Chapter 331: Uninvited Guests
“To think that she would come here personally…” Eren raised his head, looking at the distant sky. Right above the Duke’s Palace, a woman had appeared.
Shaking his head, Eren jumped into the alley merely a few moments before the woman looked in his direction, missing him by mere fragments of a second.
If possible, Eren didn’t want to be seen by the woman when he was disguised as a guard. Unlike the ordinary priests, the Archbishop and those stronger than him could sense the Holy Blessings that a person had received.
Being a Priest who had no blessing was as good as telling them outright that he was in a disguise.
On the roof of the Palace, the Duke had appeared alone, going down on one knee. His back was already drenched in the cold as he didn’t dare to raise his head.
He had just finished informing the Holy Priestess about what had happened. He thought that at best, she was going to send a Cardinal to the city but she told him that she was coming here personally.
Only seconds had passed and she was already here? The Duke was scared about his own fate. If the Cardinal was here, then he would at least hesitate a little in dealing with an Archbishop who was also a Duke of the Holy Empire.
The woman was different. She was sitting at the absolute peak of this continent. She could even scold the Holy Emperor to his face, let alone a mere Duke.
“I welcome the Holiness.” The Archbishop said respectfully to the woman who had arrived.
The woman smiled warmly at him and
replied, “Rise, Archbishop.”
From her face, it was impossible to see even the slightest of anger. She was akin to the goddess of kindness that had forgiven every mistake of this world, carrying their sins on her shoulder.
The woman landed on the roof of the
Palace, right before the Duke who stood up
after receiving the permission.
Even though the Duke stood up, he didn’t
look straight at the Holy Priestess, always keeping his head down.
“I am sure you understand why I came here?” The Woman walked past the Duke who silently followed her.
“To punish me for letting that girl escape?” The Archbishop asked, feeling regretful
about his own conduct.
“That girl is insignificant for now. I can
always capture her whenever I want. So that’s not the reason,” the Holy Priestess answered without the slightest shift in her
tone.
Instead, she looked in a particular direction where the Merchant Ship was present
outside the city.
“I came to know that there are a few
uninvited guests in the city. I just came to welcome them personally.” A beautiful yet cold smile appeared on her lips but the Duke couldn’t see it as he was walking behind her.
While following her, his head remained
down which made his gaze fall on her hips. No matter what, his eyes always ended up appreciating her figure even though he was scared of her.
“Uninvited Guests?” The Archbishop was
slightly confused. Even if there were outsiders here, who could be significant
enough for the Holy Priestess to come here personally?
Meanwhile, Eren stood with his back
resting against the wall, looking at the sky that looked even brighter for some reason.
“To think that I would have to meet with
her so soon.”
He sighed as his face started transforming again, returning to the face that she had in the Great Demon Sect.
His physique started changing a little as
well, his hair becoming a darker shade of red akin to a demon. His face also became more slender.
He took off the robe that he wore as the
guest of the Southern Continent and wore the robe of the Eastern Continent.
To be Devourer was useless in this city
with the presence of the Holy Priestess. She was someone entirely different from Mist who had no weakness like a family member or lover.
If there was one weakness to her, it was
her absolute greed. She wanted to make use of the Eastern Continent, which was the only flaw in her Armor.
“Since she wants to use the Great Demon
Sect, then I shall give her the Great Demon
Sect.”
Eren donned the attire of the Eastern
Continue with a robe that was only given
to the Great Elders of the Great Demon
Sect.
Previously, he was a mere elder. However, after helping Feng Yu, he had been promoted to a Great Elder, becoming the
youngest Great Elder of the Great Demon
Sect.
It was also a way for Feng Yu to give Eren some protection when he told her that he was going to leave the sect. People were
going to be more hesitant when dealing with the Great Elders of such a crazy sect after all.
There was one more thing that she had
given him, which was a crystal of communication. He could use that to
contact her but he knew that it was mostly
useless.
Because of the deal between the four
continents, the Overlords couldn’t enter each other’s territory. Knowing Feng Yu, he was sure that she might not care about this treaty and came to help him. He didn’t
want that. If anything, it was still too early for a war.
Donning the robe of the Great Elder, Eren
stopped hiding his presence and stepped out of the alley, walking across the streets with his hand behind his back like an Elder observing the surroundings. There were quite a few guards along the
way but when the Guards looked at his robe, they stopped in places. They didn’t even care to approach that
person, only contacting the Archbishop to
inform them about what they had seen. Eren walked straight toward the Duke’s
Mansion while also keeping an eye on the aura of Sea Dragon Empress.
He didn’t see the Empress but he did feel a
heavy killing intent that was directed at him.
“So there you are…..”
With the killing intent, he was finally able
to trace the exact location of the Sea Dragon Empress..
