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

49  Chapter 49: The Fifth Overlord

He reached out his hand, trying to grab anything he could.

His hands soon clasped around a rock. With all his might, he swung the rock, hitting the woman's head with it.

With her physical strength, he knew that it wasn't enough to harm her. But it was certainly enough to momentarily bring her back to her senses.

The pain brought the woman to her senses. She saw herself lying atop the man, biting his lips.

Flustered and embarrassed, she quickly got off him.

"If you want to heal yourself, I can help you. But if you try to touch me one more time, I will kill you."

Eren patted his clothes as he stood up, his lips were still bleeding from the woman's bites.

"Help me... Please!" the woman said, her eyes almost pleading.

She didn't want to do it. But she knew that she couldn't maintain her sanity for longer. If anything, it was much better to die than to lose her senses.

She bit her own lips to use pain to maintain her sanity for longer, but the strange feeling in her heart only became stronger.

"You tried to kill me. And now you are asking for my help?" Eren asked. "Even if I helped you, it won't come for free."

"Give me the Inheritance you received, and I will grant you an antidote."

"You..."

The woman looked at Eren, not knowing how to react. He even knew that she had received the inheritance?

She wanted to protect that inheritance. That's what she risked so much for. That was the reason she had to fight the Poison Dragon and now the man wanted that?

"The choice is yours. Will you die at my hands after losing your mind, or will you give me something worth my time?"

Eren didn't appear in any hurry, but in reality, he was most concerned about time.

He tightly held onto the stone in his hand, ready to attack her again in case she lost her mind. He didn't know if that could stop her again, but in any case, he wanted to avoid using the Pendant.

Seconds felt like eternity when something so important was at stake. But thankfully, the woman didn't take long to decide.

It was better to die than to give in to her beastly urges. Similarly, it was better to give up the inheritance than to die.

The choice was clear for her.

She took off the ring from her finger, tossing it towards Eren.

Eren already knew what kind of inheritance it was. He grabbed the ring and placed it on his finger.

It was an inheritance that couldn't be stolen once it had selected a master.

Even if he was to kill her, he couldn't take it. But it was a different matter when the owner herself gave up on the inheritance.

Eren brought out the antidote from his inventory and tossed it towards the woman.

The woman caught the vial of antidote. She quickly opened it and gulped it down.

[You have completed the selected option]

[You have received an Unknown Bloodline]

[Bloodline selected: The Devourer]

[Bloodline Effects: Can steal others' bloodlines when certain conditions are met]

'The Devourer?'

Once the Bloodline was received, more information became available to him. He was finally able to see whose Bloodline he had received.

As he saw the information, his face lit up with excitement.

The Devourer was briefly mentioned in the novel that he had read. When talking about the Four Monarchs of this Continent, there was one name that was often forgotten.

There were four Overlords in each of the four continents. But long ago, there was said to be one more person who was comparable to the Four Overlords.

And that fifth person was none other than a Hero named Devourer.

More than a Hero, he was known as the Villain because of his powers. With time, his strength kept increasing until he became a threat to this world instead.

After that, all Four Overlords came together. That was the only time when the Four Overlords from each continent worked together.

They killed the Devourer and finished his Bloodline. Even the descendants of the Devourer were killed to make sure that no one could awaken the cursed ability of this Bloodline.

It was a Bloodline that had threatened the Four Monarchs. So it wasn't wrong to call it an Overlord Rank Bloodline.

Eren was happy that he had received such a powerful Bloodline, but at the same time, he knew that he couldn't let anyone know about this.

The Bloodline was strong, but it was also hated. If someone found out about his Bloodline, he was going to become the second person to be chased by all four Overlords who were much stronger now than when they killed the Devourer.

There was also not much information about this Bloodline other than the fact that it could steal other bloodlines.

The description also mentioned that he could only steal them when certain conditions were met. But what conditions were they? He didn't know.

'It seems like I need to find more about the Devourer'

He stopped thinking about this Bloodline and turned to see how the woman was doing.

Her eyes were closed and her face was still flushed, but her breathing was getting better. The antidote was slowly working.

He sighed in relief. As long as she wasn't going to pounce on him, he could save a use of the Pendants. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He looked down in his pocket where Celeste was sitting, looking at him innocently.

"Kids shouldn't see such things. Forget what you saw, alright?"

He patted the head of Celeste, who smiled when her head was patted.

Three hours passed and the woman finally opened her eyes.

Her face had returned to normal, but she still looked embarrassed, remembering everything had done.

If Eren wasn't stronger than her, she would have killed him to keep this a secret.

She didn't know that the strength she had seen previously was only temporary.

"Feeling better?"

She saw Eren in the distance, sitting next to a fire.

"Are you cooking the Poison Dragon?" she asked.
