The Necromancers
Ch. 4:Necromancer Training (1)

Darting like lightning, Regard with his powerful strength made the Demon King surprised at how powerful he was in hitting.

When Regard struck out a punch with his fists, the air blew strongly behind him, as well as the crack that had been seen on the footrest of Regard made the Demon King amazed at his prowess in using his strength.

Unfortunately, the Demon King thought it was all for nothing because Regard was controlled by darkness.

"Pathetic."

A large number of silver needles appeared on the ceiling above his head and shot towards Regard.

Regard who knows it dodges as much as possible and then retreats backwards.

"....."

Before being able to move further, his body suddenly felt heavy which made his expression look irritated and irritated.

"alright. The game is over."

Directing one of his arms to the front of Regard's face, he who was speechless in confusion over what the Demon King was going to do to him.

"Good sleep, son!"

Just when it was spoken by the Demon King, Regard fell unconscious on the surface of the ground.

The Regard POV

Ughhh....

Where'sisthis? Am I gone?

Looking around, I felt familiar with this place.

If I don't remember wrong....

Looking back on what happened to me, I tried to reflect on it.

As far as I know, I have been completely blinded by the negative emotions that popped up in my heart and mind. When I was filled with darkness, the only desire I wanted was revenge.

But why am I still in this place?

"....."

Paying attention to the two figures I knew that one of them, I recognized him, I got up and rushed over to him.

"How's it?"

"Good wait."

"really?"

"Yes, just a little more that you need to sharpen then you are able to master it."

"....."

Those who look here don't know what to do.

"Are you better?"

"Yes." Yeah."

I don't know who the figure next to Uncle Veru is, I can only assume he is an extraordinary figure.

His body could not be seen because of the black fog but only his clothes I could see now. Other than his unknown appearance, I felt this figure had an aura that intimidated anyone who saw and felt his presence.

"You feel it, son."

"Yes, that's it."

I don't know why I feel a little scared and worried about this strange figure.

"Don't worry, son. He's our partner so you don't have to be afraid."

While swinging his sword in front many times, Uncle Veru said that to me with the same smile. His fine-looking expression made me let go of the worry and fear of the figure standing next to him.

"Maybe I haven't introduced myself to you. I am the Demon King, you can call me by that name."

"Demon King!?"

Eh? Waita minute!

If he's a Demon King then that means he's here for a reason isn't it?

"....."

Taking a few steps back from him, I was afraid he would do something to me so I deliberately kept my distance.

"Haha. You're really interesting, son."

Finished laughing, he slowly walked over to me.

Before he could reach where I was, I retreated many times so that he could not reach my place.

Stay away from me! I don't want you to take me to your place!

Even though I said that from the bottom of my heart, I was unable to say it through my mouth.

It might be because I knew he was the figure of a Demon King so I hesitated to say it. Even if I say it, it will make my life short of the age I have.

"Just be free."

He suddenly came to a halt in the distance and disappeared in an instant.

Where's dia? Has he left already?

Looking around, I did not find its existence, instead, I only saw a vast land surface that was empty of no human or building.

"Generated, Son! I've reached you."

"....."

Near me, the figure of the Demon King held one of the shoulders and said that to me kindly.

I couldn't say anything, instead, I just kept quiet because I didn't think that he could go that fast without anyone knowing.

Could this be his power?

No wonder the Demon King has abilities and powers greater than any creature. Especially if he is in the highest position of a demon, I believe he is the strongest demon higher than the other demons in the demon territory.

"Okay, I'm giving up!"

Better follow his words than I should be killed and die a second time in this world, I don't want it to happen again.

"The wise decision."

Walking in front of me, he stopped while pointing his clothes at me. You could say he was looking at me.

Seen from her clothes facing towards me, I could only estimate that she was watching me for some reason. Whether or not he was truly trustworthy, I was still wary of him.

"Follow me, son!"

"Followed out? Where are we going?"

"Exercise. I want you to practice as a Necromancer."

"Necromancers?"

Stopping my footsteps, I was surprised to hear what he said.

Necromancers were a terrifying class to humans. Those with the Necromancer class would lose control of their bodies which made them into demons, monsters or even be able to kill themselves.

Imagining what my mother told me when I was a child, I felt that the burden I was carrying was too much for me.

This power...

I don't know if I'm happy or not, but I'm just not sure if I can master it or not, that's all I'm thinking about right now.

As far as I know, most of the old stories say no one can control the Necromancer class so I can be sure that all this is free if I can't control it.

But, on the other hand I do not want to become a demon or a monster which means I agree to the training that will be undertaken to become a Necromancer.

•••••

A few minutes have passed.

When Regard does so, he is forced to be controlled by darkness which causes him to lose control of his body. That was why every time Regard lost control of his body, he was required to fight the Demon King by thinking of him as the mastermind behind the destruction of the village and the disappearance of the inhabitants.

"Huh. huh..."

Sweat runs down Regard's body.

His body that feels heavy, his head that feels dizzy, and his breath that gasps make the condition of Regard is within its limits.

Every time he let out negative emotions from within him, he always looked exhausted which made his gaze vague.

Regard can't give up.

It was not that he was afraid that he would become weak, he simply did not want himself to become a demon nor a monster in the future.

That was why the exhausted-looking Regard tried to force himself on his body that had already reached its limit so that he could maintain himself as a human.

"We've done the training, son!"

"terminated him? But, i..."

Regard's body staggered forward ready to fall to the ground.

"You're tired so it's better to rest yourself first."

Before his body reached the ground, the Demon King held both of his shoulders, placing them on the ground slowly.

"All right."

Closing his eyes, Regard rested soundly on the ground.

Day after day, month after month, the exercise continued to be done many times.

About 3 months had passed, Regard was finally able to control the darkness from within himself. He no longer lost control of his body allowing him to control his strength and abilities as a Necromancer.

But instead, he was required to hunt monsters to be able to eat the blood and flesh of them.

The reason the Demon King told him to hunt monsters was that he wanted Regard to calm his turbulent emotions with only the blood from the monsters he would suck, and the monster meat he would consume.

[TL: Because of the Necromancer I took from the offering to the devil so I just wrote it down as blood for a ritual, and the offerings like flesh were the addition, something like that].

If Regard hadn't done it, he would have lost control of his body just like a month ago.

On a clear morning in the depths of the forest, both figures were running with all their might.

The Demon King who was in front of the lead ran away, turned his body and took out a Dark Chain directed at the Regard. Regard who knew it, dodged and floated in the air.

(Dark Chain, a chain of darkness that is able to be created through the element of darkness that is able to stop the movement of anyone targeted by the user)

His pair of Dark Wing wings activated which made Regard able to fly through the air for a very long time. Not taking advantage of the opportunity, Regard took out the Darkness Bow that he had launched into the ceiling.

(Dark Wing, a pair of black wings that appear in ordinary fashion without the need to use any mana but only a little darkness that needs to be used, it is able to make the user fly for a long time without any restrictions in using it)

(Darkness Bow, black bow capable of creating Dark Arrow, other dark abilities that can be used by the user Necromancer)

(Dark Arrow, a black arrow capable of turning the cycle of originally bright and sunny weather into dark and overcast, the arrow is able to rain down its enemy in a wide scope that has no limits according to the wishes of the user, the user, which can give the impact of a mild attack such as a scratch on the body of the opponent which slowly becomes a fatal wound if ignored)

The originally bright ceiling slowly darkened.

Shortly after the sky darkened, a rumble sounded. During the several times the rumbling sounded loud, torrential rain fell from the sky. The rain itself is a different rain than the usual rain.

The problem was not the rain of water, but the rain itself was a large amount of Dark Arrow which made the entire surface of the land turn black.

"Truly great, yet..."

Before the Dark Arrow in large numbers hit the Demon King's body, he had put up a shield around his body with a Special Cube that made it easy to walk in the rain.

"Sad. Not working ya."

Bouncing straight at him, in both of his hands the Darkness Bow had previously turned into a Black Sword that he would be ready to use to slash straight at the Demon King.

The Demon King who was watching him, smiled. He had expected that this would happen so he deliberately remained silent as if waiting for the arrival of Regard.

Could she....

Before being able to reach the Demon King's body, Regard immediately activated Infinity Spirit which made the aura around him turn purple. Around his body was a large number of skull heads surrounding him and floating in the air.

For a few seconds later, the skull head turned into an astonishing existence. The figure that had dark black eyes, the cloak that covered him was purple, and the purple aura that protected Regard, the, accompanied by both skull heads on both sides made the Regard ready to charge straight into the Demon King.

It seems that he is able to understand the real fight huh.

Unable to do anything, the Demon King immediately dodged.

But before he could avoid it, Regard with a sly smile set up some traps for him.

"It's...."

"Hehehe."

On the ground footing where the Demon King was, the ground shook and turned into a mound of earth. On the two lands that were at the side of the Demon King there was a darkness that bound both his hands and feet that kept his movements locked.

"It's all over."

"Yes, you're right."

Finished lunging towards the Demon King, a loud bang of the ground sounded accompanied by a huge light capable of making the forest crumble with a pitch-black color, and proceeding with a huge explosion made the place turn into a crater in an instant.

"Huh. huh..."

Struggled to the ground, Regard immediately restrained his body to remain standing using Dark Lance which was previously the Black Sword which he had converted into Dark Lance using his Change Weapon.

It's working?

Noting the conditions around him, Regard with a happy smile managed to overcome it easily.

"He's really great."

In the distance of the forest, the Demon King who noticed him smiled at the drastic changes that the Regard Arthen had.

As far as he knew, Regard was able to develop and grow that fast in just three months. Although his body was still unable to withstand the heavy weight due to his Infinity Spirit, but the Demon King remained proud of his development so far.

"What do you think, Demon King?"

"Not too bad."

Approaching Regard, the Demon King with one of his arms patted his hair and stroked it slowly and gently.

"Good job, son!"

"Yes, thank you."

•••••

"That's all I can tell you."

Hearing closely the story of Regard, Stephani and the long blonde girl are amazed at the rapid change of Regard than ordinary people.

"You're amazing, man."

"That's right. As far as I know, humans will not be able to withstand the abilities of the Necromancer class."

"Yes. Especially if they lose control make their bodies turn into demons or monsters."

"Honestly, I also still can not master some of the abilities that I have, for example like that. I simply cannot master it for a long time because it will burden my body."

Noticing both of his arms, Regard put on a sad expression on his face.

Sadness itself was not sadness due to his weak body but rather his self who was still unable to qualify in controlling [Infinity Spirit] without any time restrictions.

"I understand."

"alright. Then Stephani, I want you to come with her."

"What did you say!?"

"I want you to come with him so we can be close to each other."

"....."

Unable to understand the thought of the girl next to him, Stephani put on an expression of objection to his words earlier.

According to Stephani, Regard is strong and powerful. But, it was only limited to his admiration in observing his ability. If Regard loses control of her body, Stephani believes that she will be overwhelmed and troubled in dealing with it later.
