Chapter 1816 Naya's Reemergence

Eren's core beliefs remained unchanged even after landing in Labh Salem.

He continued to work hard to sharpen his skills and build a steady foundation.

He kept investing in himself, making full use of the rich and diverse resources available in Labh Salem.

Even though Tantra's practice improved his speed and efficiency, Eren didn't cut down on his efforts. On the contrary, it made him even more steadfast on his Path than ever before.

One could say that what Sansara Sage was attempting to do after achieving Perfect Sainthood was being done by Eren when he was just a Grandmaster Ranker.

He was essentially living multiple lives through the use of his clones, broadening and perfecting his Path even more than before.

All he needed to do at the Ranker's Calamity was to fuse all his experiences and smelt them to achieve Sagehood.

Of course, by this point, Eren had also come to realize that the Ranker's Calamity that he was going to trigger in Labh Salem would be anything but normal. He needed the right place and time to go through such a ground-shaking experience– something he wasn't prepared for yet.

As such, Eren didn't become anxious because of his temporary pause in the Ranking Progress. In fact, he even felt somewhat relieved that he didn't have to deal with the problems that would arrive if and when he triggered the Calamity.

Eren and Altair conversed for a while and reached an agreement. Due to their busy schedules, meeting in person was not feasible.

Unlike in Anfang, Eren had no intention of establishing a White Raven cult or an Elder Ichor temple in Labh Salem. Simply because it did not serve his purpose.

"Are we out of trouble?" Naya asked as she appeared in Siren's Sanctuary.

Similar to Reen, she had been alerted by Eren while she was outside Sunhaven to stand guard in case any temple forces or demonic cults decided to strike.

In her humanoid form, Naya had become even more mysterious, powerful, and beautiful. Her demonic heritage and beastly aura were concealed after coming to Sunhaven, presenting her as a regular mortal girl in her early 20s.

Naya, like others from Eren's team, had managed to reestablish contact with him during the last five years. Originally a demon beast formally bound to Birmond Remus, Eren had altered the Faustian Contract after her original owner's death, making her his allied demon beast.

Progressing significantly since her entry into Labh Salem, Naya was also in the A-Rank, slightly trailing behind Eren. Labh Salem's abundance of resources suited the demonkind, making Naya feel like she had transitioned from a backwater origin to a prosperous place.

"Yeah," Eren nodded before assigning her the task he had discussed with Altair.

"I want you to take Freya and act as the leader of the fiends stationed aboard it," Eren explained the details of their plan.

After a brief chat, Naya left for Freya straight from Siren Sanctuary's backyard. Eren watched her depart aboard Freya before turning around, muttering to himself, "Goddess Sekhmet's annual celebration is tomorrow. I guess I gotta get ready."

Eren anticipated this annual celebration due to an invitation from Wilfer, making him a potential bearer of the Virtue Series Marks. Eren wanted to test if his soul could carry the Virtue Series Marks.

Confident in handling potential ramifications with his immortal soul, he decided to try his luck and see if God Aleph's bloodline unlocked additional benefits for him.
