The Necromancers
Ch. 20:The Greatest Magic

In his relentless pursuit, Regard immediately activated [Death Trap] to the surface of the ground they were about to incandescent.

When they stepped on it, the [Death Trap] was active which caused the large-scale explosions around the forest to disintegrate, as well as the ground surface that turned into craters.

Death Trap, a trap capable of killing anyone who set foot on the surface that had embedded a pitch-black disc capable of forcibly extracting souls from their bodies, they'll be gone in 5 seconds.

Death Trap also often serves as a large-scale explosion that is able to destroy the surrounding area without the need to forcefully remove the soul, it depends on the desire of the user in using it.

Sip.

Going down directly into the middle of the crater he made, Regard as much as possible used [Shadow Clone] and [Transparency] to keep his enemies unknown.

Just in case, Regard also prepared some other needs that can be used when the needs arrive.

"Who is that? Come outside!"

"Yo, we'll see you again, Fuzikumibaru."

Behind the blowing dust, the figure of Regard can be seen by Fuzikumibaru.

Fuzikumibaru was shocked at his unexpected arrival.

Not only his arrival, Fuzikumibaru was convinced that he had previously managed to make it go away in an instant without the need to intervene from himself in the fight.

"What's wrong? Are you upset to see that I'm still alive? Don't worry, I won't die that easily."

Sharpening his gaze, Regard quickly activated [Acceleration] which made him disappear in an instant.

Just when Fuzikumibaru was off guard, a sword was ready to execute him.

Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain.

"....."

What was holding him back was not Fuzikumibaru but his pawn: a muscular and gallant man who repelled him using [Iron Body] without being injured in the slightest.

"I'm not letting you do anything!"

Flicking her fingers, a demonic woman unleashed a large amount of magic barrage, [Fire Ball], [Lightning Lance], [Water Ball], and [Wind Cutter] towards Regard.

Before being able to hit his body, Regard quickly used the [Magic Wall] that made the surface of the ground far in front of him stand firm like a thick wall that protected him from the magic barrage earlier.

Magic Wall, magic that is able to change the surface of the ground into a wall that matches the size desired by the user. The wall is able to withstand a wide variety of attacks from physical attacks to magic, both of which can be overcome.

Although it was quite powerful in counteracting various attacks, Magic Wall only focused on one area to protect. If the area is successfully deceived then the user will experience danger.

Fuzikumibaru who knows it moves his fingers.

The vampire woman who quickly disappeared from her place into a herd of bats, reappeared behind Regard.

"Tsk..."

The huge scythe slash could be fended off by him.

Not to miss the opportunity, Fuzikumibaru also used the fifth pawn that had just been obtained before.

The pawn moved quickly by leaping high towards him, banging an electric hammer to the ground surface which caused the high-voltage power flow to spread from one direction to all directions.

"....."

Smiling at what he felt was slow, Regard used the [Dimension Portal] that made him able to move.

After successfully doing so, he activated the [Summon Beast] on the ground surface earlier which unleashed a Hellhound in the depths of the forest.

Auman Hellhound could be heard which caused the wind to blow even louder than usual.

Not wasting a chance, Regard also gave [White Aura] throughout the Hellhound's body which was enveloped by a silvery-white color that shone brightly.

"How could he possibly do that?"

Avoiding the Hellhound's footing, Fuzikumibaru moved his fingers and arms.

A pair of long red-haired women and vampire women started lunging towards the Hellhound.

The vampire woman who used [Illusion] made her able to move freely in the air with the herd of bats swarming the Hellhound, while the demonic woman who used [Meteorit], was able to move freely in the air along with the herd of bats swarming the Hellhound, while the demonic woman who used [Meteorit], she said, accompanied by the [Thunder Trap] made the Hellhound's body fully locked in its movements.

"He's really great."

Disappeared in his place of flight and away, as much as possible Regard observed the situation first.

Thinking that he was going to act straight away, he chose to know the extent to which his Hellhound was able to go against the pawn that Fuzikumibaru possessed.

The Hellhound that activated the surrounding [Trinity Ball] was successfully thrown towards the two of them.

Trinity Ball, a deadly ball of dark black and purple which when exposed to attacks on humans then they will dry up and then nothing, as well as nature. When trees, shrubs, other plants are affected it will turn to wither, dry up and then die.

[Trinity Ball] that hits the ground surface is able to make the area around it turn dark. Not only is it dark, [Trinity Ball] also makes the entire forest, ground level, and leaves wither and dry in an instant.

If the effect was on humans as well as other living things, Regard would have been sure [Trinity Ball] easily made them dry up and disappear instantly without any resistance.

Unfortunately that did not happen to his opponent now.

Knowing that the [Trinity Ball] magic could not hit their bodies, Shilphonia who was near Fuzikumibaru launched a barrage of arrows into the ceiling.

[Lightning Arrow] and [Rain Arrow] could easily turn the surroundings dark and rainy.

Regard who realized it, activated [Absolute Defense] which caused him to be able to withstand the attacks from the barrage of lightning arrows, along with the barrage of water arrows that rained down on him along with the Hellhound.

The Hellhound that had previously been hit by the range from the lightning strike, followed by the water arrows in large numbers roared in pain.

Fuzikumibaru who was watching him, smiled. At first he thought that the attack from Shilphonia was effective enough to cripple him but he had misjudged it.

"....."

Around the Hellhound's body, a pair of armor was able to protect it from the Shilphonia arrow attack.

The armour itself was composed of bones that formed a armor coated by [Dark Aura] that could maintain its body under any conditions.

How could he possibly hold it?

"....."

Feeling useless against the Hellhound, Fuzikumibaru directed his pawns like Reita towards Regard.

Regard who was aware of the barrage of stones and crystals directed at him was able to ignore him because he had used [Absolute Defense] on his body making him immune to any attacks.

"....."

Although Reita's pressure and drive were strong enough, Regard still felt nothing about the pain. Instead, he felt happy and proud that the effect worked on them, their fake selves who managed to trick Fuzikumibaru.

Reita, are you listening to me?

Yeah, I heard it.

Quickly eliminate your presence in the distance!

Good.

Through [Mind Reading], Reita who changed her clothes flicked her finger making her fake self vanish from where she was.

What the hell is going on?

Disappeared in place, Regard quickly used the [Unlimited Slash] towards Fuzikumibaru. Dodging several slashes in large numbers, Fuzikumibaru deployed another pawn to protect him.

Unfortunately, not everything happened.

Why don't they listen to me?

Feeling something strange, Regard approached him with a smile and chuckle.

Of course the reason why he chuckled was that Fuzikumibaru did not realize that the [Unlimited Slash] he had used earlier did not lead directly to him but to the people around him.

Not only that, the multiple slashes that hit the body and the armor they made made it easier for the Regard to move quickly to slash the [Special Rope] connected to their respective bodies.

Impossible. How could he possibly do that?

Dropping his knee, the helpless Fuzikumibaru that his pawn had been destroyed by Regard considers that it was an impossible action to take.

In fact, he who previously managed to win did not realize that the Regard he killed was his [Shadow Clone] which became a collision to fight him.

"really. I still have a few more pawns."

Rushing up and moving her fingers and hands, the two girls lunged towards Regard.

Shilphonia who used [Golden Sword] and Friya who used [Magic Sword], both prepared to slash at him mercilessly.

Avoiding his attacks, Regard smiled.

Unwittingly by Fuzikumibaru, a number of dark red mana like blood was shot from the Hellhound's mouth. Not only one head, the other two heads shot lasers at the two of them making the two girls who had previously existed disappear.

Damnit. He really calculated everything.

Retreating away from the Regard's place, Fuzikumibaru was sure that if he fought him without any pawns nearby, he would lose and die.

"It's a shame that it's over."

Right behind him, the Regard with a killing intent emitted prepared to slash at him using his [Black Sword].

Fuzikumibaru who saw him helplessly could only give up, but when swung his sword from above he smiled.

"....."

The light of the magic circle began to illuminate the footing that Regard had stepped on.

Before he could move away and disappear, Fuzikumibaru activated the [Magic Trap] inside the magic circle causing Regard to be unable to break out from within the magic circle.

Magic Trap, a magic capable of creating traps that look like a magic wall surrounding the target hit by the trap on the footing, the target would not be able to come out in any way but could only be silent and resigned to the magic wall surrounding it.

Damnit. I've been hit by his trap.

His body that was slowly in pain turned into a puppet skeleton.

Regard knew that this trap was a trap that Fuzikumibaru had prepared for him, but he did not expect that he would be the puppet for him.

"The game is over. Your life will be mine now."

When the [Special Rope] was placed on Regard's limb, it slowly moved its body following Fuzikumibaru's fingers.

Regard's vague gaze, the feeling suffused with hatred, as well as deep despair, were all directed directly at Fuzikumibaru who was chuckling and laughing triumphantly.

"It's over, man. You can rest now."

Following his orders, Regard was unconscious.

•••••

The Regard POV

Well, I expected that this would happen if it attacked directly at him.

Looking closely, I'm sure he must have thought that he won for the second time.

Don't expect too much. Sooner or later, I will show you the power I managed to get from the undead remains that I had sucked their blood from before.

Move places, as much as I can keep seeing them.

I wonder what magic he has.

If I manage to gain his abilities as Fuzikumibaru, I am able to use the pawns of the undead to serve me.

Although I can use the [Corpse Army] to double the undead in numbers, it still doesn't look favorable to me.

Not only the [Corpse Army], the [Corpse Burst] that I think is quite great with its explosive power is still not able to satisfy my heart in using it.

The undead is still the undead, that's what I believe.

"Truly troublesome huh."

Pouring a large amount of mana, I started rushing to finish it quickly without needing to take a long time.

The thing I want to try is the element in every magic.

If living things had mana and magic capacity of various types, would there be a reaction that could be triggered by combining every magic element that existed to be used as power.

For example like fire, water, wind, earth, air, and lightning, I was curious so I would use them all.

"[Element Burst]."

Activating the few shards of water crystal that floated behind, the balls floating in the air on both sides were coated by the fire element, some sword blades made from the sharp strong gusts of wind, the, the lightning bolts lining both arms, as well as in the legs were snake-shaped shoes that came from the ground element had been worn by me.

Alright. Time to end it.
