Chapter 406: Eren’s affinity with death
Leo came out of his thoughts when his shoulder clashed against another person’s shoulder. Frowning, he raised his head and noticed a young man next to him, who was walking with a young girl.
The girl’s attire was covered with dirt, but still, the Kiel Family’s symbol was clearly visible. She was part of the Kiel Family.
Leo simply assumed that Eren was also a part of the Kiel Family, even though his clothes didn’t carry even the slightest of symbolism of the Kiel Family.
“Sorry, I didn’t watch where I was going,” Eren casually told Leo, walking past him without wasting any time on him.
Leo watched Eren’s distant back, frowning. Normally, it was almost impossible for an ordinary person to get close to him, even if he wasn’t paying attention.
Just the aura of death around his body was enough to make ordinary people freeze in fear when they came close to him. So how was this man able to get so close that their shoulders bumped?
“Don’t waste any time on these insignificant people. If you want to kill him,
just do it fast so we can discuss more important things,” Anya told Leo who was momentarily observing Eren.
If she was the one who was touched by Eren, she would have destroyed him already, ripping his flesh off his body. As Leo was the recipient, she gave him that opportunity.
“How interesting… It seems that he can’t even feel it. He seems to have a good affinity with death.”
Leo couldn’t even think that Eren was
stronger than him, or even a threat. Even
the Kiel Family Head couldn’t threaten him, let alone a servant of the family.
Despite that, it was undeniable that Eren had managed to get close to him. Even when Eren left, it was as if he couldn’t even feel the slightest suppression from his aura of death.
There were only two reasons for something like this to happen. The first reason was that the other person had an aura which was even stronger than his aura, and even more supreme.
That was just impossible in his eyes. His aura was inherited from the Guardian of the Necromancer Tower. The only person in the Northern Continent with a purer aura was the Necromancer Tower Master.
He didn’t think Eren had an aura as pure as the Necromancer Tower Master. After all, there were only three more people who were on the same level as the
Necromancer Tower Master.
All three of those people were women,
each living in their own continent. Moreover, as per the treaty of the
Overlords, none of them could personally step foot inside the Northern Continent.
For Leo, only the second possibility made sense. It was that Eren had an extreme affinity with the aura of death. It was the most essential trait for selection in the Necromancer Tower.
Even he was selected by the Right Guardian because his affinity with death
was strong. Eren’s affinity felt even
stronger.
For a brief moment, greed flashed in his eyes. If he could bring Eren back to the Necromancer Tower with him, and introduce him to the right Guardian, he was certainly going to be praised by his
master.
Not only that, he might even receive a junior brother. With the two of them, the left guardian couldn’t keep the same level of influence on the Necromancer Tower.
He watched Eren disappear into the Kiel Family’s Mansion with the girl accompanying him. There remained a smile on his lips that was hidden from Anya.
He was glad that Anya hadn’t noticed how
special Eren was. If he didn’t have to worry about the other Continents’ potential attack, he would have rushed to Eren right
away.
“You don’t have to worry about my matters.
I don’t want to kill him,” he told Anya,
turning his back on the Kiel Family’s Mansion.
Before she could wonder why he was being
merciful towards Eren, he explained, “If
there is going to be a war with the other Continents, we would need these cannon fodders. There is no point in killing them.” Appearing carefree, he walked away from the Mansion and changed the topic back to the matters of the other Continents.
“Also, before deciding on anything, shall we
go see the Warship of the Demon Sect?” he asked Anya, raising his hand.
From the endless shadow that had been
following him, the shadowy beast jumped out again. Leo jumped higher, landing on the back of the shadow beast.
Anya felt like something was wrong with Leo’s explanation. Was he really letting an insignificant person live because of the
war?
Even though she found it hard to believe, she couldn’t find anything particularly wrong with his explanation either. After all,
Eren had looked quite ordinary in her eyes.
She didn’t know that Eren had used the Aura Controlling Method to perfectly hide all his auras, including the Holy Aura that
the people of the North Continent were so sensitive about.
In the eyes of others, he was like an
ordinary young man who was only good
enough to be a servant and nothing more.
“Fine.” She didn’t think much about it and
raised her hand.
Clouds in the sky split apart while an
undead dragon came flying down, his
entire body being covered in what felt like
the
black flames. Instead of being warm, flames were freezing cold. Anya landed on the back of the undead
dragon. The two heirs rushed towards the coordinates where the Warship had crashed as per the words of the Kiel Family
Patriarch.
Even though the family patriarch had
confirmed it, they couldn’t believe it entirely. Both of them wanted to confirm
such a significant thing with their own
eyes.
While the undead dragon was flying away, the Kiel Family Patriarch was observing through a window while protecting the meeting room.
“It seems like they won’t be disturbing master anytime soon.” He smiled, watching the two annoying heirs leave the city. “Now, there is nothing for my master to
worry about.”
