“I am sorry but I think we can’t wait for your evolution to finish.” Eren appeared on the lowest floor where the Sea Dragon Empress was going through her evolution.
Her eyes were closed and her body was covered in sweat as her Bloodline became even more pure than before. It was as if her bloodline was getting closer to the origin now that the shackles were removed.
With each passing second, her strength was also increasing. Eren didn’t even have to check her stats again to know that she was stronger. Even her aura had become stronger.
He pulled out a blanket from her inventory and covered the Sea Dragon Empress who was completely bare at the moment.
After wrapping the blanket around the Empress who looked like she was simply sleeping during her evolution, he picked her up in his arms.
As he took her in his arms, he felt as if her evolution speed had simply increased. He was like a god with a bloodline even stronger than the Celestial Dragon. Just being in his proximity was beneficial for the dragon species.
The dragon wings appeared behind him again. He didn’t think much about the evolution of the Empress for now.
The only thing he knew was that he had to leave the Dungeon before the entire Holy Church was going to arrive, surrounding the Dungeon and blocking the exit.
Now that the Cardinals had left, he was certain that it was only a matter of time before this information reached the Holy Priestess who was going to personally arrive here with even more powerful Cardinals.
Before it became even harder, he had to leave this place. Even if he was strong, he didn’t want to fight the Holy Priestess yet. So far, he hadn’t known much about the goddess behind the Priestess.
Moreover, even if he managed to kill the Holy Priestess, who was going to take care of the Necromancer Tower Master for him? He needed the two of them to kill each other.
With wings larger than his body, he rose in the air. He flew from the fifth floor to the fourth and kept going until he reached the first floor.
The first floor used to be a maze, but there was no maze left there anymore. The dragon scales that had formed the maze was taken away by Eren, leaving this place looking no different than the smaller version of the empty fifth floor.
Eren had come to this Dungeon, trying to strengthen his Celestial Dragon Bloodline with the Dragon’s Heart. However, the trip had gone above and beyond his wildest thoughts.
It was an extremely rewarding trip where he hadn’t strengthened his bloodline but completely transformed it through an evolution.
He also managed to win over the Sea Dragon Empress, solidifying his position as the spiritual leader of the Sea Dragons.
Now, he had another place that belonged to him. If something happened to the Spirit Realm, he could always find a refuge in the Sea Dragon Kingdom which was in the depths of the often.
As long as he was in the ocean, he could even use the new Bloodline ability, ruler of the ocean. If anything, the ocean and Kingdom of Sea Dragons was no different than a stronghold for him.
He might become something even stronger than the Celestial Dragon used to be in his aura, but for now, he had no plans of simply hiding.
Just as this trip had been rewarding for him, he had also lost a lot during this trip. He had lost his last temporarily unsealing talisman.
To defeat the Spirit which was even stronger than the Overlords, he had to use his second and last unsealing talisman. Now he had none left.
Even if he was faced with danger, he could only rely on his own strength. Even if he had received so many rewards, he still felt somewhat pitiful about the Unsealing Talisman that he had been saving from the beginning.
Soon, Eren reached th exit of the dungeon. Outside the exit, he was sure that the two Cardinals were waiting for him. They had most probably already informed the Priestess who might soon be there as well.
“I can’t get dragged in fighting them.” He took a deep breath, realizing what he had to do.
Even if he could kill the two Cardinals outside the dungeon, but that was not beneficial to him if he was surrounded by more of them.
“Hide Aura.” He used his Dragon Tongue which had become even stronger after his evolution.
As if the worldly laws itself were manipulated following his words, the aura of the Sea Dragon Empress simply disappeared. Even though he was the caster who was holding her in his arms, he couldn’t feel her aura either.
It was the same for his aura. However, he didn’t have to rely on the Dragon Tongue to hide his aura. He simply relied on his Aura Manipulation.
“Invisibility.” He cast another dragon tongue spell.
Normally, this kind of spell wasn’t effective against those who were stronger than a bishop. However, after his evolution, the dragon tongue had become stronger.
Now he could even fool the Cardinals, even if temporarily. As long as the Cardinals weren’t using any special treasures to see through their invisibility, they could not be seen.
Only the Holy Priestess could see them, but only when they were within her sight.
After preparing everything, Eren made his wings disappear. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, wondering if they were going to be welcomed with a barrage of attacks or if everything was going to be as normal as he was hoping.
Soon, he took his first step through the exit. The minute spatial fluctuation appeared, but it was different from teleportation.
Eren felt comfortable, but he didn’t feel any harm to his body. He soon appeared outside the Dungeon, his feet landing on the ground which was still tainted with the blood of the Priests that were killed by him.
