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

Felona subconsciously closed her eyes. Even in what felt like her last moments, she didn't feel any regret that she was going to die. If anything, she felt glad that Eren hadn't directly involved himself.

As she had played the part of the Emperor's enemy, this person wasn't going to harm him. With her death, she was protecting him.

In her last moments, his face flashed in her mind, a smile spreading across her lips instead of fear.

Suddenly, Felona felt a large gust of wind that made her hair fly back. Her clothes fluttered, as if a powerful impact had been made. However, she didn't feel any pain for some reason.

Confused, she slowly opened her eyes, wondering why she was still alive.

As she opened her eyes, her pupils trembled. "Why are you..."

Her voice was shaky. She was in disbelief. If Eren hadn't taken action, no link could be made between him and her. He wouldn't have to fight this man who was as strong as an Overlord, if not more.

Any sane person would have chosen to avoid this fight, sacrificing her.

After all, even if she was dead, Eren had Yelen and the entire Spirit Realm at his command. What was a mere Spirit Queen when a Spirit Ancestor was at his command?

Her heart was shaking violently as she looked at his back that felt too reliable in this moment. Even in front of an attack that could destroy half the city, the man was standing like a sturdy wall in an effort to protect her.

Eren was holding on to the fist of the unknown man. The violent energy of the man was reacting fiercely to his holy essence.

He felt his veins turn darker as the unknown energy invaded his body, his veins turning darker as if the corrupt energy was destroying his body from the inside.

His body was in extreme pain but his expressions remained calm. He didn't show even a single frown.

"Shouldn't you have some manners when visiting someone's home?" he asked the man, not taking a single step back even as the violent energy ravaged inside him.

Fortunately, his body had become stronger after evolution into the Dragon of the Beginning.

Even when he wasn't in the dragon form, he could still hold on based on his strength alone. If it was his old self, the outcome could have been completely different.

"Are you sure you are in a condition to be caring about manners?" The man asked Eren, his gaze momentarily shifting to Eren's hand.

Eren's skin had turned completely dark. The skin on his arm had started breaking apart as the unknown energy was causing chaos inside him.

"That person tried to hurt someone she shouldn't have. If you don't step aside, you will be considered an enemy," the man told Eren, appearing as if he was extremely serious about this threat.

His first attack was made targeting the Spirit Queen. It was clear that he could make even stronger attacks if the enemy was different. He was still warning Eren to move aside.

Even though Eren didn't know what this destructive energy was, he knew that he couldn't step back here. If he did, Felona was going to die.

"If you want to make me an enemy, then I hope you won't blame me for what happens next," he answered, his voice being just as threatening.

The unknown energy kept spreading through Eren's body, soon reaching his heart. It was as if a flaming poison was attacking his heart from every side.

'Leave right now.' Eren sent a mental transmission to Felona, who was still in disbelief.

Hearing his message, she came out of her daze. However, she didn't know what to do next.

If she followed his instructions, she had to run away. But if she did that, Eren was going to take the brunt of the man's wrath.

They still didn't know the identity of the man. In this world, there shouldn't have been someone this strong besides the four Overlords. If they killed him, what if there was someone even more threatening behind him?

If she ran away, Eren was going to enter into even more trouble.

"You foolish Emperor, I was here to make you suffer. But to think that you would unintentionally save me, just to protect your palace from being destroyed!"

Felona arrogantly spoke, her voice looking down on the Holy Emperor. It was as if she was still in the role of the Emperor's enemies, keeping his actions separate from hers.

She gave his actions more meaning. He wasn't here to protect her who was supposed to be his enemy. Instead, he was simply trying to protect her.

"Even if I am dying here, I will drag you down with me!" She conjured a spiritual dagger in her hand.

Even though the dagger looked threatening, it wasn't harmful for Eren.

'I am sorry, but I can't follow your instructions this time,' she sent a mental transmission to Eren.

She grabbed Eren by the collar and pushed her back, getting her away from the man. However, she made it seem like she did it so she could slam him against a wall.

As long as he wasn't in contact with the unknown man, more poisonous energy wasn't going to invade his body. As for the energy that had already invaded, it could easily be healed by his body within some time.

She knew Eren was going to stand up and protect her again. She didn't want that, so she flew straight towards him, stabbing her dagger in his chest, intentionally missing his heart.

The dagger wasn't simply to put up the act. With the dagger, she could keep him paralyzed as long as she wanted. At least until his body removed the effects of the dagger. Fortunately, it couldn't happen that fast.

She left Eren behind, unmoving, the dagger clearly stabbed in his chest.

"Now that I have taken care of him, I shall kill you two as well," Felona told the unknown man, who was frowning at her actions.

He had thought that Eren was working with her, which was why he protected her. Was he wrong?

Felona didn't look back at Eren. She conjured two daggers, preparing for a battle that she was certain she was going to lose. At least, she could protect Eren that way.

'There was a time when I really hated you. You took advantage of our problems to conquer the Spirit Realm. I should have hated you forever. However, I didn't know when that hate changed into something else.'

The Spirit Queen sent another mental transmission to Eren, as if leaving her last message to the person she wanted to remember her the most.

While leaving a message to him, she stepped towards the man who gathered that destructive energy around his fist once more.

'You had so many incredible people around you, that I never felt like I deserved to be around you. Still, every time you asked me to do something, I felt happy...' Felona continued with her thoughts that she was directly transmitting to Eren.

"I now understand why the Spirit Ancestor had gone against the world for a man. So this is that feeling. It is not half bad…"
