Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Just how many of you are there?!
A gun materialized in Eren's hand, a reward for surviving the Sea Dragon Queen.
This gun, though modeled after those from Earth, was different. It didn't use normal bullets like the guns from earth. Instead, it generated bullets using the mana of its owner.
Eren began supplying his mana, something that held little use for him otherwise. The mana flowed through his hands into the gun, which absorbed it greedily.
The mana was condensed inside the bullet, taking the shape of the bullet.
Still, he was taken aback when the gun continued to absorb his mana even after several moments had passed.
In less than a minute, his mana reserves were nearly depleted, and only then did the gun stop taking more mana.
Eren felt that the gun stopped only because he had almost run out of mana. It felt as if the gun possessed safety mechanisms and knew the limits, depending on the user.
As it was a bound item, no one other than him could use it. So he could be the only user of the gun in the first place, at least as per his expectations.
He was certain that he could have supplied more mana if necessary, as long as he didn't run out of it.
On the other hand, he could have forcefully cut off the supply whenever he wanted, something which could create weaker bullets. The more and the purer mana the gun received, the stronger an attack it could produce.
'I hope you are worth this,' he thought as his finger tested on its trigger.
"Do you really need to hide?" Li Yunfeng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharply looking at the pillar behind which Eren was standing.
"Did you find me with the trace of mana?" Eren stepped into the light, his face covered with a mask.
As he had also changed his clothes, it was impossible to recognise him as the Elder from the Sect as long as he didn't release his aura.
He was certain that Li Yunfeng couldn't sense him before. However, the trace of mana flowing from his body to the gun made his presence known.
Li Yunfeng didn't even frown at the sight of a stranger who appeared like an assassin.
"Are you from the Northern Continent?" he asked, changing his voice a little.
There were also a few rare exceptions in the other continents who could use mana, but it was mostly associated with the Mages from the Northern Continent.
"Didn't I tell you people to not come here? What if someone saw you?" Li Yunfeng frowned as he waved his hand, creating a snow wall to close the opening into the hall.
He closed the entire hall to make sure that someone couldn't come here even from an accident, as if he didn't want to be seen with the guest.
"Hmm?" Eren's mask hid his expressions or his shock would have been clearly visible on his face.
He didn't understand. If Li Yunfeng thought that he was from the Necromancer Tower, shouldn't he be shocked?
Why did it feel like this wasn't the first time Li Yunfeng was meeting someone from the Necromancer Tower?
Eren had quite a few questions in his mind, but there was only one possibility that made sense for him. Li Yunfeng, also known as the Frost Demon, was quite deeply related to the Necromancer Tower.
The way he closed the hall, it also became clear that he didn't want anyone to know about it.
'Is he a spy of the Necromancer Tower?' Eren thought, almost slamming his face in his palms.
Just what kind of sect did Feng Yu create? One famous Elder was a spy from the Necromancer Tower and another famous Elder was the spy from the Hero Academy?
At this rate, was there also a spy from the Holy Empire? he wondered.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Li Yunfeng asked, frowning at the strange silence.
"Does the Master need your permission to have something done?" Eren asked in return, answering the first question of Li Yunfeng.
"Know your place!" he added.
Although Li Yunfeng's expressions became darker after being scolded, he didn't retort.
"I-i know he must have sent you here for a purpose. I didn't mean to question him. I just meant that it was dangerous," he clarified.
He didn't care what the person in front of him thought, but if this reached the ears of 'that person' , then it could only be a disaster for him.
Eren came here to kill Li Yunfeng, but he had found a link between Li Yunfeng and the Necromancer Tower.
There were quite a lot of things that he wanted to know about the Necromancer Tower and what better person than Li Yunfeng to interrogate.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to waste interrogating the Frost Demon. It was only a matter of time before he realized that he wasn't from the Necromancer Tower.
Eren walked closer to Li Yunfeng, his body surrounded in a black cloak, a gun hidden within.
"You know about hell?" he asked as he approached Li Yunfeng, remembering the Hell's Pass he had received from the system.
He also heard from the Lich about the materials for the Hell's Door opening. He was quite curious about the hell that was supposed to be opened as even Yelen didn't seem to know anything about it.
"Hell?" Li Yunfeng looked in confusion. "What are you even talking about?"
Eren sighed in disappointment.
"I see. So you are just an insignificant pawn. I guess I overestimated you."
He stopped with only half a meter of distance between him and Li Yunfeng who was still sitting on the throne, not realizing how close death had approached him.
He expected to receive some answers from Li Yunfeng, especially about Hell's Door and things related to it. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to know anything about it.
He was just a pawn, just like he was supposed to be for the Hero Academy. For the useless pawn, he only had one fate in mind.
His hand came out from the cloak, holding a strange shaped metal object which aimed at Li Yunfeng's head.
Li Yunfeng couldn't feel any magic or even aura from this metal object at the moment.
"What are yo-"
He opened his lips to ask, but before he could finish, a loud bang resounded in the Frost Palace.
