The Necromancers
Ch. 37.5: We Meet Again

The two men stared at each other. The views of those who find out each other about the advantages and disadvantages that exist in their enemies really do not move or speak in the slightest about what happened to them.

Both of them charged forward without reducing their speed in the slightest.

A man holding a silver sword gave off a silvery aura in his sword light then transformed some of the shining light into the four sword blades behind him that floated up. In contrast to the silver sword man, the white-haired man wielded a black sword that let out mist. The black fog that surrounded turned into a figure of himself that amounted to three people who were ready to charge directly.

Each shadow that resembled her contained a pitch-black aura surrounding her that was coated with a purplish light outside of her.

"Slow!"

Trang!

Several times the slashes were done by the man with the silver sword without the slightest gap. As much as possible the man with white hair leaned his body forward, sideways and several times lowered his head in order to quickly anticipate the various attacks from the silver sword man's slashes.

"Weak!"

Before being able to move around in the direction of his sword, the man with the silver sword, Veru was startled by the rapidly exploding air waves almost making him bounce.

"Sad."

"Hows it? Are you surprised by my new abilities?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Strengthening his legs, a pink colored aura emanated from his entire body. The silver-colored sword that was previously in the air and floated was directed towards the white-haired man, Regard by several times.

Before the original Regard could move, some shadows could deflect it many times making the barrage of light swords fall down and dim at its rays.

He's really great.

Clenching his sword tightly, the pink light grew brighter which caused the area around to turn into a blaze within a wide range for Regard to know.

"But you will not be able to fight in my area of power, Arthen."

Around Regard, a barrage of invisible fire swords slashed at him countless times on his body making scratches and blood flow visible to Veru.

Unable to do anything, Regard could only remain silent continuously as he was torn apart by an endless barrage of slashes.

"End is over, Arhen!"

Pulling the fingers on his arm, Veru who intended to end with his strongest ability [Buster Blade:Unlimited Slash] began to do.

[Buster Blade:Unlimited Slash] that turned into thread many times could scrape his body and cause blood to spurt from the scratches that resulted from the thread hitting Regard's body making him endure his pain.

After turning into thread, when pulled by Veru turned into an invisible slash in large quantities that contained fire elements in it caused Regard's body to be burned.

"It's a shame, Arhen."

Seeing Regard's body that had been completely burned to ashes lying on the surface made Veru sure this was the end.

No matter whether Regard was strong or not, as long as he was off guard and did nothing, Veru would win, at least that was what he thought.

"You're really great, Uncle."

Jumping from the distant trees and darting at high speed using [High Acceleration], Regard was at Veru's side staring intently at him.

"But, are you able to survive this attack?"

"....."

The ground suddenly shook violently causing a collapse making the two of them enter into the deepest layer on the ground surface.

"Now!"

Removing some crystals from behind Regard's back, he quickly aimed and threw him one bright red crystal.

The crystals slowly crack and spread with the lava inside causing a large volcanic area on the surface before they fall.

"I hope you can survive that, Uncle."

Taking out wings from his back, Regard could only watch Veru who within a few seconds was ready to touch the boiling lava and die.

"Kuh...."

Using his other abilities, Veru activated [Wind Blade] which was able to make a sword made of light towards him that floated a large size capable of being stepped on.

"It's a shame you can't kill me."

"Yes, you're right."

Chuckling and laughing, Regard heartlessly began throwing some crystals at him.

The snow-blue colored crystal made the atmosphere around it turn into numerous ice crystals which formed [Ice Lance] darting rapidly towards Veru. The light green colored crystal that broke made a huge whirlwind, a [Storm] that was hard to avoid. The blue-colored crystal that caused the [Tsunami Wave] to fall nonstop created a powerful wave of tsunami from the river water.

And the last one is a white crystal that dazzles the eyes making people who see it will be blind for a while without being able to see it, [Silver Binding].

"....."

Here's finally.

Without being able to do anything, Veru who fell to the surface of the [Tsunami Wave] was swayed by the huge waves that hit his body. Some of the [Ice Lance] that hit his body left him scratched and bleeding, as well as frozen. Then a huge whirlwind capable of tearing apart his skin and flesh left him unable to do anything other than surrender and surrender to his destiny.

Finished doing all and looking at it, Regard quickly descended to the bottom after the ability disappeared in an instant.

Ughhhh...

Unable to endure the hunger and thirst for flesh and blood, he took his storage from [Dark Dimension] making him sit on the surface and eat some raw meat and blood.

•••••

In the middle of the forest, everyone gathered in one place.

"Are you sure that our enemy is Veru Sukijane?"

"Yes, more or less so."

"Hmmm..."

Pondering for a moment over what was really going on at this moment, Shilphonia, Friya, and Reita were completely clueless over his sudden presence and arrival that had suddenly become enemies to them.

Based on the report given by Sasaki earlier, they received word that Veru was the enemy faced by Regard. Whether he is being controlled or swallowed by the darkness within him, Sasaki only knows that Veru is fighting him right now.

"He won't win against Regard."

"Yes, I agree."

Shifting his gaze and nodding at the words of Friya and Reita, Shilphonia was convinced it was the indisputable truth.

Regard is a bigger threat to defeat. No matter who the enemy and the opponent were, if he was ready to decide to eliminate and annihilate someone, he would not hesitate to do so or delay it.

That was what came to Shilphonia's mind as long as she managed to understand Regard's actions.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Wait!"

Before they make a move, Friya who suddenly tells them to stop makes everyone wonder about what she is doing.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there something going on?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Turning his gaze towards Reita and Fuuya, Friya confidently tried to make sure it was directly on them.

"Do you two feel it?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"They're fighting each other."

Shocked at the words of Reita and Fuuya, Shilphonia and Sasaki immediately ran towards Regard.

The two of them who were not worried about Regard's condition were more towards Veru who was afraid that he would be obliterated without rest by Regard's abomination towards him.

Not to rule out the possibility that in the past Shilphonia was almost killed because Stephani became his enemy, Shilphonia believes Veru will also fate like him.

In contrast to Shilphonia's thinking, Sasaki was convinced that her master would kill anyone who threatened her and her survival mercilessly as Hu-Machina had done to her before.

"It's..."

"Impossible..."

Unable to say anything at the sight they were seeing, the two knees on each of them fell weakly helplessly while laughing in disbelief.

"Shilph, Sasaki!"

"It's a lie, isn't it?"

"Sir..."

In front of them was a white-haired man who quickly wiped out the person they knew before without the slightest remnant, except for the blood that had been shed and the battle that was still evident.

His red eyes looked at them as if intimidating everyone present to where they were making everyone unable to move but remained silent without speaking.

"Pathetic."

Finished saying that, his red-colored eyes returned to their original state without appearing intimidating to those who were watching him.

"What's really going on?"

"Maybe you have finished Sukijane?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Turning his gaze back, Regard was convinced it was not a difficult thing to eliminate someone nearby from the face of the earth.

Although it was easy to do, his heart still felt doubtful and indecisive after what he did in eliminating the person who gave a precious life as a human being first.

"Let's go."

"Go?"

"Yes. We're back in town to finish the mission first."

Not saying anything about his thoughts to them, Regard walked first leading the way in front of those who followed him from behind without asking anything of Regard.

For Shilphonia, Friya and Reita are heavy on what Regard thinks now, especially Shilphonia.

According to Shilphonia, Regard is seen carrying a heavy burden that he should not carry right now. Killing people who have been given life and rights as human beings, Regard actually retaliated with death and destruction without the slightest remnant.

I hope he's okay.

Although on a calm surface, the inner Shilphonia churned anxiously and worried over the condition of Regard later.

Whether he would be swallowed by the darkness or not, he was afraid that his life-saving would turn into a demonic figure that swallowed his human rights all along.

Brother Regard...

Not only Shilphonia, Reita as her half-sister felt anxious and worried about her condition.

At one point, Regard was easily frustrated and desperate more than they were feeling now. As happened to him long ago when saving and giving Fuuya life, waiting for Sasaki's presence, both were done by Regard wholeheartedly without being able to be bothered by them.

I hope you're calm in nature there, Uncle.

Convincing himself that Veru, the Uncle who had given life to him as a human, smiles at what Regard did to him in order to end his suffering.

When Regard finished him without rest, he had seen a resigned smile for his efforts by Regard. Not only that, the sadness that can be seen clearly through his view made Regard convinced that it was his decision to let him end his life full of suffering.

•••••

The moon is so bright at night. The stars that decorate the night line up with dazzling light making the atmosphere of the night feel more beautiful and beautiful to see.

"[Soul Return]."

A white-colored light floated from the surface of the ground which then turned into a white wisp that circled the Regard's wrist.

Maybe this is a little overdone, but at least enough to do.

Believing himself to do his next tryout, Regard immediately activated a large number of magic circles, [Curse of The Death] which resulted in the entire soul coming from the magic circle started to wander out and filled the white wisp in his palm into a larger size.

"All right."

Activating the [Infinity Spirit], the purple spirit and figure emanating from the skull turned into a black figure shrouded in purple robes could be seen along the green plains.

Stepping on the ground many times with one right foot, the layer of soil that came out formed into a person who then transformed into the appearance of the man that Regard was known for thanks to [Change Material] in an instant.

"It's probably gonna be pretty horrible and scary. But what's possible, as long as I can know and speak clearly with him, I might be able to figure out the real thing."

Finished saying that to himself, Regard struck the belly of the puppet that came from the ground that managed to turn into flesh, blood, and skin like a human.

I need you to get back up a second time, Uncle.

Finished saying that, signs began to appear on his palm which turned into an ancient line that slowly spread throughout his body and vanished after a while later.

Done it.

Leaving her body asleep, Regard quickly changed her appearance to that of a long-haired brunette girl wearing reading glasses and regular clothes that made her look like a city dweller.
