The Necromancers
Ch. 27.2: He is the Enemy

In cold and warm weather, the soup is perfect for breakfast. Each person receives his own portion. If anyone wants to add a portion, Regard is ready to give it.

"How's the food?"

"Nob."

Around them, a short-haired white girl sipped the soup sauce she was drinking. It feels warm and fitting on the spice, that's the feeling when enjoying it.

Shilphonia who noticed the short white haired girl, shifted her seat towards Regard and whispered something to him.

"Are you sure you let him settle down?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you realize it? He is our enemy. There's a chance he'll fight us later."

Although they were whispering to each other, the short-haired white girl was aware of their conversation.

However, he indifferently continued his morning breakfast voraciously. After finishing breakfast, he placed the bowl on the surface and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?"

"Have you come to spy on us?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't know ya."

Ignoring Regard, the girl walked up to him and went quite a distance away from where she was.

Regard who was looking at his back, he just fell silent. Her resentful and hateful expression was directed at him without being omitted clearly from her own face.

"Regard!"

A smile had adorned his face before he vanished from his place.

Trang!

Hard clashes face each other.

Regard with the [Black Sword] in his right hand, and the short white-haired girl with a kind of long pointed machine like a sword above his wrist, both of them were pitted against each other.

"Interesting."

Adding a heavy pedestal on her legs and hands, the girl tried her hardest to hold it in.

Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain.

Before being able to hold it in for longer, Regard quickly kicked his stomach causing the girl to be thrown quite far to the ground surface, banging his body many times.

Disappearing from where he was, Regard immediately took out a large amount of [Ice Lance] directed from the air towards him.

The girl as much as possible used a rectangular-shaped machine that resembled a shield to protect her from the relentless fire of ice spears.

"He's very strong."

Before using a large number of rifle-shaped machines, Regard again kicked his body to the ceiling, ground level, and side that he did mercilessly.

The five of them who noticed the attitude of Regard who turned violent and aggressive did not expect this to happen at all, including Sasaki.

He had never known at all that his master, Regard would bring out his anger and hatred more than anything for himself and his salvation.

Moreover, Regard has told her, he will protect Sasaki no matter what happens later.

In other words, Sasaki was moved by the care of her master all this time.

"God..."

A barrage of fireballs, accompanied by multiple lightning strikes hit the surface, followed by mounds of earth repeatedly hitting the body of the white haired girl, she was unable to hold it as well as she could.

"God!"

Right behind him, the full strength and capability of the Regard was deployed.

The person who turned into Fenrir had the same appearance as Fenrir. Starting from his hair that suddenly extended and changed color from white to blue, a pair of wolf ears and a bushy long tail appeared, visible feathers of hands and feet, as well as fangs can be seen by the five of them.

Not only appearance, Regard's body had completely transformed into a fully naked adult female figure exposing her body without a single piece of clothing on her.

Dum!

Thrown from a powerful kick of physical ability that Fenrir had, the girl vomited her blood many times as she fell on the ground.

Activating [Fenrir Mode], the body of Regard that was enveloped by a large amount of blue flames formed the appearance of a gigantic Fenrir that was ready to charge at him. Followed by the activated [Infinity Spirit], he quickly made it as a pair of wings that coincided with the shape of Fenrir.

"This is the result if you eliminate the people closest to me."

A strong gust of wind gushing around him could be felt. Followed by the cold gusts of ice and the relentless blizzard enveloping the area around really made them astonished at what Regard was going to do.

"Regard!"

It's noisy!

Raising one of his arms, a wall of ice formed like fangs covered their vision.

"It's time for you to vanish, Hu-Machina."

Darting like lightning, Fenrir swallowed his enemy mercilessly. The flames that gnawed at Hu-Machina's body slowly burned and obliterated her entire body to nothing.

Before his body disappeared, Regard used a barrage of wing feathers from the [Infinity Spirit] that shot at high speed through Hu-Machina's skin causing her blood to drip before Hu-Machina's body finally disappeared completely.

Finished doing so, Regard eliminated all of his abilities and strength.

His body that staggered to the ground, held back his consciousness as much as possible to not be taken over by the darkness in itself. Taking a small bottle from the [Dimension Portal], Regard hurriedly drank the blood from a few bottles then finished it.

As much as possible, Regard changed his figure back to a man and eliminated the figure of adult Fenrir who had a woman without clothes before.

"It's...."

"It's amazing."

Just when the fang-shaped ice walls vanished, they gained the entire ground surface caused by their fight turned drastically into a battleground.

Starting from the cracked ground, visible mounds of land, ice spears in the former cracks, large craters that managed to be created actually made them silent for a while.

"Sorry to bother you."

Before they finally realized, they did not say anything but accepted it with pleasure.

"Sir..."

Surprisingly Sasaki hugged Regard tightly. Crying had been seen on his face, as well as his sobbing tone from his cries earlier, Regard was sure he was moved by his concern in his present condition.

"What will we do later?"

"Looks like we're gonna stay for another night."

"Again?"

"Yes. There's something I want to try to do."

"All right."

With that they had forgotten the existence of the short white-haired girl who had previously been in their midst like the wind and then who was blowing fiercely.

The Regard POV

Now it's time to test.

Using the [Shadow Clone], I changed her appearance thanks to the [Illusion] that could be seen clearly when before me was a short white haired girl with no soul in her.

"Yes. But is it safe?"

"Yes, leave it to me."

"All right."

Hitting his stomach as he lay and closing his eyes, I took out his soul that had been successfully grasped by me.

His soul seemed to move uniquely.

I don't know how long it's been, I'm used to seeing souls come out of someone's body. Whether because of my class as a Necromancer or because I always use this ability on them, I myself do not know.

The most important thing right now is to perform a special ritual of my own class so that Sasaki can get a better body.

Putting her soul into Hu-Machina's body, I started activating [Infinity Spirit] at the same time.

The magic circle began to stretch wide on the surface it was on and then spread out with a dark purple color that slowly started to give off a dazzling light.

"[Curse of the Death]."

It's a terrible resurrection magic.

The souls that sprung from the magic circle began to enter Hu-Machina's body as well as fuse together with Sasaki's soul.

Holding him in this position, I moved my hand to his stomach as if pushing him. The magic circle accompanied by writings began to appear several lines where I pushed it.

The lines slowly began to spread and then disappeared in an instant along with the magic circle that was under our footrests that stopped shining brightly.

It's working?

Checking for a normal heartbeat, his regular breathing, and the pulse that could be felt, all went smoothly.

Now it's just waiting for him to wake up.

Spreading his body to the surface, I sat nearby.

Maybe he will wake up with a different personality than the usual Sasaki. Thanks to a mix of souls that managed to fuse with each other, there was a chance that he could have a dual personality like a Shilph or a single personality.

The most important thing at this moment was to observe the situation that would happen to him.

"....."

"How are you doing?"

"....."

He looked at me and looked the other way.

After waking up from his sleep in a sitting position, he moved his hands and fingers.

Is he still unable to understand himself?

I don't know how to confirm it, but at least I just need to pay attention to her condition now. Whether it goes well or fails, all will be missed later.

•••••

"Sir, is that you?"

"Yes.".

With a light smile on his face, Regard nodded.

The short white-haired girl immediately hugged him and cried loudly. His heart that was afraid that he would be gone a second time did not want that to happen.

"Welcome back, Sasaki!"

"Yes." Yeah."

In a close warm embrace, the two exchanged deep emotions from their respective feelings.

Sasaki, who was able to come back to life after her soul was transferred to her new body, was happy at the care of her master, Regard.

The register is the same. He thought that his personality would be different than before, but it seemed like the estimation had been wrong.

When Regard learns of Sasaki's reaction and feelings towards him, he knows very well that in front of him is not the new Sasaki he created but the Sasaki he has known all along.

"How does it feel?"

"Everything's fine."

Holding his head, Regard raised his body and told him to sleep.

Sasaki followed his advice. He was immediately led by Regard to his room to be able to rest in peace on his new body.

Right the next day, on a bright afternoon with a bright shining sun that caused the blazing from its rays to feel hot, everyone gathered in the field.

"....."

Most of them were confused by the presence of someone in their midst who they had previously thought had been wiped out by the wrath of Regard.

But, that person with a light smile waved at them like nothing happened last night.

"alright. It might be a little confusing for you guys, but I'll explain the presence of this guy."

Regard who looked at him, nodded. Likewise with the girl by his side who had taken note of his gaze, smiled and nodded.

"My name is Sasaki. I'm an old friend of Regard."

"Old friend?"

"Could possibly..."

"Don't tell me you're..."

Most of the shocked expressions could be clearly seen by them.

Those who think that the act of transmigration is impossible can be easily done by Regard without any side effects.

Coughing for a moment, Regard began to put on a serious expression towards them.

"Maybe this surprised you a little, but at least everything went well."

"That's right. Thanks to Master, I can be revived in this great body."

Taking out the sword blade from his machine that appeared in one of his hands, Sasaki slashed through the empty air as if it looked cooler.

Everyone who looked at him, was amazed. Applause was heard many times until it finally subsided.

"alright. It's time we go."

"Yes." Yeah."

"All right."

Continuing the journey, they made their way towards the next location not far from the Miju Plain.

"Sasaki?"

"Sir, you feel so soft."

"....."

To the surprise of the people walking, Regard did not expect that Sasaki's spoiled attitude could be felt now.

On the other side, Fenrir hissed as if looking annoyed and resentful at the presence of his new enemy who seemed annoying for having hugged his body beyond his expectations.

"....."

Seeing the smile that was emitted on Sasaki's lips, Fenrir grew even more annoyed and hated her.
