The Necromancers
Ch. 40.3: Shackles and Freedom (3)
"He was defeated."
A woman gazing towards where her friend Lucifer was, her expression looked disappointed that she could not outlast him.
"Sadly.he's very strong."
"Yes, you're right."
"....."
Friya and Reita who looked exhausted stared intently at the woman who was sitting in her place. The expression they displayed was resentful and resentful of his resilience in enduring the barrage of attacks from them many times without being scratched or injured in the slightest.
In contrast to the two of them, Fuuya who had been staring at him in silence put on an annoyed expression at his strong resistance to his transparent Fenrir claws and herd.
His pitted teeth, his position that seemed to be preparing to attack, and his expression of unwilling to accept defeat made Fuuya think there was still time not to give up.
"Is there any way to overcome his strong resistance?"
Sasaki, the short silver-haired girl who oversaw the fight had not found the slightest gap from her opponent.
No matter how many attacks he made using missiles, his machine sword, and the [Rage of Demi-humans], all of them were unable to break through his defenses.
Moreover, according to Sasaki, objects nearby that look like a body and a pair of wings really make the strength and ability is fairly strong beyond the ability they have.
Even when the fight was going on, they found it difficult to compensate so easily that they would not get hurt or lost.
One mistake can make their lives disappear, that's what happened before in the fight they did from Sasaki's point of view.
"The game is over."
In the woman's hand there are black, white, red and yellow circles that are visible in several places that rotate in the palm of her hand.
His looking around him made them confident that he would make a great final strike that they were hard to withstand.
"Friya!"
"Yes." Yeah."
In Friya's right hand, her magic wand was pointed forward which made her light up a silvery and golden color that enveloped their bodies.
Reita who was in the front row, he quickly stepped on the ground below him to make a protective form of a large wall that was solid in layers. Behind the line, Fuuya who quickly hit the surface made the bones from inside the ground come out supporting the walls to increase defense.
Should I help them?
Unlike the three, Sasaki hesitated to help them.
Her self who lacked the ability and supporting power like them put her in a disadvantageous situation to be able to look useful to them.
Overall, Sasaki has a great combat ability beyond any human. But because he lacks support skills, he has trouble supporting those who are not his type at all.
"Let me interrupt his concentration."
"Wait, Sasaki! If you act rashly, you'll be gone."
"Yes, I know that."
Sasaki who flew into the sky checked the situation of his enemy.
His silent enemy makes Sasaki confident he can do it. He who quickly divided his body into three, moved to the woman who was focusing on the magic circle in his palm.
The two Sasaki who lunged directly at him fired missiles many times that were not effective against his strong defenses. Continuing with repeated slashes on his machine sword continuously, there were no cracks or scratches imprinting on his defensive shield.
"Sad..."
Flying away from him, both Sasaki crossed his arms at the ceiling with a long machine that replaced his sword. The machine looked a long one that was similar to a cannon but had a large size that did not look like an ordinary cannon.
Slowly red to orange colored particles appeared and began to form circles in large numbers of medium-sized. Each of the collected particles started to light up making the three of them who were covered by the wall and the bones shocked over what light was on the dazzling ceiling.
"Maybe this won't be able to break through your defenses, but...."
Just when the orange-sized sphere was emitting a dazzling light, Sasaki smiled confidently for her belief this time.
"But I'm sure I can leave a scratch or a crack in your defense, man."
A black aura that emanated enveloping his body made Sasaki throw a large orange ball towards the woman.
The woman did not budge nor run away from her place, she only smiled as she had already completed the magic spell that was in her palm without any worry and anxiety over her condition.
Really sad.
The magic circle that revolved in his palm floated in the air which then emitted a black and white light simultaneously making the atmosphere around turn strange.
"It's..."
"Could he..."
"Yes. No doubt, this is his area."
Reita, Fuuya, and Friya who are shocked at the magic they have are not used to attack but make large-scale areas make them anxious and worried about the conditions possessed by Sasaki.
I hope you're okay, Sasaki.
Friya who holds both hands placed on her chest hopes that her prayers are answered for Sasaki's safety. He knew he hoped it wouldn't pay off, but at least he wanted Sasaki to be fine and survive without the slightest injury to his body from the fight they would do later.
The woman who was originally in the reach of the orange-colored large ball disappeared in an instant and appeared behind Sasaki.
"Impossible."
Several blows were repelled by Sasaki's machine shield, from blows to the stomach, chest, legs, hands, and cheeks, and were prevented by the impenetrable machine shield.
This can't be allowed.
Several machines floated in the air besieging the woman who was unable to penetrate Sasaki's defenses.
The light appeared bright red which slowly began to enlarge and then shot it at the woman who was targeted by the long hovering machine.
It's working?
Along the invisible dust, the two Sasaki retreated quickly to keep their distance from him.
He is really strong.
The original Sasaki who was observing the situation, he quickly took out a few sword blades that he channeled his mana to make it look transparent.
I hope this works.
Her hope of secretly helping them could leave the woman quickly shocked at her defense that she could break.

"It's...."
Along the way to the forest exit, Shilphonia was struck by a different atmosphere than before. The atmosphere was silent and silent, and the colors of the entire scene and the objects around it were black and white in color.
"He intends to end it."
Seen from how seriously he took out his ability, Shilphonia thought this would make the situation troublesome for them if they did not take the initiative to act immediately in preventing it.
Elsewhere, Regard who was initially relaxing began to stand up and watch his surroundings closely.
There was no sign of people or monsters passing by, on the contrary, the quiet and silent atmosphere without the existence of anyone accompanied by black and white makes him sure this is not just any place that can be made by someone.
I knew they had the strongest abilities.
Smiling at how he felt, Regard sooner or later thought that his enemy would be unable to defeat them even though they had been cornered in the desperate situation they were in.
Alright. Now what am I supposed to do?
On one of his arms that let out several black balls that floated and disappeared in the empty air made Regard smile and laugh at what he was about to do.
Of all kinds of thoughts in doing in any way, Regard was sure they thought he would not bother them in the least. That was why Regard started acting making him confident that they could handle him after he had made a big opening that his enemy was hard to predict.
I'll wait for you to win, guys.
Walking away from his place and smiling, the only thing to fear for his opponent was not the ability that Reita, Fuuya, and Friya had but Sasaki herself who had a dangerous ability that was difficult to overcome.
I hope you can go berserk, Sasaki.
Sending the message through [Mind Reading] to the person he was referring to, Regard stopped him and resumed his journey towards the forest exit immediately.
•••••
I hope you can go berserk, Sasaki.
Those words were clearly heard through the mind of Sasaki's head.
I-i understand.
Closing his eyes for a moment, Sasaki thought to wait for the results of the tactics he had put in this time. Whether it worked or not, he already did not expect the slightest success from his previous idea.
Not far from where he was, the two Sasaki who fended off the slash from the sword held him as tightly as possible while maintaining his balance.
For the two of them, the intense pressure generated through the footing and the power channeled into the sword he wielded made them believe that was the reason for the intense pressure they could feel.
Now!
Pushing with a shockwave, the woman bounced and fell to the ground.
Shortly after he fell, the flaming transparent shield showed a reaction that he had been attacked without realizing it. The woman who circled around the view found out where the attack was done to her, but she still did not find it.
Where did he attack me?
Constantly being noticed by him, there were no signs that his attacks were visible to him.
Damnit.
Clenching both hands, the woman decided to end it and began to stand up while getting ready to immediately finish off the two Sasaki who were in front of her.
"I'm not letting you play games with me!"
"....."
The entire area that was originally black and white returned to its original pitch blackness around them because the weather was still nighttime.
In front of the two of them, the woman emitted a dazzling green-colored light that enveloped her body they could see with the naked eye. That light had a countless number of mana in number that could be felt by the two of them.
"It's terrible!"
"Yes, you're right."
The two Sasaki who pointed one of its arms forward formed a machine shield within a wide range that added a certain amount of mana into it making its thickness stronger than before.
[Machine Shield] reinforced by a large number of mana has a bright blue color that looks bright in the dark makes them sure that the defense will not be easily penetrated by his attacks later.
In one of his hands, a channeled mana machine sword was seen that could quite turn him into a long spear in the form of a drill that had spines on the tip of his spear in large quantities.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Throwing his spear and holding it upside down, the two of them aimed at the target before them easily then threw it without hesitation.
I'm not gonna let you stop me!
The woman who was staring intently filled with an annoyed expression pulled out the two swords that crossed in front of her that were black. The dark aura emitted by the two swords absorbed the spear easily then vanished in the blink of an eye without any trace.
Really stupid.
"....."
"....."
Unaware by the two of them, several holes were made in their blind spots.
The spears that they had originally thrown had a number of one there were dozens of spears that were fired towards them nonstop.
The two Sasaki who managed to dodge and jump many times kept them busy on the spear that never stopped shooting at them.
"Now it's time for you to be gone."
Finished saying that to himself, the woman's body slowly turned different.
The figure that originally looked beautiful turned into a creepy and terrifying one. Yes, that woman turned into a demon. It was obvious from his skin turning black, the pair of horns on his long forehead, his pointed ears, his originally black hair turning white, the pair of horns on his forehead, a pair of broad stretched black wings that looked like the wings of a bat, as well as a long black tail could be seen by them.
"....."
The figure disappeared easily without them knowing.
"Kuh..."
Unable to predict his attack, one of Sasaki who was pushed by his hard-to-hold punch made him bounce far into several trees in his falling range.
"It's time for your turn!"
"Damn!"
Disappearing like lightning, the demonic figure appeared on the ceiling with several dark black-colored sword blades curling upwards directed at Sasaki who was still unaware of its existence.
"Aaaarrrrggghhhh!"
The pain of the sword stabbing that was done many times made the darkness begin to penetrate Sasaki's body.
Pain, despair, hatred, wrath, vengeance, and voidness had Sasaki's heart and mind tortured countless times mercilessly making her rebel countless times as the sword continued to stick in her body.
"Death!"
The last sword he wielded emitted a sea-blue aura thrust into his body making Sasaki disappear in an instant.
