Chapter 290: Isn’t the Villain?
As she spoke, she cast a glare towards Eren who according to her took advantage of the situation to take over the Spirit Realm.
“If you think that’s the case then you really underestimate the Necromancer Tower,” Eren replied to the young girl who really didn’t know much about the Necromancer Tower.
If she thought that the Lich with the Jar was strong then she was really ignorant to the real strength of the Necromancer
Tower. If this was the level of their
strength then they wouldn’t have been
ruling over the Northern Continent with an iron fist.
Still, he didn’t understand why the Necromancer Tower didn’t come for revenge. Were they really hesitant or was there something else that he was missing?
“Is something else keeping them busy? It’s not the Holy Empire, then what else?” he talked to himself, letting others hear as well. “Ah, that’s right. Hell’s Opening!”
He slapped his forehead lightly, forgetting the story of the Northern Continent. The so-called Hell was supposed to be opened by the Necromancer Tower.
The book of the Northern Tower was also called, “The Necromancer who returned from Hell.”
That meant the Northern Continent was on the cusp of the beginning of their true story, which was also what was keeping
them busy. That’s the only reason they couldn’t care much about the Spirit Realm.
Now that he thought about it, he
remembered that he still had a Hell’s Pass
that he had received as a reward.
Unfortunately, it was still unclear about how to use it.
Every time he tried to activate it, it stated that the criteria for activation was not satisfied.
He believed that the only way to use the Hell’s Pass was to enter the Necromancer Tower in the first place. Either that or the Hell had to be opened first before the pass could be activated.
He hadn’t read the story of the Northern Continent either so he didn’t know just why the Necromancer Tower was trying to open hell. However, the Main Character evidently returned from Hell with that.
He was sure that it was not intentional as
the Necromancer Tower was supposed to
be the villain in that story. It was
impossible for them to release the Main Character who always went against the
Villains.
‘Unless it wasn’t such a simple story? What if the Necromancer Tower isn’t the Villain of that story?’ It was also a possibility that she had considered, but there was no way to confirm it without asking the Author for
help.
He was distracted as he looked at the
Question Voucher in his inventory that allowed him to forcefully ask any one question to the Author that he must
answer.
It didn’t mean he could not ask other
questions before using the Question Voucher but answering those questions depended entirely on the will of the author who refused to accept that he was the
author.
“It would have been so good if I had the
Preservation Skill that Fey does,” he mumbled to himself as he closed the inventory, slightly jealous of Fey.
Fey had used one question voucher twice
while he could only use it once. Then again,
he knew that he couldn’t be too disappointed as it was his third question
voucher.
He also knew much more about this world
and their situation than Fey which became clear during their last meeting.
“Did unable to properly hear what he was mumbling. She moved closer to him.
you say something?” Yelen asked,
“Yeah, I think we should return. That’s
enough rest,” Eren told Felona as his health appeared infinitely better than it had been when he came out of the portal.
“Are you leaving right away? I-i can show
you around if you want?” Felona, slightly hesitant, approached Eren and asked.
“Next time I come, I will take you up on that offer.” Eren said calmly, not understanding why Felona had been so good to him even though he had basically
blackmailed her into surrendering her domain.
He wondered if it was simply because of
the Spirit Contract but for some reason, that didn’t appear to be the case either. Not thinking much about it, he simply watched Yelen open the portal. She held his hand, telling him to enter whenever he is ready.
Eren looked back at Felona one last time
before saying, “Protect that girl, but more importantly, protect yourself.”
As he finished, he entered the Spatial
Portal which soon closed behind him.
In the depths of the Sect Master’s Palace
in
the Great Demon Sect, Eren stepped out of
the portal.
His face was again so pale that this time he
couldn’t stop himself from vomiting right away, supporting his body by resting a hand against the wall.
“Fck, what is happening to me?” He cursed
while wiping his lips. He used the Dragon Tongue to clear the floor even as the world started spinning around him.
He thought that this was not going to
happen when he received a Spirit Form but nothing had changed.
Even with his head spinning, he turned around to tell Yelen, “I am fine.”
He was barely able to stand straight but he
didn’t express how messed up he was feeling.
“Y-you are bleeding,” Yelen stuttered, looking at Eren’s face.
“Bleeding?” Eren brushed his hand against
his nose, feeling something wet against his
skin.
As he looked at the back of his hand, he
saw a red liquid even with that blurry
vision.
“Ah, you’re right. It seems I am…” he mumbled before stumbling to the side, falling on the ground as he suddenly lost consciousness.
“Ren!” Yelen rushed to Eren, trying to stop
his fall but she was late as Eren was already
on the ground.
She helped his head up, wiping the blood. She used the life essence that she possessed as the Spirit Queen to try to heal
his body. However, as soon as even the
slightest trace of her spirit energy entered her body, it was pushed out by some mysterious energy..
