Chapter 320: Chaos at the Border
Eren stepped out of the Academy’s boundaries, scratching the back of his head. “Playing the villain will definitely be the death of me someday.”
Although he knew that Mist wasn’t actually going to kill him, there was still the small
chance that she might actually lose her mind and kill him.
Despite that, he still wanted to test just what was the difference in strength between the two of them.
His left fist had been closed for quite some time. As he finally opened it, there was a semblance of Mist’s aura that he had
managed to gather with the help of Dragon Tongue.
For most people, this was quite useless. However, this was also an important reason he had actually stayed behind.
Carefully, he kept the small trace of aura in his inventory, which was the only thing that could keep it safe without letting it disperse.
Even though he also didn’t use everything he had at his disposal, the distance between them had become more evident than ever with this small interaction.
Even with the Pendant of Poison, he wasn’t confident if he could actually kill that
woman.
The only option he had was the Unseal Talisman, but he didn’t know how well it was going to work.
Fortunately, there was no need to go that far. He had managed to achieve more than he expected. This entire trip had been extremely rewarding for him.
Not only did he manage to increase his level by hunting the Heroes, he also took the abilities that he found useful. As for the other abilities that weren’t useful to him, he kept them in his inventory in the form of hearts.
He had also received one of the Transmigrators as a Servant, especially someone who was possessing the body of someone special like Aster. It was a reward that he hadn’t expected to find even in his wildest dreams.
He also had an informant in the Mythical Hero Academy which was a key for the
future in his eyes.
More importantly, he had also saved his disciples while receiving the reward from the system.
In his inventory, there was another useful item that had appeared. It was the Map of Celestial Dragon’s Heart.
Just the value of this map alone was
incredible as the Sea Dragons would be willing to give everything to get a clue about the Celestial Dragon’s Heart.
Not just the Sea Dragons but this was something that even the Four Overlords would have craved for, as they wouldn’t want it to fall in the hands of the Sea
Dragons.
The last thing that the Overlords needed
was for the Sea Dragons to remove the restriction on their Bloodline and the emergence of a new Celestial Dragon.
It was a map that gave Eren quite a lot of negotiating power. Still, negotiations were far from what he had in mind.
His Bloodlines didn’t have the seal that the
Sea Dragons had. Still, he wanted the Celestial Dragon’s heart for himself.
With the ability of Devourer, he was sure
that the Celestial Dragon’s heart was something that could help him immensely,
maybe even more than it could help the Sea Dragon Empress.
Even now, he didn’t know how he had
already screwed over the Sea Dragons Empress who was in the Western Continent after receiving a clue of the Celestial Dragon’s heart from the Prophet.
The two people with the Dragon’s Bloodline were already on the trail of the Celestial Dragon’s heart.
One of them was Eren, who had stolen the Bloodline from the Sea Dragon Prince while the other was the Queen herself who
wanted to kill him for her brother’s death.
The two had inadvertently started walking towards the same destination.
While Eren had first started hunting for
Professors in the Southern Continent, the other three continents weren’t calm either.
On the same day, a Battleship had departed
from the Great Demon Sect with the destination being set for the Western Continent’s Holy Empire.
As the invitation from the Western
Continent had long been accepted, the
time for departure had arrived. However, there was a small change in the team that was selected.
Initially, there were three Elders selected
for the team previously, which included
Elder Zhang, Elder Ren and the Frost Demon.
With the death of the Frost Demon and the
departure of Eren, the two empty spots
had to be filled by other Elders of the Sect. Elder Zhang was assigned as the leader of the team which included two more Elders
who were taking their youngest disciples with them.
While the ship departed from the Great
Demon Sect, the informant of the Holy Empire hiding in the nearest city noticed it. The informant quickly sent the information to the Holy Church which had a plan of its
own.
A Cardinal stood outside the Prayer Room
where the Holy Priestess was praying in silence.
“We have received the information that the
team has departed,” he delivered the news to the Priestess. “Also, it seems the rumors about the Southern Overlord’s death were just lies.”
“It is just as you expected, this was all a plot
to clean the sect of the Ancestral Elders,”
he further said.
He was unable to hide how impressed he was at the farsightedness of the Holy Priestess who already expected this. “Did you catch the Sea Dragon Empress?” A melodious voice came from the prayer
room.
“We were on her trail but she appeared to
have disappeared somewhere. Our men are still looking for her,” the Cardinal explained, apologetic at his failure. “It is fine. It’s only a matter of time. Focus
on the guests. Now that it’s confirmed that Feng Yu is alive, we will go forward with
the Plan. Make sure none of them step foot on the Western Continent alive…”
The voice, heavily laced with the killing
intent, came from the other side of the door.
“It shall be done.” The Cardinal bowed respectfully before turning around to leave.
That day, something big happened at the borders of the Western, Eastern and Northern Borders..
