“Now how should I deal with them?” Eren felt really conflicted at the moment.
He couldn’t leave them behind to suffer, but if he freed them, it might be the start of a new war which was more problematic.
He wanted the Northern Continent and the Western Continent to fight so that both sides could lose in the process. That’s what he had been working so hard for.
If the Eastern Continent waged a war first, the Necromancer Tower was going to remain unaffected. If anything, they were going to grow even stronger with the opening of hell.
He knew that both the choices were bad. He could only reject the two choices he was faced with, creating a third choice himself.
“Felona, can you come here for a moment?” He contacted Felona through the contract mark on the back of his head.
Felona had been keeping an eye on the Sea Dragon Empress who was going through a peaceful evolution.
As soon as she heard Eren’s voice in her mind, she summoned another Spirit from the Spirit Realm to keep an eye on the Sea Dragon Empress.
She created another portal for herself, connecting to Eren. Now that most of the protection of the Holy Church was destroyed, she could freely appear next to Eren even when he was inside the Holy Church.
She stepped out of the portal to ask Eren why she was summoned.
“I want you to take all of them to the Spirit Realm, and keep them imprisoned there for the time being,” Eren told Felona, his hands gesturing towards the prisoners in front of him.
“Should I keep them asleep like we did with that little girl?” Felona asked Eren, remembering that that had done the same thing with the Western Continent’s Overlord’s daughter.
“That is right. Don’t let them know about the involvement of the Spirits. They have suffered a lot throughout their time here. Just let them sleep peacefully until I handle everything here.”
Eren sat in front of Zhang Wei, whose face had been scarred badly. Her body was pale but he was certain that she hadn’t given away any information about the Demon Sect even after all this torture.
The Blood Demoness was quite strong willed when it came to that, which was probably why she was still kept alive.
He gently placed his hand on the cheeks of the Blood Demoness. Through his fingers, the holy essence entered Zhang Wei’s body, healing the wounds that were caused by the holy essence in the first place.
Slowly, the scars all over her body disappear. Even the wingers that had been sliced off, recovered like a miracle. Her complexion also recovered, as if she had regained the blood that she had lost.
Her heartbeat that had slowed down, started beating regularly now.
After healing Zhang Wei, he moved on to other people, including the youngsters who had been caught up in the conflicts of the elders.
After healing all of them, he placed a heavier sleeping spell on them. He finally sliced off the shackles that had been keeping them tied to the walls, making their bodies fall to the ground.
“Take them,” he told Felona, turning his back on the prisoners.
He stepped out of the prison cell, leaving Felona to bring the people of the Demon Sect back to the Spirit Realm, which was probably the safest place now that the Necromancer Tower was busy.
Felona opened a portal connecting to the Spirit Realm. She summoned more spirits through the portal and each of those spirits carried the prisoners back to the Spirit Realm.
After dealing with the matter at hand, Felona returned to the Sea Dragon Empress as per Eren’s instructions.
She wanted to be with Eren, but when she noticed the look in his eyes, she could see that he didn’t need any help.
….
Eren had thought that he could use the prisoners of the Holy Church to make an even greater mess for the Holy Priestess. Unfortunately, the identity of the prisoners wasn’t convenient for his plans.
He tried to look for other prisoners but there were no other prisoners in the entire place. He could only give up and step out of the Church to finally put an end to the plan.
“Hmm?” As soon as Eren stepped out of the Holy Church, he felt a powerful killing intent directed towards him.
He even felt a sense of danger which made him subconsciously draw out his sword.
Clank~
A heavy metallic sound resounded. Eren had blocked the sword that had come straight for his neck, like the work of an assassin.
He was even more surprised by the identity of the attacker. It made him feel quite frustrated.
‘How could I forget about him?’ he thought, looking at the man who changed the direction of his sword and attacked again.
Eren was playing the role of a Necromancer but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t use a sword. He kept up with the sword movements of the attacker, even pushing him back.
Eren didn’t like the fact that his plan had derailed to such an extent. Initially, he wanted to put up an act of the Holy Emperor attacking him.
He was going to make a grand spectacle about the Necromancer who took down the entire holy church being defeated by the Holy Emperor.
In the end, the Holy Emperor was going to come out as the saviour of the Holy City, his reputation rising across the entire continent.
Unfortunately, he had forgotten that there was one more person in the Holy City who was strong while being just as headstrong.
It was the younger brother of the Holy Emperor, who had attacked him without caring about his life.
The younger brother of the Holy Emperor also represented the dignity of the Royal Family. If he defeated the younger brother so easily, was it really going to increase the reputation of the Royal Family?
‘It looks like I will have to make another modification to my plan.’
