Chapter 285: How is it him?
Mist reached out, her fingers grasping at nothing but air. The rage in her eyes was unmistakable to everyone who saw her.
Her roar echoed through the entire arena and reverberated across the continent, her aura shooting straight into the sky.
The people across the continent felt as though a monster had descended from the heavens. Even the leaders of the nations in
the Western Continent felt the suffocating
sensation.
The professors around Mist remained silent, well aware of the danger in provoking her wrath at a time like this.
They watched her leave, disappearing into the unknown, seemingly to find her daughter.
Even after Mist left, the people did not feel relieved. The entire day had been overwhelming. First, someone with the abilities of the first hero had appeared. Then, the Devourer had shown up, and now Mist’s daughter had been kidnapped?
They could only imagine the consequences if Sera were harmed. Furthermore, if news spread that Mist’s daughter was kidnapped right before her eyes, she might even become a laughingstock in the other continents.
They knew that they couldn’t let this news spread out. The Professors were never
going to leak this news but the same
couldn’t be said about the students who
saw everything.
“Take them to her. Let her erase their
memories of the last few hours,” one of the
Senior Professors said, sighing. “The exams will be delayed for now.”
“She can remove most of their memories but what are we going to do about him?
Doesn’t he have Magic Nullification?” Another Professor chimed in, casting a glance at Eldric who was the only person that was completely unaffected by everything that happened.
Even the Professors were covered in cold
sweat, their face pale with the constant
pressure of an Overlord that they could still feel. Eldric, on the other hand, couldn’t even feel it.
Many of the Professors even felt jealous of
his Magic Nullification.
“Leave him be. I doubt he will fail the
exams in any case. He will be staying at the
academy. I’ll personally make sure he understands,” the Senior Professor said while jumping down to the ground floor.
Normally, in this situation, the Vice Dean should have taken control of the situation. However, recently everyone found out that the Vice Dean had been long dead.
The position was completely vacant so
many people wondered who was going to take that position. It all depended on how they performed at a time like this.
‘Did he say his name was Devourer?’ Eldric thought, looking at a small ball made from
paper.
No one saw it but just before he disappeared, he tossed this ball of paper towards him. At first, he even though it was
an attack but he was able to easily catch it. There was nothing special in it.
He opened the small ball of paper to reveal
a crumbled paper on which only one
sentence was written.
“Second life is fun, isn’t it?”
Eldric’s eyes narrowed as he read the
sentence in the paper.
“How interesting.”
He crushed the paper in his hand before keeping it in his pocket.
In the middle of nowhere, winds suddenly
intensified. A low hum could be heard as the spatial energy suddenly started flickering. The buzzing sound grew louder,
resonating with the space in the surroundings.
The spatial energy flickered erratically,
forming spatial cracks all around that
turned the dark surroundings much brighter.
Soon, with a sudden blinding flash, a portal
tore open the fabric of reality. From the
chaotic essence within the portal, Sera tumbled out, hitting the ground with a thud, falling on her hips.
Right after, another figure fell out. Eren
was taken aback with how chaotic the portal had been, especially when compared to the ones formed by Yelen.
Even though he had traveled through space
alone with the help of Sect Master’s ring, that was always short range portals. This
was the first time he had gone through a spatial tunnel which took him farther without Yelen.
Eren fell out of the portal. It all happened
so fast that before he could react, he had already touched the ground.
He felt as if his head had been planted in the middle of something soft. For a moment, he even wondered why the ground was so soft. However, it didn’t take him long to realize the reason.
The reason his face did not hurt, even
though he fell face first, was Sera.
He had not fallen on the ground but on top of Sera. Fortunately, she had an extremely strong body. She had almost killed the Poison Dragon with bare fists. Still, he quickly raised his head, realizing
that his line of sight was wrong. When he looked straight ahead, he saw her slightly revealed cleavage.
He had to raise his head a little to look at
Sera who was lying there with her eyes closed, unmoving.
Looking at her like that, he wondered if she
was actually fine or not. When even he was in such a mess with this chaotic mode of travel, it made sense for her to not be fine. Still, he really hoped that she hadn’t just died. Mist was going to be really furious if that happened.
He placed his ear over her chest as he was
already in the perfect position for that.
“It’s beating. She is alive.” He sighed in
relief as he pushed his body up. “She really
scared me. Then again, it’s good that she didn’t see it. She really must have misunderstood me.”
He moved away from her body, scratching
the back of his head.
As long as Sera was alive, it was fine. Although he had infuriated Mist, he really didn’t want to imagine what that monster
might be like if she actually lost her daughter forever.
If anything, he was already planning to return Sera a few days later when everything in the Sect had settled. He looked down at Sera, wondering if he
should wake her up. If anything, it was much easier to keep her asleep. He was sure she was going to do something stupid if she woke up.
“I suppose I should keep her in the Spirit
Realm where she will be safe. But I can’t let her see the Spirits involvement. For that reason, please sleep for three more days,”
he said, bringing out a pill that could put a person to sleep for three days without causing any adverse effects.
If anything, the pill was only going to improve their body, strengthening it even more. As he was using her, he thought he
should give her some benefits as well so he didn’t owe her anything. Bringing out the pill, he stepped forward.
He went down on his knees next to her, opening her lips.
“What are you doing to that girl?! You bastard, release her!”
Before Eren could place the pill in Sera’s
mouth, a voice came from the distance, belonging to a man.
“It has nothing to do with you,” Eren said,
slowly looking back towards the source of
that voice, only to be shocked as he saw the person. “The fck? How is it him? Does that mean I am in…’.
