The Necromancers
Ch. 3:Fallen Angel Stephani

Inside the pitch-black room, Regard used his Dark Eye to pay attention around.

There was no sign of this room as a place where someone was locked up, on the contrary, this room felt quiet and silent which made Regard wary of the possibility that happened to him later.

"....."

Just as his steps were progressing forward, the entire room suddenly lit up by itself.

The torch on the side of the room started to light up and reveal all the contents in the room, making Regard disable Dark Eye to see it using his usual eyes.

"That's..."

At the end of the room, there was a beautiful girl who had long black hair, the black dress she was wearing was quite beautiful to look at, as well as white skin and a pair of exposed chests make anyone fall in love at first sight when looking at her appearance.

However, Regard did not experience it at all.

Instead of her being shocked over someone being locked up in the room, she was instead cautious over the possibility that it would attack her if she was off guard.

"Man yes."

"Yes." Yeah."

Opening his eyes from his long slumber, a blank look and darkness were directed at Regard. Regard returned the gaze with a serious expression so he had no problem over his gaze being deliberately directed at her.

"Why should a human like you appear in this place?"

"Why did you say? How are you yourself? Why are you in this room?"

"....."

The look of voidness and darkness directed at Regard grew even sharper as if he hated his question behind the question by others towards him.

"Are you a human or a monster?"

"Human? A monster? No kidding! I'm not in either category at the moment. Instead, I was in the highest category surpassing the two of them."

"What do you mean?"

Squinting his eyes, Regard felt that there was something strange about the girl in front of him whose arms and legs were tied by chains on the wall.

The girl did not answer Regard's question, instead, she just laughed. His frightened laughter made Regard even more wary of what he was about to do.

"You're gonna know who I'm gonna be, aren't you, man?"

Throughout his body, the black-colored light was clearly visible to Regard. Slowly the light grew bigger, creating a lot of lightning.

The chain that bound the girl's legs and hands slowly cracked, shattered in an instant, her entire body had been freed from the chain that made her move quickly from where she was to the side of Regard.

Impossible. Since when did he move?

Feeling an oddity, Regard was unable to move quickly near the long black haired girl.

The girl smiled at him then brought her face closer to Regard's ears, whispering something to him.

"I'm Fallen Angel Stephani. Please fight it, man."

Finished saying that, Regard moved using Acceleration to switch places.

Stephani, who noticed her movements differently than normal humans, smiled and laughed at what she saw.

"intriguing. I think I'm getting interested in you right now, man."

"It's a pity that I'm just a human being so you don't have to be interested in me."

"really? I don't think you're an ordinary man."

"No, I'm just an ordinary human being just like any other human being."

Not accepting his words, a black mana splash surrounded Stephani's body. Her resentful, resentful expression was preparing to do something to Regard.

"If you are truly an ordinary human being, you will surely perish."

Staring intently at Regard, Stephani vanished from where she was and began to appear behind her.

This...

On both of his arms were black and gold-colored swords ready to slash and stab his body.

"....."

Avoiding the stab of the golden sword, Regard also managed to dodge the black sword slash wielded by Stephani.

He's really strong.

Noticing that something was amiss, Regard was confident that this would be a much fiercer fight than his battle against the Hellhound.

Moreover, Stephani is a Fallen Angel, Regard believes that his strength and abilities far exceed the natural limits of other creatures.

Should I use my abilities? No, it's too fast to use it.

Initiating to find out the extent of Stephani's abilities and strength, Regard could only dodge and survive.

Not attacking ya. Alright. Then I'll attack him.

In an instant Stephani goes missing and appears behind Regard. Unlike the two swords earlier, the sword he was holding was a white sword on his right arm and a blue-colored sword on his left arm.

Slashing in the empty air, Stephani quickly used the blue sword on her left arm causing a whirlpool to come out from the tip of the sword that made Regard get carried away by the current by it.

Not missing the opportunity, Stephani dashed swiftly into the air and rushed over using the white sword on her right arm.

He immediately slashed through the empty air that had previously been nothing turned into white fine feathers that spread out in all directions.

"Destroy him, Burst of Wing."

(Burst of Wing, slash done using an ordinary white sword belonging to Stephani, which is able to cause feathers to scatter to the surface and then explode with dahysat and strong, powerful, it is capable of eliminating one enemy or enemy in large numbers)

When the feathers touched Regard's body, explosions rang out loud in all directions.

Regard who was unable to withstand the explosion could only hold back his consciousness from being lost from him causing his body to be severely injured, blood also had flowed in some of his limbs which made him have to endure the pain of the explosion of white feathers that Stephani shot at him.

Damnit. He's too strong.

Restraining his body to remain standing, his gaze began to faintly.

Am I going to die?

In an instant Regard fell from where he stood to the ground.

"It's really weak."

Approaching the body of Regard who lost consciousness, Stephani firmly moved her legs to kick her body.

Just when the kick was done on the body of Regard, Regard bounced far into the wall that was nearby to make all the bones in his body broken causing his body to bleed due to his kick.

"I thought you were a strong person, but it turns out you're just a weak human huh."

Disappointed at her chance to face someone, Stephani can only hope that one day someone can fight her with all her might and wholeheartedly to exceed her expectations.

•••••

The Regard POV

That girl is really strong.

Every time I dodged his attack, he quickly approached me and tried to use another sword to knock me down.

Damnit. Why did this happen?

Even though I pretended to be dead, I still couldn't find a way to deal with it.

He is an expert in both self-fighting and crowded combat, he is also an expert in possessing swords that I do not know how much he has in mastering the sword.

Had I been able to get information from him, I might have been able to destroy him.

No matter whether you are strong or not, such actions only exist in the delusions you have in the game world.

Ah...

I wonder if Sasaki would be worried and worried about me if she knew I was in such a desperate state right now?

No, I'm sure he'll hope that I can return safely.

If I don't come back, I'm sure he'll be sorry for the loss of me, the savior of his life.

Yeah, I'm sure of it so I can picture it right from her face and attitude when she finds out that I'm gone.

Rising from the fake death, I smiled and began to bring out the large amount of black mana that surrounded me in an instant.

"I thought you were going to show me, man."

Suppose yes.

In other words, he was waiting for me to use the ability and strength I had to deal with him.

No kidding.

I did it not for you, but for someone who was waiting for my return in Farihiora City.

•••••

Rumbling around the room, sparks of lightning and flames clashing against each other caused the surrounding land surface to be shattered slowly creating dust scattering making their view limited.

"Dam. How could he possibly be that strong!?"

Out of the dust blocking the view, Stephani with a puzzled expression wondered about the strength and ability that Regard had.

Stephani recalled a few minutes ago before Regard began to take it seriously.

A few minutes ago.

Rising from the dead, Regard with all his strength began to be emitted throughout his body.

His originally ordinary-looking body turned muscular, his originally human-looking eyes slowly blackened into demonic eyes, as well as a pair of horns had appeared on his head making him look different from his usual appearance.

"It's a lie, isn't it?"

Unable to withstand the shock of what she saw, Stephani thought this would be something terrifying and terrifying.

Initially, Stephani thought that Regard was a human being who had strength and abilities that exceeded the average in general, but his assumption had been wrong.

Regard who has turned into a demon figure makes Stephani convinced that he is not a human but a demon who is disguised as a human.

"....."

Stephanie's smile can be seen on Regard's lips.

When the smile was seen, Regard disappeared from where he was and appeared right in front of Stephani who left only a few inches from where he was.

"Great!"

Taking the golden sword, Stephani and Regard clashed against each other with swords that made the air around them blow fiercely.

Crack after crack, the surface of the ground slowly shattered into pieces that made the surroundings become full of dust due to the actions of the two of them.

Disappearing from where the two of them are, Stephani and Regard clash swords in the air and the surface of the ground.

Regard who was using Demon Mode took out several Black Sword sword blades that he used many times to corner Stephani. Stephani is also the same, he with a wide variety of swords using it to fend off and slash out the body of Regard to immediately disintegrate.

The speed and agility of the two is quite high so that anyone who sees it will be stunned at the movements they do that look like shadows and stars when the two are clashing with swords.

The suddenly disappearing Regard appears behind Stephani. Stephani who knows his whereabouts takes the golden sword to be able to stab him.

"....."

"Death to you, Lowly Man!"

A look of hatred and aggravation was directed at Regard.

On Stephani's right arm, a golden-coloured sword managed to stab him which left Regard's body injured and emitted a golden light from within his body.

"Goodbye, Man!"

Releasing the prick by slashing it, Stephani turned away from her which made the body of Regard explode in an instant.

Removing the sword in both hands, Stephani, who was on the ceiling, descended to the ground and sighed softly at the mismatch she wanted in the face of someone stronger than herself.

"Truly weak huh."

Inevitably thinking that she will gladly accept an attack from him, Stephani is disappointed by the weakness possessed by Regard.

Despite her high speed and agility, Stephani really did not feel the killing from within Regard, which meant that from the beginning she had come not to fight but to just explore these ruins.

That's why Stephani was disappointed in the existence of Regard.

"Do you really think I'm dead?"

"....."

In an instant, Stephanie realized the sound coming from behind her.

Before being able to move, a gust of wind was directed into Stephani's stomach which made him bounce far into the wall many times as had happened to the previous Regard.

"I admit you're great, but you really underestimate me."

Regard who was originally in Demon Mode had returned to his true identity of a human.

On both of his arms was the Black Sword ready to slash and stab Stephani.

"How can you possibly live?"

"simple. I used the additional ability to double up in the face of you."

"Double yourself?"

"Yes. Look at this!"

In an instant, the body of Regard who was initially seen alone began to be around and around Stephani.

Impossible. How could he do that?

"What's wrong? Are you surprised by my ability?"

"....."

Without waiting for long, Regard who was behind hit Stephani strongly but failed to hit her body.

In front of Stephani's body, the two light green-colored swords were crossed which made a green shield like the Magic Barrier protect Stephani from the Regard's blow.

"Sad. That was almost once."

Just barely.

Noticing once again the whole body of Regard, Stephani is confused by the existence of the real Regard.

He had absolutely no idea where he was and what he was doing, but the only way he could figure it out was that he had to finish off and obliterate the Regard in large numbers to know the real Regard.

"alright. I don't seem to have any other choice."

A large amount of mana flowed throughout Stephani's body.

The evil laughing Stephani looked at the entire Regard with demeaning to all of them. The reason Stephani did so was that he knew that his abilities and strength were far above the average of the Regard itself.

"Watch how great I am, man."

A black sphere began to appear slowly enveloping his entire body, cracks began to be seen in several places then broke into pieces revealing someone who was different from his previous appearance.

The appearance in which a beautiful long black haired girl turned into a girl with a pair of pitch-black wings, on her head a black halo circle floated in the air, accompanied by a pair of black-colored eyes signifying the devil's eyes.
