Chapter 269: Chapter 269: What Fey did!
"Are you sure you want to go there at a time like this?" Yelen asked, confused about Eren's intentions.
It would have made more sense if he wanted to run away instead, but his destination was completely opposite to running away.
Eren appeared to have already made up his mind so Yelen also couldn't do anything about it. She simply trusted his words, realizing that he wasn't someone who would intentionally chase after death.
"Do you want interconnecting portals to the destination or have a rest in the Spirit Realm first?" she asked, confirming his selection.
Eren smiled wryly, asking her, "What do you think I would want?"
From his expressions, it was clear that he still hadn't forgotten the effect interconnecting portals had on his body and soul. If possible, he never wanted to go through interconnecting portals without rest.
It was already enough to experience this one time. He didn't have the masochistic tendencies to torture himself like this.
"We will wait half an hour in the spirit realm and from there, we will go to the destination," he told Yelen.
"Are you going to leave a message for Feng Yu?" Yelen asked Eren, noticing that they weren't far from the Main Hall.
"It is fine. I will be back before long." Eren shook his head, rejecting her suggestions.
As he had already confirmed that the Ancestral Elders weren't going to do anything today, he had plenty of time. He didn't want to waste time in trying to find excuses about where he was going at this time.
Yelen nodded and created a Portal to the Spirit Realm. The two of them entered the Portal together, appearing in the Main Hall of the Royal Palace in Spirit Realm.
As Eren appeared there, he noticed that Felona wasn't there. Thinking that she was probably dealing with other matters related to the Spirit Realm, he didn't call for her.
He simply sat on the Throne, closing his eyes to give his body more rest.
He didn't understand why, but even as his body had become stronger with leveling up, the effect of going through a portal created by a spirit was still the same.
If anything, the stronger he became, the worse these effects appeared to become on his body. He had only gone through one portal which wasn't even interconnecting but he still felt like vomiting.
Fortunately, he controlled himself with the Dragon Tongue, giving more relief to his body. He sat on the throne with eyes closed, wondering why his body was so weak to portals.
After half an hour passed away, Eren opened his eyes, feeling a little more refreshed. Thinking about another portal he had to take, he sighed as if he was tired.
Still, he told Yelen to open the portal. The two of them entered the Portal right as Felona returned from outside, only to see their disappearing backs in the portal.
....
On the other side of the portal, Eren appeared atop a distant mountain, looking towards a Grand Palace that was spread out across thousands of miles.
Many youngsters and adults could be seen in the area, most of them wearing the same uniform as if they were students of some academy.
The place where Eren had appeared was at the heart of the Southern Continent. Normally, it was almost impossible to reach this place as there was a lot of security.
The person responsible for the security also covered the entire space around the Mythical Hero Academy, making it impossible to teleport here without being detected.
At least, that's how it was supposed to be. However, Eren had already killed the person responsible for the spatial protection.
The person was none other than the Vice Dean of the Mythical Hero Academy who was possessed by an Otherworlder. It was Aster who had long been dead.
With his death, the ground that the Mythical Hero could cover with the Spatial Barrier had completely disappeared.
There were a few more Heroes with skills that allowed them to manipulate space, but none of them were as good as After who was the only S rank space lord in the Mythical Hero Academy.
When Eren killed Aster, he hadn't expected his death to benefit him in this way. At the end, it all came in full circle, benefitting him.
Still, the easier it was, the more cautious Eren was. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, especially for people with his luck.
Although his luck had been quite good in the last few weeks, he still didn't let go of his notion that his luck might screw him over when he least expected it.
"Mist seems to be in the Hero Academy. She still hasn't left," Yelen told Eren. Although she couldn't see Mist, she could feel the existence of an extremely powerful being.
The aura of that person itself was hard to perceive. The weaker one was, the harder it would be to notice that aura to the point that an ordinary person might not even find anything strange even if standing next to the person who had this aura.
Only the stronger ones could feel that aura, realizing how terrifying it actually was. It was as if there was a beast who was sitting inside the Mythical Hero Academy that should never be provoked.
"What are we going to do here? How are you going to delay Mist?" she asked Eren, still unclear about his plans.
"The plan is simple. We will do what Fey did. I will plagiarize his idea," Eren said, using the newly stolen disguise bloodline to change his looks into that of Fey.
"Will we do what he did? Are you going to kidnap an Overlord as well? Mist?" Yelen was stunned at Eren's words.
She thought they were here to delay or distract Mist so she couldn't interfere in matters of the Great Demon Sect. But Eren was planning to kidnap Mist? This was his plan?
