Even the god that he had discovered really existed had made no effort to help him.

『I'm sorry, Vandalieu...』(Darcia)

And then, right before Vandalieu's eyes, Darcia was about to be taken from him as well.

『It seems Mommy's at her limit now.』(Darcia)

Darcia's form, which was already faint to begin with, began to blur and her voice began to waver. Her spiritual form was reaching its limits on how long it could remain in this world.

『Wait! Mom, you can't go!』(Vandalieu)

Darcia would be going to the afterlife, into the hands of that god of transmigration, Rodcorte. If he found out that Vandalieu had lost his mother on Lambda, he would surely be laughing. Rodcorte would laugh at Vandalieu, hoping that he would feel more despair, hoping that he would give up. Vandalieu did not want this, he couldn't allow it to happen, he couldn't bear it.

『I'm sorry. I wanted to talk to you like this a lot more. I wanted to see you grow big, turn into an adult. I wanted to see you find a wife, have children and become happy.』(Darcia)

『I got it, Mom.』(Vandalieu)

Vandalieu had 45,000,000 Mana remaining. He poured all of it into Darcia's spirit.

『Eh, ah, ah, ah? Vanda – aaaah!』(Darcia)

In the same way as when he created Undead, he poured his Mana into Darcia, whose fleeting spiritual form looked as if it could disappear at any moment. It was like pouring water into a bucket with a hole in the bottom, but even with a hole, the bucket would be filled if a vast amount of water was poured into it.

『Next, I need a vessel that Mom can possess...』(Vandalieu)

He couldn't use a random stone, tool or bone. If he used something like that, it would be difficult for it to preserve Darcia's personality for long.

If it were possible, her original body would have been best, but her body was now a pile of ash.

『Isn't there something I can use?』(Vandalieu)

He had Bone Monkey search the pile of ash and found one of Darcia's scorched bones. It was a fragment small enough to fit into Vandalieu's tiny hand.

『This will do. Mom, inside here.』(Vandalieu)

Darcia, who was having an enormous amount of Mana poured into her, tried to defy her son's request.

This was for his sake.

It was tragic, but she was already dead. Even if she was turned into an Undead, it would be different from when she was alive. Being by her son's side in such a form wouldn't be of benefit to him. In fact, it would have a negative influence.

That was why, even though she wanted to be by his side longer, she tried to separate herself from him as she fought back her tears, but –

【You have acquired the Death-Attribute Charm skill!】

I want to be by his side, I want to be by his side, I want to be by his side, I want to be with him forever! I don't want to separate myself from this child!

『I understand. I'll be with you forever.』(Darcia)

Darcia's mind was filled with one thought, and she willingly inhabited her own remains.

『With this, I've recovered Mom, even though it's just her spirit. I'll create a new body for her one day.』(Vandalieu)

Vandalieu had gathered the Mana needed to maintain Darcia's spirit form and a vessel for her to inhabit. But it was just a bone fragment, after all. But she couldn't move of her own will and could do nothing but sleep until Vandalieu decided to speak to her.

That was why he definitely had to increase his skill with Death-Attribute Magic and create a vessel for her with which she could live a normal life, just as she had when she was alive.

『But before that, I have to get revenge on these guys.』

The Baronet and his servants, the Church, the adventurers, the hunters, the townspeople – Vandalieu would take revenge on all of them.

He would never be satisfied until he did so; it made no sense that they would suffer no punishment whatsoever. It would be far too absurd.

『But right now... I'm at my limit.』

He had less than a tenth of his Mana left. His head was hurting, he was thirsty, hungry and sleepy... He had demanded too much from his six-month-old body.

『I'm sorry, Mom. I'll avenge you later... Bone Monkey, go back the way we came.』

Bone Monkey picked up Vandalieu in his arms and left Evbejia, bones rattling as he walked. The outer wall that had opened a hole for Vandalieu and Bone Monkey to pass through returned back to normal and the group of Undead that had been waiting followed after Bone Monkey.

The people were completely unaware that they had stirred the hatred of someone they shouldn't have.
