My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 46: The First Kill

Eren observed the ongoing battle, eagerly waiting for it to conclude so that he could proceed.

However, his momentary calm was interrupted by a screen that materialized before him.

Four distinct options appeared, each presenting a different course of action:

[Option One: Kill the Poison Dragon.

Reward: Pendant of Strength (Rare Tier)]

[Option Two: Kill the woman.

Reward: Escape Talisman (Rare Tier)]

[Option Three: Leave without interference.

Reward: Luck +1]

[Option Four: Find a way to mediate between the two, ensuring the survival of both the Dragon and the Woman.

Reward: Dragon's Fang (Rare Tier)]

"Meditating between the two is out of the question. I would inevitably face hostility from both sides," Eren contemplated aloud.

"Leaving is likewise not viable. Not only is the reward unappealing, but it's also impractical. They have both detected my presence, and they won't let me leave," he continued, his thoughts racing. freёweɓnovel.com

This time, the four options presented Eren with distinct paths. However, none seemed suitable for his circumstances.

He found himself in a predicament where he couldn't leave, mediate, kill the Dragon, or kill the woman.

The woman possessed formidable strength, making it impossible for Eren to defeat her. Even if he somehow succeeded, it was unlikely that the Dragon would express gratitude and allow him to leave unscathed.

On the other hand, attempting to slay the Dragon would expose him to its poison. This could potentially activate the Pendant of Protection, resulting in the loss of one precious use.

Additionally, the woman might misconstrue his intentions as an attempt to steal the Dragon Kill from her.

"Should I..." Eren trailed off, inhaling deeply as he carefully assessed the situation.

He understood the gravity of making a rash decision, as it could have dire consequences.

Regrettably, time was not on Eren's side. He had little time remaining to reach a resolution. Ultimately, he chose to select the option with the most enticing reward.

"I hope the Pendant of Strength is worth the risk!" Eren exclaimed, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

Only once before had he received a pendant as a reward. It was the Pendant of Protection, which granted him invulnerability against three life-threatening attacks.

While he was unsure if the Pendant of Strength offered similar overpowered benefits, he couldn't afford to dismiss its potential value.

For a weak person like him, strength was what he needed the most.

"The woman is afflicted by poison, and the Dragon is nearing its death. If I can eliminate the Dragon and the Pendant of Strength surpass my expectations, I might be able to alter the course of events," he reasoned.

"I will choose the first option," Eren declared resolutely. "I will slay the Dragon before she does!"

With a mere second remaining on the timer, the screen promptly transformed.

[You have selected the first option]

[The reward will be granted upon completion]

With each passing second, the Poison Dragon was getting closer to death, thanks to the woman's attacks.

She was able to match the Dragon in raw strength. Not just a match, she was able to surpass his strength as her attacks pushed the Poison Dragon back.

"You vile human, even if I die, I won't let you live!" The Dragon's roar filled the surroundings.

Eren pulled out a talisman from his pocket. Unlike the talismans that Ye Liang had, his didn't come from the system.

It was something that Xiu Ying gave him for his protection. But she had never expected what he was going to use it for.

Eren also pulled out his sword which he was barely able to raise, thanks to its weight.

The Dragon's battle had reached the climax. Eren knew what he was going to do. This was something clearly mentioned in the chapter.

The Poison Dragon burned its life force. In a single breath, it shot out all its poison, intending to destroy the entire place.

In the novel, it was also the scene where the woman had taken the most damage.

Eren moved behind a rock, expecting what was to come.

He drank a poison antidote that he prepared in advance before coming here and waited.

Just as he expected, a black cloud of poison spread everywhere, a sound of explosion echoed through the air.

The poison dissipated, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Closed his mouth with his hand. Even with the antidote, he tried to stop himself from inhaling any.

After a few seconds, he emerged from behind the rock, unscathed by the deadly fumes.

The woman wasn't so lucky though. Even as she hid behind a shield, she was affected by the poison.

Blood trickled down her lips, her skin turning darker with poison.

Despite all that, she was still standing. In the novel, this was a part where Ye Liang was the most shocked by her resolve.

This was the point where the woman dealt the final blow to the Dragon who had burned his life force and couldn't even move.

"This is where you die!" The woman declared as she clenched her fists, putting everything she had in her next attack.

"Now!" Eren activated the Talisman which increased his speed, momentarily granting him the blessing of the wind.

His speed increased by twice and he was able to use the wind as he rushed forward.

Eren's swift movement caught the woman off guard as he closed the distance between them in an instant.

With his enhanced speed, he deftly maneuvered around her, weaving through the air like a gust of wind.

As Eren reached the Dragon, he swung his sword with all his might, aiming for a decisive strike. The force behind his blow, amplified by the blessing of wind, was enough to shatter the half dead dragon's defense.

His sword passed through the Dragon's skill, who couldn't believe even until his last breath.

He had thought that the Woman was going to kill him, but in the end, it was this man who came out of nowhere?

The battle had reached its climax, and Eren stood victorious.
