Chapter 187 (1/2)

The Dements that Vandalieu had absorbed into his body suddenly declaring the resurrection of the De into the Dereatly surprised Zantark, Farmaun and the rest of the Gods However, Sans of surprise or shock

“Bocchan, you have acquired another superior Skill Congratulations,” said Sa Even if it’s a Skill, isn’t it a bad thing?” said Vandalieu

“My lord, has there been any problems with your body since you awakened that Skill?” asked Bone Man

“Not in particular,” Vandalieu replied

He had been testing things out by covering his forearue into the De’s blood and horns, but he didn’t feel like anything was out of the ordinary

“Bocchan, are you hearing any mysterious voices in your head?” asked Saria

“Or ested Rita, trying to think of any likely scenarios

Vandalieu didn’t reply i himself

I don’t hear any voices

Vandalieu didn’t hear a voice that wasn’t his own, like the ti’s blood… it was possible that there were voices that were si silent to stay hidden, so he exa

Next, he tried using Out-of-body Experience to exaes to his body, but that didn’t see the De’s auxiliary brain, but he could not feel the De Guduranis’s will It seeht and the auxiliary brain was just a sub-brain responsible for controlling the body

Depending on hoas used, it was possible that activating the De’s auxiliary brain would allow Vandalieu to continue functioning even if his own brain was in a state where it could not be used

Also, it was possible that he could create a familiar with so the De the uses of the auxiliary brain aside… I don’t think there are any signs of anything like that I don’t hear any strange voices or feel any desires or urges,” Vandalieu reported

“Then there aren’t any problems!” said Rita

“But… it has becoments than before,” said Vandalieu “I can use them as if they really were extensions of my limbs or parts of ’s frag to say ‘activate’ out loud, but he had been using the martial skills

However, he felt like he could now use the out with his hand The ah the Mana cost was still ridiculously vast for an ordinary person

Perhaps Vandalieu would beco! Congratulations!” said Saria

It seemed that there weren’t any probleh? Vandalieu wondered, giving a sigh of relief as he looked up at Zantark and the Kijin ancestor, who had been holding the last fragment that he had absorbed

Zantark let out a roar

“Zantark says, ‘Your companions seem to be unconcerned, so you’re probably fine’ I think the same,” said Farmaun “In fact, the properties of your Mana when you activated the fragments felt different from Guduranis’s to me”

The words of Zantark, the war-God of fire and destruction who had once faced the De, and Far, see The tension was released from the shoulders of the Majin ancestor and Lafaz, the bird beast-king

But the Majin ancestor didn’t seem to be completely relieved “Farmaun, since you’re one of the three who defeated the De, what are these differences in the quality of the Mana?” he asked “All I know of the Dements, so I can’t tell”

“If you don’tGuduranis’sthat opposed its flow and eat into anything it touched,” Farht be only natural that I felt that way since ere enemies”

“Those ere not his eneressiveness in the De ruled over those beneath hiarn, a for Farmaun’s words

“I see… In co to it,” said Fare?” Vandalieu repeated

“Yeah,” said Far around me, but it’s not particularly unpleasant, if you knohat I mean”

It seemed that Vandalieu’s Mana had sticky properties

Incidentally, there were two s to the ‘properties’ of an individual’s Mana One was the talents possessed by the owner of the Mana, such as their affinity to the attributes and their suitability for alcheic

The other definition was the properties that distinguished the owner, siic Iteuished their owners fro properties

Thus, it was a great relief to be told this by Farmaun, a heroic God

However, it seeon God that Pauvina and Oniwaka had been trying to keep calm, had lost consciousness from terror

“Van, Luves has fainted,” said Pauvina

“W-what do we do?!” said Oniwaka

“… I’m sure he’s tired Let’s allow him to rest for a while,” said Vandalieu

“Yeah, you’re right,” said Pauvina, lifting Luvesfol up and carrying hiainst the ground along the way

Luvesfol had lost consciousness, but this was the moment that it was decided that Vandalieu and his companions would take him with the, so it seemed that they didn’t mind

“He deserves to be punished like the other Elder Dragons that Schneider defeated I a you the trouble,” Tiamat said afterwards, however

An enored fro sy a Sheep Worently wrapped and coiled himself around Luvesfol

“Van-kun, didn’t you say before that the Dee into?” said Orbia

“With that being the case, it isn’t a big deal that you acquired the Skill,” said Princess Levia

“… Now that you ht For now, I’ll inspect the exact effects of the Skill little by little,” said Vandalieu

And so, time passed peacefully around the apparently resurrected (second) De

Meanwhile, the Divine Real shaken

“My lord, the De preserved by the Churches have all beco similar reports from other Gods!”

The hues, and Alda had loosened his control over the light attribute to cause a total solar eclipse in order to secure Eileek’s position as pope

Alda had explained the effects that this would have to the other Gods beforehand During the eclipse, soments and evil Gods that had been sealed would be stiht be released

That hy he had conducted a near-perfect investigation into the evil Gods and fragainst them He had ensured that any incidents in the Adom could be dealt with

Alda’s forces could not see the Dark Continent or inside the Boundary Mountain Range; if anything happened there, Zantark and the other Gods of Vida’s faction would deal with them, and it would not bother Alda and his allies if they suffered great losses doing so In fact, it would be convenient if they did

However, soments once more, a month after the solar eclipse

“My lord, could this be another effect of the solar eclipse?” one of the Gods asked

“No, it has already been a ine that this is an effect of the eclipse,” said Alda

“Then, o Alda, is there a possibility that the frag?” asked another God

“That is i Guduranis into countless pieces; those pieces had transformed into various different body parts and each of the’s resurrection

It was true that they had once been Guduranis, a singular being, but now that they were separated and separately sealed away, it should have been impossible for the , Vandalieu,” said Alda, without any doubt in his words

He was right

The seals on the De was because of Vandalieu’s De on the Dark Continent

“We rounds of the Churches, suppressing the fragments until they become quiet once more,” said Alda “We must also confirments that have been directly sealed by the Gods, and the frag equipment”

Familiar spirits flew off to deliver Alda’s commands to the other Gods, and they soon returned with inforrounds have been successfully suppressed! The fragment seals es It see equipment is unaffected However, we have not confir equipment”

Alda felt bitter about the last report De the seals on frag them to be wielded as terrible weapons

These had been created either through the experiments of a mad alche’s ared Dee their seals back to their original for Dements as Orichalcu equip that thesuch equipment was lost, and that it could not be modified any further

However, it could not be said that Deainst Vandalieu; they knew this from the battle between Vandalieu and the ‘Five-headed Snake’ Ervine, one of the Fifteen Evil-breaking Swords

With that inequipment away as soon as possible, but this could not be easily achieved, as De equipanizations

But it was good that they had been unaffected for now

“Each of you, observe the seals’ behavior We cannot directly interfere with seals that are not on holy grounds… those that are in the hands of organizations that merely call themselves churches and those that have been abandoned in ruins We shall dispatch humans as necessary,” said Alda

The familiar spirits dispersed once s should be dealt with for the moment

“… Curatos, what do you think of this incident?” asked Alda, addressing one of his closest aides a the subordinate Gods that served hireat Alda,” said Curatos, shaking his head “I can offer only guesses as to e find ourselves in this unprecedented situation”

“I shall hear them,” said Alda

“Very well… I believe that this situation is the result of le host, more than has ever been seen before”

“I see That is the ‘ht that it would be the De’s soul, the majority of which wedecided that it would be dangerous to seal the De of the relatively uni’s soul, such as the De’s memories, to Rodcorte

Rodcorte was a specialist when it ca souls, and even in the worst-case scenario of the De out of control, it would be unable to ht that the ‘’s soul

“I believe that my theory is correct And if it is, then the ‘main body’ is unmistakably Vandalieu,” said Curatos

To Alda and his allies, Vandalieu was a being that disturbed the order of the current world, an enemy that needed to be defeated Now, this enemy had become evenin the trial I gave them?” Alda asked

“It seems that they have set foot on the thirtieth floor,” said Curatos “I reproduced the monsters of the same races as Vandalieu’s subordinates and themy records Heinz’s party has defeated these monsters, but…”

Curatos, the God of records, recorded the vast amount of information possessed by Alda’s forces In his Divine Realm, he was able to create reproductions of these records

Using this ability, he had recreated monsters and eon’ to train Heinz and his companions These reproductions could not be told apart fro, but when they were defeated, they vanished like illusions This hy they did not leave any ic Stones behind

And this was also why Heinz and his companions remained unharmed no matter how many times they were defeated Every time they left the ‘town,’ Curatos would place their consciousnesses inside replicas of their bodies created from his records

No matter how severely they ounded in battle and how ed, they were merely replicas created from Curatos’s records Their real bodies and equipainst descended heroic spirits with only their consciousnesses in recreated bodies… It will take them much time to reach the 108th floor at this rate,” Alda reat Alda, shall we make the trial a little easier?” Curatos asked

“No, continue the trial as it is, Curatos,” said Alda “It would be less if we loosen the pressure on the the crucial battle We need Heinz and his companions… Heinz, to become at least as powerful as Bellwood”

“As you wish I will recreate the ’s army on the thirty-first floor as planned

Vandalieu and his companions proceeded to the city near the volcanic area that had become Zantark’s Divine Realm It was a city inhabited by Kiryujin that possessed the traits of Drakonids and Kijin, Maryujin that possessed the traits of Drakonids and Majin, and a s to Vida’s other races

The population of the city was about fifty thousand Like the city-states insides the Boundary Mountain Range, the inhabitants conducted fareons, while the trained warriors hunted monsters This was how these people lived

The Kiryujin and Maryujin population was large compared to the population of the Majin nation inside the Boundary Mountain Range, but that was likely because there was no place for the Grounds; all of them remained conscious and active

After Vandalieu and his coarding things like teleportation to and fro Borkus and the others come fro abroad here
