Eren remained unaware about the catastrophe that his clone was facing. He was entirely focused on the task at hand, which was most important for him at this point.
He landed in front of the Holy Church and stopped hiding his presence. The commoners that were near the Holy Church to get a blessing, were stunned as they saw a man appear out of thin air.
The man was strangely dressed. His clothes were completely black, sothing that the people of the Holy City didn't prefer as the color of absolute darkness symbolised the darkness of the Northern Continent.
"Who are you to get ahead of us?! You can't cut the line! We are all here for blessings as well!" A believer exclaid as he approached Eren.
He didn't even wait for Eren to respond as he attacked, trying to teach this person a lesson. How dare this person wear the color of darkness and not follow the etiquette of the Holy Church?
Was he trying to antagonize the Church? Didn't that an that he could get more recognition from the Holy Church if he taught this person a lesson? Or so he thought.
As soon as his fist touched the back of Eren's head, he felt a terrifying pain as if he had hit a boulder. He felt his bones crack, but that was far from the end.
His arm kept twisting as a dark aura spread throughout. Soon, the dark poison spread throughout his body, making him groan in a terrifying pain while his body lted in front of everyone's eyes.
Eren removed the hood from his head, revealing his long dark hair that ca down to his waist.
As he had changed his disguise, his entire appearance had changed once more. This ti, he carried the appearance of one of the Hall Masters of the Necromancer Tower whose Physique was sowhat similar to his physique.
He had sharp elf-like ears, which made him appear distinct from the humans, making it clear that he wasn't a mber of the Holy Continent.
He looked back at the commoners in the back, revealing his face towards them. His eyes were darker than the darkness, and his skin was extrely pale as if he lacked even the slightest of blood.
"Is this the land of the false gods that claim to be comparable to the Necromancer Tower?" Eren asked, looking at the believers of the Holy Church.
"Y-you are... Necromancer!" The believers grew pale in fear.
They had heard rumours that people from the Necromancer Tower had infiltrated the Holy City, but they never believed it. However, now that they were watching it with their own eyes, they had no choice but to believe it.
"How... How can a devil pass through the barrier of the goddess? It's impossible"
"It has to be a dream! That's right."
"Dream?" Eren asked, appearing in front of the middle aged man who had spoken. "Is that joke of a barrier really that impressive for you?"
"Did you really think we didn't co here before because the barrier was strong? It was simply because we didn't care even the slightest bit about you."
"We wanted to control you insects through the shadows! After all, many of our people had already infiltrated your Royal Palace and the Holy Church. Unfortunately, the Holy Emperor was more brilliant than I thought."
"That bastard found our people and killed them openly. I had to co to this pathetic land myself. The insects that don't behave, don't deserve to live. Today, I will destroy the Holy Church and the Palace."
Eren was playing the role of a villain as good as he could, using everything he had learned reading novels throughout the year. He even made it dramatic with the crazed look in his eyes as he spoke.
He conveniently made Church appear like a fool and the Holy Emperor like a genius who had seen through the sches of the Necromancer Tower which even the church couldn't see through.
"Is it true? The emperor really wasn't behaving like that because he was possessed by the devil? Instead, it was because he was really trying to protect us?"
Eren knew that the fanatics of the Church weren't going to believe his words easily. Hence, he was only targeting the people who were mildly influenced by the church.
As for convincing the fanatics, it was even easier. All he had to do was make them watch the destruction of their holy place.
"You bastard, how dare you talk bad about the Church!" A sharp voice ca, with the doors of the Holy Church opening.
"Right on ti." Eren revealed a smile, watching the Bishops coming out of the Church.
He was already convinced that the Church had no Cardinals left. Even if there was one or two Cardinal left, he could easily deal with them.
The best part of the entire equation for him was that the Holy Church couldn't even inform the Holy Priestess or the Cardinals about things that were happening here.
As long as they were inside the dungeon, the ssage couldn't be delivered. Moreover the Priestess wasn't going to co out of the dungeon anyti soon.
He had made sure that the Holy Priestess was going to take her sweet ti inside the Dungeon, trying to find him. After all, he had intentionally left multiple traces on each of the floors.
By the ti they returned, his plan was going to be complete. The people of the Holy City were going to be disillusioned by the Holy Church, and a new hero was going to appear.
"Let's begin the solo levelling." Eren called forth a sword that he had stolen from the clan that he had completely annihilated in the Northern Continent.
His figure disappeared. In the next second, he appeared at the entrance of the Holy Church.
Behind him were the Bishops who had co out of the Holy Church to fight him. They were stunned by his speed.
They looked back, only to notice sothing strange. Their heads had turned back but their bodies were still facing the other direction. Their faces were filled with absolute horror as they realized what had happened.
Eren snapped his finger. A gentle wind flew, which made the heads of the Bishops roll off their bodies.
Their bodies followed suit but Eren wasn't there to see them fall. He entered the Holy Church, disappearing inside the holiest of lands of the Western Continent.
