Chapter 286: The Dragon Emperor God

Chapter 286: The Dragon Emperor G.o.d

The most mentally difficult task for Vandalieu was writing a reply to Selen, the Dhampir girl who was under the care of the Five-colored Blades. He wrote it with as much sincerity as he could, and had it sent via the Commerce Guild.

His reply listed out the reasons why they could not meet, reasons that were perhaps incomprehensible to Selen, who was an ordinary girl other than the fact that she was a Dhampir, but he did not think of her as childish.

Therell be adults around her who belong to Aldas peaceful faction, so itll be fine if they translate it for her

, Vandalieu thought, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders as he left the Commerce Guild and headed for the empty warehouse that Kanako was using for her lessons.

He had arranged to meet an eccentric Elf bard who had apparently come to this city to interview him.

In truth, Vandalieu had actually already been interviewed by bards on several occasions, so there was no problem with being interviewed by this particular bard Rudolf.

A day had pa.s.sed since he had made his public return to the city of Morksi; he hadnt arrived today. That was because he had been summoned by Earl Isaac Morksi to explain what had happened in Alcrem.

He hadnt been able to prioritize anything above a request from the lord of the region.

Nice to meet you. My name is Rudolf. Thank you very much for accepting my request for an interview, said Rudolf, bowing his head.

Vandalieu immediately had a favorable impression of him. He was the most polite and respectful of the bards who had interviewed him so far.

The pleasure is mine, said Vandalieu. However, if you are looking for someone to interview, wouldnt my mother be a better candidate? Or is there something you wanted to know about Basdia and Zadiris?

Darcia was more renowned in human society than Vandalieu was. And in the battle to defend Morksi, the efforts of Zadiris and Basdia, who were considered to be his familiars, were more well-known than Vandalieus.

Even many of the bards who had previously requested to interview Vandalieu were interested in what kind of person Darcia was from the perspective of her son, or wanted him to be a mediator while they heard from Zadiris and Basdia.

Vandalieu felt no annoyance or shock at the bards with these att.i.tudes. He thought it was only natural, as he knew how the incident had been presented to the public. In fact, he was happier that he was able to boast about his mother and his companions.

No, said Rudolf. Other bards are already creating numerous songs about your esteemed mother and familiars. I wish to create songs about you. And I am also interested in the events that took place in Alcrem

Though Rudolf said that, he was more interested in how Vandalieu thought during the events in Alcrem, rather than the details of the events themselves.

Vandalieu found this slightly curious, but he agreed to this, a.s.suming that it was because Rudolf wanted to create songs that are different from those of other bards.

However, the one on the interviewing side, Rudolf Randolf, was intensely worried about his true ident.i.ty being revealed.

Has he still not realized that I am Randolf the True? And the one guarding him is too skilled. Even I can only barely detect their presence, and I know nothing of their nature. And the boy himself

Randolf had noticed the presence of Gufadgarn, who lurked in the interst.i.tial s.p.a.ce behind Vandalieu. He felt no murderous intent or suspicion being directed towards him just an indifferent presence that was observing him.

This presence felt extremely ominous to Rudolf a kind of presence that couldnt be exuded by another mortal.

Vandalieu was under the protection of such a being; there was no possibility that he was just an ordinary person. Rudolf had already been aware that Vandalieu was extraordinary ever since learning that he was the tamer of the h.e.l.lhound he had encountered.

However, after infiltrating this city, he had become aware that Vandalieu was surrounded by allies who were as powerful as A-cla.s.s adventurers, or even more powerful than that. And it wasnt just his strength he controlled the red-light district and the slums, did charitable deeds such as donating to the orphanage and interacting with the orphans there, and for some reason, was very pa.s.sionate in musical activities.

In truth, upon learning of Vandalieus extraordinarity, Randolf had thought to infiltrate the city and investigate him with the objective of determining whether he was someone who would bring about a calamity that would cause the collapse of the nation, but he had already arrived at the conclusion that this was not the case.

To Randolf, the collapse of the nation was not something like a coup dtat where the king and prominent n.o.ble houses were removed and replaced. It was the physical destruction of cities and villages.

But there were no signs that Vandalieu intended to do any such thing. In fact, he seemed like he would support poor villages to get them back on their feet and break down criminal organizations to release cities from their grip.

These were widely considered to be benevolent deeds, and Randolf himself couldnt think of any reason to get in his way.

It was possible that his deeds would cause great problems for the king and n.o.bles to maintain their rule over their territories, but no matter how greatly Randolf was indebted to their ancestors, he could not care for them to that extent.

Randolf did not serve the nation, nor did he care to pretend to be the defender of the kingdom. There was no reason for him to do the bidding of the king and n.o.bles free of charge.

To begin with, it was the responsibility of those in power to improve the lives of the people and prevent poverty and the deterioration of public order. Unless those creating a revolution were brutally ma.s.sacring innocent people, there was no reason for Randolf to deal with them when he hadnt even been requested to do so.

Even if Vandalieu was left unchecked, resulting in the Ghouls and other members of Vidas races gaining an improved standing in society and Vidas wors.h.i.+ppers increasing in number, none of that was of any inconvenience to Randolf If members of Vidas races decided to persecute those of other races in revenge for their past persecution, it would be a different story, but it would be too cowardly to act on an uncertain danger.

Thus, Randolf had thought about simply leaving the city when his objective was accomplished, but just in case and out of curiosity, he had decided to meet Vandalieu before leaving the city.

However, Randolf regretted that now.

Curiosity killed the adventurer, huh. Ive become lax since I retired, it seems.

Vandalieu was not directing murderous intent, hostility, or ill will towards Randolf. He was expressionless but friendly. Randolf could tell that he was answering his questions as accurately as possible, using a wide range of vocabulary to make his answers easy to understand.

His voice was flat in tone but pleasant to the ears, and listening it to it made Randolf feel like the tension was leaving his shoulders.

There was no light in his eyes but they were deep, and Randolf felt the urge to gaze at them peer into them.

This sense of comfort, which can even be described as happiness, is dangerous. If I become submerged in it once, I will never be able to leave again. Its like a bottomless swamp. The atmosphere around Kanako changed suddenly the other day, but it cannot be compared to this.

Staying wary, Randolf kept his distance from Vandalieu and continued his interviewing with caution.

What Vandalieu perceived as respect was actually Randolf choosing his words carefully out of wariness.

Thank you very much. I think I will be able to create some good songs with what I have learned, said Randolf Rudolf, bringing the interview to an end and standing up from his seat to shake Vandalieus hand.

Thank you for interviewing me. Im glad to have been of use, said Vandalieu.

Now, all that was left for Randolf to do was leave the city. Of course, it would be conspicuous to leave the city the moment the interview was over, so he would put his affairs in order first.

As I thought, it seems that he hasnt realized my true ident.i.ty. Some were suspicious of me, so I might be followed for a while after I leave the city, but so be it. Ill continue to pretend to be a wandering bard until Im out of the Alcrem Duchy

, he thought.

Ah, by the way, how long will you be staying? asked Vandalieu, as if having read Randolfs mind.

Randolf, who has already turned away from Vandalieu, froze in place.

Not long. I think I shall say goodbye to Kanako-san this week and head for another city, he said.

Oh. Ill be joining next weeks concert as a performer, so I wanted you to see me performing, but also, I was hoping you could test my general purpose transformation equipment for performers, Rudolf-san. Is it too much to ask to postpone your plans? asked Vandalieu.

I see. I am honored, but I have plans, so Im afraid I must decline

, Randolf was thinking.

But for some reason, his mouth spoke the exact opposite answer.

I see. I have no urgent plans, so if its just one week

The Level of the Musical Instrument Performance Skill has increased!

Vandalieu had made his public return to the city of Morksi, but that didnt mean that he was continuously staying there. He was busily moving about, returning to the Demon Empire of Vidal to interact with the citizens and supervising the digging in Gartland.

Of course, there was no problem with leaving these tasks to the Demon King Familiars, which were split ent.i.ties of himself, but he felt hesitant to do so.

If I leave everything to the Demon King Familiars, my sense of ident.i.ty might be in danger, said Vandalieu, who was currently with Pauvina and Luvesfol.

He felt that he was at risk of forgetting which was the real him and which were split ent.i.ties.

I think youre overthinking things, you know, said Pauvina.

Pauvina, I think so too, but Im doing this just in case, said Vandalieu.

I do not understand why you do not feel more endangered, said Luvesfol.

Luves, would you like to be brushed? asked Vandalieu.

Please forgive me.

They were currently at the dig site in Gartland. They were halfway up a cliff in the land ruled by the Glaistigs, where Vandalieu had changed the terrain using the Golem Creation Skill to create a small plaza.

He had created this plaza for things necessary to the digging, such as setting up a staircase for Golems to descend to ground level, but it also served as an excellent observation platform.

To the left and right was the green of the terraced fields created by the Glaistigs and the rocky surface of the steep, precipitous cliffs, and the blue sea where Doraneza and her Merfolk lived was visible in the distance, as was the town governed by Yurak.

Looking even further, there were the snow-covered mountains and cliffs where the Snow Ice t.i.tans lived, as well as the desert of the Androscopions with their pyramid-like buildings.

In the future, perhaps this place could be used as a real observation platform. As he brushed Luvesfol with Pauvina, he made a mental note to make this suggestion to Zalzarit later.

Pain, who had started out as a Pain Worm but was now a moth-like monster that was larger than a Wyvern, made a sympathetic noise as he touched Luvesfols head with his antennae.

I-I do not need your pity, said Luvesfol, batting Pains antennae away, causing Pain to let out a shocked noise. I am not simply losing myself in pleasure!

However, considering that Luvesfol was currently lying on the ground, unable to stand on his hind legs, these words seemed to be nothing but putting up a brave front. Pain continued touching his head with his antennae over and over.

I am telling the truth! You are too persistent, Pain! Even if you tell me to be more honest with myself, I do not know what you are talking about! Luvesfol insisted.

I dont think you sound very convincing in that position, said Vandalieu.

At least your bodys being honest, Luves, said Pauvina.

Luvesfol screamed, his wings and tail shuddering as if they were convulsing. MERCYYYYY!

But it was inevitable for him to be in this state in the presence of both Vandalieu and Pauvina.

He knew that this would happen. As for why he had followed them to Gartland despite that, the answer was that this was a relatively comfortable place for him.

The G.o.ds of this place, including Povaz and Zozaseiba, had either fought as a part of the Demon Kings army or changed sides to join the Demon Kings army. The only exception was Marisjafar, so this was a pleasant place where there were no G.o.ds that he was on exceptionally bad terms with.

However, it wasnt as if he was being persecuted in the Demon Empire of Vidal. After Mardukes death, he had been punished by the Mountain Queen Elder Dragon G.o.d Tiamat, who was the Elder Dragon in Vidas faction with the greatest authority. He had also made apologies to the other Elder Dragons. More importantly, he had become a familiar (companion) of Pauvina.

Luvesfol simply didnt get along with the other Elder Dragons of Vidas faction.

To elaborate on this further, even in Gartland, the G.o.ds looked at him with pity at the fact that he had become the pet of Vandalieus adopted little sister.

That d.a.m.ned Zozaseiba. He told me that with one more wrong step, he would have ended up like me. Its true that I am nothing more than a pet, being brushed and forced to squirm and crawl on the ground but this is not the end for me! I will break this Wyvern seal, regain my Elder Dragon form, and prove my worth!

Luvesfol thought, but perhaps this was impossible for him; he was currently squirming and crawling on the ground in the present continuous tense.

He had originally been an Elder Dragon with a mixture of the water and earth attributes, who preferred swamps and small-to-medium-sized rivers and lakes over oceans. He had been able to fly, but not with the freedom, speed and ease that he could with his current body.

In other words, as long as he was still a Wyvern, his original form was as distant as a dream within a dream.

Meanwhile, Earth Golems and Clay Golems were pa.s.sing beside him.

Can you really call this a tunnel construction? Luvesfol asked Vandalieu, trying to distract himself from the pleasure that was coming from the parts of his body that had hair.

On this cliff, where the construction was taking place, was the entrance to a tunnel that was eight meters tall and ten meters wide.

While digging from Gartland to the surface, it was expected that numerous monsters would appear from within the dirt. Thus, the tunnel had to be large enough for combat personnel to fight.

It would be difficult for t.i.tans like Borkus to swing large weapons inside a normal-sized tunnel, and monsters with forms that were specialized in moving about in small s.p.a.ces would have the advantage.

However, digging such a large tunnel required double the labor. It was a simple increase in the volume of soil that was excavated and moved out of the tunnel. On top of that, the tunnel was more difficult to reinforce.

Vandalieu was solving these problems with the Golem Creation Skill.

By turning the earth and rock into Golems and having them walk out on their own, the problem of the labor required to dig out and remove the soil was solved. The tunnels structure was kept reinforced by having Golems made of rock form pillars.

It is tunnel construction, said Vandalieu. Normally, I should be hiring locals for the labor and paying them wages as a form of economical exchange, but that would take too much time, and it would be dangerous.

I wasnt thinking that far, said Luvesfol.

With this method, even when monsters come out, the first thing theyll attack is a Golem rather than a person, so its safer this way, said Pauvina.

And even if theres bedrock in the way, I can work around it efficiently by turning just a part of it into Golems, said Vandalieu.

Hearing this explanation, Luvesfol discarded yet another piece of his preconceived notion of common sense.

The truth is, there is a faster method, and another method that is more traditional. I could dig a tunnel by firing my World Piercing Destructive Hollow Cannon, or I could create a huge drill-shaped Demon King Familiar with Demon King fragments, said Vandalieu.

With a Hollow Cannon capable of piercing and destroying the world, it would be possible to dig a tunnel very quickly, easily piercing any bedrock, Mythril or Adamant.i.te ore veins, and the hundreds of monsters that were in the way.

Using a giant drill-shaped Demon King Familiar would take more effort than that, as the excavated soil would need to be removed, but it would be faster than the Golem transformation method.

But if you used World Piercing Destructive Hollow Cannon, the tunnel would probably collapse right after you make it, said Pauvina.

Yes, said Vandalieu. It would create a huge length of tunnel all at once, and reinforcing it completely in time wouldnt be possible. And I cant make any adjustments to the direction and distance, and if I miscalculate, it might even end up hitting Botin in her seal.

The seal on Botin created by the Demon King was certainly to be immensely powerful, as the G.o.d of Law and Fate Alda had been unable to remove it for over a hundred thousand years, but there was no guarantee that it would protect Botin from a direct hit from World Piercing Destructive Hollow Cannon.

To bring up another point, multiple uses of World Piercing Destructive Hollow Cannon from deep underground would release a tremendous amount of Mana, and it was possible that Gorn and his allies would take notice of it.

If he were to use a large drill-type Demon King Familiar, it was possible that the enemy would detect the noise. And after much thinking, Vandalieu had chosen the current excavation method of turning the soil into Golems, believing that it was the best way in terms of the amount of effort required as well.

As for us, we are content because we are able to sell the minerals mined in the excavation process, said Zalzarit, the leader of the Glaistig race whose territory the excavation site was in, as she climbed up from below the cliff. I have brought lunch, she added, pointing at the basket hanging from the scorpion tail that she possessed because she was a Pabilsag. We have prepared fruits and vegetables that were harvested this morning, as well as fish that has been salted with rock salt.

Several Glaistigs climbed up onto the cliff after her.

Thank you. Then let us take a break and have lunch, said Vandalieu.

As if in response to these words, a lion-like roar echoed from inside the tunnel.

Everyone looked towards the tunnel to see a Ghoul with a lions head and five arms, one of which was made of semi-transparent spirit-form Vigaro leap out of the entrance, scattering the earth and stone Golems in his way.

Vigaro, whats the matter? asked Vandalieu.

Sorry, it was pretty tough for me alone! Vigaro replied.

Five s.h.i.+ning, silver Golems emerged from the tunnel behind Vigaro. Unlike the obediently-walking Golems that Vigaro had sent flying, these Golems raised their arms and let out a roar that sounded like screeching metal.

The Golems are running rampant?! Zalzarit shouted, feeling overwhelmed by the Golems roars and raising her guard.

No, the Golems Van makes cant do anything on their own. I think theyre wild Golems, said Pauvina, showing no signs of panic.

Im sure theyre Golems that were formed when the minerals in the earth were contaminated by miasma, rather than Golems that were created by alchemy, said Vandalieu.

He hadnt reached that conclusion because the Golems were weak. He could discern that these five Golems were powerful enough to have made Vigaro choose to make a temporary retreat.

Theyre not made of iron. Mythril or Adamant.i.te, perhaps, Vandalieu said.

Wild Golems naturally-occurring Golems generally possessed low intelligence and they didnt use martial skills, let alone spells. They were monsters that used their superhuman strength and their toughness as their weapons. That strength was dependent on the materials that made up the Golems bodies.

Among such Golems, the ones made of Mythril and Adamant.i.te were considered to be the most powerful, with the exception of those made of Orichalc.u.m, which could only be refined by the G.o.ds.

Mythril had exceptional anti-magic properties, while Adamant.i.te was extremely physically durable. These creatures were equivalent to Rank 10 monsters.

Impossible! Groups of Iron Golems have appeared in tunnels in Gartland before, but to see Mythril or Adamant.i.te Golems, five of them at once, no less! C-can we handle these? said Zalzarit, unable to contain her panic at the sight of these powerful Golems that would not appear even as a Dungeon Boss in the Five G.o.ds Fortress.

But before Vandalieu could give her a reply, the battle began.

Drill, rocket, punch!

Rapiage, who had been waiting at the tunnels entrance to deal with any monsters that appeared, launched both of her fists from her arms. The fists, which were rotating at a rapid speed, struck the Golems in their sides, the sides of their heads, their shoulders, and their chests, sending them tumbling onto the ground.

The Golems roared in rage as they struggled to stand back up. Rapiage retrieved her fists and looked at where her fists had struck the Golems.

Marked ones, Mythril. The ones not marked, are Adamant.i.te, she said.

If one looked closely, the ones she said were made of Mythril had a clear mark where her fists had sunk into the sides of their heads, but the Adamant.i.te ones only had small dents.

Got it, sang four of Yamatas heads.

Lightning Spear!

Ice sphere!

Yamata unleashed a soundwave-cannon and several spells. The soundwave-cannon attacks focused on one of the Mythril Golems, while the spells focused on an Adamant.i.te one.

Both Rapiage and Yamata were Zombies who had been created using multiple corpses Rapiage had the torso of a female mage, the head of a female warrior, and the rest of her body was made of monster parts including her Ogre limbs. The base of Yamatas body was a mutant Orochi, a lower-ranking species of Dragon, and her heads had been replaced by the upper body halves of beautiful women of different races. Neither of them had possessed a great amount of intelligence at first.

And yet, the two of them had decided on their own to use an attack to determine the properties of their enemies, then use that information to use different types of attacks on them. Vandalieu was impressed and moved by how far they had come.

Its easier to tell them apart now. Thanks! said Vigaro, swinging his axe and dealing with the other three Golems.

Vigaro, how many of them were there to begin with? asked Vandalieu.

Im not sure! But when I defeated around ten of them, the tunnels ceiling collapsed a little! said Vigaro.

It seemed that the Golems had been too powerful to fight in a drawn-out battle at the front of the tunnel that hadnt yet been reinforced.

Indeed, by taking the fight outside, Vigaro was able to overwhelm three of the Golems on his own, using his axe that was made of Demon King fragments.

Vigaro looks like hell be fine, but I think Rapiage and Yamata will take some time, said Vandalieu. Pauvina.

You got it, said Pauvina in response, leaping into battle. Lets go, Luves, Pain!

Hmph, these are clearly enemies that I am poorly-matched against, but it cannot be helped! said Luvesfol, spreading his wings and taking to the air to follow Pauvina.

Pain let out a screech as he flew into the air as well.

Pauvinas Demon-King-fragment mace sank into the Adamant.i.te Golem, while Luvesfol and Pain tossed the Mythril golem around for Rapiages fists and Yamatas soundwaves to chip away at it.

Vandalieu was simply watching, as there was no need for him to get involved, but as he was giving commands, his Group Commander Skill an awakened, superior version of the Commanding Skill was active, strengthening the abilities of Pauvina and everyone else.

These Golems had no merits other than their strength and toughness, and they werent even capable of coordinating their efforts with each other. They were helpless against this a.s.sault.

The only thing that Vandalieu needed to worry about now was reinforcing the tunnel but just as this thought crossed his mind, Luvesfol let out a scream after striking the Mythril Golems back with his tail.

F-forgive me! Forgive me! he shouted.

Luves?! Pauvina exclaimed in shock.

A white, bone-shaped object was protruding from Luvesfols tail.

It seems that something was mixed with the Mythril ore and absorbed when it turned into a Golem, said Vandalieu.

For now, punch! said Rapiage, as she and Pauvina left the panicking Luvesfol in Pains care and focused their attacks on the Mythril Golem.

The Adamant.i.te Golem fell silent after Vandalieu fired a beam of light at it.

Pain squeaked as he released scales with tranquilizing properties on Luvesfol, who was lying limp on the ground, and he pulled the bone-shaped object out of Luvesfols tail.

But in the next moment, he dropped it in shock.

Lets have a look, said Vandalieu.

Vandalieu, its dangerous! For us, I mean! n.o.body will be able to stop you if you go into a panicked state! Vigaro shouted in warning.

No, theres no reaction from Danger Sense: Death, and I have Status Effect Immunity and Deformed Multiple Souls. Ah, but just in case, Zalzarit, you and everyone else should stand back, said Vandalieu.

Alright! Everyone, get back! said Zalzarit, having the Glaistigs step back as she continued observing the situation.

Vandalieu picked up the object. It seemed to be a fragment of bone. It hadnt been fossilized it was a white bone that still had its original hardness and density.

However, the front end of the tunnel was deep in the earth, far beneath the surface. It was a place where it was impossible for a bone to be discovered in a non-fossilized state. And it was difficult to believe that Mythril Golems had formed above the surface and dug more than ten thousand meters into the ground while carrying it.

Most importantly, there was an extraordinary amount of Mana inside the bone fragment.

It seems to be the bone of a demiG.o.d, one that is so powerful that Valfaz and Radatel cant even be compared to them. Do you know what it is? Vandalieu asked Luvesfol.

Still lying on the ground, Luvesfol replied: That is the bone of the father of all Elder Dragons Marduke-sama, the Dragon Emperor G.o.d.
