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

Eren understood that he could not complete this mission that was given to him by the sect master with the help of ten weakest disciples alone.

It would still be possible if he had a Core Disciple in the mix, but that wasn't the case either.

He couldn't even use Ye Liang who accompanied him as a servant on this trip. Hence, this mission was no different than sending the ten outer disciples to their deaths.

During the journey, he had been thinking about various ways he could help them succeed, without actually fighting in their place or taking another person's help.

Fortunately, he did manage to think of a decent method that fit the criteria of the option he had chosen.

"Elder Ren, the formations are active," one of the ship's crew members reported. "Should we break it?"

Eren looked back at the ten disciples, not answering the crew members.

He paid special attention to a female outer disciple who was standing in the back. Although she didn't take the lead from the start to the beginning, she still managed to catch his eye.

Amongst all the ten disciples, she was the only one who hadn't shown much fear, even though he tried to scare them by telling them that they were all alone in this mission, or were going to die.

It was as if she trusted him while also being prepared to die.

"Come, I'll teach you something." He placed his hand on the young girl's shoulder. "As for the remaining nine, prepare for battle. The moment this formation is broken, I want you to rush down and start killing your way into the sect."

The nine disciples looked at each other with confusion. They didn't understand why Elder Ren took that girl with him.

They were the ten weakest disciples in the sect, but the girl he took was the weakest even amongst them. She was the weakest disciple of the sect, to the point that many were even surprised how she managed to enter the sect.

There were even rumors amongst the Outer Disciples that she ententered through cheating. That's why she was constantly bullied by the disciples in the Outer Sect and looked down on.

The nine disciples wondered if Elder Ren had a special reason for choosing the weakest among them. Did he have some hidden affection towards the weak? His actions were truly beyond their comprehension.

Setting aside their doubts, they focused on the incoming battle. Even if they were to face the Great Elders, they had Elder Ren's watchful eye upon them. They could only place their trust in him.

They prepared their weapons and stood at the forefront of the Battleship, gazing down at the Asura Sect, which was concealed within a barrier formed by the sect's protective formation.

From outside the barrier, the sect resembled a turtle hiding within its shell rather than the formidable force it was influential in the region.

The Celestial Battleship slowed to a halt before the Asura Sect's barrier.

The nine disciples prepared themselves for the battle of a lifetime, holding the Weight Reduction Talismans to jump into action the moment the barrier shattered.

A minute passed since the Celestial Ship had stopped, and nothing happened. Five minutes elapsed, and still, the situation remained unchanged.

Awkward silence enveloped the deck of the ship as the nine disciples exchanged glances, each wondering if something had gone wrong. Was something wrong with the ship?

Tuck~

Tuck~

The awkward silence was soon broken when they heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind them.

They looked back and saw that Eren had returned, but he was alone this time, looking just as dignified as ever.

Eren went past the disciples and looked down at the Sect.

"Are you prepared?" he asked.

"We are prepared!" The disciples answered in unison.

"What are you prepared for?" Eren asked again.

"To give our lives for the sect! To protect the glory of the sect!" the disciples replied.

"Wrong. The sect doesn't need you to protect its glory. In the grand scheme of things, you are insignificant for the sect. I will ask you again. What are you prepared for?!"

The disciples were silent for some time, before one of them exclaimed, "To take this opportunity and prove ourselves!"

"Prove yourself to whom?"

"To ourselves!"

Eren smiled as he heard the disciples' words. Finally they were on the right track.

"That is correct. Today, you must prove yourself! But not to me, and definitely not to the sect! You must prove to yourself!"

"Prepare for descent!" Eren commanded loudly.

The disciples stepped forward and raised the Weight Reduction Talismans they were given by Eren.

"On the count of three!"

"One!"

"Two!*

"Three!"

With a deafening roar, the Celestial Battleship unleashed a barrage of energy blasts, hammering the Asura Sect's protective formations.

The ground shook as cracks started spreading through the land with the Asura Sect at the core.

"Go!" Eren commanded. The disciples leaped from the ship, descending into the chaos below.

They activated the Talismans which temporarily reduced their weight, making them slowly descend above the Asura Sect.

....

Inside the Asura Sect, the Great Elders watched in horror as their protective formations began to crack. The energy blasts from the Celestial Battleship were relentless, and their defenses were crumbling.

"We can't hold them off much longer!" one of the Elders shouted, his voice filled with despair.

They thought they could at least hold the formations during the battle, but it started crumbling before the battle even began.

The cracks kept spreading through the barrier that had covered the Sect. The Formation also started getting weaker until the entire barrier shattered into small pieces, disappearing in the air.

The formation stopped working, and the sect was defenseless.

"Activate the Battlefront Formation! Remember the plan!" A Great Elder called out at the top of his lungs.

At multiple locations around the sect, formations were activated. But these formations had nothing to do with protection. Instead, they were simply to kill.

The Sect even activated the Illusion and Maze formation at the same time.

Elder Lian clenched his fists. "There's no time for regrets! Prepare to kill all intruders!"
