As Eren approached Sara and Alephee, he couldn't help but think to himself, "She reminds of a well-fed bunny, trying to digest what it ate in its sleep." Despite his seemingly unimpressed expression, Eren found himself drawn to Sara's charm even more now that she was a ranker.
Alephee sighed with relief as Sara's condition stabilized. She held onto the sleeping beauty's shoulder to prevent falling forward.
Eren eventually stopped in front of the two won. His face was a mix of complexity and dissatisfaction. In a low-key voice, he comnted about Sara which reflected his inner conflict.
"Well… it's better that she stopped progressing. Otherwise, it would have been who got traumatized.
Like... What the hell was I doing with my life all this ti?"
The butcher sighed as he rembered the struggles he had to endure to achieve what Sara had achieved so quickly. There was a part of him that wanted to flip a table and slap Sara's mushy buns once for progressing so much in a single day. This was his way of expressing envy.
Alphee had yet to tell Eren that Sara's rapid progression was not over. In a way, Sara was running a marathon, and this was just a resting point to recharge herself. The homunculus planned to resu Sara's rapid progress after finding a suitable ranking technique for her. The current demonic technique did its job. And with Sara on the brink of breaking into the Ace rank, it was about to beco useless.
Alephee had to say that Sara was overqualified to beco a ranker. She believed that any other ordinary human girl would have faced many complications by going through such rapid ranking progress.
Alephee didn't reply to Eren's envious comnts. She got up and snapped her fingers again, picking the sleeping Sara up with an intangible force.
"We should let her sleep for a while. I'll be back."
Alephee comnted before walking towards the villa. The sleeping Sara floated in the air and followed Alephee as if a balloon was pulled by a string. The butcher thought Alephee was also tired. The homunculus was about to take a much-needed rest as well.
'I need soone to sign up for so instant power-up program. I'm ready to go blind for as long as it takes.'
Eren scrunched his nose and thought to himself as he looked at the two ladies' departing figures. He then narrowed his eyes at them before calling out soone in his mind.
'Sylphie. Co here.'
A gorgeous elf appeared behind Eren out of thin air after so ti. She had moss-green hair and sparkling blue eyes. She had average height and prominent feminine curves.
The elf assassin wore a white dress with a blue floral pattern and exposed shoulders. She didn't look like an assassin at all. Which gave her even more edge as an assassin.
Sylphie was the sa elf assassin Eren used to honeytrap Sidro. Sylphie had played her part well by luring Sidro into the Badlands, which enabled Eren to kill the guy easily.
The butcher acquired Sidro's red lightning as well as Ertaur who was Sidro's contracted beast initially. One could say that the hefty amount he paid to Sylphie for her job was worth it.
What was also interesting was the fact that Sylphie had used so kind of Polyjuice potion to assu Altashia's features. All so that she could set a honey trap for Sidro. The butcher intervened when Sidro was about to get cozy with undercover Sylphie, killing him when he was desperate to find company.
It seed a few of Layos' infiltrating elves had access to Polyjuice potions from the beginning. After the news of Jai's betrayal by Arthur was known to the entire kingdom of Edinburgh, the butcher learned that Sylphie was one of Layos' sleeper cells. She worked in Edinburgh as an assassin-for-hire to pass the ti.
As soon as Edinburgh's authorities learned about the mattress related to Polyjuice potions, Sylphie's runic bindings were loosened. As such she told the butcher everything when asked.
All of that was irrelevant at this point for Eren anyway. Sylphie was already branded by him and as a result loyal to him. She managed his periter detail around the villa these days.
"My Lord, you asked for ?"
Sylphie looked at Eren expectantly. The latter turned around and embraced her in his arms. He planted his lips on hers and smooched her passionately for a few monts before breaking away from her.
"Sylphie dear, you still have so contacts in the kingdom of Layos, right?"
Sylphie was dazed for a few monts. But she quickly got a hold of herself before replying to Eren.
"Yes, my Lord. Though, it wouldn't be easy to contact my allies or ask them for favors now that the war between the two kingdoms has begun. My affiliation with Layos is non-existent at this point."
Eren nodded in understanding before pulling a spatial pendant from thin air. It was pretty and studded with small but precious gems.
This pendant looked like jewelry but it was more than that. It had loads of high-quality Extols stored inside its isolated space.
The butcher drew Sylphie closer to him and made her wear the pendant. The elf assassin was happy to receive such a pretty accessory from Eren. She knew the artifact had been given to her for another use. But that didn't stop her from thinking this was a pleasant gesture of affection from Eren.
Eren caressed Sylphie's face and felt her warmth up close. He placed his hands on her buttcheeks and squished them before speaking up.
"Use the Extols in this pendant however you see fit, Sylphie dear. Contact when you run out of money and I'll send you more through this pendant's spatial storage."
Sylphie rubbed her face on Eren's chest as she felt his hands exploring her body. She inhaled his scent and tried to morize it so she could recall it anyti.
Eren's embrace magically affected Sylphie. However, the assassin in her didn't let her libido get in the way of listening to Eren's commands clearly.
"Sylphie, I want to sanction a hit on Reva inside the kingdom of Layos…."
