At first, I thought it was just my imagination.
But after that, when I couldn't find the 'thread' in my heart no matter how hard I tried, I knew that the knight King had indeed sacrificed himself.
Even though I had already expected it when I asked him to take the rear but, I still found myself unable to accept it when I received this terrible news.
Although the Knight King wasn't the first undead I owned, he was the one who had stayed by my side the longest.
Not only was he the first powerful undead I owned, he was also the first undead I experinted with.
He was also the one who started it. When I was creating undead, I thought of fusing different species and powers...
When I was creating the lich assistant, Regulus, I used the Knight King to hunt all the materials.
Whether it was the little night goblin in the beginning, the swamp python, or the mountain goblin in the end.
I rode the knight King to hunt for each of the materials.
But now, he sacrificed himself.
He sacrificed himself in order to protect from the magister of light.
But I didn't have ti to stop and express my sadness for him.
Because I wasn't truly out of danger yet.
Even if the magister of light didn't chase after anymore, I knew that there were many dangers lurking in the forest near the battlefield of the gods.
If I wasn't careful, , the necromancer who didn't have any undead around him, would be in danger.
I had to quickly return to Regulus' side. He was now my only undead.
My current safety was completely dependent on him.
Only by running to his side would I be able to say that I was safe, and only then would I feel slightly safer.
After running for nearly an hour without daring to rest, I finally reached the Stone Mountain where Regulus had been placed.
"Kacha... Kacha..."
I panted heavily as I looked at Regulus, who was still standing there with a dull expression.
Suddenly, I turned around to look at the direction of the wooden house behind .
'Knight King, don't worry. I'll definitely find an opportunity to avenge you...'
I then looked at the sky and realized that it was almost dark.
This made frown.
I had been living here for almost a month.
Knowing that this place was close to the battlefield of the gods, there would be all kinds of dangerous animals at night. Even with Regulus protecting , it wouldn't be safe.
The loud roar I heard in the night a few days ago was proof of that.
Therefore, it wasn't a wise choice to spend the night outside.
However, I couldn't return to the small wooden house now. The light magister there definitely knew this and would definitely spend the night in the small wooden house today.
If I returned now, I would be walking into a trap and courting death.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, my heart started to burn with anxiety.
What should I do?
Should I gamble that there wouldn't be any danger and spend the night outside?
This thought flashed through my mind, but I imdiately rejected it.
I couldn't gamble with my life.
Looking at the surrounding terrain, I realized that it was only the gap between the rocks where I had been hiding when I had been eavesdropping could be used a place to spend the night.
Although it could only cover my head and not my tail.
The gap between the rocks? !
Looking at the stone crack in front of , I suddenly rembered sothing from before.
Sothing was wrong with Regulus' head. He was unable to store his magic power, so the power of the magic he cast gradually decreased.
Then, I brought the Knight King to a nearby Stone Mountain to search for magic crystals that could be used to replenish energy.
Then, I had a conflict with the mountain goblins on the Stone Mountain.
In the end, I was taught a lesson by the mountain goblin elites that appeared from the cracks in the mountain.
And that Stone Mountain, I rember, seed to be nearby.
It was less than half an hour's journey from here.
Moreover, according to the [Records of The Nolan Continent], mountain goblins were creatures that lived with a regular schedule.
They wouldn't usually sleep during the day or go out at night.
Therefore, the current Stone Mountain was very safe for .
Looking at the sky, I realized that it would be dark in about 20 minutes at most.
Hence, I hurriedly brought the only undead beside , Regulus and rushed towards the direction of the Stone Mountain.
I rushed at a slow pace without any rest. In the end, Regulus and I made it to the Stone Mountain before it was dark.
"Roar..."
"Roar..."
"Chirp..."
Standing at the edge of the Stone Mountain, I heard all kinds of cries. So of them were huge carnivores.
I felt lucky.
Luckily, I didn't choose to spend the night outside. Otherwise, I would have most likely entered the stomach of a ferocious beast.
Looking at the desolate Stone Mountain before , it was completely different from before to when the mountain was filled with densely packed mountain goblins. There was a world of difference.
I knew that this was because mountain goblins stayed in their lairs at night.
I didn't go to the crack where the goblin elites appeared.
Instead, I chose another entrance to the crack.
Then, I found a cave in the mountain that could only accommodate two people.
Lastly, in order to hide myself from the goblins, I even found a large stone to block the entrance of the leaving only a few holes for air to breathe through.
Only then did I start to relax.
