Lazarus: "Who Says I'm Running?"

Edgar fixed Eren with an intense gaze, his tone serious as he issued a stark warning.

"The Rankers surrounding this barrier won't grant you an easy death once they uncover what you've been doing right under their noses, Eren. They'll subject you to centuries of torment before allowing you to find release in death," Edgar cautioned.

Eren began to respond, but Edgar raised his hand in a 'halt' gesture and continued.

"How about this? The Last Blood Bastion can offer you protection to safely escort you to our hideout. In return, you need only surrender the complete inheritance of the Sansara Sage.

To be honest, I can't guarantee a safe extraction from this place, but we of the Last Blood Bastion will do our utmost to shield you and your assets. We both possess space-element runes and can work together to find a way out before the entire continent turns against you," Edgar's words dripped with desperation, revealing his lack of full confidence in the plan.
