My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 658: Crude Method
"I hope three days will be enough..." After Yelen left, Eren sighed with uncertainty.
Before him was a semi-transparent screen listing four options. This time, however, a timer beneath the options counted down from three days. This was the deadline to complete the selected option if he didn't want to lose the reward.
Under no circumstances could he afford to fail the selection, as he desperately needed the reward which was precisely the skill he wanted. It was in search of this skill that he had come to this region.
The reward for one of the options was the partial descent domain, a skill similar to what the Goddess of Light had used to control the False Holy Priestess.
Even though the other three options also had good rewards, he had no choice in the matter. If he wanted a similar skill, he had to search for the remnants of the Temple of Light.
Finding them was in itself a hard and time-consuming process, and the worst part was that there wasn't even any guarantee that the remnants of the temple would know this skill.
The only shortcut to gaining that skill was through the system reward. But the system had only given him three days to complete the option.
"Fck. It just has to do with the King's Clan. I am not even invited to that place. Even if I went there, I would be no more than an intruder. If this is the option, just what kind of danger is waiting there for me?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The option didn't ask him to do something absurd. There was no crazy task to complete. Despite that, it gave Eren a bad feeling. The options this time came with limitations.
[Option Three: Enter the King's Clan, and survive for three days.
Limitations: You can't stay in the same area for more than three hours. You also can't go to the same area that you have already been to before.
Reward: Partial Descent Domain.]
After reading the first line, he had considered the possibility of just finding the safest place within the clan Territory and hiding there for three days. But the limitations took that possibility away from him.
He couldn't even peacefully sleep during the three days, as that would have broken the limitations if he slept more than three hours.
"You want me to survive there, while also giving me such a handicap? Are you sure you're on my side?" he mumbled in frustration, but he still selected the option.
"Let's see what kind of monstrosity is that King's Clan that once ruled the Upper Realm."
After he selected the option, the system screen disappeared. Instead, a holographic map materialized before him, which depicted the King's Clan territory.
The territory was so large that it felt like a small world in itself. Hiding in such a large place was still possible, even if he kept changing places. But once again, he was faced with a problem.
Within the territory, a vast amount of area was marked in red. A warning under the map also told him that the area wasn't suitable for hiding within the selected option.
Instead, there were twenty four smaller areas that were marked with green. He could only spend three hours in each area, until the three days of survival were completed. But he couldn't repeat them.
Unfortunately, all these green areas were in the core region of the King's Clan Territory.
Some of these areas were such that there was not even a single place within them for him to hide. There was no shade, or shadow. There were even some protective measures in the treasured areas.
"Are you intentionally trying to get me caught?" he asked, almost having a heart attack after seeing the difficulty increase to this extent.
[An additional reward will be issued after completion. The grade of the reward will depend on the performance.]
Another screen appeared, next to the map which tried to pacify him a little.
It made him wonder if the system was actually clever enough to understand his anger, or if this additional reward coming at this time was just a coincidence that would've happened even if he hadn't expressed his anger.
"Since I have already selected this option, I don't plan to fail. As for dying, that is the last thing that I want to do, even if I have an extra life."
He was a little upset, but he still accepted his choice. Instead of complaining about it, he started his preparation.
The biggest problem for now was to enter the King's Clan Territory, while he wasn't invited.
"You said the heiress of the Merchant Union is commanding this ship?" he asked the servant, who was blankly looking at him talking to himself like a crazy person.
"Y-yes." The Servant came to his senses and answered.
"Tell me everything about her!" Eren stated, thinking of a way to at least find a way to enter the territory of the Clan.
Throughout the night, he learned everything from the servant, even the rumours that floated around the girl. He even learned about some of the treasures being carried in the ship, including the dangerous ones.
He also learned things that didn't seem any useful, like the duties that the servant performed.
"I found a way." Eren suddenly stood up. He knocked out the servant, and locked him in a wardrobe and started his preparation to leave the room.
He disguised himself as the servant, and stepped out of the room after changing his clothes. But he didn't go to the Merchant Union Princess.
Instead, he went to the area where the treasures were being stored, a place that even the servant he was using didn't have access to.
"What are you doing here?" He couldn't even get close to the area before he was stopped by the Guards.
Eren had learned that there were a few Demigod tier guards that were staying inside the treasure room. But fortunately, the guards that stopped him were much weaker than demigods.
"Of course I'm going to take what's mine," Eren said, as his figure disappeared.
A silver flash moved from one place to another, and within seconds, multiple thuds were heard with the guards falling to the ground.
"Although it's a little crude, this is the only suitable method for this situation," he mumbled, as he rushed forth.
