My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 659: Who told you?
"This should be the place." Eren stopped before a golden door, which was marked with a mysterious formation. He was holding onto a guard, who was still alive, yet unable to retaliate.
"I suppose this is the formation I've heard so much about? If someone tried to open this door forcefully, the formation would obliterate them, wouldn't it?" he asked the guard, who trembled in disbelief.
The guard had thought Eren was just a thief who would be killed the moment he tried to open the door. He hadn't expected this man to know so much about the formation.
"That's right. There's no way for you to enter. You'd better give up," the guard said weakly. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"Who says I have no way to enter?" Eren smiled in response, tightening his grip on the guard's neck.
He took a step back and prepared himself. All his strength was concentrated in his arm, and he even used the Dragon Tongue. The target of his spell wasn't himself, but the person in his arms.
"I will definitely enter. And you will be helping me." He strengthened the guard's body as much as possible, and once he was ready, he tossed him at the door.
The impact of the crash was so strong that it made the entire ship tremble. The formation retaliated, but its target was none other than the guard who was slammed against the door.
"Argh!" The guard roared at the top of his lungs, his voice soon growing hoarse before he eventually lost his life. He was soon turned to ashes.
"Just as I expected, this much wasn't enough to break the door." Eren mumbled, but he didn't look disappointed at his failure, as he had still achieved his purpose.
The impact had caused at least a small crack on the door. It was also heard inside the room, where the Demigod was staying.
Even if he couldn't enter the room, he still had another solution. He just had to make the person within the room open the door for him.
The powerful disturbance was felt across the entire floor on the ship and beyond. Even the treasure room that was isolated wasn't different.
The Demigod inside the room slowly opened his eyes. For this level of disturbance to originate so close to this place made him worry about the safety of the ones outside.
If the enemy had managed to come this far, then what happened to the ones outside? What about the Merchant Union Heiress?
Even though he was strictly told to stay within the treasure room and not to open the door on his own, but he still couldn't control his unease.
Even if he protected all the treasures, if the girl was killed, then he couldn't offer any justification to the Merchant Union Leader.
A demigod might be a powerful existence, but in front of the might of the Merchant Union, a mere demigod was nothing.
He stood up, and made up his mind to check up on the safety of the Princess. He was confident in his strength. Even if he opened the door, he believed that he could stop the enemy.
If it was an enemy that even he couldn't stop, then it could only be a monstrosity that was stronger than a Demigod. If that was the case, then the destruction of the door was only a matter of time. In any case, there was no point for him to stay behind.
He touched the door, and opened it from inside. The formation didn't target him, and the door was easily opened.
As the cracks between the doors grew wider, he expected to see the enemy outside. But there was no one here.
"Hmm?" He frowned, stepping within the hallway. He looked everywhere, but there was no enemy there.
He was expecting to face a strong enemy that had killed his way through to get to this place. He didn't think that the enemy would be cowardly enough to run away. So where did he go?
"Behind me!" He suddenly exclaimed, feeling a terrifying presence behind him. He quickly turned around and swung his sword.
Unfortunately, his face grew pale as he turned around. He quickly stopped his sword amidst the attack, even suffering a backlash in the process.
He coughed a mouthful of blood due to the backlash. His sword stopped merely a few inches away from the throat of the person behind him.
To his disbelief, the person wasn't an enemy. It was the heir of the Merchant Union. After hearing the commotion, she had rushed down with all her guards, only to find the demigod that they had hired suddenly attack him.
"Did you hurt them?" she asked the demigod, pointing at the corpses along the way.
"I didn't hurt them. I heard a commotion outside, so I came to check. They were already dead before I came." The demigod explained everything that he had heard, which wasn't much.
"You fool! Who told you to get out without permission?" The girl didn't thank him for worrying about her. Instead, she was more concerned about the treasures.
She pushed the demigod aside, and rushed inside the treasure room to check if everything was fine.
It was only after she confirmed that not even a single item was missing, she sighed in relief. Nothing was stolen.
She told her guards to search through the entire ship to find the infiltrator. Even the treasure room was checked for anyone who could be hiding here.
The demigod also searched across the entire ship, but he didn't find the culprit. They only found a servant who was tied inside his room. He had already stopped breathing, which made him useless to the Merchant Union.
The girl failed to find Eren, and theorized that the thief had already run away, just as sneakily as he had managed to enter the ship. She even thought that some spatial treasure was used for this.
She assigned the demigod to return to the treasure room, and not to open the door, even if the entire world fell apart.
The demigod listened as well, and stayed inside the treasure room, activating the formation once more.
