Eren walked down the mountain, his hands were stained in blood that was still fresh. Next to him was Yelen who was looking at him strangely.
Felona was sent back to the world of Spirits as she had already helped Eren enough. As for Fey's mother, she was nowhere to be seen anymore.
"Did you think this through?" Yelen asked Eren.
Eren didn't answer. He simply nodded, his gaze being firm.
He had already changed his clothes to the clothes of the Great Demon Sect Elder but those clothes were also stained in blood that felt like his own blood.
His entire body was filled with wounds, so of those wounds being fresh as he didn't even try to heal them. There was even a scar on the right side of his face.
With a healing pill, it could easily be healed but he didn't do that either. He went through with the constant pain where it felt like thousands of ants were biting his face.
It was the first ti he had been hurt like this in the face, which made this experience completely new.
Half an hour passed and Eren kept staggering down the mountain as if he was running from sothing but didn't have the strength to properly run. Occasionally, he hit a few trees, as if he was actually blind.
A few minutes passed since he hit the last tree 'helplessly', when he heard a small noise coming from before him.
He didn't look down as he already knew who it was. The woman he had been carrying in his arms had started waking up.
Feng Yu opened his eyes, feeling a little dizziness. The mont she looked ahead, she noticed that she was being carried by a person in his arms.
She could clearly see the scars on his face and the stench of blood that was coming from him as if he had been through a really dangerous battle where he barely survived.
She also noticed that her arms were wrapped around his neck while she was being carried like a princess. As she was cuffed, she couldn't take her hands off from around his neck.
She could only stay in his arms, feeling his scent that was mixed with the scent of his blood.
She looked at her surroundings, noticing the mountain range. She could also feel that a few of her senses were missing.
She tried opening her mouth but she wasn't able to properly speak. Her sense of speech was gone along with her sense of taste. Fortunately, she still had the sense of sight.
She realized where she was. It was the mountain of loss. It was a place where she had entered before. It was at the ti she thought that her father's killer was hiding inside the Mountain of Loss.
She had searched for him throughout the week, even at the cost of losing her senses every day.
At the end, she couldn't find that person and was preparing to leave when she was attacked by the people from the Mythical Hero Academy who also appeared to be looking here for soone.
She still had a hazy mory of that battle and rembered seeing Mist there as well. She still didn't rember how she returned ho that day.
Since she had been there for almost a week, she was weaker than Mist. She could vaguely rember that she was about to lose. However, everything after that was blank.
For so reason, she found a sense of familiarity in Eren's embrace as he was taking her down the mountain. She didn't understand this feeling, but it was as if she had been in the sa position once before.
She wondered if it was just her overthinking because she was so weak currently.
She wanted to tell Eren to let her down. He was already injured, and it wasn't good for him to carry soone else. Unfortunately, even as she opened her lips, no words ca out.
She thought that he would have already known that she woke up, but when she saw his eyes, she realized that it was impossible. His eyes were completely blank.
It didn't take long for her to realize which sense he had lost. He had lost his sense of sight which ant he had been in the Mountain of Loss for more than a day at the least, and maybe even more.
She wondered which other senses he had lost. But why was she being carried by him? Why was he hurt? She was confused.
As she thought about it, so mories started returning. She rembered that she was sitting in her palace, thinking about the Western Continent and what trick the Holy Priestess could have been planning.
At that ti, soone appeared in her palace. She didn't know which treasure that person used to enter her palace without being detected by her guards.
It didn't matter how that person entered. Intrusion in her palace was forbidden, and anyone who tried it was only granted death.
As she was about to kill him, the person told her that he was here to help her. He told her that he knew the whereabouts of the person who killed her father.
He told her that the person was also his enemy so he wanted to help her kill him. Feng Yu was montarily hesitant in killing the person.
She had been looking for the killer of her father for a long ti, and now an opportunity presented itself. She didn't realize that it was all a trap. Before she realized the reality, everything had already happened.
The next thing she rembered, she was here. She was in Eren's arms. Everything in between was a ss.
Even with his weakened body, Eren carried her as blood trickled down from his wounds.
She thought about letting Eren know that she was already awake but before she could do that, heavy winds started playing.
A woman appeared in the distance, surrounded by gusts of wind.
"Did you think you could take her away?!" the woman, whose face was covered by a black mask, said.
Although Feng Yu couldn't see that woman's face, it was clear that she was from the Northern Continent. It was also the woman she had seen accompanying the man who tricked her.
"You are barely alive. Why are you going so far to protect her? Just return her to us and we might let you live!" the woman arrogantly said.
