Chapter 392: The Lesser Mythical Beast
“Paradox.” That was the only thought going through Eren’s mind as he watched the author disappear.
Even though he had remembered the author’s suggestion to use the sword to protect himself, Eren couldn’t shake his thoughts about the Paradox bloodline. Just what kind of bloodline was it exactly?
It was known that a person could possess multiple bloodlines. Even Devourer had gathered several strong bloodlines over time. However, it was different when it came to supreme bloodlines.
Even Devourer had been cautious about taking on another supreme bloodline, knowing it would risk destroying his own body.
Yet, Eren had managed to obtain not one, but two supreme bloodlines, not counting Paradox. The first one was Devourer while the second was the Celestial Dragon Bloodline which had recently evolved from the Sea Dragon Bloodline.
Despite this, his body was still functioning. Eren couldn’t help but wonder if this was yet another paradox. Just what was he becoming?
He didn’t want Xiu Ying to see through his concerns. He gave her a forced smile
before quickly changing the topic.
“Get dressed fast. Aren’t you going to
escort me out?” he asked the girl, who was only wrapping a bed sheet around her body.
Even though Eren was warned that he might meet his death if he was not careful, he still decided to leave the Holy City.
He waited for Xiu Ying to get ready before leaving the room, meeting up with Zia and Yu Lin. The three ladies escorted him out of the Palace where the Cardinal was supposed to be waiting for him.
Even his clone, who was pretending to be the Holy Emperor, came across him along the way. Eren talked to his own clone, which was slightly awkward as he was answering himself.
Still, he kept up with the facade as the Holy
Emperor was supposed to be an entirely different person in front of the people
within the Palace.
“You are here.” Cardinal Treniel said,
catching sight of Eren. He had been waiting next to a Pegasus that was the mount that he had selected for his journey.
Even though he was quite hostile towards
Eren, he still didn’t let it show on his face. Deep down, he knew that this was going to be Eren’s last journey.
“Is it the mount you have selected?” Eren asked, approaching the beautiful Pegasus which felt like it had come straight out of a
myth.
Even though it wasn’t a Mythical Beast on the level of a phoenix, it was still an extraordinary beast that was only found in the Western Continent.
It was said that all of the Pegasus in the Western Continent were already controlled by the Holy Church. It was
almost impossible to find one in the wild.
“It is faster than flying ourselves,” the Cardinal told Eren, not losing his composure in the least. “We could also take
our Warship, but that can be seen from miles away. It would be like alerting the enemy of our arrival.”
“As we are just planning to sneak inside the Northern Continent to investigate, there is no need to take the risk, right?” he asked.
“That is true.” Eren agreed with the Cardinal’s suggestion. If he didn’t know any better, he really would have believed that
the Cardinal seriously wanted to investigate the disappearance of the
envoys.
“Oh right, how could I forget.” The Cardinal
pretended to have remembered something really important.
“It seems that our Holy Priestess wanted to
talk with the envoy that arrived yesterday. Last night, she wasn’t able to talk properly. She probably wants to welcome her properly,” he told Eren while directing his words towards Xiu Ying.
Eren already understood that he was doing
that because he didn’t want other Great Elders to come with him. He didn’t mind that as he was not planning on taking them in the first place.
At the same time, he didn’t want the two
ladies to meet the Holy Priestess without him. He didn’t want to take any risk where they could get hurt.
“Both of them?” The Cardinal asked, trying
his best to hide the glee in his voice. “What an unfortunate timing. However, it’s better for them to rest in that case. We will be back in no time.”
It didn’t matter if the two of them were
actually sick or not. The only thing that mattered was that none of them were coming with Eren, which made things a lot easier.
“If you do feel better later, please visit the
Holy Church. You would receive a great welcome,” he said, extending a welcoming invitation before climbing on the back of
the Pegasus as well. After he finished speaking, he glanced towards Eren, “Have you used a Pegasus
before?”
“What do you think?” Eren sarcastically answered. How could he ride a Pegasus when all of them were controlled by the Holy Church.
“You don’t have to be trained to ride them.
You don’t even have to use the Holy Aura
to control them, as long as you have our permission. It is extremely easy to control them,” the Cardinal explained.
He gently placed his palm on the back of
the Pegasus’ neck. The Pegasus spread out its wings.
“Just place your hand on the back of their neck, and instruct them using your thoughts. They will follow it.” As soon as he
finished speaking, the Pegasus started
running forward until its feet were no longer on the ground.
Eren looked at the three girls in his life, not
knowing if the author’s warning was going to come here.
“I will definitely be back,” he told them
before his Pegasus also spread out its wings, rushing forward and rising in the
air.
Eren followed the Cardinal, chasing after him in the sky, as if the two of them were racing in the sky..
