Chapter 78: Assassin III

For several days, Zariel had dedicated most of his nights to refortifying his manor with enchantments. He had long known that removing the second seal of Tiamat would be a daunting task, and as such, he had spent countless hours preparing for the moment. Each night, he would retire to his study, where he would pore over ancient tomes and arcane scrolls he held within his mental palace. 

During daylight hours, Zariel split his time between two tasks: training Aurelia in the ways of Necromancy and attending meetings for his new administrative project. His training sessions with Aurelia were intense and rigorous, as Zariel sought to impart his vast knowledge of the dark arts. He would spend hours demonstrating various spells and incantations and then observe as Aurelia attempted to replicate his feats.
