Chapter 89: The Entire City

Eren did not understand why Elder Ren was so strong. Even Astral did not last in front of him. The Hero who was impossible to kill, had died like an insect.

If Elder Ren was that strong, how was his Cultivation sealed? No, how did he even have such a strong Cultivation in the first place?

Elder Ren was the heir of the Necromancer Tower. If his links were traced, then it was next linked to the Hero Academy. It was only recently that Eren was said to arrive in the Eastern Continent. So how was this possible?

He could feel that something was going on, but he wasn't able to understand.

'It seems only with the Memory Fragment, I can get an answer.'

At the end of the day, no matter how much he thought about it, everything was only his assumption.

He wasn't even certain if this was actually his Cultivation that he used, or if it was some hidden effect from the Unseal Talisman. That thing did not come with any description either.

He had long guessed its effects with the name, but he knew he could just as easily have underestimated this thing.

The only thing he knew with certainty was that the Memory Fragment held the answers. Only after looking through Elder Ren's memories, he could turn his assumption into confirmation.

"Are the heroes really dead?" he asked Xiu Ying. "Mist would really raise hell... How far are we from that city? How much time has passed?"

They needed the Sea Dragon. And to reach their habitat, they needed to reach the Ocean. Unfortunately, things had become more complicated.

He really hoped that Mist was not going to take action. If Mist came, then all hell was going to break loose. Even with the Unseal Talisman, he did not believe that she could be defeated.

In the Novel, the four Overlords were never shown to fight. But there was one word that was often used to describe them. And that word was Invincible.

He knew authors had a tendency to exaggerate the strengths of characters, but he really did not want to verify it if possible.

"Mist will not know anything. We should have a few more days before she finds out."

"I'm not angry at you." Eren patted Xiu Ying's head. "You bought some time for us, so don't feel down."

Even though Eren was taken aback by this news, he understood that it was all for his safety. If she hadn't done that, then the news would have already reached the Academy.

When he woke up, he would be seeing Mist's face instead of Xiu Ying's face. He knew well enough which face he preferred.

"It is fine. I had enough rest. We should still be on our way. The faster we finish, the faster we can return home."

Eren brought the Phoenix out of the Inventory. The Phoenix appeared in the sky, spreading her beautiful wings wide.

Xiu Ying helped him up. The winds of phoenix gently surrounded Eren's body, helping him fly above.

"Hmm, where is Celeste by the way?" Eren asked the moment he landed on the Phoenix.

In his conversation, he had completely forgotten about the little girl.

He looked in his pocket, and nothing that she was right there. Celeste was peacefully sleeping in the small space, like a little child.

Eren felt a little relief to see that she was safe. He also felt a little bad that Celeste l had to see him like that. If possible, he did not want her to see him like that.

"I will give you lots of cakes when you wake up," he gently said, making a promise.

As soon as he finished, Celeste opened her bright eyes like a child that had heard her favorite word.

"You..."

Eren started laughing at her response. But he kept his promise, even if it felt like he was bribing a child.

He brought a cake that he had stored in his inventory, and sat down.

Celeste happily jumped in the cake, while the Phoenix flew towards the ocean.
