Chapter 189 (1/2)
The Amid Empire’s northern vassal nation, the iron-nation of Marested, it was a nation with numerous ore mines In a forest so, a deep crease appearing between his eyebrows
“It would be a good present if we could recover it, and it wouldn’t do to let it go and have it wander into the hidden village, so I supposed it can’t be helped… But what are we doing defending the peace of a nation that we’ve decided to truly abandon, a nation that’s soon to become our enemy?” he wondered out loud
In front of hi wrapped in a thin, cloth-like sheet ofthe creature a powerful blow from his knee
“Schna, I know it’s thin, but this is an Orichalcum seal I think you would have to hit harder if you want it to feel anything,” said Lissana, looking exasperated
“If I hit it harder, the seal would break and the fragment would escape froh to know that, then don’t kick it It’s dangerous”
Dalton atching this exchange through narrowed eyes “By the hy aren’t we sealing it nor the host first?” he asked “It’s a pain and even dangerous to seal it while the host is still alive, right? It’s not someone we really don’t want to kill, either”
Indeed, the ordinarywas to kill the host and seal the fragment that was inside the host’s body It was unheard of to seal a fragment with the host still alive
The reason it was unheard of was because it was needlessly dangerous to do so There was no knoay of separating the frag the host alive, so the host could never be returned to their original state And if the seal lasted a long period of time, the host would eventually die in the end
On top of that, the host of this particular frag was not even a hu in the ruin the fragment had been sealed in Needless to say, Schneider and his companions were not acquainted with it or had any prior relationshi+p whatsoever
That hy Dalton was questioning this ht be able to reht it would be perfect to test whether he can, using this host that ouldn’t be upset about if he failed,” Schneider said, answering Dalton’s question “I’ll be carrying it myself, and I’ll dispose of it the ht?”
But even if Schneider went this far, it was unclear as to whether Vandalieu was even interested in being able to extract frag theiven what Schneider had heard froht that Vandalieu would have an interest in it
“Well then, let us carry this and join up with Zod and the others,” said Lissana “Do you knohereabouts he is now?”
“According to the wind spirits… he’s apparently fighting with a group of monsters on the other side of this ood ever since he becaoing and join in!”
“Hey, are you planning to e thing? Jeez,me,” said Schneider
“… Isn’t that because you just used it to kick a Dement host wrapped in Orichalcum?” Lissana pointed out
And so, Schneider and his co, suppressed a ress with their plan ofthe members of Vida’s races on the A ca in Vida’s Divine Real in individual Skills such as archery, using a dagger and ainst her instructor – the heroic spirit Veld who had once been a Dha in Vida’s Resting Grounds, including Elper and Godwin’s grandain…” Darcia murmured, crestfallen
“Of course you did,” said Veld with a stiff expression “Even considering the fact that your sense of time is faster, ill not be defeated by you after less than a year of training I am a heroic spirit as once a mercenary, and the others are all mythical monsters who are all Rank 13 or above”
Indeed, Darcia’s opponents in her mock battles were all foes that none other than S-class adventurers would even stand a chance against Being unable to defeat such opponents was nothing to be upset about
In fact, I’d like her to be prouder of the fact that she is even able to engage in ht
If Darcia was in the state that she had been while alive and tried to block a single attack from Veld or any of the Pure-breed Va away
The fact that she was able to repeatedly engage in
Her soul alone is this powerful, so there’s no telling what she will be like once that body of hers is co fro completion Once she was resurrected inside it, Veld had the feeling that she would be so powerful that he would not be able to defeat her without bringing out his true strength
Not that he intended to ever engage in real battle against the parent of a real monstrosity
“Now that theof the soul is next There, off you go,” said Veld
“That’s right Coesture
“Yes, Vidsa in front of Vida
“Veld, why don’t you join as well?” Vida suggested
“I shall hu the situation
This was how it alent
“By the way, Vidsa of the soul?” asked Darcia as she and Vida sat down facing each other and holding each other’s hands as they always did
This training of the soul was being in contact with Vida and exchanging less conversation That was all
Of course, it was a great honor to directly face and hold the hands of Vida, one of the eleven great Gods who had created the world and thethe Dark Elves
But Darcia felt like this wasn’t quite the sa to Vida, Darcia’s soul was training itself during this process
“This is very, very ireatest blessing that I can give you By th witha snive you a complicated explanation, so it’s better to just relax Don’t think, just feel”
“alright,” said Darcia, trusting in Vida’s judg her senses
As she did, she felt like she was being enveloped by Vida’s war well?” Darcia asked “He was talking to me today as well, but it seems that lately it’s his spirit form rather than his physical body…”
Vandalieu was unaware that Darcia was training in Vida’s Divine Realm, but she could hear the words he spoke to her physical body inside the capsule
Thus, even though Darcia had beco… She was surprised to hear that he had beco that he was lively as usual
However, she had the feeling that Vandalieu’s voice hadn’t been co from his physical body as of late Her son often used Out-of-body Experience to create clones of hie
“Let’s see, lately he’s… healthy and growing a little too fast,” said Vida, revealing that sorowing big like Pauvinchan?!” Darcia exclai that much!” said Vida “It’s just that… he’s kind of surpassed the li’s alright,” said Darcia, giving a sigh of relief “I thought that e Vandalieu that everyone saw in their drearown that big physically; he’s just a few centily
While Darcia and Vida were having their conversation, Vandalieu was lying limp in Eleanora’s arms To either side of her was Bell’ Jeena, the Undead titan who had been a hero of the for at Vandalieu orried expressions on their faces
“Vandalieu-saht? Isn’t it best for you to have some rest?” said Eleanora
Vandalieu’s eyes were half-closed and his breaths were ragged Eleanora was repeatedly pressing her fingers against his neck to test for a pulse, because if it weren’t for that, it really seemed like he was dead
“No, it’s not like I’m sick or injured,” said one of the spirit-form Vandalieus that seemed perfectly healthy, unlike his body “It see pains”
This was the reason behind Vandalieu’s body lying li Shashuja, he had felt pain all over his body
He had thought that it was just muscular pain at first, but his body had become completely immobile the next day
“I was pretty surprised,” remarked one of the spirit clones “My body wouldn’t e state whereas well as my muscles, but I was still lively,” said another
“It wasn’t poison, illness or a curse, so Disinfect and Sterilization didn’t have any effect either,” said a third
“So, as your physical body cannotwith your spirit forh Out-of-body Experience?” Bellh “Personally, I would prefer you rest if your body cannot ree,” said Eleanora “I don’t kno ration applicants will coo so far”
In response to the two Varoan and grimaced She was the one who had examined Vandalieu “It should be better for His-Majesty-kun to not push hi like extre his spirit for himself, since nobody can do it other than his in Talosheirants led by Schneider and his party, the Stor the walls that were nu lus and putting the buildings together
The building construction tasks excluding theperfor thethe role of heavy liftinga crucial role
“But it seems like they’ll be here before my eleventh birthday I want to at least have a foundation in place by then,” said Vandalieu’s spirit clone “I can’t have them stay inside Knochen or put Cuatro in the ay for them to stay there”
A skeleton fro luroan as if to say, “I don’t mind that”
Now a Rank 11 Bone Palace, Knochen was already larger than Talosheied itself properly and furniture was brought in, it would beco complex that could comfortably house a thousand families
If the Four Dead Sea Captains and the other sailors were to vacate the ghost shi+p Cuatro, it could also house a significant nuh not as ht be cruel to ask the hopeful i all of a sudden Cuatro ht, but Knochen is just roan
“I’ht be hard for people who aren’t used to you!” Eleanora added hastily
Talosheim’s citizens were already sufficiently accusto disturbed But although the hopeful irants were members of Vida’s races, they were not this accustohly likely that they would be scared even of skulls, which weren’t scary as they didn’t have any expressions
… It was possible that soht be soldiers and warriors ere used to seeing theht of skulls for a different reason
“Dannsa to expand the city’s urban area Is it because soe that Darcisarants that come to see Talosheim?” Bellmond asked
“That’s part of it,” said Vandalieu, not“We need to appeal Talosheireatness to the effect on members of Vida’s races with the Dark Demon Creation Path Enticement Skill, but the effect eaker on inate from monsters
Thus, Vandalieu was nervous about whether the Dark Elves from his mother’s birthplace would like Talosheiht that he didn’t need to be so concerned, however… After all, once the whole Undead factor was looked past, there was no nation with the infrastructure, public order, luxurious food choices and cheap taxes that Talosheim had
“But I don’t intend to put any burden on the craftsmen, so I intend for all of the construction to finish soroup of visitors arrive,” said Vandalieu
“… It ood to have them see the construction process, too,” said Eleanora “Maybe they’ll feel more faht be good”
In addition to Vandalieu turning thetransported by the Undead like Knochen Building construction was the perfect task to show the visitors the working power of Undead that felt no fatigue
“Fuhahahah! Come, brave warriors! We ion’s Valkyrie from behind Vandalieu
The Zombies that Valkyrie referred to as brave warriors followed Valkyrie past Vandalieu, silently carrying stone materials These were Isis’s handers of the Trial of Zakkart who had been defeated on the shallower floors
They wouldn’t see this and think that the Undead are slaves… or at least, I hope not Though I suppose they’d be s if they ever saw Valkyrie’s true for
“… Well then, it seems that you will rest appropriately, so I suppose it is fine,” said Bell the conversation back on-topic “I am still worried that you cannot move your body, however”
“Yes… Jeena, can’t you do so, not just a saint of muscles, aren’t you?” said Eleanora
“The ‘Saint of Healing’ title came first, actually,” Jeena said pointedly “But even the healing of ic can only relieve the pain at best I don’t know any spells that can stop a child’s growth period, and even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to use it His-Majesty-kun’s Status Effect Iht?”
Bell unable topains, so they were very worried that so inside Vandalieu’s body
However, even Jeena as proficient with healingabout it
“Yes,any effect What’s happening topains of the kind that have never been seen before,” said Vandalieu “Even if you reduceto remove it, my muscles won’t be restored to their normal state, which is probably why they still can’t move”
Vandalieu’s body was currently rapidly approaching the development of secondary sexual characteristics His bones creaked and historn and then reconstructed by the effects of his Rapid Regeneration Skill It was possible that there were changes occurring in his internal organs as well
Of course, such growing pains extreh to immobilize the entire body would normally never happen, not even to a Dhampir
But Vandalieu was not nor Dhampir boy who had experienced nineteen different Jobs, including his current Magic Cannoneer Job This was easily e class adventurer
