Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Lucky Star
"I was not the one who brought him here. He came here himself, even surprising me. Isn't his growth a little too fast?" the green-haired man asked, his expression remaining calm.
"You should have stopped him. Instead, you helped him take your sword. Isn't that going overboard, Sword Emperor?" the man with the umbrella said.
If Eren was here, he would have been surprised at the sight of the person. It was none other than the person he addressed as the author.
"I should have stopped him? I am already dead. Even when I was alive, I couldn't stop him. How do you expect me to stop him when I'm dead?" the Sword Emperor replied.
"I am sure you know what I mean." The man with the umbrella said.
"Why would I understand what you big people think?" the Sword Emperor said. "If you wanted to stop him, you should have done that yourself."
The man with the umbrella simply sighed in response. He turned around, his footsteps growing distant.
"Are you leaving already?" The Sword Emperor asked, finally turning around to look at the distant figure of the person.
"I need to prepare..."
....
Eren continued to examine the mark on his upper arm, completely unaware of the significance it held and the events that had unfolded because of what he had initially dismissed as a mere dream.
He was eager to test the mark and see if he could still use the power of the poison pendant, but he knew he couldn't do so in the Holy City unless he wanted to be discovered.
"Identity."
He used the identification on the unknown mark to get more information.
The Identification screen took his entire existence into consideration. Instead of just giving the description of the mark, it showed his entire status screen.

Eren wasn't trying to open his status screen, only being interested in the mark. Still, now that the status screen had appeared, he grew somewhat interested in checking his own growth.
The growth in his stats was not too impressive. As he hadn't crossed the next great wall, it was to be expected. Still, there were some changes in the status screen that surprised him.
The first change he noticed was in his Bloodline sections. His Sea Dragon Bloodline appeared to have transformed for some reason.
Although it had been the purest in the past, it had now changed into a partial Celestial Dragon's Bloodline for an unknown reason.
Unlike being a complete pure sea dragon Bloodline, it was now an incomplete celestial dragon bloodline.
Eren had thought that such a change would only occur if he devoured the Celestial Dragon's heart. However, the transformation had already taken place.
He was curious as to what had caused this shift. The only thing he had done was to save the Sea Dragon Empress.
Still, he knew that he had to complete the Bloodline. Now that his sea dragon Bloodline had become a high-rank celestial dragon Bloodline, it had completed the trio of high ranking Bloodlines for him.
With that, the high-rank Bloodlines were now displayed separately in his Status Screen.
Another change in his status screen was the Goddess' Protection. From one percent, it had now reached five percent.
As for the other changes, they were the ones that were truly confusing for him. The most surprising change was that a new section had appeared.
It was called Death Walking. He didn't understand what it meant but it showed a percentage in front of it. Unlike other sections, this one didn't make any sense for him.
He even felt like using identification on his status screen sections to get more information but it was impossible for this one.
As for the last change, it was the Sword of Retribution which had appeared in the items that he possessed. It was a sword that was also called the Sword Emperor's Sword.
The Sword Emperor's Sword made him think about the Sword Emperor's Aura and the pendant of poison that were able to sync perfectly.
He also thought about the dream that he recently had where he picked up a sword that was in perfect sync with his pendant of poison and Sword Emperor's Aura as well.
"Is that the sword?"
Eren wasn't sure if he was right, but if that was the case, he could only thank his lucky stars as he remembered seeing how powerful that sword actually was.
The most pleasing part about it all was that he didn't have to complete any annoying system tasks to receive the Sword Emperor's Sword.
Recently, he noticed that his luck had been quite different. At least, that had been the case ever since he had defeated the Main Character of the Eastern Continent.
Although he wasn't certain, he truly hoped that this change in fortune would continue.
He soon opened his inventory to see if the sword was indeed the same one he had seen in his dream.
"Hmm? It's not here?" He looked at the inventory in confusion, as there was no new sword. All it contained were the old swords he had gathered.
While those swords were strong, they were nowhere near the caliber of a Legendary Rank Weapon.
