Anya and Leo were not on good terms with each other, but even they didn't want infighting when an envoy from the Necromancer Tower was about to arrive.
Despite that, Leo didn't like Anya's behavior. When he saw Anya hurting Ruby, he thought about interfering. However, before he could do anything, Eren spoke up.
Not only Anya but even he was surprised. He already had an eye for this young man to make him the second disciple of his master, but he appeared even more impressed by him now.
Normally, people were scared of their identity alone, let alone their strength and frightening aura. Even in the Capital, no one would have spoken up against one of them, worried about getting killed right away.
Despite that, Eren didn't hesitate in voicing his support for Ruby, even at the risk of his own life. Not only was this man talented when it came to resisting the aura of death but he was also brave in the face of death.
It was a quality just as important as the aura control, especially for people of the Necromancer Tower that were closely related to death. If they were scared of death, how could they conquer death in the first place?
His gaze towards Eren changed slightly. If previously, it was as if he was looking at an unrefined diamond then now, it was as if he was looking at an even more precious gem.
He resisted his urge to interfere, waiting to watch the show. He wanted to see how Eren was going to deal with this mess. Did he have a plan, or was he just courting death?
"Am I hearing things?" Anya asked, glancing at Leo. "Why do I feel like that slave was talking to me?"
She was still in disbelief. First, Ruby was talking against him. And now, even her servant was standing up against her? Just what kind of mockery was this?
She was the Princess of the Greyndor Clan. She had destroyed so many cities in the Northern Continent to feed her undead dragon that she couldn't even count.
"Since you all look down on me, I will grant you one mercy. I will let you become one with my baby."
Eren's body was tossed straight into the sky like a lifeless toy. If it was any ordinary person, they might have died from the pressure of the throw itself.
While Eren was high in the sky, he could easily control his body and regain his balance even in the sky. However, that would've been too obvious. He was really curious to see if he might actually have to kill these two.
As his body started falling, the Undead Dragon in the sky flew towards him, opening its rotten jaws wide.
The Undead Dragon was treating him as food that was given to it by its master. Although it preferred the taste of young ones, it didn't mean that it shouldn't destroy others.
With the Undead Dragon's jaws extremely close to him, Eren felt like he had no choice. He might have to give up on the selected option and take a different path.
It was problematic to face the envoy that was coming from the Northern Continent, but that was for the later.
He opened his inventory, almost bringing out his sword.
He reached out his hand towards his sword, only to feel a sudden rush of wind. A loud bang resounded and the next thing he knew was that the Undead Dragon was sent back flying.
An invisible force caught on to him, preventing his fall. In front of him, the figure of a person appeared, which surprised even him.
It was none other than Leo. His bet had paid off. It was clear that Leo and Anya weren't friendly to each other. The more offended one was, the more friendly the other one was going to be.
