Chapter 330: The Killing Saviour
Aster was confused, not understanding where Eren’s confidence was coming from. Even he didn’t know the true identity of the people left on the ship, only knowing that they were close to Eren.
The only thing he knew was that the girls weren’t from the Continent of Heroes, not appearing any special either. One was an ordinary girl who called Eren master. The other was just a child.
They were used as a sacrificial subject by the Ghost Queen who wasn’t even close to as strong as him. If they couldn’t even resist her, then how strong could they actually be?
Still, at the end of the day, Eren knew those two people better than he could ever hope to know them. If he wasn’t worried about their safety, why would he worry?
“You don’t have to worry about them. You should worry more about yourself.” Eren brought the topic back to the little girl who was still suspiciously looking back and forth between the two men.
“Isn’t this your fault? You told me to save that girl, making me the most wanted person in the Western Continent in an instant.
Aster clicked his tongue in frustration. After pushing him in this mess, this guy was washing his hands clean?
Even in this situation, he was quite calm as he had a way to escape. Not everyone was as crazy as Eren who could prevent his escape and kill him on the spot.
“You’re lucky the other guy isn’t in control of this body or you would have a lot to listen to.” He rubbed his ears, even though the annoying voice wasn’t falling in his ears but directly appearing in his head.
Unlike him, the soul of real Aster was absolutely freaking out. Even though he was enslaved by Eren, he still hadn’t forgotten his past. He knew what kind of mess he had created for the Western Continent which was his home.
“I don’t think he needs to worry. Doesn’t the Academy also have the first hero now? I think they can handle all the mess I throw at them.” Eren lazily answered. “If anything, it’ll keep them from being bored.”
He told Aster to stop worrying about unnecessary things and escape from this portal before something went wrong and anyone discovered that he was still in the city.
“Shall we return to the Southern
Continent? But I haven’t mastered such a
long range yet.” Aster rubbed his forehead. “The annoying guy kept telling me to learn but it’s not easy.”
“You are not going back to the South. Open
the portal as close as you can to the Royal City of the Holy Empire without being
detected. Wait there for me.”
“Wait there for you? Are you not coming
back?”
“There are a few more things for me to
handle here. It will take some time for me.’
“What do you even have to do here? Don’t
you realize that they are arresting everyone who is not a native of this city? Can you even do anything here?”
If there was no seal on his soul, Aster
wouldn’t have cared the least about Eren, only focusing on his own survival. But with the seal, his life depended on Eren.
Not only could Eren kill him with a single whisper of a command but they were also going to die if he died.
“Are you sure you’re strong enough to
worry about me?” Eren asked innocently. However, more than the false innocence of
Eren’s face, Aster was attracted by those eyes which he had seen in the Coastal City when he was killed by Eren.
“How could I forget? Even Mist couldn’t get
the better of you.” In the end, he simply gave up as he opened a portal. “But you better not die! If you are going to die, better remove my seal before taking your last breath!”
Eren placed his hand on the young girl. He hadn’t given her enough answers, worried that she might catch onto his lies. He understood that the less he talked to her, the better for him.
“Did you check the roofs? I hear some sounds coming from there.”
Hearing the voice from the distance, Aster realized his time was running out.
He held her hand, pulling the girl away
while her focus remained on Eren’s eyes, as
if she could see through his false disguise.
Eren wasn’t sure if this was just his misconception.
Aster entered the portal with the girl known as the False Priestess, leaving Eren behind, standing next to the body of the Priest who had died by Eren’s hand.
Eren watched the girl disappear into the
portal, a sigh escaping his lips as he thought about the situation.
To fully awaken his Bloodline or even reach
his absolute limit as told by the Author, he had to kill all four Main Characters. And this girl… She was one of them.
She was destined to die by his hand.
However, fate had a different plan, and he ended up saving her as she was still useful for him in taking down the Holy Priestess. “If I hadn’t saved her, someone else would have. That’s the privilege of being a Main Character. If I’m not wrong, the person who was supposed to save her was the Sea Dragon Empress…”
While lost in thought, he touched the body
of the Priest, altering his disguise while
stashing the body in his inventory. Before discarding the body, he quickly changed
his clothes using Dragon Tongue Magic. As ordinary priests, they couldn’t fly, which
meant they needed a few extra seconds to climb the roof which was long enough for Eren to clean up the place.
Only the trace of Dragon Tongue Magic was left behind, something the Priests would not be able to sense.
“It was just you?” the Priests clicked their tongues, realizing that they had wasted all their efforts in climbing the wall. “When
you heard us coming, couldn’t you tell us that you were here?”
Although they were frustrated, they didn’t
make things difficult for Eren and jumped back down, leaving the area for Eren to observe.
Once again, Eren was left alone on the
roof. However, he soon felt the familiar sensation of the Dragon Bloodline near him.
The moment he turned towards the source, he froze in place as a Divine Aura fell from the sky. “Just my luck…” He rubbed his forehead, looking at the sky with narrowed eyes..
