The Necromancers
Ch. 46.2:Facing Destiny (2)

Sasaki POV's

"Where is my lord? Is she okay or not?"

Along the way, I did not find Mr. Regard's whereabouts, which meant that I was in a different place from him. Let alone my Master's place, I don't even see anyone near me like my friends, maybe they were moved from one place to another.

With such a possibility, I'm sure it would be complicated to do something without me knowing. The problem is not only this place that feels lonely and quiet, there is a possibility that suddenly monsters or demons attack when I am careless, the end of my history.

Overall, I can't compare to anyone in a fight. My former body is weak, there is a possibility that I will not be as easily as before in the city that Hu-Machina had destroyed.

Even though I now have his body and abilities, I doubt that I can defeat Stahark easily. It could be that I who did reckless and reckless actions ended up killing myself for not being able to measure the ability and strength of the opponent.

"I hope you're okay, guys."

I should have thought more about my own condition, I was worried about their condition.

Well, how else, all this time I have always been alone with Mr. Regard, as well as other adventurers in the Adventurer Guild who were chatting together so I had never had a classmate with me, I am so grateful to have them.

Perhaps this can be said all thanks to Mr. Regard. Had I not been saved and taken away by him to live my life as usual, I would have ended up in the same restaurant as a slave resigned to my own destiny.

"Mist? Is there an enemy?"

Initiating to know exactly where the enemy was, I quickly raised the sword in both my hands, preparing for an unexpected attack that was likely to have originated from behind the fog.

Waiting for some time, the thick fog that covered my body and sight completely disappeared was replaced by a familiar place for me to know now.

"How did this happen?"

Seeing such a sad and frightening sight to remember, my feelings were filled with overflowing emotions that I had never felt before.

Shilphonia POVs

Shilphonia, are you okay? Be aware! Be aware!

My body feels numb when I find out what's around me.

The entire scene that I did not want to see before, now stretched wide in my vision. Starting from the destruction that occurred in the region where I served, the City of Elphoria, the comrades on duty are gone, a great dragon that rampaged by destroying any building, as well as killing those who were innocent, he said, the dragon flew easily.

"Why do I have to go through something like this?"

Had I not been assigned like this by them, perhaps I would have experienced a quiet and peaceful life in the Sky Palace without worry and anxiety over my condition.

Especially with the bad scenery presented before my eyes, the comrades who died while on duty, they were all not for the sake of protecting me from the attack of the ferocious dragon that we had difficulty breaking through its defense.

Shilphonia, awake! Don't get lured in by a sight like this!

I don't know if this is all because of me, I regret when I know the fact that they, the Elders in the Sky Palace were wrong in siding with the Humans earlier.

Lothawat! You will really be swallowed by the darkness if you do not come to your senses soon, Shilphonia!

I would love to enjoy those days before.

The day that I felt grateful to have friends in the Sky Palace, those who cared, respected and amazed at the tasks I undertook, they were junior angels who always spent time with me, she said, enjoying the time to read books, drink tea, and talk, I want that day back.

Cih, it's no use.

"....."

•••••

Surprised at what had happened to her, Shilphonia's gaze circled the entire room inside her body, thinking something was strange.

"Listen to this, Shilphonia, if you are swallowed by darkness once more, I will hate you completely."

"Stephani..."

Noting Stephani who looked at him with annoyance, crossing her hands on her chest, her right leg being knocked repeatedly made Shilphonia smile at her attitude.

"Thank you."

"Whisper! I'm doing this for you, okay?"

Walking closer to Shilphonia, Stephani who stopped her steps and stood by her side patted one of her shoulders, glanced towards Shilphonia. Shilphonia who was watching Stephani, she just fell silent while waiting for what she wanted to say to him.

"No matter what happens to you, I just want you to live in a bright light as a bearer of hope, while I myself will be in the shadow of darkness, suck all the darkness that's in you for my own strength and ability."

The words Stephani spoke really felt so deep that it made Shilphonia's pair of eyes teary, rushing down her cheeks, she wiped them away immediately.

"Thank you, Stephani. Thanks to you, I came back to my senses from the slump I felt before."

"Thank God. Otherwise, I might go berserk and take over your body if you have given up on everything you have."

"Yes, you're right."

The two of them who were now facing each other, hugged tightly.

For Stephani, Shilphonia bright as a glimmer of hope, she does not want Shilphonia to be swallowed by the darkness that makes her the same as Stephani. The only one allowed to swallow the darkness itself was Stephani so he would not let a person like Shilphonia do it, he purposely prevented it.

"Is it okay for you?"

"Yes. Don't worry, I'm sure I can deal with it more than you."

Shilphonia's gaze focused on Stephani's serious-looking expression, as well as her confident-looking eyes, Shilphonia gave a warm smile to her, nodding lightly as if answering her.

"I'm counting on you, Stephani."

"Yes." Yeah."

Elsewhere, Friya who was stunned in silence learned that the entire thick fog that had previously covered her body had turned into a frightening and sinister sight to behold.

Several elves lying on the surface of the ground that had been gone, pools of blood visible, as well as a rain of blood, before him was a figure who had terrorized the elves all this time, Stahark was silent without moving a single bit from where he was.

"....."

Looking around, there was no sign that reinforcements were coming, on the contrary, anyone who came to attack Stahark, they are all easily defeated by him mercilessly which makes both of Friya's hands clench strongly, resentful and resentful at what she sees.

Indeed Friya could not forget the cruelty committed by Stahark against the elves. Especially with the destruction that occurred in the past before Friya was born, Nek Ryadu who explained that many of the other elves who were trapped died to sacrifice himself, Friya believed it was a noble action.

But on the other hand, he who is faced with one choice can only reflect for a moment, thinking that this will be a problem if Friya follows the atmosphere around him.

Calm down and observe around.

It was all she remembered when Nek Ryadu, the teacher and elder of the elves who had nurtured Friya since childhood, she explained to her that while in a desperate condition that did not know whether there was a way to get out or not, she explained to him that while in a desperate condition that did not know if there was a way to get out, Nek Ryadu tells Friya to regulate her breathing, discard all other negative thoughts and feelings, and focus on how to understand the situation around her, that is an effective way that Friya often does when she is in a state of urgency.

"All right."

Successfully accumulating his composure, Friya's heart began to be relieved and there was no longer any grudge ignited in his heart nor his frustration over the Stahark he had done to the elves.

If he followed those negative emotions without knowing the consequences, there was a chance that Friya who would lose her mind would act recklessly by putting her strong killing lust before Stahark, she said, Friya didn't want him to die in vain in an unknown place like this.

Rather than die in a foreign place, Friya would rather die for the good that can bring peace and tranquility to her soul when she is gone, that is what she wants from that death.

He who collected a certain amount of mana in his body intended to try his best to be free from the disgusting sight to see.

"Now!"

After closing her eyes, Friya who opened her eyes made a crack all over which caused the scene to be nowhere to be seen again, now all Friya sees is a large, unknown room with a large tree in the middle of the room.

"Could this tree be the cause?"

Supposing that was the case, Friya hurriedly approached the large tree she saw, preparing to cut it down immediately. He who intended to cut it threw the magic [Windwheel Magic] in a large size towards the tree, strong gusts of wind blew in all directions making Friya who covered her gaze with one of her arms focus on seeing if it worked or not.

This....

Instead Friya was sure it would work, though, he was surprised that the tree was not an ordinary tree that could be cut using his magic but a special tree that was able to absorb the magic that Friya used earlier into the tree that made his attack that initially thought it works out not even.

"It's gonna be really troublesome."

It is possible that the tree will be active again showing the memories of the past in the form of regrets possessed by Friya, he did not know how to overcome the big tree he had to rub down quickly without difficulty.

Judging from the wind earlier, it was indeed effective. But unfortunately the effectiveness he thought was successful, it ended up failing when he knew the tree was absorbing its magic. Moreover, the magic that Friya used earlier, [Windwheel Magic] is magic that is in basic magic but with which in large numbers, he does it.

Reita POVs

"Sister, beware!"

Not listening to me, Brother Daffa who left me alone in the cave, he tried to fight some goblin monsters that entered the cave.

I didn't want that to happen to her so I intended to go after her. But I could not reach it, the distance between me and Daffa seemed to be away from each other to be destined not to be able to approach it.

"Stop!"

It's a lie, isn't it?

Sister Daffa... Why are you protecting me? Wh why?

Seeing Brother Daffa lying on the ground with some cuts from the sword slashes done by the three goblins, I could not bear to see him.

If I had not been saved by Sister Daffa, I might have been able to live with her without regrets like now. Even right now in front of me, Sister Daffa who looks exactly the same as she did in the past, she really still cares and cares for me, her own sister.

Though I had often intended to defend him from the harsh and ill treatment that the adults had done while he was working to hand over the material ores to them, Daffa stopped me and told me not to look for them.

"....."

I don't know why my heart hurts when I remember it.

Other than Kak Daffa, the figure I knew the other one also looked exactly like Kak Daffa, he was none other than Regard Arthen, the man who had the Necromancer class, a forbidden class that no one had, I believe that his daily life is quite difficult to live during his life.

"Wait for me, Brother Regard!"

Brushing aside the past shown, I walked slowly through the cave, seeing the many nesting goblins, intending to avenge Kak Daffa's death.

This time I won't lose control because I have the figure of a new brother, Kak Regard so it's safe for me to kill them immediately to be able to catch up to where Kak Regard is, that's my only goal.
