My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Victims of Devourer
Eren approached Xiu Ying as she called out to him, indicating that the food was ready.

He could smell the enticing aroma coming from the cooked Sea Serpent. His stomach growled in response, eager to taste the unique delicacy.

If one was to forget about your source, the food truly looked like a delicacy, further improved by Xiu Ying’s cooking.

Sitting down beside the fire, Eren and Xiu Ying shared a meal together. The meat of the Sea Serpent was surprisingly tender and flavorful, surpassing their expectations.

With each bite, Eren couldn’t help but marvel at the taste and texture, savoring every bite. At one point, he even forgot that he was eating this to test his ability and not just to enjoy.

As they enjoyed their meal, Eren tried to stay focused. And soon, his mind was consumed with thoughts about his Devouring Skill.

He wondered if consuming the meat would unlock new abilities or reveal hidden secrets of Devouring Skill. With each bite, he paid close attention to any changes he felt within himself.

After finishing their meal, Eren checked his status screen with Identification Skill. Unfortunately, once again he was left disappointed.

‘Just what am I supposed to do?!’ he thought in frustration. He could not understand why it was so hard to use someone else’s ability. Was it truly useless baggage?

“Do you know anything about the victims of Devourer?” He asked Xiu Ying. The only thing he knew was that the victims of Devourer were never found alive.

“Devourer? Why are you suddenly remembering him?” Xiu Ying asked. She remembered that this was the second time he asked her about this.

The first time he asked her if she knew how his ability worked, to which she had no answer. No one knew how his ability worked after all. But now, he was asking about his victims instead.

“I’ve just been quite curious about his ability and how it worked. Since no one knows about it, I only get more and more curious,” Eren answered.

“I know that all his victims were found dead. And mostly, his victims were only people who tried to kill him.”

“Was something wrong with the bodies of the victims when they were found?”

Xiu Ying thought for a while. She hadn’t paid much attention to that person as he had long been dead. He was killed by the Four Overlords. And that was probably the last time these Overlords from the four continents worked together.

“Feng Yu might know more about it. But I do know that the bodies of the victims were covered in blood when they were discovered. And their chest had a hole, with their heart missing,” Xiu Ying said, remembering something.

She further stated, “I believe Devourer probably loved crushing the hearts of the people that tried to kill him,”

‘Heart…?’ Eren stood up, lost in thought. “Is it truly that he loved crushing their heart, or does it have something to do with…”

“I will be right back.”

He started running towards the giant body of the Sea Serpent. As he did not know where the creature had his heart, he could only check from start to end.

He opened the giant mouth of the lifeless Sea Serpent and entered the creature, who was so huge that walking inside this creature was like walking in a wide tunnel.

Eren walked inside the body of the Sea Serpent. While the food made from the meat of the serpent was delicious, walking inside his body was disgusting as the stench was everywhere.

Fortunately, there was no acid inside the body. There was only blood from the ocean, which only made his pants a little dirty but did not hurt him.

As Eren continued his journey through the giant body of the Sea Serpent, he carefully navigated through the dark passageways.

The squelching sound of his footsteps echoed in the cavernous space, accompanied by the occasional gush of blood as he brushed against the walls.

He knew that somewhere within the depths of this creature was its heart, the key to unlocking the secrets of his Devouring Skill. If his guess was right, then he was just a step away from confirming the mechanism of his devouring skill.

The thought of discovering something new, something that could potentially change the course of his abilities, made him even more eager.

As he ventured deeper into the Sea Serpent’s body, Eren noticed a pulsating glow emanating from a distant space.

The light grew brighter with each step, drawing him closer to his destination. It was a sign that he was getting closer to the heart, the source of the creature’s life force.

Even though the Sea Serpent was dead, its heart still had some life force left.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Eren reached the place where the heart of the Sea Serpent resided. It was a breathtaking sight. The heart was massive, even bigger than himself.

The heart was not beating anymore but Eren could still feel the energy radiating from it.

Eren reached out and gently touched the surface of the heart. It pulsed beneath his fingertips, responding to his presence.

“Please work this time.”

He pulled out a dagger and sliced a small part of the Sea Serpent’s heart, his hands stained with blood.

It was a disgusting sight, even for him. However, he knew it was a necessary step. If he wanted to live in this world, he could only leave behind the common sense and thoughts that he possessed when he was on earth.

Closing his eyes, he took a bite of the Sea Serpent’s heart. One bite turned into two bites, and then into more.

Before long, he finished the portion that he had sliced. Once again, it looked more disgusting than it tasted.

Realising that he liked this taste, Eren could not believe himself. Was he really changing after coming to this world?

He did not have time to think about it. As soon as he finished eating, he used Identification Skill.
