Chapter 270: Chapter 270: The past that Returned
"Wait, before we came here, you said you only wanted to distract her. So how does kidnapping her fit in that equation? If you can actually kidnap her, why would you need to distract her?" She suddenly thought of something and asked.
Eren turned to her, tilting his head in confusion. He soon flicked her forehead.
"What nonsense are you even thinking about? As I am right now, how can I kidnap Mist? Won\'t that simply be looking for death?" he asked, as if he found her thoughts absurd.
Yelen rubbed her forehead that was hurting with the flick, but no mark was left behind.
"But you said we are going to do the same thing that Fey did?" she asked, looking at him like a child who had been wronged.
She just translated his words into a plan. How was it her fault if the plan sounded absurd? If anything, that was her whole point that kidnapping Mist was absurd.
"I meant we are going to kidnap someone, just like Fey had kidnapped someone. I never said that we are going to kidnap Mist," Eren explained, looking through his inventory.
He still had a Question Voucher. He could also try asking the Author for plans on kidnapping Mist, but he had a feeling that things might not turn out as he hoped.
If kidnapping Mist was so easy, he wouldn\'t have directed Fey to Feng Yu first. If there was no suitable way for that, it was no different than wasting his question voucher.
After a lot of struggle, he had received a question voucher and he wanted to use it on himself to get the most value out of it, especially now that he knew more about his own identity.
"Who are we going to kidnap then?" Yelen pondered over Eren\'s words.
They were here to kidnap someone from the Mythical Hero Academy from right under Mist\'s nose. But they couldn\'t kidnap any random person. If Mist didn\'t care about that person, it was going to be a waste.
Even if they kidnapped someone significant, it was still hard for Mist to be distracted by that. She had a lot of followers in the Mythical Hero Academy that could be left to investigate.
"We will kidnap someone that is closest to Mist. I will kidnap an old friend, Mist\'s daughter," Eren answered, looking at the token in his hand that was given to him by Mist\'s daughter when he saved her.
The token can be used to call for her help. The moment it was crushed, that girl was going to know that he needed her help. However, it had another use. It could be used to locate the exact whereabouts of that girl as long as she was within a certain range.
That\'s why Eren personally came to the Mythical Hero Academy where he expected that girl to be.
He didn\'t plan to hurt that girl. He only wanted to keep her for a short time to keep Mist but even then, he couldn\'t let her see his real face as he did that.
For that reason, he had a perfect disguise. Or rather, a disguise that he always wanted to try. Thanks to the new Bloodline that he stole from the Mythical Hero Academy Envoy, he was able to change his looks without needing the ring given by Devourer.
The only requirement was that he had to have seen the person that he wanted to disguise as, and there couldn\'t be a large enough difference between their builds.
He could only disguise as a man whose build was closer to his own. He also couldn\'t disguise as someone from the Eastern Continent.
At the same time, he also couldn\'t hide as a Hero while using abilities that didn\'t suit that hero, not sure who might know that person here.
There were two perfect candidates that came to his mind, especially since he could also use their abilities.
The first candidate was the Dragon Prince that was killed by him. Using him, he could definitely bring more trouble to the Sea Dragon Empire that tried to kill him.
However, he wasn\'t a master of the Dragon Tongue yet. He could only use that as a supplement for his other abilities, which made him from the idea.
There was only one other person who came to his mind, especially since that person also had a reason to do something like that. With that person\'s identity, he could definitely make sure that Mist was serious about this incident.
"I wonder how she will react when she realizes that an old friend had returned to repay her." He took off his clothes, keeping them in his inventory.
He donned a different set of clothes that he had specially prepared for a day like this. These were clothes that he had seen in a certain memory. These were what that person was wearing when he had last seen him.
As he stirred his disguise Bloodline, his body started changing. His hair grew shorter and the red inside them disappeared, being replaced by a much darker color.
He had changed into Devourer, the person that had brought all four continental Overlords together in their attempt to hunt him.
At first, he had thought that it was because they were scared of his abilities. But after seeing the memories in the first memory fragment, he knew that there was more to it.
He wasn\'t just chased and killed because of his abilities. Instead, he was chased because someone wanted to reach him through Devourer.
Devourer had died for him, and now Eren planned to bring him back to make sure the Overlord that killed him was never at peace.
