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

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: A Threat or a Question



"I told you what you must do. I don\'t have any more words for you."

Distant echoes of footsteps resounded in the dark space, making it feel like someone was walking away.

A distant voice whispered, "I hope you won\'t overestimate yourself. Don\'t make a mess this time..."

"Hmph, I will decide what I do myself."

A soft light flickered in the dark space while a portal appeared in the middle of the hall.

Under the light coming from the portal, the face of the person was revealed, creating a horrifying sight. The man did not have skin on his face.

All he had was a skill with a little lump of charred flesh slowly regenerating and getting destroyed at the same time. It was as if his skin was regenerating and getting destroyed simultaneously, creating a ghastly sight.

"The Tower Master is not here to command me otherwise. I might as well..." A cold cackle resounded in the hall as the man entered the portal.

With the portal\'s disappearance, the hall returned to the darkness again.

....

The Phoenix landed in the center of the city.

Eren jumped down from the back of the Phoenix and landed before the small portal that looked just big enough for one person to enter.

"Is this the doorway to the Royal City?" he asked Estelina.

The portal looked similar to the one that brought him to this world. He could feel that it wasn\'t stable enough for his Phoenix. Not only was she large, but she was also a divine beast.

If she again suffered in the same manner during the transit, then she might actually attack the Royal City when they left the portal.

"Did you think I brought you to this portal for sight seeing or something?" Estelina sarcastically asked.

As Eren was observing the Portal to see if it was safe for his Phoenix, he noticed the Spirit Warriors gathered around him. They all had a weapon in their hands as if they were prepared to attack him.

"May I ask what they are doing?" he asked Estelina. "Are you truly trying to kill me?"

"Why would I kill the gift I brought for my mother\'s research?" Estelina asked, but she didn\'t deny either.

She herself had commanded the Spirit Guards to gather and be prepared for a battle.

\'Is she really trying to make me select the first option? If I fight and kill them, the second option will become impossible. Why would the Spirit Queen fall for someone who killed her people?\'

Eren didn\'t respond. He just observed the Spirit Guards around him that were gathered in large numbers. Even Ley was amongst them.

Although they looked prepared, none of them were attacking him.

\'Is this for intimidation in that case?\' he wondered.

He was brought here after being kidnapped. Even if he wanted to believe that he was a guest, he could see that he was more of a prisoner here instead.

Despite that, he hadn\'t been behaving like a prisoner. He was doing as he pleased, even playing with Estelina.

This was her way of reminding him that she wasn\'t alone here. This was her way of making him know that if she wanted, he could be killed right here and right now.

"I have a question..." Eren stated after a brief period of silence.

"What question?" Estelina smirked.

Seeing Eren so serious, she was clear that he had received the message clearly. It was about time for him to start behaving.

Eren sighed and walked to his Phoenix. He placed his hand on the mythical beast\'s head, rubbing it lightly.

"Pray tell, what would happen to your Royal City if I kill everyone here and the Intruders just happened to attack right after that?"

The Phoenix disappeared into thin air, sent back to his inventory.

"You... Are you threatening us?" Estelina\'s face darkened. Even in this situation, this man was still so arrogant? Did he not understand the kind of situation he was in?

"Who am I to threaten you? I was just asking an honest question," Eren answered calmly, but at the same time, he again released his Sword Emperor\'s Aura.

It was clear that his words and his actions didn\'t match. He was openly challenging them. It was as if he was asking them to attack him if they wanted to find the answer to his question.

Estelina was certain that Eren couldn\'t take all of them down. How could a man do that? He wasn\'t an Overlord! But even then, something about his aura made her hesitant.

What if it was possible? What if he was somehow able to kill everyone here? Even if he couldn\'t kill everyone here, what if he still hurt the people here, making them incapable of protecting against the next invasion.

If the Border City wasn\'t able to stop the Intruders, then the Royal City was next.

If the invaders reached the Royal City, she could only imagine the kind of damage they could cause. Was it really worth it to fight this man here?

"What a pity... It seems we will never know this answer." Eren calmly answered as he took a step inside the portal, keeping his hands behind him.

"This man... Fine! Keep that arrogance! The more arrogant you are, the more fun your downfall will be!" Estelina clenched her teeth as she followed after the man.

"That person..." Ley watched silently. "Saintess, just what kind of a monster are you bringing inside the Royal Capital?"

"I hope I\'m just overthinking... But that aura... Why does it..." He stared at the portal with a grim expression.

....

When he first came into this world through the portal, it was more painful and appeared to take an eternity. But this time, before Eren could even blink, he found himself on the other side of the portal.

It was as if he had not walked through a portal but through an ordinary door.

"This is the City of Royal Spirits?"
