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

“It was simply a reflex to prepare for battle”

“I think he was probably nothing more than a little annoyed”

Fidirg had once alered hiht that what the Gods had witnessed earlier could not be described as anger

It had been an unconscious reaction, siuard

Though the way that this reaction had manifested was extreme

“… A countless nue frohtly if those were to impale me,” said Lioen

“That is because it is his bare, exposed soul The frag that reside in him have already fused and become one with his soul Therefore, they surface more easily when he does not possess a physical body,” said Warnliza

The frag Guduranis that resided within Vandalieu had already transfor, but at the same time, they were not

They were already a part of Vandalieu Even if the De’s horns would not return to Guduranis

Because they had fused with Vandalieu to such an extent, they reacted sensitively in response to his emotions

“Then should we not have invited hie?” Xerx asked

Mububujenge’s lumps of flesh squir that we should have su any reason, even though my Church is so close by?”

“… If ere to tell hiround to stand on,” Xerxa human, ‘We are scared and would like to conduct this audience in another nation, so pleasethere,’ would be even round

“Leaving that aside, let us each do e can as Gods”

“For exareed to previously”

“… For the sake of Vidsama, ill awaken one day”

“For the sake of victory in the battle against Alda that will eventually come”

“For the sake of our children, who are being oppressed even now”

“We acknowledge this being as a champion,” the Gods said in unison

『The Levels of the Superhueneration, Autoue), Enhanced Agility, Body Extension (Tongue), Surpass Li Fusion Skills have increased!』

『Your Vitality has increased by 5,000!』

『You have acquired the De’s Chin, the De’s Proboscis, the De’s Exoskeleton and the Des!』

『The De’s Chin have fused into the De’s Jaws!』

『You have acquired the title of ‘Champion!’』

Vandalieu felt dizzy as he heard the announcer in his head going on and on the eon

It seemed that the announcer’s voice was not played for those in a pure-soul state

“are you alright?” asked Myuze, supporting Vandalieu as he staggered

“I’ head “I’h… I wonder why the Levels of ? And my Vitality increased, too And I suppose the title is fro me by this title?”

He questioned why his Skills had ih he couldn’t think of what could have caused it He had done aleon, too

Was it because of that delicious food?

In ranted the wisdoer life or even immortality when eaten I think they were called pan tao peaches, soma and amrita, Vandalieu recalled

TLN: Pan tao peaches appear in Chineseearly Indians; a the sa as the word ‘ambrosia’

That food had to be of a similar kind

“Come to think of it, what kind of meat could that have been?” Vandalieu wondered

“… Wasn’t it the sealed Ravovifard?” said Godwin

“No, no, there’s no way that’s possible… is there?”

Far too late, Vandalieu became aware that he had eaten an evil God

A group of people concealing their faces with thick, dark-green cloths around their heads ran through the land that had formerly been the Scylla territory, now occupied by the resistance organization known as the Sauron Liberation Front

They were fast and had no wasteful motions in their movement

They were members of the Hilt, the lower branch of the Fifteen Evil-breaking Swords, the prided secret organization of the Amid Empire

Their main mission was to support theinfor noas also a part of their job

But gathering infor the resistance should have been the work of the soldiers of Duke Mar Swords to be dispatched, not the work of the Hilt

Even Duke Marme had likely known that he would lose tooto the Fifteen Evil-breaking Swords

But his aration had completely run into a dead end

Mages trying to scout the area frooneother than the existence of monoliths and stone circles that hadn’t existed before the area came under resistance occupation

They had tried forround level, but not a single one of them had returned

Perhaps having been driven insane by this utter lack of results, there had even beenthat they take woes to use as meat shi+elds as they searched for the enemy

There had been no expectations placed on Duke Marin with, but this was too terrible

That hy the Hilt had conducted their own investigation without permission from Duke Marme’s army But they hadn’t produced results, either

“… Is it around here where communication with them was cut off?”

“Unlike before, there are no n of anyone around, or any evidence of fighting”

Two platoons had already been lost

The Dirk unit had approached a ate it, the monolith that had been turned into a Gole’s ink, had taken the half of them down The survivors that had returned with this inforns of mental illness

This had made it clear that some or perhaps all of the ative effects on the mind, but attack those who approached them carelessly

And as for the Dagger unit, their regular communications had stopped and none of them had returned

But that in itself was important inforer unit, then so connected to the resistance had to be around this area

The leader of the Scinal to search for evidence

“Are you people allies of the guys who ca siht, isn’t it?” a deep voice suddenly said fro

The members of the Hilt in the Scimitar unit immediately scattered and spread out They didn’t do pointless things like look up reflexively and shout, “Who’s there?!”

Miles’s lips that were painted with a vividly-colored lipstick rose in a ferocious smile as he saw their swift uys who caive us inforive you special treatment, you know?”

The response to this offer was having knives thrown at him

As they were knives designed to be thrown, their blades were small, but they were coated in poison Miles avoided theround of his own accord

“I see, so your answer is the sauys from last time Then… I’ll kill you!”

The round, he broke into a fierce sprint The members of the Hilt responded with the cold, hard resolve that could be expected froanization

The h co Miles would be difficult for them Thus, they had come prepared with the resolve that only one member would run and return alive with information, while the rest would become sacrificial pawns to buy time

“… Consecutive Throw!”

“KIEEEEEH!”

Two of them deliberately made themselves conspicuous and attacked Miles Their weapons were coated in a deadly black poison, and even an experienced warrior who could see their intentions would be unable to ignore them

But Miles charged straight towards the throwing knives, still s!”

He swung his extended claws and slashed through the torso of the first Hiltthe chest of the second one who had been throwing knives with Overar

“a Va the day, how?!” shouted a third member of the Hilt in surprise as he realized what Miles was after seeing hihter two of his companions in the blink of an eye with his claws

Miles’s expression was co knives coated in a poison that should have had immediate effect

And as Miles turned to face him, the third Hilt member dropped his knives and raised his hands above his head “W… wait I understand, I’ll surrender I’ll tell you everything I know So spare my life –”

“Flying Claw Slash” Miles’s Unar Techniqueinto the air

“… He said that he would surrender,” said Iris, appearing from the direction in which the fourthfrom her hand, its blade stained crimson

Miles gave a cynical laugh, giving the headless corpse of the third Hilt ht kick “That’s just one of the uys use If they believe that they can’t win, one will try to escape and the rest will become sacrificial pawns to buy ti, and once they fail, the last sacrificial paill surrender And once I approach, he would use an explosive Magic Item to blow hiinning Self-destructive Magic Ites that can be easily mass-produced, after all”

“That is… enviable Ordinary organizations would not be capable of this Do you know these people, Miles-dono?”

assassins and spies that coht in order to protect their secrets were not uncoic Item that would end her own life

But this behavior was a result of the deter forced upon the anization

The noble-born Vampire Miles had once worked secretly in the underworld as the Pure-breed Vampire Gubamon’s subordinate, so Iris wondered if he had come across these kinds of people before, but that didn’t seem to be the case

“No I reported it, didn’t I? I killed five people that seemed to be either spies or assassins the day before yesterday Those guys and these guys had the sa the sa about how h the day before yesterday

He had ended up killing all of theht up in the explosion of the one blowing hi the one who had run away; it had been quite the ordeal

“I see…” said Iris

“It’s good that I’ beco Skill doesn’t respond to sers It’s quite troublesome,” said Miles

“So, what about their spirits?” Iris asked

“Iuys had talismans of Alda sewed onto the insides of their clothes Unless we strip their clothes off before we kill them, their spirits ascend thetheh Knocking the them is impossible Of course, nobody can question their spirits except Boss, and I can’t see ordinary spirits even after beco an Abyssal Vampire”

“So, these are anti-Vandalieu-dono s well-hidden, but…”

Iris had thought that she had kept Vandalieu’s involve that would always be leaked sooner or later

“That’s probably right; I want hiular reports, things will be cal down over there soon,” said Miles

“Well then, let us return for now,” said Iris

“What are we going to do with these bodies? It’s possible that there could be so at the corpses lying on the ground

But Iris shook her head “They’re the kind of people who carry Magic Items for self-destruction and talismans It would be pointless to exa their employers where they are have been embedded all over their bodies”

Neither she nor Miles noticed the sed insect, about the size of the tip of a person’s finger, that was attached to her hair

“They’re the kind of people who carry Magic Items for self-destruction and talismans It would be pointless to exa their employers where they are have been embedded all over their bodies”

“Bububuh… Close,” said the ‘Insect Swar Swords, chuckling as he heard Iris’s words through the insect that he had planted on one of the Hilt members “My insects transmit not only your location, but sound as well… bububuh”

The small insect planted on the Scimitar unit of the Hilt delivered information to its master

Monster explanation:

【Majin】

The following is froardless of the truth, this is how the Majin race is perceived in human societies

They are a race born between Vida, the Goddess of life and love, and an evil God whose naotten in the present era

Their appearances have characteristics that differ between individuals; the only features they have in common are two horns and a tail with a pointed tip

Other features, such as the color of their skin, the nus, vary wildly

The Majin are broadly separated into the following categories Battle-Majin Vandals, who are berserkers that possess sturdy, large bodies Obscene-Majin Succubi and Incubi, who possess a devilish beauty and suck the life out of their victims Beast-Majin Diablo, who possess res, the most numerous type, who are physically sturdy but inept in the use of ic

But these are categories defined and naorize themselves in this way

Other than the Kijin, the Majin are at reater, and it is speculated that the Majin race’s base Rank also varies from individual to individual

Many Battle-Majin are Rank 7 or greater, while Obscene-Majin and Beast-Majin are Rank 6 And Kin are Rank 4 These are thought to be their average strengths

Other than Kijin, Majin are gifted not only physically but also when it coic, and they often possess a variety of other special abilities as well

Most Majin do not have li as there are no external factors to cause death But in exchange, they have a poor ability to reproduce They are capable of conducting a ritual to transform members of other races into members of their own race to make up for this, but unlike the Vampires who use this process to rapidly increase their numbers, the Majin rarely conduct this ritual

But there have been exao that those charmed by Obscene-Majin are transformed into Majin themselves

Also, the Majin as a race possess an ability that allows them to use Deulated and materialized, and they oftenthese Demons This fact led to a deeply-rooted theory in the past that the Majin race was a superior race of De years of study carried out by researchers

Kijin, on the other hand, have lie, but in return have a superior ability to reproduce Because their biology differs so greatly, there is a theory that they are of a different race froether, but Kijin and Majin often build a system where they cooperate with one another and other types of Majin often lead large groups of Kijin, so the more widely-supported theory is that the Kijin are an inferior race, or a subordinate race, to the Majin

But such theories are irrelevant for adventurers The i is that Majin are powerful but their bodies are treasure chests of redients for an enoric Items and ained froon Slayer’ title

According to another theory, the male parent of the Majin race’s ancestor is Zantark, the war-God of fire and destruction who fused with an evil God, and the Majin themselves adhere to this theory, but the Church of every God denies it
