The Death Mage that doesn't want a fourth time

29 The Black Ghoul King and the One-Armed Sword King

Note from the translator:

I've done a big cleanup with the series, tidying up the text a little and fixing some translations. Many skill names were introduced before introducing what the skills do in detail, so they were initially mistranslated or given unsuitable names. Most of this has been fixed!Death Mage v2.0 changelog

The following changes have been applied to all previous chapters and will be applied to all chapters from now on as well.

Orkas -> Orcus, due to popular demand.

Job and Experience Points are now capitalized.

X-attribute, X-attribute magic and X-attribute mage are no longer capitalized unless referring to a skill.

In Vandalieu's status pages, endurance -> stamina. More accurate, and I've been translating the word as stamina everywhere else. Also, Stamina is now capitalized.

Limit Break -> Surpass Limits. I initially named this Limit Break because Final Fantasy 7 and 8 were a big part of my childhood, but it doesn't really fit what the skill actually does, sadly.

Golem Creation -> Golem Transmutation. More accurate and suitable as Vandalieu uses this for more than just making the Golems.

Magic Mastery -> Mana Control. More accurate for what the skill actually does, even though it's a slight deviation from the raw.

Spirit Body -> Spirit Form. This one's bothered me for a while. Spirit Form is a far more suitable name for what the skill actually is, especially since it's not necessarily the whole body turning into Spirit Form at once.

Vandalieu/Undead's Night Vision -> Dark Vision. This is to distinguish it from the Ghouls' Night Vision skill, which is a different skill. I'd never noticed because the first kanji in both skills are extremely similar and both mean "dark/darkness". 闇視 = Dark Vision, possessed by Vandalieu, the Undead and the Ghouls' monster babies (Black Goblins, Anubises, Orcuses). 暗視 = Night Vision, possessed by Ghouls. Thanks to trueAntiSanity for pointing this out.

Demon Light -> Demon Fire. More accurate and suitable for the skill.

While Vandalieu was in the royal castle with Nuaza to recruit the【Sword King】Borkus, the main members of the group that knew Vandalieu well, except for Sam, were gathered in a certain room in one of Talosheim's buildings.

「It seems that everyone has gathered here besides Sam-dono who cannot leave his carriage.」(Zadiris)

「So, Zadiris, what were you planning after gathering us all here?」(Tarea)

「If I'm not mistaken, nobody called for you to be here, though.」(Basdia)

Elegantly hiding her mouth behind a folding fan that she had made herself from Ent wood, Tarea gave a small laugh in response to Basdia glaring at her through half-closed eyes.

「I cannot miss this meeting after hearing that we are gathering to form a plan to comfort Van-sama, after all.」(Tarea)

「Muuh, I do not recall saying anything of the sort, just where did you hear this? Well, it is fine.」(Zadiris)

Zadiris had planned to have a discussion with only those who knew about Vandalieu's circumstances... His past lives, the god, the one hundred people who would be reincarnated here. But since Vandalieu seemed to trust Tarea considerably, Zadiris decided that there would be no problem long as she was careful with her words, and started the meeting.

「Now then, the reason I have gathered everyone here today is to make you aware that the boy needs rest, and because I wish for you to cooperate with me in making the boy rest.」(Zadiris)

Zadiris brought up the topic of discussion, but this only caused confusion to stir among the people in the room.

『Rest, did you say? Bocchan is sleeping well every night.』(Saria)

『Yeah, he's always sound asleep.』(Rita)

Saria and Rita, who were attending the meeting on Sam's behalf, spoke their opinions. Vandalieu was in fact sleeping well as the two of them said. He didn't even turn over in his sleep, and his breathing was soft.
