–PoV Yasmine–

“Hah, Huh, Huh”

I hid behind a tree. I’m currently being chased by a group of black-robed people. Previously, I was walking around the city because I was bored in the villa. After all, there was no one in the villa at that time. But then when I was in the city, I felt someone was watching me. It was really weird because other people shouldn’t be able to see me.

But I finally realized someone was following me from behind. When I saw who it was, it was a student from Mervbanis Academy. That man’s behavior was a little strange, and I felt a sense of danger coming from him.

Since I didn’t want to cause chaos in the city, I went to the forest to find out what the man really wanted.  When I arrived in the forest, I felt an uncomfortable feeling because it was very quiet here. Suddenly, a beam of black light came from within the forest. I quickly dodged it.

Before long, a group of people wearing robes appeared. They didn’t seem to be able to see me. But they held some kind of device in their hands.

“There’s no need to hide, we know where you are now,” A thin man said with a grin.

I feel my back shudder at the sight of his grin. I don’t know why, but this reminds me of an incident. The group started to surround me, and then cast a spell. I got scared and flew up to escape.

*Ding*

But then I hit an invisible wall because there was no other way I thought I would use my power after a long time of not using it. I waved my hand, moving as if I was dancing. Around me, purple light started to appear. Then manifestations of snake, crow, and wolf spirits appeared. I told them to destroy the invisible wall.

“Hiss,”

“Scree,”

“Howl,”

*BOOM, CRACK*

Cracks began to appear on the invisible wall. The robed group’s faces turned pale. After a few attacks, the invisible wall shattered. And the robed group vomited blood. The thin man who saw this had a displeased expression.

“Tch, you all are useless, even capturing a woman can’t be done. Let me handle this. “

After the thin man said that, many strange circles surrounded him. Then strange and scary creatures came out of the circle. They were heading towards me quickly. I got scared and flew away.

During my escape, I was hit by an attack from that strange monster. The thin man flew after me with a strange grin on his face. I felt more and more scared and tried to get as far away from him as possible.

‘I’m scared, Lute, help me’

Unknowingly, I asked Lute for help at the last moment. I then went into the forest and hid there. And right now I’m hiding behind a tree, trying not to make a sound.

“Hehehe, it’s useless for you to hide. I know where you are now,” The thin man’s voice was heard walking slowly towards me.

I flew up and let out a snake spirit to attack him. The man swiftly ordered the strange monsters around him to fight back against my snake spirit. The snake spirit was crushed into light particles after being caught by a strange monster and trampled by it. Then another monster came from behind me and attacked my back. I immediately turned around and crossed my arms against the attack. But the impact of the attack knocked me flying into a tree. I felt my body go limp after being hit earlier.

“Cough, Cough,”

“Hahahaha, we should have done this earlier. If I had known you were so weak, I wouldn’t have waited to catch you, ” The man laughed sinisterly.

Suddenly, a wave of water came from above, attacking that man. The man looked surprised and immediately covered his body with his monster. Next, Karyn appeared and slashed her fiery sword towards the monster protecting that man. But her attack only left a burn scar on the monster’s arm. Nylah and Leila appeared in front of me. They looked very wary of the thin man.

“Yasmine, are you there?” Leila asked.

“I’m here. How did you know I was here? “

“Lute told Shelly beforehand that you were in danger. He asked us to help you, “Leila said.

‘Lute knew I was in danger? No, that’s not the problem now, ‘

“Leila, we have to run away from that man. He is very dangerous. He also brought a group of people with him.”

As I said that, many robed people appeared from within the forest. Shelly and others, seeing this, furrowed their brows. But then a dark shadow flashed quickly and a group of people who had just appeared lost their heads one by one. Misti immediately arrived beside Shelly. She looked around as if looking for something.

“Is there a woman named Yasmine here?”

“You? I remember you as Princess Anastasia’s maid? ” Shelly looked surprised when she saw Misti’s arrival.

“That’s right. My master told me to save a girl named Yasmine here. He said that the girl couldn’t be seen, but I could hear her voice. So it shouldn’t be you. Is that girl safe? ” Misty asked.

‘Masters? What does this girl mean? Is she talking about Lute or Anastasia? ‘ Shelly was confused by Misti’s explanation.

“I’m here,” Yasmine said.

Misti looked surprised when she turned towards the voice, but she didn’t see anything there. Finally, she understood what her master had said earlier.

“Hehehehe… Hahahaha… This is amazing. How can there be so many girls here? I got a big harvest. ” The thin man suddenly laughed with a sinister face.

We all turned our heads to see the thin man and felt goosebumps, as an aura of darkness spread from the man’s body to the point that it almost covered the place. This place went dark, and there were strange sounds like someone asking for help. From that aura, there are also scary faces flying here and there.

“He’s a necromancer!? This is bad.” Misti’s face was filled with fear and disbelief.

Shelly and the others were also speechless. They felt their bodies shiver when they saw faces floating around them. What Yasmine said was true. This man was very dangerous. They had to run away from him.

“We have to run from here. That man is on a different level. I will call my young lady to send reinforcements here,” Misti said to Shelly and others with worried faces.

“Hahahaha, you think I’ll let it? It’s time for me to get serious and you all won’t be able to escape from me. ” The corners of that man’s lips and eyes curled into a very wide grin.. It was the most terrifying smile they had ever seen.
