The Necromancers
Ch. 32.5:Request Liliana

The moon shines brightly at night. Its cold air, accompanied by a quiet atmosphere really made one think there would be a group of people wandering around in the middle of the night known as The Necromancer.

According to most people, a night out for no particular reason will only make them meet with a group of The Necromancer, a group that will allegedly eradicate crime while they sleep.

Outside Resihei City, Fuuya and Sasaki in the north were sitting on a tree waiting for the presence of monsters and other creatures that would cause destruction to Resihei City.

"It's really boring."

Regard who had been sitting on the surface of the ground that had green grass evaporated.

He had patrolled many times not only in the south, he had also done so in the west. During the several times he had patrolled along with his [Shadow Clone], he had found nothing threatening Resihei City.

In the east, Reita who had been looking back and forward alternately made his heart hesitate.

Reita's memory goes back to the previous negotiations.

Regard who explains that they will split up and split up for the safety and interests of the city, Fuuya and Sasaki initially objected to his unilateral decision, while Reita, he agreed to agree to his statement.

According to Reita, as long as Fuuya and Sasaki were not around, she could have quietly approached her stepbrother and held hands like a family.

Unfortunately, the dream did not come true.

If only I could really do it.

His expression that looked up to the branches and gaps that could be seen by the beautiful moonlight, sadness was seen in his blue eyes.

Within Resihei City, Shilphonia and Friya carry out their usual duties of killing criminals who act at night without being known to the public or the Royal Knights on duty.

Each of them got four cars that had contraband in large quantities. Be it quality wine, arak which is quite expensive and luxurious, staple ingredients such as wheat and fruits that are not in every place are fairly rare, but also rare, and there are some anti-magic necklaces that can curb anyone who wears them from being able to use magic.

Really sad.

Friya who noticed it, disgusted at their ignorance that magic can be controlled through various other ways to be free from the restraints of magic.

Because Friya was trained by her aunt, Nek Ryadu, she was taught various things about magic, including how to raise and reduce the pressure of magic on her.

During her training, she always wore a magic restrictor necklace which caused her to have difficulty controlling it for several times each month.

"Will this work?"

"Yes. Please try again!"

With a smile visible on his wrinkled face, Nek Ryadu nodded at Friya's words.

Friya, who was 50 years old at the time, exuded a large amount of mana in the palm to regulate the magic pressure to be added to it in greater proportions.

"It's...."

Surprisingly, the necklace that curbed Friya's magic broke due to the magic capacity required to be able to curb the magic in a certain amount broke because of the excess capacity in it.

"You're really amazing, son."

"Hehehe..."

Smiling at her success, Friya blushed in embarrassment at the praise from her aunt.

That's all Friya can remember.

Unlike Friya, Shilphonia who had been looking for the existence of the treasure stored by them, found nothing but smuggling goods in the carriage of goods.

Too bad yes.

Not getting anything, the glint of anger seen in his pupils caused Shilphonia to grin and then burn them mercilessly using a bow and arrow enveloped by fire magic within.

The fire spread quickly, burning everything around even the horse carriage, and its contents were destroyed by the ferocity of the fire.

"Goodbye, Loser!"

Nothing intrigued him, with slow, light steps, Shilphonia ignored to fix him back to leave a trace in her anger at them.

In the Kingdom of Finra, a blaze burns everything within reach. Some of the charred and destroyed houses, as well as some of the townspeople who were on fire really look scary and terrible in the view at night.

"Dam. Why are they so many?"

Inside the Kingdom of Finra, several members of the noble family gathered in one room, shocked at the presence of the many monsters that no adventurer, including Colorful Adventure, could afford to kill.

"Based on the report, this was the second time they had attacked the Finier Capital. First in the east, now in the west."

"Shouldn't the defense be able to eliminate them?"

"It does not seem to be able to spend a large number of troops."

Bluffing his teeth, the man placed both his hands on his knees, hung his head and put on an annoyed expression at their unrelenting presence.

According to the bald-headed man with hair on both sides thin, the report given was accurate.

Starting from the first attack of monsters in large numbers in the east, the, everything is done by Wyverns who have their herd make severe damage to the defense machines in the form of remote shooting machines and explosives that are able to destroy swarms of monsters in large numbers successfully destroyed by them.

After the Wyverns attack the Finier Capital's defenses, a horde of monsters enter it causing the scattered city dwellers to be obliterated and brutally killed by them.

"Is there a way to stop it all?"

Despair can be seen clearly from every face in the other nobles.

The reason they looked like that was that they were deadlocked in finding a solution, be it a means of handling to repel the monsters and the defense of the city, both of which were not in their respective minds.

In short, they were deadlocked in a desperate condition.

The Royal Knights sent from various cities and kingdoms, they were all unable to handle the ferocity and rage of the monsters that were attacking the western city.

Most of the Royal Knights who defend, they are destroyed by a horde of monsters that make their bodies incomplete when they are gone.

Within a hill far enough away, the figure of a man flew across the bright night sky of the beautiful moonlight.

Sooner or later, you'll be gone.

That's all he had in mind.

As long as the victory is achieved, he will continue the terrible and terrifying terror against anyone in the Finier Capital and the next cities that will be the target of his attack.

The Regard POV

Since three days passed, the mission was completed.

It sounds boring to do, but at least enough to change the atmosphere around to be different from usual.

Well, I know that saying is a lie.

The fact that I spent a lot of time experimenting with various abilities and magic poured into it, I was amazed at some of the functions of some things that were capable of being combined.

All in all, I began to understand what was necessary and unnecessary.

In other words, I have seen an outline of powers and abilities that exceed the natural limits of any existing being. Much stronger and more powerful than my own class, Necromancer.

"....."

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the town centre, they cheered at what lay ahead, complaining about something I did not know was the cause.

Did the nobles do anything?

As far as I know, the nobles who have been operating at night, most of them cannot be trusted or honest to be considered as good people.

Demi-human slavery, looting of illegal goods, smuggling, and extortion were often carried out by their men in dealing with their work with clean hands in themselves.

The result is clear.

"Excuse me..."

"Yes." Yeah."

Behind the splitting crowd let a white-haired girl walk carrying her horse by her side, smiling and approaching me.

Does he have a need for me?

Looking back, I found no one, except myself who he was looking at.

"Do you have a need with me?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Exorcising her horse, the girl who turned her gaze towards me, pulled out her exposed sword that was extended towards me as if she wanted to do something.



"Will you duel with me?"

"Duel?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Honestly, I didn't want to do it, but the girl's eyes were all smouldering in them so I couldn't bear to refuse.

"alright. But, don't expect much from me, weak person."

"certain."

Turning her gaze into the crowd, a few female knights riding on horses walked slowly towards us.

"Did you hear it?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"When are we gonna do it?"

"Morning in the town square."

Tomorrow morning yes.

I don't know if squandering an opportunity would be considered good or not, I'm less sure.

As long as I get enough sleep at night and let them carry out their duties as The Necromancer, I don't have to worry over the security of Resihei City at night.

But something disturbed my calm.

That girl, I don't know her at all.

Judging from her entire appearance, she was the ideal girl. Long white hair, beautiful face, a pair of sky blue eyes, and an ideal body like an idol really makes anyone fixated on his appearance.

Never mind.

Sooner or later, I'll give up on the game.

Win or lose, I don't care.

As long as I can hide my identity as a Necromancer, people will not be able to know the reality that existed all along.

Not only them, the other kingdoms would remain silent without knowing anything about me so it was safe for me to move behind the scenes in showing them my abilities and strength.

•••••

Along the way, Regard noticed the many Royal Knights who had come in Resihei City who were on standby at some of the places he had seen.

Most of them and their troops were talking about something that Regard did not know.

Is there a new problem?

Unable to understand anything, Regard nonchalantly walked back.

"Wait a minute, son!"

"Hmmm...."

His footsteps stopped right when someone called out to him.

Slowly the man approached Regard.

Judging from the overall look, he was a handsome-looking man with long hair tied up and neatly combed to the right side. He also wore full armor on his body in silver, and there was a large sword on his back, along with a rectangular shield that had a unique look inside.

"Are you the Regard Arthen?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The man's face that looked relieved caused Regard some confusion.

Is there anything he wants to say?

Unable to understand anything, he could only assume that he was considered a sinner that Regard himself did not know for what wrong people accused him of.

As long as he moved at night and away from the public in showing himself to be a Necromancer, they did not know about the sins he had committed all this time.

"Be careful, son. The woman who met you earlier was a great knight in her sword play."

"Greatest knight?"

"Yes. She is Liliana Lauren, a Chief of the Forces in the special forces of the Kingdom of Minra."

"Special forces?"

"Yes. That said, Chairman Liliana was a disciple of the great knight named Veru Sukijane."

Sukijane Veru? That's Uncle Veru's name isn't it?

Unable to contain his shock, the originally calm Regard began to change. His trembling body, the smile that adorned his face, as well as his instincts that said to him this was a good opportunity made him believe that this was an accidental encounter.

He and Liliana, both of them were people taught sword techniques by the same person, Veru.

That's why Regard was happy with the information.

"Do you want to hear my warning?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Returning to his consciousness, the smile that adorned his face vanished was replaced by the usual expression of the face of Regard.

"I'll remember the warning you gave me, Uncle."

"Thank God you listened to me, son."

Finished telling him that, the man and his army of soldiers started walking with the horses by their side to patrol around Resihei City.

Really weird huh.

Continuing on, Regard did not expect he would meet an educational fellow in learning the sword techniques that Veru, their teacher taught each other.

In his mind, Regard wanted to take the match the next day to be non-serious and chose to lose. But deep down, Regard wants a rare chance to win the game against the same man as himself.

The two of them collided with each other within themselves.

Forgetit. Just focus on what I'm going to do right now.

Walking and putting aside his interests the next day, Regard disappeared from the crowd of people who had no idea where he was going.
