It was easier to help a stranger than it was to help an enemy. And he did that for her. Although he took the inheritance as a price, that didn't change the fact that he saved her life.
He could have taken the inheritance and then killed her if he wanted to. He could have done worse things as well. Instead, he waited there to make sure that she woke up and was safe before leaving.
"I am an Elder of the Great Demon Sect, but does that matter? It doesn't matter which continent you are from. I only kill those that I want to kill," Eren answered.
"Does that an you don't want to kill ?" Sera asked.
"Not yet at least," Eren replied. "And as long as you don't try to hurt , I doubt I would even want to kill you."
Sera smiled in response. She didn't ask any more questions. She already had the answers she needed. She could see that he was different from the other Elders. He wasn't biased. For him, everyone was the sa.
For him, there wasn't an Eastern or Western Continent. There were only enemies, friends and neutrals.
The silence lasted for quite so ti, only to be broken when Eren finally spoke.
"You still haven't answered . What are you trying to steal from the sect?"
"I'll only tell you if you promise not to steal it from when I find it," Sera responded cleverly.
Eren knew he couldn't steal it even if he wanted to. He couldn't defeat Sera without using the Pendant of Poison, and if he did use it, she would die.
Killing Sera was different from killing Aster. Aster was a threat to his life, whereas Sera was not. In fact, Sera was more valuable to his future plans.
He hadn't forgotten that he needed to steal sothing from Mist. Sera was the key for his plans.
There was also another reason he couldn't do that. It was because he wasn't ready for the consequences yet.
Mist loved her daughter the most. It wasn't wrong to say that Sera was the reverse scale of Mist.
Mist had already marked her daughter. If Sera were to die, her killer would be marked. It was a mark that couldn't be erased. If he killed this girl, he was going to be chased to the depths of hell by Mist.
Until he achieved his goals, he didn't want to poke the Overlords more than he already did.
No treasure was worth putting his future plans at risk.
"I promise. If you find it, I will not steal it from you," Eren said after a brief pause.
"It's a book called the Art of Elental Manipulation. I ca to find out that the book is with the Asura Sect. Hence I ca here to take it," Sera explained, putting her trust in Eren's promise.
"The Art of Elental Manipulation?" Eren's lips twitched as he heard the na.
It was the sa book that he had stolen from the Asura Sect Master after killing her. Currently, that book wasn't in the Asura Sect at all. Instead, it was in the Great Demon Sect in the hands of his own disciple.
He had a lot of questions when he heard the na. In the novel, that book was still with the Asura Sect until Ye Liang killed the Sect's heir and took it. That ant, the book wasn't taken by Sera in the novel.
'Is it because I changed the future? That might be possible. I have done quite a lot of things ever since I ca to this world. I'm even having the Asura Sect destroyed right now.'
Now that he thought about it, he noticed that the future was really moving towards an unknown direction.
In the real novel, today was the day when he died. But here he was, perfectly fine.
He had truly changed his past, but at the sa ti, he also changed the future.
Things that hadn't happened in the original novel were happening all around him. Instead of being a side character, he had beco sothing akin to the main character. Wherever he went, lives were changed.
He shook his head.
'What am I even thinking? I'm really not the main character. It's just thanks to my knowledge that such things are happening. My advantage of knowing the future is slowly coming to an end. Or maybe, it already did.'
"We are here!" Sera stopped before the treasury where the most important skills and treasures of the Asura Sect were kept.
Only the Sect Master was allowed to enter this place, but now there were two more people who were planning to.
"I will just take the book of Elental Arts. You can take everything else," she told Eren while preparing to break the door.
She clenched her fist and started gathering montum.
"Do you have to break everything?" Eren placed his hand on the girl's shoulder and pushed her aside, breaking all her montum.
He took a key out of his storage ring and placed it inside the formation lock.
As soon as the key touched the formation, the formation lock opened. Slowly, the door started opening.
"I picked up the key near the Great Elder's corpse. It's just as I expected, this was for the treasury."
Eren offered an explanation which was filled with lies.
He had received the key when he killed the Sect Master. He just didn't tell her the truth because he didn't want her to think that he had entered this treasury before.
Sera didn't think much about it. It didn't matter how they opened the door. What mattered was that the door was opened.
She rushed inside the treasury, imdiately going towards the shelves where the skill books were kept.
anwhile, Eren walked towards the treasures. In any case, everything in this place was his.
Sera only wanted the book of Elental Manipulation. She promised him that everything else belonged to him. As the book wasn't here, he already beca the owner of everything in this place.
'It's truly fun to bet when you know the answer.'
