Chapter 431: In Enemy Territory
“You are just a mere servant of the Kiel Clan who can’t even fight! What makes you think you have a chance to become a
member of the Necromancer Tower? You might have to be reborn a thousand times before you’re worthy!” Anya scoffed at Eren, her expression filled with disgust.
Even talented individuals were often rejected by the Necromancer Tower. Only the absolute best could join its ranks. And here was this insignificant young man daring to dream of becoming one of them?
“What you said is true. But if we are to take you to the Tower, we might as well try to have
you accepted as a member,” Leo said, different from the scornful Anya. He wanted Eren to become a Disciple of the Tower.
As long as Eren made it to the Tower, he could look for his master and ask him to take Eren as a disciple. The more others looked down on him, the better it was for him. It meant they were less likely to try and steal him away.
“Very well, we shall present him as a member of the Tower,” the Left Guardian agreed. Whatever helped these two come to the Tower without resistance, was for the better.
If they were behind these deaths, then they could always be killed mercilessly. She herself was going to make their lives a living hell.
Even if they were innocent, they could always be turned into something useful. The Necromancer Tower always had a need for servants to tend to the undead beasts.
“I have decided to select you two as the Official Members of the Necromancer Tower. Hence, you will follow us back so your training can begin,” Left Guardian told
Eren, not realizing that she had completed an important condition for Eren.
As long as he stepped foot inside the Necromancer Tower, he was going to complete two of his goals. Not only was he going to complete the option, but he was also going to be close to the Door of Hell, which was an important condition for activating Hell’s Pass.
At the same time, it all depended on him. If
he couldn’t even survive, then all of it was useless. He was going to the territory of the Necromancer Tower. Or rather, he was walking towards his potential death with barely any preparation.
He knew that if he rejected the Left Guardian even now, she was most probably going to attack him. Holding Ruby’s hands, he walked towards the portal formation.
In his mind, he kept listening to Yelen’s frantic voice. She kept telling him to not go to the Necromancer Tower as she wasn’t going to be able to help him there.
The Necromancer Tower was the graveyard for the Spirits. She couldn’t even
be summoned there, let alone help him with portals. As long as he entered the Necromancer Tower, he was on his own. Eren had already been to the Demon Sect,
the Hero Academy and the Holy Church. However, this time was his most risky endeavor.
‘I know that it is dangerous. One wrong
step and I might actually die. However, if I don’t take this step, I might never get this opportunity. I might regret it forever if I fail now.’ Eren answered Yelen in his mind as he stopped just before the portal
formation.
He took a deep breath before stepping on
the portal with Anya. A mysterious spatial force surrounded his body, pulling him through space.
It was an experience similar to what he went through when he used Yelen’s portals. The only difference was that it was even more chaotic, albeit shorter.
Just as he felt like he was being pulled in all
directions, he reached the other side of the formation. His body was tossed out of the formation.
He barely stood with the support of a wall,
his face completely pale. He felt like he was going to vomit.
Ruby was even more inexperienced than
him. Even though she didn’t have a portal
specific sickness, she didn’t feel good as this was her first experience.
Soon after, the Left Guardian also returned
with Anya and Leo. She looked at Eren, who was vomiting in the corner of the room. Her gaze narrowed in response. Was this truly a high ranking member of
the Hero Academy? The Hero Academy also used similar portals as far as she remembered.
In that case, why did Eren look like it was his first time going through such an experience? He looked even worse than Ruby.
It made her have second thoughts about
her assumption. Was Eren really from the Hero Academy? Let alone Hero Academy, even the high elders of the Demon Sect were good at spatial travel.
The Elders of the Demon Sect didn’t even
need the help of the portals as they could simply rip the space apart to travel. Either Eren was a really good actor or he
actually wasn’t from the two forces. At least that’s what his sickness was signaling. “How pathetic.” Anya commented, looking at the condition of Eren. “So much for
talking so big about becoming a disciple.” The Left Guardian gave Eren a few minutes to recover but it didn’t look like he was going to recover anytime soon. He had stopped vomiting, but there were still a few
traces of blood that were coming out of his nose.
She couldn’t waste any more time on him.
She told the others to follow her as she stepped out of the portal room. Eren, still with a slightly blurry vision, was
cursing her in his mind. More than her, he was cursing this spatial travel. He couldn’t understand why the entire world used it. Couldn’t they just bring him through normal means?
He could barely even see the Left
Guardian. Still, he followed her with occasionally stumbling feet. It was only when Ruby came to support him that
things became a little easier for him. He was brought through the corridors that
were filled with the aura of death, his destination being unclear. He was brought through the corridors that
were filled with the aura of death, his destination being unclear.
If anything, he appeared slightly distracted looking at his inventory, a new item appearing there. It was the reward of his option completion..
