"the princess is wise. a wild beast is truly more dangerous. it might be a good opportunity to tame him." the guard nodded, feeling somewhat proud that her mistress was so wise.
she was sure that the second primordial was going to be proud when he heard the way his sister dealt with this issue.
"ah, the punching bag is back." eren revealed a smile, watching a flaming figure rushing towards him.
"ice!" he raised his hand, using his frost physique, something that he hadn't used in a long time.
he didn't use his physique to attack the hellhound, only freezing the entire street and surroundings in ice.
the young hellhound had been running towards eren, but the entire street had suddenly turned to ice. he momentarily lost his balance while running, skidding across the distance.
still, he kept his focus on eren, opening his jaws wide to reveal his sharp fangs. unfortunately, the slight moment of his lost focus was enough for eren to take the advantage.
eren stepped aside, whispering under his breath, "strengthening."
"dragon tongue... i was right." in the distance, sophia's eyes brightened up.
although it was a basic spell of dragon tongue to strengthen the physique, it was still something that only dragons could use.
eren didn't stop and used another dragon language spell. "stability!"
eren firmly planted left foot on the ground, twisting his body clockwise as his right foot came swinging.
the reinforced right foot was further strengthened as dragon scales appeared on eren's feet that slammed against the hellhound's face, sending him flying into another building.
"partial dragonification. that's..." with every passing second, sophia was growing more impressed by eren's abilities.
"why aren't you fighting back? i thought you enjoyed fighting." eren asked, again his fist landing on the hellhound's face, almost cracking his skull.
"w-who are you?" the hellhound never felt this close to death, as he did now. it was clear that this man wanted his life.
he didn't want to use him as a hostage to save the other outsider. instead, he genuinely wanted to kill him.
"did you forget me so soon?" eren asked, but didn't explain. his fist never stopped, as he was starting to enjoy it.
it was as if he was trying to see how many punches without any special abilities it took, to crack through that man's skull.
"stop right there!" eren was so immersed that he barely heard the should of the vice patriarch of hellhound family.
"ah, if it isn't the old man. it's fine, you don't have to worry. even if i kill him, i will give you a nice compensation."
as eren spoke, he swung his left hand, tossing a projectile at the vice patriarch.
the vice patriarch reached out his hand, catching the projectile. however, even he was barely able to catch it, the projectile passing through his flesh, entering his palm halfway.
"this coin..." he pulled out the projectile from his bleeding palm, not failing to recognize it. the similarity was uncanny, especially the same coin being tossed.
"it is you!" he exclaimed, unable to believe that the person that his nephew was bullying, was such a strong outsider.
"release my nephew this instant, or i will be forced to take action!" although he was shocked, his nephew's life was still most important for him.
"release him? since i am a kind hearted man, i will listen to you. i will release him..." eren sighed and stood up, releasing the hellhound.
however, just as the vice patriarch was starting to feel relieved, he saw eren turn around. his hand transformed into a claw that stabbed through the blazing chest of the hellhound.
to everyone's disbelief, eren clawed out the heart of the young hellhound before finally completing his sentence, "i will release him from this life, just as you asked."
