Eren's target was Sera who was Mist's daughter. Even though she was close to him, he knew he couldn't reach her as long as Mist was next to her.
It was especially the case since she was strong enough to blow him away now that he didn't have the pendant of protection. To reach her, he had to bring Mist to disarray.
Not having anything better, he suddenly held her hand, estimating that she was not going to kill him. It was a risk that he took but the risk appeared to work out.
As he held her hand that had killed a lot of people, Mist was taken aback and stepped back, giving Eren the opportunity that he needed.
With enough room, Eren took his final step, maintaining the act until he was at the final point.
Fear in his eyes suddenly disappeared. It all happened so fast that no one noticed it but for a fleeting moment, something similar to a sense of achievement appeared on his face.
