As the Cardinal reached near the barrier that had been shrouding the city, he brought a token out of his pocket.
The token started shining with the same aura as the barrier. An opening appeared in the barrier, large enough for the Pegasus to easily pass.
Experience more on m,vle,mp _yr.
The Cardinal left the city through the opening in the barrier with Eren following closely behind.
As the Holy Emperor, Eren also had a token of his own that could create an opening in the barrier. If anything, his pass had even more authority than the Cardinal, albeit not as much as the Holy Priestess had.
After he and Eren passed through the hole in the barrier, it closed and the Holy City was sealed again.
Eren had experienced flying in the sky. He even rode a Phoenix, but the experience of rising a Pegasus was quite unique in itself.
Strangely enough, it felt no different than riding a horse on the ground for some reason. It was as if the Pegasus was actually running in the air. The only difference was that he didn't have to guide the Pegasus using the reigns.
As Eren soared through the sky on the Pegasus, he took a moment to appreciate the breathtaking view. The vast sky stretched endlessly, covered with clouds that seemed so close he could almost touch them.
It was at moments like this that he didn't regret coming into this world at all. He could never experience things like these back on earth.
Even though this world was dangerous, he had subconsciously started accepting and appreciating it more than he did when he first came here.
"How long are we going to wait for him?" she asked the young man nearby, who was pacing back and forth.
"Maybe he's been caught and killed already?" she suggested. "If he's dead, that's bad. But if he's been caught alive, it might even be worse. He could expose our location. Are you sure we shouldn't just leave?"
She knew that Aster had saved her on instructions from Eren. It proved to her that Aster didn't have any ulterior motives. If anything, he didn't even know why they saved her.
If anyone could have ulterior motives, it was Eren. If possible, she didn't want to meet that person again.
She had been trying to convince Aster to leave with her, but the person was really stubborn. She realized that he was loyal to Eren, so even if she tried to leave alone, he was not going to let her leave.
She could only turn him against Eren by suggesting a possible betrayal. Eren's delay in arriving also gave her a good opportunity to make stories that might as well be true.
It had been over a day since she had escaped the Duke's City with Aster. They had been waiting for Eren, but there was still no sign of him.
"He won't be caught by the Duke," Aster answered while shaking his head lightly. He knew what kind of person Eren was. After all, he had died at that person's hands once.
Eren was also someone who faced the Southern Overlord and managed to leave alive. How many people in the world could kidnap an Overlord's daughter and still survive?
If Eren could survive all of that, then could a mere Duke really stop him? He had been so influenced by Eren's actions, he believed that even if the Holy Priestess had tried to kill him, she might fail as well. So what was a mere Duke?
"He will get here soon." He said while getting back to another rock to rest. Just as he was about to sit on the rock, he noticed a folded piece of paper lying on the rock.
"How did it get here?" Curious, he picked up the folded piece of paper and unfolded it.
