Chapter 284: Chapter 284: The Key

Eren caught the small red box. As soon as the box ended up in his hand, he felt a strange yet familiar sensation within his body.

There was definitely something really familiar inside his body that his blood appeared to be craving for.

"I gave you what you wanted. Return my daughter now!" Mist told Eren who was looking at the small box with great fascination.

Just because he felt like there was something familiar inside, he didn't believe that it was what he needed just because of that. He used Identification on the red box.

[You have used Identification]

Name: ###### Box

Grade: Unknown

Description: A box created by ######.

Seal Status: 4/4

'Unknown grade box?' Eren was quite taken aback by the description of the item.

It was the second time he had seen an unknown grade thing, the first time being his own bloodline that still hadn't awakened entirely.

The description of the item didn't give him much detail, even the name of the creator being blurred. The description also didn't tell the purpose of the box, only telling about its creation.

He didn't understand what he was going to do with that information when even the name of the creator wasn't mentioned properly.

The only thing that was even worth the slightest importance was the last line in the status screen which showed that there were four seals on the box.

Even though the description didn't outright confirm if what he needed was inside or not, the implications were clear. What else could have four seals while being an unknown ranked item?

The box shone for a moment before returning to the normal shade. Its status changed a little, showing that only three more seals were left on it.

[Seal Status: 3/4]

"I did everything you asked. It's time for you to keep your promise!" Mist insisted as the wound on his finger healed, visible to the naked eye.

This was the healing ability of Mist which made her even more annoying to seal with. She didn't need any potion or spell to heal herself like the other Overlords.

"Are you in such a hurry to make me leave?" Eren asked innocently as if he had been hurt by her behavior.

While distracting her, he moved his hand behind his back, keeping the red box in his inventory while bringing out the epic tier Talisman out.

In the distance, Eldric saw everything. However, he only saw it as Eren making one thing disappear in thin air and another appear.

He was curious about Eren's real identity or affiliation. Seeing his skill, the only thing he could confirm was that Eren was not from the Eastern or Western Continent as the two used objects like storage rings to keep things, not magic.

Only the Northern Mages and a few rare heroes in the South had the ability like this. Still, it had nothing to do with him. He had no reason to intervene. He was only enjoying the spectacle.

"Remember the good times where we used to play hide and seek? I used to hide and you used to search for me?" Eren asked as he slowly released his grip around Sera's throat.

Looking at his actions, Mist was slightly relieved as it looked like he was about to leave Sera. She was even prepared to react as soon as that happened.

Eren's hand slid down Sera's throat as soon as he released her throat. His hand moved to her collarbone, sliding down.

"What are you doing?!" Mist exclaimed in shock, watching his hand slice down. "Do you have a death wish?!"

Fortunately, Eren's hands stopped right before they were about to touch something softer. Inside of grabbing her breasts like Mist and the others assumed, he grabbed the pendants that were hanging around her neck, pulling them off.

He quickly tossed the pendants that could be used to track Sera away while activating the Escape Talisman.

Sera was stunned and tried to run but Eren grabbed her by the waist, preventing her from running away.

Mist reacted as she realized what Eren's intentions were. He never intended to release her daughter. She rushed forward but she wasn't faster than Eren's Talisman.

"Let's play hide and seek again, for old time's sake." All she heard was Eren's voice as he disappeared with Sera while her body passed through an afterimage.
