Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Point Confirmed

Almost everyone who was present in the Trial Hall where Devourer had kidnapped Sera knew how he escaped. Even under the restriction of the Main Academy, the man was able to escape.

They didn't know if it was a treasure or ability that he used to escape, it was clear that he used space to escape. That's why Liyone had especially brought a treasure that could seal space properly.

With this treasure, even if it was Mist in this place, she couldn't escape. The only problem was that the treasure was a limited time use item.

It could only be used for half an hour. After that, it needed a month to recharge properly. That's why it wasn't constantly used in the academy.

Normally, this treasure was useless. Even if one was to trap someone as strong as Mist inside it, so what? Who could kill her within half an hour? It was impossible.

That's why on truly strong beings, it was useless. Still, Devourer had not reached that realm yet.

In fact, there were even some Heroes that managed to see that he was weaker than he used to be in the past. He had not used any of the prominent skills that he constantly used in the past.

If it was in the past, Devourer would've killed quite a few people before leaving, trying to weaken the Hero Academy. Strangely enough, he didn't do that this time.

Even to kidnap Sera, he had to use sneaky and cunning methods. It made everyone realize that he was truly different.

People realized that it was probably because he had just returned to life. None of them knew how someone who died could come back to life but that was the reality.

The only thing worth solace was that he appeared to have lost all his previous abilities, which made him weaker. This was also the perfect opportunity for them to kill him before he became as strong as he used to be in the past.

"Point one is covered," one of the Heroes said while placing the gem on the ground and staying behind to protect it.

"Point two is covered," another voice fell in Liyone's ears through the communication device.

"Point three in place."

Almost on the verge of suffocating, the young man was tossed away, hitting his head on a stone. He started bleeding but no one cared.

No one even came forward to help him. In the hand, he had to stand up. Although discontent, he had to find a doctor himself.

"The City is sealed. The others should go back as well." The Hero told everyone. His words made it appear like he was requesting but his tone was that of an absolute monarch.

All those who had tried to leave the city started returning. Even the unaffiliated heroes couldn't do anything except turn back.

They all started returning, none of them looking back. However, as the last person turned back, a hand came from behind the A Rank Hero, closing his mouth.

At the same time, a claw penetrated his back, coming out from his chest, holding onto his heart. The Hero struggled but he couldn't free himself.

He even reached out his hand to call for help. If only the civilians could see him and inform the others, he might be saved. However, none of them looked back.

The only person who looked back was the young man whose head was bleeding. His eyes were slightly shocked as he saw what was happening behind him.

The Hero's eyes lit up, as if begging the young man to inform others. Unfortunately for him, the young man pretended to not see anything. He simply turned around and left.

The vision of the hero turned dark as he lost his life.

Eren tossed his body aside, looking at the heart of the young man.

After a while, he tossed the heart aside. The young man didn't have the ability that he wanted and he wasn't interested in filling his slots with useless abilities.

Instead of the heart, he picked up the small red gem that was buried here.

"Point one confirmed," Eren smiled while keeping the red gem in his inventory.
