"Can you ever be serious?" Yelen rolled her eyes, but she still didn't take his fingers off her chin.
"Who said I'm not serious?" Eren asked in response, taking his hands off. "I am always serious."
"As if." Yelen didn't believe a single word he was saying. She knew him better than he thought she did.
Eren didn't argue back even though there was truth to his words. He was serious, although he didn't show it on his face to make others worry. He knew how dangerous this situation was.
"I'm going to increase my speed. Can you keep up with me or should I carry you like before?" he asked, activating the Dragon Tongue again.
He placed his finger on his chest, where the dragon bloodline had gathered at the moment.
"Strength."
"Agility."
He cast two simultaneous spells over his body. They were minor and insignificant spells that didn't take much effort to comprehend. Still, when they applied to his body, they supplemented his stats, becoming even more effective.
"You don't have to worry about me. I am not weak, even though I am not in the Spirit Realm."
"Good." Eren nodded, closing his eyes, relying completely on his Seventh Sense.
"Wind's Blessing," he used one more spell in Dragon Tongue. Once prepared, he started running up the mountain.
Along the way, there were many obstructions in his path. There were strange shaped rocks that were a few meters tall. There were also multiple trees that appeared to have grown even in this barren land.
Even though he wasn't able to see clearly, Eren kept running up the mountain. Whenever there were trees in his path, he simply changed his path. When there were rocks on his path, he jumped over them. However, he didn't waste even a single second.
The young man retracted his hand. He walked back, looking at the dark sky. "Holy Priestess of the Western Continent... I wonder how good the second slave will be. I will definitely pay you a visit when I finish conquering my first slave."
"This is just the beginning. At most, it will take one month and I shall become the absolute ruler of this world, having all four Overlords serving me."
His lips crept up as his smile widened at the thought of the future that was to come. From the moment he came into this world, this was all he had been thinking about.
He hadn't even tried to find out more about this world, to the point that he didn't even know that there were only Transmigrators in this world.
All he knew was that there was one Main Character, but he didn't care about that person. From the beginning, he targeted the peak of this world, but he didn't know how to achieve that goal.
Even though it felt impossible, he hadn't given up on his goal. The opportunity he was waiting for came when he received a Question Voucher.
With the guidance of the unknown being who was forced to answer the question, he had already taken the first step towards invincibility.
Who needed to be strong when they could have the strongest beings serving under them? Why would he need to work hard to become stronger when he could have them do everything for him?
Although he only had to wait for a few days, but he was still so eager. Every second felt like it was passing too slowly.
"If only I had some item that could fast forward time by a week," he mumbled, shaking his head in disappointment.
"Hmm?" The smile on his lips suddenly disappeared as he felt something. He looked in a particular direction.
"Someone entered the intrusion threshold that I set? Someone actually came here? Could it be someone from the Great Demon Sect? No, that's impossible. How could they come here so fast? I didn't leave any trail behind."
He shook his head, finding it absolutely impossible.
"It must be someone who was already in this mountain range before I came. What a fool. You survived in the mountain range, only to come across me? In that case, let me welcome you..."
