My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 427 - : Job of a Leader

Eren instinctively stepped back, avoiding the touch of the woman. Even if it was for an act, he couldn't allow her to touch him.

He had already taken a lot of risks to keep up this act. Anything more than this was dangerous. If she touched his face, then he couldn't even chop it off to protect himself.

The woman stopped trying to touch Eren's face, as if she was only trying to teach this foolish young man a lesson.

"That is better. Weak people need to have this fear. Only then can they live longer."

She walked past Eren, who intentionally didn't react fast enough to her movements. He slowly turned around, noticing the woman standing in the distance, looking at the sky where the two youngsters were fighting.

"From one fool, on to the other." She shook her head, sounding a little more frustrated this time.

It was said that the Holy Church had attacked the Kiel Family. Even in a situation like this, two idiots were busy fighting amongst themselves?

She raised her hand. Her movements were very graceful, in stark contrast to her attire.

"I have been honing this skill for over a year. I hope you will not blame me if you die..." Leo raised his sword high, a powerful and frightening aura of death flaring up from his sword.

The aura was like a dark flame that rose high in the sky, creating a shadow of an illustrious sword in the sky.

"You might have to be reborn twenty times before you can kill me." Anya stood in the sky, ten kilometers away from Leo. She also made a gesture, summoning her own weapon.

The shadow of a two headed snake appeared above her, being just as big as the shadow of the sword.

The two of them had been in a subtle enmity with each other for a long time. It had finally come to a point like this where none of them was willing to go easy on the other.

Defeat was not an option for them as the result of this battle could very well decide the next top ranking family of the Northern Continent.

Even when Eren was far away from them, he could still feel the power hidden behind the two attacks. Unfortunately, he felt that there was quite a big flaw in those attacks.

Both of them were consuming their life span to increase the strength behind their attacks. Although the attacks could become stronger by burning their life force, in the end, it was only going to hurt them.

"What?"

Anya and Leo were about to attack when they felt a strange sense of dread rising within their heart. The shadows above their heads were destroyed by an unknown force before they could even complete it.

The two of them looked at each other in disbelief. Before they could even process it, they felt the unknown force grab their ankles.

With great force, they were pulled back to the group. They couldn't even control their bodies, as if they were just toys in front of this force.

The earth trembled twice as two bodies fell on the ground, one after another. Two large craters were created with their fall, not far from each other.

The fall was enough to shatter the bones of even powerful warriors, but the two youngsters cast a protective magic around their bodies at the last moment.

Even with the protective barrier, they felt pain as if a few of their bones were cracked due to the fall.

At first, they had thought that this was the work of hidden enemies, but the remnant of that power didn't feel like it belonged to the other Continents.

"The envoy is here." Lying in the middle of the crater, Leo rubbed his forehead. "Out of everyone, it just had to be her."

"Oh? Do you have a problem with my arrival?" Leo heard a woman's voice who was standing behind him, looking down on him.

Hearing her words, Leo felt a chill run down his spine. He had just finished complaining in a voice that was barely audible. Despite that, it appeared as if the voice reached the woman.

"Why would I have a problem with your arrival?" Leo forced his body up. "It's just that I thought that you would have more important things to do, like my master."

Anya also climbed out of the nearby crater, growing surprised to catch the glimpse of the woman.

She jumped inside Leo's crater, respectfully greeting the woman. "Master, you are here!"

'So it's the left guardian. No wonder she is strong.' Eren didn't approach the crater, only listening to the conversation through his heightened conversation.

Although Leo wasn't outright disrespectful to the Left Guardian, his words were very sharp. He didn't forget to imply that his master was more important than her to the Necromancer Tower.

"You are right. I don't have anything to do, since I have people like your master to take care of things for me," the Left Guardian said, not hiding the smirk on her lips. "That is what a leader does. They give work to those below them. Don't you agree?"

"Hmph." Leo didn't respond to the woman. He could disrespect her in thousands of ways for disrespecting his master, but he understood that she might actually kill him if he went too far.

Even though she was smiling while talking to him, there was no guarantee that she wasn't going to kill him the next second if he didn't stop.

He jumped out of the crater, leaving the two girls behind, his expressions being slightly twisted. Anya had an upper hand now, as her master was here. Things had truly become much worse for him.

Anya followed her master out of the crater, telling her everything about the incident. She only hid a few things about her conduct, especially regarding her killing the Leader of the Kiel Family Guards.

She also escorted her master to the corpse of the Cardinal, which was the only evidence left behind.

"This is... Treniel?"

Just a single glance at the corpse and the girl was able to guess the exact identity of the Cardinal, which even surprised Eren.
