Chapter 39

Chapter 39 – 10. Night of the Dead (3)

Serati, who came to her senses again, reaffirmed her resolve. Now, she had become a member of the necromancer’s household. She was in a position to obey any evil order. What order would Karnak give to her subordinate? The first order was frankly a bit embarrassing.

“Take your pick, Serati. Which one is the right choice?”

Was it because he made her into his circle? Karnak’s tone had changed. Serati, who was hesitant, asked quietly.

“Of course, we have to save Mr. Alius and Mr. Riltain, don’t we?”

She didn’t know why that would be a problem to worry about. Did he even think about abandoning them?

“Are you saying it’s okay to resort to evil tricks to save your comrades?”

“Of course, it is not a good choice. But even though there is a way, we can’t abandon your comrades, can we?”

In the first place, Serati was also a person that accepted necromancy to get her arms back. If she was evil, she wasn’t so tightly blocked that she shuddered unconditionally. She was a personality that could compromise with the world to some extent.

“If someone finds out that you’re a necromancer, Master Karnak, you’ll also be in danger, so it’s understandable to avoid it, but...... Isn’t it right enough to take such a risk to save your companions?”

Karnak and Barros shook their heads as if they had realized.

“I see.”

“If the purpose is right, the means can be vicious.”

“It’s okay to do bad things for good things, right? We’ve been living right.”

“That’s right.”

Serati was taken aback.

“No, I didn’t say that...”

However, it seemed that the two had already come to their own conclusions. Standing up from his seat, Karnak spoke lively.

“Okay, I’m going to use necromancy in earnest after a long time.”

“A lot of people will die, but it’s all to save our comrades.”

“Since they’re bad guys anyway, wouldn’t it be okay to die?”

“I see? It’s nice that there’s no pressure.”

Serati stuttered.

“Oh no, that’s...”

What was that feeling? They were able to rescue their captured comrades, Alius and Riltain. And it was a good thing. That was obviously a good thing, right?

“But why do I feel like I’ve done something irreversible?”

Untimely fights were taking place all over the city. A fight broke out among Ranfeld’s gang members, who searched the city in pairs of two or three.

“You bastard! After all, you’re after me!”

“What, what are you talking about?”

“Who do you think will win?”

“You are the one who intends to deal with me with this excuse!”

A mission to search the city in the middle of the night when you couldn’t sleep. As with most dirty things, the higher-ups didn’t meddle in these things. Most of the troops currently searching the city were either low-ranking members of the Ranfeld organization or those who had been brought in from outside after the family’s fall.

Those who risked their lives fighting each other forcibly became on the same side, so he couldn’t find it even if he washed his eyes and looked for camaraderie. Even the slightest misunderstanding could light up his eyes and cause him to die. It was inevitable that the screams would follow.

“Aaaagh!”

“Gagging!”

Karnak, who was hiding in the darkness of the alley and watching the situation, smiled.

“It’s eating well.”

Serati, who was hiding together, was dumbfounded.

“My God, it’s a matter of life and death, so you draw a knife that easily?”

“If this is a normal city, Serati is right.”

But this was Trist City, a place where security was self-sufficient.

“We’ve seen it with our own eyes that we usually draw knives all the time, right? From their point of view, this isn’t a very uncommon situation.”

To divide the enemy, Karnak did not use much force. There was no command power for that, and there was no need for it.

“There’s a mountain of kindling sticks piled up, so do you really need to fire a fireball? If you put just one spark, it’ll burn brightly.”

Just moved the tip of the sword slightly with magic power. And it left a short hallucination in the ear.

“Are there only two left?”

“Revenge!”

“The opportunity has come.”

This was enough. Even with this level, those who were usually full of distrust easily drew their swords and died easily.

“Aaaagh!”

“Kuuk, this, this dog......”

“Ah!”

Terrified, Serati shuddered, “Oh my god.......”

It was not even a huge method. It was a minor hallucination, and only a minor misunderstanding was thrown. But people are dying in dozens...

She was breathing a sigh of relief. Karnak’s tactics only targeted Ranfeld’s gang members and not the public.

“So... isn’t that a horrible person?”

On the other hand, Barros had a very disapproving expression.

“There are too few corpses.”

Dozens of people died throughout the city.

“What command corps do you make with this?”

No matter how much life was in the middle of the day, simple tricks like that only worked for some. To be honest, more guys didn’t get over it.

“It’s magic!”

“The wizard is bewitching us!”

Those who noticed it came to their senses and began to search the surroundings. Besides, not all searchers were in pairs of two or three. Quite a lot of people run around in groups of ten or so. They couldn’t use this tactic themselves.

“What are they going to do?”

Karnak was unconcerned.

“Could this be all?”

It was only the stage of sowing the seeds.

“There are other ways.”
