The Necromancers
Ch. 50.3:Reverse Attack (3)

Friya POVs

As long as we waited for things in a certain time according to the direction of Nek Ryadu, he told us to gather right in front of the deep and high water surface.

He explained to us that it is likely that our friend, Regard, will lose control of his body that will be swallowed by darkness, Nek Ryadu will act as a protector and hope to be able to revive him from the darkness.

I actually wanted to help her as well, but what she said really made me unable to deny it at all.

"Don't help me because it will make you lose the life and the life you have now!"

Those are the only words I can remember from him, I really feel that Nek Ryadu's life is as important as mine, I don't agree with his thoughts.

"Is he okay?"

"Yes, he's fine."

Allowing his gaze to Reita and Fuuya who were standing next to each other, I could only display a small smile that most likely anxiety still plastered clearly on my face.

"Don't worry, he won't be anything."

"Sasaki..."

Near me, Sasaki playing the folding fan, she covered her mouth trying to calm me down, I think so because she was a sensitive person to the surroundings.

Although he is not a real Sasaki but Ookami, I really salute his policy and hospitality towards anyone, he is truly admired by anyone who adores him in the past, that is the advantage.

"Are you right, Stephani?"

"Honestly I wanted to say something bad to you, but since Sasaki didn't let me do it, I think she was right. It's impossible for Regard to be swallowed up by the darkness, it's a nonsensical thing."

On the other hand, Shilphonia who looks worse than she knows, she looks complicated in her face which makes me think that she doesn't like any of us, I suspect he has feelings for Regard.

Nek Ryadu who knocked on his wand twice, the deep and high whirlpool before seemed to start drying out as before. In front of us replaced by asphalt that looks unused, he went down, slumped with both feet in the right momentum, paused for a moment.

"What did Old Grandma do? Does he think he's young?"

Can you stop your harsh words towards Nek Ryadu, Shilphonia? He saved you anyway, didn't he? At least I want you to show your pride in him.

I wanted to tell him that but I held him back from replacing it with a thin smile do face towards Shilphonia, he really did not pay attention to me but rather assumed I was nowhere near him.

Really deh. Why would I meet the annoying nature of Shilphonia's different personality?

It is my wish to complain about the bad attitude and words done by Shilphonia or rather Stephani, that is what Sasaki, controlled by Ookami, said, I think being able to understand him is natural.

Regardless of who has their own past, there are some of my friends who have unique personalities, especially Sasaki. He on the one hand looks friendly and kind to anyone, but on the other he looks wise and authoritative in his actions be it; thinking, walking or laughing, he really looks different from ordinary Sasaki.

Especially with her body that looks different, her body that initially does not look like a mature woman, she turns into a tall with her ideal body that may be larger than my own assets, she said, I am really envious of its advantages.

But since I didn't seem to care so much about her, I could only nod her off and throw the envy away because we were already friends, I couldn't let the envy and jealousy blind my heart and my mind.

"Friya, come!"

"Good."

I jumped from where I was, activated the [Wind Walk] that made me able to move in the air, I went down like I was going down the stairs in a kingdom, I approached him who was waiting for me.

"Please wait a minute!"

Nek Ryadu who was holding a wooden stick used for walking using both hands, he closed his eyes, muttering softly with long sentences that I had never understood before, he pointed his magic wand forward which created a hole that displayed a different place.

"Th-this..."

"Now take this and hold it!"

"Good."

Plugging the magic wand that Nek Ryadu gave me, I held it with both hands as I followed his actions in doing so earlier, I saw him enter the large hole created by him, I saw him enter the large hole created by him, regard was seen inside it that was falling endlessly in the empty, empty air.

•••••

Nek Ryadu who jumped high with his two small legs, the jump was quite high which caught the body of Regard, he cast a magic spell on his body using [Levitation], which is quite high, gard's body floated above his palm.

You've fought hard enough, son.

Knowing that there were no signs of darkness controlling his body, Nek Ryadu only gave a momentary smile to the unconscious Regard, he then takes it out that floats in the air entering the dimensional portal he created which is held back by Friya using his magic wand as well as his wooden stick.

"Let go now, Big One!"

"Good."

Following Nek Ryadu's direction, Friya releases the stick she plugs into the asphalt, creating a portal that penetrates into another dimension that looks collapsed on the building she owns to vanish, Nek Ryadu approaches Friya, hugged him for a moment while stroking behind his body.

"Good job, Big One!"

"Thank you."

Friya who was not used to getting compliments, her gaze was diverted in another direction.

Stephani who ignores Friya's usual attitude, Reita who smiles at the******** Irresistible Friya, Fuuya who only grieves resentment at Friya's praised attitude, is, as well as Sasaki who chuckled softly behind her open fan, all the elves were also delighted to learn that Nek Ryadu and Friya, the two elf leaders were able to do their best to bring Regard back.

Although in the hearts of the elves there was doubt about the Necromancer class that the young man Nek Ryadu had brought, they remain convinced that the man is not a man who is able to be carried away by the darkness but a strong man who is tough in dealing with any problems.

"""""Regard!"""""

The five girls who were in their respective places started to approach Nek Ryadu who was putting a Regard on the asphalt surface.

Regard who was still unconscious made the five of them look sad for what happened to him. Those who feel guilty, regretting his actions to leave Regard there alone, including Stephani and Sasaki, the two girls who were still able to stand with him before actually left him who made Regard look like he is now.

"Don't worry, he's fine! He's just exhausted."

With the light steps he made, Nek Ryadu who walked past them made the five of them turn their heads towards Nek Ryadu who passed by them, they looked at each other, they looked at each other, smile with relief when you know that the condition of Regard is fine.

Oh gosh. You're really popular with girls, son. Even an elf like the Great is very worried and worried about you.

Looking for a moment at Regard who was still closing his eyes, Nek Ryadu only gave a small smile to him who was amazed at his efforts and determination that exceeded the darkness itself.

Yet it was actually Regard who had almost lost control of his body and mind by the emotions of darkness, Kuma who grants her powers and abilities makes her able to be herself is completely unknown to Nek Ryadu about the unexpected guest's presence but Nek Ryadu considers it an effort that Regard the virtue he has done so far.

•••••

Did I defeat Stahark?

Yeah, you did it.

Is he really gone now?

Sure do. He is without your blessing.

Why did your voice appear in my head?

Unostentatious. You and I, we've been connected to each other from today onwards.

Connected?

As I recall, I never did anything but just received the strength and ability from Shigase Kuma, the long white-haired demon girl, he offered to cooperate with me in order to remove Stahark from this world.

What do you want from me? Shouldn't our partnership be over?

After? No kidding! I haven't decided at all about our cooperation ending today.

Oh gosh. Why do I have to deal with something I don't know or know?

Moreover, he is a Demon King that is in the Dark Castle in the present, I believe he is a direct descendant of the Demon King who once trained me in learning the Necromancer's powers and abilities that I have.

Thanks to you, I was free from his threat. Not only has he perished, it has made it easier for me to destroy whoever my enemy is, I will eliminate humanity from now on. Thanks though.

Obliterating?

I've guessed that the reason he did this to me wasn't because of his sincerity in helping me, but there was another purpose behind it all.

His goal is revealed now, his desired goal is to destroy mankind, I will not allow it to happen a second time just like the one displayed by Shigase Kuma in the basement earlier, he said, the City of Fiasfa.

A good determination. I like that.

Huh uh? What's that good? I just don't want anyone to experience the same things I had as a kid. Despair, voidness, hatred, resentment, wrath, those were the emotions that were harbored within myself when I knew that I had lost everything when Stahark and the villagers were gone, including where I lived.

Next time we meet, you and I will both be enemies. Do you understand?

Yes's enemy.

Whether or not I was truly able to defeat him of the same level as me or not, I thought that fighting him was the only option in order to save the world from destruction.

That's my purpose in facing it.

That's a good answer. I like the determination you have.

Suddenly the voice vanished from my head, the entire darkness that made my body float in the air was endless, a glimmer of light appeared that slowly began to illuminate the entire area around me.

"It's..."

A forest that I know, a forest that was once part of my daily life at work, a forest that was in the village of Fiasfa, the thick fog that surrounded the forest was clearly visible, likewise with the weather that is still visible in the morning, there is no sign of the existence of enemies such as demons or monsters in it.

Am I gone?

Based on my memories, after defeating Stahark, my body had already reached a limit that made it difficult for me to move, I collapsed after eliminating it so I was sure that the other realms I saw now were the end of my journey.

"We meet again, son!"

This sound...

I miss this voice.  The voice that has accompanied me from the time I was a baby to the body of being a little boy, this voice has always taken care of, revived, comforted, and accompanied me when I was in need of his attention.

"During the day, son!"

"Mothers... Dad..."

For a few years I had not met them, I immediately approached my parents in this world, hugged them tightly, they returned my embrace.

"You've grown up, huh, Regard."

"That's right. You look different from us, son."

That's not true. I'm your son so maybe I'm exactly like you.

"No, you are not like us unless you have your own appearance."

Appearance of myself?

I don't understand what Mom and Dad are saying, maybe they think I'm their foster kid who was found suddenly like the little prankster I see on television a lot of times, I think that's my assumption on their words.

"Listen to me, son, you have become an adult today and beyond. You who are able to settle on the same path, the path of goodness, do not waver or worry at all for the effort you have done so far."

Mothers....

I wanted to cry in front of her, I held her back.

Whether it would be like what if I cried in front of them, they would assume I was just like me in the past, I held back that cry the next day when I was alone, I prefer to smile happily in front of them.

"Honestly, I'm amazed at you, son. You turned into a brave, caring, responsible man of what you had, I love that."

Fathering....

Although my father had a hard personality, liked to shout loudly, firmly, and discipline in everything that concerned his work, he was truly the kind father I had in this new world.

"Come, Son!"

"Yes." Yeah."

After I finished the hug, they allowed me to hug them once more.

To be honest, I don't want to let this moment pass, as much as possible I want to be with them forever if necessary. Otherwise, I will remember this unexpected encounter in my mind for all eternity.
