"First law?" The Cardinal frowned, not understanding what Eren was talking about. However, in the next moment, his expressions suddenly changed. He felt an overwhelming sense of danger.
His instincts were screaming, telling him to get away from Eren. Unfortunately, it was too late. In front of his eyes, Eren broke the chains, grabbing the Cardinal's wrists.
"The first law of being a villain... Talking too much can lead to death," Eren said, his voice laced with a scary calmness.
The Cardinal struggled to free his arms, but he couldn't break Eren's iron grip. Before he could try anything else, Eren kicked his chest, sending him flying back.
The Cardinal's arms were ripped off from his body, leaving them in Eren's hands. Eren tossed the arms aside, but not before taking the dagger from them.
He swung his arm, sending the dagger towards the Cardinal, as if it was a dart while the cardinal was the target board.
Before even landing on the ground, the Cardinal controlled his body. He used the holy essence to remove the pain that he was feeling, making sure his kind was still calm.
He regained control of his body to dodge the dagger. However, just as he was about to move, he felt something strange.
Suddenly, something had tightly wrapped around his body. It felt no different from his holy chains. The only difference was that he couldn't see these chains.
His ankles, his waist and even his neck was caught by these chains.
"Spirits?!" He asked in disbelief, realizing what was happening. "How could a Spirit be strong enough to hold me back?"
The dagger soon struck his shoulder, completely immobilizing his body. Even though it was a dagger created by him, he wasn't immune to its effects either.
"You are right. A spirit can't hold you back, but that only applies in the Holy Continent, especially if the Spirit is..." Eren didn't finish his sentence, only glancing at Yelen who was silently standing behind the Cardinal, controlling those chains.
Eren didn't talk with the Cardinal any longer, calling out his Sword.
Yelen appeared in front of the Wind Tower Master and told her that Eren wanted her help. Before even hearing what help Eren wanted, she agreed. That young man had freed her from the shackles of slavery. If possible, she wanted to return the favor.
Her resolve only strengthened when Yelen told her about the involvement of the person who had possessed the body of her son.
Once the Wind Tower Master agreed, Yelen connected a portal to the Spirit Realm and further connected that portal to the Northern Continent.
She held the Wind Tower Master's hand and entered the portal to guide her.
....
Meanwhile in the Northern Continent, Eren had finished dealing with the aftermath of his battle.
He walked back to Ruby, who was looking at him in disbelief. In front of her eyes, a Cardinal of the Holy Church had been killed. It was comparable to the Guardians of the Necromancer Tower being killed.
If she was impressed by Eren when he killed the guards of her family, then she was truly looking at him like a god now.
'If it is him, he can definitely save her father.' She thought.
She quickly came down off the Pegasus and landed on her knees, touching her forehead on the ground like she was begging him for help.
"Please save my father! I am willing to do anything in return!" she exclaimed.
Eren didn't care about saving her father. He only had two goals for now.
One of his goals was to kill Fey, the Transmigrator who had the ability to enslave people. His other goal was to start a war between the Necromancer Tower and the Western Continent.
Both of these goals were connected to the Kiel Family. Even if the girl hadn't asked him for help, he was willing to involve himself. This was a war he couldn't ignore, as things were going to become even more dangerous if he let them be.
