I have a Synthesizer

Here, Klein, Becky, and he were all waiting in silence. Klein sat in meditation, keeping himself in the best possible fighting condition.

Becky, on the other hand, looked at him with some curiosity, wanting to see what was so magical about this man.

After a while, she finally couldn't resist her curiosity about Lilith and asked Klein.

"You're called Klein, right? I remember that name.

Why does Lilith listen to you? She's quite difficult to get along with, proud and aloof.

Are you and Lilith very close? Are you two a couple?

Why aren't you answering me? Don't you have any sense of chivalry?"

Annoyed, Klein opened his eyes and stared at Becky with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Doesn't your knight's code say that it's best not to disturb a mage when they're meditating?"

"You're a mage? We're teammates now, okay? I'm just relieving some of my stress so I can protect you later!"

Becky's eyes lit up slightly. She felt that Klein should be able to satisfy her curiosity.

"That guy has a very strange temper and is incredibly arrogant, not letting anyone get close. The guys in the knight department who want to get close to her are basically turned away."

Speaking of this, Klein straightened up slightly. He was still somewhat interested in Lilith's situation.

"You said Lilith is very arrogant? That she's difficult to approach?"

In Klein's impression, Lilith was somewhat lively, enthusiastic, and occasionally a bit silly. For example, the scene on the train where she asked him to move boxes was something he probably wouldn't forget in this lifetime.

The two of them were currently cooperating quite well, and Lilith had never shown any arrogant behavior in front of him. Their relationship was equal.

This feeling made Klein feel very comfortable interacting with Lilith, and their relationship was getting closer and closer.

However, the Lilith that Becky spoke of seemed to be a completely different person from the one he had encountered.

"Yeah, that guy is extremely arrogant. Even some second-tier teaching assistants can't control her. Her strength is too great.

She always looks unapproachable during class, and she's always cultivating, never really stopping.

She basically learns the basic martial techniques taught by the academy with just one glance. She's a true genius.

But I really didn't expect that this guy would even have the ability to Shadowmeld. That's a secret art of the Dark Crusaders.

It's too surprising that she has a friend like you."

Originally, Klein found it amusing to hear Becky criticizing Lilith, but by the end, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"What did you just say?"

Klein's suddenly changing expression made Becky feel a little bewildered.

"That she has a friend like you."

"The previous sentence."

"Shadowmeld is an ability of the Dark Crusaders. What's wrong?" Becky said timidly.

For some reason, Klein was giving off a sense of pressure at this moment.

"Isn't she using Stealth?" Klein confirmed again.

"No, Stealth is Stealth, and Shadowmeld is Shadowmeld. Shadowmeld is the ability to merge with shadows.

It's a high-end technique that lies between magic and battle qi.

Even in the Dark Crusaders, only very core members are qualified to learn it."

Klein clenched his fist.

"How do you know? Aren't you a Holy Knight?"

Becky immediately replied.

"Yes, that's because I'm a Holy Knight that I know more about the Dark Crusaders.

The Holy Knight's code clearly states that Holy Knights are not allowed to join the Dark Crusaders.

They act too extreme. Although they are an official force, their behavior is simply unacceptable to Holy Knights."

Klein lowered his head, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

"Only very core members are able to learn it, is that right?"

"Yes, this is a very advanced ability. People with low comprehension generally can't learn it."

Klein thought of the first time he and Lilith joined forces to kill the necromancer.

At that time, it should have been her first time using Shadowmeld. So it wasn't the Stealth he had always thought it was.

Klein forced a smile, forcibly suppressed the urge to continue asking, and changed the subject.

"Is there a problem with her having a friend like me?"

Becky glanced at Klein and hesitated for a moment before saying.

"A knight's partner doesn't have to be too handsome, but they should at least be strong, right? How can you handle it at night looking like that?"

?????

Are you sure you're a Holy Knight? Are Holy Knights now taking the lead in driving?

Just then, Lilith's voice came.

"You don't know if he's strong or not. Some things can't be judged by appearance, you know? Unless you're willing to try it yourself, it's best not to make casual comments!"

Two knights are racing!

Lilith's figure appeared from the aisle, the iron knife in her hand still dripping with blood.

"Let's go."

"Okay."

Klein followed, looking at Lilith's back.

"The Dark Crusaders?"

Lilith suddenly turned around and met Klein's gaze.

The tacit understanding that the two had developed over so long suddenly felt a little strange.

"Do you have something to say?"

"Lilith, are you hiding something from me?"

Klein's tone was a bit stiff. He could accept being concealed from, because he also had secrets, but the Dark Crusaders had clearly already investigated him before.

Immediately following that was the Skull Society's targeting, which was what he suspected and couldn't tolerate.

Lilith's eyes flickered.

"Yes, I'll tell you after this is over."

"Okay."

The two exchanged words concisely. Seeing the two who had already left, Becky hurriedly followed.

Klein also put aside the doubts in his heart and walked with Lilith into the depths of the cave.

Now was indeed not the time to dwell on Lilith's identity.

… …

A few minutes ago, on the side of the imprisoned academy students.

Hawkins suddenly heard screams from the end of the passage. It seemed that the Fireblade cultists at the entrance of the passage were fighting with someone.

The sound of slaughter rekindled hope in his heart. Could it be Becky?

Before long, Lilith's figure appeared in the passage.

"I really didn't expect it would be you."

"I can't take you out. Prepare yourselves. In ten minutes, restart the clearing mission. Charge straight to the hall. You go first."

Lilith's voice was very cold, with a sense of not allowing people to refuse.

"Rely on just a few of us? And you want us to go first?"

Athena was the first to stand up and question. Their condition was too poor, especially Brull, who had lost too much blood and whose battle qi was exhausted.

Her and Hawkins' magic power was also almost depleted. The brief recovery time just now was simply a drop in the bucket.

"If you stay here, you can only wait to die. If you want to live, take a gamble. This is your only chance."

After Lilith finished speaking, she left.

Hawkins pondered slightly before turning to the remaining people and saying.

"Everyone, prepare yourselves. She's right. If we stay here, we can only wait to die. If we want to live, we have to take a gamble."
