My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Knife to aim
Eren looked at the four options, three of which were about killing Li Yunfeng.
Although he had messed a little with the Frost Demon, he hadn’t thought about killing him. He had nothing to do with him.
The only reason he even got involved with him was because he was the master of the Main Character, which shouldn’t have been the case as per the original story.
As for the fourth and the last option, it was about killing one of the four Overlords. It asked him to kill the Saintess of the Western Empire, who was none other than the Holy Priestess.
He didn’t know how strong that woman actually was. But as she was able to stand against the Necromancer Tower Master on her own, it was enough to prove how dangerous she could actually be.
‘First Clearance Reward.’
He also couldn’t take his eyes off the fourth reward.
There were only two rewards that made him interested. One was the pendant series reward, which required him to kill Li Yunfeng before they had to leave.
The risks associated with it were also high. If Li Yunfeng went missing from the sect before their trip, it could spiral into a much larger problem.
It was much easier to kill him in the Western Continent, making him disappear forever.
He had experienced the might of the pendant series reward, and he had been looking forward to receiving the next one in the first place.
Unfortunately, now that it finally came, he still couldn’t make up his mind, thanks to another option.
The fourth reward which came with killing the Holy Priestess was something that caught his attention, especially due to the terminology it used.
The First Clearance Reward made him think of the games, where the player who first achieved the milestone was rewarded.
For him, the choice came down between the Pendant of Prediction and the First Clearance Reward.
“Can’t you give me more hints?” he asked the system while the Librarian left to bring the books related to the Western Continent.
To his question, there was absolutely no answer.
Feeling a headache, he stood with his back resting against the shelves, lost in thought. Even with the help of Yelen, it wasn’t easy to kill the Holy Priestess who could use the powers of a goddess.
It was even said that everything that happened in the Western Continent could be seen by the Saintess, especially if it had something to do with her.
He didn’t quite believe that rumor as someone had already managed to steal something from the Holy Priestess.
The Overlord Killing Weapon that the Saintess was trying to complete was stolen. If she could see everything as it was rumored, stealing from her would have been impossible.
‘Even if the rumor is true, there must be limitations to it,’ he thought.
In the back of his mind, he did tilt a little towards the last option. Although it was dangerous, he could inherently feel that this was something that had to be done sooner or later.
‘But if the Saintess is dead, then the Necromancer Tower might start spreading in the Western Continent. Do I really want them to have more power?’

If it was just about killing, he would have already selected the last option. Although dangerous, it was something that he had to do eventually. But he also couldn’t ignore the consequences.
The Necromancer Tower was a bigger threat for now.
“I can’t have her die yet. She is the knife that I need to be aimed at the Necromancer Tower.”
He made up his mind. He didn’t want to get his system stuck again. For now, he had to select the option that he could finish the fastest.
As for the option related to the Holy Priestess, he could only hope that he would get a similar option when he actually entered the Western Continent.
He raised his finger, and pressed on an option.
[You have selected the first option]
[Please kill Li Yunfeng before the day of departure]
Although Eren didn’t know why Li Yunfeng had to be killed, if he didn’t want to get his system stuck for a long time, it had to be done.
Selection the fourth option was a long term commitment after all.
He also didn’t want to miss another Pendant Series reward.
The screen disappeared after he selected an option, making Eren wonder when the next time he was going to see that familiar screen.
He waited for the Librarian to return with the Books related to the Western Continent.
“Can I take them with me?” he asked, looking at the tower of books that she was carrying. There were around twenty books in her hand, stacked on top of each other.
“I’m afraid that’s impossible. As an Elder, you are only to read them here,” the librarian told Eren while pointing him towards the section where tables and chairs were arranged for Elders to read.
Although he didn’t like it, there was nothing he could do about it. If anything, this was for the best.
He knew how easily he was distracted when he was outside. He still hadn’t gotten to testing the gun he had receiving as he kept forgetting about it until an opportunity arrived in the Spirit Realm.
Even then, Yelen came and took away the need.
He went towards the reading section and placed the books on the table.
To maintain that an Elder had absolute peace of mind, there were even formations around the table that created curtains that not only hid the person inside but also made it impossible for outside noise to travel through.
Even the Librarian wasn’t allowed to check through the curtains so as to not disturb the Elder.
“Yelen, can you create a portal for me to leave this library if I give you the coordinates?” Eren asked Yelen while sitting on the chair.
“It should be possible. I just need to connect the portal to the Spirit Realm and then to the new destination in the human realm,” Yelen affirmed while also growing curious as to where he wanted to go.
Moreover, why did he need to use the portal? Couldn’t he just leave the library in a normal manner? Unless he wanted to make sure that everyone thought that he was still in the library?
