The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 112 (2/2)
So theto attack Vandalieu They were all acting separately
“Here, Boulder Smash!+”
A resistance member who had tried to attack Vandalieu was crushed by Pauvina’s steel mace and martial skill, then sed by the Blood Slime Kühl
On the left side of the road, Pete and the Thunder Ghost were ra everywhere, and on the right, the fla the ene in
Incidentally, the resistance roup had been annihilated by Ce turned into meatballs by the bees’ powerful jaws that had been capable of cutting straight through theirfood for the queen bee’s reincarnation, ould soon be hatching fro
“D-did you really need us here?” Privel asked
“… W-ere supposed to be your escorts,” said one of the Scylla guards
Click-click-click
The Sheep Wor fro the Scylla as they watched these events unfolding with dumbfounded expressions on their faces
Vandalieu had already explained his Insect Binding Technique skill to the the plan… the plan to lure Raymond out and extract the truth from him
However, they hadn’t ihting strength
“By the on’t this cause a forest fire?” Privel asked
“No need to worry Everything flae has already been burnt up, so the fire won’t spread!” Princess Levia said, full of confidence
“I-I see, then it’s fine, isn’t it?”
Behind Levia was a hill that had been turned into nothing more than an inclined surface of ash and charred remains There certainly had been numerous resistance members there, but Privel couldn’t even see if there were any bones left
And then Pauvina called out to the dumbfounded Scylla
“Onee-chans, you can’t let your guards down,” she told them “While there are still enemies left alive, you have to stay focused The moment you think you’ve won is the one that you’re in the er It’s called Zanshi+n”
TLN: A term used in japanese martial arts that refers to a state of relaxed mental awareness
“Y-yeah,” said Privel “You’re right We have to stay focused”
“Yes, it is not good for us to let our guards down”
“Zanshi+n, huh? I understand”
The aftermath of Levia and her Ghosts’ battle was surreal, with even the burnt s a mace covered in blood and pieces of flesh It seeained their sense of reality after seeing her and hearing her vivid words
“Wait,returned to her senses, Privel looked back towardsoba
Orbia had already stopped screa
“I’ll kill you!”
Her appearance was considerably different to how she appeared when she was alive or when she was still a powerless spirit
Other than being wet, the upper half of her body and her face hadn’t changed, but her long hair and the lower half of her body had become liquid
Having been engulfed in this liquid, Ray at the nostrils and mouth
Vandalieu exhaled “I get the feeling that I’ve used more Mana than with Princess Levia and the others, ere already Ghosts to begin with Ah, please stop doing that once you’re satisfied,” he said to Orbia “I’ to use him”
“Why?!” Orbia deuy…!”
“We can’t just leave that Rick person alone, can we?” said Vandalieu
“That’s… true Alright”
Orbia waved her liquid tentacles and Rayround like a heap of trash With the whites of his eyes showing, he coughed out water fros
It seemed that he was mostly unconscious, but Vandalieu tied his hands and feet with threads just in case
“Looking intoto persuade me was a mistake, wasn’t it?” Vandalieu murmured
Raye person He could even be described as tenacious But the reason Vandalieu had been able to brainwash him with the Mental Encroachment skill in such a short a intently into Vandalieu’s eyes to try and win him over
If he had talked withouteye contact, there would have been almost no effect
But it seemed that he had very much desired to have Vandalieu join hi attention to Vandalieu’s behavior that he had received the full effects of the Mental Encroachment skill
Pete had captured a resistancethe s were twisted in directions that they were not supposed to twist in, but perhaps his rage had nulare at Vandalieu without letting out a single scream
“You bastard! How dare you do this to the commander, to everyone!” the man shouted “Commander Raymond is pivotal to the resistancethe commander would only make the Empire’s army happy?!”
“That’s why I’ve stopped hi killed for now, isn’t it?” said Vandalieu
“For now?! Release hi the Scylla, you are losing sight of the bigger picture! Rather than regret the sacrifices of the few, you must consider the many –”
“… Liiick”
“W-what are you… kah”
Vandalieu licked the wide-open eyes of the round
“D-did you kill him?” Privel asked
“No, that’s too troubleso through his eyeballs He can’t ht that conversing with the man would be a waste of time
Putting his tongue back in his mouth, he approached the motionless man and whispered into his ear
“I will have you do so for me Please return to your base and tell them that if they value Raymond’s life, Vice-captain Rick and all of thecase nated location That location is –”
Using the Mental Encroachment skill to make the man believe that Raymond would be killed if he didn’t fulfil this task, Vandalieu res The moment this was complete, he ran off as fast as he could
He was oblivious to the parasitic insect and parasitic plant that had been put in his body to track his location, as well as the nu in the air above him
“I could have the spirits of the resistance members or Rayuarantee that Rick will be there,” said Vandalieu “It’s best to have one of his allies draw him out”
“I see! Live bait has no use if it’s not alive! Van-kun, you’re so cool!” Orbia exclaimed
“Rather than being cool, I get the feeling that it’s a bit cowardly… but similar methods are often used to capture bandits, so it’s probably fine,” said Privel, agreeing to Vandalieu’s ht “But I wonder if this Rick person is going to come?” she said doubtfully
“I’uards reassured her “I don’t know anything about him other than his appearance, but this Rayanization He isn’t just their leader; since he has the blood of the duke’s family, nobody can replace him They won’t abandon him so easily”
“Is that how it is?” said Privel
As the Scylla race wasn’t very fa that Privel couldn’t understand straight away But it was true that Rayreat effects
It ave hidom It was also the reason that these men had named themselves the ‘Reborn Sauron Duchy Army’
The anizational power the Reborn Sauron Duchy Arroup of mediocre power
“And I think that person… that guy… Rick I think he really adores his older brother No o back to his Ani-ue”
“Orbia-oneesan, I think that goes beyond being a bro-con,” Pauvina said with honesty
“Back then, I just thought he was a good person who thought highly of his onii-san~!” Orbia shouted, spraying water droplets everywhere It seemed that she was still euy’s half-brother; Rayitimate child of the duke’s family! Rick can’t replace him!”
“Then it seems likely that there will definitely be soo back to Periveil-san’s place for now, and then head for the designatedlocation… back to the camp”

Monster explanation
【Water Ghost】
Monsters that are said to for attachment and hatred in their hearts This is one of the reasons why spirits have long said to gather near water; they are eons and Devil’s Nests than other superior Ghost races
Theirtheir victi their own body parts that have become liquid Also, powerful Water Ghosts can fire their liquified spirit forms as projectile weapons and display ic
Due to these qualities, many of them possess memories from when they were alive, but theseattachotten
Their personalities are significantly distorted, and many Water Ghosts attack others indiscriminately in order to create more Water Ghosts Even those ere friends before the Water Ghosts died are unable to talk sense into them
It is said that those who are killed by so properly buried become particularly ferocious and powerful Water Ghosts
Orbia’s memory of when she was alive has been h she is an Undead, she possesses the divine protection of a Goddess and is under the effects of Vandalieu’s Guidance: Demon Path skill, so she has become far more powerful than an ordinary Water Ghost
