Chapter 308: Greatest Privilege
Ancestral Elder Yang’s vision blurred as he struggled to keep his composure. At first, he didn’t understand why he had suddenly started feeling so sleepy.
The moment he started getting suspicious, he pushed the woman back, it was already too late. His vision had already grown blurry. He stepped back, almost stumbling.
“What did you do to me?!” he asked as his sleepiness kept getting stronger. But the woman didn’t answer, only gazing at him calmly.
“There is no point in struggling. Now that you are here, you might as well stay behind and help me.”
After a brief moment, the woman known as Ghost Queen broke the silence, watching Ancestral Elder Yang barely standing with the support of the wall.
Ancestral Elder Yang thought about running away but his body refused to listen as his eyes slowly closed, as if a witch had cast a sleeping magic on him. Even his thought process had slowed down while he slid on to the ground, falling asleep.
The two unconscious women in the cage were oblivious to the scene unfolding around them. However the men who accompanied Yang shifted uneasily.
They turned around, leaving the cage behind and simply started running, only to
realize that it was futile.
The reason Ghost Queen took action against Ancestral Elder Yang was because he was strong. He was the only one who could escape her pursuit. His followers did not have that ability.
With great ease, the Ghost Queen caught up to the followers of Ancestral Elder Yang, knocking them out.
One after another, she dragged all the
followers inside her lab before taking
Ancestral Elder Yang with her as well. With these men, she had everything she needed.
After taking the men inside, she again left the hall and watched over the cage in which two women were lying.
“Although I already have enough people,
more materials never hurt. If there comes a
time when I need more, you two can be put to use.” The Ghost Queen’s eyes glinted with a sinister delight as she approached the cage, her fingers gently brushing over the bars.
“You may not know it yet, but you might become part of something extraordinary,” she mused, her voice dripping with mock affection.
With a flick of her wrist, she summoned a spectral light that illuminated the cage. As the light surrounded the cage, it started floating in the air, following the Ghost Queen inside the lab.
The metallic door closed behind her, but not before the Spirit Queen entered.
The Ghost Queen dealt with the dead and their Spirits. She was very adept at using the Ghostly Energy that she took from the dead. However, the Ghostly Spirits were different from the Spirits of the Spirit Realm that were living beings.
Unlike Ghostly Spirits of this world who
were born from the death of humans or
other creatures, the Spirits in the Spirit Realm were born from the purest of
energy.
Even then, the Ghost Queen might have
been able to notice their presence if it was just an ordinary Spirit that was following her.
As the one following her was far from an ordinary Spirit, even the ability user known as the Ghost Queen couldn’t sense her.
She started preparing for the sacrifice which was going to heal Aster’s soul while also casting a seal on his soul.
“Be glad, Aster. Thanks to me, you will be returning to life, even stronger than before! And when you do return, you shall
become my knight and my biggest weapon against Mist!”
“Soon, it will be time for the Overlord of the Southern Continent to change! I can already see that beautiful figure.”
“This woman… Is she crazy? She is planning
to go against an Overlord with the help of that man?’ Yelen thought, looking at the man in the container whom she didn’t
quite recognise.
She couldn’t even feel any strength from the man as he was completely dead. There were only minor spiritual fluctuations
coming from that lifeless corpse inside the container which should have been
impossible to bring back to life. Still, seeing the confidence of the Ghost
Queen, Yelen didn’t want to doubt her
words. In any case, she had to save Eren’s Disciples.
She thought about taking action herself but
at the last moment, she gave up as she realized that Ghost Queen wasn’t planning to sacrifice the girls. It gave her some time
to at least inform Eren.
She turned around, but not before calling
Felona to keep an eye on Eren’s Disciples, not wanting any accidents to happen. Only after bringing Felona, she passed through the metallic door and left the lab.
She quickly rushed back to the officer of Axxel, but the moment she passed through the door, she saw Axxel standing there, perfectly fine.
For a moment, she was stunned before
feeling a familiar contract bond from the person. She looked in the corner and saw
the real Axxel who had long been killed with a hole in his chest.
Eren had already shed the disguise of
Liyone and taken the guise of Axxel which
allowed him more freedom when dealing with his disciples.
Eren sent the body of Axxel to the Spirit
Realm for it to be dealt with, not needing it anymore.
“Did
you find the so-called Ghost Queen?”
he asked Yelen while pushing the door open, stepping out of the office.
“I did. That woman is quite crazy. She is
planning to bring a dead person back to life.”
“A dead person back to life? Was that even possible?’ Eren asked, slightly taken aback. If it was possible to bring the dead back to
life, then what if some idiot found a way to bring Ye Liang back to life? It was truly
a
hassle but he was sure that it was
impossible.
He had even devoured Ye Liang just to
make sure, not even leaving the body behind for anyone to try.
“I don’t know who she’s planning to bring
back to life, apparently it’s someone called Aster,” she told Eren. “Can you repeat that?” Eren frowned, coming to a sudden halt..
