527 Chapter 527: A stronger existence
Suddenly, the door to his room burst open, and a frantic man rushed inside.
"Master, a portal connection has been established from the Necromancer Tower! Someone is coming!" the man informed the Family Head, whose eyes widened with hope.
"Finally, we have not been abandoned!" the Family Head exclaimed.
He hurried out of the room, making his way towards the portal formation to welcome the guests descending from the Tower.
With the involvement of the Necromancer Tower, their chances of survival had increased drastically. As long as the Necromancer Tower was to destroy the enemy army, their family might not even need to be involved in this war.
The Family Head opened the door of the portal room. The light of the portal formation hadn't even dimmed as the guests had just arrived.
Still, the Family Head's face went completely pale as he saw the sight inside the room.
Many dark robed people were standing in the room, with a few of them having their teeth stabbed in the neck of the people who were here to welcome them.
"T-the shadow council...." The Triad Family Head dropped to his knees in disbelief.
He had heard about the Council of Shadows, a forbidden entity of the Necromancer Tower. It was a council that could only be controlled by the Tower Master.
They had freedom to kill anyone they wanted, as long as they had the strength. Even if they killed the Hall Masters of the Necromancer Tower, the Tower Master wasn't going to react.
These people were truly crazy, who did what they wanted.
It was only after the Council of Shadow had attacked the Left Guardian, that they were defeated and sealed by her in anger.
He had only heard his father talk about them in the past, never expecting to see them in his life. He couldn't believe that the Shadow Council had been released.
Not only was the shadow council released, but it was even stronger, under the effect of hell's appearance.
....
"Only three hall masters died before they left. Should we call ourselves lucky?"
Back in the Necromancer Tower, the Hall Masters looked at the corpse of the other hall masters that had died.
They considered themselves really lucky that they weren't the ones who caught the attention of the council of shadows.
The Council of Shadow had only killed three hall masters before they stopped, learning about the incoming war with the West.
Their eyes shone in excitement as they tossed the corpse of hall masters and left the Tower to go to the battlefield.
"As long as they can stop the forces of the West, it is a worthy sacrifice." A Hall Master said while summoning a few undeads to carry the corpses of the dead hall masters.
Even if they were dead, they could still be used by the Tower Master if needed. They were precious resources.
"I just hope that the Tower Master returns fast, before anything else can go wrong."
The Triad Family Head touched his forehead on the ground, bowing like a dog in front of the Council of Shadows, almost begging for his life with his actions.
"Cowardly... I don't like..." One of the dark robed figures stepped towards the Triad Family Head who had started shivering.
He reached out his hand towards the family head, the blood of his previous prey still dripping down his lips.
He was about to grab the head of the Triad Family Head, only to stop as his fingers were mere inches away.
A look of interest appeared in his eyes as he tilted his head towards the side, as if sensing an approaching presence that was strong enough to catch his attention.
It was especially the case since it wasn't the presence of anyone who had lived in the Northern Continent. It was a presence of a mythical beast, which was filled with life.
The Council of Shadows walked past the Triad Family Head, who had lost their interest.
The family head dropped on the ground, his body covered in sweat. He couldn't believe that he had managed to survive.
Had he committed some good deeds in his past life, for which he was rewarded now? He wondered. Then he remembered that the Council of Shadows could return at any time to kill him.
He quickly stood up and ran away to hide in some bunker of the Triad Family, only waiting for the Shadow Council to leave after taking care of the Western Army.
Even if his entire clan was wiped out, it didn't matter as long as he was alive. While hiding, he used a communication device to gather information and convey his instructions to the clan members.
....
"This should be the territory of the Triad Family. They should have a portal formation that can send us to the Tower faster," Eren told the others, as soon as the phoenix left the Kiel Family Territory, entering the Triad Family Territory.
"Are we really attacking the Necromancer Tower? Shouldn't we contact the Sect Master first?" Great Elder Zia asked Eren.
Although she knew that Eren was strong, they were still entering the territory of another Overlord. She didn't know that Eren had already killed one of them, although unintentionally.
Even if she knew what he had done in the past, she still wouldn't have thought that it was a good idea. Still, she accompanied him.
What she didn't understand was why Eren was bringing his disciple to this dangerous mission with him. And why didn't they inform Feng Yu?
"Don't worry. The Northern Overlord isn't in the Northern Continent anymore," Eren told Zia. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As for not informing Feng Yu, he had no choice in the matter. The Tower Master knew his real identity, thanks to the thread around his neck that only appeared when he was in the Northern Continent.
He wasn't sure if Feng Yu could also see that thread if she was here. He didn't want to take the risk.
If she finds his real identity, then let alone helping him, she might try to kill him instead.
