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.
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.
