Simultaneously, a dagger materialized in Eren\'s left hand, which he swiftly plunged into the Minister\'s shoulder.

The Minister of War let out a pained groan as the blade sank into his flesh, his grip on the sword weakening.

Losing his balance, he tumbled to the ground, the sword clattering down beside him, the sound echoing through the corridor.

The Holy Emperor also reached Eren, his face etched with concern.

"Are you alright?" he asked, his eyes scanning Eren for any signs of injury.

Eren glanced at the Holy Emperor, his eyes narrowing. Although he knew that the Holy Emperor didn\'t have a hand in this assassination attempt, that didn\'t mean he wasn\'t going to play his cards right.

At the moment, the initiative was in his hands, especially since the Holy Emperor didn\'t know that he was also from another world.

For now, he was just the Great Elder of the Great Demon Sect who had all the reason to take this incident as evidence of the Empire\'s hostility towards him.

"That\'s an interesting thing to ask after asking your subordinates to attack me, isn\'t it?"

Even though Eren didn\'t move an inch from his position, his voice was dripping with a heavy trace of hostility to make the Emperor realize what kind of situation he was in.

The Minister of War lay on the ground, clutching his wounded shoulder. He glared up at Eren, his expression twisted with hatred.

His mouth was filled with an unknown black liquid that was spilling out of his mouth akin to overflowing poison. Although Eren already expected something like this, he still couldn\'t help but subconsciously praise the Minister of War.

He made it appear that he was accidentally poisoned when he fell, not actually wanting to crush the poison pill in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, I have failed!" he said as his body started growing pale, once again putting the blame on the Emperor.

With how hard he was trying to pin the blame on the Holy Emperor, it was a little too obvious. Eren wasn\'t sure if it was because the Minister of War was just so flustered with the appearance of the Holy Emperor or something else.

"How dare you frame me? I never gave such instructions!" the Holy Emperor exclaimed, clearly panicked.

Looking at his response, Eren was able to gain a little more understanding about the Holy Emperor. It became evident that he was only recently possessed so he wasn\'t able to come to terms with the sudden changes.

Eren ignored the Holy Emperor and walked towards the minister of war who was lying on the ground.

The Holy Emperor tried to approach him, only to be blocked by Zia who appeared as if she was actually going to attack him if he took another step forward.

Unlike Eren, Zia hadn\'t managed to properly analyze the situation. On top, Eren had blamed the Holy Emperor which further strengthened her assumption.

She was really holding herself back from killing the Holy Emperor as she wanted Eren to have this opportunity.

Yu Lin, on the contrary, was more focused on the Guards that accompanied the Emperor.

Seeing the killing intent being directed at the Emperor, the Royal Guards had also raised their weapons to protect the emperor.

"Lower your weapons! Don\'t cause any further misunderstanding!" The Holy Emperor commanded the Royal Guards that were still loyal to him.

"But Your Majesty...?" The Guards hesitated. If they weren\'t prepared to protect the Emperor, then weren\'t they all no different than sitting ducks in front of these people?

"Do as I said!" The Holy Emperor exclaimed while taking a step back. He knew that there was no point in crying over the spilled milk.

All he could do was try to convince Eren that he really had no hand in it. For that, he had to tell them the secret that only he knew.

Although telling such things to people from an enemy continent was foolish, that was the only method he had.

While the Holy Priestess wanted to use them against him, he also had the exact option if he wanted to survive. To throw out the Holy Priestess and save his life, he needed the help of another organization which was similarly strong.

He has also considered taking the help of the Necromancer Tower but he didn\'t have any access to them. Moreover, if he was exposed, even his loyal servants were going to become hostile to him.

There was nothing that the people of Western Continent hated more than the Necromancer Tower. The only option he had was the Great Demon Sect.

"All of the guards, leave! I want absolute privacy!" The Holy Emperor told the Guards who grew even more confident.

Unfortunately, they couldn\'t ignore the Emperor\'s orders. After slight hesitation, they lowered their weapons and left.

The Holy Emperor was left with the guests from the East, alone. The Holy Emperor also cast a barrier around the entire section of the palace after making sure that no guards or servants were here.

What he was about to say next, could only be heard by Eren.

"You really thought you could have a quick death after attacking me? How sweet." Eren sat on a knee in front of the Minister of War.

He brought out a ninth grade healing pill from his inventory and forcefully shoved it inside the mouth of the Minister of War, using the Dragon Tongue Magic to have the man consume it.

The moment the Minister of War noticed the Dragon Magic, his body froze. He tried speaking but Eren used the Dragon Tongue Magic again to seal the man\'s ability to speak.

"We are going to have quite some fun," Eren told the man, lightly tapping his cheeks while the man simply trembled in fear.
