Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Harder to act
The barrier wasn\'t strong enough to block attacks of the Wind Tower Mage, but it was still strong enough to protect from other things. As it was like a transparent physical barrier, Eren was able to grab a hold of the barrier.
He grabbed the barrier that was around Feng Yu. Using all his might, he tossed the sphere away. Inside the barrier, Feng Yu wasn\'t going to be hurt even if the barrier fell from a mountain peak, making it the easiest way of sending her away without her will.
If anything,it was his way to have her get as far away from here as possible.
"You!" Feng Yu called out, but before she could continue, she was tossed high in the sky towards the edge of the mountain of loss.
Fey appeared as if he had been looking with great interest, wondering what Eren was going to try to stop him. It was clear that he didn\'t intervene as he thought that Eren couldn\'t do anything against him.
However, the moment he saw Eren toss Feng Yu away within the barrier, his pupils trembled. It was as if he couldn\'t allow her to get away.
"You\'re not going anywhere!" he rushed towards the sphere. As he couldn\'t fly here, he used all his might to jump as high as possible.
With each passing second, he closed the distance with the sphere to the point that his fingers were only half a meter away from the sphere and Feng Yu in return.
"Your opponent is me!" A voice came from behind Fey.
Feng Yu saw Eren grab Fey\'s feet, pulling him back. Both of them fell from the height of over a thousand feet.
Feng Yu tried to free herself from the barrier, but she couldn\'t. Until the effect of talisman ran out, she couldn\'t step out of the barrier. She didn\'t even have the strength to break it from the inside.
She could only see Eren\'s bleeding figure falling from the sky with Fey, the distance between them increasing with each passing second until she could no longer see them.
Around five minutes later, the protective barrier with Feng Yu inside, fell on the ground, traveling quite a distance, almost reaching the edge of the mountain of loss.
Feng Yu was completely unharmed, sitting inside the barrier. She could still see Eren\'s figure in front of her eyes as he pulled back Fey.
She tried to break the barrier and rush back, but the barrier was unbreakable.
She sat on the ground, her arms wrapped around her knees.
"You fool... Why did you...." she mumbled.
She was sure that Eren would have been able to escape if he had just run away alone.
....
Meanwhile, in another place, Eren landed on the ground with Fey.
As the barrier and Feng Yu had disappeared into the distance, he could relax slightly. As for the surging essence within his body, he didn\'t have to mind that.
What was the exhaustion of a little life essence now that he had a Bloodline of a Dragon? Life essence was the last thing he lacked.
If he was a human, he would have died or gotten seriously hurt by using that talisman, but he wasn\'t just a human. This was also what made him want to use the talisman of death to give his actions more impact.
Eren sat on the ground, tired. It was quite tiring to put in so much strength, especially when his body was bleeding all over.
Fey also landed next to him. Or rather, it was Yelen who was possessing the body of Fey.
The Wind Tower Mage also landed in front of Eren, not showing any hostility anymore. However, she was still curious. Why was Eren putting in so much effort for Feng Yu?
She had a rough guess. After all, which man didn\'t want to appear like a knight in shining armor in front of the woman they loved.
She had already assumed that Eren was doing it all for love, and nothing more. Why else would he give up on controlling the great demon sect, instead saving Feng Yu.
To some extent, she was even impressed with his conduct. To save his lover, he had entered the Mountain of Loss.
Although he didn\'t put his life on line for this battle, the battles that came before it were just as dangerous and real. The only difference was that Feng Yu wasn\'t awake to see them.
She was also starting to feel a little jealous of Feng Yu for having someone who cared so much about her.
Eren still hadn\'t cleared the blood from his face. He was so tired that he almost wanted to sleep.
"It\'s truly harder to put on an act than it is to actually fight," he commented as he rested his head on the pillow made from snow.
He wasn\'t sure what Feng Yu was going to do next. Although she had revealed some reaction, was it enough to sway the emotionless Demoness? He wasn\'t sure.
Was she even going to return in the future or just consider him dead and abandon him here? If it was the latter, he had to find an excuse and a proper story to return alive to the sect.
As he had read many novels, he knew all the excuses he could make, from some mysterious expert saving him to more. However, he really hoped that it was the former as it was more effective for what he wanted to do.
"Wait half an hour, then move on to the next step," he told the Wind Tower Mage and Yelen before closing his eyes, finally having some moments of peace.
Soon, half an hour passed and it was time to put on the next part of the act.
