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

Devourer was really putting on a great display of abilities.

Some of these abilities even made Eren jealous, especially the ability to create a puppet. If he could do something like that, it could really benefit him.

Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to take this ability. Devourer had been killed a long time ago.

Unless he could find Devourer\'s heart that was still kept in a perfect condition, taking these abilities was just a distant dream.

"Stay right here. I have cast a shield around you. As long as you don\'t move, no one will be able to locate you."

"Once I draw those bastards away and you think that it\'s safe, only then must you try to leave!"

"Once you successfully leave this place, you should go to the Southern Continent and join the Hero Academy. That ring will be enough to fool them into believing that you have a bloodline."

"As long as you can retrieve that thing, you will be able to remove that seal. I managed to find out that it\'s being kept in Mist\'s safe. If those bastards weren\'t on my tail, I would have retrieved it myself."

\'This... Why does it seem more complicated than I thought? What is with this plot? What happened to a servant helping a tormented heir escape? And what does my seal have to do with Mist?\'

Hearing Devourer\'s words, Eren felt like a lot of threads were tangling with each other. After much effort, he had managed to untangle a few, but it became even worse now.

Fortunately, he also managed to find out a few things with this conversation.

He learned the reason why the heir of Necromancer Tower managed to join the Mythical Hero Academy, even though he didn\'t have the bloodline.

He had faked the test, thanks to his ring. It was also because his ring gave him the ability to change faces, Mist thought he was the best person to be her spy.

"And lastly... Never! You must never step foot in the Eastern Continent! After you killed that Demoness Feng Yu\'s entire family, she had been looking for you like crazy."

\'I did what?!\' Eren\'s jaws almost dropped. If he was able to control this body in the memory, his reaction would have been enough to shock Devourer.

"As for the Western Continent-"

\'What? Don\'t tell me I did something in the Western Continent as well?! How the fu*k can I do anything that you blame me for? Are you sure it was me? I can\'t even jump off a freakin cliff!\'

Eren really wished that he could ask all these questions right now. Unfortunately, he could only watch the Devourer.

As long as the person whose memories he was observing didn\'t ask anything, he also could not get those answers.

He thought Devourer was going to tell him something about the Western Continent, but after speaking only a few words, Devourer paused.

He looked in the direction of the tower and in distant space simultaneously.

"Looks like I need to take my leave now. They have probably already located me. That freaking Astral guy is so annoying. I promise, I will kill him one day!"

Devourer placed the Puppet\'s body on his shoulders and started running away. Not long after, Eren also noticed multiple shadows following after Devourer.

Eren wanted to see more and understand what happened to Devourer. Was this the moment where the Four Overlords killed him, or did he survive and died later?

Unfortunately, it was impossible to find these answers. Only Devourer could tell him more, but he was already dead.

Eren wanted to watch more, but his surroundings started turning darker when Devourer disappeared in the distant horizon.

Cracks started appearing all around him, as if the world had started breaking apart.

In an instant, the world shattered into countless fragments, hurtling towards Eren with alarming speed.

One of these fragments struck him directly in the throat, causing a searing pain that mimicked the sensation of being stabbed.

As Eren\'s consciousness reawakened, he found himself gazing up at the familiar sight of the ceiling, signaling his return to reality.

His clothes were still covered in his own blood, but all his scars that he made while awakening the Sea Dragon Bloodline had healed.

It wasn\'t just the speed of healing that came with a healing pill.

It was even faster, which made him wonder if his new bloodline had a hand in it. Or did he sleep for weeks, instead of only a few hours as it looked like in the dream.

He stood up and took off his bloody shirt and robe and walked towards the window.

"Is it the same day?" he asked Celeste.

It wasn\'t just his wounds that had healed, but he was also feeling a lot refreshed.

Celeste nodded and confirmed that it was the same day. He hadn\'t slept for weeks.

He subconsciously rubbed the finger where the ring of Devourer was supposed to be. However it had done such a perfect job merging with him that even he couldn\'t feel it.

Only after he focused more on the ring and its form that he had seen in the memories, the ring came out of his skin and became visible.

"It was all real. Then Devourer\'s words were also real."

"So I really... killed Feng Yu\'s family. Does she know? What am I even thinking about? If she knew, I would have been dead already."

"Devourer\'s ring saved me. But how long can it save me? I have to become stronger, and in this journey, it\'s only a matter of time before I have to face her."

"Path of a Lover and Path of a Conqueror. I thought both these paths are connected. But there seems to be a high chance that I might have to select one of these when the time really comes…"
