Chapter 1212: Cap 1210: Tower of 4 eyes

Pov Hela's:

Right now we are being guided by Zaya, the Lady of the Grave that this Phantom World put in our path, I told her what we were looking for and she was surprised, I won't reveal to her our true objective before getting to know her and this suspicious world better.

"As I've said hundreds of times, please don't try to cause a fight on the main streets or busy areas of either city." (Zaya)

"I can't even stab someone in the back or throw them into my shadow to play with later?" (Lilith)

"Space techniques are difficult to use within the city, even capture magic like this using shadows has characteristics of space magic and will be interfered with within the city, reducing the speed of use significantly." (Zaya)

"In other words, it makes escape, concealment, and capture techniques more difficult to use." (I)

"Yes, as I said before, most of the population of this world comes from outside, they are people treated as criminals or marginalized outside this place, and the majority have peculiarities in their behavior." (Zaya)

"Even if there are no laws or rules anywhere since there is no type of government, I must repeat that there are still unwritten rules of coexistence that people themselves have learned to respect to avoid unnecessary fights." (Zaya)

Zaya has said the same thing many times, but for Lilith, it seems like all this conversation is going in one ear and out the other, it seems like a disobedient child insisting on the same topic expecting a different answer.

I looked at Lilith and she was anxious constantly looking in various directions, I also noticed the instability in her Aura and the tremor in her hands.

"Come on, it can't be that..." (Lilith)

"Lilith, are there many?" (I)

"Many is not enough to say, there are so many that I can feel like someone who went hungry for a month being forced to sit in front of a banquet table without being able to touch the food..." (Lilith)

"That was very specific." (Zaya)

"She is a Priestess of Vengeance." (I)

"I realized, that's why I keep repeating my warnings, she is not the first of her Religion to appear here, everyone always ends up dead in a horrible way after being the spark that causes a massacre, it is always my people who have been busy cleaning up tens of kilometers in the end, have you ever tried to remove cursed blood stains from your clothes?" (Zaya)

"If you use holy water with a potion of liquid soap it gets clean super fast." (Lilith)

"There is no holy water in this world, in fact, there is nothing blessed by any Deity here, but if we talk about curses, then that is even in the air we breathe and that is why you should be careful." (Zaya)

This place is simply unassailable for any kind of living creature, now I understand why it had to be the two of us who came here.

"Let me take care of Lilith." (I)

When we entered what looked like a restaurant, I realized it was made of wood, but the wood was filled with cursed energy coursing through the interior and there were distorted magic circles inside, the Owner was another Lady of the Grave who exchanged glances with Zaya before pointing to Up, nodding, without saying anything we continued to the second floor, entering a room with a large window.

While we were sitting in our seats around the table, a Zombie with empty eyes entered right behind, placing cutlery and plates of food for everyone, he has 8 arms that are handled with great precision.

As soon as he left I looked at the dishes, I was able to see that they are people's meat and a soup made from eyes, from the shape and feel I know they are all from Elves, the main dish was the direct thigh of a White Elf.

"I hope you don't mind the meal, many are uncomfortable with the food." (Zaya)

As she spoke I was taking the Elf's skin out of the way before taking just a portion of the meat for myself, Lilith was pulling her part of the already roasted thigh meat to throw into her eye soup and my Familiar was taking just the eyes of your soup to chew.

"All living creatures are food, I'm part Vampire just like Lilith, we feed on blood often." (I)

"You talk like it's normal, but outside of our house this is strange even for Vampires and Demons." (Lilith)

"I guess so, but they're always enemies, so it doesn't matter in the end." (I)

"I liked the food, especially from a criminal, the taste of revenge is always the best." (Lilith)

"I'm glad you like it, but I came here for more than just eating." (Zaya)

"This restaurant has a direct view of the bone tower, see?" (Zaya)

"Yeah, it was hard not to see something that big." (I)

I look through the large window seeing a completely gray tower with a square shape, at the top of the tower there are 4 giant eyes looking at the surroundings, this tower is emanating a strong energy of death mixed with miasma.

"This city largely belongs to the Necromancers, this tower is a place where they hold meetings and experiments, the item they want is at the top of the tower under the protection of the 4 eyes that are powerful guardians." (Zaya)

"I see, I... Urgh!!!!" (I)

As I looked down the street and the tower, a great pain ran through my mind as flames that seemed to be made from the night sky appeared from within my hands and I felt them appearing in my eyes as well.

"(What's happening, so much pain, so much power...)" (I)

I couldn't think straight when my mind momentarily clouds.

"Why did this have to happen..." (Zaya)

"< Secret of the Cursed Grave >" (Zaya)
