Vandalieu Zakkart – Dhampir (Mother: Goddess), 11 years old, male

Our main character, in his twelfth year of life since being born in Lambda. He has finally made a proper (?) debut in human society.

At first, his objective was to pick a suitable city to set up an ambush for Birkyne, the last surviving Pure-breed Vampire who worshipped Hihiryushukaka, and the group of reincarnated individuals led by Murakami. Things like registering at the Commerce Guild were secondary, and he would not have minded being unable to do those as long as he still achieved his main objective.

Since it was necessary to remain in the city until the Pure-breed Vampire and reincarnated individuals were defeated, he decided to simply run his food cart business without gathering attention so that he would not get arrested by the city guards or have his temporary membership at the Commerce Guild canceled.

But due to various unexpected circumstances – the battle against Heinz in the last volume, joining up with Darcia and the others, and the harassment from Joseph of the Commerce Guild – he was forced to change his plans.

With the city being dragged into Hajime Fitun’s clear attack on Vandalieu, Vandalieu’s plan to remain inconspicuous, which was already on the verge of death, finally came to an end.

But since he has acquired new friends, pets, disciples and companions, he does not seem particularly displeased about that. He seems to think that he is playing his role as the ‘Holy Son of Vida,’ as followers of Vida are on the rise as well.

In the battle against Birkyne in the previous volume, he forgot to use his Gyubarzo staff despite knowing how important it is, but he made full use of it in the battle against Hajime Fitun.

He has also become closer to being immortal, with the ability to control his body directly with his soul rather than with his brain and regrow severed limbs in the blink of an eye.

He has become a demigod through Jobs such as ‘Demon King’ and ‘Demiurge,’ and is now able to send his countless clones that were created during the reconstruction of his soul to his companions as familiar spirits.

Incidentally, ‘demigod’ refers to a god who possesses a physical body, and does not reflect the magnitude of the god’s divinity. The Sun Giant Talos is also a demigod, as is his father, the Colossus God Zerno, who was one of the great gods like Alda and Vida.

Vandalieu does not have any particularly strong feelings regarding the fact that he has become a demigod; his thoughts are along the lines of, “Now I can help everyone more” and “I’ve become the god of this century.”

But with Vandalieu’s transformation into a demigod, Nuaza’s plan to create an enormous statue of Vandalieu has finally begun. Vandalieu is unhappy with the fact that this national project is proceeding, overcoming his objections as the leader of the nation.

The voice of the emperor, who believes that the citizens’ hard-earned taxes and labor should be used on more important things, has been drowned out by the will of the people. Construction work is now taking place around the clock, with workers changing shifts three times a day.

The emperor has mobilized his Demon King Familiars to stubbornly protest (while taking care not to cause any trouble for anyone), but… he has been unable to gather a single supporter for his cause.

He is protesting, not impeding the workers.

In the city of Morksi, most people simply think of him as Darcia’s son; his mother is significantly more well-known. However, there are others who are more aware of him than his mother, such as the earl who governs the city, Guild Master Bachem of the Tamers’ Guild, and the residents of the red-light district and slum quarters.

In the case of the earl and Bachem, it is because they have been busy sending reports regarding Juliana and the undiscovered monster races of Vandalieu’s pets. In the case of the red-light district and slum quarters’ residents, it is because Vandalieu is no longer hiding who the ‘True Ruler of the Red-light District’ is anymore… since Miles refers to him as ‘Boss’ despite people being within earshot.

Although Vandalieu’s food cart initially just grilled meat purchased at wholesale stores, Vandalieu and Darcia now go out to the Devil’s Nest to hunt. The food cart has become a famous business that sells grilled monster meat skewers at cheap prices.

The owners of food carts that sold soups and sandwiches containing meatballs made with minced Goblin and Kobold ears in the back alleys have been taught how to make Gobu-gobu and steamed Kobold meat. They have signed a franchise contract with Vandalieu, so their livelihoods are secure.

Thus, the food carts in the back alleys now bear a pink heart-mark, making them more like a part of the red-light district in a way.

It seems that steamed Kobold meat is difficult to make widespread, as Kobolds are considerably dangerous and the leaves of Kobol trees are necessary in the cooking process. However, Gobu-gobu is likely to become more widespread in remote regions where food is scarce.

He has acquired the ‘Patron Saint of Transformation Equipment’ Title. As for why it is ‘Patron Saint’ rather than ‘Creator,’ all of the priests at the Communal Church recognize him as a patron saint due to Darcia being called ‘Holy Lady’ and ‘Holy Mother.’

… In the future, transformation equipment may come to be considered sacred tools.

Incidentally, in a twist of irony, the priests of the Communal Church who serve Alda and Fitun also recognize Vandalieu as a patron saint.

Vandalieu has become able to reconnect to Banda in his dreams, allowing him to gain information about events in Origin, but… he seems to get a distant look on his face every time he hears about the Amemiya couple’s everyday lives.

Darcia – Chaos Elf, 0 years old (resurrected), female

As the Demon King’s mother, Darcia struck down the champions chosen by the gods in anger during the last volume. But in this volume, by taking a break from her religious activities (concerts) on the Dark Continent to spend some time with her son, she has become praised as a holy lady and holy mother.

Due to her beauty, she has been on the receiving end of sexual harassment from corrupt city guards, and due to her workplace being located in a back alley in the red-light district, she has had encounters that have gone beyond sexual harassment. However, she was an adventurer in the Amid Empire when she was a Dark Elf, where Vida’s races are heavily persecuted. She is already experienced and used to dealing with such troubles.

On top of that, she has become incomparably more powerful than when she was a Dark Elf, and the Demon King is at her side. Thus, she is unafraid of almost anyone.

Like Vandalieu, she intended to not draw any attention so that they could carry out the plan of staying in the city of Morksi. However, that intention grew weaker after the interference from Joseph that forced her and Vandalieu to acquire their ingredients on their own.

That was when Priestess Paula, priestess of Vida at the Communal Church, asked Darcia to give a sermon. This caused Darcia to completely forget about not drawing attention.

… From the very beginning, perhaps it was impossible for the Demon King and an incarnation of a goddess to not draw any attention.

However, Darcia’s gentle personality has not changed. As long as no actual harm is done, she overlooks any attempts to harass her. Edmond’s suggestion to set up brothels disguised as Churches falls into that category.

But the number of people trying to harass her has fallen drastically after the battle at the front gate… and they have been replaced by a drastic increase in fans and parents accompanied by their children asking for handshakes and autographs, as well as believers who put their hands together and pray to her.

However, as the incarnation of Vida, she considers herself to be a religious person (celebrity?) and doesn’t shy away from interacting with these people.

She was initially hesitant to transform outside of religious activities (concerts) and battles, but the parade was a public event for her – in other words, part of her work – so she seems to have considered that to be an exception.

Due to her body being made of materials collected by Vandalieu, her skeleton being made of Orichalcum, and her training in Vida’s Divine Realm, she is highly capable in combat.

With the ‘Chaos’ Skill that transforms her body, she fought head-to-head with Hihiryushukaka who had taken possession of Birkyne’s body and overwhelmed him. And during the battle at the front gate in the Hajime Fitun incident, she overcame the enemy without using ‘Chaos’ or ‘Infinitely-Changing Fighting Technique,’ and dealt the final blow to a heroic spirit who had taken possession of a physical body.

Her strength is equivalent to that of an S-class adventurer. However, her actual experience in battle is limited and she is not proficient in hiding her strength, so people like Rodriguez who have an eye for judging the strength of others have an idea of how powerful she is.

Saria and Rita – Tartarus Maid Chief Armors, ? years old, female

The living armor sisters who infiltrated the city by becoming a part of Darcia’s luggage while keeping their spirit-form parts invisible.

Inside the city, they never left the house that Vandalieu purchased and devoted themselves to their work as maids while keeping a lookout for intruders. They spared the spies sent by the earl, as they determined that the spies were not subordinates of Birkyne or the reincarnated individuals.

In that incident, they kept their spirit forms invisible and pretended to be ordinary suits of armor, so Darcia was a little anxious that the spies would likely assume that she was the owner of the bikini and high-leg leotard armors… though perhaps now, the spies would conclude that they were prototype transformation equipment or unfinished products created by Vandalieu.

During the battle against Birkyne, the two of them fought against his Noble-born Vampire vassal Magisa in order to turn her into a maid, and the experience of doing so awakened their superior Skills including ‘Underworld Halberd Technique’ and ‘Underworld Naginata Technique.’

The defeated Magisa was resurrected as a Vampire Zombie by Vandalieu and became a junior maid to the two sisters.

Magisa was a powerful Noble-born Vampire who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and yet she was turned into a Zombie maid. The Subordinate Vampires who had served Birkyne, witnessing this happening to their former boss, trembled in fear and swore absolute loyalty to Vandalieu in their minds.

Sam – Dimension Road Carriage, ? years old, male

Feeling that his role as a vehicle was threatened by the usefulness of the teleportation abilities of Legion’s Jack and the evil god of labyrinths Gufadgarn, Sam challenged himself to travel not only through the sky, but through space as well.

As a result, he did not quite manage to achieve the teleportation that he was aiming for, but he has become able to travel from one point in space to another through an alternate dimension.

The movement is performed manually by Sam himself; he has not become able to teleport instantly from one place to another. However, nobody in ordinary space is able to interfere with him while he exists in the alternate dimension.

In other words, while Sam exists in his alternate dimension, he is invisible and invulnerable… but he is also unable to attack enemies in ordinary space while he exists in his alternate dimension.

During the battle against Hajime Fitun, he used this ability to store heroic spirits’ souls in his carriage along with his daughters to deliver them to Vandalieu.

However, it may be possible for an expert in space-attribute magic to interfere with Sam, but… to begin with, there were fewer mages with an affinity for the space attribute compared to other attributes, so this is a small concern.

Incidentally, the ghost ship Cuatro, who competed against Sam in a race for self-improvement… may show the results of its efforts in the next volume.

Gufadgarn – Evil god of labyrinths, ? years old, female?

An evil god who has continued to play a great part in things from the last volume. The fact that the city of Morksi suffered no damage in the battles against Birkyne and Hajime Fitun was largely due to her existence and actions.

If Darcia is the holy mother and Vandalieu is the messiah, Gufadgarn is the equivalent to Morksi’s guardian deity.

Gufadgarn herself doesn’t think much of it, however. It is likely that she simply thinks of the city as a city that is of value to Vandalieu.

Although the people of the city don’t know of her deeds, as a proud servant of Vandalieu, she is satisfied as long as Vandalieu thinks highly of her.

However, she thinks that it is fortunate that Vandalieu’s stay in Morksi has resulted in him gaining more promising disciples such as Juliana.

… Although Gufadgarn is not concerned with the other people in the city of Morksi, the fear that they feel towards Dungeons due to recent events becomes energy for her, as she is the evil god of labyrinths, and her vessel currently resides in the city. One could say that in a way, the people have rewarded her as well.

Gufadgarn is a fanatical worshipper of Vandalieu, but the one thing that she opposes Vandalieu on is the matter of the giant statue of worship in Talosheim; she wholeheartedly supports the statue’s construction.

As both an evil god and as a follower of Vandalieu, she strongly believes that an idol is necessary for worshippers to praise their gods.

As Gufadgarn showed Aggar during this volume, her body is merely a vessel disguised as a beautiful Elf girl, and it is a god-created monster. The inside of her body is a labyrinth that gruesomely tortures its victims, tormenting their minds and driving them to insanity as they die.

As she intends for no one to conquer this labyrinth, it can be considered to be an even more difficult labyrinth than the Trial of Zakkart.

Eleanora – Abyssal Vampire Princess Knight, 14 years old (20 years old at time of Vampire transformation, 34 years old in total), female

The individual who infiltrated a criminal organization… or to be more precise, took over it, in order to support Vandalieu in his stay in the city of Morksi.

The head of the organization was killed and turned into a Live-dead, and Demon King Familiars were placed inside him as well. Eleanora disguised herself as a female swordsman who guards him.

But after the destruction of Hihiryushukaka, the god she once worshipped, and her Vampire parent Birkyne, there is no longer any need for her to remain hidden. Like Miles, she is now publicly visible enough to help out at Vandalieu’s food cart.

But after she learned that Vandalieu had acquired the ‘True Ruler of the Red-light District’ Title, her reaction was: “Since I’m the ‘Leader’s Mistress,’ I will be recognized as Vandalieu-sama’s mistress… What a wonderful city!” She now feels a deeper attachment towards the city of Morksi.

But she is concerned with the fact that the word ‘princess’ is now a part of her race title, perhaps due to the effect of Zadiris’s curse or perhaps because of the influence of the transformation equipment she received from Vandalieu.

“This is strange. I am not such a child, and my proportions… My costume isn’t child-like either. And unlike Zadiris, the superior Skill I awakened, ‘Time Combat Swordsmanship,’ doesn’t have the word ‘princess’ in it. Could it be that it will appear when I awaken the ‘Time Attribute Magic’ Skill?!”

These are some of the worries that she has.

Having heard about this from somewhere, Kanako comes to Eleanora trying to convince her to make her debut on-stage, but Eleanora ignores her, feeling like if this conversation actually takes place, she will end up persuaded to do it.

Incidentally, simply not using the transformation equipment is not an available option for Eleanora. It is functionally superb, and more importantly, it is something that Vandalieu made by hand just for her.

With the destruction of all three Pure-breed Vampires who worshipped Hihiryushukaka, the evil-god-worshipping organization of Vampires in the Bahn Gaia continent has collapsed, and the Subordinate Vampires who surrendered have joined the ranks of Vandalieu’s followers. Under ordinary circumstances, they would have become Eleanora’s subordinates, as she is the highest-ranking Vampire among those of Birkyne’s bloodline.

However, Eleanora realized that she lacks the ability to lead others when Isla and the other Vampire Zombies were placed under her command, so she has declined taking these Subordinate Vampires in.

Consequently, it was decided that the Subordinate Vampires would be trained by the now-awake Pure-breed Vampires at Vida’s Resting Grounds.

Bellmond – Abyssal Vampire Empress Butler (forest-monkey-type Beast-kin), approximately 10,000 years old (18 years old at time of Vampire transformation), female

Like Eleanora, Bellmond infiltrated the criminal organization. Her false identity was that of the leader’s secretary, a very kunoichi-like role in a way.

But because Beast-kin were discriminated against in the Alcrem Duchy until somewhat recently, some of the upper-ranking members of the criminal organizations underestimated her. However, she felt pity rather than anger towards those who discriminated against her despite not even being aware that their leader had died and their organization had been taken over.

Although they were members of a criminal organization, all of them were such weaklings that she never gave them a second look. Thus, one of them once grabbed her tail when her guard was down.

Despite failures such as these, the takeover of the organization went as planned, and the only living members of it now are those who have joined Vandalieu.

There are still some remaining high-ranking members that force beggars to beg for them or run old stores, but the plan is to absorb those back into the organization as well.

There is no plan to continue running the organization as a criminal organization; its purpose will be to gather information.

With Chipuras and the others dying and j
