Chapter 91: Night Crystal
“It was… most likely created just recently.”
Senri said quietly.
Death Knights and the Undead have always been on hostile terms. The scales were tilted towards the side of the Death Knight for a long time, because they had the absolute authority to deal with the undead. One of the reasons for that is their probing ability. Death Knights can sense where the undead are by using only a small amount of power, even if they’re quite far away. This ability is the reason why Death Knight almost never let the target of their subjugation get away. Senri allowed Sable to escape because she prioritized my rescue and because unlike the original way the Order of Death Knights did things, she was alone.
That’s why it’s natural that Death Knights were wary of the ‘Mirage King’ who had the troublesome ability to block his presence.
“Your ‘Dark Stalker’ abilities and ‘The Stake King’s’ powers can also suppress the presence, but those are not perfect.”
But ‘the Mirage King’s’ blocking of presence was perfect. And the same could be said about the power of ‘Night Crystal’. In retrospect, the ‘Night Crystal’ is not a widely recognized item. Senri’s senior knights―― Neville and the co didn’t seem to be wary of the possibility that the presence could be hidden. It’s hard to think that the Death Knights would overlook the item that could overturn common sense for such a long time. Senri’s words make sense.
And, so far those two have been the only things to completely shut down the probing ability of the Order of Death Knights. It’s understandable for somebody to question the connection between them.
If it was discovered only recently, that crystal must be more than just a mineral. Now that I think back on it, it’s doubtful whether or not it even was a mineral in the first place. How did the Lord really get that crystal?… It’s really a pity that he hasn’t come out at all recently. I run on the highway like the wind. I have fur and I’m extremely resistant to the changes in temperature, so I’m fine. My back is fluffy so I’m sure Senri’s good too. I’m not lonely either. I might really get into letting people ride on me. I think I really do like this kind of thing.
“I wonder if it’ll be bad if somebody saw me.”
