Chapter 26: Against the Great Elder
Despite the allure of her voice and scent, he knew he had to stay focused. It became evident to him that this place was far more dangerous than he had initially anticipated.
"I am here to look for something, not to entertain your advances," he firmly stated, his gaze fixed on the veiled woman in the distance.
Even though her face was concealed, he could feel his heart race with each glance in her direction.
Determined to resist this strange force, he averted his gaze, refusing to succumb to its influence.
Undeterred by his rejection, the woman\'s seductive smile grew wider as she took a step closer.
"But I am the Librarian. I can help you find what you\'re looking for," she purred, mischief gleaming in her eyes. "And you have piqued my curiosity. Why not become mine and indulge in pleasures beyond your imagination?"
Confusion furrowed Eren\'s eyebrows. How could the Librarian be so enchanting and audacious?
He had read that she was a silent person who rarely engaged with others unless asked questions first. Her behavior this time seemed completely out of character.
While she had been described as beautiful, her behavior seemed excessive.
"I apologize for any misunderstanding, but my purpose here is to seek knowledge, not romance," Eren replied, attempting to regain control of the situation.
The Librarian chuckled softly, her laughter resonating like a melodious echo through the library.
"Knowledge and romance often intertwine, don\'t they?" she mused, her eyes shimmering with mystery. "Perhaps I can assist you in finding what you seek."
"No, thank you. I will return another time," Eren responded, sensing the danger lurking within this place.
As he pondered further, a nagging feeling grew, telling him that something was amiss. This woman couldn\'t possibly be the Librarian. Her demeanor and mannerisms were entirely different.
In fact, she resembled someone else he had read about, someone he never wished to encounter within the sect.
Thoughts of Grand Elder Xiu Ying, a seductress capable of killing without lifting a finger, flashed through his mind. He desperately hoped he was merely overthinking the situation.
The Librarian\'s smile widened, a mischievous glint dancing in her eyes.
"How cruel of you. Do you find this poor girl repulsive?" she taunted.
With a swift movement, she disappeared and reappeared at the entrance, blocking the only exit.
"Is it because you believe this girl to be ugly?" she questioned. "If that\'s the case..."
Slowly, she lifted her veil, and despite Eren\'s desire to look away, a mysterious force held his body in place, preventing him from averting his gaze or even closing his eyes.
As the veil lifted, Eren\'s gaze fell upon the face of the woman before him, and his breath caught in his throat. It was as if the last defense in his mind broke.
Time seemed to stand still as he beheld the ethereal beauty of Xiu Ying, the Grand Elder of the sect.
Her features were delicate and flawless, like a porcelain doll brought to life.
The moonlight cascaded upon her silky, black hair, which flowed down in gentle waves, framing her face with a captivating allure.
Her eyes, a mesmerizing shade of deep amethyst, held a magnetic intensity that seemed to penetrate Eren\'s very soul.
Her lips, adorned with a hint of a smile, were the epitome of temptation. They held a promise of secrets and pleasures yet to be discovered.
Each curve and contour of her face seemed to have been sculpted by the gods themselves, radiating an otherworldly glow.
Her porcelain skin was smooth and unblemished, reminiscent of freshly fallen snow. It glowed with an inner luminosity, casting a soft radiance that seemed to envelop the entire room.
Eren couldn\'t help but be captivated by the graceful elegance that exuded from every pore of Xiu Ying\'s being. It was as if he was hypnotized.
Her slender figure was draped in a flowing, crimson silk robe that accentuated her every movement.
The fabric seemed to caress her body, emphasizing her graceful curves and accentuating her innate allure.
Eren felt himself drawn to her, a magnetism that he struggled to resist.
As Xiu Ying moved closer, her presence filled the room, enveloping Eren in a seductive aura.
The air grew heavy with anticipation, and the scent of blooming flowers mingled with an underlying hint of danger. It was a fragrance that intoxicated the senses, leaving Eren both spellbound.
Eren\'s eyes turned completely blank, as if he had completely fallen for her charm.
It was a charm that even the strongest in the Hero Academy couldn\'t resist, let alone a man from earth.
With each step she took, a subtle grace and elegance danced in her movements, as if she were a celestial being walking among mortals.
Her every gesture held an enchanting power, commanding attention and stirring desires within those who dared to gaze upon her.
"How disappointing. To think you couldn\'t resist even a little. You are like the rest of them."
The woman looked at Eren in disappointment. "A man as fickle as you, doesn\'t deserve her. It\'s better if you disappear..."
She placed a small dagger in Eren\'s hand. "Kill yourself."
Eren had no resistance. He was under the effect of a skill. His hands moved on themselves, placing a dagger on his neck.
The Great Elder watched Eren, who was about to die. She was thinking about the excuses she was going to give the Sect Master. She already considered him dead after all.
However, just as she was convinced, the Pendant of Protection around Eren\'s throat started shining.
[A life threatening force had been detected. Pendant of Protection has been activated]
A notification appeared before Eren as the pendant shone even brightly. The mysterious alluring force that had captured his mind was shattered, freeing Eren.
That wasn\'t enough though.
The Pendant also retaliated at the person who had targeted him, deflecting the spell that had targeted Eren with double the strength.
The charm spell that had targeted Eren was sent back to the Great Elder, who couldn\'t resist the spell which had been strengthened by Eren\'s Pendant.
While Eren came out of control, holding a throbbing head, the Great Elder was much worse.
Although her eyes didn\'t go blank, a strange seed of love was planted in her heart for Eren.
She had truly fallen for Eren, to the point she could kill herself on his command!
