Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1570 Lazarus: "Who Says I'm Running?"

Edgar fixed Eren with an intense gaze, his tone serious as he issued a stark warning.

"The Rankers surrounding this barrier won't grant you an easy death once they uncover what you've been doing right under their noses, Eren. They'll subject you to centuries of torment before allowing you to find release in death," Edgar cautioned.

Eren began to respond, but Edgar raised his hand in a 'halt' gesture and continued.

"How about this? The Last Blood Bastion can offer you protection to safely escort you to our hideout. In return, you need only surrender the complete inheritance of the Sansara Sage.

To be honest, I can't guarantee a safe extraction from this place, but we of the Last Blood Bastion will do our utmost to shield you and your assets. We both possess space-element runes and can work together to find a way out before the entire continent turns against you," Edgar's words dripped with desperation, revealing his lack of full confidence in the plan.

Eren shook his head at Edgar's proposal, speaking calmly as he retrieved his Sativa Stick. With a flick, he lit the Stick and inhaled deeply, releasing smoke through his nose as he spoke.

"You want me to take asylum in the Last Blood Bastion and stay there forever? I'm sorry Sage, Edgar, but that does not look like a very healthy choice to me?"

Edgar didn't take offense at Eren's actions or his words. The opportunity to obtain the complete inheritance of the Sansara Sage outweighed concerns about the rigid Rankers' Code of Conduct. He looked at Eren with a troubled expression, voicing his concerns.

"How do you plan to escape from this place? The Anfang Alliance will eventually utilize their space-element sages to nullify the runes you've been using. They'll track you down; it might not be today or tomorrow, but eventually, they'll reach you.

I'm not even certain you can leave the battlefield by using space-element runes. With the Anfang Alliance's full resources, it is highly possible that you will be tailed," Edgar painted a bleak picture of Eren's future.

Eren shook his head, calmly responding.

Eren Elija Idril, this man is an enigma.

The more I learn about him, the more I understand that I've only scratched the surface of the mysteries surrounding him,' Edgar concluded his chain of thoughts and, after taking a deep breath, he finally responded to Eren.

"Alright, I'll let you handle things with Demonmir," Edgar assured Eren.

"The Last Blood Bastion won't involve itself in this matter anymore. We would have aided Demonmir if he'd adhered to our contract. But since he violated the contract rules, we're free to disassociate from him."

Eren smiled, relieved by JJ Edgar's confirmation. He didn't want the Last Blood Bastion as an additional enemy when he summoned Demonmir onto the battlefield. Without this faction's presence, Eren's headache would be considerably smaller.

Edgar nodded at Eren and turned to leave. However, Eren's next words stopped him in his tracks.

"Here, catch this," Eren threw something at Edgar, and it passed through the Birdcage Barrier as if it didn't exist. Edgar raised his hand, caught the object, and turned around with a puzzled expression.

He gaped at his own diary, a relic from his time as a small-time Ranker before he became a half-blood.

"This… this is my diary! How... How did you get this?"

Edgar regarded Eren with sheer wonder. Eren smiled and replied.

"It's a long story, Sage Edgar. I'll share it when we meet under different circumstances on another day."

Without waiting for Edgar's response, Eren turned and walked toward the Soul Seed Insertion Array Formation.

To the observers, it was a mystery what had passed between Eren and Edgar. But they were astonished to see that Edgar's forces had completely withdrawn from the battlefield, leaving no trace behind.
