....

In the Northern Continent, the situation had grown more complicated in recent days. Ever since the Kiel Family was destroyed with the leaders of other Major Families, the situation had never been the same.

Soon, news spread that the strongest family of the Northern Continent, Greyndor, was destroyed. Only a rare few people knew that the Greyndor Family had become collateral damage of the Necromancer Tower Master's wrath.

After destroying the Greyndor Family, the Necromancer Tower had simply disappeared, never to be seen again. Still, it had sent a signal across the continent that the Greyndor Family had offended the Necromancer Tower.

Even the remnants of the Greyndor Family that weren't at the main branch when it was destroyed, weren't lucky enough to survive.

The Mages of the Northern Continent tried to find them so they could kill them, helping the Necromancer Tower in the process.

Thanks to Eren, the Greyndor Family had become a taboo in the Northern Continent. The heirs who used to flex the names of their family being the Greyndor Family were running around, hiding their identity.

Even Anya Greyndor was forced to be on the run. She didn't even understand why it was happening.

She was the disciple of the Left Guardian with her future looking bright. She could even destroy an entire town without a single care in the world, turning innocent people into the food of her undead dragon.

In an instant, she had lost everything. She was being hunted by everyone. She didn't quite understand why it was happening, but she managed to learn that it had something to do with the young man she had left with her family.

It wasn't her family that had offended the Tower Master. Instead, it was that person. Her family had simply become collateral damage through no fault of her own.

Meanwhile, the second strongest family had gained everything. The Rottenheim Family had gained control of the remaining major families that had lost their leaders.

Everything that belonged to her, was taken by Leo Rottenheim when he was the person who had saved Eren when she wanted to kill him in Kiel Family Territory.

Even the territory of her family now belonged to the Rottenheim Family.

"I will make you all pay. One day, I will take back everything that belongs to me!"

His laughter grew louder as he aimed the key towards the Undead Dragon in the sky that was about to attack.

"That key..." Anya grew stunned at the sight of the key. She rushed to stop the person, only to be blocked by the other hounds.

Meanwhile, the dark robed man twisted the key aimed towards the undead dragon. As soon as the key turned, a powerful essence of death rushed out from the key.

The essence condensed into solid form, taking the shape of dark chains that flew straight towards the Undead Dragon.

The Undead Dragon roared fiercely, firing dark flames towards the chain, trying to fly higher. However, the dark chains devoured the dark flames, growing even stronger.

The chains soon reached the Undead Dragon. Anya realized how terrifying this item could be. She couldn't even believe that the Rottenheim Family had been hiding it all this time.

It was an item that was most useful against undead beasts, especially the mythical beasts.

As her master was the only person who loved to tame undead mythical beasts, she had commanded all great families to offer these things to her as soon as they found one. She never expected the Rottenheim Family to keep it hidden.

The dark chains wrapped around the Undead Dragon, slowly devouring the essence of death from the dragon. Not only could the undead dragon not free itself, but it couldn't even protect its own essence from being devoured.

"Come back!" Anya realized that the situation wasn't looking good. Without the help of her undead dragon, she couldn't defeat these people before their reinforcements arrived.

She called the dragon back, which was the one way to protect itself from being completely devoured. Unfortunately, the Dragons couldn't even obey the commands anymore.

The Hounds also kept attacking Anya, who was pushed back with each attack.

The two sides were so distracted with each other that they didn't even notice that there was an outsider not far from them

A young man was sitting over a mountain of rubble, watching the spectacle as if he was watching a movie.

"In this world, there is never a dull moment. Even in this barren place, I can find conflict. It's just perfect for me." The man tilted his head sideways, looking at the Hounds with great interest.

"I wonder if they can kill me successfully. It has been a really long time since I last died." The man rubbed the back of his head, wondering how he should die this time. "The others are certainly working hard. I can't fall behind."
