Eren felt the rope's grip tighten around his arm, its golden glow intensifying as it weakened his strength.
The sensation was like an icy chill spreading through his veins. He could sense his power diminishing, the dragon energy within him being suppressed to some extent by the artifact's enchantment.
The Cardinal below watched with smug satisfaction.
He arrogantly sneered, "Even the strongest fall when faced with true power, let alone insects like you. Now let's bring you down from your high cloud!"
His grip around the rope tightened as he suddenly pulled with all his might. He even used his holy aura to strengthen his body, planning to slam Eren near his foot with enough to destroy more than half of Eren's bones.
"Hmm?" His expressions soon twisted in strangeness. Even as he tried pulling the rope, he wasn't able to. He looked above as he tried again but Eren didn't move even an inch.
