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

Chapter 187: Chapter 187: New Identity

Even amongst the undead, Lich was a superior existence. It was said that a Lich could master any magic with ease, especially those related to death.

A lich was also the hardest to kill, as no matter how many times it was killed, it could always return to life. A lich was the hardest existence to kill, because it was a creature whose life was tied to another object.

As long as that object was not destroyed, a lich could not be killed. And mostly, that object was hidden safely, almost impossible to hide.

For a lich, exposing that object was like exposing his life. However, the lich in front of him had made the same mistake.

The object he needed to defeat the Spirits was his own life vessel. Before his death, it was the most precious object to him. But after his return from death, this object had become his life itself.

When the Lich came here, he only cared about destroying the Spirits. He didn't care about his life vessel, especially since he didn't believe that any Spirits could threaten him.

The moment the Jar flew off his hand, he felt fear for the first time. But it wasn't fear for his own death. It was the fear of dying before killing all Spirits.

He chased after the Jar with all his might, only to watch it be crushed by the person that had the same face as the woman he loved more than his life.

The moment the jar shattered, his body froze in place. He watched the pieces of the jar fall at the feet of the first spirit queen.

His strength left his body, and he felt the cold grip of death creeping up on him. Despite this, he struggled to focus on the woman who dared to wear the face of his lover.

With trembling hands, he reached for her throat, but his grip was weak. A single tear from the woman fell on the back of his hand.

"If I had known this would happen, I never would have entered your life..." the first spirit queen said, not even attempting to remove the Lich's hand.

It was because she entered his life that he had to go through all this. If she hadn't met him, or maintained her distance... If she hadn't gotten greedy, this would not have happened.

"You're not... I see..." the Lich murmured, falling silent.

He released her throat, his trembling fingers brushing against her cheeks.

"I... am... glad..."

His body began to disintegrate, turning into dust that drifted away on the wind, disappearing into the horizon.

....

The biggest threat to the Spirit Realm had died. The Spirit Essence had also returned to this world with the destruction of the Jar.

Spirit Queen Felona and the others also felt their strength returning. The magic circle that was cast by the Lich also started disappearing with no source left in existence.

The dark flames also dispersed, and the clear sky was again revealed.

All the Spirits and Warriors of the realm started cheering loudly, not realizing that the hero of this battle was in no mood to cheer herself.

The Spirit Queen watched the remnants of the Jar, lying at her feet. For quite some time, she didn't speak a single word.

Felona and the others did not interfere either. They just silently watched the woman, who was known to be their ancestor.

Even Eren did not interfere. It wasn't only because he wanted to give the first spirit queen some time to mourn. Instead, it was also because he had received something interesting.

He was more interested in the status screen.

[Your Guardian has killed a Lich]

******************************

He observed his status screen and noticed a few changes. The first and most obvious change was that his level and stats had increased.

Another significant change was that another identity had been added to him. Amongst his identities, now it also mentioned that he was the Ruler of Spirit Realm.

He hadn't received any new skills, but he received something more significant. He received a guardian which was also mentioned in his status screen.

This was the first time he had seen the name of the First Spirit Queen.

When Eren was dragged here forcefully, he thought he ended up in an unnecessary mess. But this place had only proven beneficial to him. The reward he received was incomparable to anything before.

Now, he was the Ruler of this entire place.

Just like the four Overlords and the Dragon Queen, he also had a force of his own. And to top it all off, the First Spirit Queen was his protector.

Still, there was one more thing that he needed before he could even think about returning. It was the thing for which he wanted to come here in the first place.

The main character had tried to kill him. With each passing moment, the Main Character was becoming an uncomfortable variable for him.

The moment he attempted to Poison him, Eren had made up his mind to kill him. The thing that he needed to make it possible was in the Spirit Realm.
