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

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Cowardly or Cunning

"Point six is covered," another voice crackled through the communication device, oblivious to the death of another hero.

The hunters were becoming hunted. While new points were being created by the Heroes, old points were being destroyed by him, not letting anyone know what was going to happen.

"Point seven in place," another voice announced.

Eren moved swiftly, changing locations. It was a little more time consuming to travel to different parts of the city without using teleportation, but for someone like him, this was the most suitable option as he couldn't afford to be sick.

Even Yelen and Felona were summoned to help him take out the Heroes. If it was the stronger Heroes, they might not be as effective but for the weaker heroes whose only responsibility was to plant a gem, they were more than enough.

"Point eight secured," the voice echoed in his ear.

Eren climbed a nearby building. From his vantage point, he could see one of the heroes planting a gem at the base of a monument. He was alone, the perfect target. Eren took a deep breath and leaped down, landing silently behind the hero.

The hero never saw him coming. Eren's claws extended, and with a swift, silent strike, the hero fell. Eren picked up the gem and kept it in his inventory as well, feeling a slight tremor as the spatial seal weakened.

"Point nine..." the voice faltered as static filled the communication device. Eren knew they were beginning to suspect something was wrong.

By now, the seal should have been strong enough to be felt by them but it was non existent as if no gems were placed in place except a rare few.

Liyone's eyes narrowed as he sensed the disruption.

"Something's not right," he muttered. "Someone is dismantling the seal."

He signaled to his team to regroup. "We need to secure the remaining points and find out what's happening."

Eren watched from the shadows. He had already gathered a total of four gems with two more being gathered by his Spirits. He just needed four more to complete his collection.

The remaining Heroes were killed. Even though he planned to draw Eren to him, Eren did the complete opposite.

He didn't attack Liyone who was alone. Instead he went for the place where all the remaining heroes were gathering.

Without the slightest large scale commotion, he managed to take out the remaining Heroes which was shocking for one person to do alone.

Liyone bit his lower lip in frustration, not understanding why Eren wasn't coming for him. Did he already know that this was a trap?

Soon, he reached the ninth point and noticed that the Hero assigned here was also dead and the gem was taken away.

"That cowardly bastard! He doesn't attack the strong ones directly! This confirms that he is definitely weaker than he used to be. My assumption was right!"

"I thought Mist would come here to play hide and seek with me. But to see someone like you, it's disappointing."

While Liyone was fuming, a voice appeared on his communication device. However it wasn't the voice of any of his subordinates.

"Devourer I assume? I heard you were very brave. It seems all the rumors were a lie. You were nothing more than a cowardly bastard who has to run away from me," Liyone said, trying to provoke Devourer into coming for him.

"Little one, you are a little too young to provoke me. You are also not worth my time. Next time, send your Dean if you want me to show up. For now, you are not worth my time. Hence, I'm taking the gems as fee for wasting my time and leaving,"

The voice disappeared as Eren crushed the device. On the north side of the barrier, there was a disturbance as something clearly passed through forcefully, leaving the city.

"You are running away?" Liyone raged, but he couldn't do anything as he couldn't fly. The others who had that ability were already killed.

"That cowardly bastard!" he exclaimed, his mind completely obsessed with the escape of Eren, not even having time to think about anything else.

If he was calmer, he would have noticed that a young man had appeared right behind him.
