Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Last wish
He never thought that there were more people like him, especially those who were being guided in a similar manner.
He finally understood why Eren had become an obstruction for him. Since all of them were in a race against each other, they couldn\'t allow the other person to get ahead.
"I should have known." He covered his face with his hands, looking at Eren through the gap between his fingers, his eyes being void of any compassion.
"If I hadn\'t used the Glimpse of Death to see the scene of me dying in my room at your hands, I never would\'ve known that such was the case."
He felt quite frustrated. He had met the author many times, but that person never once hinted about there being more people like him.
If he wasn\'t lucky enough to get the item called Glimpse of Death, he would have remained ignorant even in his death.
Just thinking about the scene he saw through that item sent a chill down his spine. He was waiting in his room for Ruby, but it was Eren who came.
Before he could react, he was killed. There was no conversation between them, only a terrifying silence.
After he knew the future, he made every arrangement to change it. Instead of waiting for Ruby in ignorance, he arranged the family heads to stay in his room to protect him and kill Eren.
"How many of you are there?" he asked Eren. "Just how many people came here from earth? Do they also know about me?"
He didn\'t know anything about the other Transmigrators. Their existence alone was a threat for him.
Just one Transmigrator like Eren had almost killed him if he wasn\'t lucky. What about other Transmigrators? Just how dangerous were they for him?
Eren shrugged in response. Even he didn\'t know how many Transmigrators were in this world. All he knew was that he was the only one in the Eastern Continent.
He had already come across four other Transmigrators including Fey, which felt like all there was to it. However, he wasn\'t certain if that was actually the case.
"Why don\'t you ask the author? Even I want the answer to that question," Eren reminded Fey. "Since I am going to die in any case, why don\'t you let me die after letting me know?"
Even though he wasn\'t sure if Fey had any Question Voucher, it was still worth asking him. If Fey was the one who used the question voucher, he could get the answer for free, without feeling like he wasted an opportunity.
"Master, he is suspicious! Even though he acts like he has surrendered to his fate, I don\'t see any fear in his eyes. He might be planning something. Don\'t listen to him!" One of the Family Heads intervened, feeling like Fey was seriously listening to Eren\'s suggestion.
"What can he do even if he is not scared?" Fey scoffed in response. "It\'s just false bravery."
In his eyes, everyone here was insignificant. The family heads didn\'t even know who they were talking about. They were too unimportant for this conversation between two Transmigrators.
"When the author arrives, the entire world will be frozen. Except me, no one else can move. Even if he wants to do something, what can he do?" Fey didn\'t take their warnings seriously.
According to his knowledge, Eren couldn\'t change anything. As far as he knew, only he could move when the author arrived, as he was the summoner. At least that\'s how things had been in the past.
Eren could only move after the author left, but at that time, the others could also move.
"Although I hate you, I will be merciful as we come from the same place. I will let you die knowing. I will treat this as your last wish," Fey proudly stated, bringing out the Question Voucher.
He then flipped the coin, using his ability on the Question Voucher. He didn\'t hesitate to perform the skill in front of Eren, as he was the only one who could use it.
With the toss of the coin, his skill linked with the Question Voucher. To his pleasant surprise, he also succeeded as the coin landed on the right face. The effect was successful.
"It seems I won\'t have to waste the voucher to get my answer. Not bad," He smiled, casually activating the Question Voucher.
At that moment, the entire world was frozen. The time itself had come to a halt. Even the Family Heads couldn\'t resist the strike of time.
Even Eren froze, his lips still remaining partly open. He looked like nothing more than a statue. The only person who could still move was none other than Fey.
"What do you want to ask?" A voice came from behind Fey, belonging to the author.
Fey slowly turned around, frowning. "You fool. Why did you not tell me that there were other Transmigrators here? Did you want me to die while remaining ignorant?"
He didn\'t even waste a single second, letting out all his frustrations on the author.
"Hmm?" The author appeared slightly frustrated at being scolded but his pupils trembled as he noticed what kind of situation this was.
"Hah, so that\'s what it was." He rubbed his forehead, shaking his head lightly.
Even though he was looking in the direction of Fey, the young man felt as if the author was looking through him. To be specific, he was looking behind him.
Even though Fey couldn\'t see that person\'s face, he felt some semblance of pity in that person\'s voice.
"That was truly devious of you. Making him use his own treasures to..." the author said, not completing his sentence.
"Where are you looking?" Fey grew suspicious at the author\'s reaction. Confused, he also looked back.
