381 Death Mage V13 Chapter 308

Chapter 308
Worrying about the increasing number of Champions...


Alda, the God of Law and Life, stood in the deepest level of the dungeon he had created... a floor devoid of any presence.

This bottommost level was turned into a half-divine realm, created to protect the slumbering Bellwood. Thus, as a god, Alda could exist within this space.

"..."

No, to be accurate, there were other gods present in this level besides Alda, and Alda himself was not just standing there.

He glared with resentment at that god... the Evil God of Sinful Chains, Jyarodeeps, who was sealed within the walls of the Dungeon.

"You filthy invader... What did you show Bellwood? What did you implant in his mind?"

Bellwood was his chosen Champion, the greatest fighting force and symbol of pride of his own power, who had even reached the status of a 'Heroic God’. When he reunited with the awakened Bellwood, Alda was filled with joy and hope, enough to overshadow the disappointment he had felt when Botin and Peria sided with Vida.

With Bellwood leading the gods and Heinz leading the humans, by joining their forces to fight, they could prevail against Vida's Faction... against Vandalieu. It will undoubtedly involve many challenges and significant sacrifices, but even so, hope will not be extinguished.

Just like when they fought against Demon King Guduranis and his army to prevent the world's destruction.

However, the awakened Bellwood had become a completely different person from before.

"The confidence that was once overflowing, the passion to lead others, and the charisma that inspired us in any situation… All of that had disappeared. It's as if he realized his own powerlessness... No, he became a defeated loser or a recluse who had given up on everything."

The awakened Bellwood declared to Alda and the other gods that he had been mistaken and that from now on, he would follow Heinz's will and become nothing more than his power.

Certainly, Heinz was an exceptional human, a devout believer, and undoubtedly one of the greatest heroes of this era. His feat of awakening Bellwood, who had been asleep for over fifty thousand years, should be engraved in history and forever praised.

However, even so, Alda couldn't believe that Bellwood would abandon his own will and entrust all decisions to Heinz.

"Bellwood was filled with confidence and excelled at motivating everyone by taking the lead... But when you think about it, his only weakness was always wanting to be at the forefront."

Since the early days when he had just arrived in this world and was still immature, Bellwood had tried to become the center of attention and lead the people around him. During that time, even Alda had criticized Bellwood for it. However, since he quickly gained the power to match his claims, Alda had realized that he had underestimated his abilities, and had forgotten about it until now.

However, when the truth of his defeat by the Evil God of Sinful Chains from fifty thousand years ago was revealed, Alda decided to spread the story that it was a mutual defeat in consideration of the extent of the turmoil people would face.

As a Heroic God, Bellwood possessed overwhelming power, but if he had been accompanied by Heroic Spirits and other gods, he might not have succumbed to the divine authority of the Evil God of Sinful Chains.

If you think about it that way, it could be said that one of Bellwood’s shortcomings has been reduced.

"But why did you tell us that Vida's New Races were evil before, and now claim it was a mistake... Why is that?"

While it is true that Alda's faction currently recognizes and acknowledges the existence of Vida's new races that do not have a rank in their status, a hundred thousand years ago, they believed that eradicating them completely was necessary to maintain order of this world, for the sake of this world.

In reality, even now, Alda's true belief remains that Vida's new races, such as the Beastmen, Vampires, Titans, Majins, and even those of the same kind who offer prayers to him, should all be eradicated without exception. Alda believes that unless they are completely wiped out, those who have sacrificed themselves thus far will not find respite.

Though it is not necessarily a problem to be flexible in regards to the order or timing. For example, when it comes to Heinz's protection of the Dhampir girl, it can be acceptable to wait for her natural lifespan to come to an end rather than killing her off.

However, believers have come to coexist with Vida's New Races in various ways. They are seen as good neighbors, convenient slaves, laborers, and combat forces. In some nations, Vida's new races are even valued as rulers and military forces.

Thus, Alda recognized Nineroad's efforts and approach, and demanded Rodcorte to add Vida's new races, which do not have a Rank, into the Circle of Reincarnation system. It was an inevitable decision.

In the end, Bellwood couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness, thinking that it was his own responsibility for failing to properly guide people to coexist with Vida's new races, and instead taught and guided them to constantly fight against them in the name of righteousness.

Bellwood himself, who despised compromises towards ideals the most, ended up making that very compromise.

However, even if Bellwood himself knew about it, he wouldn't say anything. In fact, he didn't even react.

"In that state, isn't it a condition of having lost agency, merely moving without a sense of self? Jyarodeeps! Just what have you done to Bellwood!?"

Despite shouting in rising anger and frustration, Jyarodeeps remained silent as expected. Being completely sealed, no matter how much Alda yelled at him, his voice would not reach Jyarodeeps.

No, even if Jyarodeeps was not sealed, it is not necessarily the case that he would answer Alda's question honestly.

Whenever Alda used the ‘Pile of Law’, Jyarodeeps was a crazy god that responded not with a screech, but with maniacal laughter. Venting frustration against him would only be in vain.

In reality, Jyarodeeps was not insane. He was laughing because being struck by the ‘Pile of Law’, which only affects gods of Lambda, was ironically proof that Jyarodeeps, through Alda’s own divine authority, was recognized as a god of Lambda.

However, Alda did not come to that realization and turned away, facing away from the wall where Jyarodeeps was sealed.

"Bellwood is still suffering from psychological wounds. By descending into Heinz's body and defeating the new Demon King, Vandalieu, he will surely regain his former self. In order to achieve that, we must explain to Heinz why we did not recognize Vida's new races, but..."

Now, by teaching and guiding Heinz, to whom Bellwood has entrusted all decisions to, it should lead Bellwood to regaining his former self.

However, explaining the Circle of Reincarnation system was a difficult problem. This is because Alda himself had decreed that humans should not be taught about the Circle of Reincarnation.

This was decided by all the Great Gods before Demon King Guduranis appeared in this world.

Why restrict human knowledge? It is because once humans acquire knowledge, they can use that knowledge to ascend and eventually reach a point where they can wield divine powers as humans.

Even if it takes hundreds or thousands of years, they will eventually reach that point.

Of course, Vandalieu has already reached that stage without even being given knowledge.

"Now then..."

While contemplating how to explain it to Heinz, Alda disappeared from the dungeon to return to his divine realm.

Only Jyarodeeps' shadow remained in the dungeon, and the floor was engulfed in silence devoid of sounds of chains.





In the Demon King's Continent, Vandalieu created an unnamed S-Class Dungeon. There, the elite members of the Demon Empire of Vidal had gathered.

At the forefront were ‘Sword King’ Borkus, 'Magical Girl' Zadiris, 'Saintess of Healing' Jeena, 'Tiny Genius' Zandia, 'Giant Splitter' Basdia, Bone Man, 'Death Axe King' Vigaro, 'Loyal Dog of the Eclipse Emperor' Eleonora, and 'The Eclipse Emperor's Hound' Isla.

And at the rear was Vandalieu, the one responsible for creating the dungeon. Since the purpose this time was to confirm the difficulty of the dungeon, he will not participate in combat unless it was an emergency.

If all of them were to gather and combine their strength, they could defeat an equal number of demi-gods, yet their faces were filled with tension.

"Juu, by any chance am I the only one without a title...?"

"First, let's transform! We’ll run all the way to the fifth floor to the mid-boss!"

"Umu, it's a race against time."

Borkus and the others activated their Transformation Equipment and entered the Dungeon. As soon as they entered, a heavy sound echoed from behind.

"What was that?"

"In this dungeon, the entrance will close once ten or more people have entered. Of course, this also includes monsters from the outside."

"Even if it’s closed, it's not like we're trapped inside just because it opens from the inside. However, it would be difficult to call for reinforcements or rescue in normal circumstances."

Jeena and Zandia answered Vandalieu's question. In the meantime, the party continued to advance through the dungeon.

The floors themselves were simple in its construction. There were grasslands, forests, icy plains, and pitch-black dark nights devoid of light. While the environment was harsh, such environments are not particularly unusual for B-Class dungeons or higher. Besides, the natural environment of the Demon King's Continent outside the dungeon was far more harsh.

Incidentally, there were no puzzles set up in this dungeon like those from the ‘Trial of Zakkart’.

The monsters that appeared were all powerful Rank 10 monsters, but such creatures could also appear in A-Class dungeons.

So far, for being an S-Class Dungeon, the difficulty level was too low. In fact, Borkus and the others had no trouble at all, defeating the monsters one-sidedly as they progressed.

However, that impression immediately vanished the moment they laid eyes on the room where the mid-boss of the fifth floor appeared.

"Guooooooooh!"

In front of them stood a Rank 14 equivalent monster. It emitted mana of fire, ice, and lightning, with each head displaying a different attribute. It was a dragon known as the Triple Head Dragon King.

"Uooooooooon!"

On its left and right were a Rank 12 equivalent Adamantite Giant Golem Knight, a raging Spirit King who was a mass of miasma-contaminated mana, and the ocean glutton king capable of crushing even fortresses, a Gigant Flying Shark.

"........!"

Serving as their rearguard was a Sphinx Wizard Empress, a monster with a female head and a lion's body, equivalent to Rank 13, casting spells.

By the way, the reason they had such descriptions in front of their names was that they were just discovered in the Demon King's Continent, and their official names had not been decided yet.

"...This is the mid-boss room, right?"

"Ah, that's right... It seems that the dungeon boss, who somehow detected the intruders, and the mid-bosses who should be on the lower floors, have gathered and formed a party by coming up the stairs."

"We were rushing to prevent that... but it seems we didn't make it in time."

Vigaro and Borkus answered Vandalieu's question bitterly. With that, Vandalieu understood the meaning behind their impression of the dungeon he had created being ‘buggy’.

"Since we didn't make it in time, it can’t be helped! Kaa-san, Zandia, provide support!"

"Alright! We must defeat that empress-pretending sphinx no matter what!"

"Zadiris, isn't that a little personal?"

Basdia and the others fought valiantly. In terms of numbers, they were superior, and their strength was on par or even greater than the size of their bodies. While Vandalieu did not directly participate in the battle, his presence alone activated skills like ‘Super Strengthen Subordinates’, enhancing their attribute values.

However, the dungeon bosses displayed a surprising level of coordination and cannot be defeated easily. Normally, if they were on the same battlefield, it wouldn't be strange for them to be killing each other. Even if they are highly intelligent, it does not necessarily translate into a sense of teamwork due to their lack of camaraderie and reason. The raging Spirit King in particular lacked even the slightest trace of reasoning.

However, they fought tenaciously until the end with advanced team play.

Even when suffering from fatal wounds, they shielded their less injured comrades with their own bodies or launched suicide attacks, executing tactics that seemed unlike those of monsters.

After such intense battles, Vandalieu, while helping collect materials from the remains of the monsters, said, "I see, there is definitely a bug in the difficulty level."

In the mid-boss room, not only were other mid-bosses and dungeon bosses gathered, waiting for them, but the tactics they employed went beyond just skilled team play; it was an abnormal level of coordination that even involved self-sacrifice without hesitation.

An ordinary adventurer party would have likely been unable to cope and would have lost.

"That's right. At first, we were discussing whether the souls of monsters from Van-sama's Dungeon got mixed up with the souls of monsters from the Demon King's Continent and caused some abnormalities. What do you think?"

While excavating magic stones from the remains of a golem, Eleonora asked Vandalieu. Vandalieu looked around before shaking his head in response.

"No, those monsters didn't have any souls... Well, it's normal for raging spirits contaminated with miasma or naturally generated golems to not have souls."

In the mid-bosses’ room, there were no appearances of new monster souls among the spirits Vandalieu brought along.

It is unlikely that spirits would return to the Circle of Reincarnation before being noticed by Vandalieu. In most cases, the moment of their deaths leaves them defenseless.

"I see. If they don't have souls, it actually makes sense."

Isla said so as she approached closer to Vandalieu.

"Even though they are different species of monsters, merely created within the dungeon, the level of coordination and self-sacrifice they displayed would be impossible if they had ego or instincts."

"That's because they are in a doll-like condition. But why are those dolls able to do such things?"

While agreeing with her, Eleonora also tried to get even closer to Vandalieu than Isla.

Joining the two, Gufadgarn appeared behind Vandalieu. By hiding within the distortion of space, she succeeded in bypassing the limit on the number of people in the dungeon.

"Perhaps the thoughts that Vandalieu infused when creating this dungeon, that is “to make a dungeon with high difficulty”, function as an irreversible command to the monsters created in the dungeon. To make soulless dolls obey an absolute order from the moment of their creation... As expected of the great Vandalieu."

Though she appeared expressionless, those familiar with her could see the admiration in her eyes. As Gufadgarn praised Vandalieu, a female butler with silver hair and vertically elongated snake-like eyes emerged as if sprouting from him.

"However, now that we have already defeated the dungeon bosses, isn't this dungeon no better than a fortress without a general?"

"Indeed, the other mid-bosses and boss rooms are likely empty now but... Leaving that aside, where were you?"

"Were you inside Vandalieu-sama's shadow?"

"You’re close. To be precise, I was waiting in one of Danna-sama's ‘Body Worlds’."

With Vandalieu acquiring the ‘Qliphoth’ Job, he gained the ‘Body World’ skill, which allowed him to create ten special spaces within his body, which could be described as another world, albeit on a much smaller scale.

Each of these spaces was several times larger than the city of Morksi, and one can carry out activities inside the spaces just like outside. The purpose of each space could also be determined by Vandalieu's will.

However, for now, he was only using three of the ten available spaces.

"One of them is off-limits to us, so I don't know about that... The others are used for stocking Demon King Familiars and as a space for us to wait in. The entry and exit are done through Danna-sama's shadow, similar to the ‘Shadow Group Binding Technique’, so it appears unchanged from the outside."

"I cannot use Space-Attribute Magic, you see. I am currently considering the uses of the remaining seven spaces, but one of them I'm thinking of making into a shelter for emergencies."

"Quite an unusual skill you've acquired. However, if it's a shelter, does that mean you could evacuate the entire country into yourself in case of an emergency, Van?"

"I see. A wise king once said that countries are made up of their people, but in your case, it feels like the country is you, His Majesty-kun."

"A space full of Demon King Familiars! I’m interested, because Demon King Familiars are so cute."

Zandia envisioned Vandelieu’s Body World to be a jet-black Vandalieu Kingdom where everything is made of Vandalieu, or rather the 'Demon King Fragments’, while Jeena envisioned a space filled with a wide variety of peculiar-looking Demon King Familiars.

"Indeed... Luciliano would probably say something like how such sensibilities can only be understood within our group."

"Hey, shouldn't we move forward soon? Kid, make sure you stay in between us, alright?"

"Since earlier, I haven't heard Vandalieu's voice at all."

Amidst the female group who were chatting with one another lively, Borkus, with his eyes on the right side of his face half-closed, and Vigaro called out.

By the way, Vandalieu could hear their voices as well, but he was being crowded in the center of the female group and couldn't speak up. Instead, he replied telepathically, saying, "I can still breathe, so don't worry."

"There's no need to rush so much, is there? We've already defeated the dungeon boss."

It's true that monsters in dungeons, including the mid-bosses and bosses, would eventually respawn after being defeated. However, it would take some time. The respawn time varies, with weaker monsters respawning more quickly and stronger monsters taking much longer. For dungeon bosses, if it isn't an E-Class dungeon boss, once it was defeated, it would not reappear for several days.

In the case of an S-Class Dungeon, it wouldn't be strange for the boss to stay that way for several months.

That's why Bellmond's opinion would normally be valid, but...

"Juooo, no, we cannot let our guard down."

"Ah, it’s just as Bone Man said. In this dungeon, both mid-bosses and the dungeon boss respawn in about half a day."

"I’m not sure if it's because the miasma in Demon King's Continent is too dense, or it's because Vandalieu put a tremendous amount of mana into creating it. Either way, it seems that this dungeon is truly special."

It seemed that this bugged dungeon was an exception.

"Moreover, it seems that other monsters from different parts of the dungeon are aware of it. They stand in our way, delaying us to buy time until the bosses respawns."

"Monsters with high durability form a defensive line, while monsters skilled in long-distance attacks repeatedly engage in hit-and-run tactics from a distance..."

"Anyway, we need to hurry as much as possible and reach the bottom. If we take too long, the revived boss and mid-bosses will converge on us from both upper and lower floors, trapping us in a pincer attack."

Hearing Vigaro, Bone Man and Borkus talk about it, Vandalieu realized that the dungeon he created, while different in direction from the ‘Trial of Zakkart’, had an excessively high difficulty level.

However――

"Then, shall we call it a day for now? Considering that we were able to defeat the dungeon boss, thinning out the numbers should be enough."

Considering from the perspective of thinning out the monsters rather than fully conquering the dungeon, they had already achieved significant results. Since the bosses revive quickly, the time before the dungeon goes out of control is expected to be shorter than usual... but in return, it should be consuming a substantial amount of miasma from the Demon King's Continent.

Considering this, it might be a relatively easy dungeon since one doesn't have to go through the trouble of descending nearly a hundred floors to defeat the dungeon boss. However, if the challengers do not possess sufficient strength and numbers, they would be overwhelmed quickly.

"Well, I guess that's the plan then. Although it's thrilling and fun to conquer the dungeon while being chased by the revived mid-bosses, the all-out battles were enjoyable as well."

Borkus also agreed, so they decided to suspend their conquest at the fifth floor and returned for now.





After returning from the still unnamed S-Class dungeon, Vandalieu was being consulted by Vigaro and Basdia.

"Lately, Zadiris has been acting strange."

"Recently, she has been walking back and forth in front of the Job-changing room, and often sits down muttering something to herself. I think it's because only princess-related jobs are appearing..."

"If you know that much, shouldn't you be able to solve it already?"

Zadiris, the eldest of the Ghouls who is 300 years old, was troubled by the fact that only princess-related jobs and races were available to her.

Vandalieu thought it's not a big deal if she were to become a princess, but for her, it seemed to be a serious problem that was difficult to overcome.

"Well, it's not like I don't understand how she feels. I’m sure it’s the same as how I felt when I wanted to become muscular but couldn't."

No matter how much muscle training he did, his arms wouldn't become thicker. No matter how much he ate, his ribs would show through his chest. Even if he repeated back and abdominal exercises, he would grow horns and arthropod legs, but his muscles wouldn't develop or become defined.

It seemed to be a limit he was born with, not something that could be overcome through effort or diet. Yet, deep down, even though it's something he had thought about, he couldn't give up. That was until he obtained the ‘Demon King's Muscles’.

"No, it feels a bit different in her case. Including the solution."

"...Is that so?"

However, Basdia easily dismissed his suggestion, causing Vandalieu to slump his shoulders.

"Anyway, I want to make her give up and undergo a Job change before she starts doing something strange just to get a new Job."

When changing Jobs, new Jobs do not always appear. Even if a Job's level reaches one hundred, if the skill levels remain low and the conditions for new Jobs to appear are not met, nothing new would appear.

Therefore, many people attempt to acquire new Jobs by learning new skills such as martial arts and magic by trying out different Jobs than they had before.

In this world, not taking on a new Job puts them at a disadvantage in terms of attribute value growth and skill bonuses. That's why they take on a Job whenever available regardless of whether it aligns with their initial hopes.

There are rumors that such attempts have led to the discovery of Jobs like the ‘Magic Knight’ or the ‘Bard Mage’, who can simultaneously wield magic and swords or poems, and the ‘Fighter Thief’ who excels in the ‘Unarmed Fighting Technique’.

"...Well, even if she does something strange, I think Zadiris will be fine. Shall we go talk to her?"

"Vaaaan!"

As Vandalieu nodded and was about to head towards the Job-changing room where Zadiris was likely repeating her eccentric behavior, Kanako rushed in.

"Listen, Van! I've become a 'Champion'!"

"Oh, that's amazing."

With her momentum carrying her, Kanako lifted Vandalieu and spun around. It seems she was thrilled to have acquired the title of "Champion."

"Kanako has become a 'Champion'!? That's amazing!"

"Ah, absolutely! Let's have a match sometime!"

In this world, ‘Champion’ is a title given to individuals who come from another world, like Zakkart and Hillwillow, and are deemed worthy. Heroes born in this world like Schneider or Randolph cannot acquire it no matter how much they desire it.

That's why it's not surprising that Kanako, who is a Reincarnator like Vandalieu and has become a Guider, as well as recently obtaining ‘Botin's Divine Protection’, becomes a ‘Champion’. Basdia and the others were not surprised by her joy at achieving this.

"Now, we have a new topic for discussions in the Demon Empire of Vidal and Gartland! Van, please help me improve the design of my Transformation Equipment to make it more 'Champion-like'! And Vigaro-san, please refrain from having a match!"

However, Kanako didn't really feel honor or anything like that. Well, to be accurate, she does think about it, but what's more important to her is how she can make use of it in her idol activities.

“Rightー"

Vandalieu also understood that, so he was thinking of a new costume for her.

(Since it's Kanako, she'll probably ask me to change only the design while keeping the same performance... but I'm not a designer. I can’t do that without improving the performance.)

Merely changing the appearance would go against the name of the ‘Patron Saint of Transforming Equipment’. Therefore, he was determined to improve the performance as well.

Since Deanna's Transformation Equipment was also being developed, Vandelieu might be short on hands. He even considered using one of his remaining seven ‘Body World’ spaces as a workshop for making Transformation Equipment. Such thoughts crossed his mind.

"By the way, it seems like you have something to discuss?"

"Yes. Actually, Zadiris seems to be troubled about her Job."

"That seems to be a usual occurrence... but yes, I can think of something that might be related."

With that, Kanako began sharing that a few days ago, Zadiris had been acting strangely. She had a distressed expression and seemed like she wanted to talk to Kanako about something, but in the end, she left without saying anything.

"I tried to keep her there and coax it out of her until she got annoyed, but she still didn't say anything."


"Mother and Kanako... It doesn't seem to be about the stage, so you don’t have to worry about it."

"It seems like she's more deeply troubled than I initially thought.
Shall we go and listen to what she has to say?”

The group decided to wait until Zadiris opened up and shared her concerns herself. They decided to refrain from pushing the issue and instead proactively seek her out and listen to her troubles.

Job Description: Artistic Guider (Written by Luciliano)

Perhaps through art or entertainment... especially in Kanako's case, it seems to be a job that guides others through the influence of music and dance.

She has acquired a new skill ‘Song Chant’, which allows her to sing while chanting spells. This is likely a result of her unique combination of high singing ability and proficiency in magic, rather than something granted by a specific Job.

Although it may be similar to the Guidance of Hillwillow, who originally aspired to be an actor in the world he was originally from, the records suggest that the Champion did not directly guide people through arts, despite leaving behind writings about the arts and culture of another world. It's likely that during the intense battles with the Demon King’s army, there was no opportunity for him to engage in extensive entertainment activities.

Alternatively, while Hillwillow was only an aspiring actor, Kanako had absorbed a lot of entertainment knowledge through her idol activities in another world and her ability to copy others' memories of ‘Venus’. Through that, she was able to bring the arts and culture of another world into this world. This may have had an effect.

Well, unlike Master, Kanako is not incapable of taking on existing Jobs, and there is a possibility that the same ‘Artistic Guider’ had appeared in this world in the past. It might just be that it has been forgotten.
