Transmigrated as a Wrong Character in a Sorcerer World

'They are close, and it looks like they are ready to start the operation.' Klaus thought. Curiosity radiated his mind, but the truth was that he wasn't planning on sticking around to find out.

Still, he still had something to do.

He looked at the place where they were investigating; several people were there. Ronan looked like he would explode angrily at any moment, like Leferum, although the latter could control himself better.

After investigating for so long, the fact that they found nothing left a sour taste in their mouths. The rest of the subordinates looked at the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

They all knew that this mission, which was destined to be a success, had failed miserably because of themselves. The only thing they could do was wait for the moment when their leaders decided to make their moves against them.

Perhaps it was Klaus' presence that gave Ronan pause.

'The weakness of these guys is very noticeable if you start to get to know them a bit. Maybe Leferum is not so affected because he seems to belong to a different side than Ronan. Still, the loss of the mission, the key, and all that Ronan had invested in this is a big loss for him that exposed his weakness: He is powerful and capable, but his capabilities are limited because his subordinates are useless.' Klaus thought.

A wonderful but risky plan formed in his mind when he realized this.

He suddenly smiled.

"Looks like something interesting." He said, drawing attention to himself.

"What is it, Mr. Will?" Ronan asked carefully, not wanting to reveal his anger in front of a potential subordinate.

"I just sensed the presence of 2 Cursed Class sorcerers, and they seem to have Nithim on top of them." He revealed, causing the whole scene to go into shock.

"W-What?!"

"Are you serious!?" Various shouts came from one side to the other.

Klaus smiled slyly. "That's right, but one of them is as powerful as me, and they're close. Looks like we found the mine of riches we've been looking for."

His words were incredibly refreshing to them, and they immediately perked up and began asking him about their direction. Still, Klaus was sincere this time.

"It could be a trap, you know? I didn't sense them until just now. Maybe now they already have the Nithim in hand, and that's why I can sense them."

Ronan looked at him strangely. "What do you suggest?" he asked, but Klaus shook his head sideways.

"I can only give two suggestions. First, we'll go there and look for the Nithim."

"And the second?" Ronan asked after nodding.

"We stand down. If it's a trap, I won't care about any of you; I want to make that clear."

Ronan and Leferum nodded. Having nothing to do with your contractors after whatever needs to happen happens is the way a mercenary operates, so they didn't find it strange that 'Will' acted like that.

Still, it lowered Klaus' status in Ronan's mind, though it was of little consequence.

He nodded without hesitation. "Nithim is not a mineral you can refuse if it comes to your door, Mr. Will. You should know it is the most expensive one in this world, and its cost is so exorbitant that no one can turn a blind eye. Come on, which way is it?" he asked.

Klaus kept his gaze on him before looking at Leferum, who agreed and not to mention the rest of the subordinates. Some would even rather die than be alone with Ronan now that they had failed the mission. Besides, if they could grab even a small part of a piece of Nithim, they would be rich.

So they all agreed.

Klaus smiled inwardly. 'Well, greed is the best way to make mistakes.'

He then nodded.

"That being the case, then let's go. I'll take you to the site. I just wanted you to keep the possibility in mind."

"Let's go." Ronan looked around at his surroundings. "Try to keep a fence, and let's go like this. Since it's something proposed by Mr. Will, he must have his reasons for making that suggestion, and we should respect it. Let's keep the alert level at maximum."

Immediately, they all got ready and did exactly as they were told.

So, they all started to walk to that place.

Klaus intentionally made it a bit long; in the meantime, he talked a few times with Ronan.

At this moment, he realized an important issue.

Maybe at night, he could not train to become strong, but if he trained to increase his understanding of the cursed energy, wouldn't it be a kind of strengthening? While he had thought about it before, he hadn't paid more attention because he didn't think it was that important. But at this moment, he realized he had a serious problem.

All of his senses on this night to get to the right place relied on his vision, smell, and hearing. But, if he read his ability correctly, it mentioned that he could use the cursed energy for almost anything.

'While the ability doesn't say so explicitly, technically I should technically be able to 'feel' the cursed energy on all four sides.' He thought.

While he could see the cursed energy, seeing and feeling it was different. He wanted to use the cursed energy as a radar to know where the members of Nithim Twice were, even across the distance.

If he could do that, it would be a major improvement for future missions and for his own understanding of the world.

'I seem to have something to train at night. I suppose I have more, but I don't know and haven't experienced enough to know. It seems that being patient is key to everything, even here.' Klaus smiled slightly.

But, while directing everyone present to the place where he thought he felt, he moved his hand slightly into the distance. No one noticed his movement because they were too tense, but from his hand came a small, imperceptible bomb of cursed energy.

It flew before their sight and exploded in a place in the sky. No one noticed it. Not many people can see cursed energy, and in this group, no one could.

He did that same thing three more times before he stopped doing it.

And when he stopped doing it, it's because he stopped, making everyone stop, too.

"There's something." He whispered.

"What is it? Where?" Ronan asked, unable to help but look in the direction where Klaus was looking. He immediately sensed it, too.

"...Mister Ronan, I think it's a trap." Klaus said and looked back.

"And we're stuck." He whispered. Ronan's smiling countenance was wiped away at this instant; he had noticed it, too.

He wanted to smile because this meant there was a lot of Nithim around. Only Nithim Twice could get him into a situation like this without noticing, but he had a huge problem.

'We're away from my territory, and these bastards I brought seem useless today.' Ronan took a deep breath, not taking his eyes off the front.

His mind worked quickly on a plan, but he felt they would be disadvantaged. He is also a member of Nithim. He knows very well what the requirements are to enter that exalted organization, and it is thanks to that that he knows that if he doesn't get help from outside or if Will isn't powerful enough to fight one of the Second Phase, then they are lost.

'If they did it so carefully that we only realized the trap when we fell into it, one of the leaders must be in on it and must be a leader absolutely trusted by the Great Leader. That being the case, there must be a few Sorcerers participating.' He immediately recalled the rules of Nithim Twice.

One of its rules specifies that not just any sorcerer can join the organization. He must pass various tests of confidence and strength, with the minimum to enter being the Primary Level of the Power Scale. Only Klaus had been able to enter before reaching that level, and it was a matter of discussion when they found out that someone planned to give a millionaire contract to a person like him.

Now, in this country where there are only Primary Level and Strong Level Sorcerers, having only Sorcerers at that level is impressive and even more so because they all have Nithim, which they use to enhance their abilities greatly and also as a weapon.

On the same level, it is practically impossible for an organization to stand up to Nithim because they will never be on the same level as they thought; Nithim will always be one step ahead.

And that's what they are facing this time.

'The situation is dangerous.' He immediately summoned his soft ring and ordered his subordinates to be on guard.

Leferum and the rest of the hired sorcerers understood that the mission had advanced to a limit impossible to reverse, so they quickly drew their weapons or soft rings.

The only one who did not seem to be on alert was Klaus, who waited patiently, looking up from the nearby houses.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At that moment, several people began appearing in those places, one after the other. There were more than 20 of them. All of them were armed, but some stood out above the rest, being so powerful that even Klaus was a little intimidated by them.

The most peculiar thing about them was the clothing they wore.

It was a garb that made Ronan's heart go up in his throat, and he almost choked on his own saliva.

'The Royal Executioners!?' His mind oozed, and his legs shook for a brief moment.
