Chapter 281: Everything
Eren’s target was Sera who was Mist’s daughter. Even though she was close to him, he knew he couldn’t reach her as long as Mist was next to her.
It was especially the case since she was strong enough to blow him away now that he didn’t have the pendant of protection. To reach her, he had to bring Mist to disarray.
Not having anything better, he suddenly held her hand, estimating that she was not going to kill him. It was a risk that he took but the risk appeared to work out.
Not having anything better, he suddenly held her hand, estimating that she was not going to kill him. It was a risk that he took but the risk appeared to work out.
As he held her hand that had killed a lot of people, Mist was taken aback and stepped back, giving Eren the opportunity that he needed.
With enough room, Eren took his final step, maintaining the act until he was at the final point.
Fear in his eyes suddenly disappeared. It all happened so fast that no one noticed it but for a fleeting moment, something similar to a sense of achievement appeared on his face.
Even he didn’t know how he had managed to get so far without being caught, but it was all for this moment. He gave it his all, even using his bloodline to increase his speed even more.
He had already shown some of his speed when he dodged the professor but no one knew that it wasn’t the extent to how fast
he could be. He kept his real abilities hidden, including his real speed which he revealed only now.
Before Mist could come to her senses, Eren was behind Sera. His left arm was wrapped around her waist while his right hand was grabbing on to her next.
Standing behind her, he was practically hugging her, intentionally being so close that not even wind could pass through them. With this, no one could attack him unless they wanted to hurt Sera as well.
The people who were stunned at Eren’s ignorance when he held Mist’s hand were now absolutely shocked. Even the
professors who were standing close
couldn’t react in time before Eren took
Sera hostage.
The others were still in disbelief when Eren
jumped back from the first floor, still holding onto Sera who didn’t know that it
was Eren. He landed on the ground floor near the legendary tier testing stone.
“You’re not going anywhere!” Mist finally came to her senses, seething in rage. The entire academy trembled as a terrifying pressure descended on the entire
academy.
With the heavy pressure, many of the students passed out, some even dying on spot. The others dropped to their knees, blood coming out of their eyes, nose and
ears.
Only the Professors in the first floor were still standing but even they looked like they were under pressure. As for the group floor, there were only four people who were still standing
The first person was Eldric, which wasn’t
shocking as he had Magic Nullification which also nullified Aura. The second person was the professor in charge of the
test.
The other two people were none other
than Eren who was standing, even though most of the pressure was targeting him to the point that a crater appeared beneath his knees that refused to bend.
The last person was Mist’s daughter who was strangely unaffected, clearly having some sort of treasure to protect her. Otherwise, Mist would never have released her aura without aim.
Eren could protect himself from releasing
his own Sword Emperor’s Aura which could even counter an Overlord’s aura. However, he wasn’t here to expose his identity! Sword Emperor’s Aura had more uses in the future. He couldn’t burn that bridge
now.
Another reason he didn’t use that was because Sera had already experienced the Sword Emperor’s Aura when he destroyed
the Asura Sect. This little girl was there,
trying to steal something from the
treasury.
If he used that now, even if he used that on
his own body, it could still be felt by her as
she was so close. It was impossible for someone to not recognise it as it was so distinct
He was the Hero of her story. He couldn’t
let her know that he was also a villain now.
Blood trickled out of his nose as the pressure of an Overlord was nothing to
scoff at. He could even feel his body being destroyed from the inside under the
pressure.
“Shall we see if I die first or your daughter?” He asked as he tightened his
grip around Sera’s throat even as his body was under extreme pressure. He didn’t want to hurt Sera, but to fool
Mist, he had to first fool himself. With his grip tightening around Sera’s throat, she gasped for breath.
“Stop!” Mist roared, quickly retracting her aura. The Students who were almost
passed out sighed in relief as they remained on the floor. Just when they felt
that their brains were going to explode, it stopped.
“What do you want?! Do you want treasures? I will give you more than you
can count! Do you want authority? I will make you the King of a Nation! Just release her!”
Mist clenched her fist. Even though she
had all the strength in the world, it was nothing if she was going to lose her daughter! The most important thing to her was to get her daughter freed. ‘Making me a king by giving me a nation?
As if that will keep me safe from your wrath that’s going to target me after I release her,’ Eren thought. ‘As for artifacts, does
she even have anything that can protect me from an Overlord wanting to kill me?’
‘Wait a minute, doesn’t she…’ His eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of something. He was so excited at the possibility that his
heartbeat fastened. She did say that she was willing to give him everything. Everything also included the thing that he needed the most!
At first he only came here to take Mist’s
daughter for a few days to keep her busy in search of her, not giving her time to interfere in the matters of the Eastern
Continent. But this had truly opened an even more special door for him. He really couldn’t believe that he didn’t think of it when making this plan?.
