Chapter 447 - : After I take you down

Eren's body had turned extremely cold but he couldn't feel anything out of the ordinary. He only felt a strange connection with the element of cold.

It was different from the mages that felt a connection with an element after dedicating their lives into studying that element. It was a connection that came from within his body.

He couldn't help but smile, seeing the evolution of his physique. There was still very little known about a physique, but he became more certain that they could also evolve.

When he was attacked by the flames, he already had a plan to protect himself. However, to his surprise, he didn't need to put that plan into action.

Moreover, if it was only the Guide that was sent here, then he could definitely escape alive.

He was worried that the Tower Master was personally going to arrive, which made him want to escape at the earliest. It was an assumption that came with the warning of the author about his potential death.

Fortunately, that didn't seem to be the case. The Tower Master had a lot of faith in the Guide and sent him to take care of the person.

"It seems that I was worrying about unnecessary things."

His heartbeat had started calming down. Instead of being an incident that led to the dreadful future, it became an opportunity for him to gain more experience and weaken the Tower.

Eren was still unable to call forth the sword of the Sword Emperor. He drew out a sword from his inventory that was engraved with the markings of the Holy Empire.

It was the sword personally used by the Holy Emperor himself. However, as the Holy Emperor hadn't fought in the past, no one had seen the sword personally. Even the Ministers of the Emperor hadn't seen the sword.

The only people who knew about the sword and its appearance were the blacksmiths of the Empire that created it, and all those Blacksmiths were put to death after the sword was completed.

The Holy Emperor didn't want the Holy Church to find out about the kind of weapons he was creating for the future in which he was going to face the Holy Church.

To protect the secret, he made sure that no one except him knew about him. Not even his family knew about his real thoughts, always thinking that he was a cowardly man who was subservient to the Holy Priestess.

Even though the sword wasn't comparable to the legendary Sword of Retribution that was used by the Sword Emperor, it was still a legendary sword in its own rights.

The blade of the sword was covered in a very intricate carvings of circuitry that used the Holy Aura to activate. It was a sword that was made to utilize the Holy Aura of the Royals, amplifying it to a larger extent.

Other than the Royal Family members, no one was supposed to be able to use the sword. Even those from the Holy Church couldn't activate this sword.

The only exception was Eren, who had stolen the essence of the Holy Emperor, becoming no different than the real Holy Emperor.

"You didn't have an opportunity to use this sword. In your stead, I will let this sword see the light of day."

As he used the holy essence of the Royal Family, the circuits of the Holy Sword started shining. They appeared like nerves that were transferring the Holy Essence to the core of the sword.

Even the hilt of the sword was unique with a crystal core embedded within it, acting as the perfect conduit between the owner and the sword.

"What a disgusting essence." The Guide observed Eren's sword.

He had some across many people from the Western Continent and he had killed even more people. It was the first time he was seeing such a pure and disgusting essence.

It felt different from the one that was possessed by the Holy Church members, but it was no less disgusting than the essence of the Holy Priestess.

"So you are from the Royal Family. That explains it all," The Guide said, realizing the identity of Eren. "Are you the younger brother? Or are you the elder one, who is known as the pet of the Priestess?"

There were only two people in the Royal Family which could use an essence that was this pure and disgusting. Both of them were the direct bloodline of the last emperor.

The older brother was none other than the Holy Emperor, who had an extremely bad reputation in the Northern Continent. All those who had heard about him, called him the puppet of the Priestess.

He was even known as a cowardly person who never left the Holy City, which appeared to be because he was scared of the Tower forces killing him.

Meanwhile, the younger brother was said to be more talented. He was also more experienced in battles, and much stronger than the Holy Emperor.

It was also said that the younger brother wasn't very fond of the Holy Church, which might explain why he killed Treniel.

If he had to choose one, he was sure that the person in front of him was the younger brother, the outcast of the Royal Family who was abandoned by the Holy Emperor.

He touched his shoulders and took off the flaming robe around his shoulders. The robe started compressing and soon materialized into a heavy sword which looked no less than the Holy Sword of the Emperor.

The sword was so heavy that the ground itself trembled a little as the tip of the heavy sword touched the ground.

With a sword this heavy, it was impossible to be fast. That's why people avoided such a heavy sword when dealing with people who were known for their agility.

The Guide didn't seem to care about that, even after seeing Eren's speed while dodging the dagger.

"I guess I will find your real identity after I take you down."
