"You don't have to ask her. I already discovered the killer!"
Leo was waiting for Ruby's response when he heard the voice of Anya.
Anya also jumped down from the sky, landing a few meters away from another unique corpse which was in a different attire.
She bent forward and opened the shirt of the corpse, finding a cross shaped badge inside.
She tossed the item towards Leo with enough Strength to kill him 'accidentally'. If he was a little late, the badge would have passed through his neck, killing him
Despite Anya's intentions, Leo swiftly grabbed the badge without any hassle. The impact didn't even manage to send him back a single step.
"Did you not eat anything today? What a weak throw." Leo mockingly answered, not taking her attempts seriously. This was exactly what their relationship was like after all.
Seeing their interaction, Eren was sure that he could definitely complete the second or third option. All he needed was a little provocation to the side he selected.
With that, he could easily enter the Necromancer Tower. However, that was also quite restrictive.
If he was recommended by one of the guardians, the other guardian was going to keep an eye on him. Maybe even try to get him killed after finding out what he did.
To take such risks, just a recommendation into the Necromancer Tower as a reward wasn't enough. Only the first and the fourth option made sense for him.
He reached out his hand, selecting an option while none of the two heirs were paying any attention to him.
"A Cardinal of the Holy Church?" Leo was taken aback as soon as he observed the badge.
This was the identification badge which still had the trace of the Holy Aura. It wasn't something that could be faked.
He even felt a burning sensation in his hand as he held the pass since the Holy Aura was poisonous for them. He understood why Anya tossed the badge to him so quickly.
He tore a piece of cloth from one of the corpses and wrapped the badge safely. This was important evidence for the Necromancer Tower. With this, it was almost confirmed that the Holy Church was trying to extend their claws to the Northern Continent.
After properly covering the badge, he kept out safely in his pocket.
"It seems that we found the person behind this destruction." He approached the corpse of the Cardinal. "It makes sense for all the Family Heads to die. What's more surprising is that they managed to kill a monster like a Cardinal even in their deaths.'
"How fascinating. Did I underestimate the Family Heads or overestimate the Cardinals?" he wondered, carefully observing the corpse
The signs on the corpse were signaling towards the death due to the combined attacks of the Family Heads. Still, he felt as if it was a little too convenient.
"Was it really the Cardinal who killed everyone here? Or was there anyone else here as well? For example... Someone from the Demon Sect?" he asked Ruby who felt a chill run down her spine.
She couldn't understand how Leo managed to find out about this. Did he already know about Eren? Her face grew pale in an instant. Fortunately, Leo couldn't see her face.
'Don't think too much. He is just guessing since he heard rumors about the Demon Sect working with the Holy Church. Just go with the story we discussed.'
Eren also noticed Ruby panicking, which was a troublesome thing for him. If she exposed him, then he might have no choice but to kill the two youngsters.
"You don't have to be scared. I have already sent a message to the Necromancer Tower. A representative might be here within ten minutes. Even if the Demon Sect's member is hiding nearby, we can kill him. So just be honest," Leo further said, even surprising Eren this time.
Someone from the Necromancer Tower was actually coming here? He had only seen one person from the Necromancer Tower, who was the Lich that attacked the Spirit Realm.
The Lich itself was extremely strong, but it was said that the other members were just as strong if not more. The other members didn't walk around with their weaknesses in their hands after all.
Was he bluffing? Or was the Necromancer Tower actually sending someone as this matter was related to a Cardinal? If that was true, then it was faster than he expected.
"It was only him. He came and started killing everyone." Ruby looked back, tears streaming down her eyes as she recounted her experience.
She only changed Eren with the Cardinal while describing the scenes of carnage. It was clear from her voice that she was still traumatized and scared.
Even Leo was forced to believe her because of the fear in her voice that couldn't be faked. He didn't know that her fear was because of her assumption that Leo might already know the truth and kill them.
Leo sighed in relief.
"It looks like we are still not at the worst possible scenario. It was the work of the Holy Church. If the Demon Sect also came here, then it would truly be a..." He didn't complete his sentence, but Eren understood what he meant.
Just like people were scared of the Necromancer Tower, the same was the case for the Demon Sect which had just as bad a reputation in other Continents.
Undead and Demons, both were considered evil. Meanwhile, superhuman abilities and holy powers were considered good.
If two evils fought against each other, no one knew what kind of catastrophe it could be for a continent.
