As Eren held the sword in his hand, he was able to use the effects of the Pendant of Poison. He didn't even need to physically possess the pendant.
His aura also became stronger, and carried the scent of poison. It was to the point that he felt that even the domain of Ruler of Oceans was struggling to contain it.
Even though the Sword Emperor's Aura was strong previously as well, he had always felt that it was missing something. However, now it felt more complete.
Holding the sword in his hand, Eren truly felt as if he had stepped into an entirely different realm.
When faced with Eren's aura, the man already felt a strange sense of suppression. Looking at Eren, the man felt as if he could see a silhouette of a poisonous nine headed hydra behind him.
He quickly snapped back to his senses, realizing that the aura was affecting his mind. It was like a poison that affected him passively.
He used his destructive aura to shield his body and mind from this poisonous aura.
"I don't know much about this person, but he is dangerous. If I was alone, I could fight him. But fighting him while ensuring your safety will be harder. We should leave," he told the girl behind him.
Previously, his enemies were insignificant. He could easily kill them without worrying about the safety of the woman he was protecting. But now, he wasn't certain if he could maintain her safety.
If he had to worry about her safety, he couldn't focus on killing Eren. He wasn't even sure if there were more people hiding nearby. He couldn't leave that girl alone.
"Is he that strong?" the girl asked, her eyes trying to see through Eren's soul just as she had tried with the Holy Emperor.
He made a split second decision and reached out his hand to catch the sharp blade of the sword. Even if Eren's sword was a treasure, he didn't believe that it could slice through his hand which was surrounded by the chaos essence.
In this world, there was nothing that was more powerful than his chaos essence, which he received from his master.
With his other hand, he pushed the girl back to create some distance to deal with Eren. Even though he wanted to send her back first, he didn't believe that Eren was going to allow it.
He reached out his hand to catch Eren's sword. His essence wrapping firmly around his arm, taking a shape similar to gauntlets around his arm.
His chaos gauntlet grabbed Eren's blade. Meanwhile, he clenched his other fist, preparing to punch Eren as soon as he stopped the sword.
"Huh?" His expressions twisted, as he suddenly saw blood splatter everywhere. It was his own blood.
He saw his fingers and half of his palm flying in an entirely different direction. At the same time, the green shadow of the sword came straight for his neck.
At that moment, he even forgot about punching Eren. He arched his back backwards, barely avoiding Eren's sword which just brushed past his chin.
Eren didn't let him go with each. It wasn't often that he received such a good opportunity to take down an enemy. He twisted his wrist, changing the direction of his sword, thrusting it down.
Fortunately for the man, he had received enough time to use his other abilities. He quickly turned into smoke, disappearing. Eren's Sword passed through his body that was nothing but smoke.
His real body appeared in the distance, his eyes still filled with disbelief. He looked at his right hand, half of which was missing. Normally, his hand should have healed, but to his surprise, his hand wasn't healing.
"How is it possible? Just what is that sword? How can it slice through the chaos?"
