Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Reserved for Main Character
"Can you stop overthinking?" Eren told Yelen with his thoughts, her glare not being hidden from him.
Feng Yu finished getting dressed in the Wind Mage's clothes while Eren's wounds also healed. However, even the healing pill couldn't recover the life essence that was exhausted with the Talisman of Death.
Eren looked better, but he was still weak. He could easily remove his weakness using the Dragon Language to recover his life essence, but that wasn't the time yet.
He also removed the bloody clothes that were wrapped around his body, already stained with blood. He stood completely bare chested, his wounds seemingly recovered completely.
If there wasn't blood on his body, it would have been impossible to see if he was ever hurt in the first place.
"The effects of the pill are very good," Feng Yu told Eren, looking at him from top to bottom to see his condition.
"They are," Eren turned towards the source of the voice before answering.
With him feeling somewhat better, he asked her if they should leave, reminding her that the curse of the mountain was still in effect.
Feng Yu didn't say otherwise either. She agreed with him. Now that their first problem was solved, the second problem was about getting out of this place.
Still, that was easier said than done. If the only problem about the mountain of loss was the loss of senses, then it wouldn't have been called the Forbidden Land.
It was said that those who entered the Mountain of Loss couldn't return unless they were lucky, because the mountain blurred their sense of direction with quite a lot of illusions about the surroundings.
What looked like the exit of the mountain could very well be the route to going towards the depths of the mountain.
When Eren came here, he had the help of the thread to navigate. However, now both of them were here, so the thread couldn't guide them to the exit.
Even if they were lucky and they took the right way out, it was still going to take them two days to leave this place.
While Eren was thinking about the path toward the exit, he felt a soft yet cold hand grab on to his hand.
Holding his hand, Feng Yu started going down the mountain. Even though she didn't know the right way out, it was still better than doing nothing.
Moreover, she could feel that the cuffs on his hand were slowly getting weaker. At this rate, it was going to take seven days at most before she was free.
Even if she couldn't leave this place during that time, when she recovered her strength, she could definitely force her way out.
Eren didn't think that Feng Yu was going to find an exit successfully. She wasn't the Main Character of this world after all. Neither was he.
Still, it was better than waiting in this cold. Now that they didn't have to worry about food thanks to the ring, they could take the risk of searching for the exit. Or rather, he could simply follow her as he was supposed to be blind.
....
'Huh?' Eren stood blankly in disbelief.
Only half an hour had passed since they started going down the mountain, not even sure if they were going in the right direction.
That was when he stumbled once more, this time it truly being an accident as his feet struck some stone. Even he was stunned when he thought about what happened next.
A large scale formation appeared beneath their feet, as if he had accidentally activated some trap formation.
At the last moment, he tried to get out of the range of the formation with Feng Yu, but the formation was too fast. The light of the formation surrounded them.
He thought that the formation was at least going to hurt them seriously if not kill them entirely. However, the reality made him even more surprised.
When the light around him disappeared, he noticed that he was able to see again. All the curses from the Mountain of Loss had disappeared entirely. He had regained his senses.
Not just that, but he also saw that he was out of the Mountain of Loss, still holding Feng Yu's hand.
He looked back towards the mountain of loss in disbelief. He thought spatial talismans and formations couldn't be used in the Mountain of Loss. Even to summon Felona from the Spirit Realm was not easy, let alone connecting to the real world.
Despite that, the formation brought them to the exit. He had never heard there being any such formation in the mountain of loss. If he wanted to find it again, he was sure that he couldn't.
'Did I really get lucky?'
He didn't understand what just happened. He was sure that when it came to such things, his luck was very bad in the past. If it was like before, he might have accidentally ended up in some hell thanks to that formation.
On the contrary, he was brought out safely from the Mountain of Loss, instead of being forced to roam around for a week until Feng Yu recovered.
'Isn't that something like the lucky plot armor that's reserved for the Main Characters? But I'm not the main character, so why?'
Eren was quite confused, truly feeling like something was amiss. Was it just a coincidence that so many things happened right after he killed the Main Character of this World?
He was given the opportunity that allowed him to become a sect master, also getting an opportunity to get close to the Sect Master and then getting lucky and finding the exit.
If he hadn't known his own identity, he would have been sure that this was something that could only happen to the main characters, given the opportunity to save the beauty and getting lucky along the way.
'Is it because of the Destiny Physique that he stole from the main character of this continent?' he wondered as he called forth his phoenix.
"We are going back to the sect," he told Feng Yu as his phoenix landed in front of him, his eyes recovering to normal.
Now he could properly see her without having to rely on his senses.
"Take this first," Feng Yu told Eren, tossing something at him. Only after that, she climbed on his Phoenix.
"This..." Eren looked at the thing he was given, frowning. "Why is this…"
