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

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: If fear was needed

Eren waited for her explanation, but looking at the surprised expressions of the other Spirits, he already had a rough understanding of the situation. It was clear that these people didn't know his identity yet.

It was because these people thought that he was an intruder. Because of a misunderstanding, three Spirit Warriors were dead.

He rubbed his forehead, sighing. The Spirit Realm belonged to him. And the death of three spirit warriors was a loss for him as they indirectly served him.

He walked towards the throne. The Spirit Warriors that were standing in his way stepped aside, still in shock.

They were inherently scared of the magic Eren used to kill the three spirit warriors in an instant, but more than that they were shocked that Felona called him the ruler of this realm.

She talked to him as if she was his Servant, which was hard to digest.

"Y-your Majesty, what is happening?" One of the guards gathered the courage to ask while Eren went past them.

He stepped before the throne. Ignoring everything that was happening, he sat on the throne as if it was natural for him. He came here to rest after all.

He closed his eyes and left Felona to explain. In this place, he could truly lower his guard and relax.

With the passive protection, as long as the Necromancer Tower didn't invade this world and came straight into the palace, no one could hurt him here.

It wasn't often that he could feel relaxed. Every time he had to be alert and cautious, not sure when something could go wrong for him to be hurt. But here, he was somewhat relaxed.

"What do you mean he is the Ruler? How can you make a weak human rule over us?" A General exclaimed, hearing Felona's explanation.

"Even if he saved us, so what? We could have paid him for that! But to surrender everything? Isn't that going too far?"

"If our departed ancestors were alive, they would have been disgusted at us for serving a human!"

Just as Felona had expected, the response wasn't good. Most of the Spirit Warriors were silent but there were a few who were too loud. They expressed their dissatisfaction openly.

Even though the Spirits were allowed to contract humans, it didn't mean they didn't look down on the humans anymore. Deeply rooted conviction was hard to change.

For them, humans were weak and pathetic. Even if one of them was somehow strong, could they really serve a lowly species? Just because he saved them, they couldn't give him everything.

Was serving him any different than surrendering to the invaders? Instead of letting one side of humanity gain control over their life, they handed it over to another side of humanity?

The majority of the Spirit Warriors were not saying anything at all, but that didn't mean that they agreed with the Spirit Queen. Dissatisfaction was also evident on their faces.

"Didn't you see how brutally he killed those three? Do you think he really cares about our life? I am sorry but I can't agree to serve the humans!"

This was the first time that the Spirits were going against the Spirit Queen words. At least this was the first time that this happened under Felona.

The only other time it happened was under a different spirit queen who was also in this hall. The last time it happened was also because of a human and the victim at that time was Yelen.

She looked at the Spirit Warriors expressing their disagreement with Felona. It reminded her of the past where she was at the receiving end.

"I thought they had changed, but some things never change," she mumbled, shaking her head in disappointment.

She knew that Felona did everything she could to protect them. She handed her own life to Eren, including the lives of her daughter.

If she wanted, she could have escaped alone by abandoning the Spirit Realm. Instead, she chose to surrender her life and everything she owned to Eren to protect her people.

Now those same people she protected were questioning her decision.

Eren was sitting on the throne, his eyes closed as if he was trying to rest. However, his fingers kept tapping on the armrest as he heard all the commotion taking place.

He slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the chaos in the hall.

"If you don't like the fact that she saved your life, you are welcome to return that life."

He released his Sword Emperor's Aura. At that moment, it was as if a true Emperor had descended on the place.

His control over the Sword Emperor's Aura had improved even more and he could target people as per his will. Only those he wanted could feel his aura while others remained free.

The Spirit Warriors that were talking against Felona, froze in place. Their bodies couldn't resist the Sword Emperor's Aura as they were forced down on their knees.

Eren's skill was supposed to be effective, but it was even more effective against the Spirits as he was the Ruler of this place. All his skills were many times more effective against the Spirits than they were supposed to be.

Blood trickled down from the eyes, ears and nose of the Spirit Warriors. They found it hard to breathe. The only people who weren't hurt were Felona and Yelen. Everyone else was on their knees.

Felona had tried to talk to them with compassion and calmness, but he knew that it was ineffective. If compassion and love worked on these spirits, then Yelen would never have been betrayed. The only thing that worked on them was fear.

As the Spirit Warriors were brave and fought till their death against the invaders, it wasn't easy to break their courage.

It was challenging and he didn't want to have to do this if possible, but with a situation like this, he accepted that challenge.

If fear was needed, he was willing to instill a fear that these people couldn't forget for as long as they lived.

He stood up and walked down the steps. Only the sound of his footsteps could be heard in the hall that had gone ghastly silent.
