Fey wiped the blood off his lips and stepped out of the cave, supporting his weakened body with the wall. Even though he had returned to his real body, but his soul was still hurt.
For some reason, the effect of preservation didn't work properly in front of the attack that came from Eren. Even if he returned, he was hurt to the point that he could barely stand straight.
With his hands on the wall, he supported himself as he walked out of the cave, his expressions dark. He still remembered how Eren told him about inventory.
He couldn't understand how Eren knew about his inventory. Was it because he also had one? Was he something like the main character of this world?
"That is impossible. In the book that I read, the main character was someone else. If I'm not wrong, the Main Character hadn't even made an appearance yet. He should appear when Hell opens. So how?"
He wondered if there were more than one main character. He wondered if he was overconfident in assuming that he knew everything important there was to know about this world just because he read, "Necromancer who returned from Hell."
If possible, he wanted to question the author again as his head was in a mess. However, he had no question voucher. He couldn't even ask for a meeting again.
If the effect of Preservation had worked on the question voucher a second time, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
As he thought about the author, he remembered the person said something akin to the lines of a warning when he was returning. It was as if he knew that something was coming.
"If he's not the main character, then there is only one thing that explains his knowledge about inventory. He is just like me... An Otherworlder."
His lips twitched as he thought out the possibility. He realized a lot of things, especially that he wasn't alone in this world.
"No wonder that bastard author kept warning me. He knew but never told me about this!" Fey punched the wall in anger, forgetting his body was extremely weak.
"I will find your identity. I will break your mind to the point that you would beg me to turn you into my slave to stop it all!" He clenched his fist as he walked away with staggering footsteps.
As for his current destination, he was moving towards the West. The plan to conquer an Overlord had failed, but he still knew the plan to conquer the second.
It was a plan he learned with the use of his question voucher in the mountains of loss.
He had to conquer the Holy Priestess, the Overlord of the west. But before that, he had to recover and make more slaves to help him.
He was looking forward to the next time he was going to meet Eren. And that time, he didn't plan to be taken in by surprise.
Soon, he disappeared into the setting sun in the distance, leaving the long abandoned cave. However before leaving, he didn't forget to activate a talisman in the cave.
Within half a day, the talisman was going to send a signal to the Necromancer Tower. He prepared a trap for Eren in case he was going to come here to catch him.
"I really hope he comes. My dear mother, I hope you tell him the location. Don't disappoint me this time..."

"Are you going to kill her?" Yelen asked Eren, watching his hands slowly creeping towards Feng Yu.
Eren didn't answer, but he had already made up his mind about what he was going to do. It was going to be dangerous if it was discovered, but it was a risk he had to take for his goals.
Yelen didn't ask any more questions. She just wondered how it was going to unfold if an Overlord was going to disappear just like this. The world was truly in for a great shock.
