Chapter 217: Chapter 217: To protect Felona?

The Spirit Warriors struggled to even raise their heads under this pressure. It was as if something within their bodies was forcing them to not resist this pressure.

They felt helpless as if they were just the puppets of this person. There were also a few who forced their bodies beyond limits to try and stand up but they also failed.

All the Spirit Warriors could see with their head down were the feet of Eren.

"You said I don't care about your lives. You're right, I don't. As I'm a person like that, do you think I would care if I kill all of you here?" he asked, his eyes looking down on the person who was talking the most.

Looking at his cold eyes, the Spirit Warrior felt as if he was being stared at by a demon.

He wasn't scared even when he faced the Necromancer, but when he looked in Eren's eyes, there was fear that came from the depths of his heart. His hands had started trembling beyond his control.

"Those who don't like serving me... Those who are too proud... They can tell me right now. Let me free you from this misery."

The body of the Spirit Warrior trembled as he watched a Sword appear in Eren's hand. He didn't aim the sword at anyone, but his meaning was clear.

The Spirit Warriors had only two choices. They could follow his will, or they could accept death right now.

Some of the Spirit Warriors who were more willing to die than to serve a human were now frozen in place, unable to even raise a finger. All their courage had disappeared at the sight of the looming death.

"No one?" Eren asked, seeing that no one was willing to oppose him here. "How disappointing..."

He turned around, intentionally revealing his back to the Spirit Warriors. He also retracted his aura, as if giving them another opportunity to make a choice for themselves.

She looked at Eren's face. He was sitting on the throne, his eyes closed as if he was trying to rest. As she thought about how he tried to protect her, she felt something in her heart, a strange feeling.

Yelen also watched Eren's face silently. She was very disappointed at the actions of the Spirit Warriors. Once again they were willing to go against their Queen. It was as if the past was repeating itself.

She wondered if she had been as ruthless as Eren, would she have managed to change her past as well? She didn't realize but she started thinking even higher of Eren.

Over ten minutes passed but no one in the hall moved even an inch. It was only when Eren opened his eyes that the Spirit Warriors flinched in fear.

"I have rested enough. It's time to return."

He stood up and told Yelen that he was prepared to take the second portal back to the library.

Yelen created a portal next to the throne for him to leave, connecting it to the spirit mark she had left in the exact part of the library from where they had left.

As only a small part was covered by the curtain of the table in the library, she couldn't afford to connect to the wrong location even if it's by a few meters.

Felona approached him with some hesitation as she watched the portal open.

"Are you leaving?" she asked him just as he was about to enter.

Eren glanced back at her face which appeared to have some hesitation.

"Why? Do you not want me to leave?" he asked, slightly intrigued. Shouldn't she be happy that he was leaving? She could run the spirit realm as she pleased in his absence. So why did she appear hesitant?

He thought Felona was going to outright deny, but to his surprise he was silent. It was as if she was agreeing to his words but couldn't get her to say it herself.
