The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 144 (2/2)
As the spectating gallery suddenly grew, the ensuing conversation told Bugitas that he was in a hopeless situation
It’s not a matter of whether I can defeat Budarion or not; if that monster had joined forces with Budarion and come at me two-on-one from the start, I would already be dead!
Also, Vandalieu hadn’t been directly targeted, but he possessed the ability to block Bugitas’s secret attack Despite that, he had only used the De’s carapace for defense, not only for his and the civilians that ht be on the other side of them
If Vandalieu started backing Budarion up seriously, hoould Bugitas hold out when he was already inferior as things were now?
So as Vandalieu leaving Bugitas’s disposal to Budarion? Bugitas had guessed the answer to that
A performance for the citizens and the other nations!
This war had caused the noble Orc eitas, the one who had usurped the throne, was responsible for staging coup d’états innity, but there was no doubt that the people’s trust in the empire itself had fallen
Even if Bugitas’s head was taken and every single one of his subordinates was executed, the empire would not be able to return to its previous position In fact, it would have to atone for its actions for a long time to come
For the eain as much of its position as possible, it was necessary for Budarion to defeat Bugitas with his own hands, and for this act to be witnessed by members of each nation
Vandalieu focusing on preventing da assistance to Budarion, and the presence of the spectating gallery, were for that purpose
Princess Kurnelia, Gizania and Myuze froh Kobold nation and Prince Zorgo froh Goblin nation nobody had coed victorious in the brawl that had occurred there, he had beco, so he was here as their representative
All of them were like relatives to one another, but even the nations that weren’t here to witness it couldn’t ignore such an event
Incidentally, the reason Budarion was speaking the hue was out of consideration for this gallery of spectators
Bugitas let out a low laugh “… So, you’re already treating me like a loser”
“What’s the ive up and surrender, then I will show ive you the most painless death,” said Budarion
“Surrender? I, the one who has been recognized as the agent of Ravovifard’s divine will in this world, surrender to a h to become this monster’s hound…”
At this rate, a coin the plan for certain victory that had been given to him by Ravovifard
Originally, it had been a plan to be used on Vandalieu Bugitas had been warned to never use it other than for that purpose, but he had no choice left now
“BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ani-ue, I shall surpass you here once more! Monster, what is about to happen is all because you drove e step backwards, his eyes containing the dangerous look characteristic of someone who has been cornered
Budarion instinctively chased after hiitas, what are you doing?!”
“BUHAHAHA! Dement, activate!”
Bugitas’s body gloith a bluish-white light, an orown heavier
“Buh, what is this light?!” Budarion fell back, blinded by the light
“No way, Bugitas had a frag?!” Princess Kurnelia exclai like that, the only thing waiting for you is your destr… you s!” she said, correcting herself
“Fraget away from me as well,” said Vandalieu “Also, Princess Kurnelia, thank you for correcting yourself out of consideration”
With those words, Vandalieu solidified his defense He had originally thought it highly likely that Ravovifard would do soitas would be defeated, he hadn’t come unprepared
He was constantly within range to protect everyone in the spectating gallery, too
For now, he put up barriers and built walls using the De’s blood and carapace But he couldn’t control them well
Vandalieu coughed “This is…?”
A large ah Vandalieu’s skin; ink fro’s ink sacs poured fro’s horns, carapace and suction cups were appearing haphazardly all over his body
“Release us! Release us! Release us!”
The frag ti; his bones ached and his heart trembled
“Vandalieu! What is… GUOOOH?!”
“AAAAAHHH?!”
Vigaro and Princess Levia, who had begun rushi+ng over towards Vandalieu, began writhing in agony, as did Budarion and the other noble Orcs who had been watching events unfold in the plaza from afar
But they weren’t si
“GUOOOOOOOGAAAAAAH!”
Budarion had maintained his ability to reason even in the middle of battle, but now, his eyes becanashed his fangs together nuic sword about
The other noble Orcs that were Bugitas’s subordinates, as well as Princess Levia and the other Ghosts, had expressions on their faces rese beasts, completely different from their normal selves
“What is this… their instincts as monsters have been forcibly amplified?! He can do this even to those who are not under the effects of his False Guidance?!” Zadiris shouted
Though she was a member of one of Vida’s races that had monster roots, she was not a pure monster, so she had retained her ability to reason
“It is likely that Ravovifard’s power is being a like that… Kuh, Vandalieu”
“Kuh, Van! VAAAAN!” Basdia shouted
Vandalieu could hear Gizania and Basdia’s voices, but he couldn’t reply His hands were full with trying to control the Dements
“JUOOOOOOOOH!”
“GICHICHICHICHIIH!”
On top of everything else, Bone Man and Pete had come out of Vandalieu’s body on their own This wasn’t a situation where he could relax and say, “I’ht”
Bugitas let out a loud laugh as he watched this disastrous scene unfold “BUHAHAHAHAHAHA! It seems that even Ani-ue has no choice but to become the kind of beast that he hates so ans!”
NoGuduranis and his subordinates were, to the De e quantities, pawns that he used to fight
But if they were intelligent, they would think about unnecessary things, and even if that weren’t the case, they would often rebel against the De and his subordinate Gods or act on their own once they beca
That hyand his evil Gods Even now, a hundred thousand years after the Deed
Bugitas had used the Deiven to him by Ravovifard, the evil God of release, in order to utilize that instinct
By secreting a special pheroht fro Budarion, go berserk
This had originally been a plan to o wild and destroy hiitas hadn’t expected it to be this effective
“If this was hoas going to turn out, I should have done this froitas was initially intoxicated by the certainty of his victory, but he got goosebumps as he experienced a harsh headache and heard an announcer’s voice in his head, warning hiree is already Level 7?! Th-that’s too fast!”
The De speed As it did, the power of the Derew proportionally greater, but Bugitas’s mind was encroached upon
What is the ree will increase this fast! Isn’t there some kind of miscalculation…?
“No, everything has gone according to plan, Bugitas, my most exceptional monster… or rather, my most exceptional pawn,” said the voice of Ravovifard, echoing inside Bugitas’s now-chaotic mind
The voice was coitas… or rather, the spirit clone that Ravovifard had created with a part of his own personality, its power deliberately suppressed to disguise it as a familiar spirit
“Ravovifard! This is…?!”
“It seeans have affected your own otten that you are nothing more than a monster yourself Now then, I will take over from here, my pawn!”
As Bugitas felt Ravovifard’s power expand explosively inside hi slowly vanish, he screaer at his betrayal at the hands of the God that he worshi+pped
“… Fufufu, HAHAHAHA! I have finally gained a body that I can row hih for now! Once this battle is over, I shall choose a powerful fenate her and create the body I will possess for the next generation!” said Ravovifard, elated after having gained Bugitas’s body He turned his gaze to Budarion and Vandalieu, whose body was covered in carapace and horns “Now then, ments to me!”
At those words, the noble Orcs that had been Bugitas’s subordinates, Budarion as well as Borkus and their others raised their faces
“No, you can’t do that, Darling!” Princess Kurnelia shouted in grief
But they took no notice of her and began to move
“BUGAAAAAAH!”
With roars so bloodthirsty that blood could aled towards Vandalieu
“YOU’RE IN THE WAAAAAY!”
“JYUOOOOOH!”
“UOOOOOOH!”
Budarion, Bone Man and Borkus broke into a run with enough force to s beneath thele slash
“WHAT?!” Ravovifard shouted in astonishment “You are lowly monsters; why are you disobey – GUOOOOH?!”
As the three of theh the air, they closed in on Ravovifard Unable to completely stop all three of their swords, Ravovifard was sent flying backwards

【noble Orc Abyss King】
A being that the noble Orc High King Budarion has beco his lost arery and death-attributeBudirud and Bufudin on the battlefield and increasing his Rank
His right arm and left eye have become stained black from the influence of death-attribute Mana, but they do not have any special powers over his non-black arm and eye
By increasing his Rank, he has acquired the Magic Resistance, Status Effect Resistance and Mana Enlargement Skills
Also, as he is under the effects of Guidance: Deains bonuses to his Attribute Values and Skills, and it is expected that he will become even more powerful once he increases his Level

However, there is no mistake that he is a monster that receives the maximum effect of a Guidance Skill; such monsters are rare if one excludes the monsters tamed by the champion Nineroad
