My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Meeting on the wrong side
The phoenix flew inside the mountain range, but before she could cross the first mountain, Eren stopped her.
“This should be enough. From this point onwards, there will be a flying restriction,” he told the Phoenix, talking to her like a sentient being who could understand him.
The Phoenix could also feel danger as she was about to cross the first mountain in the range, but for Eren, she was willing to go through any danger.
“Are you concerned about me?” Eren asked, feeling a trace of her emotion. Although she couldn’t say anything; as her master, he was able to sense her feelings.
“I will be back before you even know it,” he said as he prepared to jump. “My life is the most precious thing. I won’t let anyone take it from me.”
He didn’t say anything else, not wanting to raise a death flag for himself.
“Don’t worry, little bird. I am with him. What could even go wrong?” Yelen chimed in, pretty confident in her abilities.
Even if she couldn’t defeat the opponent that took down an Overlord, she could at least protect Eren.
Even if the Portal of escape was unstable, it didn’t mean it was entirely impossible if she used her life to stabilize it.
Eren facepalmed himself, hearing her words. “And here comes the death flag.”
“Death flag? Is that some artifact of the Necromancer Tower?” Yelen asked, hearing the word for the guest time.
She looked all around, wondering why Eren said that the Death Flag came. Even as she observed her surroundings, she couldn’t find it.
“It’s nothing. Now that it came, I can only carry it.” Eren scratched the back of his head.
He sent the Phoenix back in his inventory, the safest place for her. After sending her back, he landed on the first mountain. From here on, he could only travel on foot.
He walked down the mountain, going towards the central mountain which was also the tallest mountain in the mountain range. Looking at the direction of the thread, he was sure that it was the destination.
“And here it comes…” As soon as he stepped forward, he entered the zone which was officially considered the mountain of loss that spread across ninety percent of this entire mountain range.
He could feel the natural laws of this mountain range that kept his body suppressed, making him unable to fly.
The loss of flight was one of the natural abilities of the mountain of loss, but it wasn’t the reason this mountain was considered a forbidden zone.
In this mountain, a person could lose all of his senses. It started with the loss of their sense of direction from the moment they stepped here.
All direction sensing treasures were useless in this mountain range, including the magical compass. If that was all there was to this mountain, Eren wouldn’t have cared.
He had the thread of Marriage, which was like a proper thread and not a directional treasure. It was like tying a thread in someone’s hand and letting them walk in the mountain. The thread couldn’t disappear.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t everything to this mountain. The longer one stayed in the mountain range, the more they were going to be affected by the loss. Every day that a person spent inside the mountain of loss, they were going to lose one of their senses temporarily.
After a week in this mountain range, one could neither see nor hear anything. It was akin to getting lost in the mountain range with nothing to help you. Even the sense of smell was lost within the week.
The order of loss was random for everyone. A person could lose their sense of sight after twenty four hours while another could lose their sense of smell only. However, after seven days, all were on the same ending point, with their seven senses gone.

“I need to find her, kill that bastard and leave this place within a few days. The longer I stay, the more disadvantage I will be at.”
Now that he was here, retreat wasn’t an option. No matter which Transmigrator it was, he had to kill it. If anything, saving the sect master was his secondary reason.
This time that person came for the Sect Master but what if the next time he came for him? The risk was too much.
The more time he was given, the more dangerous he could become. It was going to be even harder to find him if he failed now.
….
Eren had just entered the Mountain of Loss, one of the worst forbidden regions in the Eastern Continent. However, he wasn’t the only person here.
Amidst the corpses of the ones who died here through the centuries, two other people were still alive.
Atop the tallest mountain range, a young man was sitting with his back resting against a wall.
He was making strange gestures with his fingers, as if he was touching something in the air. Looking at his actions, many would have called him mad who had lost his mind.
“Here it is…” He tapped on something in the air, pulling out an item.
If Eren was here, he would have been surprised to see the item. It was an item that he would have easily recognisable as he craved to collect as many as he possibly could.
It was the question voucher, that was also the reward Eren had selected for his secondary path.
“Activate the toss system,” the young man said.
An illusory coin appeared in front of the man. However, the coin didn’t have only one face. It had four faces.
“Select the second face, attack it to the Question Voucher and toss it,” he said.
The four faced coin flew in the air, going thousands of feet high before falling to the ground in front of the man.
[You have failed. The preserve effect will not be applied on the Question Voucher]
[The Question Voucher has been activated without preservation effect. You will lose the question voucher once used]
“Fck!” The young man cursed. “If only I had the correct face, I would have been able to use the question voucher while still preserving it, just like last time.”
The Question Voucher was used, and a summoning invitation was sent to an unknown being.
Time appeared to have stopped as a low rise mist appeared in the surrounding area. Time seemed to have stopped for everyone in the world.
At least it stopped for the normal people. Not too far from the mountain, Eren was walking freely when he noticed that Yelen had stopped.
Celeste had also stopped moving, as if they had been paused in time.
“The author?” Eren frowned, looking in the direction of the highest peak.
