Chapter 412: Last wish
“And here I thought I was special.” Fey’s expressions were distraught, as he glared at Eren.
He had thought that he was special. He was the main character of this world who was
brought here from earth. He was a Transmigrator.
He never thought that there were more people like him, especially those who were being guided in a similar manner.
He finally understood why Eren had become an obstruction for him. Since all of them were in a race against each other, they couldn’t allow the other person to get ahead.
“I should have known.” He covered his face with his hands, looking at Eren through the gap between his fingers, his eyes being void of any compassion.
“If I hadn’t used the Glimpse of Death to see the scene of me dying in my room at your hands, I never would’ve known that such was the case.”
He felt quite frustrated. He had met the author many times, but that person never once hinted about there being more people like him.
If he wasn’t lucky enough to get the item called Glimpse of Death, he would have remained ignorant even in his death. Just thinking about the scene he saw through that item sent a chill down his spine. He was waiting in his room for Ruby, but it was Eren who came.
Before he could react, he was killed. There was no conversation between them, only a terrifying silence.
After he knew the future, he made every arrangement to change it. Instead of
waiting for Ruby in ignorance, he arranged the family heads to stay in his room to protect him and kill Eren.
“How many of you are there?” he asked Eren. “Just how many people came here from earth? Do they also know about me?”
He didn’t know anything about the other Transmigrators. Their existence alone was a threat for him.
Just one Transmigrator like Eren had
almost killed him if he wasn’t lucky. What about other Transmigrators? Just how dangerous were they for him?
Eren shrugged in response. Even he didn’t
know how many Transmigrators were in this world. All he knew was that he was the
only one in the Eastern Continent.
He had already come across four other
Transmigrators including Fey, which felt like all there was to it. However, he wasn’t certain if that was actually the case.
“Why don’t you ask the author? Even I want
the answer to that question,” Eren reminded Fey. “Since I am going to die in
any case, why don’t you let me die after
letting me know?”
Even though he wasn’t sure if Fey had any Question Voucher, it was still worth asking him. If Fey was the one who used the question voucher, he could get the answer for free, without feeling like he wasted an
opportunity.
“Master, he is suspicious! Even though he acts like he has surrendered to his fate, I don’t see any fear in his eyes. He might be planning something. Don’t listen to him!” One of the Family Heads intervened, feeling like Fey was seriously listening to Eren’s
suggestion.
“What can he do even if he is not scared?” Fey scoffed in response. “It’s just false
bravery.”
In his eyes, everyone here was insignificant. The family heads didn’t even
know who they were talking about. They were too unimportant for this conversation between two Transmigrators.
“When the author arrives, the entire world
will be frozen. Except me, no one else can move. Even if he wants to do something,
what can he do?” Fey didn’t take their
warnings seriously.
According to his knowledge, Eren couldn’t
change anything. As far as he knew, only he could move when the author arrived, as he was the summoner. At least that’s how
things had been in the past.
Eren could only move after the author left,
but at that time, the others could also
move.
“Although I hate you, I will be merciful as
we come from the same place. I will let you
die knowing. I will treat this as your last wish,” Fey proudly stated, bringing out the Question Voucher.
He then flipped the coin, using his ability on the Question Voucher. He didn’t hesitate to perform the skill in front of
Eren, as he was the only one who could use
it.
With the toss of the coin, his skill linked
with the Question Voucher. To his pleasant
surprise, he also succeeded as the coin
landed on the right face. The effect was successful.
“It seems I won’t have to waste the voucher
to get my answer. Not bad,” He smiled, casually activating the Question Voucher.
At that moment, the entire world was
frozen. The time itself had come to a halt. Even the Family Heads couldn’t resist the strike of time.
Even Eren froze, his lips still remaining
partly open. He looked like nothing more
than a statue. The only person who could still move was none other than Fey. “What do you want to ask?” A voice came
from behind Fey, belonging to the author. Fey slowly turned around, frowning. “You fool. Why did you not tell me that there were other Transmigrators here? Did you want me to die while remaining ignorant?” He didn’t even waste a single second,
letting out all his frustrations on the author.
“Hmm?” The author appeared slightly frustrated at being scolded but his pupils
trembled as he noticed what kind of situation this was.
“Hah, so that’s what it was.” He rubbed his forehead, shaking his head lightly.
Even though he was looking in the direction of Fey, the young man felt as if
the author was looking through him. To be specific, he was looking behind him. Even though Fey couldn’t see that person’s
face, he felt some semblance of pity in that person’s voice.
“That was truly devious of you. Making him
use his own treasures to…” the author said, not completing his sentence.
“Where are you looking?” Fey grew suspicious at the author’s reaction. Confused, he also looked back.
