Chapter 345: The Same Person
The sound of moaning was still coming from inside the room, without any rest for even a minute. Even the ones who had to listen to these voices were wondering if the man was going to take a break or not.
Their attention was only shifted when they watched the Holy Priestess appear in front of Eren’s room, accompanied by the Archbishop.
The Guards made their presence known, not wanting to be disrespected, especially since there was no way they could actually hide from the Holy Priestess.
“Shadow Guard number three present.”
“Shadow Guard number three present.”
“Shadow Guard number four present.”
The two guards identified themselves while greeting the Archbishop and the Holy Priestess, who completely ignored them.
“Did anyone leave the room?” The Archbishop asked the Guards.
The guards shook their heads. “Let alone leaving the room, that man didn’t even leave the bed for a single moment. He is truly a beast in bed.”
The guard complimented Eren without even realizing, only to have his face grow pale as he watched the Archbishop’s eyes narrow. He realized that he had spoken a little too much and apologized while lowering his head.
“Your Holiness, I don’t think it is their work. As per my men, he had been in his room all this time. Moreover, isn’t he the one who helped you catch that woman? She hates him the most. Why will he help her?”
The Archbishop was still finding it hard to believe that this was the work of the guests from the east. Still, he had to follow the Holy Priestess.
“I hope that is the case. Because if it isn’t, then I might have to kill the envoys right here,” the Holy Priestess said, her eyes narrowing as she knocked on the door.
Even though she hated the disgusting aura of Eren, she was still willing to let him live for now. It was because she still had use for
him. The envoys from the Demon Sect
were her key to getting the Eastern Continent involved in her battle against the North.
Still, if Eren was the person who helped the Sea Dragon Empress, she could not let him live for a moment longer. It would mean that he was Devourer in disguise. Even more dangerous was the fact that he had the Overlord Killing Dagger.
If it wasn’t for the dagger, she wouldn’t have been so restless. While the dagger
was still incomplete, she had to kill Devourer before he found a way to complete it.
Although she didn’t have any evidence that
it was the work of Eren, there was a strong feeling in her heart that it had something to do with him.
The day he appeared in the city, Aster appeared and took away the false Priestess. He also found the Sea Dragon Empress and helped catch her. Devourer also appeared on the same day.
Three people from a completely different
spectrum of life, appearing in the same place at the same time, was too much for it to be a mere coincidence.
She had also heard that Aster had died. If
the person that people assumed to be Aster
was also Devourer in disguise, then it would have made even more sense.
He could also use the abilities of those that
he killed. If Aster was actually dead, it
meant Devourer killed him and stole his abilities. The person who took the false Priestess was also Devourer.
She had been curious as to why Aster
would take a step that could affect the relationship of two continents, but if it was
Devourer, then it made sense as he
couldn’t care any less about the relationship of the Overlords.
If anything, he would have been more pleased to have the four kill each other.
Half a minute passed since the Holy Priestess knocked on the door. The sound
had also stopped but the door was not
opened, which made the Holy Priestess even more suspicious.
Inside the room, Great Elder Zia was at a loss as well. Eren had left the room secretly. It was clear that he didn’t want
anyone to know about his disappearance. If she opened the door, then it was going to be exposed that Eren was not in the room. “We are busy, come later!” Zia called out
from the other side of the door, not opening the door.
“I’m afraid I would have to deny your kind offer. I hope you won’t mind my transgression as I have no other choice.”
The Holy Priestess gave them the opportunity to open the door. The moment
they refused to open the door, her
suspicions were turned into partial confirmation.
The Holy Priestess didn’t hesitate anymore.
Using her divine essence, she unlocked the door and pushed the door open.
“What are you doing?” Flustered at the fact that she was still completely dressed while pretending to be done, Great Elder Zia
pulled the bedsheet up, covering her body.
She made sure that no one could see that she was wearing her clothes.
“I apologize for intruding while you were
resting, but an intruder has entered the
palace. I’m afraid he might be trying to harm you. Hence, I had no choice but to
check on you myself,” the Holy Priestess gave an innocent excuse while her gaze
roamed over the surroundings, clearly looking for someone.
In the room, there were supposed to be
two people but she could only see one person. Unless Eren was hiding under the
bed, it was clear that he was not here.
“Now that you have confirmed that I am. fine, you can leave,” Zia sharply responded. “Wasn’t Elder Ren in the room with you?” The Holy Priestess ignored Zia’s words, instead asking a question of her own.
‘As if I know where he ran off to!’ Zia cursed
in her mind.
She was also just as curious about Eren’s
whereabouts. Since the Holy Priestess had come here personally, she could only wonder what kind of mess he had created?
They were not in the Great Demon Sect. Even though they were strong, they weren’t strong enough to be comparable to the Holy Priestess. If they took a single wrong step, they could be in huge trouble.
