Chapter 209: Chapter 209: The Forbidden Fruit



The mana bullet hadn't merely passed through the Frost Demon's chest, but it had also penetrated the Qi-reinforced frost walls as well.

The bullet continued its relentless path, carving through one wall after another before finally vanishing as the mana finally dispersed at the range of a few hundred meters.

Even Eren was taken aback by the strength of the mana bullet. Why did it feel less like a gun and more like a frightening artifact?

He was fortunate that the palace was much larger, otherwise he was sure that the bullet might have left a hole in the outer wall of the palace as well.

Inside the Palace, the number of guards were negligible, but outside, there were many more.

If there was a hole in the outer wall which allowed someone to peek straight into this place, it could definitely alert the guards and create unnecessary noise.

Blood stained the clothes of Li Yunfeng who lowered his head in disbelief. He looked at the home in his chest which was bleeding profusely. A trail of blood trickled down the corner of his lips.

He raised his head, having a lot of questions. Unfortunately, no words came out of his lips. His vision started getting blurry as he looked at the masked figure in front of his eyes that was slowly turning dark.

"It's nothing personal. So I hope you don't blame me for this," Eren told the Frost Demon who saw the blurry figure taking off his mask.

He couldn't see the face of the person as his vision was completely lost. However, the blurry silhouette did feel familiar. When Eren spoke without modifying his voice, he didn't have any questions left anymore. He knew the person who killed him.

The corner of his lips crept up, as if he was trying to laugh at his own foolishness. He was planning to kill Eren, never expecting that he was going to be killed.

Still, he was not completely disappointed.

"H...eh..." he laughed mockingly, only to cough out a mouthful of blood, even moving being extremely painful for him.

"You are laughing because you think I will be following after you?" Eren asked, going down on one knee.

It didn't take him much to guess why the Frost Demon was smiling even in his death. It was only because he knew that Eren was going to die soon as well.

The moment he died, it was only a matter of time before the tracks were going to lead to Eren.

He was the only one in the sect who had any conflict with him after all. He was also the only one who was strong enough to do something like this.

Feng Yu was going to kill Eren. Even if Eren tried to justify himself by saying that he was a spy, but with him dead, how was Eren going to prove that?

For him, Eren was as good as dead. By killing him, Eren had signed his own death warrant.

Even if Feng Yu didn't kill him and he somehow survived, he was going to become the target of Necromancer Tower for taking out their spy and spoiling their plans.

"Heh..." Even as he was covered in blood, Li Yunfeng kept laughing, blood gushing out of his mouth.

"I am glad that you are leaving happily."  Eren placed his hand on the Frost Demon's head, not caring about his happiness.

"Though I am curious. You don't have a Bloodline, but will Devourer's ability give me something if I..." he thought as he looked at his right hand that slowly started transforming into a human sized dragon's claw.

Frost Demon felt his life slipping away slowly even as he laughed.

"Urgh!" His laughter disappeared as his body suddenly trembled. Eren stabbed his claw on the right side of Li Yunfeng's chest that he intentionally hadn't attacked with his bullet.

His claws grabbed a hold of the Frost Demon's heart that was already struggling to keep him alive.

More blood gushed out as Eren pulled out his claw, while still firmly holding onto Li Yunfeng's heart.

"Hmm? Why did you stop laughing suddenly?"

Eren tossed Li Yunfeng's heart from one hand to the other as if it was a ball.

Li Yunfeng's laughter had disappeared and his teeth were clenched. He didn't want to scream and give Eren the satisfaction of watching him struggle.

"You... will... d...di..." he said with great struggle, but his body lost the last of its strength before he could even complete his sentence.

Eren placed his hand on Li Yunfeng's face, closing his blank eyes.

The person was gone. All that was left was the body with a missing heart that slowly slipped off the throne, falling on the ground at Eren's feet.

"If you open a portal here, will Feng Yu sense it when she comes to investigate the disappearance?" Eren asked, looking at the lifeless body at his feet.

He looked a little disgusted at the heart in his hand. He had only taken the hearts of monsters before this. It was the first time he was trying his abilities on a human heart.

Although he was disgusted, there was also something inside him that was urging him to take a bite, as if this was the most delicious fruit in his hand.

"If I open it here, some traces might be left. If she comes to this exact room in the future, she might sense that and link the disappearance to the spirits," Yelen answered, realizing what Eren was thinking about.

He was most probably planning to dump the body in the Spirit Realm to be destroyed there by the Spirits. That way, he could erase all the evidence without much effort.

"Fine. Since I'm going to the Western Region anyway, I'll find a way to toss it somewhere." Eren kept the body in his inventory, which couldn't be sensed even by Feng Yu.

He used the Dragon Tongue Magic to clean the floor before turning to leave.

While walking away, he finally took a bite of the forbidden fruit.
