Eren's mind was filled with questions. He had a feeling that what he had learned so far was just a small piece of a complex puzzle.
Was he a piece of the puzzle or the one who was going to destroy this puzzle with his presence, he didn't know yet.
In the novel, he looked down on Ren Necroline.
For him, Ren was just a minor villain who was the first to die at the hands of the Main Character after messing with him. But the more he came to learn about Ren, the less it made sense.
Did the novel he read manipulated? Was the content related to Ren changed? Or was something else going on? If possible, he wanted to talk with the author just one more time.
Unfortunately, he didn't have any more question vouchers left. And the chances of the third one dropping were very low.
He stood up and walked away from the throne, his long robe getting dragged across the marble floor behind him. As he left the grand hall, he couldn't shake off the lingering feeling of unease.
He walked across the empty hallway, only the sound of his footsteps accompanying him across the silent hallway.
Along the way, he didn't see any guards or servants. All of them had already left the palace to help the Spirit Queen clean up on the third island, leaving the grand palace completely empty.
"Hmm?"
He had only taken a few steps when he heard the sound of wind rushing from behind him, accompanied by a familiar feeling.
He stopped and turned around.
"So there you are."
He saw Celeste, just as small as ever, flying towards him. However, she wasn't empty handed anymore. She was carrying a cup that looked like it was made from gold.
The cup itself appeared larger than Celeste, almost twice her size. Still, she flew towards Eren while carrying it.
Eren reached out his hand. Celeste dropped the golden cup while landing on his shoulders, wiping her sweat.
"Did you go looking for it?" Eren asked while using the Identification Skill on the golden cup.
In a war with the Main Character, he couldn't be righteous. He couldn't play with his life. Everything was fair for survival, even if he had to steal from the others.
Eren brought another cake from his inventory, which was the favorite of Celeste. He returned to the throne room and placed the cake on the throne, letting Celeste eat it to her heart's content.
If the other spirits were to see that their Queen's throne was being used as a dining table, their reactions could only be a sight to behold.
....
At the moment, all the Spirits were taking care of the aftermath of the battle against the Necromancer.
The ones who were affected the most by this were the Spirits in the Border City which was completely destroyed. Everyone in that city was killed, and all buildings destroyed.
Spirit Queen Felona personally went to the border city, looking at the carnage that was caused by the Necromancer.
She assigned even stronger Warriors in this place. Their job was to protect this place while a new city was created with the help of Spirits from Royal City.
She was also more concerned about the future of the Spirit Realm.
On one hand, she was worried that someone even stronger than the Lich might come next to attack them. She wanted to be prepared when that happened, so that no more Spirits had to lose their lives.
On the other hand, she was worried about Eren. But only did she accept him as the true ruler of the Spirit Realm, but he also had the first spirit queen working for him.
If he wanted, he could be a bigger disaster for them than any Necromancer ever.
"Are you worried about him?" The first spirit queen appeared behind Felona who was lost in thoughts.
Felona was surprised to hear her words, wondering if she could hear her thoughts.
"It would be a lie to say that I'm not worried. Under me, the Spirits lost their home to a human. I might as well be the biggest criminal in our history," Felona answered.
Yelen placed her hand on Felona's head. Even she appeared to be uncertain about what the future held.
"He might bring the Spirit Realm to greater heights, or he might be the worst disaster that anyone has ever experienced. Only time can tell..."
