“No matter how much of a mistake you made, you are making ridiculous excuses.”
The gateway fortress in the northern mountains, called the Wailing Gorge, became a gathering place for barbarians.
And some warlocks from the assembly that supported the barbarians were also staying here.
“It’s true! “The dragon soldiers and bone dragons that suddenly appeared wiped out all the undead I had raised!”
“Dragon disease? Bone Dragon? “Did you have a dream about being on the battlefield, or did you go crazy from the shock of defeat?”
“The barbarians who were with him also watched it clearly. “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you check it right now?”
Quenton raised his voice as if he was frustrated.
The warlocks who were with him watched the conversation with interest, as it was not common for him, who was famous for being cool and calm, to get this heated.
Koma, the warlock of the Aika faction who was pushing Quenton, snorted.
“I already heard it. “Someone thought they were barbarians, so they kept saying nonsense about seeing God.”
“That god was the Bone Dragon I just mentioned. And, I don’t believe it, but there was also a ghoul that looked like it was made of a giant.”
“······Are your hair really okay?”
“It’s true!”
“no no. You, and no one else, should know because you are a necromancer. Do you really think that they are possible undead? Nothing else but dragons and giant ghouls? Yongahbyeong is at a ridiculous level. “If that’s true, who on earth is ministering to them?”
“I do not know either.”
As Quenton spoke with a stern look on his face, Koma spoke as if he was looking at him as well.
“Don’t you know most necromancers in this world? If you don’t know, then who knows? “If there is a necromancer capable of working with such undead, you shouldn’t at least know about it, right?”
“I’m guessing it might be Pycey Keller.”
“That return invoice? “Are you really thinking like that?”
Quenton couldn’t open his mouth due to Koma’s aggressive tone.
In fact, it was impossible to know if Paisi was working with such undead.
Although she was a neutral necromancer, she was also a warlock with the same roots.
It’s not that there was no interaction, and if she had that much power from the beginning, she would have created her own faction instead of being neutral.
‘Then who on earth are you…?’
Could it be that Harungel the Unchangeable, a necromancer known throughout history, is reincarnated?
Quenton could not keep his cool not only because he did not know the identity of his opponent, but also because of the deep sense of defeat that overtook his whole body.
It wasn’t a mistake.
The opponent’s undead is definitely a bone dragon.
However, Quenton did not have the confidence to turn the dragon’s corpse into an undead even if it was in front of him.
The feeling of defeat coming from that gap actually made him angry.
“I will go again.”
“what? In Borguillen?”
“okay.”
“Reinforcements have already arrived in Borgijen. Moreover, it was said that the Knights of the Sun also joined the reinforcements. “We should attack other places instead.”
“Shut up. Who are you to order me around? I am Morn Dwalski’s chief disciple! “If I’m going to attack Borgien, I’m going to attack it, but you and the like dare to stop me?”
“You lost your temper. do whatever you want. “But because of this failure, you will be penalized at the rally, so behave yourself well.”
Koma shook his head and left.
And the other warlocks who were watching the scene also laughed at Quenton’s seemingly lost mind and disappeared.
However, Quenton muttered without paying any attention to the reactions of those around him.
“Born Dragon… “Okay, if I just kill the magician and rob him, that’s it.”
In fact, it was almost impossible to steal a familiar that would disappear if the magician was killed.
However, Quenton believed that it would be possible with the items he obtained while dealing with his executioners, Mogul and Aslan.
“wait.”
Quenton’s face took on an eerie murderous look.

Phione was participating in an unexpected journey.
After receiving news from Marquis Claudia that Adrias was safe, he tried to go there, but he ended up going to Borgien, the frontline territory, along with the Knights of the Sun, whom he had somehow become involved with.
‘How did this happen?’
It was a situation where it could only be seen that there was really a devil involved.
The only good news is that Adrias is alive.
According to his letter, the enemy was not an Auror Master.
In fact, it only made sense for Adrias to be alive if the enemy wasn’t an Auror Master…
‘Is there something there?’
There was a little bit of an unclear corner.
Since it was not possible to pinpoint that part, it was just left as a question.
“Pione Ardi.”
Vivian Bellocan, whom he saw as soon as he arrived here, was calling to him.
“Yes, senior.”
“Tell me.”
I met her as soon as I arrived the day before and immediately asked for news about Adrias.
From asking whether he was with me, to whether I was injured or whether there were any problems, he kept asking me so many questions that I felt out of breath.
So, I was exhausted, so I left, saying I would talk to her the next day, but when I saw her waiting at the dinner table, I was shocked.
“I don’t know much about the current situation. As I briefly mentioned yesterday, I only heard that Senior Adrias was with Claudia and was okay.”
“how was it?”
“yes? What?”
“You kept following me. “I heard Adrias was active at Mayton.”
“Yes, I did. It was just plain awesome. “There is no need to say anything more.”

“ah······.”
This was all Phione had to say, as he was slightly suspicious that his activities in Mayton were done with information from the gathering.
She changed the topic, thinking that if she continued, she would only be asked questions about Adrias.
“Anyway, I heard on the way here that it was a huge problem here too?”
“huh. “It was a monster war.”
“Monster, monster war?”
Phione, who checked once again whether Vivian’s words were correct, was able to nod her head to Vivian’s next words.
“The huge undead helped. And the little undead too.”
“Actually, I couldn’t believe it when I heard it. “It’s not enough that the warlocks have shown themselves in earnest, so they’re fighting each other…”
“Do you still like Adrias?”
Phione was just about to change the topic, but Vivian’s sudden question made Phione sweat.
“Sure. I also saw my senior’s performance in person…”
“······okay. “Adrias is cool.”
Phione asked, looking at Vivian who was muttering resignedly, feeling curious.
“Do you like Vivian, too?”
“huh.”
Phione, who was rather surprised by the immediate answer, asked cautiously.
“I also said that I like Senior Adrias. Is that okay?”
“I can’t help it. “Because I can’t stop someone’s feelings just because I block them.”
Phione nodded at her words, which seemed to have liberated her from something.
“That’s right.”
“Besides, Adrias chose you over me.”
Although she looked expressionless, Phione could read the deep sadness in her eyes and muttered quietly.
“That too. “Senior Adrias chose me and took me with him.”
Phione was startled by the words that came out of her own mouth.
I had no intention of provoking Vivian, and the words that came out were something even I couldn’t understand.
“······huh.”
Vivian did not deny it, but nodded slowly and stood up.
“I’ve finished eating, so I’ll get up first.”
“Yes, senior. “Please come in.”
As Vivian left, looking somewhat sad, Phione, who was left alone, tilted her head.
‘Why did I do that?’
Words spoken as a defense mechanism.
As if he didn’t want to lose Adrias…
“No way.”
I shook my head in denial.
We had only been together for a few days.
Moreover, we never thought of each other as members of the opposite sex.
Phione finished her meal, thinking that she had just had a bad temper.
**
It had already been three days since we arrived in Claudia.
And in the meantime, I was very lucky to hear that Phione had left for Borgien, not where I was, and I was delighted.
“You’re lucky.”
Considering Phione, I was definitely lucky, but there was an unexpected and uninvited guest here.
“What do you mean by luck?”
Honen approached me, pretending to be friendly.
I’m sure this guy had some business to do, but it wasn’t right now…
“it’s nothing. “Have you eaten yet?”
“of course! I wake up early in the morning and warm up. Aren’t you too lazy than that? “I don’t know how you can be so lazy and get the title of monster.”
Mutu no Honen.
No, this man who would be called Immortal Hanes was a man who would later join the Zephyr Church and become the incarnation of Zephyr.
“Besides, this is the front line, so it’s quieter than I thought, so it’s boring. “Why don’t you spar with me anyway?”
I hesitated for a moment at Honen’s suggestion.
He is a powerful villain who will definitely become a problem in the future.
But is killing him now the right answer?
He is definitely a guest invited to Rodlen Academy and a mercenary who fights for the empire.
Maybe if I kill him, it won’t end like a normal thing.
‘but······.’
There weren’t many more opportunities.
Rather, meeting him here, who had not returned to his home country, could have been my last chance.
If he misses this opportunity, it is natural that he will become a powerful villain.
“Your complexion hasn’t been good lately, and it looks like you took a hit at Mayton. haha! Asking to spar with a weak person is not something a great person would do. “I will leave today.”
“no.”
I shook my head with a pale complexion because I had still summoned Nickel and the mercenary soldiers.
“Let’s do it. “Couple.”
“Oh oh? Are you sure it’s okay? “It looks like I’m going to lose without even using my strength.”
“Don’t worry, you can easily win.”
When I answered with a smile, a line was drawn on the corner of Honen’s mouth.
“okay? If so, I’m looking forward to it. For your information, I have never lost at Millennium Academy.”
“Is that so.”
“okay. So I’m really looking forward to seeing how strong the rumored monster is. Also, I heard that he played an active role in Mayton this time, so I hope that’s true.”
Honen’s words went in one ear and out the other.
I have already made up my mind.
I wasn’t the type of person to listen to a guy who was going to die soon.
‘He hasn’t become a villain yet…’
There was no remorse.
If there was such a thing in the first place, I would have to apologize to all the characters I have killed so far.
“Then shall we go to the training hall?”
“Of course.”
From now on, I will kill Honen, who will be the future villain.
