Eren instinctively stepped back, avoiding the touch of the woman. Even if it was for an act, he couldn't allow her to touch him.
He had already taken a lot of risks to keep up this act. Anything more than this was dangerous. If she touched his face, then he couldn't even chop it off to protect himself.
The woman stopped trying to touch Eren's face, as if she was only trying to teach this foolish young man a lesson.
"That is better. Weak people need to have this fear. Only then can they live longer."
She walked past Eren, who intentionally didn't react fast enough to her movements. He slowly turned around, noticing the woman standing in the distance, looking at the sky where the two youngsters were fighting.
"From one fool, on to the other." She shook her head, sounding a little more frustrated this time.
It was said that the Holy Church had attacked the Kiel Family. Even in a situation like this, two idiots were busy fighting amongst themselves?
She raised her hand. Her movements were very graceful, in stark contrast to her attire.
"I have been honing this skill for over a year. I hope you will not blame me if you die..." Leo raised his sword high, a powerful and frightening aura of death flaring up from his sword.
The aura was like a dark flame that rose high in the sky, creating a shadow of an illustrious sword in the sky.
"You might have to be reborn twenty times before you can kill me." Anya stood in the sky, ten kilometers away from Leo. She also made a gesture, summoning her own weapon.
The shadow of a two headed snake appeared above her, being just as big as the shadow of the sword.
The two of them had been in a subtle enmity with each other for a long time. It had finally come to a point like this where none of them was willing to go easy on the other.
"Why would I have a problem with your arrival?" Leo forced his body up. "It's just that I thought that you would have more important things to do, like my master."
Anya also climbed out of the nearby crater, growing surprised to catch the glimpse of the woman.
She jumped inside Leo's crater, respectfully greeting the woman. "Master, you are here!"
'So it's the left guardian. No wonder she is strong.' Eren didn't approach the crater, only listening to the conversation through his heightened conversation.
Although Leo wasn't outright disrespectful to the Left Guardian, his words were very sharp. He didn't forget to imply that his master was more important than her to the Necromancer Tower.
"You are right. I don't have anything to do, since I have people like your master to take care of things for me," the Left Guardian said, not hiding the smirk on her lips. "That is what a leader does. They give work to those below them. Don't you agree?"
"Hmph." Leo didn't respond to the woman. He could disrespect her in thousands of ways for disrespecting his master, but he understood that she might actually kill him if he went too far.
Even though she was smiling while talking to him, there was no guarantee that she wasn't going to kill him the next second if he didn't stop.
He jumped out of the crater, leaving the two girls behind, his expressions being slightly twisted. Anya had an upper hand now, as her master was here. Things had truly become much worse for him.
Anya followed her master out of the crater, telling her everything about the incident. She only hid a few things about her conduct, especially regarding her killing the Leader of the Kiel Family Guards.
She also escorted her master to the corpse of the Cardinal, which was the only evidence left behind.
"This is... Treniel?"
Just a single glance at the corpse and the girl was able to guess the exact identity of the Cardinal, which even surprised Eren.
