?”

“Eh? But don’t you hate Scylla, Vice-captain?”

“It’s true that I hold Scylla in contempt But even so, I respectworeider, and then his face straightened into a serious expression as he continued “This plan is indeed so that we can never tell others about in pride, soraceful It can’t be called justice; it’s so that only scum would carry out But I want you to remember We are in a vastly weaker position We can’t achieve victory by being picky with our methods, and if we can’t achieve victory, we can’t save this nation Our companions, and even the Scylla that we’ve killed, will have died for nothing We mustn’t disappoint them I want you to believe in me and my older brother, and follow my lead”

“Yes, Vice-captain Rick Paris! We will follow you wherever you o!” the men declared in unison, overcome with emotion from Rick’s speech

Perhaps they saw their commander who showed no hesitation to dirty his own hands, as well as themselves, as solitary heroes Perhaps they were intoxicated on the feeling of superiority fro for a noble cause

And then Rick and hison thetouches

A grueso with the tentacles and pieces of flesh floating in the mud of the marsh

A beautiful, red-haired wo table by sturdy chains that had been wrapped around her liain

“…”

She earing only a single strange, thin cloth, leaving the pure-white skin of the area where her thighs joined into her back exposed There were curved, stiff scars visible there

As a beautiful, yetechoed out, hands so white that they looked as if they had been covered in candle wax closed in on her silently

“Scalpel… or rather, claws”

“Incision”

“Administer Potion”

“Part number three”

The hands were skillfully carrying so out

They showed no hesitation as they used claws instead of scalpels to make incisions on the woman’s skin Their ly s

However, the surgery was being conducted without any anesthetics, so each time an incision was made, the wo that sounded like small moans escaped her lips

“Last of all, apply the Potion and the surgery is complete Thank you for your hard work”

“Mmm, this was excellent work, Master”

“~♪”

“Eh?! It’s already over?!” Eleanora, who had been lying on her stomach, raised her head

“It’s finished,” Vandalieu replied He sheathed his claws and re the post-cosery assistant, Yaery wouldn’t take very long, didn’t I, Eleanora?”

The cos the body parts of the Live-Dead Ternecia would have been considered a large-scale surgery on Earth, despite Eleanora not having scars in only a few places

It involved not only transplanting the skin, but the flesh and blood vessels beneath it

However, with Vandalieu as the surgeon and Eleanora as the patient, it was a simple procedure

Vandalieu used Spirit Form Transformation on a part of his body, fused them with Eleanora’s body, suppressed her blood vessels and used the skillful judgs secreted frorowth

Eleanora was also a noble-born Va Due to her Status Effect Resistance skill, anesthesia was almost completely ineffective on her, but she was resistant to pain to begin with, so she could endure this much without any problems

… Despite that, Eleanora herself had wanted her li problem if by some small chance her body started to move

“But… a little longer…” Eleanora mumbled

“With medical science in its current state, it can’t be helped,” said Vandalieu

Medical science was powerless when faced with a healthy body

Seeking an ally, Eleanora glanced toward Ya while the other six looked back at her with dull, lifeless eyes

Yamata was one of Ternecia’s finest works; it was a Zoon-race Hydra specimen as the base and the upper bodies of beautiful women of nine different races attached to the Hydra’s necks Vandalieu had taken a liking to it as well, saying that it was incredibly convenient, so it had perforence was still on the level of an ordinary Zombie

It did little other than obey orders, and its thinking capabilities were about the same as a small child’s

But the one who became Eleanora’s ally instead was Luciliano

“I do notshown more,” he said

He was standing in this place with a cool expression, but Eleanora hadn’t acknowledged him as a member of the opposite sex His words of, “Ah, I have no interest in anything but Undead,” that he had spoken before the surgery had been too convincing

“The process of the combination of Ternecia’s parts with your body is extre,” Luciliano continued “At first, they rejected each other, but the moment that the Blood Potion that Master created with his own blood was applied, they combined before my very eyes and there was not even any need to perfor This is a true transformation”

As Luciliano said, Eleanora’s body had no visible scars or stitches froery As body parts had indeed been transplanted, there was nothing to be done about the skin being of a slightly different color in places, but even these looked like they were going to assimilate properly soon

“So that is how it is, Master Will you not perforery?” Luciliano requested

“Like I said, she’s already healthy,” said Vandalieu “Eleanora, please drink another bottle of Blood Potion afterwards, and then go and rest”

“It cannot be helped… ah…!” As Eleanora gave up and drank the Blood Potion with san to sparkle in a bewitching way

Perhaps because blood was included in its ingredient list, Blood Potions appeared to have different effects on Vampires

“Is this alright, Master?” asked Luciliano

“Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be harmful, so it’s probably fine,” said Vandalieu

“Danna-sa the surgery froe of the rooht of theEleanora

I will htly as I am, if I were to make such an expression, Danna-sama will shun me and… I do not have the confidence that I will be able to suppress my desire to end my own life in self-hatred before that happens

Bellery were already complete, and the mood didn’t really allow for her to say that she wanted to back out now

“C-can you not at least ery…?” she asked

“If you’re unconscious, the function of your Rapid Regeneration skill decreases, and it will be problematic to have you drink the Potion afterwards, so it would be very helpful if you could stay awake,” said Vandalieu “It will be fine Yah the pain will continue throughout the whole thing rather than just at the beginning, ill hold you down”

But it wouldn’t be over so quickly that it would be finished before Bell Unlike Eleanora, Bellmond required many different parts to be transplanted

“Then how about forcing ic, Danna-saested

“It’s not like I can’t do it, but that would use up an extra process for ,” said Vandalieu “In the unlikely event that so happens, I want to have room to ith”

Since his patient was Bell Vitality, it was unlikely that a serious medical error would occur, but even so, it was probably best to prepare for the worst

“Kuh, as to be expected of you, Danna-sa Vandalieu with a groan

“That’s not true,” said Luciliano, slurping his fern tea that he had s and interests are not involved”

“Fufufu, rest assured Everything will turn into pleasure soon,” said Eleanora

“Eleanora, please hurry and leave the room, put on your clothes and rest,” said Vandalieu “You’reBellmond feel anxious,” said Vandalieu

Vandalieu’s spirit for table, as if they were going on a little trip

“This way~”

“Let’s go and rest, shall we~?”

“Ah, there are so many Vandalieu-samas~ ♪”

Vandalieu had known things would co was still fully prepared

“Still, this Blood Potion, does it really have those kinds of effects?” Vandalieu wondered

When he drank it hi effects as a Potion, it just seemed sweet and easy to drink

“Well, that is how it is,” said Luciliano “It is made of your own blood, after all”

It seemed that even Vampires didn’t have an appetite for their own blood

Suddenly, they heard the slurping sound of saliva

Yaht of a prier in its eyes when it looked at Blood Potion It seemed that Blood Potions were extremely delicious to Vampires and Zombies, just not for Vandalieu

Even with Vandalieu’s skill, Bellery took over ten hours

Eleanora had only needed her skin and the underlying flesh to be replaced, but Bellans transplanted as well, so perhaps Vandalieu should have been proud for having completed it in only ten hours

“When I exaans were daed, so let’s take this opportunity to renew them as well,” Vandalieu had said

Bellmond had become a Vampire, so this didn’t even affect her ability in battle, let alone her everyday life However, Vandalieu had taken this opportunity to go as far as to perforan transplantation

If Vandalieu wanted to repair these in the future but the Live-Dead Ternecia somehow became unusable, it would be a pain, after all

It is difficult to tell whether Danna-sama is an optiht as she sighed

She got up froth mirror that had been prepared under the assumption that the patients would want to see the results of the surgery

This was aup so Golelass with the appropriate shape

“He truly is incredible,” Bellmond murmured to herself “Even royals and nobles would be astonished by this mirror”

Does Danna-salass would be worth? She wondered as she looked at the reflection of herself in the crystal-clear mirror

And then she hardened her resolve and dropped the robe that she earing

“…!”

The e of someone that was Bellmond, but at the saasped and almost activated her Demon Eye on herself in surprise

Her previously scar-covered skin had changed color where new skin had been transplanted, looking as if it was covered in strangely-shaped bruises, but it was very smooth

Her chest that was al to her ribs in places, was now large and soft She had been surprised by its weight right after the surgery, but seeing it like this was evenIt quivered a little every time she moved, and it was heavy

As for her abdomen, it had becoans had been transplanted as well
