Chapter 548 Result
He seized the opportunity to utilize the unpredictable skill and softly whispered, "Echo of Eternity!"
The moment he activated the skill, Eren felt his consciousness being drawn into an unknown darkness, while another consciousness took control of his body.
He drifted in the boundless darkness for what seemed like an eternity, even though the skill's duration was only thirty seconds.
He was slightly curious to see if his problem was going to be solved like last time when he returned. He was even looking forward to it.
After what felt like an eternity, he felt his consciousness being freed from this prison again. He was returning to his body as the time of skill was over.
"It hurts..."
It was the first thought that came to his mind when he came to his senses. He felt like the back of his head was hurting a lot, as if he had hit something hard.
There was lying on the ground, with something heavy resting on his body.
He already had a rough guess about the situation as he opened his eyes. Yevni was lying on top of him, still asleep. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
Just as he expected, he was on the ground, with a heavy stone being close to his head.
Normally, if he had hit that stone the way he did, his skull would have cracked open. Fortunately, his physique was much stronger. All he felt was a little pain but he wasn't bleeding.
Looking at the situation, Eren came to a realization. He had failed in his gambling. The skill was just as unpredictable as he had assumed.
Within the last thirty seconds, he had fallen off the Infernal Beast. It was most probably because the one summoned this time was his past self which was horrified by this situation.
Fortunately the skill duration was only thirty seconds, or something much worse might have happened.
"Just as I thought, my luck is not good in this world."
He sat up, still holding the girl in his arms. Fortunately, he soon caught sight of the Infernal Beast which was standing not far from him.
Even after he had fallen, the Infernal Beast hadn't run away.
"It is a disappointment, but it seems like I might have to give up on you." He walked closer to the Infernal Beast, feeling slightly regretful that he might not control it.
If he had more time with the Infernal Beast, he might have found a way to control it completely. Unfortunately, time was what he lacked in the first place.
"If only I could take you with me, without worrying about that man..." He patted the beast, which was clearly going to turn hostile when given the right opportunity.
It was only temporarily that the beast was listening to him, because of its real master's instructions.
He retracted his hand, thinking about sending a blood close with the Infernal Beast to fool its master.
He was about to summon a Blood Clone when he abruptly stopped.
"Wait a minute..."
Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. The problem was that he couldn't take the Infernal Beast without being located by the owner.
If that was the case, didn't he already have a solution? He needed something that could hide the Infernal Beast to the point that even its master could not locate it.
He had just the thing that was needed for it. It was something that even the goddess couldn't detect in her own domain, let alone a mere Guardian.
"Your master told you to follow me. So will you come with me?" Eren asked the Infernal Beast, knowing that it was an intelligent being, albeit not to the extent of a human.
The Beast didn't understand the meaning of the question. Still, he nodded as his master told him to do it. He had to make sure to stick with Eren, until it was the right time.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After receiving the response of the Infernal Beast, Eren revealed a smile. All the conditions were satisfied.
The Infernal Beast was suddenly caught by spatial chains as an Inventory appeared next to Eren. The beast resisted, but it was too late. It had already given permission to Eren's request, satisfying the condition.
It was dragged inside Eren's inventory, which could also carry living beasts, just like it had been carrying the Phoenix.
With that, Eren robbed the Infernal Beast from the Guardian. He had all the time in the world to find a way to control the Infernal Beast. From having barely any time to having all the time in the world, it took only a few minutes.
"I need to get out of here." Eren wasn't sure if the contracts of this world were the same as his world.
If it was the case, then it was only a matter of time before the Guardian was going to feel the connection disappearing suddenly. When that happened, the Guardian was definitely going to come personally.
He didn't want to be here when that happened. Fortunately, he had no need to wait for the Guardian to arrive.
In his inventory, there was just the thing that he needed. It was a Mythical Beast of his own, his very first mount in this world.
Eren summoned the Phoenix, which appeared in front of him. The Phoenix was a beast that was closely connected to life and death. It was one of the one few beasts that could resurrect through death.
If any beasts from his world were compatible with hell, then it was the Phoenix. The essence of death couldn't corrode the flames of a Phoenix.
Instead, it was the essence of death which was burning when getting close to the phoenix. With the summoning of phoenix, the area was immediately purified of the essence of death, increasing visibility.
Eren didn't have time to appreciate the right. He simply climbed on top of the Phoenix with the girl in his arms.
The phoenix spread her wings, soaring high in the skies of Hell.
