Chapter 430 - : As prisoners?

Even though it was a very minute fluctuation in his expressions, the Left Guardian noticed it. She looked particularly interested in Eren, but she didn't say anything to him.

If the second possibility was true and the person was able to disguise, it meant the killer might be here. It could be Ruby, or Eren. It might have already killed one of them and taken their position.

She could verify her assumption right here, but she didn't want to give that person any chance to escape. It was better to be sure, than to risk it. Even if it was her, she didn't know the extent of abilities the killer had.

If he could assassinate Treniel who was more cautious, then he couldn't be a fool. If it was indeed Eren or Ruby, then it was never too late to verify after reaching the Necromancer Tower.

She raised her finger, her shadow growing bigger until it was covering the entire estate area. From her shadows, many Undeads started crawling out.

More than half of them were humans, while the remaining were strange beasts that Eren hadn't seen before.

The Undeads didn't attack anyone. Instead, they started clearing the rubble, moving it away. Even the weakest of the undead was able to pick heavy rubble like it was light as a feather, making them more efficient.

Within ten minutes, the entire Kiel Family Estate was cleaned of any rubble, which revealed a broken portal formation that was destroyed in the carnage.

If it wasn't destroyed and someone was able to reach it on time, they could have asked for help from the Necromancer Tower. Unfortunately, Eren didn't give them any opportunity.

It was also this broken formation which prevented the Necromancer Tower from sending a representative directly to this place.

The Left Guardian walked closer to the formation. She conjured a shadow blade in her left hand. With the blade, she cut her finger just enough to make it bleed.

The drop of her blood fell on the formation, slowly spreading out as it started mending the broken formation. Even the cracks and broken lines were getting repaired with her blood acting as the conduit.

It was only a matter of time before the entire foundation was repaired, connecting to the Necromancer Tower. However, that alone wasn't enough.

A verification was needed from the Necromancer Tower before the portal could actually be activated again, so as to prevent any unauthorized attack on the Necromancer Tower.

With the Left Guardian asking for the verification herself, it didn't even take a few seconds before the authorisation was granted. There were only a rare few people who were above the Left Guardian in authority after all.

Eren was starting to feel a rising headache when he saw the portal formation. It didn't take him long to realize where the portal formation was going to take him.

He was being taken to the Necromancer Tower with the corpses that were witnesses of him killing them. It was not just going to the enemy territory. It was much more than that.

He knew that the best open right now was to escape. He couldn't afford to enter the Necromancer Tower. However, he also understood that it might be the best opportunity he was ever going to have, especially with the Hell's Opening being so close.

It was also the option that he had selected. He needed to go to the Necromancer Tower. The only problem was the corpse that was going to be reanimated.

"Was this what the author talked about? The event that will lead to my death?" Eren scratched the back of his head, hesitating about his next action.

He wondered if he should try to escape right now. If he did that, he had a good chance of being able to get away, but there was just as good a chance that he might fail.

'I need to complete the option first.' Eren thought, realizing the importance of the reward.

He had a better understanding of his options now. Most of the time, what he needed was right within his grasp. In this case, he felt that it was the option that he had selected.

He had to enter the Necromancer Tower as the official member of the Tower. If he failed in that, he might lose everything.

"The connection is completed. You two may enter first." The Left Guardian gestured for Ruby and Eren to enter.

Ruby was very scared, being taken to the Necromancer Tower for the first time. Until now, she had only heard about that place, which was a legend in the Necromancer Tower. For the first time, she was going to step foot inside the Necromancer Tower.

"Are we being taken there as prisoners?" Eren asked the Left Guardian while holding Ruby's hand to calm her. If she was scared now, it might spoil his entire plan.

If possible, he wanted to use his Dragon Tongue to calm her, but it was too risky in front of the Left Guardian. He could only rely on small things like holding her hands and letting her know that she was going to be fine as long as he was here.

Ruby looked towards Eren, noticing the confidence on his face which also made her feel better. If he was confident, then could it be that he had a plan? Although she was scared, she tried to control herself. Unfortunately, it was still too hard.

"You are not going there as our prisoners, so don't worry," Left Guardian said. Even if that was the case, she didn't want to accept it. First, she had to bring them back to the Necromancer Tower, closing all routes of escape.

"If I'm not wrong, the Necromancer Tower only brings two kind people back. The first are prisoners and the second are members. If we are not prisoners, then are you accepting us as the official disciples of the Tower?" Eren asked, looking forward to the answer.

If an ordinary member of the tower answered that question with a confirmation, it was useless. But if it came from the Left Guardian, then even if it was a lie, the words held a certain authority.
