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

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Eren's greed

"Mother, mother, mother," he chanted mockingly, dark flames flickering within his empty eye sockets. "How amusing... Even spirits cling to the same emotions and futile relationships that humans do.'

His cold fingers brushed against Estelina's face, as if he was appreciating a precious material.

"You don't know that in the beautiful embrace of death, there is no place of such weakness."

Estelina's face twisted in anger. She created a spear of pure spirit essence and launched it at the Necromancer without hesitation.

However, just before the spear could impale him, he vanished, leaving behind a swirl of dark energy. Instead, her spear struck another spirit in his place.

"Kekeke, you're going to have to try harder than that, daughter of Spirit Queen," his voice echoed from all directions.

Above, Eren watched the unfolding chaos. He could see a lot of things that others hadn't noticed because of the commotion.

Firstly, the Necromancer appeared like he was simply toying with them, but that wasn't the case entirely. He was able to avoid all attacks by replacing his place with someone nearby.

Under normal conditions, Eren would not have noticed how that worked and the flaws within his skill. But as an observer, he was able to see some trails.

He thought that the Spirits were strong, but they were definitely having a hard time against the Necromancer, especially since the Spirit Queen was distracted by the spell, trying to protect her people.

Although this was his first time actually coming across a Necromancer, he was able to see why the world was so scared of the Necromancer Tower.

"So far, the Tower Master hasn't revealed himself. If I'm not wrong, he didn't come here. With the kind of strength this one person possesses, it would make sense for him to come here alone."

"That seems to satisfy the initial conditions. In that case, should I also start preparing?" he thought out loud while opening his inventory amidst the sound of explosions.

"Let's see how useful this thing can get."

He brought only one thing from his inventory. It was a modern looking handgun that had been modified to use Mana Bullets.

It was no ordinary gun anymore but a proper artifact, given to him by the system. He wanted to test the strength of this gun, but he didn't get a proper opportunity to test it.

He didn't know how strong a bullet created from his mana was going to be, as it depended on the purity and density of the holder's mana.

Even if it wasn't strong enough, he had a good use for it, especially against the Necromancer who had revealed quite a few flaws during his toying session.

In his right hand, he had the Mana Gun, and in his left, he held the sword he had taken from Asura Sect Master's inventory. At the moment, this was the best sword he had.

Normally, an Elder was supposed to select one weapon from the Sect's treasury when they joined the sect, and when that person died, the weapon was said to return to the treasury.

However, Ren joined the sect before Eren had come into this world.

He didn't know what Ren had selected, as he couldn't find any proper weapon anywhere in his house. He had even asked Xiu Ying if she remembered what he had selected, but even she didn't know.

According to her, even the Sect Master didn't know what one selected inside the treasury, nor did she know everything that was kept inside the treasury.

The Sect treasury had been inherited from the previous generation and it had been passed on from one generation to the other.

It was filled with a powerful restriction that made it impossible for anyone to see what happened within it.

It also made it impossible for anyone to take more than one thing, that's why there was no checking done to make sure someone didn't take more than one.

Normally, those who received a good weapon bragged about it, which was the only way for others to know what one received. There was no such thing in Ren's case.

Eren was really curious if Ren had even selected anything in the first place. And if he did, what was it and where did it even go?

Did it return to the treasury, considering Ren to be dead with his arrival? He wasn't certain. He just knew that he had to arrange for his weapons himself.

Estelina and Resphi were fighting the Necromancer, who was simply toying with them.

Both of them knew that it was almost impossible for them to win against this person. They were just waiting for the Royal Guards to arrive from the higher islands.

Looking at the battle, it was normal for people to lose morale. But Eren simply looked at the Necromancer with greed in his eyes.

"I wonder how many levels I would gain if I kill him. As for his heart..." Slowly, a smile crept up the corner of his lips.

A skeleton wasn't supposed to have a heart, but it was a Necromancer who could conjure powerful spells.

It was impossible for him to not have a heart. And if he had a heart, it meant Eren could steal his skills with Devourer Skills.

"I hope he won't disappoint me."

....

As the flaming storm intensified, Spirit Queen Felona used an immense amount of her Spirit Essence to contain it.

It was said that protecting someone was often harder than killing someone, and this held true for the Spirit Queen.

"Hmm? It seems the last condition might not be as easy to satisfy as I thought. Did I underestimate Felona?"

High in the sky, Eren sighed to see Felona doing better than he had thought.

He had been prepared to intervene, but he could see that it wasn't the right time yet. They weren't desperate enough. Their hopes weren't crushed yet.

"It's only a matter of time though," Eren focused on the Necromancer, who appeared to be getting serious, especially now that the Royal Spirit Warriors had started arriving in the number of thousands.

"Kek, this is better. I shall end this once and for all," the Necromancer laughed as he opened a spatial portal as well.
