Chapter 549 Disappeared
The Phoenix soared through the sky, its flaming wings cutting through the dense aura of death.
Eren felt more at ease with the Phoenix than he had felt when riding the Infernal Beast. There was no discomfort, only a sense of warmth and comfort radiating from the Phoenix's flames.
As the Phoenix carried him through the air, Eren could feel his fatigue melting away. The flames that engulfed the mythical bird seemed to soothe his weary body and mind.
He had placed Yevni on the side after tying her hands with the chains he had taken from the Cardinals. Your next chapter is on empire
Normally, the chains could drain the life essence of a person, weakening them. But even if that wasn't the effect, it was still a useful and sturdy artifact to tie the Vampire Princess, not wanting to be attacked when she woke up.
Eren didn't even know the direction in which he was going. All he saw was the dense essence of death, which made him feel like he was cutting through clouds when flying.
"At this rate, let alone finding the Tower Master, I can't even locate the Capital. I suppose I will have to wait until the girl wakes up."
He had a destination in his mind, but no way to reach it. He could only wait for the girl to wake up while the Phoenix flew straight, going as far away from the Nightwing Clan territory as possible.
He didn't even know how far their territory spread. For now, he just wanted to stay away from the Primordials before knowing more about them.
....
Back in the Nightwing Clan territory, the Guardian had kept it a secret that the Princess of the clan had been kidnapped.
Even the Nightwing Clan Patriarch didn't know about the disappearance of his daughter. He still thought that his daughter was still in her room, away from all the chaos.
The only person he paid attention to was the Primordial Demon. Fortunately, that person hasn't even left his room.
The Guardian was pacing back and forth, waiting for the right time. He was really in a race against time to bring Yevni back before Rezekiel was finished with his present entertainment.
"Fortunately he won't be finished before a few hours at least. I still have time to make everything right." The Guardian was standing with his back resting against a wall, observing the guest house in which the Primordial Demon was staying.
Only the minutes had passed since Eren left the place, but it felt like an eternity had passed. For him, time seemed to be passing so slowly that every second felt like an hour.
"Only fifty minutes more... And then I will bring her back." He closed his eyes, trying to calm his head that was filled with thousands of thoughts.
Although his plan was perfect, it depended on Eren. As long as Eren kept his promise, everything was going to work out. However, if he killed Yevni before that time, then it was all going to fall apart.
He was trying his hardest to not think about the worst, but those thoughts kept crossing his head.
"Everything will be alright. Even he won't be foolish enough to kill the Nightwing Princess that a Primordial wants."
"Hmm?" Suddenly, his brows were raised. He looked in the direction that was initially taken by Eren and the Primordial Beast.
Until now, he had been able to sense the whereabouts of the Primordial Beast which was tied to him. But suddenly, he wasn't able to sense him at all.
"Did he kill him? No, the soul contract is still existent. But why can't I sense him?"
His thoughts were suddenly clouded. There were only two conditions in which he might not be able to sense his Beast. The first was when it was killed. But if that happened, the contract would've broken right away.
The contract was still existent, which meant his beast was alive.
The only other condition was for his beast to have entered some forbidden land. As far as he remembered, there was no forbidden land in the Nightwing Clan Territory.
"What did he do?" He was starting to panic. If he couldn't sense his Beast, he couldn't locate Eren either.
He couldn't stay calm anymore. He was responsible for staying near the Primordial Demon, but he decided to leave and check the situation himself.
He suddenly disappeared, rushing out of the Nightwing Clan. He flew straight to the last known location of the Infernal Beast.
Inside the Nightwing Clan, the Primordial Demon was taking a sip of wine while looking out the window. He allowed the girl a moment to rest as they were on the verge of passing out from pleasure.
He was about to return to the girls when he noticed the Guardian Star standing in the distance, seemingly lost in some thought.
He didn't think much about it. However, he soon noticed a horrified expression of the Guardian Star which was a rare expression.
The Guardian Star immediately rushed out, appearing to be panicked. Rezekiel sensed his presence growing distant as the man left the Nightwing Clan abruptly.
"Interesting..." A single word came out of his lips as he placed the glass of wine aside.
....
"There are no traces beyond this point. It's as if it has just... Disappeared." The Guardian Star appeared at the last known location of its Infernal Beast.
There were no footsteps beyond this point. Instead, he saw additional marks that there was something other than Eren and Yevni at this place.
The marks didn't belong to a human. It was clearly a beast, but there were no further marks beyond that point.
"It's as if this thing..." The guardian star touched the traces of the Phoenix before raising his head towards the sky.
The Guardian Star opened his lips. However, before he could utter anything else, he heard someone else's voice.
"It flew away."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Another person completed his sentence and that voice sent chills down his spine.
