Chapter 179 (2/2)
These three adventurers were the reincarnated individuals who had written Vandalieu a letter
The Elf girl who see theirl was the ‘Aegis’ Melissa J Saoto Atlas
After separating froin, they had separated froain in Lambda, the one led by the ‘Chronos’ Murakaht There’s a liic, so let’s head back to the town teets really cold,” said Melissa
“Hmm, I suppose it cannot be helped I want to keep the chances of the townspeople noticing e’re doing as low as possible, but there is no point if we freeze to death,” said Kanako “Let’s try again after we make all the preparations for winter”
“So, you intend to keep going in winter as well after all?” Doug asked incredulously
“Of course,” Kanako replied, giving a strong-willed nod “We will keep going until we get a response froh “It feels like we’re on a deserted island, trying to get help by putting letters into e the a response are higher than that,” said Melissa “What coh”
The trio had separated from Murakami and the others who had accepted Rodcorte’s request to kill Vandalieu The objective of Kanako and her companions was to defect to Talosheim, the nation ruled by Vandalieu
The three of them had died in their previous lives to death-attribute Mana that had gone out of control They did not believe that they could win against Vandalieu
With that being the case, the erous place to be in this world ith Murakami, who intended to fulfil Rodcorte’s request and kill Vandalieu Thus, the safest place in the world was by Vandalieu’s side
They had also decided that it would be dangerous to try and keep thein, they had pretended to be allies of the Eighth Guidance, orshi+pped Vandalieu, and later betrayed them They had also been present when the ‘Death Scythe’ Konoe Miyaji attacked Vandalieu
It wouldn’t be strange for Vandalieu to already consider theht cause Vandalieu and his allies to be more wary of them and chase them down persistently
If that was the case, wouldn’t they be ainst the ground and kissing his feet to surrender than bya poor attempt to hide?
That hat the three of them believed
They also believed that even if they were not accepted into Talosheim, Vandalieu would not chase after them once they told him that they had no hostile intentions towards hi toup with a plan that’s n outside the place?” said Doug
“No way,” said Kanako, rejecting this suggestion in”
“Why not?” Doug asked, frowning but not angry
“Because once we go past the sign, the Undead will acknowledge us as enemies It’s uncertain that they will relay our words to hiht pick up the letters that we threw And, according to ru demon inside,” said Kanako
“And if we stay on this side of the sign and don’t do anything hostile, we’ll be safe,” Melissa added “We’ve already talked about this Did you forget?”
What Kanako and Melissa spoke of was the infor the adventurers of the Sauron Duchy ever since Vandalieu occupied the for past the sign at the boundary of the for Duke Marme’s army, and none of them had returned
However, all of those who had not stepped past the sign had returned safely
From this information, the Guilds had deteras one did not step past the sign
However, these three were reincarnated individuals Even now, despite going against Rodcorte’s desires, they could use their cheat-like abilities normally, and still possessed his divine protection and fortune
Over a year had passed since they began going through job changes at the Adventurers’ Guild, and their abilities were getting close to those of class adventurers
As long as the e to hold their own against Rank 4 and 5 Undead But what the trio feared was not fighting against Undead
“The worst-case scenario is if we accidentally defeat soht? I ree for the Undead if we defeat the
This was the scenario that Kanako feared the most In any other part of the world, nobody would think of taking revenge for Undead
No, the same would be true even if they weren’t Undead A nation’s leader would have to be e sentries that had been dispatched on the frontlines
But Kanako and her coh it had only been for a short while From what they had seen, they didn’t think that this would be out of the question In that city, Undead s cups of alcohol together
And from the information that they had received fro the bonds of trust with theic existed, Undead appeared on very rare occasions However, with only two exceptions, Undead were nothingas their prey, or insane creatures that unleashed their hatred upon everything in sight
One of those exceptions was the one with the codena used as experi an Undead… Vandalieu himself
The second was the Zombie soldiers that had been created by Isis and cohth Guidance who had been rescued by the Undead At least while they were under Valkyrie’s command, the Zoht with sophisticated coordination
The death attribute was involved in both of those exceptions With that being the case, the Undead affected by the death attribute in Lambda should be treated in the sa with the reasons for their appearance That hat Kanako, Doug and Melissa had decided upon
“It doesn’t seeh,” said Melissa
“That’s probably because they decided that Vandalieu and the Eighth Guidance are crazy, even before thinking things through about the Undead,” said Doug, taking a skewer and taking a bite of the perfectly-roasted meat “When you watch Zo fuss about how Zombies are just sick humans so they can be treated and returned to nori and Murakami, Vandalieu just looks like one of those characters They think that if Vandalieu isthem act like they have personalities That what Valkyrie was doing was like playing with dolls, and what Vandalieu is doing is no different”
Melissa and Kanako stared at Doug
“Doug, haven’t you become smarter than you were in your previous life?” said Kanako
“Perhaps this world’s food has soood for the brain,” said Melissa
“… I see exactly what you guys think of hed
“No, no, it was a very interesting view on things,” said Kanako
“Playing with dolls is a terrible way to put it! It is the real thing!” said a voice fro and Melissa froze And then they noticed that two people were present on the very edge of the light of their campfire
In a way, these tere people that they knew, but at the sa
“I-it see ti to recover fro ti the time when I destroyed ‘Death Scythe,’ it’s been ten years? No, you weren’t there when I was killed in my previous life, so has it been thirty years?”
“For us, it has been a year and a fewenough to say ‘long tiain… or so it’s socially polite to say, isn’t it?”
The tco a casual chat
“I’ll introducethe black cloak is Legion, ere previously the Eighth Guidance You’re the ‘Venus’ Kanako-san, the one over there is ‘Aegis’ Melisssan and he’s the ‘Hecatoncheir’ Doug-san, is that correct?”
Having seen the letter that Kanako’s group had apparently written, Vandalieu had decided to meet them and talk
Of course, he had considered the possibility that the letter was a trap He had only called out to the preparations
“Incidentally, I have already told , several hundred Undead will flood into this forest,” Vandalieu said
“I mean, it’s only normal to be that wary By the hy did I hear voices that sounded like Valkyrie and Isis froion-san?” Kanako asked
“We’re being considerate towards you Our current appearance is very shocking,” said Legion
They had used the Form Alteration and Size Alteration Skills to transforh shape and size of a human, then put on a hood and cloak to conceal their appearance This was done out of consideration for Kanako and her cohten them
Vandalieu had come here to hear what they had to say, so it would have been proble
“So, about your desire to defect… Why do you want to do that?” Vandalieu asked his fored from who she hen she was on Earth except for her appearance and age
It wasn’t as if Vandalieu had been particularly close to her, but she seemed to be the leader of the trio, and he hadn’t ever spoken to the other two reincarnated individuals since their time on Earth, either
However, it was aled drastically since she was Vandalieu’s classmate
“When ‘Death Scythe’ attackeda cross with your arms,” Vandalieu added
That act had been quite coed
“Ah, you noticed! I’lad The truth is, we cut our ties with Muraka
On the other hand, she also felt that Vandalieu was a completely different person fro on the inside
This was so words with him directly, but it wasn’t just his appearance… his very existence had transfor and survived a lot of battles, but even then, he was able to approach us without us noticing assu that’s a death-attribute spell… Even if you take that out of the picture, I don’t think we could defeat hiht
Kanako and her companions had trained in military-style close-quarters combat Even fro Vandalieu was bizarre
He waslack of openings His appearance was younger than them… it was that of a child But Kanako couldn’t feel any sense of inexperience about hiher than ours Not only for unars as well Well, he is definitely a senpai when it coion? That one’s presence is strange, too
These were not ones to turn into eneulfed in Vandalieu and Legion’s presence, becah explanation of how they had died after the Eighth Guidance iped out She kept quiet about sootiation later, however, such as the fact that the ‘Avalon’ Rikudou Hijiri was the one who had been pulling the strings on everything
“H to research the death attribute, then collecting all that death wasn’t a waste It’s unfortunate that it ended up being so like an indiscriminate act of terror, but that wasn’t the result of our intentions,” said Pluto
“Yes, that’s why the three of us thought that we don’t want to make you our enemy, because we don’t want to die any Kanako and Melissa aside, I feel a little strange about Doug thinking that way You were soion asked
“… That voice, it’s Shade, isn’t it? It’s true that I like fighting But that wasn’t a fight; it was more like a catastrophic disaster No different fro “And battles are fought in order to win I’ht when there is no chance of winning”
Legion were actively engaging in conversation with Kanako, Doug and Melissa This was to make sure that there were no lies in their words
Because Legion had worked with them for several years, they knew theroup because they knew that they would becoain in the future
The saroup, but it seemed that Kanako and her coion
It seemed that they had accepted that they could hear ion, but they were surprised that there was no anger or hatred in their tone and behavior
However, Kanako and her co their hesitation, Vandalieu changed the topic
“I see I understand your story,” he said “In other words, you have nothing to do with the three people who are still hiding over there, right?”
“There’s someone there?!”
Kanako and her co, but… after a fewthemselves to the fact that they had been detected, three e stepped out of the trees’ shadows
“Man, ere trying to find a good ti tie Masher’ Asagi Minami, with a bitter smile on his face

Race explanation (Written by Luciliano):
Ghoul Aends, a Ghoul Amazoness Queen is a queen who commands a female-only pack of Ghoul As in human society Even in the Ghoul nation in the Boundary Mountain Range, there have apparently been several Ghoul Amazonesses, but no queen has ever been confirmed to exist
In terms of appearance, they may appear to be not much different from Ghoul Amazonesses, Ghoul Amazoness Geronimos or Ghoul Amazoness Chiefs, but… It is possible that Basdia, the only Ghoul Aed because of her large body that was originally 190c of Basdia’s individual strength, she has not awakened any superior Skills, but her abilities are in the realm of class adventurers With equipments, she would be unlikely to lose to an ordinary class adventurer
Though it is lie as it only affects Ghoul wothen Followers Skill, and she hopes to become a commander in the future
Incidentally, the Job named ‘Demon Axe Blade’ that she has acquired is one that has not been discovered in human society, but it is already known to the Kijin nation It is apparently a Job that can be acquired by a woh-Level Axe Technique Skill and the divine protection of Garess, the God of battle flags who is the guardian deity of the Kijin nation
