Oliver’s voice was calm, but there was no mistaking the weight of his words.
“Necromancer…”
James froze, his pale face draining of color. His words faltered, caught in a moment of shock and disbelief.
“Necromancer?!” Deniel’s voice trembled, echoing James’s panic. “But… this is just a bandit hideout. How could they—?”
Both men had vastly underestimated the depth of the danger they were about to face. They had originally planned to deal with this small bandit camp on their own.

Necromancers.
The legends were well known. Dark, twisted figures who wielded forbidden magic with a malevolence beyond ordinary evil.
