The Necromancers
Ch. 27.1: He is the Enemy

We stopped at the Miju Plain.

The vast and windy green plains, none of the monsters and demons, as well as the scenery that nature presented were truly incredible.

It's afternoon.

Since we could not continue the journey, I told Friya to make some places for us to stay for a while.

"[Instructions]."

The ground trembled violently and then the pillars from the ground came out, followed by the part of the ground that slowly formed part of the roof, there was also a part of the room that was formed by itself, the front yard, and, and the bathroom for the bath, it's all made.

I didn't expect it to be useful for everyday life.

For example, it saves us time and money. But, comeon. I don't want to spend money constantly just for the sake of the lodging and the food they serve during our stay.

"Is this enough?"

"Yes. It's more than enough."

The three of us entered a place that I can now say is a grand and magnificent palace. The corridors created inside really look very simple yet beautiful.

Starting from the furniture that was added, the surface of the soil coated by stones, ornaments that can be seen that use crystals and some other lights like lights, such as lights, as well as some sofas and tables located in the hall is really nuanced fantasy beyond anything.

Along the way, we parted at the end of the hall not far from the hall.

Shilph who entered the first room, Friya who entered the room opposite Shilph, Reita who entered the second room of Shilph, Fenrir and I were one room in front of Reita's room. As for Sasaki, she was next to Reita's room.

I don't know why he's really inseparable so far.

"May I ask why you're on a mission?"

"It's clear. I want to avenge their actions for the bad ones committed against Sasaki."

"Sasaki's? You mean the Demi-humans?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Hugging me back, he rubbed his head against my body.

I have no idea what his attitude means to me at all, but I can be sure he is afraid that I will leave him like he did in the past.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you, Fenrir. I will stay with you and the others, even though I know that one day I will fall down like before."

"really? Thanks."

He hugged me and dropped the body into the bed.

Judging from his appearance, I can assume that Fenrir is a child who needs more affection and attention than a human being he believes in.

Apart from her dead mother, she was betrayed by humans which caused her to hate completely on the actions and mistakes they made on the Fenrir race.

That's why he's always clinging to me because he probably believes that I'm the only human being he can trust easily.

Oh, that's right too.

I think it's better if I send this to all of them.

Everyone, listen to me carefully.

What was?

Are we going to continue our journey?

Could it be that we shorten the time to arrive at Lost Town?

Did something happen, Regard?

What's up, Mister?

The four of them looked anxious and worried for what I was about to say, including Fenrir who was in front of me.

He looked at me with his eyes locked on me, his expression sad, and his two ears drooping down, I could make sure he was worried about my condition.

"Don't worry, I'm fine this time."

"....."

He's a really good boy huh.

Stopping that thought, I began to explain to them what we would do from now on.

Because it took a lot of time to arrive at Lost Town, we deliberately settled on the Miju Plain to save our expenses. So, I want to tell them that we can survive other than just the palace made by Friya.

Are you guys hungry? I can get out all the ingredients I need if you intend.

The ingredients?

What do you mean is the monster meat that you have been storing all this time?

Yeah, thats.

That's....

Accidentally, I could hear their stomachs rumbling behind the [Mind Reading] I was doing to them.

Alright.

I wanna.

Me either.

Agree.

Getting a definite answer, I smiled and exited the palace heading to the outer courtyard of the palace to make some necessary preparations.

First of all, I needed wood, rocks, strong logs, as well as some meat that was successfully removed, I put them on the surface.

Maybe it'll take a little time, but that's it. As long as we can survive in our own way then we are ready for whatever happens.

•••••

All night long, the moon shone brightly. The stars that adorn the sky make a beautiful beauty to be seen on a clear night.

"Aren't you going in, Regard?"

"Yes, I'll be in in a minute."

On the lap of a man, there was a long dark blue haired little girl who was laying down her body on the green plains.

Her hand stroking the little girl's hair reminded her of her previous life. A quiet and peaceful life with his beloved and dearest family.

But all that is gone.

Both life in the previous world and the present world, both of them were no longer as valuable as he could wish.

All of these are activities he remembers.

"Why are you smiling, Regard?"

"none. I'm just thinking about my own past."

Hearing the man holding his head say with a smile on his face, the little girl was sure it must have been times where she had difficulties in the past.

Just like the man who held her back, the little girl also knew how much pain she was in.

A quiet and peaceful life is lost once the humans come to Mount Baurme. They always hunted his flock, took and tortured his mother, and killed him.

It was a memory that the little girl could not forget.

Every day he struggled alone after being left behind by all the herds. Hunt, survive, search for a new herd of humans. The activity continued to happen repeatedly before he finally met the right person.

The man himself is Regard. A person who feels enough to know his dark past that will never be told to others, except for himself.

"Hey Fenrir, do you want me to give you a new name?"

"Name?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Hearing the unexpected words, enthusiasm was evident from his brightly shining eyes.

"You."

"alright. Let me think of the right name."

Looking up at the night sky, Regard pondered for a moment on behalf that was suitable for the current Fenrir.

The reason he wanted to give her a new name was to avoid the suspicion that the Royal Knights had on their side. Whether what would happen if they accidentally called it out in public, Regard was sure something bad would happen.

Just like the past he had seen through Fenrir's blood, Regard was eager not to be repeated over the times when Fenrir hated humans again.

"....."

"What's up, Regard?"

"Some one's coming."

"....."

Hearing the words from Regard, Fenrir's sharp nose sniffed a strange smell for him to know.

It smelled like a human but there was some mixture in it. Confused and astonished, Fenrir simply tilted his head. He had not known about this smell at all before so he did not realize that someone would approach them.

"Regard, stay behind!"

"Good."

Being in a position ready to attack, silvery-white feathers were seen on Fenrir's hands and feet. Tails and ears that stand upright indicate that he is alert, and fangs that are shown indicate that he will be ready to attack him.

Slowly the shadowy figure approached them, and approached until it could finally be seen through the fireplace near Regard and Fenrir.

"....."

Regard and Fenrir who were both clueless over what had happened, were puzzled by the presence of a silver-colored short-haired girl who suddenly fell to the ground, and were unconscious.

The next day, the dawn had come. The sun that enters through an artificial window can shine a light on anyone who is still asleep.

In Regard's room, he who had woken up from the beginning with Fenrir was training outside in the Miju Plains.

The two of them who darted quickly clashed with swords that produced an iron complaint that shrieked the ears.

The rapidly darting fenrir, floated in the air, throwing some feathers from its tail that turned into ice crystals. Regard, who was at ground level, deflected it at high speed many times and then vanished where he was.

Trang!

The two are in the air.

The strong gusts of wind that surrounded them could actually be felt by the grasses that were on the surface that seemed to grow a little could be waving due to the gusts of wind.

The two of them vanished and reappeared at a great distance.

Around Fenrir, a barrage of [Ice Lotus] was successfully thrown at the Regard. Ice crystals that are shaped like flowers that hit the surface of the ground bloom more widely in range which causes the surface of the ground to be filled with ice that is cold in the morning.

Regard who managed to dodge the attack, he struck the air with his sword. The wind from the blow shot swiftly towards Fenrir.

But unfortunately, the many times slashes produced from the wind around Regard could be held back by the movements of the Fenrir twisting in the air.

The fenrir that had been moving in the air while fending off the wind slash, the [Wind Slash] of the Regard repeatedly gathered the air around him, harnessing the wind and blowing it up like a ball of wind protecting his body.

"Good job."

"Yes. You're the same, Regard."

The sweat flowing on both their bodies could be clearly seen.

Inside the room in the artificial palace, all the girls who woke up from their slumber, hugging their respective bodies, were freezing over the morning air which felt uncharacteristic.

Why is it so cold?

Shilphonia who was constantly shaking from the cold as much as possible accelerated her footsteps towards the warm public bath for her body.

Chilling...

Friya and Reita who came out of the inn room rushing to the warm public bath, they both hugged their own bodies, shaking and shivering from the air.

"By the way we destroy this first, Fenrir."

"Yes." Yeah."

Regard and Fenrir who had made a mess in the morning by turning the usual morning weather to cold started to break the ice flowers to pieces.

After doing so, Regard told Fenrir to take a shower first.

"Are you sure you don't want to shower first?"

"Yes, I want to take a shower with you."

"All right."

Before they bathed, Regard used [Instructions] just like Friya to summon some of the wood she had changed using Reita's [Change Material].

Some wood was piled on the surface, followed by rocks as a tool to sit on which Regard used the same as before to look beautiful and beautiful to see.

"alright. Let's go."

"Yes." Yeah."

Rushing away to the public bath, Regard and Fenrir walked together.
