My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: A Demon’s Whisper
…..

With the spirit essence of the world being devoured by the Jar, all three conditions of Eren’s plan were fulfilled. At this moment, he had complete control over the situation.

The Spirits were rendered powerless and could do nothing but rely on him. He could command them to do anything, and they would have to listen if they wanted to survive.

As for the Necromancer, it was strong but still just one person.

“My dear system, I am sure you tried to screw me over. But watch how I turn things in my favor,” Eren muttered with a smirk.

With everything in place, he leaped off the third island. However, he had barely descended halfway when he noticed Estelina and Resphi plummeting, unable to control their flight.

He could have let them fall, knowing they would survive. But in the end, he decided to save them.

Temporarily keeping his gun and Sword back, he flew towards the two of them. His arms wrapped around their wrists, slowing their fall.

“Kyaa, the pervert is back!” Resphi screamed.

If Eren’s hands weren’t occupied, he would have already flicked her forehead.

“If you don’t shut that mouth, I might send you to the bigger pervert up there,” he retorted.

Resphi’s face grew pale, and she immediately closed her mouth.

“I thought you ran away. Why are you back?” Estelina asked, being carried like baggage.

She wasn’t foolish enough to think that this was because of some fleeting sense of morality. She was certain Eren had his own reason.

“I am back to take something that’s mine,” Eren answered vaguely.

“And that would be?” asked Estelina.

“You will find out soon enough. After all, it’s more or less confirmed already.”

Eren landed behind Felona, carrying Estelina and Resphi who were no stronger than an ordinary person at the moment. If he wanted, he could easily knock both of them out.

Along the way, he managed to hear the story that the Necromancer was telling. However, he already knew the context better than anyone.

He knew the moment he had used the identification skill on the Necromancer, as well as the Jar. Both status screens had one thing in common.

“How do you know all that?” Felona asked, not realizing that Eren had landed behind her. Without the Spirit Essence, even her senses had become dull.

“Do you really need to ask that? It’s because he is the human lover of the First Spirit Queen, and the person that was given the Jar of Abandoned Spirits in the first place.”

Eren also found it somewhat hard to believe when he read that in the Necromancer’s status screen.

The Necromancer was the original owner of the Jar, but when he checked the item’s description, the Necromancer wasn’t considered an owner.

It was because he wasn’t the human anymore.

He was the same person, but he had turned into an entirely different existence after being brought to life as an undead by the Tower Master.

“It’s impossible! How can he…?!” Felona exclaimed in disbelief to Eren’s words.

The spirits were sinners. They had betrayed the first Spirit Queen, and for centuries after that, many spirits regretted their decision.

They had killed their own mother while also taking everything from the human mortal.

It was only when the Spirit Queen was gone, and the Spirit Realm began to weaken that they realized the gravity of their actions.

In response, the spirits began entering into contracts with humans to atone for their past mistakes. This was also a way for them to strengthen the Spirit Realm by drawing life from humans with every summon.

Though the spirits knew they had been wrong, some things remained unchanged. Future Spirit Queens had never fallen in love with a human again, determined not to repeat the same mistake.

The Spirit Queen was no longer even allowed to be contracted with a human, or to leave the Spirit Realm.

“That is right… I am the person who sold his humanity for this moment!” The Necromancer stated, his voice echoing in all seven islands.

“She was the one who brought you into existence. She cherished you so much. Even during her death, she couldn’t get herself to hate you! But I am not her!”

“You took her from me! You took my everything! I have burned in the flames of hatred for as far as I can remember. Even in death, I only wanted one thing… The destruction of you all!”

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to enter this place. I died with this hatred in my heart, cursing myself for this weakness. Until one day, I returned from the embrace of death!”

“Thanks to the Tower Master, I was back. But I could not remember anything about my life. It wasn’t until I touched this Jar that I remembered everything.”

“I feel foolish… To think that death made me forget about her… Death made me forget about you all. But once again, she showed me the light in the eternal darkness and made me remember…”

His fingers caressed the Jar, which was the most precious thing to him, as well as the only possession he could call his own.

The moment he remembered his past, he wanted to come here and rain down hell on the Spirits, but he wasn’t allowed. It was only now that he was permitted for material gathering.

“I will be blamed if I don’t bring enough materials. But I will accept all the blame, as long as I get to eradicate you all!”

“Even if I truly return to death’s embrace after that, I will be happy. I will drag you all with me, so you could beg for her forgiveness!”

He raised his right hand, and once again the Inferno Magic Circle appeared in the sky, but this time, something was different about it.

This time, the circle looked more complex, along with the addition of spells related to death.

Felona’s expressions turned darker at the sight of the magic circle. Without her strength, she couldn’t even protect her people.

“Do you realize that all Spirits are about to be killed?” Eren placed his hand on the Spirit Queen’s head while whispering in her ears like a demon, trying to lure her.

“But it doesn’t have to be that way… As long as you want it…”
