531 Chapter 531: Like a toy
Every Necromancer in the Northern Continent had grown stronger with the opening of hell. Even the mana within the Continent had grown denser, helping other elemental mages perform stronger magic.
Even if the other Overlords were to enter the Northern Continent, it was unlikely if they could compare to the Northern Tower Master during this phenomenon.
Fortunately, the Tower Master was not here. Even if the Council of Shadow was strong, they had come across a solid wall that was no weaker than another Overlord.
In many aspects, Eren was even greater than them. With the Dragon of Beginning bloodline, his life essence was almost infinite, recovering faster than ever.
Even if the artifact of the chain was trying to destroy his Life Essence, it was recovering faster than ever, not affecting him much.
He grabbed the chain with his hand. An electric current coursed through his body as soon as he held the chain, with the chain trying to resist him.
Eren didn't resist the pain. He only used the Dragon Tongue to lower his senses of pain. As long as it wasn't a life threatening situation, he didn't want to be affected by the pain of this Calibre. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After holding the chain tightly, he jerked it forward, pulling abruptly.
The Necromancer was holding the chain. With the chain being pulled, he didn't have time to react. He was also pulled with the chain, flying in the direction of Eren.
Eren clenched his fist, throwing a punch straight for the Necromancer's skull.
The Necromancer was horrified. Even if the punch hadn't reached him, he could feel that it carried a frightening strength.
In the past, he had fought certain mythical beasts that focused on strength. However, the strength behind this simple punch felt no weaker. He was sure that he was going to die if he was hit.
Taking a split second decision, he released the chain and teleported away before Eren's fist could connect with his face.
With the chain being released, the control of the Necromancer over it was also gone. The grip of the chain around Eren's neck weakened. The chain loosened up and freed his neck.
"Should I thank you for the gift?" Eren held the chain, gaining control over it.
The Shadow Council member clenched his teeth. First the poison and now this strange strength. Eren was an annoying person in his eyes. But more than that, he was incomprehensible.
The Shadow Council member had tried to overwhelm Eren with fear. However, it seemed completely ineffective.
"You are strong. You are at least as strong as me. But can the same be said about your friends? After the others take care of your friends and join me, I wonder if you can keep the same confident look in your eyes."
"By others, do you mean them?" Eren innocently asked, pointing in the distance.
The Necromancer also looked in the direction that Eren was pointing, his expressions turning solemn.
In the distance, he saw a Shadow Council member calling from the sky. There was a small wound on his chest, as if his heart was destroyed by something.
It wasn't just one shadow council member. More had started falling from the sky, with the same wounds that looked like they were made from small projectiles
"H-how did you do it?" The Necromancer was in disbelief.
Even if the Right Guardian was here personally, he couldn't destroy the entire Shadow Council this fast. It was as if they didn't even have the opportunity to resist.
Just who was sitting atop the Phoenix? Was it another Overlord? No, if that was the case, he could have sensed the overwhelming sense of difference in strength.
The Council Members were not foolish. If it was another Overlord, they could have sensed. They would have been more cautious.
He was sure that the people atop the phoenix were weaker than Eren. So how did they kill them so fast when Eren himself hadn't managed to kill him? Unless Eren was simply toying with him.
Suddenly, he came out of his daze, feeling something sharp wrapping around his neck. It was the chain that had previously belonged to him.
He was again pulled in the direction of Eren. Once again, he tried to teleport. However, this time he failed as Eren whispered something under his breath.
The Necromancer's pupils trembled. The space around him was sealed. He couldn't teleport either. Being pulled by the chain, he came straight for Eren.
A fist connected with his face, and everything turned black.
....
After the poisonous mist around the palace dissipated, the Phoenix landed on the ground, atop the lifeless land.
From the phoenix, three girls jumped down. However, they weren't the only ones there.
A figure that looked like a human also jumped down. It was made purely from blood and had no face or any defining characteristic. The only difference about him was that it shared Eren's aura.
It was connected to Eren, a being created with his own blood. The blood figure was holding a gun in his hand that used mana to attack.
With Eren's mana already becoming stronger with his leveling, further affected by the dense mana of this continent, the attacks had also grown stronger.
Zia and the others were repeatedly glancing at the weapon in the blood figure's hand. They had never seen an artefact like this in the past. It was especially the case since the attacks of this weapon were stronger than anything they had seen before.
They weren't even sure if they could protect against these attacks if they weren't prepared in advance. Just where did Eren find this artefact?
Just as surprising was the bloody figure itself. They had seen these blood demons in the past when Eren summoned them to keep the Emperor's younger brother busy while putting up the act.
Still, they didn't understand how Eren was able to create these blood demons. The more they came to learn about him, the more incomprehensible he appeared.
"Is he dead?" Zia asked Eren, looking at the person that Eren was carrying in his arm like a sack of rice.
