My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

"I-it is not about that. Y-your brother..."

"What did my brother do?" The Empress narrowed her eyes. The man who was explaining, suddenly felt like a heavy mountain was resting on his shoulders.

"He is dead... His Soul Jade has broken..."

The Empress stood up, slamming the palm rest. The entire throne room fell silent.

"Are you saying that a mere Sea Serpent killed my brother? Do you know the consequences of lies?"

Her brother could not die to the Sea Serpent. It was an easy test for him, with almost no risk. Moreover, he also had an escape bracelet.

If his life was actually in danger, he easily could have escaped. In this Ocean, no one should have means or the courage to kill him!

"I wish it was a lie. However, I was in the temple when I saw his soul jade shattered. I saw it with my own eyes."

The man kept his head down. He tried to control himself, but his hands were still visibly trembling.

"I have already sent the Warriors to the location where he died. Before long, we should have our answer."

The man carefully raised his head, trying to peek at the expressions of the Empress.

He grew stunned to see that the Empress was not there anymore. She was gone.

He fell on his back, covered in sweat. "I thought she might kill me in anger. Looks like I survived."

"She is personally going there. The person who killed the Prince would truly have a life worse than death now."

....

Eren killed the Sea Dragon Prince. Even he hadn\'t realized how he actually did it.

It was as if the Sword Emperor\'s Aura created a perfect synergy with the Pendant of Poison in that moment. He felt like the attack had naturally come to him at that moment.

Before that attack, he did not know if he could succeed, but had a feeling deep down that this was what he was supposed to do. Even he was surprised to see how effective this attack was.

Unfortunately, he felt overwhelmed at the loss of blood. His vision had already gotten a little blurry while his body started falling down.

The Phoenix, even with a hurt wing, came flying down.

Eren\'s body landed on the Phoenix\'s back, but the Phoenix could not keep flying. She tried to control its descent only to crash on the ground, her wing covered in blood.

Eren saw the Phoenix, which was heavily hurt. The blood was not stopping, and he had no medicine to help the young mythical beast.

Even with his head swinging due to blood loss, he thought about ways to protect her.

"I will let nothing happen to you." He placed his hand on the Phoenix\'s back, and sent her back to his Inventory.

In his Inventory, the flow of time did not exist. The only way to stop the bleeding was to put the Phoenix here. Only after returning to the sect could he have someone help her.

As the Phoenix disappeared, Eren landed on the ground. He forced his body up, trying to see clearly with his blurry vision. Unfortunately, his steps were even more unstable than his vision.

Not far from him, the giant dragon\'s body also fell from the sky, making the entire Island tremble.

He wiped the tears of blood and walked closer to the body of the Sea Dragon Prince. He kept the entire body of the Sea Dragon in his Inventory, along with the head.

He did not have enough time to enter the sea dragon and find his heart. And even if he had time, he did not want to do it here. He had just killed the Sea Dragon Prince.

The first thing he wanted was to get out of here and return to the surface.

After that point, even if the Sea Dragons attacked the continent, that\'s for Mist to handle.

After he kept the sea dragon\'s corpse in his inventory, he saw a small object lying on the ground, something that looked like a bracelet.

"Is that..."

He picked up the bracelet and used the Identification skill on it.

[Bracelet of Escape: A one time use unique item which allows the user teleport to a location of their choice which they had seen before]

"What a great haul. With this, I should be able to-"

"Hmm?" Eren stopped in the middle of his sentence as the description scene disappeared.

In its place, a blood red screen appeared in front of him.

[Option One: Run Away as fast as possible.

Reward: A surprise gift from earth]

[Option Two: Stay here, and face the calamity.

Reward: Random Soul Transfer]

[Option Three: Kill yourself to avoid pain.

Reward: Bloodline transfer to Xiu Ying]

[Option Four: Hide and survive.

Reward: Level +5]

"This..."

Eren\'s expressions darkened. The options were only pointing towards one thing. Death was approaching!

"Where is Xiu Ying now?! We have to escape!" He called out as he looked around.

Unfortunately, his expressions only became worse as he saw a woman coming out of water. Eren felt a suppression that gave him the urge to kneel, which he resisted with all his might.

The woman looked at Eren with a deathly glare.

"Are you the one who killed my brother?"

"I am so weak. Do you think I can kill even an ant?" Eren asked in return, pretending to be ignorant.

However, as soon as he finished, the woman materialized right in front of him with a scary speed.

A claw, sharp as a razor, lunged straight towards his chest, catching him completely off guard.

In a split second, it became evident that negotiation was not on the woman\'s agenda as she launched an attack without hesitation.

Reacting quickly, Eren instinctively brought both his arms together, forming a defensive cross in a desperate attempt to shield himself from the attack.
