FVN Chapter 553 Hellhound City
Chapter 553 Hellhound City
Yevni's glare had been fixed on Eren. If looks could kill, Eren would have been a corpse already. But despite her frustration, she was powerless, trapped in a situation beyond her control.
"How do I get to the Capital?" Eren finally asked, cutting through the tension.
"It's impossible for you to enter the Capital," Yevni spat out, each word laced with venom.
"Is there some kind of barrier keeping outsiders away?" Eren questioned, his tone curious.
"That's not why I said it's impossible," Yevni retorted, her voice dripping with disdain. Even though she had to work with him, it didn't mean she was happy to do that.
"Then why?" Eren pressed, not minding her sharp responses.
"Because we're flying in the wrong direction, you idiot!" Yevni exploded, her patience finally snapping. "We've been getting further and further away from the Capital this whole time!"
"If you want to go back, we'll have to fly through Nightwing Clan territory. And guess who's waiting for you there?" She paused, letting the implication hang heavy in the air. "That perverted Primordial."
Eren rubbed his forehead, a sigh escaping his lips. "Of course. Just my luck."
He could only blame his luck that the random direction he selected was the complete opposite to his destination.
It wasn't as if he could've waited for her to wake up when he was in the enemy territory either. He had to make a decision and he made a wrong one.
He glanced at Yevni, her anger still palpable. "Look, I get that you're frustrated—"
"Frustrated?!" Yevni asked in disbelief. "Frustrated?! I'm trapped with the Outsider who kidnapped me, flying on the back of a glorified chicken, further and further away from my home. Why would he be frustrated?!"
"Okay, maybe 'frustrated' is an understatement." Eren scratched the back of his head. "Is there a way to reach the Capital without going through your territory?"
"Urgh! Fine! There is another way to pass through the Nightwing Clan Territory!" After a long time, she gave up and confessed.
It became clear that Eren wasn't going to return. The only option left with her was to help him pass through her Territory undetected.
Finally Eren reacted to her words. He had a feeling that she was hiding something, but he couldn't be certain. Now that she had confessed it herself, it was much easier.
"The City of Hellhounds," the girl explained without Eren having to ask. "You have to go through the City of Hellhounds."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought I might actually have to face a Primordial." Eren sighed in relief. As long as he didn't have to face a Primordial yet, he was confident about his skills.
"You don't have to be so happy. The city of Hellhounds isn't some heavenly place where we can simply enter and leave."
"What do you mean?" Eren asked, wondering why the daughter of the Nightwing Clan appeared so worried about a neighbouring Territory.
Was it simply because she was worried about getting recognized? It didn't seem to be that exact case.
"You will find out when we get there." The girl answered, sighing. "You better hope that you have good luck when we enter the city of Hellhounds. If not, you might come across something much worse than the Seventh Primordial."
At this point, she couldn't care less. Eren wasn't listening to her in any case. It was better for her to die with him as a hostage than to keep running around all over the place.
Still, if possible, she didn't want to die with him.
Yevni guided Eren towards the Hellhound Territory which was on the East of the Nightwing Clan Territory.
They went all around the Nightwing Clan Territory, avoiding all the dangerous places where the Stars might be searching for them.
It was only after reaching near the Hellhound Territory, she told Eren to send the Phoenix back and land on the ground with her if he didn't want to be detected.
The two of them jumped off the Phoenix, with Eren sending the Phoenix back to his inventory.
