Volume 2 Chapter 5 ACT.27 The Dark Night Mist Devours People (IV)
──But, Rize's worries, unfortunately, turned out to be unfounded.
A few hours after sunset, as the twilight began to take over, a change occurred around the two who were on patrol.
"──Senior, this is..."
"Yeah, looks like they're making their move already."
Suddenly, a thick night fog began to cover the area.
Seeing this phenomenon firsthand, Rai was convinced that this was the Reincarnator's ability.
"I heard from a friend in the Holy Church Heretic Hunter's Inquiry Division before. Night fog appears when air containing a lot of water cools down."
──Holy Church Heretic Hunter Inquiry Division.
Despite its ominous name, it's a department established to unravel heretics──Reincarnators and the phenomena existing in this world.
Most of the things researched there are what would be called science in the old world.
The new facts and technologies verified and revealed by the Heretic Hunter Inquiry Division are provided not only to Rai and the Purge Knights but also to the general public.
It was no exaggeration to say that they supported the cultural and technological development of this country.
Rai and Aslan, his deceased master, were on good terms with the Heretic Hunter Inquiry Division.
Because they knew that knowledge and information were also weapons.
In fact, there were several times they escaped a crisis thanks to the knowledge brought by the people from the Heretic Hunter Inquiry Division.
And here, that knowledge gave Rai confidence as well.
"When the sun shines during the day and the ground is heated, that heat is rapidly taken away at night, and the temperature drops drastically."
"Senior, if I remember correctly, the weather these past few days has been..."
"Cloudy, no sun. The air is holding water, but the conditions for night fog aren't met. ──In other words, this is the Reincarnator's ability."
At Rai's words, tension appeared on Rize's face.
But it was the same for Rai.
The two of them silently stood back-to-back, shields raised.
"The conditions are unfavorable. They can just ambush us at will."
"Does that mean we're so weak that we'll just be taken down that easily?"
"──No!"
It was at that moment.
Something was approaching Rai.
Sensing the presence, Rai instantly directed his shield towards it, thrusting it out as if to strike.
BAM!
"Ugh!"
Something collided with the shield, sending it flying with a forceful rebound.
From the unique sensation, Rai inferred that he had struck a living creature.
But at this moment, Rai felt a chill run down his spine.
The collision had caused Rai to slightly lose his balance.
"Rize, watch out. This one's a bit off!"
Although the Reincarnator's ability seemed random at first glance, recent discoveries had revealed patterns in some abilities.
For those who create minions instead of granting abilities to themselves, the performance of the minions is inversely proportional to the number created.
Also, if the minions have special abilities, their individual performance deteriorates.
In other words, when creating minions with special abilities, their might is limited to that of ordinary beasts like wolves.
But what about this time?
Despite having the special ability to hide in the night fog, it showed enough strength to disrupt Rai's posture with a simple charge.
That was a clear deviation from the discovered rules.
"Rize, stay alert. This won't be easy."
