`Why did it have to be now of all times...´ Danzel cursed internally as he walked towards the group of knights.

"Krgggghh!" Skull Claw who felt her lieges aura, risen up and growled towards the knights while she started to become bigger.

Seeing the three dark green flames staring at them, the knights pulled their swords and pointed them towards Skull Claw. But internally, they were quite afraid of her.

"Skull Claw, it´s alright, I will deal with those "things"..." Danzel said with his cold voice.

The leader among the knights who was also the oldest knight here couldn´t help but frown at them being referred to as "things".

He was about to complain at Necromancer\'s use of words, but once Danzel stood in front of him it was as if a cat bit his tongue.

Not only was Danzel letting out a terrifying aura, but together with his black armor which made him look quite ominous, and the fact that Danzel was 2.53 meters high, he towered those guys!

Most of the knights were on the taller side around 1.83 to 1.95 meters. But only now did they realize the height difference between them.

"What did you mean by that?" Danzel asked with a voice that brought chills down the spins of the knights.

The knights though didn´t refuse to give in to the pressure.

"It´s exactly as I said! Mercenaries Abdiel! Not only did your undead bring forth many casualties among the Ioratal Dynasty, but you continue to use your vile magic to control our comrades even in death! Such an arrangement I can´t accept!" The leader of the knights yelled while glaring back at Danzel.

Hearing what they had to say, Danzel\'s ethereal dark green eyes flared up.

`Are those guys such idiots?´

That was the first thing that came to Danzel\'s mind.

Of course, Danzel acknowledges that the knight had a point.

If Danzel didn´t give Skull Claw the command to spread her mist to the battlefield, then there would have been fewer casualties than are now as the mist essentially blinded the knights and lead them to their doom against the arcanic mutants.

Not only that, but Skull Claw was also using the skill [Death Howl] which affected the knight\'s mental state.

It could also be argued that the Draugr´s placement on the battlefield didn´t favor the knights at all. If he commanded his undead currently and had used them as meatshields for the knights, although more of his undead would die, there would be fewer casualties among the knights.

But Danzel suspected that the knight leader was talking more about the first two points.

The thought that puzzled him the most was how those guys got the nerve to come and complain to him.

He was the one responsible for killing the most enemies and shutting down the portals, hence stopping the enemy\'s reinforcements from coming.

Not only that, but his undead played a huge role in taking the mutant\'s attention away from the knights.

Essentially if he wasn´t there, everyone dying here was the most likely outcome.

What puzzled him the most though was how those guys got the balls to go against a 3rd-tier expert who reached the peak.

`Isn´t he afraid of dying?´ Danzel thought for a moment before he noticed the look of the other mercenaries\' group.

They looked at the knight dissatisfied and even the elven archers were complaining out loud with the other three.

"Just because we are mercenaries they think we are inferior to them! If it weren´t for the money I would even draw my bow and~"

Though they were quite far away from them, Danzel was still able to hear Sarah´s complaints with the hearing of the 3rd-tier.

That was when he understood where those knights\' confidence came from.

`They look down on me because of my status...´

Once he figured that out, he truly found it...

"Stupid." Danzel whispered to himself loud enough for the knight leader to hear.

"W-What did you just say!?" The knighted asked backed with an angered tone.

Ignoring the old knight, Danzel turned to look towards the one magic caster who was taking the role of commander.

The one who he was supposed to protect, was the son of the duke, Wilhelm Ionarres.

Meeting each other\'s gaze, it was obvious that the noble was aware of what was going on.

`Aren´t you going to step in?´ Danzel thought internally as he gazed at Wilhelm.

To his surprise, Wilhelm simply turned around and seemed to ignore the whole situation, as if telling him to deal with it.

It seemed like he didn´t want to take any responsibility at all.

From a commander\'s standpoint, something like this was foolish as letting such behavior continue would undoubtedly create internal conflict with his troops.

But from a noble standpoint, it was the right choice.

Helping Danzel, who was using Necromancy could be turned into a scandal that could be used against him.

For someone who wanted to steal the heir position from his unworthy brother, he couldn´t effort being in part of such a scandal.

And after seeing Danzel\'s strength, he was sure that the knights could do nothing against him even if they wanted to.

So he chose to let things go their natural course.

`So you are going to be a bystander, huh?´ Danzel though.

"Hey! Why aren´t you responding! I said-"

"I heard you loud and clear," Danzel said with his cold voice while looking down at the old knight.

"So? What do you want from me?"

Pointing at the undead who patrolled the surroundings, the old knight said.

"We want you to release our comrades from your spell and let them go back to their rest!"

Looking at the undead that the old knight was pointing to, Danzel\'s next words shocked him.

"What if I tell you that I don´t want to?" Danzel said before faintly sensing someone familiar watching him.

"H-Huh?"

Hearing what he said, the old knight together with the others was slightly stunned at such a response.

"If a mere mercenary doesn´t let our fallen comrades who fought with bravery to final rest. Then I and the other knights would be forced to use force against you-"

"Is that so?" Danzel didn´t let him finish his sentence.

With a swift movement of his hand, Danzel draw his long sword out of its sheath and swung it with the speed that none of the knights could react.

*Fsiiin!

Before any of them realized what just happend, the old knight was decapitated in an instant! His flying head as much as his body began to let out his still warm blood.

[You received 15 000 XP]

Ignoring the notification, Danzel looked down on the other knights and let his killing intent suffocate them.

"I am fine with fighting everyone here present." Danzel said with his ice-cold voice.

Realizing what just happend, the knights yelled furiously.

"You crazy!?"

"Traitor of Ioratal!"

"Damn mercenary!"

Many of the knights cursed at him many and rushed at him with their weapons in hand.

Danzel of course reacted in kind.

Everyone who came close to him was immediately cut down by his long sword.

The knights couldn´t even react and many didn´t know when they were cut down.

Seeing the situation escalating for the worse, both Wilhelm and the mercenaries were shocked.

"What are you all doing!? Stop this farce immediately!" Wilhelm yelled with a pale face.

`Dammit! How did things escalate to this point!´ He cursed internally.

The worse that he expected was that Abdiel would give a beating to all those knights so that they realize their place. But he never expected him to raise his blade and start to kill the knights as if they were vegetables!

If he knew that such things will occur, he would even step in and stopped those knights!

Who would have thought that Abdiel would have such a short temper!

The knights who heard Wilhelms command created distance between the mad necromancer. Each had their weapons drawn and pointed to Danzel.

The Nature Daggers mercenaries also walked close to the knights, them also being wary of the necromancer\'s next move.

But in the next moment, all undead that was sent to patrol the surroundings came back and walked behind Danzel.

Their dark green flames look at the living with hostility.

In the middle of this group were a total of 10 corpses of the knights.

"Mercenaries Abdiel...what is all of this supposed to mean?" Wilhelm said with a heavy tone.

The death of the knights could have been prevented.

He didn´t care for their lives, but because their deaths could have been prevented, as the commander of the knights, he would be put responsible.

Considering that Abdiel comes from a mercenary group and that most members are of the 4th-tier and also that he was sent by his highness to be his bodyguard, he couldn´t just put the whole blame on him.

Though the easiest method would be in saying that he betrayed the Dynasty, that would risk having bad blood with the Deathfull Skulls group, a powerhouse that decided to side with the Dynasty.

The deal with this group was extremely important to Dynasty which lacked the force to fight back against the two kingdoms. And if he was the reason why the deal went south, the chances of him becoming the heir of his house, even with his highness\'s support, would become impossible.

While Wilhelm was thinking of hundreds of scenarios that could go wrong, the dark knight shrugged his shoulders.

"As you should be aware of, you knights resorted to using force. For this reason, I was forced to defend myself." he said in his cold voice.

Wilhelm was about to say something but was swiftly interrupted by the appearance of a beautiful dark skin woman.

"I even return with spoils of war!" The figure being Vanessa, she yelled out loud before going towards the middle of the group. Her suppose spoils of war were a total of 3 heads of some well-known 3rd-tier magic caster that were on the battlefield.

Looking at the corpse of the knights on the ground, she decided to throw the heads at them before walking to Danzel while patting her two hands together as if wanting to remove the none existent dust.

"Damn, I was expecting to see you beating those guys. But I didn´t expect you to kill them. Hehe, how cruel of you Abdiel." Vanessa said while walking beside Danzel.

"So the presence that I felt a moment ago was you, huh?" Danzel said while looking at Vanessa.

Once he started talking with the knights before, he faintly sense a figure behind him watching, knowing that it was Vanessa.

Since she was watching everything happening, he decided to be bold and kill those idiots.

Wilhelm who released that Vanessa was a witness to what just happend, cursed internally.
