NOVEL WEB Chapter 572: Bringer of Bad Luck
The Tower Master barely protected his vitals, jumping back again. But the injury was already done, the hell flames starting to cause chaos inside his body.
"Urgh!" He groaned in pain, sending his Undead to keep the Hellhound Patriarch back. In an instant, all the advantages he had gained were destroyed.
He had no choice but to give up on his goals and focus on escaping. He needed to get away from the battle to protect himself and get rid of the raging flames that had entered his body.
He didn't know who was responsible for messing with his plans, but now wasn't the time to think about it. He jumped high in the sky, leaping past the Hellhound Patriarch.
He started running away, while the Hellhound Patriarch dealt with the undead Hellhounds.
By the time the Hellhound Patriarch was finished, the Tower Master had already reached the other end of the city.
On his way out of the city, he killed all the guards that he came across. At the same time, he also spread the plague of death across the city to keep the Hellhounds even more occupied, not wanting to be chased.
Soon, he had left the city and disappeared into the unknown.
Eren had initially planned to stick close to the Princess to find the Necromancer Tower Master. But now that the person was right there, he didn't want to lose him.
As for finding the draconian princess, he could always do that later thanks to Yevni, whom he was leaving behind.
He chased after the Tower Master, also leaving the city. He left the Draconian Princess to deal with the mess that he had created.
On his way out, he didn't forget to send a mental transmission to the Princess.
"I have something urgent to do, so I will have to take my leave. When I am finished, I will find you at the Capital. Until then, you can have my colleague as collateral!"
The Princess was stunned by the message. She thought about chasing after Eren, but the Hellhounds were already keeping her guards busy.
It was the worst opportunity that Eren had chosen to run away, which left her with no chance to catch up to him.
Instead, she was more worried about the consequences that she might have to face.
The Hellhound Prince was dead, and she was claimed to be responsible. Even if she was the sister of a Primordial, she might not escape scot free.
As long as she was in Hellhound City, she was not safe. She didn't know what a broken father might do for revenge, even forgetting about the wellbeing of the city. Your next journey awaits at empire
Even worse was the fact that Eren was believed to be associated with the outsider that had attacked the City. She had chewed more than she could swallow, and now she had to suffer, especially since the Tower Master had also escaped with Eren.
Since Eren had left the city, he didn't know the events that transpired after his departure. However, it was something that had sent shockwaves through the Capital.
Most of the Hellhound City Warriors were killed, including the Prince. Even more shocking was that most of the higher ups of the Hellhound City had died at the hands of the Second Primordial's Guards that he assigned to his sister.
The Hellhounds had truly gone crazy and tried to destroy the girl that they believed to be responsible.
Even if the Guards were strong, they were in Hellhound City. When the formations were activated, along with the traps, even the Princess' guards couldn't protect her completely.
The Hellhound Patriarch was truly going for the kill.
The Second Primordial also didn't stay behind. The moment he received a message from his sister, asking for help, he also became more active.
For the first time in centuries, the second Primordials had left the Capital. And when he descended on the Hellhound City, nothing was left behind.
After a long time, hell had seen the wrath of a Primordial Dragon. His flames rained down the city, taking the lives of everyone, including the innocent people who had nothing to do with it.
The Hellhound Patriarch couldn't do anything against a Primordial, especially against one of the strongest primordials.
Except the Princess and her people, not a single person was left alone in the city that had been turned into a barren land of death.
Even the Neighbouring Territory of the Nightwing Clan was also shaken. The Seventh Primordial was also about to arrive at the Hellhound Territory, following a trail of the Tower Master.
It was only when he sensed the presence of the second primordial, he quickly retracted, giving up on the outsiders.
Even if he desired a woman, he wasn't going to put his own life in danger to chase after her. The second primordial didn't have any good relationship with his brother in law either after all.
He returned to the Nightwing Clan and stopped chasing after the Tower Master and decided to return to the capital.
The Second Primordial had destroyed an entire city. He could feel that a storm was brewing. The other Primordials were also going to get active, especially his brother in law, the first primordial.
The long lasting peace in hell had been destroyed in an instant. And it was all because of an outsider, that the Draconian Princess wanted to bully into submission.
Instead, that outsider had screwed her and left her behind to take care of this mess on her own.
The girl was really regretting her decision of not stopping Eren right at the start. If only she had stopped him from killing the Hellhound Prince, it never would've happened. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret.
Her brother dragged her, and her followers back to the capital, not saying a single word to her throughout the way back.
....
Meanwhile, the person who had poured oil on the fire, was simply chasing after the Tower Master, unaware of the bad luck he was spreading everywhere in his path.
