My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 217: Chapter 217: To protect Felona?
The Spirit Warriors struggled to even raise their heads under this pressure. It was as if something within their bodies was forcing them to not resist this pressure.
They felt helpless as if they were just the puppets of this person. There were also a few who forced their bodies beyond limits to try and stand up but they also failed.
All the Spirit Warriors could see with their head down were the feet of Eren.
“You said I don’t care about your lives. You’re right, I don’t. As I’m a person like that, do you think I would care if I kill all of you here?” he asked, his eyes looking down on the person who was talking the most.
Looking at his cold eyes, the Spirit Warrior felt as if he was being stared at by a demon.
He wasn’t scared even when he faced the Necromancer, but when he looked in Eren’s eyes, there was fear that came from the depths of his heart. His hands had started trembling beyond his control.
“Those who don’t like serving me… Those who are too proud… They can tell me right now. Let me free you from this misery.”
The body of the Spirit Warrior trembled as he watched a Sword appear in Eren’s hand. He didn’t aim the sword at anyone, but his meaning was clear.
The Spirit Warriors had only two choices. They could follow his will, or they could accept death right now.
Some of the Spirit Warriors who were more willing to die than to serve a human were now frozen in place, unable to even raise a finger. All their courage had disappeared at the sight of the looming death.
“No one?” Eren asked, seeing that no one was willing to oppose him here. “How disappointing…”
He turned around, intentionally revealing his back to the Spirit Warriors. He also retracted his aura, as if giving them another opportunity to make a choice for themselves.
With his passive protection, he didn’t have to worry about being stabbed in the back, but it was still a good test to weed out the potential threats.
The Spirit Warriors sighed in relief as the pressure was removed. They were finally able to move their bodies, but the fear that they had felt in their soul was still present firmly in their heart.
It was as if that fear had become a part of them. They didn’t even think about attacking Eren, finally understanding why Felona agreed to surrender to this person.
He was even more scary than the Necromancer who had almost wiped the city clean.
Eren returned to the throne and sat down like a King. The spirit warriors still remained on their knees even though they could stand up now.
For quite some time, there was absolute silence in the place as even Felona didn’t say anything. She just watched Eren who was sitting with his eyes closed.
Felona was quite curious about Eren, the person who was served by the first spirit queen. He had solved this situation in a manner that she hadn’t thought about.
She thought he was going to kill a few, but he didn’t even harm a single person but still managed to subdue them all. МѴᏞЕϺҎႸᏒ.ϲОМ
She realized that he acted ruthless, but in reality, he was very considerate.
He didn’t just subdue the people to prevent them from talking against him. If he just wanted that, he could have commanded her to do it instead. Why did he do it himself? The answer was clear.
‘He did it for me…’ she thought, lowering her head as her mind was filled with various thoughts.
She realized that Eren noticed that she was becoming the villain for her people. It didn’t affect him and he could have let her use force but he did it himself. Because he wanted to protect her.
If he wanted her subordinates to not think of her as an enemy, they needed to find another villain for them to blame. Eren took that role to protect Felona. Or at least that’s what she thought.
She looked at Eren’s face. He was sitting on the throne, his eyes closed as if he was trying to rest. As she thought about how he tried to protect her, she felt something in her heart, a strange feeling.
Yelen also watched Eren’s face silently. She was very disappointed at the actions of the Spirit Warriors. Once again they were willing to go against their Queen. It was as if the past was repeating itself.
She wondered if she had been as ruthless as Eren, would she have managed to change her past as well? She didn’t realize but she started thinking even higher of Eren.
Over ten minutes passed but no one in the hall moved even an inch. It was only when Eren opened his eyes that the Spirit Warriors flinched in fear.
“I have rested enough. It’s time to return.”
He stood up and told Yelen that he was prepared to take the second portal back to the library.
Yelen created a portal next to the throne for him to leave, connecting it to the spirit mark she had left in the exact part of the library from where they had left.
As only a small part was covered by the curtain of the table in the library, she couldn’t afford to connect to the wrong location even if it’s by a few meters.
Felona approached him with some hesitation as she watched the portal open.
“Are you leaving?” she asked him just as he was about to enter.
Eren glanced back at her face which appeared to have some hesitation.
“Why? Do you not want me to leave?” he asked, slightly intrigued. Shouldn’t she be happy that he was leaving? She could run the spirit realm as she pleased in his absence.
So why did she appear hesitant?
He thought Felona was going to outright deny, but to his surprise he was silent. It was as if she was agreeing to his words but couldn’t get her to say it herself.
