Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Pervert, stop playing with me!

Eren had seen the Border City of the Spirit Realm, which looked like an ordinary city. There was nothing special about that city except for the barrier.

The Royal City, on the other hand, was completely different.

The city in front of his eyes looked like it had been pulled straight out of a fantasy. He could see many islands floating through the clouds.

All these floating islands looked as if they were forming a staircase that led to the highest island, which was also the smallest in size.

Eren took a step forward, but the moment he did, he heard a feminine voice come from below.

"Hey buddy, watch out where you walk!"

Stunned, he retracted his foot. He looked down, but there was no one there except the soft grass.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to fight?!" The voice came again while the grass rustled.

"This grass... It can talk?" Eren went down on his knees, fascinated by the realization that the grass was talking to him. Just what kind of world was this?

"Was it really you who was talking?" He touched the grass softly.

"Kyaaa! You perverts, stop touching me!"

Eren's lips twitched as he momentarily lost control of his expressions. This was the first time he was called a pervert by wild grass of all things!

"I see. No wonder you didn't like me. So you were swinging in this direction," said Estelina mockingly as she came out of the portal as well.

"Saintess! Save me from this pervert!" The grass rustled again.

Eren had the urge to almost stomp this grass. Why the heck would he be interested in grass? Just what kind of kink did she think he had?

"What is this thing?" he asked as he started flicking the grass.

Also, wha-"

Eren suddenly went silent in the middle of his response, realizing something.

"Ah, Estelina? Why does your voice sound so different?"

"Because it wasn't my daughter speaking," the woman said.

Following her words, there was a scary silence in the place. Eren's expressions turned dark as he realized the meaning behind those words.

This person was calling Estelina her mother. And according to Estelina's stats, her mother was the Spirit Queen herself. That meant the person behind him was...

He removed his hands from the spirit grass and facepalmed.

"Sob, sob! Queen Mother, save me from this pervert!" The Spirit Grass requested like a child asking for the person who stole his candy to be punished.

The Spirit Queen walked past Eren and went down on her knees, patting the Spirit Grass gently.

With her being so close, Eren just had to look sideways and he could see her. But he felt as if he was going to die if he turned around at that moment.

He wondered if he could actually defeat this person with the help of his Pendant of Poison.

Ordinary attacks didn't work on spirits. That was already a disadvantage for humans and one of the things that made Spirits so formidable. However, his Poison was different.

"My daughter told me that you are very interesting. You are able to see the Spirits despite being in contract with them," the Spirit Queen calmly said. Under her caressing, Spirit Grass slowly went down and fell to sleep.

"There are only two types of people who can see a Spirit in the human realm. One who has a contract with the Spirits, and the others are those who had come to the Spirit Realm before. But you are neither."

"She also said that you have a very interesting pendant." The Spirit Queen turned around and brought her face closer to Eren's Pendant of Poison.

While she observed the pendant of poison, he felt her warm breath brush against his skin. For the first time, he was able to see her face.
