Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Like a Villain
Felona wasn't a fool to not understand what Eren was implying.
In this situation, all the Spirits were useless. The only person other than the Necromancer who could still fight was Eren.
She didn't know if Eren could actually defeat the Necromancer, especially one who was this strong. Even she could barely stop his spells while protecting her people.
Despite that, he was their only hope at this moment.
She didn't place her hopes on Eren beating the Necromancer, but she didn't need that in the first place. All she needed was for the Jar in his hand to break.
"Break that Jar. If that happens, we should be able to stop him."
Once the Jar was broken, she believed that they could take their fate in their own hands, instead of relying on others.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for the Spirits to break that jar as all their attacks on it were useless in the first place, and it was even worse in the absence of spirit essence.
Only an outsider could do something like that, and fortunately they had just the outsider.
Eren rubbed his ears, as if he heard something wrong. He didn't react and simply looked at the Spirit Queen.
"Why are you not doing anything?" Estelina stated sternly. "Go and break that thing!"
Eren only sighed in response, while flicking her forehead, making her fall on her back. Even though he didn't use much force, Estelina still lost her balance as she was weak currently.
"You! Are you looking to die?!" Estelina rubbed her forehead. However, before she could even stand up, Eren approached her, his eyes looking at her as if he was looking at something beneath him.
Since he had decided to rob everything from that, he couldn't do that while being a hero. He had to be a villain, and he was ready to play that part.
Under his sharp gaze, Estelina genuinely felt fear rising from the depths of her heart. She didn't feel like it was a human looking at her, but an ancient beast in human skin.
"Young lady, aren't you misunderstanding something?" he asked, his Sword returning to his hand.
He aimed his sword at Estelina's heart, showing her that he could take her life at any moment he wanted.
"First, you kidnapped me from my home. Then you dragged me to this place and tried to trick me into fighting your people at the border city. And now, you want me to fight for you?"
He went down on one knee, bringing her lips closer to her ears. "Didn't I tell you that I would kill you if there's a third time? Should we see if I can actually do that or not?"
Estelina turned pale. She had forgotten that Eren was a person who hadn't listened to him even once since she brought him here.
Even when she could use the Spirit Essence, he was still willing to fight back. Even when he was surrounded by Spirit Warriors in the Border City, he still threatened to kill her.
When she could fight, he wasn't scared of her. On the other hand, she couldn't even fight back now. She didn't even know who was a bigger threat for them? The Necromancer, or this seemingly ordinary man?
She had brought Eren here, thinking that they were the wolves and he was a treasured sheep. But was it the other way around? Were they the sheep instead? Did she bring a wolf into her home?
She didn't think that Eren would be evil or dangerous, just because he was with Xiu Ying. She didn't know that he was a completely different person from Xiu Ying.
Eren was truly immersed in his act as a villain, learning from all the antagonist main characters he had read about. Although he didn't actually plan to kill any of them, it was truly fun to scare them.
Moreover, scaring them was absolutely necessary for submission. He didn't want to leave any flaws in his completion of the conquering option he had chosen.
He didn't have to beg for the realm to be handed over to him. He didn't have to be rewarded for it. The answer was simple... He absolutely had to conquer this place.
"You pervert, step away from my sister!" Resphi called out, but the moment Eren's gaze turned to her, she also froze in place.
"As for you..." Eren stood up and walked back to Resphi. "Didn't I warn you last time? Shall we see if newborn Spirits bleed?"
He raised a sword, licking his blade like a maniac.
It was another thing he had read a main character do which sounded cool, but in reality, he felt really weirded out while doing it.
Felona stepped between Eren and her daughter, hiding Resphi behind her.
"What do you want in exchange for your help?" she asked, bringing the topic back to the Necromancer.
"Help? I'm afraid I'm not planning to help protect outsiders. But if it was something that was mine... I would definitely protect it. I don't like anyone taking my things after all."
Eren lowered his sword, while glancing at the Necromancer who himself appeared confused to see what was happening on the ground.
He thought the people were either going to be scared, or begging him for forgiveness. He even expected them to try to fight him. But he didn't expect the Spirit Queen to completely ignore him.
Instead, all her attention was on the human.
"It seems I gave you too much time to play around. Let's finish it then," he said while completing another seven stacked Magic Circle of Inferno.
Felona understood the implications hidden behind Eren's words. He wasn't just asking for a reward from them. Instead, he was asking for everything they had.
He was asking to become an absolute ruler of the Spirit Realm. If she had heard it in the past, she would have laughed at it. A human wanted to rule over the Spirits and their home? It was an absurd thought in itself.
Not only would she have laughed at his request, but she might have even killed him for having such thoughts in the first place. But now... Things had become a lot more complicated.
