Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Finally seeing the charm

"Intruders!"

The Spirit Guard yelled as he caught the sight of something flying in their direction.

As soon as he issued the warning, a bell resounded in the city three times in a row, being heard in every corner of the vast city.

The Spirits that were staying in the city rushed to the safe houses and hid with their families. Meanwhile, the Spirit Warriors rushed towards the border wall.

This was not the first time they had been attacked. They were experienced and well prepared for something like this.

A barrier appeared around the entire city that covered it in a dome. The Spirit Guards gathered to stop the border walls with weapons in hands, watching the flying figure getting closer.

The closer it came, the more clearly they were able to see it. It appeared to be a large bird. They also saw a few people standing on the back of the Phoenix.

"A bird?" One of the Guards looked at the beast weirdly.

"How did they manage to..." Another guard appeared to be confused as this was the first time they had seen a bird like this in the Spirit Realm.

"Don't worry. It's not a hoarde like last time. It should be much easier to take them down!" A man covered in a unique Spiritual Armor stood in the lead, his long hair flowing in the wind.

"Captain Ley!"

The Spirit Guards grew excited at the arrival of their leader. With his presence, they grew even more confident.

Ley raised his Sword. The Spiritual Energy from the Realm started gathering around his sword.

Within seconds, an illusory figure of a sword appeared over him, that reached up to thousands of feet in height.

"That... Are you not going to stop him?" Eren smiled wryly at the sight of the giant sword in the sky.

Perfectly accompanying his movements, the giant sword also fell from the sky. It aimed straight for the Phoenix.

Eren watched the Sword fall from the sky with a heavy frown. He could have his phoenix dodge but the attacks were never going to stop.

He wasn't even sure if the sky sword could also change direction at the last moment. Dodging appeared unlikely.

He could easily destroy that sword if he used the Pendant of Poison, but he also had only two uses left of that.

He could also try other attacks, but he wasn't sure what this sword was capable of. This was his first time against a Spirit.

"Are you sure you don't want to intervene?" he asked Estelina.

"No," Estelina answered without even a second of delay to think about it. "Also, are you sure you want to be distracted at a time like this?"

"I don't know about my time, but..."

Eren reached out his hand towards Estelina and grabbed her fair hand.

"Oh? Did you finally realize my charm? Too late, I'm not going to help you here." Estelina rolled her eyes but she didn't take her hands off.

"I am glad that you are willing to intervene," Eren said with a smile on his lips.

"Intervene?" Estelina was confused. "When did I-"

As she was replying, she felt a strong pull. Eren pulled her hand out of nowhere with all his might. Before she could react, she was swung in the air and tossed towards the falling sky sword.

"As I said, I am glad that you are willing to intervene," Eren repeated under his breath while watching Estelina flying towards the falling sky sword uncontrollably.

"You bastard!!!" Estelina's angry roar was drowned out by the rush of wind as she hurtled towards the sky sword.
