Eren stepped out of the Dungeon, holding the Sea Dragon Empress like an Empress in his arms.
He observed his surroundings, trying to see if the Holy Priestess had actually arrived yet, or not.
In the distance, he saw the two Cardinals that had escaped from the Dungeon. The two of them were looking straight in his direction.
Frowning, Eren took a step to the left, getting out of their line of sight. However, they didn't move their gaze. It became clear for him that they weren't looking in his direction. Instead, they were looking at the entrance of the Dungeon.
'It seems I was worried for no reason.'
The Cardinals weren't using any treasure that could see through his invisibility. Moreover, to his pleasant surprise, the Holy Priestess was not here yet.
Without wasting a single second, Eren rose in the air and started flying as far away from this place as possible.
The Cardinals remained behind, still observing the Dungeon Entrance, not even realizing that the person they were looking for had already left the Dungeon right in front of them.
A few more minutes passed and an even more frightening aura descended in the place. A portal opened in the sky and a young and graceful woman stepped out of the portal.
Even though the woman appeared extremely beautiful and charming, there was something about her that those who looked at her didn't get any filthy feelings towards her. She was like a goddess untouched by the slightest of dirt.
Soon after, the other Cardinals also arrived there. Within a few moments, the place was overwhelmed by Cardinals. It was as if the entire Holy Church was emptied.
"You said there was a strange dragon here?" The Holy Priestess landed in front of the two Cardinals that had sent a message.
The Cardinals explained what they had seen. Their words even made the Holy Priestess slightly surprised. Even she hadn't heard about a dragon that could be as strong as a cardinal when he couldn't even properly transform into a dragon.
....
Far away from the dungeon, Eren had already noticed the aura of the Holy Priestess descending in the distance. Fortunately, he was far from her range. She couldn't sense him.
He was slightly surprised as the number of auras kept increasing. He even wondered if she had brought almost all the Cardinals to this place, which gave him a very peculiar idea.
As the auras disappeared inside the dungeon, Eren called forth his dragon wings. He increased his speed and flew straight towards the Holy City.
Flying above the horizon, he appeared like a shooting star. Even if someone was to look at the sky when he flew past, they couldn't even see an afterimage. It was all just a blur flashing past them.
Not only did his strength but even his speed had also increased.
Soon, he reached the Holy City with the Sea Dragon Empress in his arms. Using the Emperor's token, he opened a small entrance in the large dome that was protecting the city.
He passed through the barrier but he didn't slow down. In the absence of the Holy Priestess and the Cardinals, this was his territory.
The first thing he did was enter the Holy Palace without being detected. He didn't even go to his ladies. Instead, he went to the Holy Emperor's room.
He had already informed his shadow about what had happened. The shadow was waiting in the room for him.
After reaching the room, he placed the Sea Dragon Empress on the bed and covered her bed.
"I am going out for a while. Keep an eye on her." He told his clothes who could already feel what he was thinking about.
"Are you really going to do this? Even if they have left but it's still..."
"You don't have to worry about my actions." Eren waved his hand, burying the concerns of his clone. He simply disappeared into thin air, leaving the Palace.
