Chapter 550 Battle of Ego
"Y-you..." The Guardian couldn't even gather the courage to turn around. He recognized that voice all too well.
It was the voice that belonged to a very unique person in hell. Many people took Rezekiel lightly, thinking that he was nothing more than a pervert who had entered the Primordial Rank through the help of his brother-in-law.
The Guardian was one of the rare few people who knew the reality. The Lustful Primordial was much more dangerous than anyone gave him credit for.
Even without any external help, he was still capable of standing amidst the Primordials. Behind his persona that the world had seen, there was a truly scary demon.
"W-what are you doing here?"
The Guardian didn't know how much Rezekiel knew about the situation. Did he already know that the girl was kidnapped? If that was the case, then he was in really serious trouble.
"I saw you leaving in such a hurry. I was curious as to where you were going." The Primordial Demon walked past the Guardian, only his cold back visible.
There was only a few meters of distance between them, but the Guardian knew that the real distance between them was much larger. Even if he worked all his life, he might not be able to catch up to Rezekiel.
With a single thought, the Lustful Primordial could kill him a thousand times in the most painful ways that could make someone crave death.
"I-i sensed the presence of a strong outsider and came to check. It seems that the person already ran away." The Guardian tried to salvage the situation as much as possible.
"Oh? There was a strong outsider whose presence could be sensed by you but not me?" The corner of Rezekiel's lips crept up.
Even though there was a smile on his lips, the Guardian felt the coldness in those words.
"I-" the Guardian tried speaking, but he felt an innate sense of danger. He could feel that he was going to die if he spoke a single word.
"If I'm not wrong, I told you to guard the Princess of Nightwing Clan. But here you are, chasing after an outsider. Were you ignoring my orders to gain more achievements and the glory of catching outsiders?"
The Primordial observed the footsteps of the Infernal Beast.
From the shadows, more Stars came out. They caught the Guardian Star and dragged him away, disappearing into the unknown.
After the Guardian Star was dragged away, Rezekiel looked back at the traces of the Phoenix.

He looked in the direction that was taken by the phoenix. However, he didn't seem pleased either.
"It just had to be a phoenix..."
If it was any other beast, he could have traced them with the aura they left behind. Unfortunately, a Phoenix was the most difficult being to trace.
A Phoenix's aura was perfectly destroyed by the essence of death which was all over the place.
He could only guess a rough direction based on the marks that the Phoenix had left on the ground, but it wasn't enough to judge the right direction. The phoenix could easily have changed the direction in the sky.
"If he's an outsider, he will definitely meet his friends. It seems like I will have to give them a personal visit." The Primordial Star turned around and disappeared as well.
Eren was flying away without any destination. He didn't know that there was a person who was trying to guess his destination.
He didn't have even the slightest idea about how badly he had screwed the Hall Master of the Necromancer Tower, who was now considered to be his friend by the Primordial Star.
Previously, the Primordial Star didn't take the outsiders seriously. It was just a game for him. His real aim was Yevni.
Unfortunately, this game had suddenly turned extremely serious for him. An outsider had entered his den and taken something that belonged to him.
It had been a long time since someone had offended him to this extent. Not a single person who had done that in the past had survived to see this day.
For the Primordial Star, it had become a battle of ego.
