My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 445 - : The Arrival of Darkness

....

"Are we really leaving just like that?"

Ruby and Eren were standing on the balcony of the Greyndor Family Mansion, looking at the setting sun in the distance.

"Why? Did you like their hospitality that much? Are you planning to live here?" Eren asked Ruby, who shook her head like a broken doll.

As per the Left Guardian's instructions, they had accompanied Anya to the Greyndor Family Territory. However, that's as far as things went.

Anya didn't take them with her as she went out to conquer other families. Instead, she left them behind in the Greyndor Family Estate, being treated as guests. She didn't want to carry these burdens, even though her master had asked her to.

That was exactly what Eren wanted in the first place. He had already known what kind of person Anya was. There was no way she was going to babysit them.

Just to make sure that was the case, he had annoyed her throughout the time he had been with her. There were even times when she was so irritated by Eren's constant babbling that she wanted to kill him, barely controlling her anger.

"The Left Guardian will take care of the annoying things related to the Tower. There are other important places I have to be at," Eren told Ruby, already prepared to leave.

He only had three weeks to gather as much strength as he could. He had to enter Hell, and he needed strength for that. He couldn't gather that strength in the Necromancer Tower.

He could leave Ruby behind as this place was safe, but it was much better to take her with him. The other Continents were much safer for her after all.

He had promised her that he was going to protect her father. He failed that promise. The least he could do was leave her in another continent where she could be safer. The Demon Sect was the perfect place for that.

"Can we even leave without being detected by the Greyndor Family?" Ruby asked Eren, only to shake her head in embarrassment. She had completely forgotten what kind of existence Eren was.

Even the Left Guardian couldn't suppress him, then what was the Greyndor Family.

"Yelen, did you bring the Pegasus to the location?" Eren asked, ignoring the silly question from Ruby.

Once he received Yelen's confirmation, he reached out his hand to grab Ruby's hand. However, just as he was about to jump off the balcony, he abruptly grabbed his chest.

He lost his balance, almost falling off the balcony. If it wasn't for Ruby who held him back, he actually would've fallen.

"What happened?" Ruby held him, trying to make him sit down, growing absolutely worried at the sight of Eren's pale face.

"She is gone!" Eren mumbled, unable to control his racing heart.

He was connected to Kelia. He even left behind a trace of his essence in her mind to destroy her soul and memories the moment someone tried to invade her mind.

He could feel everything she felt the moment she died. It was a fear that rose straight from Kelia's heart, reaching Eren. It was as if even in her death, she was telling Eren to run away as far as he could.

It was a monster that couldn't be defeated. A monster that could destroy everything in its path. Even his essence was barely able to destroy her soul under the control of that being, which brought such a heavy backlash to him.

"We need to get out of here fast!" Eren exclaimed as he stood up, his heart still unable to calm down.

He couldn't run with a burden like Ruby. He called Yelen, making her create a portal.

Through the Portal, he sent Ruby to the Eastern Continent with his elder token. With this token, Ruby could enter the Demon Sect as a disciple and be protected by the sect.

Personally, he avoided the portal. For him, using a portal was no different than entering the mouth of a lion to avoid a tiger.

He didn't even know how many times he could survive traveling through portals. For now, he jumped down the balcony and started flying away.

He used stealth to leave the Greyndor Family Territory as fast as possible, trying to reach the Pegasus that was waiting for him.

Along the way, he was constantly looking over his shoulder to see if he was being chased, but fortunately, no one was on his trail.

He soon reached the Pegasus. He placed a healing pill in his mouth before climbing on the Pegasus.

The Pegasus spread its wings wide, rising in the sky. However, it was only halfway in the sky when an aura blade came from the distance, slicing through the wings of the Pegasus.

The Pegasus lost its balance and started falling from the sky.

Eren jumped off the Pegasus, landing in the distance safely. Unfortunately, the same didn't be said for the Pegasus which fell on the ground with a thud, its painful cries being loud.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We don't even get to show our hospitality yet." A voice came, but it was impossible to locate its source. It was as if the voice was coming from every direction.

Eren could also feel the temperature of the surroundings rising extremely fast.

The sky was already dark with only the moon brightening up the surroundings. Unfortunately, the moon was also hidden behind the darkness as an unknown domain appeared around the place.

It was as if a black flame had covered the entire sky in an instant, devouring everything in its path.

"You must be the one they call Guide. Are you really trying to act cool with such a display?" Eren asked out loud. "It would've been more effective if you weren't hiding. Don't you think so?"

As he finished speaking, he conjured a dagger with the holy essence. He tossed the dagger in a very specific direction on his left.

A hand came out of the darkness, grabbing the dagger which was made of the Holy Essence.
