Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Using an Overlord

Mist, the strongest person in the Southern Continent, was an enemy that no one wanted to have. Even the Elders of the Academy dreaded her strength.

It had been a long time since the Elders had seen Mist using her full strength.

The last time she used her complete strength, it was also against Devourer. However, she wasn't alone at that time. The other three Overlords were with her as well.

Unlike that time, she was all alone now. She was the only Overlord here, fighting Devourer. Not only did the other Elders not intervene but they also stepped away, creating more distance, worried about becoming an obstruction for Mist instead.

Their only responsibility was to stop any attempts to escape from Eren.

The mist enveloped the lab like a shroud, reducing visibility to almost nothing. It was impossible to see more than a foot ahead.

Strangely enough, the Mist only affected Eren and the unknown masked man who was standing in the distance who was also being observed by a few Elders.

None of the people on Mist's side were affected by the Mist, including the Ghost Queen. As Yelen was also mostly unknown in this situation, she was also quite unaffected by the Mist.

The deathly aura of Aster was also enough of a distraction to keep Yelen's minute spirit presence hidden.

"How nostalgic," Eren mused aloud, letting his seventh sense take over.

Although this was his first time properly facing an Overlord, that wasn't the case for Devourer. He was sure that Devourer had faced this ability when the four Overlords attacked him.

Mist's voice echoed through the fog, layered with rage. "This time I will make sure that you stay dead!"

Eren smirked, his eyes flashing with a mischievous glint. "Are you sure you are capable of that?'

As Eren spoke, he stepped to the size, dodging the daggers made from unknown force that had come flying straight for him. Even in the Mist, he wasn't at the mercy of his sight.

Mist felt a shiver run down her spine as her ears were bit, feeling the warmth of Eren's lips.

Eren soon released her, his hands slid across her belly as he released her, getting a complete feel of her slim waist and that soft skin.

Mist felt a palm hit her butt as if someone had just spanked her. Her face turned red in anger but she didn't dare stop Eren for now.

"Two days... I will return your daughter in two days as I already received what I wanted from you," he said as his footsteps grew distant. "However, if you try to stop me now, you will only find her corpse."

"If you believe that you can afford to take the risk, then try to stop me." Eren simply turned around, his long robe fluttering behind him as he simply walked towards the exit of the lab.

Stunned, the other Elders blocked his path to stop him.

"That's enough!" Mist suddenly called out. "Don't stop him."

One last time, she chose to believe him as her daughter's life was on the line. She waved her hand, creating an opening in the barrier that had sealed the lab.

"I will wait for two days! But if I don't get my daughter in two days, I will paint all four continents in red until I find you and snap your neck!" Mist slowly turned around, looking at Eren's distant back.

Aster also caught up to Eren, his identity still being a mystery for everyone here.

In response to Mist's threat, Eren simply waved his hand, bidding her farewell. He didn't offer any words of confirmation.

Soon, he left the lab and openly walked out of the Mythical Hero Academy.

Not even in their wildest dreams could the Professors have expected that Devourer could enter the academy, kill their Professors and walk out safely right before their eyes. However, this was the reality they were witnessing.

As Eren left the Academy, he didn't notice that from one of the windows, the Prophet was also looking at him with a look of great interest.
