The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 148 (1/2)

About fifty thousand years ago, Farmaun Gold, a champion God, had appeared outside the barrier that protected the region enclosed by the Boundary Mountain Range

Godas so astonished upon hearing this that he al about that!”

“Of course you haven’t, Godwin This is so before you were born,” said Xerx

Seeing Farmaun for the first time since the war between Vida and Alda that had taken place a hundred thousand years ago, the Gods who had secluded theust at seeing that he had become a God

To the Gods who served Vida, Far Guduranis by their side, but at the saside Alda, the God of law and fate, and his champion Bellwood And Fareration to say that he was a sworn nemesis; no matter how h

During the war suddenly started by Alda and his champions, their master Vida had been wounded deeply, the Undead Zakkart defeated and their child, the True Ancestor of the Vampires, also lost his life

Several Gods had been defeated and sealed, and numerous Pure-breed Vampires and ancestors of Vida’s other races had been killed as well

Far Zantark, so the number of lives that he had actually taken was less than the other champions and Alda hihter, would have been free to move and hold back the other champions If Farmaun had not appeared as an eneht have even been possible to turn the tables on Alda and win the war

Even if the war couldn’t be won, the losses suffered would have been drastically less

Thus, the Gods had felt fear when Farer and hatred rose up within theht any of the other heroic Gods or subordinate Gods with hi inside the barrier and then focusing all of their effort into defeating hi him away

But it could be assu for, and the moment the barrier was opened even a little, his hidden allies lying in ould appear and flood in like an avalanche

That hy the Gods had thened the barrier, choosing to devote themselves to defensive action

“He is a chaainst Zantark-sale combat – a tremendous feat, even if you consider that Zantark-sama had just fused with an evil God and could not fully wield his power By beco a heroic God, Farmaun’s poould possibly have increased, but there was no chance that it had decreased at all,” said Xerx, the God of battle flags

“At the time, the population of every race had increased drastically froainst Alda and his servants,” said Zanalpadna, the evil God of carapaces and co where Xerx had stopped “But the recovery of us Gods from our exhaustion was even ht him”

“And we couldn’t ignore the existence of Bellwood and Nineroad, ere nowhere to be seen… Back then, if we had known that Bellwood had apparently vanished and those on Alda’s side were exhausted as well, we ht have made a different decision, however,” said Rishare

At the tie had no way of gaining infor outside the barrier As they had fought against Alda alongside Vida, they were not worshi+pped outside the Boundary Mountain Range

And so, until they asked Merrebeveil, they hadn’t known that those on Alda’s side had been ined If they had known that Alda’s allies were in no state to start a war, they ht have taken action

And while the Gods solidified their defense, Farone somewhere else

“He was reciting so hi to provoke us As a result of the barrier being strengthened, even sound was blocked out, so fortunately, we didn’t knohat incantation he was reciting,” said Xerx

“Fortunately?” Fidirg repeated

“… If we knee er back,” Xerx spat, the anger and hatred that he felt for Farmaun made clear

He likely felt a sense of having been betrayed as his iven him power, only for Farmaun to become an enemy later

“After that, we decided that there was no tirown on their own,” said Mububujenge “I sent Divine Messages and gave ih, who became ing the races to stop the quarreling with one another, but that is another story”

It seemed that there was a hidden secret behind the ‘Wise Eih’s birth Budarion was silently surprised at the revelation of the truth surrounding his ancestor

“Ever since that tio, Farmaun has not shown himself It’s likely that he has been kept co the fire attribute in Zantark’s place, but… there is no guarantee that he will not show hiain,” said Xerx “After all, from e’ve heard froilant action, such as creating the organization that later became the Adventurers’ Guild”

“It see people efficiently andfuture familiar spirits and heroic spirits… to think that he would coather more followers,” said Zanalpadna

“It’s a cunning plan that puts even us evil Gods to sha with us, I would never have i like that”

Xerx, Zanalpadna and the other evil Gods shuddered as they realized how useful the Adventurers’ Guild founded by Farmaun was

“Eh? Was the Adventurers’ Guild created with that kind of intention?” Vandalieu asked

“No, I do not believe that there were such intentions,” Merrebeveil corrected theh in the end, one cannot say that the organization does not function in this way,” she added

It was true that as an end-result, the Adventurers’ Guild supported and stimulated the birth of heroes, and many such heroes became familiar spirits and heroic spirits of the Gods of Alda’s faction

But it was clear that it wasn’t an organization whose purpose was to provide new fighting forces for the Gods

A nuanizations similar to the Adventurers’ Guild had existed even before the Adventurers’ Guild was founded Even if Faranizations would likely have unified into a single, larger organization to take up the role that the Adventurers’ Guild served in today

Merrebeveil’s own hatred for Farmaun wasn’t s hiinary conspiracies that didn’t exist

“I see, so that’s how it is,” said Vandalieu, convinced by Merrebeveil’s explanation of this evidence

“So, it was a coincidence,” Xerx murmured “Still, even if he is our enee such conspiracies”

But nobody took notice, nobody could take notice, of the greatestFarmaun

Ravovifard, the evil God of release, of whoinally an evil God who had ae amount of power on the Dark Continent The reason he had ion enclosed by the Boundary Mountain Range on the Bahn Gaia continent was because he had fled froainst Zantark and the heroic God Faro

In other words, Zantark and Farh to cooperate and fight together as recently as a hundred years ago

Even Ravovifard himself didn’t knohether that alliance was a teainst him or whether Zantark and Farmaun had truly reconciled For hi’s army, those on Alda’s side and those on Vida’s side were both eneate the matter

However, Alda, the God of law and fate, had not departed fro the ’s army equally as enemies until recently

It would have been difficult for Farmaun to cooperate with Zantark, even te to Alda’s faction

Considering the above facts, it was highly likely that Far action on his own at some point after the war between Alda and Vida that took place a hundred thousand years ago, though it wasn’t clear when exactly this had happened

Thus, it was possible that when Farmaun had already left Alda’s faction when he appeared here fifty thousand years ago

But it was ie to come to this conclusion, and even if they did, it was even more impossible for them to believe it Not only that, but it would be difficult for theo and shake hands with him

So many of the Gods in Vida’s faction had been lost, after all

“Om, nom, nom”

Of course, Ravovifard, the only being who knew this, had now been completely annihilated

“… H the last of the food in his then the barrier to withstand a possible attack from Farmaun and the rest of Alda’s faction?”

The Gods nodded

“We are spending no sments, and we must always ency If we are freed fros will likely beco of the barrier,” said Xerx

“To put it frankly, they will provide you benefits with these various things that will beco you to do this”

“Apparently, they want to improve the barrier and ain”

“They’re saying, ‘help us,’” said Fidirg, explaining the Gods’ intentions for Vandalieu

An Elder Dragon with crystal horns that had reer “You bastard! Even if you are a God, an Elder Dragon like us at that, how dare you speak in such a… tone P-please stop” His shouting faded away, his voice losing all of its spirit

Because countless horns of the De had appeared all over Vandalieu’s body With their tips facing the Elder Dragon

At thatThe Elder Dragon had softened his tone, instinctively realizing that at this rate, he would go down the same path as Ravovifard

And then Fidirg hastily apologized to the Elder Dragon… Lioen, the crystal-horned dragon God

“M-ies, Lioen-dono”

“It seems that I said too much”

“I’ll be more careful from now on”

Fidirg understood that hi shouted at had caused Vandalieu to instinctively prepare himself for battle, but even so, he felt that it was necessary to reconcile by apologizing

“I-indeed I was also behaving immaturely Let us both be on God said

The De from Vandalieu’s body sloithdrew back into him

“The Dements are a source of power for me, and I canthem will lead to peace in this land, then there is no need for discussion I will take the this proposal, still completely oblivious to the fact that he had instinctively prepared for battle against the crystal-horned dragon God “But in exchange, I have so to request of all of you as well”

“W-what is it?” Lioen asked Vandalieu, as non to devour Gods, with a stiff voice Does he want my head? No, he wants me to hand over my flesh?

“Please lendof resurrecting her by creating a new body for her either by repairing Vida’s resurrection device or creating a Ho her soul in there, but…”

The crystal-horned dragon God let out a deep sigh of relief “S-so that is your request I’lad to hear that”

“… That?”

“No, no, no, I si and Zuruwarn-sama that you desire a way to resurrect yourtwisted horns ee from Vandalieu’s entire body once more

A these corrected words was an unexpected name

“Zuruwarn-sama?” Vandalieu repeated

Zuruwarn, the God of space and creation, one of the Gods who had likely helped in the Eighth Guidancereborn as Legion, and given his divine protection to them

Froht of him as an ally… or even if he wasn’t an ally, he was at least a friendly God, like Ricklent

But he was not ae Like the other Gods who had been the primary Gods of this world, Zuruwarn and Ricklent had lost their power and fallen into slu was defeated by Bellwood and his allies

The reason he was not here noas likely because the barrier put up by the Gods also prevented Zuruwarn and Ricklent fro as well

“Yes,” said Merrebeveil, perhaps wanting to avoid the crystal-horned dragon God fro any e fro at a Goddess a the other Gods with a tentacle

This Goddess had the appearance of a hue, si a brush and a scroll Thus, like Xerx, she stood out in this place that was filled with grotesque-looking Gods

“My name is Warnliza, the Goddess of maps, a subordinate God of Zuruwarn-saentle expression “I serve as the guardian Goddess of the High Goblins in place of a coratitude for saving rateful to Budarion and the children of Zanalpadna as well” She gave a bow, and then began to speak of the contents of the Divine Message that she had received froe that I received from Zuruwarn-saacy that lies in the deepest chaarn, the evil God of labyrinths A that could be called a weapon was a prototypethere that will make it possible for you to resurrect your mother”

The Divine Message had also told Warnliza what kind of being Vandalieu was, and that she should share this knowledge with the other Gods But it seemed that she had deemed it unnecessary to inform Vandalieu himself

Incidentally, Zanalpadna had sent a Divine Message to Queen Donaneris because she had received a Divine Message from Ricklent and Warnliza from Zuruwarn, and both of them had been told to inform their priests that Vandalieu would one day coe the Trial of Zakkart

“So Mom possible is in the deepest part of the Trial of Zakkart…” Vandalieu murmured

He had originally planned to venture into the Trial of Zakkart to look for the corpse of the adventurer who had been Heinz’s ally, but his objective had changed the moment he heard this information from Warnliza

He had to clear the Trial of Zakkart before Heinz at all costs

“So, ill the Trial of Zakkart next appear within this region enclosed by the Boundary Mountain Range?” he asked

He had to clear it, but he also had to do so about the suspicious events that had apparently been happening recently in the Sauron region, so if possible, he wanted to it be about a month or so away

It was Xerx who answered his question this time “It will probably be next year,” he said

It seemed that there was more time than Vandalieu had expected

“It should have appeared about half a o, but Ravovifard was likely wary of it,” Xerx continued “He interfered with the Teleportation of Gufadgarn, the evil God of labyrinths The next time it will appear is next year”

“If that is true, would the Dungeon not appear when the evil God of labyrinths learns of Ravovifard’s defeat?” Gizania asked, but it seeo that well

Zanalpadnanoise as she answered “Child of arn toin advance, so it no longer functions according to Gufadgarn’s will Ih a Divine Message froeon that would select Zakkart’s successor and began to roam the world, but his power does not extend beyond the inside of the Dungeon He has likely not even noticed that Ravovifard interfered with his spell”

It seemed that the Trial of Zakkart was in a state similar to autopilot as it disappeared and reappeared all over the world

“I wanted to make various preparations so it’s fine that there is some time, but it does make me anxious that it’s over a year away Do you knohere it e?” Vandalieu asked

He couldn’t get rid of this feeling of anxiety while knowing that Heinz, the S-class adventurer who led the Five-colored Blades, had his sights set on clearing the Trial of Zakkart

But the Gods, including Merrebeveil, told him that there was no need to worry

“That evil God hates the believers of the Gods in Alda’s faction from the depths of his heart There are apparently an uncountable nuned to obliterate those believers Even if that Heinz and his coeon for a second time, it would likely end in failure,” Merrebeveil said

“I see That’s a relief to hear Now then, could I have the Dements so that I can prepare to clear it?”

After Vandalieu and his coan re

“We warned you not to shout so ry abouthis mother, Lioen-dono,” said Merrebeveil

“M-ies,” Lioen said

“Fidirg, you said too much as well”

“I, too, apologize”

“Truly…”

“I’ll be careful from now on”

For the Gods, Vandalieu was their savior who had defeated Ravovifard, but at the same time, he was someone whom they were unsure how to handle

First of all, he was a mortal, not a God, but he possessed the power to kill Gods and more Mana than most Gods as well

Despite that, he generally showed respect for Gods as long as they were not hostile towards him like Ravovifard had been

But even the Gods that he respected could not give his such as their divine protections, as he possessed too much Mana

Even so, they would not havean ordinary relationshi+p between Gods and a ood when they, as Gods, had to request so fro as a reward

“As we are noe can’t even give him Artifacts, never mind divine protections Ricklent-sa anything is… aard, even if Vandalieu himself doesn’t realize it,” said Rishare

“That is e decided to build a friendly relationshi+p first and then find opportunities to repay the favor later… You should not talk to him so directly,” said Warnliza

“My apologies, Rishare-dono, Warnlizdono,” said Lioen “But to think that he would be enraged to that extent…”

“It is not that he was angry, Lioen-dono,” said Fidirg
