Chapter 498: Sword of Retribution

Eren stopped before the man of unknown origin who wanted to kill Felona. He also momentarily looked at Felona, who had stabbed him in the back.

It was clear that she had done that to protect him. However, she didn't know the spiritual dagger had been useless to him.

If anything, it had helped him. Even though spiritual paralysis poison wasn't harmful for his body, something within him found it to be extremely useful.

The entire poison was greedily absorbed by the sword mark on his arm, awakening the mark that had been asleep for a long time.

Although the paralysis was not effective on him, it allowed him to see just how much that girl was willing to sacrifice for him. It wasn't loyalty that came from being conquered. Instead, it came straight from the heart.

Her actions also allowed him an opportunity to switch places. As the Holy Emperor, he couldn't reveal other abilities. However, it was different for the Demon Sect's Great Elder.
