Chapter 34: On the Move
“The Death Knights are capable of sensing the negative energy emitted by the undead. The range can be increased if we focus, but it’s usually not very wide nor is the accuracy very high. That’s why… if we keep a low profile and don’t stay put in one place, there is a good chance we won’t get caught.”
Another day came to an end. As usual, I unearthed myself from the ground, greeted Senri, who was waiting for me, and exchanged information as we prepared to leave.
The knowledge I gleaned from Senri was priceless. The books in the Lord’s library were written by humans and had no information regarding the abilities of Death Knights.
I suppose it is not common knowledge. The Lord might have been privy to it, but he did not bother to share with me.
You need to know your enemy in order to protect yourself. And I was dangerously ignorant.
Maybe we should have conversed this way from the very beginning.
Now with the blood lust having calmed down after receiving a bit of Senri’s blood, I realized just how close I came to being consumed by madness .
Had I been sane, I would never have told Senri that I was going to rob Roux’s grave, and I would have known that it was not a distance I could cover on foot and make it back before the sun rose.
Unbeknownst to myself, I had gradually lost my mind. Senri’s kindness saved me, but I was in a really precarious situation.
