–PoV Lute–
Arriving at the mine, I immediately went inside and looked for Natalia. When I found her, she seemed to be mining with her strange machine. Without thinking, I pulled her hand, which startled her.
“Hey, what are you doing? I’m mining right now. “
“We need your help now. We must return as soon as possible!!”
“Hah? What do you mean? “
“Stop talking, I’ll explain later,” I said and pulled her hand away.
“I understand you need my help, but stop pulling my hand.”
Natalia withdrew her hand in annoyance. She was filled with confusion from being summoned by me while mining. Taking a deep breath to calm myself down, I looked at her seriously.
“Right now, something bad is happening near the city. We should head back right now.”
“W-what? Back right now? Have you gone mad? The distance from this village to the city takes one day. Even if you drive my vehicle, that’s only reduced the time by half a day, and you’re saying you want to go back right now? What we have is that we will be late getting there. “
“I know that, but no matter what happens, I have to go back. Yasmine is in danger. If I don’t help her soon, I’m afraid something bad will happen,” I said with a worried face, holding her shoulder.
‘Yasmine? Who’s that? Is it one of his women? ‘
Natalia saw the look of great concern on Lute’s face. It seemed that Yasmine was someone who was very important to her, to the point that he acted like that. Somehow, she felt she had to help Lute at this time.
“I see, I’ll help you. We can get there in no time,” Natalia said, annoyed.
“Re-really? But how? ” I said happily.
When I say this, Natalia’s face is filled with pain. She looks back at her back. There you can see the mana crystal that she just mined. But she knew it wouldn’t be enough for fuel. She had to use up all the mana crystals she had mined all day.
“My vehicle can teleport us directly to the workshop. But that would eat up an awful lot of mana crystals. I’ll help you, but remember you’ll have to pay this back later! ” Natalia pointed at me angrily.
“Alright, I’ll reply to this later,” I nodded at her.
“That’s good. Let’s go back now,”
After Natalia said that, two of us ran out of the mine.

–PoV Yasmine–
“Hahahahaha,”
“Ugh,”
The necromancer laughed sinisterly. He strangled Misti with his happy face. Shelly and others who were badly injured stared at the necromancer with fear and anger. It’s a scary sight to hear lots of voices crying for help in this place.
With trembling hands, I took out a wolf spirit and a crow spirit to attack him. The necromancer glared at two spirits. He then threw Misti and attacked two spirits with his black aura, turning them into particles of light.
“Ack!”
Misti was thrown until she crashed into a tree and vomited blood from her mouth. Misti looked at the necromancer with a blurry vision, blood flowing from her head to her eyes. Her vision turning red, she painstakingly took out Seezingcal to call for reinforcements to her young lady.
But it was too late, Misti fainted after receiving too many wounds. Shelly rushed towards Misti to save her.
I tried to fight that Necromancer with all my might. I summoned a purple humanoid spirit monster with spiked armor behind me.
“Hoho, you still have other abilities,” That necromancer smiled.
I bit my lower lip in frustration. I ordered the spirit monster to attack the necromancer. The necromancer just smiled and called out to a strange monster like a tiger, but that monster had many eyes.
My spirit monster punched the head of the strange monster, and its head broke into meat paste. The necromancer opened his eyes, looking surprised. He finally understood why they needed that woman. That woman’s special body is amazing. She had abilities beyond her own.
‘That woman’s special body makes her spirit abilities so strong. If we get this woman, I believe we will control the Soul Realm very soon. ‘
Excitedly, he smiled and took out a staff formed from the bones and skulls of a monster. The skull’s two eyes shone with a red light. A black aura gathered around the staff, and the light in the skull’s eyes shone even brighter. Soon, a black mist gathered around the Necromancer, and the mist began to form a humanoid creature with the head of a monster and horns like a bull.
“Since I can’t linger here, I’ll end this battle here.”
“Yasmine ran away from here; we’ll stop him from catching you,” Leila, who was standing beside me, said.
“No, that’s not going to happen. I can’t possibly leave you all,” I said tearfully.
‘How can it be like this? Is this all my fault? I just want someone I can consider family and who can see me. But when I got it, why did it end like this? Is it because I’m too weak?’
I feel so hurt in my heart. Nothing goes the way I want it to. Holding my chest, I stared at the necromancer with anger and vengeance. I gathered all my strength into my spirit monster. The spirit monster roared and grew bigger and bigger.
The necromancer, seeing this, smiled. His black monster is headed towards my spirit monster. Two monsters attacked each other, causing a strong wind to blow around them. My spirit monster punched the black monster’s head, but the black monster caught the attack with its right hand. Then his left hand clenched with a black aura and punched towards the stomach of my spirit monster.
*BOOM*
My spirit monster exploded just like that from that attack. I looked at this in disbelief. But then the impact of my monster spirit exploding made me vomit blood.
“Cough, cough,”
“Even though you have great spirit abilities, you are still too weak compared to me,” Necromancer said sarcastically.
“We’re still here. We’re not leaving Yasmine to you,” Karyn shouted.
Leila, Karyn, and Nylah leaped to attack the necromancer. The necromancer saw this with an annoyed face.
“Just a bunch of stupid, annoying women. Uggred, attack them all.”
“GROAAR,”
The black monster screamed, then he stamped his feet on the ground. An explosion occurred which created a strong wind, blowing them all away. I was thrown a few meters away.. When I raised my gaze again, a crater was visible there and the trees had fallen from the explosion earlier.
