When he first appeared in this city, Eren was attacked by a Hellhound who was in his human form. That man's attack had managed to break past his physical defences with ease.
The three Hellhounds in front of him felt even stronger and much more dangerous. If the ordinary Hellhounds were this strong, then how strong would that Hellhound be if he had transford before attacking?
The thought vanished as Eren spotted the woman cornered at the end of the alley. Her lips were stained crimson with blood that clearly wasn't her own.
It was a familiar face, covered in scars of her own making. The woman was the heir of the Nightwing Clan that had brought him here.
Around the girl, there were three bodies. Two of the bodies were headless, as if their heads had been ripped apart. The third body was more or less intact, but it looked extrely pale, as if the entire blood of the person had been sucked dry.
Around his neck, there were two small holes, matching the fangs of the girl.
Eren didn't even know how to react. Yevni was telling him to not offend anyone in this city and be careful until they left the city. Wasn't this the advice she should've taken for herself?
Even if she had betrayed him, it would've still taken ti for the entire city to be on lockdown. But this was much worse. For so reason, she wondered if it would've been better if she had betrayed him.
"Hmm?" While Eren was wondering if he could deal with the three Hellhounds before other Hellhounds arrived, he noticed sothing.
One of the sleeves of Yevni was torn. He also saw the torn part in the hands of one of them n who had his head ripped off. Was she the one attacked first? Even then, she was a little too impatient.
"Fine. I will help her. Though it's truly going to beco a ss." Although he could ignore the sight entirely, focusing on his escape, he selected otherwise.
The girl hadn't betrayed him. It looked like she had a luck that was just as bad as his luck. He was teleported in front of that awful Hellhound, almost dying if he was weaker.
anwhile, Yevni was teleported to this place, catching the attention of these n. Before she could even escape after dealing with them, she was caught by the Hellhounds.
At this point, Eren wasn't even sure who had worse luck. As he rembered her situation, her luck appeared just as bad as her. For so reason, he even felt so sympathy.
Just as Eren made up his mind to help the girl, a familiar interface appeared in front of him.
There were four options, but this ti he didn't even need to look at them. He knew his system well enough to understand what kind of options there were going to be.
As he had already made up his mind, he selected the option to help the girl by escaping alone. It also helped that this option was also what ca up with the best reward of the four.
"We need to deal with them before the other Hellhounds realize and gather. Keep them distracted. I'll deal with them," he sent a ntal transmission to Yevni, who revealed quite a surprise in her eyes.
Yevni was extrely surprised that Eren wanted to help her, even after looking at the kind of situation she was in. If she was in his place, could she have made the sa decision? The answer was no.
She would have focused on escaping herself, rather than putting her life on the line for a person that she barely knew, especially since that person wasn't helpful anymore.
On the contrary, Eren was still here. Even after seeing everything, he didn't run away. Instead, he ca to help her. But even if he did that, what could he change?
She hadn't seen him fight before. Although he took her down before, it was because she was more distracted by the safety of her clan.
Even she would have a hard ti against three Hellhounds, let alone the others that were going to arrive here.
If she revealed her identity, she might survive. But she couldn't afford to do that either. She was supposed to be a hostage. Which hostage ran around freely?
'You don't have to die with . Just leave this place and don't get caught. And even if you're caught, don't drag my clan down with you.' she responded to Eren's ssage with a ntal transmission of her own.
Although the thod was different from the one used by him, it worked just the sa.
She told Eren to leave. Even if he was going to help, they were going to die. And if they died together, the rumor about her working with the outsiders might be proven, hurting her clan.
She was the only one who had to die here.
"I don't think I asked your permission, did I?" Eren reacted, raising his right hand.
He used the Dragon Tongue, casting a sound isolation barrier around this place. He also cast an illusion magic, hiding the events that were taking place inside the alley.
Once he was finished, he transford into his Absolute Dragon Form. Instead of summoning the Shadow of the Sword, he summoned the Holy Sword that was much more useful in this world.
This was the first ti he was fighting the Hellhounds in this world. He didn't want to make a mistake and end up dying because he underestimated the enemy.
The Hellhounds also noticed the disturbance in the atmosphere, along with the presence of another person.
Initially, they didn't find that presence threatening. It was only after Eren transford into his true dragon form, they sensed danger.
One of them turned around, abruptly pouncing on Eren, who walked past the Hellhound. He looked like he was moving at his normal speed, but the Hellhound couldn't even react to Eren, his own speed working against him.
