The Necromancers
Ch. 49.2:The End of Wearing (2)

The Regard POV

I knew this would be hard to do.

The first plan, I planned to destroy his abilities and powers with the same abilities, but it ended up in vain which caused my other self, my clone to be lost when it was gone.

"....."

Should I try to use a second plan? No, I think it's very difficult to do if I do it carelessly without thinking, it will make my body burdened.

"Maybe it's better if I use something against him."

Rather than continue to remain idle for nothing, I chose to exit the Shilph Dimension towards the place where Stahark and his clone were, I appeared which made the two of them not surprised by my presence.

"As I thought, you're really a genius at doing it huh."

Genius yes.

Maybe Stahark thought that my actions were genius, but the truth is that I deliberately used bait to find out what he had and did, I looked more like a coward than a brave man.

Forgetit. It's better if I end things quickly this time.

"Oh.. It seems you're really serious huh."

Sure do. No matter whether you are able to absorb everything or not, I will just end it quickly and easily this time without letting yourself do anything to me.

•••••

the towering [Infinity Spirit] changed form into the appearance of a black figure clad in a dark purple robe, as well as the [Fenrir Mode] that changed the shape of the [Infinity Spirit] into the form of Fenrir wrapped by a purple robe with its tail numbering 4 tails, on his back was a Regard who was wrapped in a purple and blue aura at the same time, his body that turned into an adult woman without any clothes, his arms and legs, which had long, dense feathers, looked exactly the same as Fenrir.

"It's exciting."

The Stahark Cloning that activated [Infinity Spirit] was combined by the Stahark form that had a half-body monster from the waist to the head, it was coated by the armor made from [Infinity Spirit], it was coated by the armor made from, the dark purple-colored armor was fairly complete completely.

"....."

Shocked at what he saw, the desperate Regard had no other choice but to advance to finish him off immediately.

Fenrir who was running fast towards Stahark, drove away using [High Acceleration] which made his movement faster than lightning, lunging with both of his arms forward, holding both of Stahark's empty hands.

Not wasting a chance, Regard who opened Fenrir's mouth, gave out a large amount of mana, activated the [Element Burst] which was packed between the five elements into one; fire, water, wind, stone, and stone, and the lightning gathered into a small ball shot towards Stahark making an endless large-scale explosion fill the room in the darkness.

How could he possibly...

Before it could finish its words, the Stahark clone accompanied by [Infinity Spirit] and the Stahark who was in the form of a monster vanished in an instant was swallowed up by the endless barrage of explosions filling the room.

Regard who was in it was also affected. His body that was injured due to the non-stop large-scale explosion, the scratches that were on his skin due to the air cut out by the [Wind Cutter], as well as the black marks from the [Flame Ball] that exploded so many times without stopping it caused his body to be affected.

Did I make it?

Restraining his body from falling to the surface, Regard who took out the [Black Sword] made it as a rebuttal so that he would not fall while looking at Stahark's condition.

It could be said that his body that had returned to its original state, the male gender, the same appearance as Regard, his vague gaze made Regard not know for what happened.

"I admit you're great, but..."

Stahark who lost his clone did not move in the slightest, instead, he remained silent as he moved one of his arms from his side forward, several tentacles that appeared from the surface piercing Regard's body, absorbing the entire mana that was flowing in Regard's body quickly, the Stahark that was originally silent at the spot disappeared, appearing right next to Regard, who had appeared right next to him, hit him with his big left hand that caused Regard's body to bounce against a pitch-black wall.

Ah. I can no longer.

Closing his eyes as his body fell with a powerful blow to the surface, Stahark's sharp look at the Regard confirmed whether it was really a genuine or fake Regard.

He had been tricked more than twice if he had won, but on the contrary, it was just a clone that was deliberately created by Regard just like his real self, Stahark did not want to be fooled a second time again so he made sure first.

"Bounce!"

With a single command given, the Stahark clone created from the [Shadow Clone] stood up from behind the black fog that wrapped around its body, stood up and walked over to the lying-down Regard, who was walking over, cloning Stahark took out five tentacles that emerged from the surface, pierced through it many times, kicked its body into the ceiling then struck it with a powerful fist of several tentacles that became one in the form of a hand, there was no sign that Regard's body was missing.

Which means that the body of Regard in front of them is both a real body, Stahark and his clone chuckle, laughing out loud at the absence of a Regard that was quickly done rather than waiting for his own death.

On the other hand in a different and distant place, Reita and the newly awakened Fuuya from his stupor looked around to ascertain where they were.

"....."

"....."

As the two of them faced each other, they were at a loss as to why they could be inside the tent, a pairing that they should have thought was impossible could happen.

Why did I even meet him? Shouldn't I have met with Regard?

Shifting his eyes away from Reita, Fuuya develops his cheeks, upset over the unwanted presence of his second rival after Sasaki, Reita.

Ugh. I guess I might have met Fuuya instead of Kak Regard.

The depressed Reita let out a long sigh, frustrated at her dislike for Fuuya who did not want to be seen for having usurped Regard in any situation.

"I have to check out."

"....."

Fuuya who was only silent while sitting with both arms in front, he looked at Reita who got up from her seat, walked out of the tent to check something, Fuuya just sharpened his gaze without a care towards her.

According to Fuuya, from his kiss now it can be said to be quite good. Starting from; the scent of the elves he knew, the atmosphere of the place, as well as the sound of water whirring that sounded in the sharp ears, a sharp sound, he could guess that he was no longer in the same place as before but a different place, a place he had once occupied before, the Elf Village that was in the basement, that's what Fuuya thinks.

But since he didn't talk about it to Reita, Fuuya intentionally letting Reita go to leave himself to check on her without needing to ask her was the thing he did on purpose.

Where are you, Regard?

Although his face looks upset over Reita's presence, his concern and concern for Regard, the man who made him realize that not all humans are evil but good, he wants to know how he is; he wants to know how he is; whether he was fine or not, Fuuya was curious over his condition.

"....."

During a walk down each tent that is on each side near the basement wall, Reita wonders how she got here, who took her, and what really happened, that's what's on his mind now.

Unlike Fuuya who knows something using her sharp smell and hearing, Reita believes that she immediately understands it very quickly so aware of her stings, which makes Reita jealous of the advantages possessed by Fuuya.

"That's it..."

Looking in a direction away from Reita's place, he saw the two girls he knew, Shilphonia and Sasaki, both looking different from their usual appearance.

Reita, knowing that Sasaki is not the real Sasaki but the Goddess of Wolf, is a natural thing to know. But for the case of Shilphonia, Reita did not know at all whether she was Shilphonia or not, Reita really did not know anything about Shilphonia all this time but only knew about Fuuya and Sasaki.

"....."

"Have you just realized, Reita?"

Stephani who saw him with a look of annoyance and hate emanated clearly through the eyes that lead to Reita made Reita think that she did not like his presence.

In contrast to Stephani who exudes an aura of dislike to Reita, Sasaki or rather the Goddess of Wolf who gives a warm smile to her who looks friendly and knows her makes Reita happy for her kindness and hospitality to people she knows.

"What are you guys doing? Do you know why we're here?"

"simple. You have been saved by the grandmother who was there."

Nonchalantly answering Reita's question, Stephani's right hand pointing towards Friya and Nek Ryadu who were chatting in the distance was clearly visible to Reita.

The Goddess of Wolf who heard Stephani's words chuckled in her mouth that was covered by her folding fan covering her mouth.

"Why can we be brought here?"

"Why are you asking us that? Wouldn't it be better to just ask the old granny?"

"....."

Hearing Stephani's annoyance, Reita, who thinks that Shilphonia hates her for something unknown, wonders about her wrongdoing.

Whether it was a mistake in the past based on him or not, Reita had absolutely no recollection of having any problems with Shilphonia.

Sasaki who heard it just held Stephani's shoulder, shaking her head as if telling her not to be rude to Reita, she said, he also advanced forward while putting his folding fan inside both of his chest behind the kimono he wore.

"I'm sorry for the rude and bad attitude from him. He neither hates nor is he upset about you ever making a mistake in the past, instead, he is a personality that does look like that."

"I understand now. That's why he looks rude to me."

"Yes, that's it."

With the irritated face Stephani showed to the two girls nearby, he snorted annoyedly by taking his eyes off them making Reita and Sasaki who saw him speechless without smiling at his attitude.

Why do you look upset, Stephani?

Isn't it obvious? They, especially the Ookami girl, seem to defend him instead of defending me, do not you also get upset over your friend who does not defend you?

Hearing Stephani's non-clad statement, Shilphonia who was inside her body chuckled, funny at her words earlier.

She did not expect that Stephani was envious of the defense made by the Goddess of Wolf who was on Sasaki's body, Shilphonia thought it was natural to be envious of the kindness and policies that Sasaki was doing now.

Apart from him, he was also envious of the closeness made between Fuuya, Reita, and Sasaki, Shilphonia can only understand this because she had experienced something similar like Stephani.

The Regard POV

Am I gone?

All around me, there were no signs of the existence of living beings that I could hear and see but only meaningless darkness that made my body float completely, I just thought that this was the end of my life.

Although my Necromancer could be said to be immortal, it was still weak against Stahark, the monster that had the advantage of sucking large quantities of mana from the victim's body, taking and robbing all the power and ability of others to use, and killing them mercilessly in a vile way, all of it done by him that makes me look like I am now.

Really sad. That's how I feel now. Despite my desire to torture him when he was gone, I ended up like this, dying in his hands without being able to scratch his body.

"Are you angry and resentful? Shouldn't you be on top now?"

Again this voice, a voice that I had heard before that suddenly disappeared, now it was heard again that filled all the darkness that there was—no, more precisely it entered through my head.

"Who are you? Why do you always show up in my head? Do you always watch me?"

There was no answer from him but just the silence I felt, laughter suddenly heard from him which made me not know if my words were funny to him or not, I was confused.

"You're really interesting huh, man. Now close your eyes!"

Close down? Wh-wh-what for?

I didn't understand her words so I was confused as to whether I should follow her or not, I doubt if I close my eyes, she would do something without my knowledge.

"Follow my words so you know who I am!"

This lady....

How could he know I doubted his words?

"I know because you and I are the same, we have a relationship that is not much different from each other."

Relationship yes.

It's really weird. But let it be, I don't really care about what kind of relationship he meant just now, I choose to follow his words.
