Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Forgotten Dagger



He refrained from breaking the magical shackles themselves, aware that doing so would alert the Holy Priestess.

Instead, he focused on the chains attached to the old walls. With a strong force, he pulled out the shackles from the wall. He freed the Sea Dragon Empress, granting her partial freedom.

Exhausted, the Sea Dragon Empress lost her balance as soon as her hands were freed. She was almost about to fall to her knees when Eren grabbed her by the shoulder, supporting her.

"Are you alright?" he asked, guiding her gently to the ground to rest. Her body still carried the weight of the Holy Priestess\'s shackles around her ankles, wrists, and neck, putting a heavy strain.

"Mmm!" The Sea Dragon Empress tried to speak, but the gag prevented her from uttering a word.

"Oh, right," Eren responded, "I need to remove your shackles, but doing so will alert the Holy Priestess. Once they\'re off, you must escape immediately. Do you understand?"

The Sea Dragon Emperor was confused about Eren\'s identity but she still nodded her head.

She sensed the purity of his dragon bloodline, even purer than her own. The essence of the Celestial Dragon could be felt in his use of Dragon Tongue, hinting at his purer lineage.

To her, he seemed like the true heir of the Celestial Dragon that the sea dragons worshiped. His aura emitted a familial warmth, completely unaware that this very man had played a role in her capture.

Even though the Sea Dragon Empress wanted freedom, she also didn\'t want to put the person in front of him at risk. If he was the real descendant of the Celestial Dragon then she had to protect him.

She nodded, agreeing to follow his instructions for now.

"On the count of three..." Eren said as he started using the Dragon Tongue again.

He made sure that the Sea Dragon Empress could see him use the Dragon Tongue but not hear what he was actually saying.

If she could hear him, she would have realized that he wasn\'t using the magic for what he claimed he was.

Instead, he only used the Dragon Tongue to bury the Sea Dragon Empress\' aura with his purer aura, making her unable to sense Yelen creating connection portals.

It was akin to spraying a stronger scent to hide the weaker scent, similar to what he had done when he killed Archbishop Nathaniel.

Just as he expected, the Sea Dragon Empress couldn\'t feel anything strange. Eren was further helped by the fact that she was already restricted by the Holy Priestess\' aura.

Yelen created portals connecting to the Spirit Realm, further connecting that portal to the final destination which was near the Holy City of the Empire.

With the connection portals and the spatial turbulence, the Sea Dragon Empress could not detect a connecting point that they traveled through. And even if she did, it had nothing to do with spirits as was the work of Dragon Tongue in her eyes.

The moment Eren looked at the connecting portals, his blood almost grew cold. Small portals were harmful for him, but he had to travel through connecting portals to keep the act.

He was already conflicted if he should actually do it or not. Unfortunately, he had no other choice but to do it as the Holy Priestess was going to arrive here, not giving him another chance.

He had to leave this place first, and he had to do that in front of the Holy Priestess.

After the portals were connected, Eren stopped looking at it. His back was still drenched in the cold, thinking about the future.

"Now I will break these shackles. So don\'t resist," he told the Sea Dragon Empress while drawing out a treasure dagger that he took in the Southern Empire.

With just the Dragon Tongue, he could not break these shackles. He could use his pendant of poison but it was accompanied by the Sword Emperor\'s Aura which could expose his identity.

He also could not leave the shackles behind. Although they were useful in keeping Sea Dragon Empress under his control, they could also help the Holy Priestess detect her later on.

He had to break them and leave them right here, unless he wanted to be in an even bigger mess later on. He could only use treasures, accompanied by his raw strength.

Putting his strength behind the dagger, he struck the shackles to shatter them and free the Sea Dragon Empress.

Clank~

His treasured dagger hit the shackle.

"Huh?" Eren\'s eyes narrowed as he watched the treasured dagger shatter into small pieces, flying everywhere. Meanwhile, the shackles had not even a single scratch behind them.

\'Not even a scratch?\' Eren was taken aback by the strength of these shackles. The problem wasn\'t in his strength but the durability of the treasured dagger.

Even the high grade dagger could not break these shackles? He wondered if he had no other choice but to use his abilities that might risk exposing his real identity.

He quickly shook his head, rejecting these thoughts. If he exposed his identity, then more than the Holy Priestess, he had to worry about the Sea Dragon Empress stabbing him.

As much as he preferred him because of his pure aura, she hated Great Elder Ren with even more passion.

Eren opened his inventory, looking through his items to see if there was anything else he could use.

\'This incomplete dagger...\'

His gaze soon fell on a dagger that he had taken in the Coastal City. It was also because of this dagger that he had to face Aster, which brought a disaster upon the Celestial City.

This was the Overlord Killing Dagger which was still incomplete. However, even in this incomplete form, it was a legendary rank dagger.
