Death... and me
chapter-2810

Everyone looked at that situation with weird expressions. Take a Leviathan away with him? What is it? Is he blatantly saying he wants to kidnap one of their members? Let's not forget the Leviathans still consider their bloodline to be sacred, so how could they accept it? Sure, they did start accepting other races and intermarriage, but that was only as long as such unions were watched by the Leviathan Race.

Floquei looked at who Roan brought with him and was surprised. "Isn't that Leeyan?"

Shock rippled through the other elders as they too laid eyes on the small Leviathan. 'It's really Leeyan...'

Seeing those reactions, Rean couldn't help but ask Roan through their Soul Connection. 'Is there something wrong with this guy?'

'Let's say this guy isn't seen with very good eyes in this Leviathan Race,' Roan mentioned before he gave a full, detailed explanation to Rean.

Leeyan was indeed a Leviathan, but he was considered a disgrace. The Leviathans now understand that they are quite weak compared to other experts because of the long time they spent isolated in this Dimensional Realm. Leeyan was even worse, though. Leeyan was definitely the weakest of his generation, and that wasn't just a little. He couldn't defeat Leviathans much younger than him.

If that was all, it wouldn't be a big problem. Not everyone was born to be a fighting machine. But Leeyan wasn't just weak. He was afraid of literally everything. He had no talent in other occupations either. Because of that, he ended up closing himself from the world and barely ever appeared in front of others.

When Roan started his training of the young Leviathans, Floquei simply selected all young Leviathans, and Leeyan was in the list. Still, it took some time to find him and drag Leeyan out. Roan had to give special attention to this guy, or he would always hide in the back of his group and never fight.

Naturally, the old Leviathans that followed Roan while he trained the young ones passed the report to Floquei and the other elders. Most of the young Leviathans showed huge progress... although Roan trained them half to death. There wasn't a single young Leviathan that didn't fear Roan nowadays.

But, the reports showed just how little Leeyan improved compared to others. While the entire group gave ten steps, Leeyan was still trying to take the first one. That was just how slow he was. Some even wondered if he was worth being called a Leviathan at all.

'Eh?!' Rean was surprised with everything he heard. 'But... isn't this the guy you said to be barely acceptable? I thought he would be an absolute genius capable of toppling the Universe on his own.'

It was then that Rean understood. 'Oh, I see! You selected him because he is just terrible. It would be much easier to convince the Leviathan Elders to let go of him than it would with any other young Leviathan.'

Roan shook his head. 'Why would I try to recruit such a piece of shit? I got this guy because he truly does have the greatest potential.'

'He?' Rean got confused. 'But you just said he was a disgrace.'

'He is a disgrace,' Roan didn't deny that. 'But that's because you will need a special method if you want to make him shine. Anyway, leave it to me. It is good that they think he is a piece of shit since it makes it easier to convince.'

Floquei obviously didn't hear Rean and Roan's conversation. "Why would you want to take Leeyan with you? You should know that we can't allow our bloodline to spread without control."

"Don't worry," Roan spoke. "I'm not taking him to have the guy breed children. You know better than anyone else how good my own sect members are. Why would I need bloodlines? They have never had a need for it, and with me in charge, they never will. I'm taking him because he is a failure."

Leeyan cried out. "Exactly, I'm a failure! So why do you need to take me? I don't want to go with you! Just leave me alone. I wasn't bothering anyone until you all decided to send me to these crazy training sessions. Just leave me in my corner, and you won't even need to look at my face. I'll do my best to not appear in front of anyone. I'm very good at it."

The Leviathan elders and Floquei sighed. Leeyan was truly the shame of their race.

However, Roan shook his head. "Who the hell are talking about you? I'm talking about myself, idiot! I'm the failure."

Everyone looked at Roan, puzzled. Did Roan lose his mind? There wasn't a single Leviathan in this world that didn't think Roan was an absolute master... although a very scary one.

"Roan," Floquei spoke, "explain yourself, please."

Roan glanced behind. He felt the grip of the Leviathan Tail disappear. Leeyan had taken his human form and was trying to escape the room. Roan snorted and waved his hand. The Spatial Power of the environment gathered and teleported Leeyan right to Roan's side before Roan held his arm. The poor guy struggled, but how could he escape Roan's grip? "This guy is the reason for my failure. I've never failed to train someone before. But it didn't matter what I did; I couldn't get him to improve. I will not accept that, so I will take him under my wing." "I don't want it!" Leeyan spoke, feeling terrified of the idea.

To be honest, none of the Leviathans liked Leeyan very much, so the offer was definitely tempting.

Roan continued. "And if you are afraid of me using him to breed others with the Leviathan Bloodline..." Right after, he took his White Scythe from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "We can just castrate him right here. Done, problem solved. He will not have any more descendants in his life."

Leeyan went completely pale. Why? Just why does he have to go through all of this?
