The Necromancers
Ch. 16.5:Reita's First Mission
At night, a group of adventurers consisting of four groups began to investigate a place not far from the village, Resihei City.
"Everything, stay calm and don't panic!"
"You're all safe with us."
"Don't worry, we'll take you to Resihei City."
Each of the adventurers who woke up the residents, asked to calm down and not panic or argue so that they could get out of the village smoothly without any obstacles.
They follow the words of adventurers. Silent and calm, they walked according to the direction given by the adventurers so they did not worry and worry about their condition later.
"It's terrible!"
"What's up, Regard?"
"They don't look like a herd but rather a horde of monsters will lead to the village."
"Are they dangerous monsters?"
"No. Judging from the number of about a hundred.no, five hundred monsters consisting of Trolls, Witches, Undead, and Golems."
"Isn't that dangerous?"
Gazing at Shilphonia, Regard did not know if this was an easy situation to get through or not.
As long as he did not want to look flashy, as much as possible he continued to live out his days as a novice adventurer. No matter what happens to people, Regard will insist on staying on his own path.
"Don't worry, I feel that the group of Colorful Adventure is able to defeat their numbers."
"I hope so."
Along the way, the rear-row Regard, Shilphonia is a little far from the Regard, Friya place, which is far from Shilphonia, and Reita who was at the very front led the residents who went with their families and relatives not to be misguided for their safety.
Although Regard looked calm, his mind still felt uneasy over the many swarms of monsters that would invade Juria Village, the same small village as Elforia Village.
It should have been only a few monsters, but this was precisely the opposite, many and quite powerful if faced by Black Adventure.
Could there be a Stahark behind it all?
It was as if he could sense an unexpected presence through the [Shadow Clone] that had been in [Transparency] before, he did not find himself anywhere but there were only five figures covered by black robes and hoods on their heads making Regard unable to approach them to see his face.

The Regard POV
Based on what I felt, they were no ordinary monsters.
Jumping from one tree branch to another, I watched it closely. Although I managed to use the [Shadow Clone] and [Transparency], I don't know if my real self can lead them to the city safely.
Besides of...
Adventurers who participate in the mission are Colorful Adventure so my hope is that they can overcome the chaos carried out by this horde of monsters without anyone dying or injured.
Well, even if they can't handle everything, sooner or later I have to step in.
Yet..
The moon is more beautiful than ever.
"....."
The four figures I observed hooded and cloaked were in the middle of them.
I wonder who they are. Whether they were enemies or friends, I was sure to think of them as friends was a stupid thing. Especially if they act to save them, I don't know how much of a percentage of their safety can be guaranteed right now.
The only thing I want is for them to find a solution.
"I'm counting on you, Adventurers."
Closing my eyes, I sat leaning against a tree while waiting for news from the other me.
•••••
In another place not far from the evacuation of the residents, the five clones of the Regard watched the area around so that nothing happened to the novice adventurers and villagers.
As long as he observed the situation, he found no signs of someone coming which meant that everything went smoothly without any obstacles.
Although a sense of relief had enveloped his heart, Regard as much as possible be careful that he was not careless by assuming everything was fine as he expected.
"....."
At a considerable distance, the blaze can be seen at the height of the tree.
According to Regard, the blaze was located in Juria Village, a village where previously the now-empty residents left adventurers of the Colorful Adventure level who were most likely facing hordes of monsters.
"....."
One of the Regard who was at the height of the tree, nodded to the clone of the other. The other clones understood the intent of his actions and sent a message through [Mind Reading] to the original Regard.
It's grim!
What was?
They had arrived at Juria Village.
Is it okay there?
Yes, they can handle it without the slightest difficulty.
While guiding the remains of the villagers, Regard was relieved to hear that they could cope without anyone being hurt or not.
Keep up the surveillance!
Good.
After saying that, Regard who was staring at Shilphonia nodded. Shilphonia who understands the nod then directs it to Friya, then Friya directs it to Reita.
The three girls nearby understood the intent of his movements earlier.
After a long time they led the villagers, they finally breathed a sigh of relief because no enemy approached or disrupted the orderly order of the villagers.
"Where are you going?"
"We'll check the surroundings. You go first to secure the villagers."
"Good."
"We're counting on you."
"Yes." Yeah."
The Regard Group and the Yuta Group parted ways with different goals.
The Regard group went into the depths of the forest to check the surrounding conditions, something like that was a mere reason to convince the group near them, the Yuta Group, while the Yuta Group, was, they went following the path leading to Resihei City.
"Shilph, Friya, Reita, I want you to check into different areas!"
"What about you yourself, Regard?"
"Are you going straight to the enemy?"
"No, I'm gonna use the pawns I have to figure out how far back they're going."
The three people who were near Regard disappeared without a trace. Running as fast as possible, Regard stopped him and fell silent.
The current time is the perfect time to test his other new abilities and powers.
Just in case, Regard sent [Mind Reading] to the other clones to start acting immediately before the cloaked figure could utilize them.
Smiling little, Regard felt that tonight would be filled with battles in two different places.
In Juria Village, a group of ten adventurers were facing a large number of Trolls. Not only the Trolls, the Witch in the rear row strengthened the Undead with their magic, protecting and strengthening the attacks, as well as speeding up their footsteps even though they were all in vain.
Undead is on the front lines. Those with the remnants of life that had been wiped out, dry skin, white-colored empty eyes advanced boldly towards the enemy to distract the adventurers from the Trolls.
Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain.
None of them were lured to their attention, instead, they quickly finished off the Trolls and Undead in an instant.
Unlike the two monsters that were able to be overcome, Golems in large numbers threw stones and hit the ground into mounds of land that led to them.
Those who dodged his attacks, were equipped by the Cleric's [Heaven Protection] which was able to make them immune from the Troll attacks that caught them off guard earlier.
Heaven Protection, a protective magic blessed by the grace of the Gods and Goddesses in this world, this magic is able to ward off various physical attacks that exist as well as magic attacks, both were held for 1 minute.
"You guys, help us!"
"Good."
In the back row, the Magic Casters began to perform magic spells to create protectors and reinforcement against the barrier that would protect them.
[Divine Area], [Ultimate Barrier], [Perfection Defense], and the last one was [Reflection] deployed by them to the adventurers who were in the front row.
[Divine Area] that is able to make the area around each group that is there turn into a light green light. The effect is that the area is able to strengthen statistics and where they are in certain conditions as much as twice as usual.
[Ultimate Barrier] that gave rise to layers of magic derivative [Magic Barrier] made them lunged directly at the enemy without worrying about the defense because they had been protected by [Magic Barrier] in large numbers that were layeredply around them.
[Perfection Defense] which is able to strengthen the defense of each group in the front row while strengthening [Magic Barrier] makes them impenetrable.
And the last one was that [Reflection] was useful for reversing the physical attacks of both the Trolls and the Undead towards them originally without causing any effect making them sure no one could defeat them.
"Should we help him?"
"No, we'll watch him first."
"That's right. I'm sure Regard must be doing something right now."
In a different place near Juria Village, Shilphonia, Friya, and Reita are watching the situation to estimate the help they will do.
Before they helped her, Reita was sure that Regard was currently doing something in the distance that the three of them were unaware of.
I hope you're okay, Regard.
•••••
The Regard POV
Apparently so.
It turned out that they were hiding behind a tree to wait for the final fight so that they could destroy the spirit possessed by the adventurers.
Really interesting.
Changing my appearance, I disguised myself as a long black-haired, white-skinned woman.
Alright. Time to party.
Turning the clothes worn into black robes just like them, I covered up the appearance using the horned iron mask commonly used during nighttime activities in Farihiora City.
[Burst Trap]
Directing the gaze to several places, the explosion and ground tremors shook strongly more than before.
I'm sure they must have realized something was wrong here so I'll shorten the time to complete this mission easily and carefully.
Behind the scattered cluster of dust, I saw the four figures that were the same as the ones I had encountered before in the Milant Forest. Muscled and gallant men, long red-haired women with pointed and sharp ears, thin men with spooky and scary faces, and women with pink hair accompanied by canine teeth, and pale skin can be clearly seen by me.
Unlike the four figures earlier, the other one I never knew about so this was the first time I saw them recruit new members.
What a strange destiny.
Reuniting with them, I'm sure it's not a coincidence.
If this is destined to fight, I'm ready to do it. But I'm not sure of one thing: whether they can overcome the madness and wrath that I'm going to expose for their previous actions to me or not, I'm sure they can't.
Before being able to move, the muscular and gallant man ran crashing towards me.
I as much as possible avoided every blow that was deployed. The punch looked quite strong so I avoided it as much as possible.
Yet...
Suddenly, a swarm of bats swarmed over me making the range of view disturbed.
Lothawat!
Jumping and using [Air Step] and [Wind Walk], I quickly took out a black ball in both of my hands to bring out the [Black Sword].
It will be an interesting battle.
Crossing the two swords in front, I raised them to the ceiling. At the tip of the sword was a white light that shone brightly like a spotlight in the pitch-black night.
Slowly the light of the floodlight grew and dazzled.
Before it finally grew bigger, I pointed the sword at them, a group of people covered in black robes.
"Feel this!"
Using the large-scale [White Aura] towards them, the explosion had happened so big.
The effect is so powerful that I had no idea that [White Aura] besides being able to strengthen the body by increasing the various stats available, he is also capable of being used as a deadly weapon.
It's working?
Using the [Dark Eye], I found no signs that they had fallen, instead, there was a multi-layered mound of earth inside which four people were sheltering from the attack.
Only four people, the other did nothing but fell silent in a distant place.
They are really good at defense.
Yet...
Removing the ice crystals in my palm, I aimed the slowly enlarged crystals at the ceiling.
The area around began to change from ordinary weather to snowy weather, ice gusts that were able to freeze trees and land surfaces, he said, as well as the relentless blizzard that hit made me think this would be the end for them.
Activating [Acceleration], I set foot on the transparent footing that had been activated before, [Air Step] and noticed them.
Now what am I supposed to do?
Waiting and letting them come here, I doubt they will survive unharmed from the four strong and powerful people who are my opponents.
There's no other choice.
