There were only eight more territories left for Eren to explore, but this was also the hardest thing for him to achieve so far.
In the last two days, the security of the King Clan was increased to the maximum, especially in the inner regions, especially since the ship was last seen moving towards the inner territories before disappearing.
It was also what allowed Eren to have a sowhat easier ti while exploring the outer territories. In every territory, he spent around three hours, while trying to avoid all dangerous places that gave him a dangerous feeling.
Throughout the ti, there were only a few places that he was scared to explore, and the most prominent amongst them was a mountain that was covered in snow on one side and lava on the other side.
Eren spent three hours at the foot of the mountain before entering the next territory
He had fooled the King Clan into thinking that the intruder was entering the Inner Territory. Although it gave him so operational freedom during his outer region exploration, but it had also beco the biggest problem for him now that he truly had to explore the inner region.
This ti, he couldn’t hide the ship anymore. If he wanted to reach from the farthest corner of the outer region to the inner region, he had to travel as fast as inhumanly possible.
He couldn’t hide the ship anymore. Once again, the ghost ship appeared at the farthest corner of the King Clan, and travelled deeper, leaving an afterimage in its wake.
Eren still had the girl that he had initially controlled. He made the girl control the ship, and bring it straight, to the depths, not caring about any obstruction along the way.
The appearance of the Ghost Ship soon reached the ears of the King Clan higher ups, who rose in the air, as if to welco the ship at the border of their inner territories.
"It’s not stopping?" An Elder raised a brow, as the ship refused to stop. Even if they had summoned various treasures to create an obstruction, the ship didn’t seem to have any intention to stop.
An Elder even summoned an entire golden mountain, thinking that the ship was going to be stopped before it clashed with the mountain. Whoever was driving the ship wasn’t going to be foolish enough to crash to his death.
Unfortunately, they soon realized that they were wrong. Not only did the ship not slow down, but instead it accelerated.
"This..." The ship was a treasure of the King Clan. Even though it hadn’t been used in a long ti, it was still one of the most precious things that the clan went through a lot of effort to create in the past.
None of the clan mbers wanted the ship to be destroyed, even though there were rumours that the treasured ship had developed an evil treasure spirit that controlled it.
"If it doesn’t stop, it’ll be a big loss." The Elder who controlled the mountain started hesitating. It didn’t matter if the ship was destroyed, or the mountain spirit. In either case, it was a loss for the King Clan.
He was covered in sweat, as he saw the ship activate the defensive formation right as it was about to crash on the mountain.
Bang~
The crash was strong enough to make the entire realm tremble, as two defining treasures of the king clan collided.
The impact was strong to the point that even a few elders were sent flying back, barely regaining their control in the air.
To their dismay, it was the mountain that was shattered. anwhile, the ship only had a few cracks as it zood past the rubble flying through the ship. A few elders barely avoided getting hit by the ship.
"That’s enough." A booming voice rose from the sky. The clouds split apart, and a giant golden hand ca down, as if coming straight from heaven.
The giant hand was even larger than the ship. Just a finger of that hand was larger than a mountain. The golden hand grabbed the ship that was rushing through the void, and pulled it back.
Within that palm, a golden fire lit up, that started burning everything within the ship. Only the materials with which the ship was made from, didn’t burn.
Everything else besides the ship burned to ashes. It didn’t matter if it was a living being, or a soul. As long as they were on the ship, even their painful cries were burned to nothingness.
The hand burned everything that could have controlled the ship, not caring in the slightest about the identity of the person. All it wanted was to stop the ship to prevent any further destruction.
The girl who was controlling the ship, only saw a golden fla all around her. The flas burned Eren’s control over her, and she scread for help, and to tell the others that she was innocent.
Unfortunately, her voice had barely left her throat before her vocal cords were also burned, along with her flesh.
She had just regained her mind, and she was already dying. She couldn’t even do anything, except curse the man who had caused this to happen.
She couldn’t even rest easy in death. Instead, she felt even more wronged since the person who was responsible for this wasn’t even on the ship.
"What in the monstrosity is that?" Eren mumbled, looking at the sky in disbelief from far away.
As soon as the ship collided with the mountain, he took the advantage of the commotion to jump down from the ship, stepping foot in the inner territory at the right ti.
He had expected the King Clan elders to be chasing after the ship which took them on a wild ride. He didn’t expect the ship to be caught so soon, especially with sothing like this.
He had only heard about the King Clan’s strength, but this was the first ti he was seeing it first hand. If he was caught by them, then he could only imagine his fate.
Seeing their strength, only one word ca to his mind.
"Gods."
