The Necromancers
Ch. 13:Readiness of Reita Hiena

"My name is Reita Hiena. You can call me Reita."

"I am Shilphonia Autheurus. You can call me Shilph."

"My name is Friya Furuhiora, you can call me by the name of Friya."

"Eh?"

"You're the same, Shilph. You no longer need to call me by the name of Furuhiora but Friya."

"All right."

Inside Shilphonia's room, the long blue-haired woman, Reita smiled seeing the two girls in front of her acting ordinary without anything different from their treatment towards her.

Although Reita is initially surprised by the presence of two different girls she can sense, she can only assume that she is being kidnapped.

However, his guess is dashed when they introduce the name and attitude they show makes Reita think that they are good people who come from the Elf and Human races.

"Hey Reita, are you okay?"

"Is your body sick?"

"No, I'm fine."

Shilphonia and Friya who were feeling sympathy for her newly conscious condition from her long sleep asked Reita's condition, however, Reita says she is doing well which leaves her confused and astonished at their question.

"May I ask you something?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Did something happen to me?"

"Eh?"

"That's...."

Unable to answer his question, Shilphonia and Friya turned their eyes away from Reita.

According to them, telling her what happened to Reita would only make her experience severe trauma for her unconsciousness in destroying anything in the depths of the cave, including Shilphonia.

For Shilphonia, Reita and Regard are very similar to each other.

As Regard had told him first, he had lost control of his body and mind which caused his consciousness to be swallowed by the darkness making him go berserk and finish off anyone nearby.

Fortunately the people who were nearby only had Veru and the Demon King so Veru's condition was safe because it could not be killed by him.

"Listen to this carefully, Reita, you've been passed out for a while now."

"That's right. The cause of your fainting is that you lost control of your own body."

"Lost control?"

"Yes, you are rampaging in the depths of the mine cave because of something we do not know the reason you are rampaging in it."

"....."

"Don't worry, Reita, we'll be with you if you need us."

"....."

Unable to withstand the shock of what happened to her, Reita remembers losing consciousness after drinking the bottle near her feet.

Just when her brother Daffa was killed in front of her, Reita lunged directly at her brother and a group of Goblins around her intended to attack him but failed. Only there can Reita remember it while the rest of him does not remember anything at all.

Tears began to wash his cheeks. The loud crying sound in the room made the two of them hug and calm Reita to let out all her emotions and feelings in the cry.

Outside the room, Regard who was about to knock on the door did not do so because the sobs that sounded so loud that he exited the room made him smile, and walked out of the inn rather than eavesdropping on their conversation.

The Regard POV

Ah... What should I do now?

Shilph and Furuhiora were with Reita so it wouldn't be polite if I suddenly walked into their room and talked about Reita's condition.

Should I visit Maid Cafe again to meet him?

No, I don't think he's gonna be in the same place again for the second time. I'm sure he'll go somewhere else to hunt women.

Yes, I can confirm that he did it for his own pleasure.

Huhhhhh...

I wish there was something I could do right now.

If it's not wrong, I've managed to try something before. What I tried was that I used dark magic to attack the enemy. The resulting attack was not too big in physical injuries but had a great impact after the slash was completed.

Not only was the slash from the [Dance of Shadow], the other magic used by me was [Transparency] making it easy for me to eliminate the presence without being noticed by my enemies.

[Transparency] is the strongest magic I can use from the magic I managed to obtain through the blood of the monsters that were in the Sylvia Ruins. I was also able to find out magic information through the monster's blood which made it easier for me to be able to use it.

Well, this is just like the case of me who was able to use the [Golden Chain] earlier to bind Furuhiora's [Meteorite].

"I'm starting to understand now."

Every time I suck someone's blood, both the ability and the strength gained from them are the result of the strange ability I have that [Copied Skill], he said, which makes it easier for me to copy the opponent's ability to be used by me.

Simple but deadly, but I love it.

The only thing that is shown right now is to explore every ability that I managed to get before so that I get used to using it.

Yeah, I think it's the right way to entertain yourself out there.

Smiling at the sight out of town, I was sure there was the right method without making me look flashy in front of the public so I would be safe doing it later.

Alright. About what I can do and use later.

I can't wait for what I can use and do later. Whether it was great and powerful like I did before or vice versa, as much as possible I held back some of my strength so as not to make a huge explosion that caused the Adventurers and Royal Knights to go to my location which would interfere with the training time.

•••••

In the depths of the forest outside Farihiora City, slash after slash was carried out by the Regard on some of the trees present.

"[Wind Cutter]"

Wind Cutter, a magic with wind elements that form a medium-sized ball spinning with a strong gust of wind, on both sides of which there are four propellers can cut anything that will hit it.

In both of his raised hands, a medium-sized ball spun with a strong gust of wind. On the side of the ball are four sharp propellers that can break and cut anything that hits it.

"Now!"

Throwing one of the [Wind Cutter] onto the tree in front, several trees fell down in an instant. Doing it again in a different area, another tree nearby fell down in an instant after being hit by his attack.

"It's great."

"alright. Let's try something else."

"[Magma Ball]."

Magma Ball, magic that is able to form fireballs, Fire Ball that changes shape into magma, his attacks are able to burn and burn anything that is hit by an attack from the Magma Ball.

Several barrage of balls made of fire then turned into magma were seen floating in the air and hit the trees that Regard had directed earlier.

Some of the affected trees suffered large holes from the [Magma Ball] and were burnt and charred in the blink of an eye.

How horrifying.

Deciding not to use it again, Regard replaced it with another element.

According to Regard, he would risk his life if he played with fire or magma that caused the surrounding forest area to burn. Not only himself, people will also lose their lives because of it which can make him regret when it happens.

"[Water Blade]"

Water Blade, a magic capable of creating the water element in the object it held formed a sword, it looked like a magic sword with a light blue color that surged quietly like a river flowing quietly.

Water Blade has lightness and easy to move in battle making it easy for the user to move freely as he wishes without worrying about heavy futile movements due to the magic he creates against the object.

"[Tsunami Slash]"

Tsunami Slash, a high and powerful water pressure slash capable of knocking down, destroying or slashing whatever the user wants, this ability is strong enough to be used in hunting but deadly to kill humans.

Some of the trees that were hit by the slash from the [Tsunami Slash] split and fell down instantly. That's because the strong water pressure launched by the attack carried out by Regard makes even thick wooden stems can be split and toppled instantly because of it.

It's really great.

Again, Regard was amazed at his own strength.

He did not expect that this was truly great beyond his estimation, especially when he used the [Water Blade] that felt light and easy to use made him able to move freely without any heavy loads resulting from his own movements.

"I think it's better if I keep the strong when the situation is desperate later."

Turning his sword into a magic wand, Regard used a [Change Weapon] that could change his weapon easily without needing to wait for a long time.

At the moment, Regard thinks that he can be two different roles in front of the public, Swordman and Wizard, both of them were beginner level adventurers who were still far from proficient so he could camouflage as long as he was in front of the public.

If he is not in front of the public, he will use all his abilities and powers to protect himself and those around him.

Despite having to sacrifice his own life, Regard was prepared for the consequences.

"[Crystal Shoot]."

Crystal Shoot, a number of bright blue crystals that can be fired at one or more targets, there is no limit in using it or aiming at the target, all depending on the needs of the user.

Taking out a number of bright blue-colored crystals, Regard pointed his magic wand towards the tree.

The tree that was hit by the barrage of shots from the [Crystal Shoot] that caused the hollow tree trunk and the crystal that hit the tree was firmly planted inside.

"What if I use this?"

In the open palm of Regard's hand, ice crystals were visible in small size. Before long the ice crystals gave off light, the snowflakes coming out from within the crystal spread out which caused the area around to be covered by large amounts of snowflakes that contained ice fog.

"[Ice Wave] is really great yet..."

Ice Wave, magic formed from ice elements that are able to create ice fog to obscure the view of anyone who is in the fog of the Ice Wave, as well as providing a Freeze effect on those in the ice fog that is not too pronounced but can slowly be felt after them, the target of the user is about a few minutes in the fog.

Clenching his hands, the [Ice Wave] that had previously spread to a large area slowly dissipated. Likewise with the crystal in the hands of the previous Regard, which had now been broken and shattered into pieces.

"There are still some improvements to be made."

Although he was already satisfied with the results of his trial, Regard was still hesitant to use [Ice Wave] in the later fight as a Wizard.

What confuses him is not his own ability but the ability that will be possessed by his enemies who can see in certain respects using their abilities in order to know where he is and the abilities of his enemies will be launched against him.

That's why Regard still had to fix for [Ice Wave] to become an ice fog that no one could see, even though they used their special ability in seeing certain things.

"It's a shame."

Sitting down and laying down his body on the ground with green grass, his gaze turned to the ceiling where he saw leaves, tree branches, and a view of the ceiling, as well as bright clouds that can be seen through between tree branches and leaves on the tree.

I wish I could change and refine some magic to be used later.

Strengthening his resolve, he got up from the slump on the ground with green grass and rushed off to check on the conditions of his three friends in Shilphonia's room.

The Regard POV

"Shilph, Furuhiora, can I go inside?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Please come in if you want!"

Opening the door and entering the room, I saw that the expression Reita had improved from before so I was relieved when I knew it had improved.

"Are you better?"

"Yes, I'm okay. Thanks for the help."

Waking up from sitting on the side of the bed, Reita lowered her body for the help I had done to her.

Well, honestly I helped her because I was required to help her in such a dangerous situation as I had in the past so she shouldn't thank me.

"I also apologize for what I've done to you before."

He lowered his body again, apologizing.

I don't know what to react to him but I can only smile when he knows and realizes that his mistakes in the past have been his responsibility to carry and hold in the present until the present impending.

"Thank God you're okay."

"Yes. It's all thanks to your help, Regard."

It seemed like he already understood and understood the story that Shilph explained to him huh.

Good job, Shilph.

This way I don't need to explain anything so my task feels light now.

"Oh yeah, Regard, about Reita, she wants to come with you around. Do you not mind?"

"Yes. He also told us that he was curious about the activities you do every day."

Whether I should be grateful or not, I felt that he was curious about what I was doing because he might think I was his life-saver.

Well, I can't avoid it if I've saved and awakened him. But, I don't want him to change himself like me which scares me that someday, he will change exactly like me.

I want to avoid it as much as possible.
