Chapter 425: Gods or not?
Eren had already noticed that Leo and Anya weren’t friendly with each other. Although they weren’t extremely hostile to each other openly, their internal equations had long become clear for Eren thanks to the options.
If the options wanted him to use one of them to kill the other, it meant that there was a high possibility that they did want to kill each other in the first place. They just needed a little push.
Eren didn’t want to make them kill each other since that was only going to create more complications for him. However, he could definitely use that enmity as a form of shield.
It was also why he didn’t directly attack Anya, waiting for Leo to interfere. His plan had almost failed when the Undead Dragon came for him, but in the end he had succeeded. His bet had paid off.
“Leo, what do you think you are doing?! Do you really think I am afraid of you?” Anya’s rageful aura rose straight to the sky.
It was so powerful that even the people in faraway cities could feel it. Ruby coughed out a mouthful of blood, getting injured from her aura alone.
On the contrary, Leo was still unaffected, protected by his own aura. Still, he didn’t protect Eren with his aura, wanting to see if Eren was actually talented enough to resist that aura to the point he gave him credit.
He was pleasantly surprised when Eren didn’t even flinch in front of that aura.
Unless he had an aura that was as strong as the Necromancer Tower Master, it meant only one thing.
He had a physique that was made to
cultivate the aura of death. It was a
physique that appeared only once in a million years. The young man was truly a terrific find.
Moreover, he had also been offended by Anya. Even if Anya knew about his physique, she couldn’t recruit him. It was more or less decided that the young man was going to become a part of his faction.
With his help, it was only a matter of time before his faction rose and became the strongest in the Necromancer Tower. In the future, it was also possible for his master to become the next Necromancer Tower.
“I should be the one asking that question;” Leo said, not hiding his killing intent. “What do you think
you are doing?”
“It was our failure that we failed to save the
Kiel Family from the enemies while we
were in this territory. Right under our noses, so many important people of our Northern Continent had died!”
“Instead of accepting part of the blame, you are letting out your frustrations on weak people who can’t resist? If you are really that strong, why don’t you come and let me see that strength that you are so proud of?”
Leo sent Eren back on the ground safely,
keeping the focus of Anya on him. Now that he had decided on taking Eren with him, he had to be a little pretentious. For Eren, he was going to become the hero
that was standing up against the evils of this world, just to protect the person who was right.
He wanted to make Eren be grateful to him
for saving his life so that he couldn’t resist the offer. Even if there was an extremely low chance of someone resisting the invitation from the Necromancer Tower, he didn’t want to take the risk if possible.
“You think I don’t dare?!” Anya couldn’t take it anymore. Her aura of death flared as she flew in the sky.
The entire Kiel family territory was
covered in the aura of death, explosions resounding all around the territory. Looking at their battles, Eren could see
that they were much stronger than the Family Heads.
Was this the difference between an official
Necromancer Tower member, even if it was a disciple, compared to the Family
Heads that were supposed to lead the outer world? He wondered.
He walked over to Ruby, who was lying on
the ground. He brought a healing pill and placed it in the girl’s mouth, letting it heal her, albeit slowly.
There was an Alchemy Tower in all four continents. The Alchemy Tower was also a neutral force that didn’t interfere within
the matters of the four continents. That’s why the four great forces didn’t offend the Alchemy Tower either.
As long as one had enough wealth and
resources, they could buy all kinds of pills from the Alchemy Tower.
A healing pill wasn’t exclusive to the
Eastern Continent so he didn’t have to worry about its origins being tracked. The
Kiel Family, despite being the weakest of the twenty families, wasn’t poor after all. “Are you feeling better?” Eren helped Ruby sit with her back resting against a rock. He could see that her complexion was recovering.
“Is this the difference between mortals and
gods?” Ruby blankly looked at the sky at
the battle.
She couldn’t even see the figures of the two youngsters, only hearing the sound of explosions that was giving her a rough estimation of the moving battle. “Gods? Maybe to the eyes of the mortals,
they might look like gods,” Eren answered, shaking his head lightly.
He had never met a true good, but if there was one existence that could be considered close to a god, it was the
author.
However, even that person was restricted
by the laws of this universe and then question voucher. Then was the creator of the question voucher a god? Just how strong as a god? He couldn’t understand. He wasn’t extremely religious on earth, so
it was hard to believe in the concept of a god. Still, he couldn’t deny his own eyes. In
this world, there were people that were extremely strong. Even he was amongst them. It truly didn’t seem impossible for there to be a god.
“That is correct. To the eyes of mortals,
those children might look like gods.” A voice came in agreement with Eren’s statement.
Instead of being happy that someone was agreeing with him, Eren’s expressions darkened. For the first time in a while, he felt a sense of extreme danger. It was as if he was going to die if he tried
moving or looking back at the person who had spoken. The aura of death had also
grown extremely dense..
