Chapter 225 (1/2)
Death Mage 225 – The Deround when summoned
Ie' Job
“… We can assume from the Skill's name that its effect is similar to 'Familiar Spirit Descent' But we can't use it in real battle until we confirm whether that is the case, how ically
She saw Eleanora and Bellmond off as they rushed back to where Vandalieu was, and closed her eyes to pray
“'Familiar Spirit Demonfall,' activate!” she shouted
So that could only be described as a black light erupted at her feet
The black light then fused with her body as if being absorbed, and a voice echoed in the back of her mind
“Did you call me, Isla?”
It was the voice of her master, Vandalieu
“Vandalieu-sama?! I expected one of Vandalieu-sama's familiar spirits to come, but Vandalieu-sama himself is inside me?!” Isla exclaimed in surprise
“Strictly speaking, I am not the real me,” the voice said “I am one of the smallthe reconstruction oflike a familiar spirit Not that I know much about ordinary familiar spirits other than the sensation and flavor they had when I destroyed them”
Normally, familiar spirits summoned by those who possessed the 'Familiar Spirit Descent' Skill were made of the Mana of the God that had created them, so their individual wills were faint Thus, even after they descended, they would almost never have conversations with the ones who had summoned them
But as one would expect froment of Vandalieu's soul, it was able to converse with Isla
“Incidentally, everything I knoill be passed on to the real me once the Demonfall is undone, so be careful about any secrets that you ht want to keep,” the clone added
Like the De Familiars, the clone was a part of Vandalieu
“A secret, from Vandalieu-sama?! Please feel free to look upon my heart as much as you wish… If you desire, you may look at all of me!” Isla declared
“… I can't read your hts,” the clone told her “But I can hear you when you speak to me with your internal voice like this, and I experience everything you see or hear for the duration of the Demonfall”
“I see,” Isla said in a disappointed tone, but her liveliness returned again i one with you like this h me, Vandalieu-sama!”
“That's the effect of 'Familiar Spirit Demonfall' The power isn't unlimited, so be wary of that And with the Skill at Level 1, it will only last a few minutes,” the clone said
“Ah, to think that you would continue your explanation so seriously… You are so cold,” Isla lamented “But that is…!”
“I don't really think that I'ht that's what is best for you”
Isla had thought things through logically and decided upon what she needed to know before testing the Skill That wasn't wrong of her, and the faht to do the sa
That hy it had used the precious few minutes it had to explain the Skill
“Vandalieu-sa about me?!” Isla breathed
“Yes, I a her despite the fact that she had taken his words with a slightly different nuance “Now then,your body around a little Try sos with your sword”
“Of course,” Isla said excitedly
She unsheathed her sword and beganthat there was an enemy present Her head was totally blank and her chest was throbbing so hard that it was difficult to believe that her heart wasn't actually beating, but her movements were sharp
To those watching, Isla's moveh Isla herself likely thought of this as a dance with Vandalieu
But this dream-like time would inevitably come to an end
“Ti,” said the familiar spirit as it left Isla and disappeared
“No, wait! Don't go, Vandalieu-sa like she had lost more than the bonus to her Attribute Values
“There, there, I'ing room
“Ah, Vandalieu-sa from her shock
“Umm, don't worry about her, everyone She hasn't lost her mind You don't have to be scared of her,” Vandalieu explained to the subordinate Va
“That's right She was talking to herself, fighting with an invisible ene down into tears, so it can't be helped if you thought she'd gone insane, but don't worry,” said Eleanora
Vestra looked terrified that she would beco to comfort her
The voices of familiar spirits could not be heard except for by those who had summoned them From everyone else's point of view, it looked as if Isla had been enveloped in a ht and then subsequently lost her uided by Vandalieu had been ht of the 'Familiar Spirit Demonfall'
Thankfully, Director Holly was checking up on the children and they weren't in the hallway leading to the Job-changing room, so they had not witnessed Isla's eccentric behavior
The destruction of Hihiryushukaka, the evil God of joyful life, was sensed by the Gods of Alda's forces and the rest of the re's army, despite the fact that they had not directly witnessed it
“Hihiryushukaka's presence has vanished from the Bahn Gaia continent…?” murmured Alda, the God of law and fate
“It seems that he has been destroyed by Vandalieu,” said Rodcorte, the God of reincarnation
Though the Gods did not know the fine details of Vandalieu's e, and Hihiryushukaka had been after hi after all
“… The evil God that has troubled us for the past hundred thousand years has co end To think that he would become food for Vandalieu on his own If he had quietly allowed us to seal him away, he could have avoided his own destruction,” Alda lamented
“I never had even the smallest expectation that he would kill Vandalieu, but… the De that he was not even able to take a single one of Vandalieu's companions doith him,” said Rodcorte
Meanwhile, the other Gods that had once been a part of the De's army trembled in fear
It wasn't just Ravovifard, the evil God of release; Hihiryushukaka had fallen as well These two evil Gods had gained even 's defeat and risen to power in the world, and yet they had both been destroyed just a few years apart
Though the re's army were called reer threatening them
Despite that… they would not gather their strength together oncethat had ruled over them all, it would have been impossible for evil Gods whose values and environanization as they had The ones left in Laood sense
A poor atteether would likely result in the evil Gods trying to crush each other rather than joining forces
The evil Gods knew this, so they merely formed small alliances with other Gods that were sie-scale moves
In contrast to the evil Gods, a Goddess who nobody thought was lehandedly s, all on her own
“She orshi+ping other Gods as well, not just me, so our connection was very thin But now, she is close to not only Vida and him, but to me as well,” the Goddess murmured to herself “In other worlds, they say that the ocean is thein my power”
To be precise, she was a Goddess who ruled over the water attribute rather than the ocean, but the God of seas was a her subordinate Gods, so there was no proble of herself as such
And Peria, the Goddess of water and knowledge, gave this Goddess her divine protection and a e
Peria wished to continue pretending to slue to him and see how he acted in response to it
Several days after Vandalieu acquired the 'Deained the 'Faathered and lined up with a set distance between each of the tournament were about to take place
“Everyone, you've all prepared yourselves?! I'ive me a minute!” Fester shouted
“… Fester You've becoet a hold of yourself,” said Zeno
“H-hey, it's just like using 'Surpass Liht?” asked Kasim nervously
“Yes, that's right, Kasim It will be like the sensation I had when I summoned familiar spirits while I was still alive… probably,” said Gerda
“I-it'sto be alright?” Fester wondered
“I apologize for interrupting your enthusiasm, but please wait a little more before we start the experi with us from the Dark Continent and the other nations, you see,” said Luciliano, as holding several Goblin communication devices
It was an experi tournament
This was an experiment to see whether there would be any proble the 'Familiar Spirit Demonfall' Skill simultaneously and from different locations
An ordinary God would send a divine punishment or two upon folloho tried an experion God, thinking about what an act of insolence it would be for a God's believers to try to test their God's limits
But this experiested by Vandalieu himself, so there was no need to worry about that
No, I suppose there would never be such a large number of people with a God's divine protection in one nation… Even a God who handed them out freely would have his limits But why am I…
“What in the world aht back upon the events that had led him to this situation
Although he had been a subordinate of Marduke, the dragon-emperor God, he had betrayed this world and sided with the Deo, he had been one of the re's army
He had usurped the worshi+p of the Lizardon God of five sins who had betrayed the De's army to join Vida's faction, but Vandalieu and his companions had taken the lizardmen and the marshlands back
After that, he had been on a one-way path spiraling further and further down He had been sealed ahile trying to flee from the Bahn Gaia continent, and after that, he had been forced to put on a shaon God, and the rest of his former allies…
Still, I am certainly in a better position than Ravovifard, Hihiryushukaka and others who have had their souls devoured… That is certainly true, but…
A sense of conviction did not exist in Luvesfol What he had wasdesire to survive That hy he had joined the Deed Vandalieu to spare him He are that he had throay his pride over and over in order to survive in the past
But as he reflected upon the situation, he did begin to think that he should have treasured his pride a little more
“Everyone, you don't have to be nervous! It will be a part of Van-kun descending… I hter of the Scylla elder, trying to calm the others down
“It will fuse with you, but it seems that it's like 'Familiar Spirit Descent' in that it won't read your hts Zanalpadna sent e-build Arachne Gizania, as a daughter of the queen
“That's right, so you don't have to worry either!” Privel said to Luvesfol
But Privel's words could not wipe away Luvesfol's troubles
In fact, they only a about hinificant he had become
But that couldn't be helped Luvesfol's body was currently about ten meters tall, the size of a Wyvern
As a result of being beaten down and sealed away by the Storon body; he had been sealed away in the feeble body of a Wyvern
To an ordinary person, a Wyvern was a fearsos, sharp claws and solid scales It could fly, andfire
But froon, Wyverns were the ons that were the Elder Dragons' descendants
A Wyvern's strength, fangs, claws, scales and fire breath were nothing of value As a type of Dragon, Wyverns were able to fly at reasonable speeds, but acknowledging this was siility of a monkey
And as Wyverns had the intelligence of beasts, it was difficult for Elder Dragons to acknowledge theh Luvesfol was not a direct parent of the Wyverns, as he was an Elder Dragon who had an affinity with the water and earth attributes
I created children nu, but ons Cootten about h it was supposed to be quite intelligent for a dragon…
As Luvesfol looked into the distance as if trying to escape reality, a large hand suddenly touched his back
“It's alright Van isn't scary!” said a voice
The fingers of the hand sunk forcefully into Luvesfol's body
Luvesfol let out a shout of surprise and opened his eyes wide as he realized that this hand belonged to the three-irl Pauvina
“P-Pauvinsa?!” he cried
“H too nervous, Luves,” Pauvina replied
As a result of Vandalieu's first pseudo-reincarnation, Pauvina had been born as aup faster than a hu about three nored her size, she looked like a girl in her early teenage years… She had clearly surpassed Vandalieu in this regard
“I ahts! But I am fine!” Luvesfol shouted hastily
Pauvina was Luvesfol's direct superior… though ht of her as his 'owner'
Up until aaway his pride, but he had now iret and submitted to Pauvina This was partially due to the fact that Pauvina was soe reason for his behavior was that Pauvina was easily capable of killing him with her bare hands
As an Elder Dragon, his instinct was to recognize those ere
Pauvina had the physical strength froic to a certain extent with the aiirl-type Job
However, she had first acquired the 'Tathen Subordinates' Skill, saying that this would help everyone bring out their own strengths then Subordinates' Skill
And she has learned all of this body's weak points in just a year! What a troublesoht As for her older brother, as he thinking when he gave me his divine protection –
But Pauvina did not stop, causing cracking sounds to come from Luvesfol's spine
Luvesfol screa you, please stop!”
“Huh?” said Pauvina, seely unable to understand why he would want her to stop; her fingers showed no signs of stopping whatsoever “You're all stiff, you know? Your muscles are all tense”
As Vandalieu had entrusted Luvesfol to her, Pauvina had learned all of the weak points of Luvesfol's Wyvern body… where to ue
She had done thisher, and actual practice on Luvesfol
C-curse you, Fidirg! Getting so full of yourself now that you have four of your heads intact and only need to restore one ht as his weak spots were prodded
But the whole situation was entirely expected for Fidirg
When Pauvina came to him for advice on how to care for Luvesfol (or rather, keep hion as well, he had been very troubled
“Huh? I on as well, but I am a God that was once a creature that is sion from another world,” one of his heads had said
“This is like asking a salay,” added a second
“Honestly, I don't know anything about that bastard's biology… Ah, don't cry! I'll do soivetears in Pauvina's eyes
“First, we need Wyverns! Where can we find Wyverns?!” the fourth head said in panic
And so, Fidirg caught four Wyverns froeons alive in the jaws of his four intact heads in order to allow her to investigate
He certainly had not gleefully taught Pauvina how to e froirl
