Chapter 413 Declaration

Eren had resorted to black

Layla snorted when she heard Eren's response and shook her head in denial as if she was expecting this She also knew that even though it was blacknore

"Sigh Alright Collect all the corpses in one place I'll also get to work We need to finish this faster We also ent work"

Saying that Layla took out a giant cauldron froe It was the same type and size of the cauldron she had iht and 5 meters in dia but he didn't waste ti all the corpses and the chopped off parts in one place near the cauldron He didn't forget to store the ID stones of his victims as well as their unique, army-issued weapons for himself as he did that

Layla's preparations were also done by this point First, she looked at the pile of bodies and body parts that were oozing everything they had ever contained A thick stench of blood was pers toShe nodded to herself after confirht

"Okay I'll take a few redients" You can do whatever you want till then"

Layla said to Eren and started throwing a few vials into the already existing mixture present inside the cauldron Then she used an unele her gaze to the pile of corpses and organs

One after the other, the corpses and other unidentifiable body parts levitated fro dropped inside the concoction When Layla was ensured that everything had gone inside, she took out the lid fro itson the cauldron herself The previously invisible runes over the artefact were illureen fire couldn't be called Enderfla close to it

Layla sat beside the cauldron and starteda few chants Initially, the runes were stretched out on the ground a feweffect

Eren saw all this and ca even though he was practically living his second life That's because he could barely understand what Layla was doing

But he understood one thing And that was the fact that Layla shouldn't be disturbed in the process So he decided to leave her to her devices and find someplace to relax

This was technically still thetowards the hour of twilight

Eren decided to take a walk

'Ifskills don't suck balls, there should be a cliff nearby'

Eren thought to hi Layla alone He didn't think he needed to worry about her safety anyway

With the way Layla was going, Eren was also sure that his identity would stay safe at this crime scene He wondered if the historians could even detect this place as a crime scene when Layla was done with it Layla's intricate setupnext to it

As his hands were covered in dry blood, Eren took out a Sativa stick before lighting it

He had returned to his normal appearance when he reached the cliff His clothes barely held onto his body And the light astheir job even e of the mountain cliff he careen wildlife spreading down below froht in front of hier than it was supposed to be White ht illuminated the valley below the cliff

Eren was able to reht He let them run free in his head

Soon, he would have to leave the duchy of Lionheart and enter the duchy of Nightshade So it was natural that all his thoughts were revolving around those changes

But even while having hts to process, Eren wasn't conflicted anymore The battle that had happened just now had been pretty helpful for him to see what he was supposed to see– the naked truth of the rankers' world

'I' in a peaceful place There's no peaceful place in this world as long as there are rankers and ht as he took a large drag of his siven hi further

'No scratch that

There's no peace as long as there are living people involved Rankers or not Mana or not Hus if we just dig deep within ourselves

Some of us know it And so aware of their true nature

Should I call theullible?

Hehehe'

Eren's thoughts then shi+fted to his past life which was full of es he had introduced in this timeline and their aftereffects as he smoked

Eren had a Most of his projects depended on the effective execution of soo there under the circuht now, but he had no choice

Then his ever-restlessthe heartache He felt even o
