The Necromancers
Ch. 46:Facing Destiny

Returning to the previous incident where Regard was transferred to a foreign place, he saw something that made him surprised.

"It's..."

In front of him, the thick fog that closed his eyes thought that there were enemies around. Sensing it with [Mana Mastery] to find out whether there was an enemy or not from Friya's ability, and the ground footing around that came from Reita's ability, Regard felt absolutely no danger approaching him.

In the blink of an eye, the thick fog that filled his sight dissipated from before him which revealed a familiar thing to know.

The village has a lot of houses, tranquility and peace that can be heard from the atmosphere in it that feels familiar, as well as some; villagers, adventurers, and others, traders who stopped for a while enlivened the atmosphere in the village.

Is this an illusion?

Slowly walking down the path, Regard who knew where he was going stopped his footsteps upon arriving at his destination.

This...

In his vision, a boy carrying a bag on his back left the house, bidding farewell with his parents who were standing at the door waving at them and smiling, the boy left.

Next is...

True as Regard had expected, his entire vision was diverted into the forest like a memory of someone who had been killed by his power as a Necromancer, he said, Regard who had many times gained the memories of their past was not surprised at what he saw now.

Inside the forest, the boy was circling his gaze, wary of the unexpected things that were in the depths of the forest, he placed his bag on a tree, took out some small weapons for the size of his age, he then grabbed his bag and continued on his way.

Regard guessed that the boy was about to head to the mining cave that was in the depths of the forest. Moreover, the cave is a cave that is a sign that his bad memory in his first life has died, his memory can not forget the moments that occurred in his old life turned into what it is now.

"Ah... start changing again."

In the depths of the cave, the boy who was walking in the darkness fumbled around the area, trying his best to prevent himself from falling, he still increased his vigilance.

"....."

When there was someone pulling and closing his mouth, the boy could do nothing but surrender. The problem was that the boy's mind thought that if the one who did this behind the darkness was the one who had evil intentions towards him, he trembled in fear in silence without any confidence.

"Calm down, kid! I'm here to investigate this place."

"Investigate? Is something going on?"

Releasing his mouth that held the boy, a voice that sounded like a grown man, Regard who knew who the voice was thought that it was none other than Veru Sukijane, the savior and his life helper who had freed him from the side of darkness to the side of light.

"Based on the information I have, there are hordes of monsters inhabiting this cave."

"Monster!?"

Veru quickly closed Regard's mouth, the sound of footsteps near them, and an unknown voice that walked a moment near them and left as soon as the voice disappeared.

"Please lower your voice, son! If the monster came close to us, you know the consequences, right?"

"Yes, I understand."

Releasing the lock from Regard's body, Veru who invites him to come out immediately makes Regard wonder why he bothers to do this to her.

After successfully being at the entrance of the cave, the two of them walked towards a tree not far from the cave earlier to chat while resting for a while.

"You think you know why hordes of monsters inhabit this cave?"

"No, I don't know it at all."

"so yeah. I think it's better to tell you this."

Veru who explained about the horde of monsters that had been obtained from the royal knight who accidentally stopped at Elforia Village, Elphoria, he reported to the kingdom about the signs of the existence of monsters that existed in the depths of the cave near the forest of Elforia Village.

According to the report given by the royal knights who stopped by, some of the adventurers present in the Adventurers Guild were talking about this kindly. The problem is that the cave which was originally used as a material ore search field experienced strange events in it.

The strange incident was none other than the disappearance of another adventurer, one of the monsters he had seen in the darkness, as well as the danger that lurked from behind the darkness without their knowledge, all was what was said of the few adventurers from the royal knights who reported this message to the kingdom.

"Do you understand now?"

"That's weird. How could hordes of monsters inhabit this cave? To my knowledge, this cave had nothing in it that made it safe before."

"There may be a monster leading their army to inhabit the cave."

"Monster leader?"

"Yes. Based on several incidents that occurred over the past few months, there was a terrifying and sinister monster figure to look at, the monster itself was named as Stahark, a monster that exceeded the reasonable limits of any race."

Gurgling his own saliva, the completely silent Regard thought that Stahark was there, the monster that became their leader was not just any monster that Regard had encountered in this forest before when he did his job of adding material ores in the cave.

"Son, listen to me, quickly go to the house and tell them about this. Do you understand?"

"Yes. But I can't do it because I'm not sure they'll believe it or not, I hesitate to tell them."

"You're right."

The adult Regard who had been watching their conversation from a distance, thought that this would be the new determinant of his life that he had now.

"alright. You can stay here first while I'm going to Elphoria Village to find reinforcements. Can you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Is he coming or not?

While waiting to stare at the darkness inside the mouth of the creepy and terrifying cave, Regard hoped that the royal knight he met earlier would soon allow him to return to the village.

Regard was afraid that something unexpected had happened from inside the cave to him, which could have been if he would have died this time so easily without being able to do anything. Despite the weapons he was holding and in his bag, Regard remained doubtful whether it was useful in defeating the hordes of monsters that confronted him later or just the opposite, he would be food for them, imagining this already makes the feathers I'm sitting on the Regard stand in fear.

The Regard POV

Me who was in the past waiting until the afternoon arrived, Uncle Veru did not come with his reinforcements.

Silent and silent, though, that's what I'm afraid of what's in this forest and the cave not far from where I'm located shows a darkness that could have given rise to a scary and creepy monster in the form of Stahark coming near me and killing me.

Well, I can't be killed because I only see the past, I just don't know if I should keep this in mind when it happened to me in the past who didn't have anything to be used as strength and ability, I'm sick of seeing it all.

But since I cannot be free, I have no choice but to follow him.

Really deh. Boring and troublesome, that's what I feel from the shadow of the past right now.

"....."

From within the darkness of the cave, a huge monster figure appeared through his head, looking around to ascertain what was there, this was the beginning where I was gone.

Gawat, I have to run.

That was my feeling the first time I saw him.

Even though my instinct told me to run away from this place, my body was immovable, that was all I felt since I was a child when I saw that the huge head of the monster looked scary.

Slowly his fully-appearing figure approached me, standing in front of me and looking at me.

Maybe the one in this memory thinks that I'm going to die easily. Apart from me who has been reborn in a different world, getting a good family and care for me, as well as friendly socialization to my family, he said, I was afraid of what awaited me when this monster did something to me.

Well, I'm weak, it sucks, but that doesn't mean I hate it, I'm proud of what this past has shown me.

The stahark that opened its mouth wide, a brightly lit orange-colored light slowly enlarged from within its mouth in a spherical shape.

"Revelation, Son!"

As the big orange ball shot out like a laser dropping whatever hit it, I noticed both Uncle Veru and myself in the past, we both lay down hoping nothing happens to both of us.

"Haha. Truly a weak creature. You don't deserve to live, on the contrary, you deserve nothing."

One of his arms raised, Stahark who hit where the two of them were who managed to avoid it by getting up and running, a loud bang from the ground made the ground surface crack.

Well, I know that in terms of strength and ability, Stahark was indeed great from me in the past. But, whether I can really defeat him now or not, I'm sure I can do it.

"Quick go, son!"

"Yes." Yeah."

The reinforcements that Uncle Veru brought towards us brought some troops and horses that they rode, they quickly surrounded Stahark.

Stahark who realized that he was surrounded, he only displayed a smile on his face that I could understand they would be gone quickly and easily.

"Truly troublesome."

Around Stahark's massive body, all five purple-coloured magic circles were visible in great measure, shooting lasers at every besieging royal knight easily obliterating them mercilessly in the slightest.

Well, this is the beginning of despair. The despair between the royal knights brought by Uncle Veru and myself in the weak past, the two of us will die easily by him.

"It's time for you to disappear."

With an unexpected speed by Uncle Veru and myself in the past, Stahark who pulled out a large-sized sword in his right arm holding it aimed a horizontal slash towards the two of us.

"Revelation, Son!"

Looking back knowing that Stahark was about to attack me in the past, Uncle Veru tried to push me firmly, making me fall away from where he was which caused his body to split into two sides.

Blood flowed profusely on his body which was accompanied by a rain of blood. I saw him trembling in silence, thinking this was the end of my life in another world, I did not know what my fate would be like after death arrived.

"At the end of the day, living beings like you are weak beings."

Stahark's raised left hand took out several magic circles from the ceiling that appeared in the forest, and, from within the magic circle were several small needle shots that hit my body making me feel unbearable pain, Stahark quickly hit my body causing me to bounce, causing me to bounce, hit the ground surface many times and then fell silent in the prone position.

Will I die? It was my first thought when I knew death was imminent.

"Now it's time for you to be gone."

With the sword he lifted back up, it quickly slashed at my body many times with ease like a piece of meat, Stahark quickly returned into the cave, entering the darkness within.

The memory of the past is really sad for me, but behind it all I gained absolute strength and abilities that are immeasurable.

It does sound haughty, I'm sure that's the power and ability of a Necromancer. Unfortunately this world has no Necromancer class, there is a possibility that they will disappear easily, which is what makes the Necromancer class rare to encounter.
