Chapter 422: He
“Who are they sending?” Anya asked Leo, slightly taken aback.
She wasn’t sure if the person coming was going to be in the faction of the Right Guardian who was Leo’s master.
“They didn’t tell me who was coming. All they said is that they will send someone,” Leo ignorantly answered.
With all higher ups being so busy in the preparation, even he didn’t know who was going to be coming. Even he hoped that it was going to be someone from his faction so that things could become easier for him.
The entire Kiel Family had been wiped out, along with the Family Heads of other Major Families. It was a great loss, but also a great opportunity.
If they were careful, they could truly devour the families that had lost their leaders. However, it was impossible to do that alone. Even with the support of their families, it was hard.
Even though the other families had lost their leaders, they were like poisonous snakes. The more injured they were the more dangerous they could become.
To take the most advantage of the situation, he needed the help of someone from the Necromancer Tower. No matter how upset these families were, they weren’t going to go against the will of the Necromancer Tower.
In a time like this when a war with another continent could start at any moment, it might be the perfect opportunity for his family to unify all major families under it.
At that point, even Anya’s family couldn’t stand against them. Despite all his wishes, he knew that it all depended on the person who was going to be coming.
In the Necromancer Tower, a man dressed in dark clothes was rushing through the hallway.
His back was drenched in cold sweat as if
he had just returned after meeting death itself. Behind him, there was a corridor
which was filled with dark flames.
Just taking a single step inside these flames
could kill a person, but the man had
managed to return alive, as per the will of
the owner of those flames.
No matter how strong this man was, he
was meek and cowardly in front of the person that he had just met.
He carefully wipes the cold sweat off his forehead while rushing away.
“He
appears scarier every time I meet him,”
the man sighed. “If it wasn’t urgent, I never would’ve wanted to meet him. That damned lich! If he hadn’t died, it would have been his responsibility. I could have just relaxed as a Hall Leader, instead of this!”
His frustration was evident as he placed through the hallways.
“He isn’t even the Tower Master but still he
is so scary.” He clicked his tongue while shaking his head lightly.
He approached a room where the portals were established. While the portal at the Kiel Family Estate was already destroyed, he could only take one to the closest territory and fly from there. “The Holy Church couldn’t find a worse time to interfere with the Northern Continent. I hope it’s only a misconception of those brats. But if it is true, I might really
have to…”
He pushed the door to the room and
walked inside. However, the moment he stepped inside the room, his body completely froze.
He felt a pressure that made him feel like
his entire existence was going to be erased if he made even the slightest mistake. The person was slightly weaker than the
one he had met before, but it was clear that they could also kill him as easily as lifting their fingers.
In the dark room, he saw a vague silhouette
standing in the corner.
“You are…” His eyes widened, not expecting the person to be here.
The person placed a finger in front of their lips, “Shhh.”
The Hall Master quickly shut their mouth, swallowing the sentence that he was out to
utter next.
His eyes were in disbelief. He couldn’t understand why this person was here. For people like him, seeing even one of them
existences was unlikely, but he had met two of these godlike existences in the Necromancer Tower in a single day.
“I heard something really interesting
happened today?” A voice fell in the man’s ears, making his soul tremble.
Even though the other person hadn’t used
any special abilities, but he still felt like his soul was hurting when hearing their voice. “T-that is true. According to information, a Cardinal had attacked the meeting of the Major Family Heads taking place in the Kiel Family Territory. There are suspicions of the Demon Sect’s involvement as well.”
The man was extremely respectful while explaining. He wasn’t this respectful even in front of his father in the past as he was now. He didn’t even raise his head to look
at the figure of the person standing on the other side of the room.
“The Holy Church and the Demon Sect?” A
subtle smirk spread across the lips of the person. However, the Gall Master felt his soul getting even more injured, sensing the
killing intent within that charming voice.
“I don’t know how true it is. That’s why, ‘he’
has instructed me to go and investigate.”
The Hall Master felt like crying at this
point.
Everyone thought that there were only the left and right guardians in the Necromancer Tower who came after the Tower Master in strength. Not a single person outside the Necromancer Tower knew about the
existence of a third person, who was even
above the two Guardians. It was also the person who had instructed him.
“You don’t have to bother with it. I have a
lot of free time. As we have it, I was also thinking about going out for a walk. While
I’m out, I should handle this as well. Won’t you agree?” The person asked, but it was less of a question and more of a command. “But ‘he’ told me to…” The Hall Master tried speaking, only to close his mouth as he felt
an invisible force grab his neck, making him feel like he was going to die if he said even a single word more.
