Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Uninvited Guests

"To think that she would come here personally..." Eren raised his head, looking at the distant sky. Right above the Duke's Palace, a woman had appeared.

Shaking his head, Eren jumped into the alley merely a few moments before the woman looked in his direction, missing him by mere fragments of a second.

If possible, Eren didn't want to be seen by the woman when he was disguised as a guard. Unlike the ordinary priests, the Archbishop and those stronger than him could sense the Holy Blessings that a person had received.

Being a Priest who had no blessing was as good as telling them outright that he was in a disguise.

On the roof of the Palace, the Duke had appeared alone, going down on one knee. His back was already drenched in the cold as he didn't dare to raise his head.

He had just finished informing the Holy Priestess about what had happened. He thought that at best, she was going to send a Cardinal to the city but she told him that she was coming here personally.

Only seconds had passed and she was already here? The Duke was scared about his own fate. If the Cardinal was here, then he would at least hesitate a little in dealing with an Archbishop who was also a Duke of the Holy Empire.

The woman was different. She was sitting at the absolute peak of this continent. She could even scold the Holy Emperor to his face, let alone a mere Duke.

"I welcome the Holiness." The Archbishop said respectfully to the woman who had arrived.

The woman smiled warmly at him and replied, "Rise, Archbishop."

From her face, it was impossible to see even the slightest of anger. She was akin to the goddess of kindness that had forgiven every mistake of this world, carrying their sins on her shoulder.

The woman landed on the roof of the Palace, right before the Duke who stood up after receiving the permission.

Even though the Duke stood up, he didn't look straight at the Holy Priestess, always keeping his head down.

If there was one weakness to her, it was her absolute greed. She wanted to make use of the Eastern Continent, which was the only flaw in her Armor.

"Since she wants to use the Great Demon Sect, then I shall give her the Great Demon Sect."

Eren donned the attire of the Eastern Continue with a robe that was only given to the Great Elders of the Great Demon Sect.

Previously, he was a mere elder. However, after helping Feng Yu, he had been promoted to a Great Elder, becoming the youngest Great Elder of the Great Demon Sect.

It was also a way for Feng Yu to give Eren some protection when he told her that he was going to leave the sect. People were going to be more hesitant when dealing with the Great Elders of such a crazy sect after all.

There was one more thing that she had given him, which was a crystal of communication. He could use that to contact her but he knew that it was mostly useless.

Because of the deal between the four continents, the Overlords couldn't enter each other's territory. Knowing Feng Yu, he was sure that she might not care about this treaty and came to help him. He didn't want that. If anything, it was still too early for a war.

Donning the robe of the Great Elder, Eren stopped hiding his presence and stepped out of the alley, walking across the streets with his hand behind his back like an Elder observing the surroundings.

There were quite a few guards along the way but when the Guards looked at his robe, they stopped in places.

They didn't even care to approach that person, only contacting the Archbishop to inform them about what they had seen.

Eren walked straight toward the Duke's Mansion while also keeping an eye on the aura of Sea Dragon Empress.

He didn't see the Empress but he did feel a heavy killing intent that was directed at him.

"So there you are..."

With the killing intent, he was finally able to trace the exact location of the Sea Dragon Empress.
