A new item had appeared in Eren's inventory that only he could see. At the initial impressions, the item appeared no different than a wooden mask which wasn't even sothing that could properly be worn.
It was too small to be of any use, rely being a few inches long. It was more like sothing that could be used to make an accessory for a pendant than a proper mask.
With the Left Guardian nearby, Eren couldn't bring the mask out of his inventory to check its uses. For the ti being, he silently followed the Left Guardian with the support of Ruby.
Soon, the left guardian stopped in front of a large tallic door. She opened the door and told Eren to enter.
"What is this place?" Eren asked, frowning.
"You ask too many questions..." The Left Guardian simply waved her hand, using the controlling force to pull Eren's body.
Eren's body flew straight inside the room, Ruby following closely behind. The mont both of them were inside the dark room, the tallic door closed.
From outside, the left guardian's voice ca, "For now, you will be staying here. After we confirm what happened in the Kiel Family Estate, we will think about how to deal with you."
The left guardian turned around, not offering any further explanation.
From inside the room, Eren heard the sound of footsteps getting distant. They were truly left behind in this room, which was truly no different than a prison cell.
The walls were made from anti magic material. Even a powerful mage couldn't break these walls, let alone people from other Continents.
The tallic door was even worse. Eren simply touched the door and he felt as if his strength was being sucked by the door.
If he was to attack the door, he was sure that the door wasn't going to break. If anything, the door was going to steal his energy, maybe even use it against him.
He confird his theory with the use of Identification Skill on the door, only to realize that everything was just as he expected.
"Just as I thought, this was a trap." Eren walked back and sat down, his head still a little dizzy from the use of the portal formation.
Fortunately, with ti, he was becoming more clear headed.
"She is going to bring them back to life and then co to kill us. What a ruthless woman," he said.
Ruby was shocked at Eren's words. Did it an that they were already discovered?
"If you knew that this was a trap, why did you agree to co here?" she asked, looking back at Eren.
The mont she saw Eren's face, she grew even more stunned. Even though the young man was talking about such a scary thing that could lead to their death, he didn't look scared.
He was calm. In fact, he was a little too calm. She didn't understand how he could be so calm in a situation like this, as if everything was still going as per his wishes.
She saw Eren waving her fingers in the air, appearing to be touching so invisible object. Before long, she saw a tiny wooden mask appear in his hand out of thin air.
The mask didn't feel anything extraordinary. It only looked like a charm that a kid had made from one of the most ordinary trees in the neighborhood.
She could even break the wooden mask without using any special abilities.
"What is that?" she asked Eren, curious about the object.
Although the small mask looked too ordinary, she was sure that wasn't the case. Eren was the Great Elder of the Demon Sect. How could he have ordinary things?
"It's sothing really fun." Eren's lips crept up to form a smile as he looked at the description of the small wooden mark.
He wondered if this was the effect of his Destiny Physique. This item was truly useful for him.
"Before anything else, there is one more thing for to finish." He kept the wooden mask back in his inventory.
Standing up, he walked closer to Ruby and placed a finger on her forehead.
Under his breath, he chanted a few words to use the Dragon Tongue Language, accompanied by the ability of the Hero Academy Professor that he had stolen in the Hero Continent.
With the hero's ability, he started manipulating her mories. With the girl being so weak, he didn't have any problem when it ca to the ntal manipulation.
With the Dragon Tongue, he reinforced the effects of his abilities, creating new mories for the girl to believe in.
Now that he was in the Necromancer Tower, anything was possible. His biggest weakness here was Ruby, who knew his real identity.
Previously, she barely controlled her fear and wasn't interrogated by the left guardian. It was quite possible that next ti it might not be so easy for her.
He made sure that Ruby believed the story that they had told the Necromancer Tower.
He even erased mories related to Fey, manipulating them to make her believe that it was actually an ordinary eting in her family which was attacked by soone who looked like the Cardinal.
"That should be enough." After completing the manipulation, he walked back to his place and sat down.
He had taken care of the most basic things. Now only the important pieces of this puzzle were left.
....
"The left guardian is coming here?"
"What? What did we do? Why is that monster coming here? Did you offend her sohow?"
"What do you an? It must be you who offended her! Rember the ti she brought back an adult Mythical Beast Corpse after hunting it? She must have found out that you failed to reanimate the corpse of the beast!"
"How could she find out so soon? Argh, I am dead if it is true! I need to hide!"
Inside a hall, there was absolute panic as the news amidst the mbers of Hall of Life and Death.
