Chapter 559 No backing away
When he first appeared in this city, Eren was attacked by a Hellhound who was in his human form. That man's attack had managed to break past his physical defences with ease.
The three Hellhounds in front of him felt even stronger and much more dangerous. If the ordinary Hellhounds were this strong, then how strong would that Hellhound be if he had transformed before attacking?
The thought vanished as Eren spotted the woman cornered at the end of the alley. Her lips were stained crimson with blood that clearly wasn't her own.
It was a familiar face, covered in scars of her own making. The woman was the heir of the Nightwing Clan that had brought him here.
Around the girl, there were three bodies. Two of the bodies were headless, as if their heads had been ripped apart. The third body was more or less intact, but it looked extremely pale, as if the entire blood of the person had been sucked dry.
Around his neck, there were two small holes, matching the fangs of the girl.
Eren didn't even know how to react. Yevni was telling him to not offend anyone in this city and be careful until they left the city. Wasn't this the advice she should've taken for herself?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Even if she had betrayed him, it would've still taken time for the entire city to be on lockdown. But this was much worse. For some reason, she wondered if it would've been better if she had betrayed him.
"Hmm?" While Eren was wondering if he could deal with the three Hellhounds before other Hellhounds arrived, he noticed something.
One of the sleeves of Yevni was torn. He also saw the torn part in the hands of one of them men who had his head ripped off. Was she the one attacked first? Even then, she was a little too impatient.
"Fine. I will help her. Though it's truly going to become a mess." Although he could ignore the sight entirely, focusing on his escape, he selected otherwise.
If she revealed her identity, she might survive. But she couldn't afford to do that either. She was supposed to be a hostage. Which hostage ran around freely?
'You don't have to die with me. Just leave this place and don't get caught. And even if you're caught, don't drag my clan down with you.' she responded to Eren's message with a mental transmission of her own.
Although the method was different from the one used by him, it worked just the same.
She told Eren to leave. Even if he was going to help, they were going to die. And if they died together, the rumor about her working with the outsiders might be proven, hurting her clan.
She was the only one who had to die here.
"I don't think I asked your permission, did I?" Eren reacted, raising his right hand.
He used the Dragon Tongue, casting a sound isolation barrier around this place. He also cast an illusion magic, hiding the events that were taking place inside the alley.
Once he was finished, he transformed into his Absolute Dragon Form. Instead of summoning the Shadow of the Sword, he summoned the Holy Sword that was much more useful in this world.
This was the first time he was fighting the Hellhounds in this world. He didn't want to make a mistake and end up dying because he underestimated the enemy.
The Hellhounds also noticed the disturbance in the atmosphere, along with the presence of another person.
Initially, they didn't find that presence threatening. It was only after Eren transformed into his true dragon form, they sensed danger.
One of them turned around, abruptly pouncing on Eren, who walked past the Hellhound. He looked like he was moving at his normal speed, but the Hellhound couldn't even react to Eren, his own speed working against him.
