Chapter 317: How can you take my toy?
With the preparation complete, there was no room for mistakes. Mist had taken every precaution that she could, making sure that Devourer could not escape this time.
Meanwhile, the person she was targeting was simply sitting with the support of the table, simply gazing at the entrance.
“It is complete!”
While Eren was distracted, the Ghost Queen suddenly called out to him, catching his attention at the last moment.
“What timing.” Eren lazily stood up,
scratching the back of his head as he walked towards the container in the center.
Inside the container, he saw Aster whose wounds had completely healed. Aster also had his eyes open that seemed to be focused on him.
Within those eyes, there was a semblance of unwillingness which was being
suppressed by the seal on the soul.
“If you’re awake, get out of it yourself,’ Eren told Aster, giving his first instructions.
Aster, although unwillingly, clenched his fists. He punched in the direction of Eren. His fist clashed with the walls of the containers which shattered like fragile glass in front of his strength.
As the glass broke, all the strange liquid rushed out of the container, leaving only Aster within. He broke more of the glass to create an opening large enough for him to leave.
With a sufficiently sized exit, he stepped out of the container, his body still being wet with the unknown liquid sticking close to him.
“Who are you?” Aster asked the person in front of him, especially since he knew about one of the souls being a
Transmigrator.
“Get dressed and hide that face,” Eren
tossed clothes at Aster, along with a mask
that he had used previously when entering
the Southern Continent.
Aster still wanted an answer but his body subconsciously followed Eren’s
instructions. He wore the full face mask
that hid his true face behind a false curtain.
Following that, he wore the clothes that Eren had given to him. His clothes were dark, carrying a style usually preferred by those from the Northern Continent.

These were the clothes he had taken from
Frey when he killed the false body while attempting to save Feng Yu. Although the clothes didn’t fit After perfectly, they weren’t too loose either.
As Aster had just returned from the dead, the aura of death around his body was strong. Moreover, his Bloodline didn’t have a distinct aura that could be felt unless he revealed it outright.
In the absence of his original aura that he hid under Eren’s command, he appeared closer to a mage from the Necromancer Tower with the aura of death yet to be
shed away.
Eren next walked towards the Ghost
Queen, taking advantage of the few moments of respite that he had received thanks to Mist preparing outside.
He stopped in front of the Ghost Queen, placing his hand on her cheeks. “You did good. That was quite impressive.” “Hmph, of course I did. But it seems like it’ll
all be for nothing. If Mist is really outside, then we-”
“Don’t worry. I will not let her kill you,” Eren interrupted her sentence. “Because, I will be the one to kill you myself.”
His hand slid down her cheeks, grabbing
into her neck. He raised her in the air, carrying her towards the table.
The Ghost Queen tried resisting but her
resistance was futile. It was especially the case as the entire space was sealed which restricted most of her abilities.
“Y-you liar!” The Ghost Queen grew pale as
she felt like Eren was actually going to kill her now that he got what he wanted.
It was only after a few seconds had passed
that she felt like something was wrong. he actually wanted to kill her, he could
If
have killed her instantly. So why? While she was thinking about it, trying to
catch breath, Eren sat on the table, making the Ghost Queen sit on her lap while his right arm wrapped around her belly. His left hand remained on her neck as he bit her earlobe before whispering something in her ears which made her grow stunned.
Seconds kept tricking away with each
second feeling like an eternity in the
absence of any information about what was actually happening outside.
It was only after five more minutes passed
that a beep sound resounded from the
metallic door that started opening on its
own.
On the other side of the door, there was a
woman who ruled over the entire Southern Continent.
Eren flashed a carefree smile at Mist. “You
found me. Now it’s your turn to hide and I will seek you.” “That’s enough games. Where is my
daughter?!” Mist asked Eren while the
other S Rank Heroes also entered the lab, slowly circling around Eren.
At this point, this place was less like a lab
and more like a prison that was created especially with one person in mind.
“Didn’t I tell you? I will return to your daughter after we finish our little game?”
Eren asked, appearing to have been wronged.
While he spoke, his grip tightened around
the neck of the Ghost Queen, only to feel sudden spatial displacement. The Ghost Queen disappeared from his
arms, only for her to be replaced by a life sized doll. Seeing the ability, Eren pretended to be quite shocked.
He looked around and found one of the
Heroes holding on to the Ghost Queen. Even though the space was sealed, the
abilities of the Heroes in Mist’s side were unrestricted, allowing the Hero to use his abilities that allowed him to switch places between people and objects. “Are you alright?” The Hero asked the
Ghost Queen who was the victim in all this, especially in their eyes.
“Cough, cough!” The Ghost Queen coughed, trying to catch her breath as if
she had truly been on the verge of death. you were a little late, I would have died.”
“If
“That was not good. How can you take my toy from me when I didn’t even finish playing with it?” Eren looked at the Hero who had taken the Ghost Queen from him..
