Chapter 150: Chapter 150: For a ride

"I can only call you naive. You are truly the person who thinks that they know everything, even though their knowledge is flawed from the start."

Archbishop Nathaniel didn't agree with Eren. His faith was strong, and so was his belief. For him, Eren didn't know what he was talking about.

"Oftentimes, arrogance blinds people to reality. And when they see the truth, it's too late. All they can do is regret. It seems you are also walking the path of regret."

He tried to sow a seed of reflection in his heart.

"I am walking two paths, and neither of them is regret. There might be a few things I will regret in the future, especially some of my actions. But isn't that what being human is all about?" Eren responded.

"Being human is about making choices at every section of our lives. It's about doing things that might make you uncomfortable, as long as they benefit you," he added. "Which human doesn't have one regret or another?"

"Right or wrong, a human creates his own path. And that's what makes him human. I am much happier being a human, rather than being someone's puppet."

"Are you calling me a puppet?" The Archbishop frowned.

"I never named you," Eren answered. "I only spoke in general. If you want to take that for yourself, I can't do anything about it."

As the disciples fought their way into the sect, Nathaniel and Eren continued their conversation.

Standing in the back, Ye Liang didn't understand a single thing they were talking about. Just what were these two arguing about?

Nathaniel's frown deepened, but he said nothing. He was starting to feel that it was useless to argue with someone who did not even consider his words.

The disciples were making good progress. The sect they had arrived at was indeed weaker than the Asura Sect, but that did not mean they could afford to be careless.

Eren's train of thought was interrupted by a loud explosion from the direction of the sect. It seemed that some of the disciples were encountering some resistance.

Nathaniel glanced at Eren, noticing his lack of concern. "You seem awfully confident in them."

Eren didn't answer. He simply observed. If these disciples couldn't even finish this with the artifacts he had provided them, then they could only be called useless.

It was said that dying was much better than having their soul enslaved. He didn't expect a mere elder to know the same skill.

He didn't know if Eren was telling the truth or bluffing, but he didn't want to take the risk. He was going to die anyway, so there was no point in risking his soul.

He lowered his head in fear, the defiance in his eyes dying down.

He told Eren everything, even the method to open the treasury.

"You can kill him now," Eren told the disciples as he went towards the Treasury.

After robbing the entire place, he returned. On the way back, he saw the body of the Sect Master. He didn't know the method of soul enslavement, but it didn't matter. He had already received everything.

"I had no enmity with you or your sect. If you are in your afterlife and want to haunt someone, go to Feng Yu," he told the lifeless body before flying to the ship.

For the next few days, the Great Demon Sect's Battleship was seen all around the Eastern Continent. And everywhere this ship appeared, a sect disappeared from the continent.

Within a few days, every single sect in the continent was destroyed except the Great Demon Sect.

Eren robbed the last sect as well before landing on the ship.

"If you are done, can we finally go back to the Demon Sect?" Nathaniel asked, growing exhausted after waiting for so many days.

"And here I was planning to take the ship for a ride," Eren jokingly replied.

Just as Nathaniel turned serious, Eren used the communication talisman.

"Take us back to the Sect. We are done here," he said while looking at a notification screen before him.
