Chapter 580 You talk too much
"I am not a villain who would let you escape, only for you to return stronger! I am someone who will devour you when you are at your weakest, brother!"
Eren summoned the Holy Sword that belonged to the Holy Emperor. In hell, there was no better weapon than this, especially since the Holy Essence was poisonous to the undead.
"If I have to, I will carve a path to you!" He supplied holy essence to the sword and swung it with all his might, releasing a dense blade of holy essence. The sword energy spread out as it rushed forth, slicing through the bodies of the undead.
Eren didn't wait for the undead to die. He flew behind the sword energy that was cutting through the undead as if they were nothing more than insects.
The undead were strong, but Eren could see that they weren't dangerous to him. They were probably the last-ditch effort of the Tower Master to delay him, and he didn't plan to fall for it.
The Tower Master reached the end of the passage. He hastily pulled out the key, and tapped out of the wall. The key was absorbed by the wall and an opening started appearing above them, revealing a clear view of the sky.
"I thought about the ways I will kill him when I see him the next time. I never thought that I would be the one running away." Zephyr watched the ground above splitting apart, but instead of being relieved, he felt disgusted at himself.
The Tower Master avoided his gaze, especially since he was partially responsible. He was followed here by Eren, which allowed him to find Zephyr. If he had been careful, then something like this would never have happened.
"Don't feel bad. He is only taking advantage of your temporary weakness. Within a few weeks, you will recover. After that, he would be the one running!" After a long time, he said.
"You think I need your consolation? Don't forget your place!" Zephyr scoffed as he started climbing the stairs to leave this place. "I will definitely kill him! And then I will return to my rightful place!"
The Tower Master didn't say anything in response. He understood what Zephyr was talking about. That was also why he was so respectful to this boy, even though he was weak.
The identity of these two brothers wasn't simple. Only one of them was supposed to live, and that person was meant to be Zephyr. Unfortunately, Zephyr ended up dying before the preparation was complete.
He had almost lost hope, until he came to learn that Zephyr was still alive even after death. He had turned the world upside down to find that boy, knowing the consequences if he was to actually be dead.
He had to side with Zephyr, no matter the cost. Only then could he be rewarded for everything he went through.
The two of them stepped out of the cave, returning to the surface.
Zephyr looked at the sky above. He couldn't even recall how long it had been since he last saw the sky. Even if he was being chased by Eren, he still couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of the sky and the gentleness with which winds brushed against his skin.
"The Return Portal is in that direction," the Tower Master told Zephyr, bringing him out of his daze.
Even if the opening on the ground had closed, sealing Eren within the cave for an eternity, but he still didn't feel completely safe. There was an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He didn't want there to be any accidents.
Zephyr didn't make things difficult for him either. He nodded, and started flying in the direction that was told to him by the Tower Master.
The Tower Master also flew behind him. It was only a matter of time before they could leave this hellish world and return to the Necromancer Tower. By the time they returned, he was certain that Zephyr was going to recover as well.
Even if there were some initial problems with Eren's unexpected arrival, things were finally on track. Everything was going as per plan. Or so he thought until he heard a loud explosion behind him.
The ground itself split apart as a giant wave of flames rushed out, destroying everything in its path.
"Hellhound Flames?" Tower Master thought, unable to forget the flames that had harmed him in the battle of Hellhound City. He could still feel that burn that had wrecked his body.
"Why are the Hellhound flames here?" He wondered.
Amidst the flames, he saw a humanoid figure flying out of the ground as well. Even if that person was within the flames that could destroy everything with the slightest of touch, the man remained untouched by these flames.
"Ren Necroline..." The Tower Master mumbled, recognising that figure which landed in front of them.
Even if he tried to leave that person behind, he found his way back. Everything that could go wrong, had gone wrong.
Eren was very strange, and didn't feel any weaker. Meanwhile, he had run out of most of his Undeads that were destroyed in the battle with Hellhounds.
The Tower Master wanted to do a battle with Eren, especially since he was worried about Zephyr's safety.
He looked at Zephyr, who was also eager for battle but didn't look like he was able to fight. That only left one person who could still fight Eren.
He rubbed the back of his neck, stretching his neck. "Young Lord, can you please stay back? When I'm fighting him, I won't be able to focus on protecting you."
"As for you..." He shifted his focus back to Eren. "Just because I avoided fighting with you, you seem to think that it is because I'm scared of you. Did you really think that I can't kill you?"

Even if he wasn't in his best condition after fighting the Hellhounds, he still believed that he could kill Eren. Even if that brat had become stronger, he couldn't change his fate.
