As the memories and emotions flooded Felona, she felt a sense of calm enveloping her. She felt happy that she could protect him.
She stood silent, facing the unknown man, her twin daggers brimming with spiritual energy. Her heart filled with acceptance, knowing full well the likely outcome of this confrontation.
The unknown man observed her with slight surprise. Normally, the girl should have tried to escape while Eren was keeping him busy.
If she did that, he would have killed both of them at the same time. He had already prepared for it. To his surprise, she attacked him instead. It became somewhat clear that she had enmity with him.
Not only that, she was also very arrogant about her abilities, believing that she could hurt him as well.
"If you had kept your enmity to that man, I wouldn't have to hurt you. But you came for someone you shouldn't have." The aura surrounding him became heavier.
At that moment, the world seemed to pause. He blinked, appearing in front of Felona who reacted fast. Multiple spirit chains came out of the ground, tightly wrapping around the man's body like a poisonous snake that wanted to restrict his movement.
Once he was restricted, Felona slashed with her dagger. To her surprise, the dagger easily sliced through the man's chest, letting blood splatter all over her clothes.
"Did I... succeed?" she thought in disbelief. She never expected it to be this easy. Was the man weaker than she thought? He couldn't even break her shackles?
Even though she was surprised, she didn't stop. She kept stabbing the dagger in the man's body, as if not taking any risk. At last, she sliced through his neck, making his head fly through the air.
The man's head flew higher, eventually falling on the ground with a thud. His eyes remained open, still focused on the woman. Even as he was destroyed so brutally, he didn't make even the slightest noise.
His head rolled on the ground, carrying a disappointing look in his eyes.
At the same time, the unknown men felt a strange sense of danger. For the first time, he had a feeling as if he was being watched by a wild monster.
He subconsciously jumped back, her expressions turning darker. He looked at his surroundings, wondering where this feeling was coming from. However, the source appeared to be outside the palace.
As he had released Felona, she dropped to her knees, coughing repeatedly.
The sound of calm footsteps echoed at the entrance of the palace as someone stepped inside. The aura of that person was even more intimidating than the Holy Aura of the Emperor.
It was the Sword Emperor's Aura that made even the unknown men feel a sense of suppression.
The man who had arrived, was dressed in the attire of the great demon sect, a long robe draping behind him, still stained with the blood of the monsters that he had killed.
"You..." Felona looked at the person who had arrived, her eyes growing somewhat wet. She looked back at the Holy Emperor, understanding what had happened.
The Holy Emperor lying there was not Eren anymore. Instead, it had been replaced by the clone. Meanwhile, real Eren had returned to his Demon Sect's avatar.
The Demonic Elder of the Great Demon Sect had returned after destroying multiple great clans in the Northern Continent.
The unknown man stopped thinking about Felona. He appeared next to the girl who was standing near the entrance, and in turn near the unknown guest.
The man glared at Eren, whose heavy aura felt like it had been tainted by the bloodshed of millions. The swords that were hanging on the walls had started trembling with each of those man's steps.

Eren stopped merely a few feet away from the man, his cold eyes looking at the man before his gaze shifted to the Holy Emperor on the ground.
