The Death Mage that doesn't want a fourth time

123 They're coming! But let's prioritize going south for now

"A number of the guys who will possibly become my enemies... the reincarnated individuals, have died in Origin. About ten of them."

Upon hearing Vandalieu's words, everyone's eyes suddenly sharpened and became tense.

"Ten people like that Kaidou Kanata person... Your Majesty, we must kill them as quickly as possible!" Princess Levia exclaimed.

"Please calm down, we don't know where they are yet. I understand how you feel, but it's impossible to go and search the entire continent," said Eleanora.

These two were the only ones who had seen a reincarnated individual other than Vandalieu in person.

That reincarnated individual, Kaidou Kanata, had been quite the degenerate; he had repeatedly committed senseless murders and rapes before he showed himself before Vandalieu. On top of that, he had used extremely dirty methods, such as getting on his knees to try and make Vandalieu let his guard down.

However, in the end, he had been tormented and killed without being able to land a single blow back against Vandalieu, and he had been extinguished by having his soul broken.

But the ability that Kanata had received from Rodcorte, Gungnir, had been powerful. It was a penetration ability that allowed the user to choose objects to phase through; it was theoretically possible for attacks to be one-sided, passing through any kind of armor, walls or spells. Depending on the object to be phased through, it could consume large amounts of Mana, but the ability itself didn't have any weaknesses.

The reason Vandalieu had been able to defeat Kanata in a one-sided fashion was because Kanata had completely underestimated Vandalieu, and because he had used Gungnir recklessly when committing his crimes, giving information regarding the ability to the spirits of Hannah and his other victims.

In other words, if the other reincarnated individuals possessed cheat-like abilities as powerful as Kanata's but were careful, cautious and patient unlike him, they could become formidable enemies.

"Hmm, special life-forms that have acquired the divine protection of the god of reincarnation... Master, once you kill them, could I please receive pieces of their flesh or their hair, or even their ashes if that is not possible?" said Luciliano.

"Luciliano, you're being too hasty. We don't know where they are yet, either," said Vandalieu.

"Umm, for now, let's think about things after we hear what Van-kun has heard from this... Legion-chan? I don't really understand these cheat-like ability things," said Privel.

"It's a long story," said Vandalieu.

He told everyone everything that he had heard from Legion. Because he'd gained almost no information from the previously-defeated Kaidou Kanata, this was the first substantial information that he had received regarding the reincarnated individuals.

And for Vandalieu himself, this was the first information that he had gained regarding what had happened in Origin after his death.

Honestly, he didn't care about what had happened after he died in a world where he had spent his whole life as an experimental animal until he turned into an Undead and went on his rampage. However, the fact that the entire world had fallen into chaos after the loss of death-attribute Mana, and the fact that the military nation in which the research laboratory was had been dismantled, was good news.

But the fact that the other experimental animals that he had saved were secured by Amemiya Hiroto and the others, only to be handed to a different laboratory to become experimental animals again later, was not good news.
