Chapter 419: The Fateful
Fey didn’t know if he could have done anything to change his fate. Everything he did from the beginning… It all seemed like someone’s elaborate plane to lead him to this point.
Everything started to make sense as he was on his last breath. It all began when he asked the author about a shortcut of conquering this world with his abilities.
It was the author who guided him towards Feng Yu, giving him the method. It was that plan which led him to come across Eren.
Everything started from that moment onwards.
Was it just a coincidence? Or was that person intentionally leading him down this path? It was also him who guided him to target the Western Overlord next, which brought him to this part of the continent where he came across Eren again.
He didn’t know what was real and what was fake. Everything felt like an elaborate scheme. He was an expert in turning others into his puppet, but in this case, he had become a puppet himself.
“That fuc…” he weakly mumbled under his breath, being unclear who he was actually cursing. Fey died, unable to complete his sentence, in a territory that had indirectly belonged to him.
Eren confirmed that Fey had died, waiting for the announcement notification and experience points.
Only after he received the notification, he told Yelen to send the corpse to Fey’s mother.
He had killed the Transmigrator, leaving only a son that was meant to be buried by his mother. This time, he didn’t plan to break his promise.
Yelen opened another portal, taking Fey’s corpse with her. Only Eren was left behind,
holding a heart which was still tainted in blood.
Eren took a bite from the heart, as if it was
a forbidden fruit. He didn’t know if he could actually steal the ability of Fey in this method, as the ability might not actually rely on physique and Bloodline.
Soon, he finished eating the forbidden fruit and started waiting for any changes to take place. After a few minutes, he even opened his status screen to check the changes.
“There is nothing?”
Eren was in slight disbelief. He didn’t gain anything from Fey. The status screen was completely identical to the last time he had checked it, the only difference being that his level and stats were a little higher.
As he was still far from the next great wall, that small change was insignificant. What truly disappointed him was that he hadn’t even gained any new physique.
He still had the same Destiny Physique that
he had stolen from the Eastern Continent’s Main Character and the Lunar Physique stolen from the Frost Demon.
“Well, that was a big disappointment.” Eren closed the status screen, unable to hide his disappointment.
Fey had the ability that he wanted the
most. It wasn’t even the ability to enslave the others but the ability to use single use items multiple times. Unfortunately, on both fronts, he received disappointment.
The only positive outcome was that he had taken out the one Transmigrator that had escaped from him before.
“I have killed two of them. That means only three of them should be alive now. One is the Prophet in the Southern Continent. The second one is Aster, unless he was considered dead. That would still leave one unknown…”
He was quite curious as to where the third Transmigrator was hiding. With the Prophet and Aster, he knew about them. It was the unknown that was the most dangerous, especially since he hadn’t heard
about any new rising star in the other three continents.
“Is the last one also in the Northern
Continent?” He was lost in thought while
turning towards Ruby who was burying her
father.
“Hmm? Did something shine?” Abruptly, he stopped, feeling as if he had seen something shine just as he was about to
turn around.
He quickly looked back at the spot where
Fey’s corpse was previously lying. On the ground, he noticed a new item.
He grew confused at the sight of the small
coin. He was sure that there was no coin here when Fey’s body was taken away. How did this coin appear here?
There was no one here beside him. Moreover, the only thing that had changed
from the moment Fey was taken to now was that he had consumed the heart.
“Is this…” He appeared slightly hopeful as
he approached the ordinary looking coin on the ground.
He reached out his hand and touched the coin, instantly feeling a deep connection with it as soon as his fingers touched it.
It was clear that the coin wasn’t an ordinary item. He picked up the coin carefully and used Identification on it.
“Coin of the Fateful?” A smile spread across
his lips as soon as he went through the description of the coin.
All the previous disappointment had been washed away. He was also able to feel as if he could control the coin.
With a single thought, he was able to
transform the coin into a small dice with
six sides that granted it a unique ability. He once again brought the dice back to the
form of a coin which gave him a better chance of success.
He was quite pleased as he opened his
inventory to put the coin inside safely. Unfortunately, the coin refused to enter the inventory.
It turned into speck of light, flying straight
into his pocket while resisting the inventory.
At the same time, Eren appeared less
focused on the coin and more focused on
the inventory as he noticed a new item present inside.
In the corner of his inventory, he saw a question voucher. He was sure that he hadn’t been rewarded with one.
That could only mean that it belonged to Fey. After his death, his question voucher had been transferred to the person who
killed him, along with his most precious possession, which was the coin.
“That makes all this effort worthwhile.”
Eren didn’t even have time to celebrate
when he suddenly closed the inventory, noticing the aura of two powerful beasts approaching him..
