My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 311 - : Loss of both
"Instead of being happy at getting your first kiss, I would much rather feel disgusted," Eren said, still standing straight, albeit a little unstable.
His words were upsetting to the Ghost Queen but more than that, she was surprised that he still hadn't fallen asleep. She was sure that even if it was a Professor like Axxel, he should've long been asleep as she directly administered the poison.
She didn't realize that Eren had the Bloodline of the Celestial Dragon, which came with slight poison immunity.
It couldn't remove the most toxic of poisons at this point, but if it was just the sleeping poison, it was much easier to handle.
Moreover, until his immunity removed the poison from his body, it was his pain that kept him awake, preventing the poison from putting him to sleep.
At times, the pains of spatial portals was his biggest curse. However, now that same thing had become a helper.
"It doesn't matter. Since you don't want to accept a peaceful death in your sleep, I will just have to grant you death when you are awake."
She raised her hand, great amounts of Ghastly Energy gathering around her, taking shapes of tens of daggers that floated above her.
In an instant, all those daggers shot out towards Eren, who still couldn't clearly focus on the incoming daggers. Instead of trying to block them, he chose to simply avoid them.
Using the ability that he had stolen from Axxel, he stepped sideways, almost appearing like he had simply teleported. Since it wasn't actually teleportation, it didn't worsen his symptoms.
Dodging the daggers, he rushed towards the Ghost Queen who appeared as if she had expected something like this. She was fighting Axxel after all.
The daggers that Eren had dodged changed their direction swiftly. Halfway through, they stopped. They turned around and came back, about to stab Eren in the back.
Eren could feel the cold presence of the daggers closing in behind him, but he didn't falter. Instead, he smirked, as finally, the side effects of using the portal appeared to have disappeared. He had regained his vision.
The Ghost Queen's eyes narrowed, sensing that something wasn't right.
With a sharp twist of his body, Eren mumbled a word under his breath, "Seal."
As if the world itself contained incredible power, it unleashed a burst of energy that created a shockwave, pushing the spectral daggers off course.
They whizzed past him, stabbing harmlessly into the ground. The Ghost Queen's confidence wavered for a brief moment. She knew Axxel was fast but there was no report about him being physically strong as well.
The Ghost Queen didn't hear the word that Eren had spoken but she was sure that it wasn't an ability that Axxel was born with. How could this person use abilities that he wasn't born with? It should've been impossible, unless...
Her expressions darkened as she subconsciously stepped back. "You....you aren't Axxel!"
There was only one person in the entire world who could use abilities that they weren't born with. It wasn't Axxel using another ability. It was more like another person using Axxel's ability and there was only one person who could do something like that.
Even though she hadn't been presented at the ceremony where Mist's daughter was kidnapped, she had heard quite a lot about this. It was such a big event after all that wasn't hidden from the Elders.
She also remembered hearing about that person possessing a disguise ability that even managed to fool Mist and the others.
"You are Devourer! How dare you return to the Academy?!"
Even though Ghost Queen was confident about her ability, she was also cautious against Devourer as she didn't know what abilities he actually possessed.
Even the world itself didn't know what kind of abilities this man had gathered. All they knew were the abilities that he had shown before.
"You guessed my identity from just that?" Eren was slightly impressed by the Ghost Queen. She truly wasn't a fool if she could guess something like that from the brief moment where he used the Dragon's Tongue.
Even though her point of assumption about Dragon Tongue being another bloodline ability of Heroes was wrong, she did end up with the right outcome in the end.
As Eren spoke, his disguise started changing. His face returned to the face of Devourer that he had shown during the trial ceremony before Mist.
Even now, no one knew that this wasn't his real face but another disguise. What better proof of his identity as Devourer than his use of multiple abilities?
"You are truly a fool! Now that you have done here, do you think you can leave? I can alert the entire academy and you'll be trapped here!" The Ghost Queen exclaimed, still stepping back until she was inside the lab already.
Eren also didn't attack her. Quite casually, he followed her inside the lab, more interested in the fate of his disciples.
In any case, he didn't plan to go all out when his disciples were here. His only responsibility was distraction.
He soon looked over the Ghost Queen's shoulder, noticing an empty cage with Yelen standing next to it, giving him a thumbs up. She had completed the task assigned to her.
"You said you can inform the Academy about me? So why aren't you doing it?" Eren asked, slightly intrigued by Ghost Queen's reactions.
Instead of threatening him, it was more like she was trying to persuade him to leave.
"Is it because you are doing something that you don't want others to find out either?" he further asked, looking in another direction where the lifeless body of Aster was floating.
His wounds had almost completely healed at this point, suggesting that the process was almost on the verge of completion. freewebnoveℓ.com
"If we fight, both of us will lose something. You hate Mist, and I also want her dead. Do we really have to fight? My abilities won't even be useful for you," the Ghost Queen narrowed her eyes, not surprised that Eren had guessed her intention.
