538 Chapter 538: It's just me
He knew that his daughter's beauty would inevitably draw the attention of the Primordial Star of Lust. It was already likely that he had arrived here after hearing about the beauty of his daughter from somewhere.
If he confirmed that rumor and became interested in her, it was going to lead to only two inevitable outcomes. Either the primordial star would die, or Yevni would.
If Yevni were to die, that would be the end of it. But if the Primordial Star were to meet its end here, then the first Primordial Star might arrive. And when that happened, their entire clan was going to be buried with the Seventh Star Rezekiel.
Yevni's fate was sealed in either scenario.
The only way to save her was to ensure that she did not appear attractive enough to captivate the seventh Primordial Star.
She could disguise, but the Primordial Star could easily see through the disguise. Only reality could fool him, and that's what Yevni had to do.
"L-Lady Yevni?" The maid was slightly horrified when she saw Yevni start to slice through her own flesh, leaving not even an inch untouched.
Even though the wounds weren't harmful because of the healing, permanent marks were left on her face. She didn't stop there and kept slicing through, feeling the pain of every inch that the dagger stabbed through in her flesh. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Aren't they a little too scared of the Seventh Star? They're so strong, and still they are so scared. I wonder how strong this Seventh Star is going to be."
"Should I follow these two back to their clan? I might come across the Primordial Star, which will be dangerous."
Eren was starting to wonder about his next course of action. He could follow them, which was dangerous. The Stars were clearly here to look for him, or the Necromancers that came before him.
He was basically going to be led straight to the people that were looking for him. He didn't even know if they had any method of locating him if he was too close to them.
At the same time, he also couldn't stay behind. He had barely found another person in this place where he could barely see anything. If he let them go, he might never be able to get out of this place.
Moreover, simply because he didn't follow the girls, it didn't mean that the stars weren't going to find him in this place if they actually had a method to locate him.
"The most dangerous place is often the safest place. And it seems like the girl also wants to avoid them. Maybe it might actually not be that bad."
He tried to convince himself to follow the girls. Through them, he might gain information that was restricted to the upper echelon of this world, which might also contain the news about his so-called brother.
These people were supposed to have come from the Capital after all. Although he didn't know if hell followed the same system as earth, there was a high chance that the Capital was the most important place of hell.
After the woman finished scarring her body, she kept the dagger back. Normally, her wounds would've healed on her own. However, under the effect of the dagger, the wounds weren't healing to that extent, despite her bloodline.
It was exactly what she wanted. From the prettiest girl in her clan, she had now turned to the ugliest girl in the clan as per her own definition.
After finishing, she started leaving, her eyes appearing just as cautious as ever.
Eren spread out his wings and started flying after the two girls, who covered a large distance with a single step. It was proving harder for Eren to catch up to their speed, because of the size.
Even more troubling was the fact that he had to go through that dark mist again, which restricted his vision. Fortunately, there was the sound of footsteps which helped him find a rough lead.
After walking for close to half an hour, the girls had slowed down. Eren was able to get even closer to them, his speed finally matching and even surpassing their speed.
Instead of following like a fly from the distance and getting caught, he took the risk and flew closer. He grabbed the robe of Yevni, stabbing his claws inside to hang by it.
"We caught the intruders! Hahaha, so fast!" Another shout came, which surprised Eren.

He didn't have to fly after them anymore. He could simply hide inside her robe, avoiding any sharp gazes of others. At the same time, he could also rest and save his energy.
As Yevni stepped out of the forest, the estate of her family came to sight, with bones littered all around it, as if forming a bridge that led to the estate.
As she reached the entrance, the guards took a second glance at her, trying their hardest to not ask questions or show any disgust to her looks.
They also appeared somewhat confused. When she left, she was so beautiful. How was she so scarred after returning? Was she attacked by someone along the way?
If the maid wasn't following her, they would've even suspected if she was actually Yevni or someone else, despite the same clothes.
"If you don't want to become my food, then step aside," Yevni the guards, who quickly stepped aside, repeatedly apologizing.
Distracted by her looks, they had forgotten how dangerous this woman should be.
Yevni was about to step inside, and Eren was also relieved that he wasn't caught.
"Intruder!" Suddenly a loud shout came.
Eren's expressions darkened. Was he caught so fast? The clan actually had a method to detect intruders as long as they passed through the threshold of the estate?
"We caught the intruders! Hahaha, so fast!" Another shout came, which surprised Eren.
He was alone. Why were there shouts that they caught intruders? Unless they weren't talking about him.
He peeped out of the robe, being extremely careful. He briefly caught sight of more giant guards that were dragging two humans who were tied by chains.
"F*ck my life!" Eren exclaimed, catching sight of the so-called intruders.
They were wearing Necromancer Tower robes. They were definitely two of the many Hall Masters that had arrived with the Tower Master.
What frustrated Eren the most was that their size was normal. It wasn't the people of this world that were giants. Instead, he was the one who was extremely small.
"It's just me..." The realization started setting in.
