Chapter 319: Using an Overlord
Mist, the strongest person in the Southern Continent, was an enemy that no one wanted to have. Even the Elders of the Academy dreaded her strength.
It had been a long time since the Elders had seen Mist using her full strength.
The last time she used her complete strength, it was also against Devourer. However, she wasn’t alone at that time.
The other three Overlords were with her as well.
Unlike that time, she was all alone now. She was the only Overlord here, fighting Devourer. Not only did the other Elders not intervene but they also stepped away, creating more distance, worried about becoming an obstruction for Mist instead.
Their only responsibility was to stop any attempts to escape from Eren.
The mist enveloped the lab like a shroud, reducing visibility to almost nothing. It was impossible to see more than a foot ahead.
Strangely enough, the Mist only affected Eren and the unknown masked man who was standing in the distance who was also being observed by a few Elders.
None of the people on Mist’s side were affected by the Mist, including the Ghost
Queen. As Yelen was also mostly unknown in this situation, she was also quite
unaffected by the Mist.
The deathly aura of Aster was also enough of a distraction to keep Yelen’s minute
spirit presence hidden.
“How nostalgic,” Eren mused aloud, letting his seventh sense take over.
Although this was his first time properly facing an Overlord, that wasn’t the case for
Devourer. He was sure that Devourer had
faced this ability when the four Overlords attacked him.
Mist’s voice echoed through the fog, layered with rage. “This time I will make
sure that you stay dead!”
Eren smirked, his eyes flashing with a mischievous glint. “Are you sure you are capable of that?’
As Eren spoke, he stepped to the size, dodging the daggers made from unknown force that had come flying straight for him. Even in the Mist, he wasn’t at the mercy of his sight.
Before he could continue, a sudden force pushed him sideways, slamming him into the wall. The mist seemed to thicken, turning into shackles that wrapped around his arms, pinning him in place.
“Enough of your games!” Mist’s voice was closer now, dripping with venom. “Return my daughter and I will grant you a quicker death. Don’t test my patience!”
Eren’s smirk didn’t falter even as he struggled against the binds. “How Interesting. Are
you still taking my lightly?”
Although Eren was restricted, he was sure
that Mist wasn’t even using a fraction of her true strength.
It was clear that she was as worried about accidentally killing him. Even the daggers before were aimed at his non vital points. At the end of the day, she was still being held back by her affection.
With a sudden burst of energy, his body
radiated a dark, ominous aura that began to dissolve the mist around him. With each pulse, the binds weakened, and soon he was free, disappearing from Mist’s view, using the ability of Axxel.
Mist’s eyes narrowed. “That’s the ability
of…’
“Your Professors really have some decent abilities,” Eren responded nonchalantly. However, he didn’t appear far away from
Mist.
To Mist’s surprise, he appeared behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
He brought his lips near her ears and whispered, “Your daughter is safe… for now. But push me further, and I can’t promise her safety. I have left her in a formation. If I don’t return in time, you will
only find her corpse even if you manage to read my memories to find her.”
Mist’s resolve wavered for a moment. “You
wouldn’t dare.”
She didn’t resist Eren’s embrace as her
mind was completely filled with the thoughts of her daughter at this moment. If
it was true that her time was limited, then
she really couldn’t hold this person back. Unfortunately, she wasn’t sure if Eren was simply bluffing. Was it really true or was it just a trick for him to escape? Eren’s gaze hardened. “Try me.”
While Mist was in his embrace, he didn’t forget his villain’s persona. He didn’t forget to tease her as he bit the tip of her ears lightly at the end of his sentence. Mist felt a shiver run down her spine as her
ears were bit, feeling the warmth of Eren’s
lips.
Eren soon released her, his hands slid
across her belly as he released her, getting
a complete feel of her slim waist and that soft skin.
Mist felt a palm hit her butt as if someone
had just spanked her. Her face turned red in anger but she didn’t dare stop Eren for
now.
“Two days… I will return your daughter in
two days as I already received what I wanted from you,” he said as his footsteps grew distant. “However, if you try to stop me now, you will only find her corpse.” “If you believe that you can afford to take
the risk, then try to stop me.” Eren simply turned around, his long robe fluttering
behind him as he simply walked towards the exit of the lab.
Stunned, the other Elders blocked his path to stop him.
“That’s enough!” Mist suddenly called out. “Don’t stop him.”
One last time, she chose to believe him as her daughter’s life was on the line. She waved her hand, creating an opening in the barrier that had sealed the lab.
“I will wait for two days! But if I don’t get
my daughter in two days, I will paint all
four continents in red until I find you and snap your neck!” Mist slowly turned around, looking at Eren’s distant back.
Aster also caught up to Eren, his identity still being a mystery for everyone here. In response to Mist’s threat, Eren simply
waved his hand, bidding her farewell. He didn’t offer any words of confirmation. Soon, he left the lab and openly walked out of the Mythical Hero Academy. Not even in their wildest dreams could the
Professors have expected that Devourer could enter the academy, kill their Professors and walk out safely right before
their eyes. However, this was the reality they were witnessing.
As Eren left the Academy, he didn’t notice
that from one of the windows, the Prophet was also looking at him with a look of great interest..
