Chapter 178.2 - v8 character part1

Title explanation: Trial Conqueror

A Title given to those who have conquered a difficult trial given to them by a god. In most cases, these trials are given by gods such as Alda, the god of law and fate, and those who conquer these trials are respected by the gods who gave them the trials and the people who knew about the trials.

In Vandalieu’s case, he conquered the Trial of Zakkart imposed upon him by Gufadgarn, the evil god of labyrinths, so this effect is limited to only within the Boundary Mountain Range.

Many who possess this Title go on to live complicated lives with drastic events after they are noticed by the gods, but it is unclear as to whether this is an effect of the Title itself.

Title explanation: Transgressor

A Title given to a being who creates something new by transgressing and disturbing the boundaries between good and evil, between god and man, between one world and another, between man and monster, between one region and another. It symbolizes a trickster of myths and legends, and a cultural hero.

One who possesses this Title cannot be said to be absolutely good, but it also cannot be said that they are evil.

In Lambda’s mythology, Zuruwarn, the god of space and creation, has often played this role, which conflicts with Alda, the god of law and fate who rules over order, and his followers.

The Title provides bonuses to boundary-transgressing acts… such as the appearance of previously-unknown Jobs, acquiring unknown Skills and inventing new things. On the other hand, it also has the side-effect of making encounters with unusual problems more frequent, but those who possess this Title are unlikely to be the type of person who would struggle in such situations.

However, as this Title is almost always granted by the gods, there are almost no humans in history who have acquired this Title while they were alive. Because of this, most people do not understand its meaning and effects.

In Vandalieu’s case, he is transgressing and disturbing the boundary between life and death in addition to the above-mentioned boundaries. To those who believe in the current world order, he would be considered evil, but he is unmistakably good to those who receive the blessings of his actions.

Skill explanation: Superior Skills

Skills have a Level limit of 10. Superior Skills are Skills that have passed that limit and become new Skills with new names. Their bonuses, effects and the martial skills and spells they make possible are incomparably superior… or so it is widely considered.

They are generally awakened in those well-accomplished masters of combat or expert mages who have studied over a long period of time; there are no humans who innately possess a superior Skill.

The most common name change that Skills undergo is the word “King” being added to the original Skill’s name. (For example, the ‘Sword King’ Borkus’s Swordsmanship becoming Sword King Technique.)

There are also superior Passive Skills that have no relationship with the Skill owner’s actual ability, such as Monstrous Strength, which transforms from Superhuman Strength, and Super Rapid Regeneration, which transforms from Rapid Regeneration. These are individuals that innately possess these superior Skills, but they are almost always monsters.

As monsters are inferior to humans in the aspect of handing down and preserving their abilities, there are almost none that awaken superior Skills other than these Passive Skills. This is one of the advantages that humans have over monsters.

However, this does not apply to humans that acquire superior Skills and then become Undead, Vida’s races or true Colossi and Elder Dragons.

Incidentally, a Skill becoming a superior Skill is called an awakening.

Because the acquisition of a superior Active Skill requires long years of training and a talent in the relevant area of expertise, it is thought that there are almost none who possess multiple.

(Due to this, Bone Man is considered an irregular existence in human society.)

Vandalieu Zakkart – Dhampir (Dark Elf), 10 years old, male

Now a teenager, he has become the emperor who rules the area within the Boundary Mountain Range, had an audience with Vida and the other gods, and conquered the Trial of Zakkart, acquiring a surname and gaining an evil god as a new companion. (He later froze in shock upon learning that ten-year-old children were still not yet considered teenagers.)

TLN: In Japanese, ages are usually grouped in groups of 10 years – 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, etc. It is apparently surprising to Vandalieu that the English word “teenager” does not correspond exactly to the 10-19 category.

As of the end of the 8th volume, he is waiting for the resurrection of Darcia, who is growing inside a capsule.

Inside the Trial of Zakkart, he distributed his divine protection among his close companions and personally developed even further, awakening multiple superior Skills.

He tamed countless Demons through fear (though he did this unconsciously); these Demons represent a fighting force capable of destroying a large nation without the protection of S and A-class adventurers… though it is unclear as to whether Demons would faithfully obey Vandalieu’s commands when they are separated from him.

He has acquired the Disease Demon Job, and through the Group Thought Processing Skill, it has become possible for even transformed objects from his own body to possess his thoughts. Combined with the Long-distance Control Skill, he can manipulate Demon King fragments released from his body like homing missiles.

… When fired using Artillery Technique, the projectile speed of the fragments is too fast and they reach their destination before he can do any manipulation, so this ability is currently limited to use with the Throwing Skill.

Outside of combat, this ability is useful for manipulating pathogens generated from his own blood to make them infect only targets that he designates. The result is a 100% natural (self-created), ecologically-friendly pesticide.

His acquisition of Earth’s Dark Gods’ Divine Protection has influenced the Jobs that he is able to change into. However, he does not know what kind of deities the gods of Earth are and he only possesses a partial knowledge of Earth’s myths and legends, so he does not understand the true meaning of the divine protection.

However, this does not mean that he is not grateful. He once offered hayashi rice to the statue of Zuruwarn, the one who had negotiated for this divine protection.

Vandalieu is living a fulfilling life, having gained new friends such as Oniwaka of the Kijin nation, and succeeded in raising a second child (Quinn).

At this point in time, one month after the conquering of the Trial of Zakkart, he is waiting for the members of the Storm of Tyranny. In the meantime, he is dealing with the work and domestic affairs that had accumulated in Talosheim during his absence, putting efforts into the development of the various nations and testing whether the effects of Blood Potion can be improved by dissolving the Demon King’s claws in it. He is also spending time around the capsule inside which Darcia’s body is developing, doing prenatal-care-like things. In other words, he is talking to the capsule.

Rather than being a heartwarming scene between a mother and child, it looks more like a mad scientist talking to a mysterious artificial life-form. The presence of Gufadgarn and Luciliano only adds to that effect, but… not a single one of them have noticed this.

He had once wondered,

Is Gufadgarn really happy serving me, considering that I am not actually Zakkart himself? I don’t have his memories or anything.

Now, he does not pay much attention to this, as Gufadgarn herself does not seem to mind.

He has been summoned for audiences in the Divine Realms of great gods, an event that is rare even in the entire, long history of Lambda. However, his religious views have not changed drastically. He simply has a few religious customs in his everyday life, such as putting his hands together before and after each of his three daily meals.

But as he has become aware that Vida and the other gods do indeed love him and his companions, his sense of faith in them has grown deeper.

What troubles him these days is the question of what kind of Undead to make out of the corpse of Martina, which he brought back with him from the Trial of Zakkart. He has been considering asking Luciliano or Legion (Iris) to remodel her.

Darcia – Race unknown, female, currently undergoing reincarnation

The powerless spirit of the Dark Elf who was Vandalieu’s mother. She was an adventurer while alive, using a bow and spiritual magic. However, her abilities were only that of a D-class adventurer; she was not particularly strong.

But at this point in time, a new body is being created for her, using the root of life that was one of the relics left behind by Zakkart, as well as the materials of high-Rank monsters, fragments of the Demon King, an Orichalcum skeleton and Vida’s crystallized blood.

Her mind has been summoned to Vida’s Divine Realm, where she is receiving direct training from heroic spirits that left their names in myths and legends.

It is considered to be certain that when she is resurrected, she will have transformed into something new, neither her body nor mind confined within the limits of a Dark Elf.

Perhaps because she has spent about ten years simply watching Vandalieu develop, she is not very aware of the fact that she herself is growing stronger. It can be assumed that her sense of development is so warped that she would not consider herself to have become stronger unless she becomes Rank 10 or an A-class adventurer.

Gufadgarn – Evil god, ? years old, hermaphroditic

The evil god of labyrinths, previously a part of the Demon King’s army. She was blessed with the unusual destiny of becoming a god from a member of a primitive race that moves solely on their natural instincts. However, because of her origin, the natural instincts that she lost left behind a sense of emptiness that was hard to fill. She adored and worshipped Zakkart for being able to fill that emptiness.

She possessed a nihilistic personality; she was the type of god who obeyed any order (including those of the Demon King) because she could not see any reason to disobey them.

Ever since she came to adore Zakkart, her sense of values and beliefs became based upon him, her worship of him becoming the center of her personality.

Before that, she saw no value in anything in the world, not even herself. But after meeting Zakkart, she realized that the world was amazing just by existing and that life was a beautiful thing.

However, with Zakkart’s destruction at the hands of the Demon King Guduranis, she lost the core of her personality and entered a state of mental anguish.

She was focused on taking revenge against the Demon King during the war against the Demon King’s army. She cooperated with Vida, the goddess who had chosen Zakkart. She served the Vampire True Ancestor after Vida gave birth to him. After Vida was defeated by Alda and sealed away, Gufadgarn wielded her power to help the members of Vida’s races that had fled to the region within the Boundary Mountain Range. Gufadgarn did all of this in an effort to distract herself from her sense of emptiness.

But in the end, she could not do so. Unable to bear the emptiness any longer, she fell into slumber.

However, a hundred years ago, she received Divine Messages from Vida and Ricklent. Misinterpreting them, she created the Trial of Zakkart and began Teleporting around the world to search for Zakkart’s successor.

As a result, countless followers of Alda faced the trial and lost their lives, though this hadn’t been a part of Gufadgarn’s intentions… She always wondered why they kept misunderstanding the Dungeon’s purpose and ventured inside despite the sign that she had created.

However, she didn’t want endless waves of capable adventurers and believers of Alda entering the Dungeon with the objective of destroying Zakkart’s relics, so she did not post any further explanation outside the Dungeon beyond the sign.

She has generally treated the followers of the gods of Vida’s faction with courtesy, listening to them and taking action based on their circumstances. However, she is rather impolite towards the gods other than Vida.

Among Vandalieu’s companions, she considers herself as a newcomer and believes that it is only natural for her to show them respect.

It is thought that the behaviors described above are a result of her not having a strong sense that she is a divine being, and because she respected Zakkart’s past of having worked for a long time as the second manager of a small-town factory.

However, as her mental structure is fundamentally different from that of a human, she often misinterprets things. This causes no small number of incidents where she becomes a “polite, crazy troublemaker” towards those around her.

As a god, she rules over the space attribute, and her original appearance is one that contradicts the laws of physics in Lambda; she was a spider or scorpion made of blocks in the shape of equilateral heptahedrons.

At the request of the first Zakkart, she took the form of a human-shaped Golem, and now she inhabits a vessel that resembles an Elf girl.

The vessel is not actually an Elf girl; it is an object disguised as an Elf girl, created with one of his Dungeon’s functions.

Gufadgarn is recognized as a girl and participates in the bust ranking.

Zadiris – Ghoul Wizard High Princess, 299 years old, female

The protagonist’s magic instructor who has now become a princess. She is the oldest female mage among Talosheim’s Ghouls. She even has a grandchild.

She is developing rapidly as a mage, but she spends her days troubled by the fact that she is a princess despite the fact that she is the oldest Ghoul and has a granddaughter.

She is envious of Quinn and Eisen, as they acquired race titles with Queen and Empress when their Ranks increased. She is experimenting with various things using trial and error in order to figure out how she can graduate from being a princess, but this has produced no results so far.

However, she is popular as a magical girl among the young children of Talosheim including her own granddaughter Jadal, and the transformation staff that Vandalieu made functions exceptionally and cannot be replaced.

Over time, she has acquired the ‘Magical Girl’ Title and the ‘Magical Girl’ Job appeared during her next Job-change. There weren’t any other available Jobs that she could change to, so she chose it.

In fact, the thing she is most worried about might be the fact that she has started to find herself thinking, “Maybe this is not so bad after all.”

In terms of her ability, it is now difficult for even an A-class adventurer to defeat her. Although she has not awoken any superior Skills, she is a powerful mage.

Incidentally, her race title and Job contained “princess,” but she hasn’t grown any shorter, nor has her body become any less womanly. Also, she has acquired a mysterious (?) divine protection.

Basdia – Ghoul Amazoness ■■■■, 27 (33) years old, female

She had hit a wall in her development, but when she left the Trial of Zakkart, she had become Rank 10. However, for some reason, she has kept quiet about this and not told anyone.

She seems to be troubled over something; there is an unusual sorrow in her eyes when she watches her mother Zadiris from behind.

But I have to reveal it eventually,

she thinks as she looks at her daughter Jadal, who excitedly shouts, “Grandma is a magical girl!”

After the conquering of the Trial of Zakkart, she has spent less time hunting and more time with Jadal and helping her friend who is also a mother, Bilde, raise her child. She interacts with the other Ghoul women who are raising their small children as siblings with different mothers while scolding her father Vigaro, looking at him sternly and saying, “I think you should do some better family planning.”

She is respected by the Ghoul women who were living in the Sauron region and the region within the Boundary Mountain Range.

Why do they respect me instead of Mother, our elder?

she wonders, but even so, she sometimes hosts lectures and oversees the training of those who apply for them.

Perhaps because of this, there have recently been other Ghouls becoming Ghoul Amazonesses.

Vigaro – Ghoul Soul Tyrant, 173 years old, male

He became a Ghoul Astral Tyrant and although he is not an Undead, he acquired the Spirit Form Skill, which he uses to create a fifth arm that he uses to hold a shield or for stability and mobility by gripping the ground.

After that, a vertically tall, thin Vandalieu appeared in his dreams once more inside the Trial of Zakkart, offering a piece of flesh that was dripping with blood. Once Vigaro ate it, he gained a mysterious (?) divine blessing. His Rank increased and his race changed, and he is now a Rank 11 Ghoul Soul Tyrant.

After that, he changed Jobs to a previously undiscovered Job called ‘Dark Axeman.’

He has awakened Death Lion Axe Technique, a superior Skill of Axe Technique, and his strength in battle is surpassing A-class and entering the realm of S-class.

He sees the progress of the magical girl Zadiris and continues training hard to reach new heights… He has become even more popular with the women because of his strength, but Basdia angrily told him that he should do more proper family planning, so he has not put his hands on any new partners… and he will likely not do so for another twenty years or so.

Borkus – Zombie Legend Hero, male

Borkus’s Rank has increased to a legendary race title after having fought with the incarnation of an evil god. But he struggles more with the unexpected wedding proposals being thrown at him than he did with the evil god’s incarnation.

He was an A-class adventurer and reasonably popular with women while he was alive, but that was after diplomatic relations began between the former Talosheim and the Hartner Duchy. Before that, he was a master swordsman who was considered one of the five most powerful warriors in the nation, but as the former Talosheim was a city state with a population of only about five thousand, it was not an environment where men took multiple wives.

Thus, even though he was an A-class adventurer, he was not used to this aspect of the occupation that other A-class adventurers of human societies would experience.

His current fighting strength is unquestionably equivalent to that of an S-class adventurer.

Incidentally, the Vandalieu that appeared in his dream apparently had normal proportions, but had grown to be the same size as Borkus himself.

Jeena – Zombie High Saint, female

The ‘Saint of Healing’ who lives a fulfilling life, being part of activities such as organizing the first bodybuilding competition in Talosheim and accompanying Vandalieu’s party in the Trial of Zakkart. Her Rank increased inside the trial, and she is now a Rank 11 Zombie High Saint.

Vida, the goddess she worships, has been revived, so she believes that Talosheim has at least a thousand years of future prosperity guaranteed.

But she does not voice this opinion, as she would be scolded by Vandalieu, whom she refers to as “Your-Majesty-kun,” and Chezare, who serves as both prime minister and general.

After returning from the Trial of Zakkart, she has been spending her time reexamining the judging criteria for bodybuilding to improve its quality as a competition and stopping Nuaza, who seems to not be learning his lesson, from constructing more statues of Vandalieu.

The reason she stops him is because she prefers the small Vandalieu to big ones.

Incidentally, the Vandalieu that appeared when she received her mysterious (?) divine protection was small enough to fit in the palm of her hand, but had split into countless numbers.

Zandia – Zombie High Princess, female

The old Talosheim’s Second Princess who reached Rank 10 and became a Zombie High Princess inside the Trial of Zakkart.

Her personally-tailored transformation staff is not yet complete, but she will likely be the next magical girl after Zadiris. She does not have any objections to transformation itself, but she wants to become more adult-like in the future.

She ranks low on the bust rankings and has been deluding herself into thinking that it was a good thing because she was a scarce commodity, but her position has been put in danger by Gufadgarn’s vessel.

Zakkart-san, why didn’t you ask for a beautiful woman instead of a beautiful girl?!

she thinks internally, blaming the champion… though this is likely just her venting her frustration, which she regrets afterwards.

Once she becomes a reasonably capable magical girl, she intends to have her transformation staff remodeled to be more queen-like rather than princess-like, hopefully becoming more adult-like when her Rank increases again.

Eleanora – Abyssal Vampire Duchess, 13 years old (20 years old at time of Vampire transformation, 33 years old in total), female

Having accompanied Vandalieu in the Trial of Zakkart and acquired (what is assumed to be) his divine protection, she is enjoying the spring of life in this world – no, an everlasting summer. She and Isla are rivals as always, but all things considered, she is living a fulfilling life.

Her only worry was her past service of a Vampire faction serving an evil god, but she is at ease after finding out that neither the gods in Vida’s Resting Grounds nor Gufadgarn are concerned about it.

As Vandalieu is a Dhampir, Eleanora has been mistaken for his mother several times, so she is looking forward to Darcia’s resurrection in that regard… though if one thinks about it, it is obvious that nothing would change and she would continue to be mistaken for his mother unless Darcia’s new body happens to resemble Vandalieu very strongly.

Darcia was a Dark Elf while she was alive, while Vandalieu could pass for a half-Elf if he covered his eyes; his skin so white that it looks as if he is ill. The only physical feature she has in common with him is the one bluish-purple eye.

Eleanora accompanies Vandalieu with the training of his Abyss Skill by using her Charming Demon Eyes; each time she does, their effects are reflected and she is charmed by Vandalieu… although there is little change, as she is already charmed by him of her own will.

Lately, Zadiris has spoken a curse to her, saying that she should become a Vampire Princess. Eleanora was twenty years old when she became a Vampire, so she wants to be more like a lady or even a queen, and she wishes to avoid wearing a transformation costume covered in ribbons and frills. However, she does not dislike the idea to the point that she would reject it under any circumstances.

If Vandalieu-sama desires it, then it matters not,

is what she thinks about the matter… though this is also partially due to the fact that the transformation staves are highly effective in function and not just for show.

The truth is Isla is thinking the same thing, but Eleanora is not yet aware of this.

Incidentally, her ability is closing in on that of her parent, the Pure-breed Vampire Birkyne, but she has almost forgotten of Birkyne’s existence entirely at this point. Her thoughts of him amount to, “Come to think of it, there was a guy by that name.”

She is more focused on being proud of the fact that her Self-enhancement: Subordination has awakened into the superior Skill, Super Self-enhancement: Subordination.

Isla – Vampire Marquess Zombie, female

She is the captain of the female order of knights called the Dark Night Knights’ Order, but in the 8th volume, she left command of the knights’ order to an adjutant in order to accompany Vandalieu’s party in the Trial of Zakkart. The reason for this is simply because she wanted to go.

She has received a Magic Item chain to attach to the collar that Vandalieu gave her, increasing her impression of a loyal dog. Vandalieu even pulled on it to stop her in the Trial of Zakkart.

This is something that she is proud of; she boasted about it to her subordinates after the party returned from the Dungeon, and she uses this as a source of morale, telling them that following after her isn’t an unachievable dream if they start making their own accomplishments.

Incidentally, the morale of her subordinates did actually increase from this.

Some of the Pure-breed Vampires shuddered upon hearing this, reacting with something along the lines of, “Eww, I don’t know if it’s because they’ve become Undead, but the ones with

their

(Ternecia and Gubamon’s) blood in them are all perverts.”

However, Isla is not constantly strange; she apparently behaved seriously as a senior should when she was helping Pauvina, Privel and the others with their leveling.

She is one of the people who have received (what is being called) the magical girl’s curse, but considering how painful this would be due to how old she physically looks, she seriously wishes to avoid this… She currently has the appearance of an evil female manager, but this is apparently not painful to her.

However, she is also willing to gladly become one “if Vandalieu-sama desires it.” But even if this came to pass, she would likely refuse to part with her chain and collar.

Incidentally, she has acquired the Mount Skill, intending to use it in any future ceremonies that may take place.

Bellmond – Abyssal Vampire Duchess (forest-monkey-type Beast-person), female

Vandalieu’s female Vampire steward. Always carries an hourglass, as she serves as judge for quarrels between Eleanora and Isla. By having body parts transplanted from a Live-Dead made from her parent, the Pure-breed Vampire Ternecia, she has gained a voluptuous body that she is now accustomed to, and she is able to carry out nimble defensive movements.

Perhaps because of this, she has acquired the Kunoichi Job… She was confused by the fact that Kunoichi wear fishnet tights, but she has accepted it, thinking that it
