SWNOVELXO Chapter 585: Overgrown Lizard
For his sister, he had destroyed the entire Hellhound City and offended the other Primordials. Even if his sister told him that it was because of another person with the dragon bloodline, he found it hard to believe.
It was only when his sister's guards confirmed the presence of Eren, that he started to believe about his existence. Another witness of Eren's existence was the Princess of the Nightwing Clan, who was staying in his palace.
He really wanted to find Eren, but because of the conflict with the other Primordials, he couldn't spare any time. He had activated his spies to find Eren, but even that didn't work.
It was as if Eren had disappeared like a ghost. He couldn't be found anywhere, which made him eventually drop the search, thinking that Eren might have returned where he came from.
He didn't expect to find Eren when he came to investigate the unexpectedly large explosion near the Capital. Even more surprising was the fact that he was with the first primordial, and the two of them appeared to be on friendly terms.
Eren was about to reject the accusations that he had bullied the second Primordial's sister, but before he could open his lips, options materialized before him.

[Option One: "Yes I have bullied her. What is an overgrown lizard like you going to do about it?"
Rewards: Potion of Luck]
[Option Two: "I have no idea what you are talking about. I've never been to Hellhound City."
Reward: Potion of Agility]
[Option Three: "Why would I bully that oversized lizard?"
Reward: Potion of Strength]
[Option Four: Maintain silence and ignore the question.
Reward: Potion of Stamina]
At the sight of the options, Eren let out a tired sigh.
"Yes, I have bullied her. What is an overgrown lizard like you going to do about it?" he asked in an arrogant tone, as if paying no heed to the Second Primordial.
He wasn't sure if he was going to regret this selection, but he didn't want to miss the reward. A Potion of Luck was something that could create perfect synergy with his Echo of Eternity, which depended on luck.
If he consumed the potion before using Echo of Eternity, he had a feeling that the one he called forth would definitely be from the future.
As for antagonizing the Second Primordial, that was an afterthought. Even if he didn't want to offend the Second Primordial, he had to make a choice, and he selected the First Primordial.
He needed the First Primordial to learn more about Earth and recover his main body. Even if there was some risk involved, he had to rely on the First Primordial.
Following his words, there was absolute silence in the place. Even the other Primordials were looking in disbelief. Someone had actually called the Second Primordial an overgrown lizard while all of them were present.
The First Primordial also raised a brow, appearing quite surprised by the response. Not many people could be this courageous when standing before the Second Primordial.
Just where did this boy get the courage? He wondered if it was because of him.
Instead of hiding behind the first primordial, Eren stood in the lead like a brave warrior. Although he looked nonchalant as if he truly wasn't scared, deep down, he was really hoping for the first primordial to help him if needed.
"An overgrown lizard, huh." The Second Primordial mumbled, his expressions being unreadable. "Are you being so courageous because you expect him to protect you?"
"Do you think he would be able to protect you if I really wanted to kill you?" he asked.
"Are you saying that he is scared of you?" Eren asked the Second Primordial, twisting those words in his favor.
The First Primordial frowned, as those words really did sound like that.
He really didn't plan to save Eren unless that boy was able to prove that he was really from earth. However, the point had been so swiftly changed that if he really didn't save Eren, it might really look like he was scared.
It didn't take him long to realize the kind of trick that Eren was trying to pull, which brought a smile to his lips. This shamelessness reminded him of earth, and his home.
"I am afraid that I have taken an interest in the boy. So I will be taking him." He placed his hand on Eren's shoulder.
Eren inwardly sighed in relief. Did his gamble work? He had truly offended the Second Primordial, but it didn't matter much. It wasn't as if he was here to make friends.
He had already completed his goals of coming to this world. His brother was dead, and so was the Tower Master. He had also received the blood needed to remove the second seal.
Now all that was left was for him to find a way to bring his real body back from earth and return to the new world to remove the other two seals.
"Didn't you hear him accept that he bullied my sister? It's because of him, that the Hellhound City was destroyed and the long lasting peace between the Primordials was broken!"
The Second Primordial exclaimed. If Eren wasn't standing right next to Lysander, he would have already taken that boy.
He wanted Eren to teach him a lesson, but more importantly, he wanted him because it had been a long time since he had seen another dragon species that had a bloodline comparable to his Bloodline if not stronger.
He wanted to know if there was a world where dragon species still lived, especially ones that were as strong as him. If he could connect to that world and bring them here, he might stop the Dragons in this world from going extinct.
He might even create his own dragon army and break the balance of this world in his favor. The success of his plans depended on Eren. He had to get Eren back at any cost.
