"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 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.
If anything, he appeared slightly distracted looking at his inventory, a new item appearing there. It was the reward of his option completion.
