My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Two reasons to not kill

....

In the Sea Dragon Empire, the Empress was sitting on her throne.

Not far from her, her knights were aiming their weapons at an outsider who had arrived here alone.

The man was dressed in a black cloak that covered his entire body, only leaving his face visible.

There were some traces of dirt over his black cloak, but strangely enough, his pure white gloves were still spotlessly clean.

The Sea Dragon Empress looked at the man with narrow eyes. It was as if she was contemplating if she should even listen to the man or not.

"You are brave to come here alone after what Mist did to my people. Tell me one reason to not kill you right here and send your corpse back to her?"

She had lost her brother. In rage, she sent her Knights to the surface to find that person at any cost. They annihilated many cities in their path.

Her knights came from the Ocean of Blood and turned the surface into an ocean with the blood of the citizens that had nothing to do with her.

They even forced Mist to come out herself. They were simply going to demand her to hand over the culprit. But instead of listening to them, Mist started killing them.

Within a few minutes, Mist killed thousands of the Sea Dragon Knights, even after they transformed to their real form.

Only a few of the Knights managed to survive and escape into the Ocean, returning to the Sea Dragon Empire.

Even the Empress herself was wounded. Mist made the entire difference in that battle. She wasn't called an Overlord for nothing.

Even if the Royal Knights of the Sea Dragon Empire were comparable to SSS Rank Heroes or Great Elders in strength, but they couldn't even be placed in comparison with Mist or Feng Yu.

Even the Sea Dragon Empress was a little weaker than them.

The gap between a Great Elder and Feng Yu in strength, or the gap between a SSS Rank Hero and Mist was much larger than the gap in strength between a Royal Knight and the Sea Dragon Empress.

Even if she could fight Mist, but she knew that it was impossible for her to win that battle, at least not on the surface.

In the end, she could only swallow her anger and return to the ocean, fuming at her failure. Her brother was killed and she couldn't even have her revenge.

As if making a mockery of her, a person from the Southern Empire suddenly arrived at the Sea Dragon Empire. More importantly, that person wasn't an ordinary citizen of the continent either.

He was a member of the Mythical Hero Academy and worked as a Professor there.

"Tell me one reason to not kill you right here and send your corpse back to her?"

The young man, instead of being scared, smiled in response.

"How about I give you two reasons instead?"

The Empress narrowed her eyes but she didn't interrupt him. She was quite curious to see what gave this person such confidence. Did he really think she wasn't going to kill him?

"The first reason would be... The Heart of Celestial Dragon. I can help you find it," The nameless man said.

Sea Dragon Empress' expressions turned grim. In that moment, a terrifying killing intent filled the entire hall.

The Celestial Dragon was a god for the Sea Dragons. He wasn't just a god but also their ancestor.

When the Sea Dragon was alive, Dragons were considered a divine existence in this world. What was an Overlord? Just a weakling in front of the Celestial Dragon.

Not just the Celestial Dragon, but the other Dragons of that era were also very strong. They were much stronger when compared to the Dragons of today.

In that era, a single dragon could destroy an entire continent with no one to stop them. That's why humans were at their mercy. Humans made temples for them and also prayed to them.

Unfortunately, there came that unfortunate day when the Celestial Dragon was killed. It was the day when this beautiful blue ocean turned red and everything fell apart.

It was also the day when Dragons fell from grace. Not only did they lose their god, but they also lost their legacy.

The ocean where the Celestial Dragon's blood fell, every existence there was cursed. Even now, the Dragons were living under the same curse, unable to awaken their ancestral bloodline.

The only way to break the curse was to purify the ocean, which was easier said than done. This was the blood of the Celestial Dragon. No treasure could contain it.

The only thing that could contain this blood and the curse within was the heart of the existence who it belonged to in the first place.

Unfortunately, the day when Sea Dragon died, his body had also disappeared. Let alone finding the Sea Dragon's heart, they didn't even find the slightest trace of it.

For centuries, every successive ruler of the Sea Dragon Empire had been searching for the Celestial Dragon's corpse and the heart contained within.

Unfortunately, none had managed to find out. And now, there was a person who was claiming that he could help them find it? Even worse was that the man was not even a friend of the Dragons.

"How can you help us find it? You weren't even born when it disappeared."

The Sea Dragon Empress' voice wavered with doubt, yet deep within, a spark of hope flickered. She didn't want to believe the man, but at the same time, she wanted it to be true.

If the Dragons could remove their curse, they could reclaim their former glory.

"It is true that I wasn't born in that era," the nameless man replied with calm. "But I don't need to be born in that era to help you, do I?"

"This is why we are called Heroes. It doesn't matter how old we are or when we were born. All that matters is our bloodline and how we use it."

"I am sure you know it better than anyone since you faced Mist, who is much younger than you."

Hearing Mist's name, the Empress's face darkened even more.

"Even if I were to believe that you can help me," she countered, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "Why would you want to help us? We are enemies."
