Chapter 317.1
Naturally, no other members of the group were found in Odryf.
Although he had fought several battles, Isaac, who didn’t have to worry about leading troops or managing supplies, was the first to arrive. After all, he had death on his back and had come down practically as if he were being chased.
Even Nel was so irritated by exhaustion that Isaac, too, couldn’t help but feel drained.
At one point, he even thought about pretending to die and activating the ‘Agent of Chaos’ ability.
However, after seeing the Reaper’s scythe get shattered into pieces only to be restored again, it seemed that such an action wouldn’t be effective. There are times when killing is impossible. The Reaper, who embodied the very concept of ‘death’ that the Immortal Order sought to control, was one of those beings.
‘Besides, I don’t know what risks the Agent of Chaos might entail…’
It wasn’t too late to resort to such a high-risk measure after trying every other possible method. He could find out the true nature of the tax imposed on him through Shalok and Leonora.
‘First, I need to find Shalok.’
Bringing a dragon into a bustling city like Odryf would cause chaos, so Isaac had Nel stay at the coastal cliffs near Odryf. Even if Nel were to be spotted a few times from the sea, it would be dismissed as sailors’ tall tales.
