The Necromancers
Ch. 45.4:Betting In (4)

This...

Deep in the darkness, a long-haired navy blue girl who looked puzzled wondered about what she was seeing now.

The whole room was pitch black, there was no footing, no walls or people around, and the girl still did not understand what was happening to her.

At once, he was in a battle against the golem with his body that contained lightning elements spreading around him, the girl only closed her eyes for a moment as long as she took out a certain amount of mana from within her body, the girl simply closed her eyes for a moment as long as she let out a certain amount of mana from within, using [Fenrir Mode] to end this fight immediately, he was suddenly in a place like this.

"You're finally here, Fuuya."

This sound...

Slowly the light of the flames in the distance was seen shining on both sides that spread towards him which looked unfamiliar to the place around him, Fuuya was still confused.

"It's your second meeting, huh, Fuuya."

"Yes, you're right. I thought you wouldn't be seen right now, but you actually showed up in front of me."

The figure that was in the distance from Fuuya slowly approached him, standing right in front of him, a smile adorning the face of the man in front of him as if he looked friendly at the smile of warmth he saw.

Fuuya also returned a smile on her face directed at him signifying that she really wanted to meet this man for the second time.

"So where am I now?"

"In your body."

"My body?"

Looking to the left-right side, however, Fuuya saw the contents inside his body look like a holding cell in the basement that contained a fire torch burning on each of the existing rock walls.

"I know you must look confused at this place, but let's forget about it."

In the man's hand, a blaze of blue and purple flames lit up in his open palm as if dancing on it, Fuuya looked astonished at what he was seeing right now.

To his amazement, his mouth opened and his eyes focused on the flames in the palm of the man's hand, the man turned his warm smile into a serious one on his face.

"Listen to this, Fuuya, I want you to use this to end everything."

The flames that danced in the palm of the man's hand earlier started to enlarge and then wrapped around Fuuya's body, absorbing into his body, Fuuya sensed the mana in his body more than before.

"What'sthis? Just now you transferred where into my body?"

"Yes, that's it. I want you to use it in one strike on that golem. If you fail just once, whichever in your body I have given you will vanish then and there."

Thinking and pondering for a moment over the man's words, Fuuya thought this was a truly dangerous consequence.

Had he been able to do it in one strike on the golem, it would have kept him free and safe heading to where the man in front of him, Regard Arthen, he was able to help him inside, he said, vice versa.

When Fuuya failed to launch his attack on the golem with the lightning body, there was a possibility that all the mana Regard had given him would disappear at once.

"alright. My time is more than enough to help and meet you."

"Tu-wait! Why did you come into my body? Shouldn't you be stuck somewhere without me and the people knowing?"

Regard's stalled footsteps kept Fuuya looking at his back in the distance.

Regard who was silent without looking back at Fuuya, he just looked up without Fuuya knowing what kind of face was installed by Regard, his loved ones now.

"That's because of me..."

Just as Regard was about to explain what he wanted to say to Fuuya, the entire place that he had originally been able to see was completely dark without any light.

"....."

Opening his eyes, Fuuya glanced around to ascertain what was really going on.

Was dream? No, I don't think it was a dream.

Realizing that his body still had a lot of mana, a smile could be seen on his lips. The confidence that appeared to fill him made Friya who was at his side surprised by Fuuya's determination implied behind her face and the look in her eyes, Friya could only smile at him.

"Let's start this fight, Goddamn Monster!"

Darting rapidly towards Thunro, Fuuya used [High Acceleration] to run as fast as lightning towards him. During the run towards Thunro, Fuuya used the [Fenrir Army] to deploy a number of troops from the Fenrir herd, a herd of Fenrir formed in transparent snow-white that moved first towards Thunro, biting, biting, tearing Thunro's body apart using his claws.

Not only did he deploy the herd of Fenrir, Fuuya who gave the [Fenrir Army] additional abilities, he added [White Aura] to them which caused them to be able to increase their high attack ability, speed, as well as defense, he added, all done for the sake of ending it without a gap for Thunro to survive.

Not forgetting to add the [Fenrir Army] using other abilities, a special Fenrir herd, the [Fenrir Special] Fuuya added into the other Fenrir herd.

[Fenrir Special] had the appearance of a herd of Fenrir present in the [Fenrir Army] that distinguished them was the color of their bodies. [Fenrir Special] used his body that came from [Fenrir Mode], a special ability of Fuuya who was able to create a special Fenrir herd that exceeded the herd Fenrir normally would, as he was, while the [Fenrir Army] was an ordinary Fenrir herd that had the same resistance, attacks, and movements as Fenrir in general.

"Rrraaauuugga!"

"Let's end this right now!"

By darting faster, the explosion and strong wind sounding that blew caused some trees, grass, gravel, shrubs to fly because the strength of the wind felt very strong.

Friya who had activated the defense on the five of them, he had quickly added a protective [Ultimate Barrier] in the form of a tube that wrapped around their body causing the wind not to make them bounce, he had quickly added the protective barrier, Friya was grateful it was on time.

•••••

The sun that looks down to the west indicates that the day has begun to afternoon.

"So it was really great."

"How can you do it, Fuuya?"

"That's because I met him."

Sasaki and Reita who heard Fuuya say about him through her words earlier, both of them were stunned in silence, thinking that she had come to help him.

"Could he be..."

"Yes." Yeah."

Friya who was leading the way in front stopped for a moment, making those at the back fall silent which made them wonder why Friya stopped continuing her footsteps.

"Regard Arthen, he was able to meet Fuuya was no coincidence."

"Yes, you're right."

"It must have something to do with his ability as a Necromancer."

"I agree."

Near Friya, Shilphonia thought so too.

Shilphonia and Friya, who understand how powerful and powerful Regard is, are convinced that it all happened because of the fate that brought Fuuya and Regard together. If it was just a mere coincidence it was impossible for the two of them to meet unexpectedly, that was what Shilphonia and Friya presented.

Especially when their fight was over which was carried using a cargo carriage, Fuuya who was lying helplessly did something to Regard who was returning Fuuya's soul, putting something like a spirit into his body made Fuuya wake up after a few seconds the spirit entered his body.

"Hey Friya, do they know about this?"

"I don't know how far they know it, but I have faith that the only one who knows it is the two of us..."

The two of them who were close to each other could not be heard by Reita, Fuuya, and Sasaki who were continuing their previously delayed journey.

The three girls behind him were having a busy chat at their conversation without noticing Shilphonia and Friya who were whispering without them knowing what they were talking about, both of them, the three of them thought that it was a secret talk concerning the personal affairs of the two girls in front of them so the three girls ignored it and thought it was natural to keep it a secret.

"And so, she, Sasaki, I'm sure she's known him for a long time."

"Yes, you're right."

In a moment, Shilphonia and Friya's eyes glanced at Sasaki, the two of them looking back for a moment which made Sasaki know they saw her, smiling with a confused expression on her face.

Why did they see me before?

Wondering in his heart, Sasaki was convinced that it might all have something to do with his previous master whom Fuuya talked about meeting him, Sasaki thought they were talking about that.

Although Sasaki did not know the topic of conversation that Shilphonia and Friya had, she was completely convinced that Fuuya's words had something to do with him.

As long as Sasaki ventured first, everything was known to her unexpectedly. The figure of the man who saved himself, gave him shelter and food, and gave him a job as an adventurer, he was a kind man.

His hospitality, his concern for others and different races, his cold tone, insensitivity, were traits Sasaki remembered from his memory of his master, Regard.

For Sasaki, Regard was like a savior whose purpose was to help her from the torment her previous employer required in following every slave she bought, a man Sasaki could not repay. But on the other hand, his fear of identity behind his attitude known to Sasaki, there was a faint darkness emitting aura from within his body.

The aura looked like sadness, despair, hatred, wrath, all Sasaki could feel thanks to her instincts as a Demi-human, that was what she saw as she ventured with her master.

I hope you're okay, Regard.

His heart that hopes that if his master is still alive, Sasaki wants to be useful for him because after all, Regard is the savior of his life that can not be reciprocated for his kindness and care for him, because after all, Regard is the savior of his life that can not be reciprocated for his services for his kindness and concern for him, Sasaki wanted to help him in the past.

It was him who in the past decided to settle in the Adventurers Guild, listening to all sorts of information provided through the talks of the other adventurers present in the Guild Hall, Sasaki did not want him to only repay one favor to his master.

Wait for me, Sir!

His determination is formed strong, Sasaki's desire to be able to save Regard is high. Sasaki, who does not care whether her life can pay for her master's wishes or not, only wants one thing that is useful to her master, Regard.

Whether it sounded like it was being exploited and manipulated by Regard or not, Sasaki did not care about it at all. What he cares about now is the mission to find out how far his master can survive and be okay, which makes Sasaki curious about the condition of Regard.
