My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 229: Chapter 229: You might need it
Eren could see that it wasn’t just Yelen or Celeste who had stopped. The winds were also stopped abruptly.
The dry leaves from the tree that were falling towards the ground were levitating mid air now. The world itself had come to a halt.
There were only two times he had seen a phenomenon like this, and both times, it was because of the arrival of the author.
He observed his surroundings, but the author didn’t make an appearance.
“I see… So he isn’t here for me.” Eren gazed towards the distant peak, where the thread was leading him.
He had already expected a possibility of this happening, but this time, he was able to confirm it. He wasn’t the only person who had received question vouchers and the meeting opportunity. He was only the first one.
There was still something that didn’t make sense for him though. Why was he able to move if the author didn’t come for him? Was it because he was a transmigrator?
“If that’s the case, Aster should have been able to move as well.”
He remembered the second time he had called forth the Author, right when Aster had found him. At that time, even Aster was stuck in time, unable to move.
“Why am I free of his restrictions?” He wondered.
He turned to Yelen and picked her up in his arms. He couldn’t waste time here. Carrying Yelen, he continued on his journey towards the distant peak.
….
“It seems you have succeeded…” A mysterious being appeared atop the mountain, his face being impossible to see.
He gazed at the young man who was holding onto the question voucher. The young man was yet to use the forceful question effect of the question voucher.
The unknown being turned to the other side and saw a young woman, seemingly in deep sleep. Her hands were tied behind her back using handcuffs that looked similar to the ones used on earth.
“Did you think I would fail?” The young man scoffed in response. “This is just the beginning.”
“Interesting…” The mysterious being turned back to the young man, who appeared as if he had a clear goal.
“Most people who meet me ask me about the reason they were brought to this world, or about the mysteries of this world. But you asked me a very interesting question…”
The mysterious being waved his hand, making a throne appear behind him. Like a divine being, he sat on the throne in front of the mortal who had summoned him.
“Why would I care about the mysteries of this world? With the system I have, I only need to conquer this world,” the young man said. “Did you think I would be asking you how to return to that godforsaken world and abandon this exciting life,”
“That is an interesting approach indeed. Is that why you used the question voucher to force me to tell you how to defeat an Overlord without getting hurt?” The unknown being smirked, finding the young man mildly interesting.
His approach was entirely different from Eren, but that was also because of the system he had. While Eren only wanted to survive in this world at first, this man had much bigger ambitions. Ꮇ√ԼЕМƤΥƦ.ϹОᎷ
He didn’t ask him for methods to return to this world, or if there were other people like him in this world. He didn’t even ask him about the reasons he was brought here.
He directly used a question voucher to ask a simple question that even he hadn’t expected.
The unknown being knew a lot of secrets of this World, so it wasn’t hard for him to tell the young man a few tips and tricks to defeat an Overlord without getting hurt.
“That’s correct. My system allows me to turn anyone into my slave with enough time. With four Overlords as my slave, why would I need to know about anything else?” the young man asked, his intention being clear.
He didn’t mind taking a shortcut. He didn’t mind being weaker or ignorant about this world. With the help of his system, he could rise to the top instantly.
“Is that so…” the Unknown Being smirked, gazing in a particular direction, as if being able to sense someone.
“Do you remember my advice before I disappeared last time?” he asked.
“Of course I do. You said that after you told me how to use Feng Yu’s desire to find her father’s killer against her and sneakily defeat her. You said that although I can defeat Feng Yu, but I shouldn’t try to do it if I care about my safety.”
“Honestly, did you think that scaremongering would work on me? You were just worried that within a few months, I would become the absolute ruler of this world!”
He didn’t take his warnings seriously, as if already realizing that the man wasn’t a friend.
He believed that the man just wanted him to be weak so he could be manipulated easier. But now, he was able to achieve everything in a single step.
“It that’s what you believe.” The mysterious being didn’t say anything else. The man had already gone ahead and done it. Whatever happened next had nothing to do with him.
“That’s enough nonsense. I didn’t call you here to reminisce about the past,” the young man calmly said. He activated the forced question effect of the question voucher.
“My question is still the same. Tell me how to defeat the next Overlord without getting hurt!” he commanded.
The question voucher disappeared into thin air, as the effects were applied to the unknown being. Being forced by the effect, he couldn’t resist the answer.
“The next Overlord you can defeat is the Holy Priestess. As for the method to defeat her without getting hurt, all you have to do is…”
“…”
The mysterious being told the young man the answer that he was looking for. With that, the purpose of his arrival was completed and he was freed of the effect.
He stood up, preparing to return. Slowly, his body started disappearing. Just like before, he left one last sentence before disappearing.
“It seems no one can change fate. I still wish you best of luck… You might need it.”
His figure completely disappeared, leaving the young man confused. What did he mean by that? He didn’t understand.
