Ancestral Elder Yang's vision blurred as he struggled to keep his composure. At first, he didn't understand why he had suddenly started feeling so sleepy.
The moment he started getting suspicious, he pushed the woman back, it was already too late. His vision had already grown blurry. He stepped back, almost stumbling.
"What did you do to me?!" he asked as his sleepiness kept getting stronger. But the woman didn't answer, only gazing at him calmly.
"There is no point in struggling. Now that you are here, you might as well stay behind and help me."
After a brief moment, the woman known as Ghost Queen broke the silence, watching Ancestral Elder Yang barely standing with the support of the wall.
Ancestral Elder Yang thought about running away but his body refused to listen as his eyes slowly closed, as if a witch had cast a sleeping magic on him. Even his thought process had slowed down while he slid on to the ground, falling asleep.
The two unconscious women in the cage were oblivious to the scene unfolding around them. However the men who accompanied Yang shifted uneasily.
They turned around, leaving the cage behind and simply started running, only to realize that it was futile.
The reason Ghost Queen took action against Ancestral Elder Yang was because he was strong. He was the only one who could escape her pursuit. His followers did not have that ability.
With great ease, the Ghost Queen caught up to the followers of Ancestral Elder Yang, knocking them out.
One after another, she dragged all the followers inside her lab before taking Ancestral Elder Yang with her as well. With these men, she had everything she needed.
After taking the men inside, she again left the hall and watched over the cage in which two women were lying.
"Although I already have enough people, more materials never hurt. If there comes a time when I need more, you two can be put to use." The Ghost Queen's eyes glinted with a sinister delight as she approached the cage, her fingers gently brushing over the bars.
She thought about taking action herself but at the last moment, she gave up as she realized that Ghost Queen wasn't planning to sacrifice the girls. It gave her some time to at least inform Eren.
She turned around, but not before calling Felona to keep an eye on Eren's Disciples, not wanting any accidents to happen.
Only after bringing Felona, she passed through the metallic door and left the lab. She quickly rushed back to the officer of Axxel, but the moment she passed through the door, she saw Axxel standing there, perfectly fine.
For a moment, she was stunned before feeling a familiar contract bond from the person. She looked in the corner and saw the real Axxel who had long been killed with a hole in his chest.
Eren had already shed the disguise of Liyone and taken the guise of Axxel which allowed him more freedom when dealing with his disciples.
Eren sent the body of Axxel to the Spirit Realm for it to be dealt with, not needing it anymore.
"Did you find the so-called Ghost Queen?" he asked Yelen while pushing the door open, stepping out of the office.
"I did. That woman is quite crazy. She is planning to bring a dead person back to life."
"A dead person back to life? Was that even possible?' Eren asked, slightly taken aback.
If it was possible to bring the dead back to life, then what if some idiot found a way to bring Ye Liang back to life? It was truly a hassle but he was sure that it was impossible.
He had even devoured Ye Liang just to make sure, not even leaving the body behind for anyone to try.
"I don't know who she's planning to bring back to life, apparently it's someone called Aster," she told Eren.
"Can you repeat that?" Eren frowned, coming to a sudden halt.
