The Holy Essence was like a poison to the people of the Northern Continent, just like the essence of death was a poison for the Holy Warriors.
Despite that, the unknown figure held the dagger made purely from the Holy Essence, not reacting in the least to the burning sensation in his hand.
A black flame appeared within his hand which started corrupting the dagger of holy essence. The pure golden shade of the dagger started turning darker until it was pitch black, not having even the slightest resemblance to its original self.
"This is a good gift." The Guide told Eren while observing the dagger that had been completely corrupted in the essence of death.
Even if the Holy Essence was a poison for him, he simply used a stronger poison to counter it.
"Unfortunately, I can't accept this gift. So I will have to return it." He had barely finished speaking when he waved his hand, sending the dagger flying back towards Eren with a speed even faster.
