BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95: *Title at the end*
95 95 - *Title at the end*
In front of him there was a dwarf with a black cloak looking at them with a deathly murderous look. Noah could understand why he was looking at the group.
After all, if it weren\'t for these Blessed, everything he had planned would have worked. He would have been able to kidnap the noble couple from the Gemturm kingdom, would have caused a major incident with the death of countless dwarves, and in addition to that, he might have possibly been able to climb the hierarchy of the kingdom, since to dare to make an attack like this, only another nobleman would have had the courage to do something at that level.
Not that Noah cared about this dwarf\'s plans; Noah was even slightly grateful to him. Because of that dwarf, Noah had cremated so many dwarven corpses that he was able to convert them into 6 stat points in Strength. So that dwarf in front of him was basically a sponsor of statistics for him. Although, that would not make Noah just forgive or help this dwarf. In the same way that Bruce\'s parents dying from a thug and that turning him into a superhero was something that helped the world of those comics a lot, Bruce still would not have wanted something similar to ever happen again.
Looking at the dwarf, Noah knew he was going to make a long, villainous speech, and based on the clothes he was wearing, Noah assumed he was a wizard of some kind, since only a wizard would wear a black cloak over his body when going to a battle, since a warrior wearing such a suit would only be asking for his own death.
When the dwarf opened his mouth to swear at the group of humans, Noah exploded in a tunnel of flame and instantly appeared behind the little dwarf, pressing the dagger to his throat, threatening to stick the dagger in that spot at any moment.
This surprised everyone who was there. The humans were prepared for an epic battle where some would even lose their lives to try to stop the dwarf who was possibly more powerful than the Boss that had almost killed everyone.
In the same way, the dwarf was also surprised, first of all by this human just appearing behind him so quickly without giving him time to do anything in response, not even giving his evil speech of how they would regret having prevented his plan, the great Glanil\'s plan, and that they would be very sorry after having been used as a sacrifice for the mighty god of darkness. But apparently he would no longer have the opportunity to make that speech, since with every little movement he made, that dagger brushed the skin of his neck and caused a lot of pain. Even more for him who was a magician and was not used to receiving so much pain; his low resistance to pain made it especially effective.
With everything under control, Noah finally began to interrogate the dwarf by asking questions in a very low voice that only the dwarf would be able to hear, while the dwarf responded promptly, afraid to let this human who had his life in the palm of his hand become furious and make the human kill him.
The dwarf was answering at a volume that everyone could hear. In the view of the other humans, it was as if Noah was just holding the dagger to the dwarf\'s throat while he said meaningless things in the dwarven tongue, and that was exactly what Noah wanted. Obviously, he was not hearing the dwarf speak in the language of the dwarves. For Noah, it was as if the dwarf were speaking in fluent English, so everything that was said was completely understood by Noah.
But Noah couldn\'t let the other Blessed know that he was understanding what the dwarf said, so as soon as the dwarf said everything he wanted him to say, Noah used the dagger handle to hit the back of the dwarf\'s head and he passed out.
Little Mufag ran to where Noah was and went to see how his parents were doing. Fortunately, the two were still alive, just lying there unconscious with some black marks of paint spread over their bodies. This was something Noah and Mufag already knew why, but Noah still couldn\'t say it out loud.
"What was he talking about?" Noah asked Mufag (even though he already knew the answer) while nodding his eyes at the Blessed Ones who were looking curiously at what just happened.
Mufag was very smart, so without Noah explaining yet again, he started retelling what the dwarf had said while performing with his hands and occasionally pointing at his parents lying on the floor, now clearly with a much more relaxed expression on his face since he no longer had to worry about his own parents, thinking that they could have died in that time.
After he recounted everything, Noah did as before and stood for a while with his hand on his chin, while the other Blessed Ones were as quiet as possible to let Noah process what Mufag had said and make a translation for them. At first, some of them had a little bit of a doubt about what Noah had told them before, whether it was really true or whether he was making it up, but when they saw over time that everything Noah said was really making sense with what they were seeing, even more when they saw Mufag\'s parents lying on the floor, they just accepted that Noah could actually read someone\'s body language that way and waited anxiously for what he would say and give as an explanation for what the dwarf said.
And just after two minutes, Noah had "understood" what Mufag was saying and explained it to the rest of the group.
Basically, this dwarf named Glanil (whom the Blessed did not think about how Noah discovered his name by body language) was a famous necromancer of the dwarven race. According to Mufag, necromancy had been banned from society for being a class that needed constant sacrifices, often even being of the same species, which made the class so hated and disliked by the other dwarves that no one wanted a necromancer around, causing the kingdom to ban that class and prohibit anyone from practicing necromancy in public again, or else that person would be hunted by royal guards and adventurers with a reward for their heads.
Glanil was obviously a necromancer, but he rarely used humans as a sacrifice; most of the time he just used monsters and animals for that. However, even though he was a "pure necromancer", he was hunted along with the other necromancers in the same way, as if he were a horrible monster that delighted in the misfortune of others, which he did not accept.
When Glanil found out that Mufag\'s father had been the main nobleman to propose this idea of ??"hunting for necromancers", he finally had a target to redirect his anger. Always having been hunted and humiliated like a monster, Glanil decided to make Mufag\'s father have that same feeling for his revenge. Since he knew that the chance of dying in the future being hunted y down was very high, Glanil decided to accept the very fate of death but to get Mufag\'s father to die with him.
Unfortunately for him, he did not imagine that a group of humans would appear and end all his plans. He had never even seen a human in person before, just learning of them through the internet, but since humans lived in very distant galaxies and humans who came out of that galaxy were rare, Glanil was slow to understand what race was the one that had invaded his train and messed with all his plans.
He had spent all the savings he had to buy this train and make the necessary modifications to make the plan work, even learning a powerful slavery rune to use on Mufag\'s parents, but all of this was in vain due to the interference of these humans who came out of nowhere. Glanil didn\'t even see them approaching through the camera system outside the train; he just saw them already inside the place killing all his summons.
In the end, it was very anti-climatic.
