My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 334 - : Mockery
She was skeptical that Eren could provide anything of value to her. Yet, the confidence in his voice when he offered his assistance piqued her curiosity, if only slightly.
Despite her disdain for him, largely due to his unsettling aura, she remained composed and asked, "What exactly can you offer me?"
"I've heard you're on the hunt for someone," Eren stated calmly, noticing the flicker of killing intent in her eyes, though she masked it well.
First, Aster had intervened and saved the girl she sought. And now, Eren seemed to have knowledge of it too?
"The one responsible for the death of your envoys..." Eren clarified, able to guess her thoughts. If anything, he had intentionally chosen such vague words to see just how much of a problem the Holy Priestess considered the girl that he had saved.
"I can lead you to the Sea Dragon Empress," he told the Holy Priestess, who appeared slightly more relieved.
"Are you saying you can lead me to her? If it was that easy to find her, do you think I would have failed?"
"You can not find her because of her Dragon Tongue Magic that's perfect for this. But I'm different from you. I can lead you to her." Eren stood up, approaching the Holy Priestess who also stood up, controlling the disgust rising inside her as his aura came closer.
Eren also saw her discomfort which was quite surprising for him. It was clear that the Holy Priestess was containing some hatred towards him but it wasn't a hatred that came from knowing his past. If that was the case, she would have already attacked him.
It was more like a hatred that rose from within, maybe accompanied by some memories.
Eren was not sure why that was the case. If she knew that he was Ren Necroline, she wouldn't have to worry about offending Feng Yu by killing him. If anything, the other Overlords would have been more pleased if that happened.
'If that's not the case, then is it because of my aura?'
The only thing that came to his mind was his aura that felt like it was of the opposing element to the Holy Priestess. That's why her holy domain had also weakened against him.
'Could it be that she knows something about the owner of this aura? I would have loved to ask her but I don't believe she would answer. Moreover, it's slightly more fun to mess with her when she is holding back so much.'
Eren reached out his hand, taking the Holy Priestess' hand in his hand. He raised her hand, giving her a Knightly kiss on the back of her hand.
"It would be my pleasure to help you. However, I do have one condition."
....
In another part of the city, the Sea Dragon Empress was looking in the direction of the Duke's Palace. She had seen the Holy Priestess enter the Palace, followed by Eren who was the person responsible for her brother's death.
In her eyes, it was clear that the two of them were working together. One of them killed her brother and the other had started hunting for her without any reason.
In her eyes, the hatred had only flamed even more, especially directed towards the four Overlords.
Mist had annihilated so many Sea Dragons during their last rampage when they left the sea to search for that person. As for Feng Yu, she was hiding the person responsible for her brother's death. And now, the Holy Priestess was also just as bad.
The only one left was the Necromancer Tower Master, but he was the only person she hated more than anyone else in the world. Even her hatred towards the Eren paled in comparison to the Necromancer Tower.
It was said that the person who killed the Celestial Dragon was someone from the Necromancer Tower. He used the accursed magic when killing the Celestial Dragon by corrupting his soul.
It was him who took everything from the Dragons. And many years into the future, the Sea Dragons were still treated like objects by the Necromancer Tower.
She even remembered how her father had died. It was the Necromancer Tower Master who came to the Sea Dragon's habitat, saying he needed a Sea Dragon's Corpse for something.
When her father refused him, the Necromancer Tower Master killed her father and dragged his corpse away. All she could do was watch as his cold eyes ignored her as if she was an insect.
"They are all the same. The moment I break the seal on our Bloodline, I will turn their world upside down!" She turned her back towards the Duke's Palace, realizing that it was dangerous to stay here now.
She had come here to rest and gather some supplies as she had been traveling for a long time while avoiding the attention of the Holy Church. But now, the Holy Priestess was personally here.
She didn't want to take the risk of getting caught, especially since her revenge was still incomplete.
As for dealing with Eren, it was something she left for the future. Now that she knew that he was a Great Elder of the Demon Sect, she could always find him. She didn't have to search for him anymore, not even knowing his identity.
"May I ask what will you turn upside down?"
As soon as the Sea Dragon Empress turned to leave, she heard a voice coming from above her.
She raised her head and saw a young man sitting at the edge of the roof with his feet hanging in the air.
"You!" The Sea Dragon Empress looked at the man's face, her expressions darkened. The person was none other than Eren who was simply sitting there akin to a spectator, eating some berries.
"Since you came by yourself then I might as well take your life before leaving!"
She had calmed her heart with great struggle but looking at his mocking gaze, she couldn't control herself.
