Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Intruders

The woman was frozen in place when she felt the full brunt of the Sword Emperor's Aura. As she was so close to Eren, she felt the suppressive pressure pushing down on her.

Horrified, she freed herself and stepped back. Her face was ghastly pale. When she was under that aura, she truly felt like Eren could kill him.

Eren looked at his hands and sighed. "What a pity..."

Estelina heard Eren's words which made her expressions turn dark. She clenched her fist to stop her hand from trembling.

That horrifying sensation of being at the core of that aura was still fresh in her mind. She had never felt something like that. Even as a spirit, she was scared of it.

Usually, most of the auras couldn't affect a Spirit. Even most physical attacks were useless on them. But something was different about that aura.

She didn't know why, but she felt like a terrifying beast was staring at her when he was being suppressed by the aura.

Was Eren calling it a pity because he didn't want her to give up so she could actually kill her? Was he disappointed that she stepped back? She didn't realize that all her thoughts were going in the wrong directions.

Eren was not disappointed in Estelina. He was disappointed in himself and his lack of strength. He had held Estelina's hands, but she was easily able to free herself.

When she did that, he was able to confirm that she was stronger than him, at least when it came to strength. Still, that didn't mean that he couldn't kill her.

He had his own way to make it happen if he wanted to, but he didn't. He only wanted to scare her and that appeared to have worked.

"The first time, you kidnapped me. And this was the second time you did something without my permission. If there is a third time, there will not be a warning." Eren's words brought Estelina out of her daze.

"Are you threatening me?" Estelina said with clenched teeth. Eren could hear the sound of her teeth grinding as she spoke.

"What a psychopath!" She waved her hand, returning her clothes to their normal. "No wonder you don't fall for me. Because something is really wrong with your head. I feel pity for Xiu Ying."

"There is nothing wrong with my head. It's just that you aren't even close to being as beautiful as her," Eren responded while shifting his focus to his surroundings.

With the Phoenix flying high in the sky, he was able to see his surroundings much more clearly.

"Found it. That must be the city where your mother lives."

At the faraway distance, he noticed what appeared like a city. As the city was too far, it looked really small. But still, he was able to feel that the city was quite majestic.

"You Spirits really know how to live your life." He commented while his Phoenix soared in the sky, flying towards the city.

"My mother and living in that backward city? Don't be absurd. That's just the barren city on the outskirts. The only use that city has is to stop intruders," Estelina explained.

"But that city also has a portal that leads to the Capital City. So you're still going in the right direction."

"Intruders?" Eren asked. "Are there intruders from our world that come here?"

On the topic of intruders, Estelina went momentarily silent.

"You don't need to know about that. Just focus on yourself. It would be a pity if you maintained this arrogance before my mother and she accidentally killed you."

"Why did you even bring me here in the first place? What does your mother even want from me?"

Estelina looked at Eren but she didn't answer. Deep down, she was laughing.

'You bastard, you had fun mocking me, right? Just wait until you meet my mother!'
