YM778.TV Chapter 108: Chapter 108: A bad omen?
The claws came, not to grab his throat but to simply slice it off. Eren could see that the woman was not joking. For a moment, death flashed right before his eyes.
The crystal clear pendant around his neck started shining. A thin layer of protective shield around his body.
The claws hit his neck, but they were not able to slice through them. Instead, just the impact itself was powerful enough to send him flying.
Eren crashed against another tree. The pain acted as a stimulant and made him sober.
The world that had been spinning in his mind had started stabilizing. Even though his body was weak due to blood loss, his vision had improved.
He coughed a mouthful of blood while trying to force himself up.
The Pendant of Protection had activated and saved his life. But it also made him realize that he would have died if it was not for the pendant.
It was the second time the pendant of protection was used, and he only had one more use left. Unfortunately, that one time appeared far from enough since the woman appeared to be in no mood to let him live.
"Someone who can\'t even kill an ant, but can survive an attack from me... Huh. I thought those four Overlords were the only ones. But it doesn\'t matter. Today, I will kill you with my own hands."
The Sea Dragon Empress appeared in front of Eren. Once again, before he could react, her draconian claws came for her.
Once again, it was an attack that forced the Pendant of Protection to activate, saving Eren\'s life.
The barrier protected his life, but the impact once again sent him flying, making him feel like his bones were shattering apart.
He flew straight towards the ocean. Just as he was about to fall in the water, a sweet scent surrounded him. Soft hands wrapped around his waist, carefully stopping his fall.
"You really took your sweet time," Eren coughed a mouthful of blood. He did not even need to look around to see who had saved him. Xiu Ying had returned.
"It took some time to kill him," Xiu Ying told Eren as she tossed the head of the Guard at the Empress\'s feet.
"It seems that you are not alone," the Empress walked on the air, her gaze filled with killing intent.
Hundreds of Sea Dragon Warriors also arrived, surrounding Eren and Xiu Ying from every side.
"Don\'t interfere," the Sea Dragon Empress took off her robe.
As her robe fell on the ground, the entire island trembled from the weight of the robe she had been carrying on her shoulders.
"I want to rip them apart myself."
"Before you rip us apart, can I tell you something?" Eren asked the woman.
He had already exhausted the Pendant of Protection. The pendant had disappeared like it never existed after being exhausted.
"You don\'t deserve any last words," the Sea Dragon Empress responded.
"In that case..."
Eren raised his middle finger as the bracelet on his wrist started shining.
The Empress\' pupils trembled. She realized what this bracelet was. This was something she had given her brother to save his life! It more than confirmed that Eren killed her brother.
Unfortunately, the bracelet had already been activated. She rushed towards Eren to stop him, but her claws only passed through the air as he disappeared with Xiu Ying.
Only his last sentence was left behind.
"Today, I am running away. But if there is a next time..."
The sentence could not even be completed.
That day, the high tides rose in the bloody ocean as a Sea Dragon Empress\' roar echoed all around the ocean, making every creature in the ocean tremble.
....
Far away from the Ocean, a man appeared out of thin air, falling on a comfortable bed mattress. A woman appeared right after him, falling on top of him.
Eren looked at the familiar surroundings, sighing in relief. This was his house in the Great Demon Sect. He was finally back to the Eastern Continent.
Against all odds, he had managed to survive. But his current condition... It was not looking good.
"Can you... get me some healing medicine?" he asked Xiu Ying.
His body was stained in blood. Most of the blood was from the Ocean, but a lot of it belonged to him as well.
He did not want to become a person who survived Astral and Sea Dragon Empress, only to die in his bed.
His entire body was in pain. He wasn\'t even sure if there was any bone in his body that was completely intact.
Xiu Ying quickly got off him, while Celeste also crawled out of his pocket, almost getting crushed between Xiu Ying and Eren.
....
....
....
At the depths of the Holy Empire in the Western Realm, there existed a majestic royal palace.
In the depths of the Royal Palace, the Priestess was staring at a sword that was kept in a chamber sealed with the Goddess\' Power.
The sword appeared to be taunted with a black liquid that looked like the worst poison in existence.
Next to the Priestess, there stood the Holy Emperor. It was said that the Emperor was the Ruler of the Western Empire. But everyone knew, the true ruler was the Holy Church and the Priestess.
The Holy Emperor was just a figurehead to manage the Empire.
"I informed you as soon as I found out about this," the Emperor told the Holy Priestess. "Do you think... It\'s a sign?"
"The Sword Emperor\'s sword had been silent for centuries, but today... It finally reacted. Is this a bad omen?" he further asked, appearing to be hesitant.
He understood really well what kind of existence the Sword Emperor used to be.
"A bad omen? In front of the Goddess, all omens are insignificant. Don\'t think too much about it. Just keep an eye on the sword and inform me if there is any other change."
The Holy Priestess turned around and started walking away.
"A bad omen, huh..." She mumbled under her breath as she disappeared.
