My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 45: The other side of the door

He couldn't even finish cursing his luck when his heightened senses picked up the sound of the beasts running after him.

"Argh, fine!"

He picked up the talisman of wind, activating it.

As soon as the talisman activated, Ye Liang felt the power of the talisman filling his body.

He didn't waste a single second as he turned around and started running away from the wild beasts of the Forest of Death.

If his vision was good, he could have used this talisman to fight the beasts. But thanks to the fog, he didn't have confidence in that as well.

He could only run away from the beasts that started chasing after him as well.

"Run, my dear treasure chest. And thanks for guiding me."

Eren carefully climbed down the tree like a mortal, not worrying about being seen.

He landed on the Golden Path that was left abandoned by the Main Character when he ran away from the Beasts.

"Keep an eye on that brat. Don't make your presence known, but also don't let him die. And in any case, don't let him come here again."

"I will make sure."

Xiu Ying nodded as she went after Ye Liang.

She didn't know what was the relation between Ye Liang and Elder Ren, but it wasn't time for her to think about it.

She just wanted to make sure that she didn't disappoint her husband who was certainly going to take the inheritance.

She didn't care about the inheritance as she was already strong enough.

Even if she had gotten it, she would have been willing to hand it over to him so she didn't feel jealous.

"Now then, shall we begin..."

Eren walked the golden path that was left vacant.

The path led him to an insignificant part of the Forest that was between the Inner and Outer Region boundary of the forest.

"So this is where it was."

Eren found himself standing before a golden door that had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

As he reached out to touch the door, a warm energy pulsed through his fingertips, inviting him to step inside.

For most people, this was an opportunity of a lifetime. It was a journey into the unknown.

Everyone would have been hungry for the inheritance that was inside. But only Eren knew that it wasn't the case.

"It was only then, Ye Liang found out that the inheritance that he was after had already been taken by her, before he even stepped through that door."

Eren still remembered that part of the novel. He realized that the Inheritance was already gone by the time Ye Liang activated this path.

So on the other side, there was nothing to be taken. Or so everyone would have thought.

Finally, he reached a surreal place bathed in an eerie glow. There, standing before him, was a colossal beast.

Ye Liang didn't get the inheritance on the other side of the door but he did get something more important.

"Ye Liang did survive what happened inside, but can I? With my luck, it might not be a certain future. But still, I can't waste this opportunity."

He placed his faith on the Necklace of Protection that still had two uses left.

He pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Finally, he reached a surreal place bathed in an eerie glow. There, standing before him, was a colossal beast.

It was a monstrous creature with scales as black as night and eyes that burned with an otherworldly fire.

Just a single glance at the beast and Eren could see how dangerous he was. He was as strong as Xiu Ying, if not stronger.

The novel described this beast as one of the most dangerous beasts in the Forest of Death. It was said that no one who ever saw this beast ever managed to return alive.

It wasn't dangerous because of its strength alone. Instead, its main strength was its poison.

The beast had a name. It was called the King of the Forest of Death. But it also had another name. It was the Poison Dragon.

There were even legends that a fully grown Poison Dragon's venom could kill a divine being within minutes.

The Poison Dragon was a fierce beast, but it didn't pay any attention to Eren.

Its body was already covered in multiple wounds. Its black scales were tainted with his blood.

The Poison Dragon appeared to be barely alive at this moment.

Not far from the Poison Dragon, there stood a woman.

She had long, flowing hair as white as snow. She wore a flowing silver robe that seemed to blend with the ethereal moonlit surroundings.

She had no weapons in her hands. All she had were her bleeding fists with which she attacked the Poison Dragon.

It was possibly the worst matchup. It was a battle against a Dragon whose scales were covered with Blood and a woman who could only deal damage with her fists.

Despite that, the woman appeared to be in a winning position.

Only Eren knew that it wasn't the case. The woman didn't appear to be poisoned, but that was only because she was resisting it with everything she had.

Most of the poison, she was able to remove from her body with her natural skills. But there was one person that her body wasn't able to remove because it wasn't detected as poison.

That poison had a name amongst humans as well. It was called an aphrodisiac. But the Poison Dragon's poison was much stronger.

Even with her poison resistance skill that removed all other poison of the Dragon from her body, she wasn't able to remove it.

It was this woman. She was the one who killed the Poison Dragon in the novel, and also the one who had received the Ancient Inheritance.

The Inheritance was also the reason she was able to fight the Poison Dragon without dying instantly.

Eren knew he didn't have to intervene now. At least not unless the Poison Dragon was dead. He didn't want to be inflicted by the poison as well.

He simply observed the battle between two powerful beings that was drawing closer to an end.

[Option One...]

"Huh? Now?"

A screen opened before Eren, attracting his attention. Multiple options floated before him.freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
