After the tragic downfall of the House of marbas at the hands of house Sylvester the young lord of House marbas is forced to take his father's life under the command of count Allen to Sylvester the lord of House Sylvester a rival Clan to house marbus it was a tragic day when the hands of young Lord Leon were stained by his own father's blood with the head of the family gone Leon marbos is now next in line to Become the new head of this declining family the same family which once revered as the best house of

necromancy now that he is the head of house marbus Leon is leading a conference with the other Nobles residing in house marba territory the Nobles raised their concerns about their rival house Sylvester who is steadily taking control of marbas territory day by day there's no telling when they might invade marbus territory completely one Noble insists Leon bolster their defenses as they continue their insistence leyon politely shuts them off urging them to practice patience especially since decisions like these require more time to consider but the Nobles persist believing that they are running out of time but

Leon strong believes that unwise decisions May Bode ill for his great House of marbus after the meeting ends Lyon reflects on how with the demise of his father Lord run Von marbas he Leon Von marbas Rose to The seat of patriarch of house marbas at the tender age of 14 house marbas was once feared as a powerful clan of necromancers though that reputation has long since faded into the annals of history since Leon lacks much experience in governing he wants to seek guidance he wonders what his parents would have done in a critical situation like

like this while Leon knows that his parents won't respond to his call for the dead tell no tales and his parents can offer No wisdom from Beyond the Grave he is still in sore need of guidance he longs to figure out how he might restore glory and prosperity to his house Leon walks to the office that once belonged to Wellen Von marbas the founding progenitor of house marbas who also held the title of the sole Necromancer of the continent during his time it is said that house marbus first rose to prominence because the original patriarch

made his name on the Battlefield however ever since the Heyday of their founding patriarch the lineage of marbas has struggled to produce another full-fledged Necromancer leading the family's Fortune down a path of Decline and as fate would have it Lyon was even forced to take his own father's life once inside the room Lyon picks up the book that Chronicles their lineage the founding marbus patriarch Wellen Von marbus was a near mythical figure with a wave of his hand he would Sweep away his foes like a lethal Tempest summoning waves of the undead in an unrelenting

death march in just two months the Eastern region had been subjugated under his Conquest it is said that Wellen Von marbas struck a pact with the devil marbas unlocking one of the continent's greatest Mysteries and secrets regarding necromancy and it was possible all through the dread Tome Necronomicon which granted him the power to rule as The Sovereign of the Continent and this book in front of leyon is the Necronomicon itself a Priceless heirloom passed down from their progenitor the very Tome that led to the rise of house marbus as the sole family of necromancers on

the continent as Leon opens the book he hears a commanding voice speaking to him startled Lon realizes this mysterious voice is telepathic but what puzzles him is how he's able to hear it especially since the patriarch's office is Surrounded by an anti-magic field nonetheless he responds wanting to know whom he's speaking to the voice Echoes ominously assuring him not to be afraid as it poses no threat to him or his kin Leon isn't sure if he should trust the words of something so mysterious that he can't even see suddenly Leon begins to drift into another

dimension it is then that a giant mythical lion materializes right before him the first thing Leon asks this creature is where exactly they Are hearing this the lion realizes that Lyon seems unaware of Mighty black Lion's existence which suggests that his predecessors likely never told him about such creatures the lion remembers lon's father run but it notices that the threat of Mana binding his father to the lion has been severed growling the lion remarks that run was such a kind-hearted man for the Lord of a dark house so his demise isn't all that surprising the

lion then asks Leon who dealt the Fatal blow to his father without hesitation Leon confirms that it was he who took his father's life this causes the lion to Roar in anger but before doing anything lethal to Leon the Lion asks him once again if he is the one who slew his oathbound contractor Lyon's response Remains the Same claiming that he is the one who ended his father's life the lion goes into a furious frenzy a dark and Crimson fluid strikes Leon through which the lion Peaks into to the Events of the past related to

Lon seeing how Lyon looks completely expressionless and dead pan before and after killing his father the lion realizes that Lyon has been stripped of his senses the hands that cut the rope of guillotine may have been lon's but that does not mean he is the one who killed his father however Leon insists that he is responsible for it and there is no point in denying this truth this is then that the black lion senses something more Profound in Leon than just despair he notices an ominous Aura radiating from him an aura so overwhelming that even

the great lion begins to cower like a kitten by now the lion has no doubt now that Lyon will surpass his ancestors the lion then gets a little humble and proceeds to introduce himself he claims to be marbus one of the 72 Demons of hell he is the one who turned his back on the Demonic realm and chose to exist alongside humankind instead his first Lifelong friend was Wellen Von marbas he also claims to be the source of the necromancy that became the unique art of house marbas hearing this leyon remembers that he's heard these

Tales before Leon already knows that when their progenitor founded house marbus this lion was the one who taught him the Forbidden art of necromancy the lion confirms this statement adding that he is now bound to the Necronomicon though he was a formidable demon before his Binding Lyon also recalls how their founding patriarch often told them that necromancy is in marbus blood so it makes no sense to Leon why marbas the great lion abandoned house marbus eventually the lion quickly senses the animosity Leon harbors and questions him about it Leon expresses is his concern since the

time of their progenitor house marbas has not produced a necromancer of his caliber the only reason Leon can think of is that the great lion Abandoned them the lion makes one thing clear the reason why Lon and his kin have been unable to wield the true might of a necromancer is that they are too weak to perform the role of a fitting vessel none of Well's descendants hold a candle to the sheer Talent Wellen possessed the only thing holding house marbus back is the decline in their bloodline after a moment of contemplation Lyon is ready

to acknowledge what the lion is saying After all it's been Nature's law that the strong Devour the weak this is one reason he doesn't feel much remorse about his father's passing especially since he had nothing special to offer that said leyon decides to take the burden of what his father was supposed to do onto his own shoulders since marbos the black lion claims he hasn't turned his back on them Leon requires this lion to do him a favor but the lion reminds our boy that a favor is an act Of kindness where one party only

stands to make a loss being a demon the lion prefers a Packa or a rather than doing a favor in this case Leon decides to make a pact for the power of necromancy he further strikes a nail into the lion's ego by questioning whether this Mighty creature is even capable of granting such power the lion acts somewhat annoyed at Leon throwing shade over his capabilities for the lion the most important question is whether Lon is Even capable of wielding such magnificent power leyon doesn't hesitate to confirm this he feels more than entitled had he been

some talentless peon he would never have been permitted to exchange with a lofty demon such as this black black lion it is said that ordinary folk need only converse with a demon before they are robbed of all Mana suffer hallucinations and ultimately lose their life the fact that Lon remains standing means he must possess At least some modum of potential to be worth the attention of this great lion the lion admits that Lon is certainly not ordinary he also seems to possess a measure of grit to boot with this in mind the black lion is

ready for the pact however since it's a PCT Lyon will have to offer something in return Lon is willing to offer anything the lion desires and asks what the Lion's price may be the lion laughs before boldly demanding that he need every facet of Lyon's being this demand comes as music to Leon's ears as he is more than willing to surrender every part of his meager existence to a Mighty Demon like marbus the scene then cuts to a conference between all of marba household Nobles the only person absent is our boy partly because of the

fact that he was not invited The white-bearded Man known as Sir keraw speaks his concerns to his fellow Nobles he boldly declares how Lord leyon Commands little authority to make decisions of grave importance that affect the entire house he is sure that his other fellows agree with this assumption as well the others stay quiet and their silence is a sort of confirmation to his point in this case sir kernal plans to take charge of all matters concerning the house for the foreseeable future he believes he should be in charge because he is the uncle of

Lord Lyon which makes him the closest Kin of the current patriarch with that he gives the others the chance to speak if anyone has a problem with him taking the position as Steward of the house one man quickly supports sir Turnell believing it would be unwise to oppose him given that the alternative is a mere pup who hasn't even come of age yet he certainly doesn't want to leave crucial decisions up to an unworthy child like leyon slowly but surely the others vote for sir kernal to take control of family Affairs for now but one

Fat Man shows his disapproval he believes that Lord leyon is the only direct descendant of the previous patriarch and there is no precedent in their family history for appointing the next patriarch in violation of direct lineage in response one man glares in disapproval he believes that what good is lineage when their entire family might be wiped out the armies of those Sylvester brigands are Marching against marbus as they Speak while he does recognize the fatty concerns about Birthright it's all pointless when they're all going to die following an incompetent blindly but the fat man continues

to disapprove of his friends actions he believes that every last one of them sitting here is only because they were granted a place at this table by the grace of his late lordship so everyone here owes it to the house to fight to the very last even if the sitting patriarch has yet to gather His own faction the fat man will not stand by and watch his uncle sir kernel take Leon's rightful place as Heir by the way this fat man's name is Pullen and he seems to be a loyal follower of the previous patriarch

at this sir kernel stands up acknowledging how the current patriarch seems to have at least one loyal follower Pullen tells sir kernel to cut the crap and come clean about what he really wants to say Sir kernal snaps back with a sharp tone as Loyal as Pullen may be Kernow believes he lacks the shrewdness to see that it's a done deal he walks walks over to pin and places his hand on his shoulder exuding a menacing Aura while threatening pin to think before speaking he reminds him that everyone is gathered here for one purpose alone

to make an unsavory choice that would nonetheless be the least of all evils for the house so He suggests that the fat man avoids standing in the way of their survival Because one wrong decision could lead to everyone's Slaughter we then cut back to the black lion and Lyon in their intense negotiations the lion speaks of how with this change in the subject of The Pact the true extent of his power has been curtailed he also recalls how soft and naive Leon's father run was as his contractor his father possessed a far greater Mana Reserve

than Lon does now speaking of Mana Leon remembers that any demon who makes a pact with a human must Draw magic energy from their contractor to replenish their own Reserve so Leon questions the lion about what he's going to do in this situation the black lion snaps his fingers and transforms into a cute little puffy cat claiming that this will be less draining to maintain Leon is relieved that with this new form the black lion will be easily mistaken for an adorable pet instead of a terrifying demon being called an adorable pet does not sit

well with the lion so he gives Leon a deadly glare exuding a threatening Aura for calling him that anyway the lion decides that it's finally time for them to proceed with the next step Leon is confused and curious asking what comes next the black lion questions Leon in response wondering if he has forgotten that he wanted to obtain strength that would rival even their progenitor Lon admits that he does indeed want that power the lion reminds him that the the only way To acquire that power and Ascend to the same Heights as their progenitor is

to follow in his footsteps so they will be making their Journey to the hidden Shrine of the progenitor but before they begin the journey the lion warns Lyon that it may claim his life so he wants to know if Lyon still consents Leon simply gives this clueless expression upon hearing How the Lion continues to undermine his resolve anyway the lion begins to walk on his Tiny Paws to lead The way after their short Journey leyon finds himself traversing through the thick forest the Mist Woods of house marbus if I have to be specific the black

lion reveals that this Forest can be an inscrutable Labyrinth for those who are not Of The marbus Bloodline Leon seems to already have a clue about this because his father had told him that only the rightful patriarch May set foot inside the secret Shrine itself but there's still something that doesn't Make sense to leyon if this place was supposed to Grant his predecessors the power of necromancy why has house marbus failed to produce successful necromancers the lion reveals the reason behind it not a single one of them had been able to pass the trial this

is the most fundamental requirement if one is to walk the path to acquiring great necromancy power no one to date has been able to satisfy this first condition and make it through the fog once they arrive At the designated location the lion raises his tiny paw signaling Leon to stop this is where they are about to begin their trial the trial is simple Lon has to descend into the mines but before venturing deep into the Uncharted territories the lion makes it clear that he would not be able to lend any helping hand this will be

a test of lon's metal the lion promises one last piece of advice he urges leyon to follow the Necronomicon instructions at all times Especially since it holds the key to the power Leon seeks the power of necromancy as leyon Ventures deeper he suddenly comes across the green creatures we commonly call goblins but these goblins aren't the only thing here there's also a lady captured by these bastards who seem to take pleasure in tormenting women at that moment the Necronomicon reacts it claps then opens and the scene focuses on a verse written on one of its

Pages the verse says the path to Mastering necromancy begins with the secret to reanimating the dead meanwhile the Goblins are ready to attack Leon he notices another verse encouraging him to take the lives of the living to start his journey since he's supposed to follow the Necronomicon commands Leon un sheathes his blade and Stands Tall against the Goblins who quickly charge at him with their weapons Lon swings his shortsword cutting down one of the Goblins right away which counts as his First kill the scene then takes us to the past where Leon stands alongside his

father in a cemetery his father wants him to listen carefully to what he's about to say in the great House of marbas his father reminds him that the entity most revered by their Clan is death itself the marbus house is a clan of necromancers with dominion over the undead for them reversing death is held in the highest regard at that moment leyon wonders if reversing death is even Possible he had always thought that necromancers had to take lives to gain power whether they wanted to or not his father affirms that the dark Mages are feared

by many across the continent however that doesn't mean they must be become heartless villains his father asks Leon to promise that no matter who he faces in battle if he holds power over life or death he will make their end as peaceful as possible this question lingers in lon's mind and Sometimes he finds himself questioning whether he still has to keep his word with every foe he encounters back in the present as leyon stands surrounded by these filthy creatures that same question echoes in his mind after all he doesn't believe that creatures as vile as

these deserve anything less than a painful death but the most humane way to deal with them he decides is to aim for the cervical vertebrae with deadly Precision it's the quickest way to end Them with the least amount of pain meanwhile the black lion is simply amazed after witnessing our boy snag his first kill effortlessly while it doesn't seem like Lon has much experience with a sword he struck the vertebra with Godly accuracy For a Moment The Lion King considers that it might have been luck or maybe a natural gift but with more goblins charging

the black lion knows he'll soon find out we shift our Focus back to Leon in the back of his mind Even he believes that his recent kill was more luck than skill he's sure it's going to be a challenge fighting these green creatures after all goblins are shrewd and devious by nature and to make matters worse the visibility is poor it's going to get even darker as he continues to slay one Goblin after another he notices that the torch flickers out with each Goblin he kills he realizes he needs to get used to the darkness

while he still can instead of Cutting through the enemy he shifts his Focus to piercing and dislodging with Precision he starts his killing spring and with each Goblin he takes down one more fire flickers out while it's getting dark Leon's eyes are adjusting so he can see well enough now the only concern on his mind is the condition of his dagger which is taking damage from the clashes but he didn't expect much more from a ceremonial blade suddenly a goblin leaps into the air to strike him But Lyon quickly retaliates by throwing his blade at

the charging opponent slicing its cheek seeing how Leon just discarded the only weapon he had catches the black lion off guard it's insane to think he just discarded his weapon in the middle of the fight but the reason Leon threw his sword was simple he wanted to grab a bigger sharper blade once he has it he swings it with deadly Precision slashing the Goblin and ending the threat with the danger neutralized He walks toward the Damsel in Distress and begins untying her the woman is immensely grateful finally rescued by a hero straight out of a

fairy tale but the ending of her story is not so sunshine in roses before the woman can even finish expressing her gratitude Leon pierces her right in the middle of the chest the moment his blade lands Leon is reminded of a piece of advice his father once gave him he spoke of monsters with the ability to mimic human Beings which he had encountered during his travels across the continents Leon stabs her again mercilessly causing her to groan in pain the reason for this unexpected second stab are once again his father's words he had specifically told

Leon that those who deceive and exploit the trust of others do not deserve a peaceful death they must experience the same fear and despair their victims felt and so Leon believes this woman deserves to learn that lesson Through suffering as he begins his torture her screams echo through the dungeon with her death the last torch is extinguished the scene shifts to a hotel where dancers are performing and Sir Kile is running the show surrounded by women sir kill is having a blast fully convinced that the marbus household will soon be under his command the woman

to his left is equally confident thinking a gentleman like sir Kel is far more suited for the role of head of the Household than a baby-faced boy like leyon the girls around them continue to flatter him and Sir kall is enjoying the praise he believes he's the Lesser evil compared to Lyon who would drag house marbus to Extinction sir Kel is certain that his rise to power is the best thing for the house while this [ __ ] ass having a laughter full of joy the brown-haired man wonders how they'll deal with Lyon the people

of the estate were fiercely loyal to Lyon's Father which could make It harder to dispose of him but sir Kel reassures him promising that he already has a plan he will make Leon's demise seem justified after the fact since dead men tell no Tales framing Leon with lies will be easy the brownhair man is glad to hear this after all the last time anyone heard from the dead man was centuries ago when the founding patriarch wielded the power of necromancy with a toast they celebrate the success they believe is Coming meanwhile we cut to Lord

Allen to Sylvester of house Sylvester he's questioning his men about the progress of their plan to subjugate marbas one of his men reports that sir kall is essentially a pawn working under house Silvester now they just need the official approval for allout Warfare from the Imperial household count Allen is thoroughly enjoying himself he finds it laughable that house marbus is under the impression that their enemy won't Launch an attack when it hasn't been long since the first conflict Allen's Lackey shower him with praise acknowledging that none of this would have been possible without their leader

remarkable foresight he also makes sure to give credit to Sir kall who in Allen's eyes is playing right into his enemy's hands to think that the centuries long history of house marbus will end at the hands of a short-sighted traitor it's almost too entertaining for Count Allen he orders his men to hasten the preparation count Allen feels like he's on a streak of Good Luck first that fool of a father who got his head chopped off by his own son now the son himself will be next but little does he know the lamb he's talking

about is preparing to turn himself into a literal goat back in the dungeon Leon has just finished off the last of the monsters and the dungeon is pitch black with all the Torches snuffed Out this means she was the last monster he needed to kill just as he says this the Torches reignite much to Leon's relief the black lion meanwhile is absolutely thrilled to have le as his contractor he leaps over Lyon causing him to fall into the pool of blood the lion is driven by the power leyon possesses enough to wipe out an entire

Camp Of Orcs single-handedly he's amazed that not only did Lyon see through the monster's disguise but he also pierced It seemingly indestructible body while Leon appreciates the compliment he'd rather avoid confronting Orcs as he's been told they despise humans above all else still the black lion is fascinated by how leyon managed to see through the disguise he wants to know how he did it the answer Leon thinks is simple when all the other torches went out one remained lit the key thing was that the light of that torch was a different color it was green

the color of the Dead With each monster he killed the Torches flickered out one by one and sure enough the last torch stayed lit until the end that was enough of a hint for Lon to realize the woman was a monster in Disguise and he killed her accordingly the black lion is even more excited now normally he wouldn't expect a boy so young to deduce so much under such dire circumstances when one's life is at AK it's difficult enough to read the situation let alone spring into action Without hesitation and yet Leon did exactly that

dispatching all the enemies by himself without a hitch by using sheer brains while the black lion was initially concerned about Lyon's Mana reserves he now believes that one's potential shouldn't be measured solely by Mana capacity he's certain that Lon is hiding something special something extraordinary that excites him even more he's now looking forward to seeing what new tricks Leon might show next now that Lyon has completed his first trial it's time to move on to the next his first task was to take the life of a living being and now that he has succeeded the

Necronomicon instructs him to raise the Fallen thinking about it leyon can only interpret this as needing to create Undead from the Goblins he just slaughtered and with that he is about to take his first true step toward becoming an undefeated Necromancer this realization excites him beyond measure Leon uncovers the path of necromancy laid before him the little furball of Doom and destruction implores him to gaze towards the defeated goblins before for directing a column of Mana into his vision this will then allow a path of threads to weave and attach themselves to the bodies following

those instructions Leon successfully manages to find and connect each thread to the Goblins these threads are known as death lines they hover over the bounds of Death each thread linking the soul from this world into the next World marbus explains that a necromancer's specialty lies in separating the souls from the bodies of the Dead confirming the extraction ritual and after imbuing those Souls with their own Mana The Necromancer successfully commences the reanimation magic this is quickly showcased as the Goblins resurrected with a dark Aura bounded by a Crest on top of their heads marbus gives

him a Visual representation by using one of the Goblins to attack leyon only to stop the Goblins attack at the last second the demon labels this part of the process as branding and while there were multiple ways of resurrecting the undead this particular method favored on Monsters the demon promises to delve into the details of other forms of necromancy later on Lyon takes a stand Having learned something new from the tutorial now it's his turn to fully Repeat the process but before that a question lingers in his mind referencing his predecessor's words Leon talks about

how it is way more complex to resurrect a Human Instead of a monster right now he's curious to know if he's at the level where he can safely resurrect a human into one of his Undead Warriors to that marbus wonders if he requires the ability to be in his Arsenal Leon confirms inviting a snarky taunt from the demon who wonders which human will Become a victim of lon's magic as it turns out Leon declares the man's name as Kel his one and only Uncle the traitorous bastard seeking control of the family returning to kall's perspective

we see him badmouthing Lyon's father regarding him as a fool who didn't know any better he thinks of himself as an opportune man one who is set on a path of greatness after his brother's own demise now the only thing left is to take care of the boy as the Family's direct Heir any sane man would feel guilty perhaps even grief stricken to imagine the thought of killing his own nephew but this guy is equivalent to garbage believing that it shouldn't pose any trouble to him at all in fact he wants this moment to be

one of Celebration instead of sulking but as they're cheerily enjoying their drinks a loud Rumble grazes across the structure the chandelier snaps and crashes right in the middle startling the group as a Whole kcha takes a moment to process what was going on none of them could believe that the establishment could experience such a strong Quake especially when it was enchanted by a magical artifact kall's eyes Dart away as he gestures to his party to remain quiet using his voice he questions the Intruder hiding mocking the man for attempting to take his life Leon's voice

Echoes back taunting his uncle for having such ridiculous ideas his Amber Eyes staring at the man coldly from a distance kcha considers the boy nothing more than a useless young patriarch of a destroyed household he gestures to his men to take care of the boy but Leon's standing on business dude straight up tells this old man to respect him as the family's patriarch Kel questions why the boys come here at a late hour Leon coldly claps back stating that he doesn't need an appointment to see one of his subjects even taunting Kel for His ego

Kel now physically peeved Roars at the boy for deeming himself as a worthy patriarch capable of leading the family he wonders if Leon is afraid that his precious seat will soon be taken away from him the sniveling rat thinks that it's far too late to worry about such things as the boy's father's already dead and no one can protect him anymore lifting the veil Lyon argues that he perfectly understands he's the only one who can protect himself kcha Laughs at the boy for arrogantly coming here alone challenging his uncle at the cost of his own

life our boy immediately corrects him he never said anything about coming alone after all Kel doesn't get what nonsense he's on about when suddenly the ground beneath him rumbles Kel's body fidgeting and questioning what form of sorcery is being used he can sense the terrifying sensation of Darkness he refuses to believe the sight of the undead before him this is Necromancy and he knew that far too well the scumbag mutters his confusion not even his brother the late patriarch and Leon's father could harness such a death-defying ability after all Leon emphasizes that house marbas shared

a richer history of necromancy in the past regardless of the situation turning against him kcha foolishly orders his men to defeat the undead goblins at once they collectively lunge forth attempting to defeat the Goblins the moment one of Their blades is about to reach our boy face an undead Goblin counters by clashing against the man's weapon shocking him greatly with his weapon deflected the man is left left wide open to be attacked by a second Goblin he meets his end when the blade slices across his abdomen taking away his life as his body hits the

ground Kel's face looks great right now this dude is pissing his pants the rest of the undead goblins march on to take down the Remaining guards slaughtering them whole seeing this abominable sight take place the traitorous scumbag can't help but think that he's facing a psychopath the Goblins tear apart Kel's men yet he stands there unable to piece together his thoughts this massacre is something he's never seen before it's really true it really is true that Lyon was commanding necromancy fueled with anger and fear kcha wonders how this development could have possibly taken Rote preparing

a sphere of black in his hand he Roars at the boy for making a mockery of the founding Patriarchs true powers to this Leon taunts him questioning what was so wrong about the true patriarch of the family to be able to wield such sorcery unable to withstand his words kcha calls his explanation [ __ ] as necromancy is long considered a lost art something not even the boy's father could man iate the bastard's ego can't accept the fact that A child much younger than him was able to command such a powerful ability deciding to hold

Merit to his words leyon gestures his hand before warning kcha that he's making a major mistake at this moment he orders his Goblin servants to Lunge forth and attack kall this guy is literally getting jumped jiujitsu kaisen style and with what little power he has he releases the sphere of black incinerating the Goblins upon impact Kel's attack may have seemed Like it did some damage but it mattered little to the goblin Corpses who merely recovered from the injury and resumed their mindless attack the sleazy old bastard couldn't do anything so he begged his men for

help but when he looked back his eyes were filled with despair dead bodies rolled on the ground each lifeless as the next as his last resort kcha cursed underneath his breath and released a bunch of attacks of course in this situation his control Over magic was only above average long story short he can't do [ __ ] in this situation Kel turns to persuasion stating that the boy will suffer consequences for betraying him like this Leon ignores his uncle's whining and just sends one of his goblins to stab his chest the blade connects cleanly causing

kersel a jolt of searing pain his blood spilling on the ground he attempts to fight back using his magic but his control and predictions quickly Fade as his last resort he deems the boy a traitor for attacking one of his own Leon drifts off to a related tangent a memory he once shared with his father regarding the history of the continent Leon understands that every land has its own Victors and the NS vanquished and it's only matter of time before their roles are switched Kel thinks the kid is wasting his time lecturing him but leyon

continues his speech claiming that while he may be emotionless and cold in his Methods there is one thing he did learn from a book in Leon's words forgiveness is a right only bestowed upon the Victor and kall was once that Victor too however he ended up betraying the patriarch for the pursuit of his own power but things have changed now the bitter truth stabs kall but our boy continues to spit facts and logic against a dead man's incoming Doom he doesn't even bestow A Farewell upon his traitorous uncle and desperately hopes That kall suffers all

the way to his next life vowing to celebrate this day every year Leon intends to punish kall by taking away his life in mere moments the Goblins swing their weapons at the old man his life painfully ending with an agonizing scream with this guy dead marbus is a little impressed by our boy's psychotic methods he's rather impressed that a newbie Necromancer has the ability to wield its powers with such Precision it's as if Lyon has the Experience of a decade behind his back to that the protagonist reaches an exciting Enlightenment a plan that even terrifies

the demon furball the scene switches to an urgent meeting of the council where some Nobles are confused why Kel has demanded yet another summoning from them they can't figure out why he's being overly annoying as of late while one Baldhead believes that this meeting has to pertain to an urgent matter for being called on such short Notice they amuse the responsibility of the Silvester house breaking the peace treaty and striking house marbos while they're at their weakest not everyone believes the same because breaking a major treaty like that would be a bold move from the

opposing house the war can't continue without the permission of the clan heads either so they ultimately decide to sway away such doubts and await kall's arrival well someone does arrive but it's not kall it's a young Boy whose every step haunts the council members and bolts them into a state of contemplation they can't fathom why Lon is here when the meeting was called by his uncle it doesn't make any fathomable sense for leyon to appear in his uncle's place our boy wastes no time and immediately calls out the elephant in the room he knows they

were expecting to see their uncle and he has some rather exciting news to share kirchel won't be attending the meeting particularly Because he's out of commission and can't attend the meeting seeking further clarification one of the council members begs for an explanation Leon calmly takes his seat before declaring kill's death sending Shivers across the room he even goes as far as to confirm that he took his uncle's life and with that clarified Leon amuses if any one of them has something to say regarding his decision this man is the unquestionable king of sass wherever he

goes slamming The table one of the council members Roars his complaint demanding a proper reasoning to kill the senior Elder of the house they don't want Leon to do whatever he wants as a patriarch psych [ __ ] that's exactly what he's about to do he calls kall a traitor bearing the family name a man who turned against the patriarch and even sold critical information to the opposing house this man dared to claim Leon's position as the rightful head of the clan but apart From that what really amuses Leon is how fast these guys are

sucking kcha dick they're defending him with strong opposition after all the council members were called under kall's command and since he's not around the only logical conclusion is that Lyon's words must be true they can't believe that kcha was defeated by a second rate brat with no experience instead of wallowing in his loss they understand the gravity of the situation at hand one council member is Smart enough to take Lyon's immediate side kissing his ass because he suspects that the young patriarch has come under the possession of some new power the rest of the council

members follow suit blaming Kel's traitorous acts all of a sudden Leon doesn't want to hear a word from these double-faced [ __ ] and renders them guilty of committing a crime their crime is that they failed to turn over a traitor hiding amongst their ranks the council members are Experiencing 15 heart attacks every second knowing that this kid is outplaying them in every argument they counter Leon requesting for evidence behind the boy's punishment as if to accuse him of committing murder without reason the young patriarch expresses that he's already come prepared for that to show

them some proof of words he demonstrates the Betrayal of Kershaw he uses necromancy to call forth The Souls of the Damned causing goblins to summon From Beyond this realm the council members are befuddled shocked to see him commanding necromancy Before Their Eyes among those resurrected Kel's body Rises before them Leon calls for his name the man's zombie-like body just holding itself together in one piece then he orders the deceased traitor to confess his crimes the council members keep asking the same boring question and lon's done answering it over and over again it's simple logic to

him that Necromancy is a magic practiced by The Heirs of house marbus the Goblins Roar at the council members causing them to flee the scene but before these [ __ ] can even Escape their seats one of them already hits the ground his head severed from his shoulders another one drags his pitiful body across the floor his legs severed Leon doesn't have time for mercy and concludes that this meeting is far from over he uses Kel's corpse as the object of their demise the undead human Rises before his master his mouth open wide Leon asks

again questioning if the council members shared involvement in the traitor acts the mummified body of the deceased man speaks nothing but the truth every single one of the council members were responsible for bringing down the patriarch they all knew he was a traitor Who Sold information having confirmed that Leon is content with his decisions Blondie over here thinks he's special and begs to be spared the same Goes for the other bastards all begging for a second chance Leon serves them Poetic Justice making his goblins tear apart their flesh with the council eradicated Leon fully Embraces

his powers of necromancy as the true patriarch of the marbus house their long lost ancient power finally restored Leon stands over the lifeless bodies of the slain Consul members with his Necronomicon floating ominously at his side he surveys the aftermath of his Work before turning his attention to a servant trembling in the shadows without hesitation he demands to know the whereabouts of pen the servant shaken by the Bloodshed nervously reveals that Poland is being held in the dungeons Below on a charge of sedition upon hearing this Leon orders the servant to lead the way as

he steps toward the door he looks at the remaining servants and soldiers warning them that they are free to flee if they wish but if they choose To stay he will not be held accountable for what happens next he leaves trusting that they will make the right decision at house Sylvester a man approaches Allen and hands him a letter Allan takes it and reads slowly with a hint of relief appearing in his eyes the letter brings news that the imperial household has turned against house marbas which excites him the man remarks that it was expected

as house marbus has nothing to offer and the Manpower they do have is Useless Allan agrees and orders his men to proceed as planned confident that house marbus will fall after a month he then asks if the man is prepared for the task to which he confidently replies that he is still he ensures that his men are fully prepared for what lies ahead his strategist amused by Allen's certainty jokingly remarks that the only true threats to their success would be the sudden appearance of a powerful Necromancer or the impossible Resurrection of House marbus Long dead

founder the remark only strengthens Allen's confidence in the dungeons of house marbus Leon finds Pullin locked in a Cell the moment Pullin sees him he begins pleading and apologizing admitting that he allowed Kel's dark Ambitions to take rot which ultimately put Lyon in danger overcome with guilt he insists that he deserves death for his failure however Leon sees things differently Poland was the only one who Opposed caral proving his loyalty and making him a valuable recruit with that Leon orders him to rise stating that there is much to be done and that he requires pullen's

service pin is shocked questioning what kind of service leyon could possibly need from someone like him Leon noticing the swarm of flies circling Pullen merely tells him to wash himself and meet him in his office where they will discuss the details pen eagerly agrees pledging his loyalty As Leyon Leaves as night falls Leon stands by his window gazing outside while marbus in his Kitty form perches on his shoulder lazily grooming himself the cat breaks the silence asking about Lyon's next move Leon pauses lost in thought until Pullin finally arrives to pullen's astonishment Lon presents a

bold plan impersonating carcha to deceive house Sylvester Pullin immediately voices concern pointing out that pulling off such an impersonation convincingly would Be nearly impossible but Leon has other methods without hesitation he summons a doppelganger which morphs into Cara's exact appearance right before Pen's eyes stunned pin can hardly believe what he's witnessing Leon has just summoned an Undead minion with ease he had heard the rumors about lon's abilities but seeing this firsthand makes him realize just how powerful The Necromancer truly is still doubts linger in pullen's mind though the doppelganger May resemble Caral perfectly controlling it

convincingly enough to fool house Sylvester is another matter entirely he nervously expresses his concerns fearing that their deception will quickly be uncovered according to pen the undead has no way of perfectly replicating a person's speech pattern handwriting or behavior however this isn't just an Undead it is an illusion created by a creature known as a doppelganger which Leon managed to find unlike ordinary Undead this doppleganger is capable of not only mimicking someone's appearance but also retaining their memories and personality to demonstrate its abilities the doppelganger channels Cara's magic stunning Pullin with its accuracy Leon then

recalls the moment he first encountered the creature in the dungeon while searching for a book at the time the doppelganger had taken the form of a woman after killing it leyon had demanded its name to which Mar bu Revealed that it was called a doppelganger an entity capable of replicating a person's appearance personality and even abilities at the time it had been mimicking a traveler it had slain along with her companion hearing this leyon had begun to formulate a plan without hesitation he had used his necromantic magic to raise the doppelganger body from the ground

once a minion of the founder of house marbas the creature now belonged to his Descendant after all these decades it had finally returned to its rightful Master this demon Instagram BD is pissed as hell while Lon glances over his contractor acknowledging marbus favoring him over her the demon warns him that the creature there facing is capable of transforming into any Target a necromancer has encountered the only condition being she can't transform into a Target more powerful than the Caster marbus reminds our boy dearly that he Better act humble because he's still too weak despite trapping

his uncle's Soul into his arsenal of soldiers marbus expresses that the human soul will eventually return to nothingness that's why the demon recommended that he stay away from the matters concerning house marbas since he didn't have a permanent solution to the problem but Leon opposed this strongly arguing that he wouldn't betray his bloodline the moment he leaves the family innocence of the Estate will be slaughtered by members of the Sylvester family the demon furball wonders if he's so selfless to wager his own life for the sake of others as heartless as Lon is he's ready

to die for his family's sake the demon thinks he's being loyal to a fault for little to no reason at all instead of choosing to focus on that he addresses the more pertinent matter at stake a purple fantasm emerges before them with marba suggesting he resurrect the creature and Use it to his Advantage Leon questions if he knows this creature turns out This one belongs to the founding patriarch's collection of the undead with Lyon's current condition it will be a great help for him so long as he can deal with its anger issues that is

without further Ado the boy issues the incantation causing the fantasm to materialize into an almost human-like form it glares at its Master before getting hard tackled by the demon furball for returning to Its newest contractor the creature has just revived and he's already bullying the thing Leon sees their little argument go down the creature thinks for a moment before reaching a conclusion bro literally copies the fireball Jutsu hand signs from the Uchiha Clan before mimicking the appearance of Leon it also bites back against marbas causing him to become shocked at its boldness all of a

sudden there are two Lyons in the room identical in appearance sharing another Council meeting pen recommends that they could use the mimicking ability to recreate kch imitation down to the smallest habits he's more than confident that this trick will work in an Espionage Mission Against The sylvesters It's a Wonderful recommendation and to Leon's liking pull in requests asking one final question for clarity referencing the fact that the sylvesters will try to secure support from the Royal household he questions why the Patriarch is so adamant in defending house marbus even though fleeing would guarantee a much

better chance of his own Survival it's the same suggestion that the demon marbus gave him but Leon believes he's got a firm duty to uphold to protect the household hearing this answer pin is determined to serve the patriarch until his dying breath though he's confused what motivates Leon to go to such lengths for his family it's a good question as Leon himself had Pondered the same for a while while he isn't exactly a noble hero of Justice or anything all he cares about is becoming a worthy head of the household which is why he has

to prove his worthiness to the throne for now the answer to his resolve remains shrouded in mystery but that's also the reason he's delaying his plans in order to to consolidate an answer with his actions right now in order to achieve that goal he must first eliminate those who threaten the Peace Of house marbus the boy refuses to follow in his father's naive footsteps and believes he will one day discover an answer for himself his reason to fight after the meeting Leon meets Crow as his doppelganger this is literally just Among Us at this point

the creature continues to insult its Master marbus the demon furball gets double teed when both Lyons Corner him in an argument Crow is the last inheritance left by the founding patriarch to his successor now That lon's acquired a powerful servant an assassin with cunning abilities he could execute many missions with ease Crow's specialty is killing and his second specialty is of course berating the demon cat who continues to get annoyed by his slander Leon confirms that he requires much needed assistance from Crow's abilities he wants him to mimic sir kall his late Uncle Crow believes

it should be a piece of snake when the correct phrase is a piece of Cake in any case Leon thinks his version of the phrase is way cooler and better their Petty argument comes to a close when Pand knocks and enters the room informing the patriarch of a letter sent by the sylvesters in his name curious to read its contents he opens the letter learning how the sylvesters are slandering house marbus for abandoning their duties for well over a century now in order to punish house marbus for torturing its subjects for the sake of Its

own Amusement the sylvesters have assumed rightful leadership under count Allen to Sylvester's orders a direct declaration of war between house marbus and house Sylvester they even offer a condition to spare house marbus and habitants if they aim for an early surrender but upon Declaration of these terms the Sylvester Army will annihilate the duy of marbas in a time span of 1 month the Royal Emperor will be backing them and count Allen Sylvester shall Lead the charge concluding the letter [ __ ] is about to get real still they have one month to prepare for some

reason leyon is unafraid to meet the challenge marbus confirms that while they do have time to spare they should use that to escape and gather their forces to fight another day Leon corrects the demon cat hinting a use of his romancy powers and stating that he's not even going to wait for the month to end marbus thinks this nutcase has Completely lost his marbles by now he can't face an Army in hundreds it's a threat far more overwhelming than dealing with one lousy scumbag of an uncle the demon cat questions if he's still ready to

face them with such insane odds hearing that Leon Smiles believing they'll all be okay after all he's going to stop being merciful from now on and unleash literal hell upon his enemies in the town rumors of Kira's disappearance spread like wildfire with Villagers Whispering that it was a dark Omen especially coming so soon after the death of their old Lord just a few months ago concern grows for Lyon as many believe he must be devastated having now lost the last of his surviving kin after his father's passing however one of the men assures the others

that he has confidence in Lyon and believes he will manage just fine despite everything the town's people remain hopeful unaware that the Sylvester Army is closing in on them having already declared war as they talk Poland interrupts warning them to control their tongues and stop spreading rumors when they turn they see Leon standing behind Pullen prompting them to Bow and quickly apologize insisting they were only engaging in small talk they also expressed their condolences to Leon for his uncle's supposed loss claiming it is truly tragic to lose someone so close however Leon corrects them stating

That his uncle is still alive but too ill to appear in public often he says this because he knows it is best to make them believe his uncle is still alive to keep them calm Turning Away Leon remarks that the villagers take his uncle's side a little too much in truth he says this as a tactic to deceive his uncle's allies he then orders Pand to silence anyone who witnessed the incident or is spreading false news about his uncle Pullen taking it as a direct order asks Why leyon came to the town center himself as

pen would have gladly conveyed his words however Lon insists on handling it personally as they reach the outside of the Town Center marbus begins sensing a strong Magical Force emanating from within upon entering Leon orders pull into to wait at the entrance until he returns Pullen agrees but expresses concern for his young Master's safety to which Lyon assures him that he will be fine and instructs him to seal The door behind him he does not want anyone to escape or enter the building with that Leon steps into a bloodstained chaotic room where chairs tables and

bottles are scattered about while a few people are busy cleaning up the mess among them Leon notices a boy with wolf ears and turns to marbus asking if this is the person he spoke of marbus confirms it the boy in question is muscular with wolf ears and an intense Aura of potent energy surrounding him Seeing him marbus grows excited remarking that the leyon household has always lacked an eye for spotting those with potential yet leyon has managed to find one walking toward him Lyon asks for a moment of his time but the boy instantly begins

apologizing explaining that there was a brawl at their place last night and asking if Lyon could return at another time suddenly a woman addressing the boy as vter kicks him forcefully apologizing to Lon and Insisting that they never intended for a beastman to greet him she follows up with another slap shouting at valter for speaking so casually to Lord marbus kneeling on the ground valter hurriedly apologizes explaining that he did not know who marbus was as he is new to the area ignoring the commotion Lyon firmly repeats his request asking for a moment of valter's

time the lady steps forward offering herself instead but Leon dismisses her revealing that his Business is specifically with wter according to the demon marbus the beastman boy possesses immense potential for grow growth making him an excellent candidate to join Leon's household meanwhile vter remains kneeling Frozen in shock at the realization that he is in the presence of Lord marbus house and had just spoken so casually to him suddenly to his astonishment Leon casts a spell that emits a dark smoke which begins to surround valter's body healing His wounds staring at his now recovered body valter

is left speechless but Lyon's patience is wearing thin once again he firmly asked for the boy's time hearing this the lady quickly apologized revealing that vter is her slave and if the young Lord wishes to speak with him he must ask for her permission instead observing her leyon suspects that she is unaware of his uncle's incident meaning he can be more open with her with a smile he asks her when his state began Allowing slavery and why she is addressing him by his childhood title the questions make the woman visibly uneasy as if she is

hiding something however Leon sees right through her releasing a powerful dark Aura he opens his Necronomicon calling her out for believing that he is Unworthy of becoming a king marbus is equally excited about taking the boy in and grows Furious that the woman dares to disrespect his contractor summoning his Necronomicon leyon reveals to the woman that he is also deeply concerned about her enslaving people he orders her to release any other slaves she may have giving her 10 minutes to comply or face punishment hearing this the woman grows visibly nervous but instead of showing fear

she lowers her head with a wicked smile mockingly she refers to Leon once again by his childhood title asking if he is truly prepared for what she has in store she then sarcastically apologizes For using the wrong title again however Leon remains unfazed ignoring her taunts he turns to valter who sits beside him scared and confused unsure of what leyon sees in him suddenly the woman snaps her fingers and all of her men surround Leon with their weapons drawn with a confident smirk she commands them to charge declaring that if something happens kirchel will support

them Leon however stands his ground completely unbothered as the attackers Rush toward Him he calmly raises his hand and uses his dark magic to summon Undead trolls as soon as they materialize the Monstrous creatures begin ruthlessly slashing through everyone in their path without Mercy witnessing the Carnage the woman is overcome with disbelief and growing fear in that chaos Leon walks up to one of his trolls and casually asks for its sword remarking that his own is too chipped to be of use the troll obediently hands him a blade and without Hesitation leyon joins the fry

cutting down the final few remaining enemies the woman still standing watches in shock struggling to comprehend how leyon has gained such immense power valter equally stunned remains silent sensing his confusion Lyon turns to him and States plainly that the only reason he spared his life is because valter will be essential to his cause in the future valter still can't comprehend why a man from a noble lineage would be speaking To someone like him he knows he is just a Drifter ignored across the continent yet leyon seems to want something from him since childhood valter had

been subjected to torture and Injustice treat treated as an outcast as a beastman he was seen as a harbinger of bad luck by the human children in his village who tormented him with Relentless beatings something he never quite understood he was just an innocent child and none of it made sense to him but one day when he Had endured enough something within him snapped he stood up for himself unleashing a powerful Aura of energy around him his thoughts ran wild as he recalled the faces of his tormentors and with a manic uncontrollable intent to kill

he slaughtered them all when he finally came back to his senses and saw the lifeless bodies scattered around him he couldn't believe what he had done fear gripped him fear of facing the truth fear that he had become the very Monster everyone claimed he was overwhelmed he ran away desperately trying to convince himself that he wasn't what they had always said he was returning to the present Leon walks toward the lady gripping the trolls knife as she nervously yells that carcha will not let this slide if he kills her channeling Dark Energy in his hand

Leon tells her that while he may not yet be worthy of the title of patriarch soon he will be and she has no place in his Estate with those words he hurls the Dark Orb at her killing her instantly as he turns away valter stands behind him watching nonchalantly he has just witnessed Leon take a life yet strangely he feels no fear in his presence this realization confuses him Leon steps closer with a smile and asks for valter's service before accepting valter wishes to ask a question without hesitation he shifts into his powerful form introducing

himself as a cub of the Demon wolf tribe the most insulted and shunned among all beastmen with raw emotion in his voice he asks how long his tribe must continue to live with such shame and guilt leyon meets his gaze and assures him that they will no longer have to endure such treatment though he admits he does not know much about their people he makes one thing clear if they have suffered from insult and Injustice then from this moment on he will not tolerate it he promises vter That he will be a trusted member of

his household sealing it with his words as Leon extends his hand valter begins to cry and accepts his invitation leyon noticing his silence asks if he should take it as acceptance through heavy sobs valter confirms stating that he will be glad to serve him no matter what meanwhile in the arim Empire estaban Emperor of arim sits on his throne while his son Louie stands beside him Louie addresses the man kneeling before them Demanding to know the reason for his summons the nervous Man reveals that he has brought a letter from house Sylvester this irritates Lewis

who sees being called over something as trivial as a letter as an insult he claims that his father will be enraged by such disrespect the man quickly apologizes pleading that his sole intention was to deliver the message with urgency as Crown Prince Lewis is currently the most powerful man in arim and the messenger Is clearly afraid of offending him however Lewis's irritation turns to Intrigue When the Man reveals that house Sylvester has warned of an attack on house marbos the messenger suggests that Louie take this opportunity to lend his support to Sylvester ensuring the downfall

of their common enemy Louie considers the proposal but but expresses concern house marbus has a history of necromancy making an open war against them a risky Endeavor the man reassures Him claiming that while house marbus once wielded powerful necromantic abilities neither the current Heir nor the previous leader possesses the potential to use such power effectively he adds that in contrast house Sylvester's Army has grown significantly stronger hearing this Lewis agrees and instructs the man to send a reply confirming arim support for house Sylvester removing a foe during such times is an opport they cannot afford

to Miss the messenger bows respectfully accepting the responsibility of delivering the message and swiftly departs as he leaves Louie Praises his father's rule crediting him for creating the conditions that will allow them to eliminate house marba so easily however as he speaks estabon remains silent with his cold expression unchanging and his wide eyes staring blankly Louie then lifts his father's lifeless body smirking as he proclaims that soon Everything will be his at house marbus inside Leon's office valter stands before him now dressed properly Pullen steps forward and places a pendant around valter's neck an artifact

of great significance pin explains that while leyon and the others consider valter a member of their house the common people will not be so accepting suddenly valter gasps in shock as his wolf ears vanish the moment he wears the pendant Pullen informs him that the Artifact is meant to conceal his beastmen identity as it could hinder Lyon's cause though confused valter ultimately agrees which brings a smile to Poland's face Leon who is been observing orders them to a meeting regarding pressing matters once gathered he declares that words alone are not enough so they all must

pledge their loyalty to him with more than mere promises with a piercing gaze he asks if they are truly prepared to devote their Undying allegiance to him hearing this Pand begins to cry swearing his loyalty to leyon with heartfelt and solemn words following his lead the doppelganger also pledges his Allegiance witnessing this marbus grows excited believing that both domination and subjugation are now on their side seeing everyone swear their loyalty vter follows suit however confusion strikes him when he notices Leon speaking not to them but to the table Leon remains unfazed and proposes Forming a

manab bound pact with them he makes it clear that refusing would simply mean they are unwilling to join him a manab bound pact converts the Mana of each participating party into a binding pattern forging an unbreakable bond this connection allows them to share secrets that neither can reveal to outsiders with everyone in agreement Lon initiates the process channeling dark magic into his hand he creates a portal in the ground a massive Surge of dark energy erupts from it followed by two monstrous demonic hands emerging clutching an ancient scroll as the scroll unfurls pin and valter

begin reading its contents at that moment the Monstrous marbas Reveals His True Form declaring himself the deity of the house and the demon from whom house marbas derives its name with a deep resonating voice marbus Chan the Pack's terms demanding their loyalty to the bond and proclaiming Leon as The Sovereign of the Undead they both stare in awe at the massive Beast towering before them as marbus looms behind Leon Leon introduces him to his trusted Ally and assures them that he is bound to treat them with respect in a deep monstrous voice marbus takes their

silence as acceptance and reveals that this pact will be sealed with their very Souls once bound they cannot break it Pand nervously assures him that they would never attempt such a thing in his mind however he is in Disbelief the demon marbus the very entity with whom the first Lord marbus made a contract is standing before them in that moment he finally understands why Lyon suddenly became such a powerful Necromancer an overwhelming pressure of Mana fills the room even though Poland and valter are naturally attuned to Mana they find themselves Frozen in place under the

weight of marbus 's immense presence Poland can't help but wonder what else leyon is capable of however as They focus on the Beast to their shock marbus suddenly transforms into a small kitten valter startled is about to question what just happened but pen quickly silences him by covering his mouth marbus notices and asks what he intended to say thinking quickly pin nervously responds claiming that valter was simply marveling at marbus 's immense size and structure as he had likely never seen such an awe inspiring sight before marbus accepts the Explanation but warns them not to

reveal his existence to anyone with war on the horizon knowledge of marbus could prove valuable to their enemies he further explains that his form is only visible to those who have made a contract with Lyon to anyone else he is completely invisible marbus then mentions that there are many who favor carall upon hearing that name valter suddenly recalls a past event he once saw carcha visiting his master's lady delivering a Letter to him hearing this marbus becomes excited realizing they have their next lead Leon inquires further but wter denies knowing anything about it however as

they left the pub earlier doppelganger took a treasure box with him as a spoil of War seeing this marbus recalls that doppelganger has always been greedy he explains to Leon that since they had eliminated every one in the pub doppelganger must have assumed he could take whatever he pleased Curious Leon examines the Box himself and discovers a letter inside with an already broken seal it appears they have found the very letter in question thanks to doppelganger greed after all leyon opens the letter and begins reading it aloud it is addressed to house marbas from house

Sylvester officially declaring war against them according to the letter house marbus has neglected its duty to serve Emperor arim which is considered a grave crime as a result House Sylvester has granted them one month to surrender otherwise they will declare war and Destroy anything that stands in their way the letter is signed by Allen the lord of House Sylvester upon hearing this both Poland and valter are shocked Leon however finds the situation amusing he reveals to marbus his idea of controlling the undead with his mind something he believes could be quite entertaining with that thought

they turn their attention to Doppelganger and Leon issues him a mission at the Sylvester Empire a messenger returns to inform Allan that he has delivered the War declaration to house marbus he also mentions that kall's expression upon seeing the letter was one of pure dread hearing this Allan laughs at the thought of betraying kall but orders his men to keep him alive believing him to be a useful idiot they feel that power in kall's hands is preferable to anyone else's so his Survival is in their best interest Allan then inquires about Lon to which the

messenger reveals that there is no particular news regarding him he speculates that leyon might have already been killed by kall Sylvester finds this thought amusing prompting the messenger to ask why he is so concerned about a mere 14-year-old boy in response Allan counters with a question of his own about what he thinks is the greatest Injustice Humanity has ever experienced The messenger hesitates nervously before admitting that he does not know Allan then reveals the answer facing an overwhelmingly strong foe from which There Is No Escape and watching as everything comes crashing down according to Allan

there can be no greater suffering than that he then asks the messenger what he would do in the face of such Injustice the messenger remains silent prompting Allan to add that his concern lies with the boy Leon who Possesses a talent that cannot be easily perceived by the naked eye the messenger remains skeptical doubting that the boy holds any kind of remarkable ability however Allan dismisses his doubts stating that Leon is Of The marbus Bloodline and nothing should be considered surprising when it comes to them the messenger ultimately agrees back at house marbus in Leon's

office the doppelganger has fully transformed into Lyon's exact likeness every gesture Every word it's all flawlessly replicated watching his double speak and move with such uncanny Precision leyon can't help but be impressed by the sheer Brilliance of the mimicry receiving the praise doppelganger smirks and turns his attention to marbas mocking him by claiming he has far more to offer than someone who spends their time as a mere kitten the insult barely settles before marbus launches into an attack witnessing the sudden Clash volter Furrows his brow in confusion he leans toward Poland and quietly asks if

things are always this chaotic there however p brushes him off telling him to keep quiet
