Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Until the moment you die

The Ancestral Elder found Feng Yu, also realizing that she was extremely weak for some reason. She didn't carry the same frightening momentum that she had in the past, appearing no different than an ordinary person.

Although they didn't know why she became like that but they assumed it was because of the cuffs that were on her hand. As they came to the realization, they felt the greatest elation of their life.

Even though they hadn't rebelled with the other Ancestral Elders in the past, being hesitant, they were still punished with forced seclusion.

During this time, they had started to grow more hateful towards Feng Yu who took away their freedom and their authority. It was because of her that their names were almost erased from the Eastern Continent.

Other than the Great Elders who saw that era, no one even remembered them.

"You took our freedom. Isn't it fair that we also take something precious from you?' the Ancestral Elders laughed, their intentions being clear in their eyes.

They didn't even inform Ancestral Elder Yang that they had found Feng Yu as they were sure he would have come here personally to kill Feng Yu after realizing that she was weak. Before informing him, they wanted to let out their anger on her physically.

"Looks like the old dogs have grown really courageous," Feng Yu said, even now not revealing any fear as if she couldn't even feel it.

"It doesn't matter if we are courageous or not. What matters is that you are still not scared. Is it because you believe that man will come to save you?" A dark haired Ancestral Elder asked, revealing an evil grin.

"Did you really expect anyone to truly care about a ruthless woman like you? He has already abandoned you, choosing to protect his disciple instead."

"If anything, he probably used your weakness only to toss you away when things turned sideways!"

"Kek, can we really blame him? If I was in his place, I would've chosen the same thing. The only thing he probably regrets is that he didn't get to taste her before being forced to leave."

"Hahaha, his loss is our gain."

"Until the moment you die at our hands, we own you!" he said as the back of his palm came flying towards her face.

Feng Yu didn't even close her eyes. Even though the dagger was taken away from her, she had other ways to take her life.

However before Feng Yu could try anything, she noticed the palm of the Ancestral Elder stop as a bright light flashed in the hall.

A deep green line as thin as a thread appeared around the Ancestral Elder's neck, giving the deep scent of poison.

The Ancestral Elder was frozen in place as the green line around his throat turned red, merged with blood while his head started sliding to the side.

His fist was grabbed by something that looked like another man's hand before the rest of his body was pulled back and tossed towards the other Ancestral Elders.

The Ancestral Elder's head was falling to the ground, the only thing left behind. However, before it could touch the ground, a foot blocked it and started bouncing it like it was a footfall.

Feng Yu raised her head in disbelief at the sight of the person who stood in front. Once again, at her most vulnerable moment, it was him.

"Y-you! Why are you back!" She spoke, her voice almost starting to break as if she was trying really hard to not be emotional.

The person in front of her was none other than Eren who reached out his hand, gently touching her cheeks.

"I am sorry for being late." His fingers gently caressed Feng Yu as if she was not an Overlord but just a child that had been wrong.

A person could be strong in the face of adversity, when when protected and given sympathy right after that, the barrage of emotions was easy to break.

For the first time in a long while, Feng Yu's eyes became a little wet, feeling more weak than she ever had. Not wanting anyone to see it, she turned her head sideways while slapping Eren's hands away.
