Chapter 96: Chapter 96: You better not run away, my precious pendant!
Eren tightened his grip on his weapon, his heart pounding in his chest. The sea breeze tousled his hair as he stood on the edge of the Phoenix's back, ready to face the Sea Serpent head-on.
With a commanding gesture, Eren signaled the Phoenix to descend closer to the water's surface. As they approached, the Sea Serpent's immense size became even more apparent.
It glimmered under the moonlight, its scales reflecting a mesmerizing array of colors.
After coming closer, Eren was able to use his identification skill.
The status Screen of the sea serpent appeared right before his eyes.

Among his arsenal of Talismans, Eren possessed a particularly vital one. It was as rare as it was expensive, even in the Great Demon Sect.
It was a protective charm capable of ensuring his survival in the face of extreme conditions.
Whether submerged underwater or walking in treacherous icy terrains, this enchanted Talisman granted him the resilience necessary to endure and survive.
It allowed him to breathe underwater, while also allowing him to bear extreme temperature differences, albeit for only a few minutes.
"I am spending so much of my stockpile on you! You better not run away, my precious pendant!"
At this moment, Eren completely stopped caring about his surroundings or the danger. He did not see the difference in strength between the two... He did not see the stats.
All he saw was a beast that he had to kill, if he did not want to live his life in ignorance. In this moment, he was a hunter, who only had the prey in his mind, maybe even overestimating his abilities.
Eren landed on the burning skin of the Sea Serpent. Although the phoenix flames did not hurt him, but the burning skin of the servant was enough to make his shoes melt, and even burn his feet.
The Serpent did not notice that someone had landed on its back. All he knew was that he didn't like pain! It was too hot! He wanted to leave!
He ducked his head inside the water, and soon his body followed suit.
Eren took a deep breath, already expecting what was coming next. He firmly stabbed his sword on the sea serpent's back to improve his footing.
As the sea serpent moved inside the water, Eren stood atop like a Knight with both his hands on the sword.
He was dragged inside the dark and bloody water. If he was thinking clearly, he might have thought that he was doing something absurd. He could not even see properly under the bloody water after all.
To his advantage, he was not thinking straight. Or rather, he could not afford to think straight. He knew that the moment he started thinking, he might lose the courage that he had managed to gather.
He pulled out another sword from a storage ring. This was the sword kept inside the ring that was given to him by the Hero Academy.
He had never used this sword, worried about exposing his identity. But here, he didn't need to think about it.
"Die!" Eren stabbed the second sword on the scorching skin of the Sea Serpent.
