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

Eren was quite surprised that the woman had managed to recognize Treniel, even when his face was almost completely destroyed. She didn't even need to verify his Holy Insignia to confirm that he was from the Holy Church.

At this point, Eren felt like it was truly a waste to leave the Holy Insignia on this man's body. If he was going to be recognized in any case, then he could have saved the insignia and used it in the future for himself. Unfortunately, it was too late for that now.

'Then again, she recognized him, but the two youngsters are different. They needed to be spoon-fed this information,' Eren tried to convince himself to lower the amount of regret he was feeling at this point.

"How strange. With the kind of personality he had, he never would've come here for something like this."

Distracted by Insignia, Eren had forgotten something really important. Treniel wasn't just any ordinary Cardinal in the Holy Church.

Even if he wasn't the strongest Cardinal, he was known for being extremely close to the Holy Priestess. For a suicide mission like this, it didn't make sense for the Holy Priestess to send him alone.

Even if she looked down on the ordinary forces of the Northern Continent, it was still too much of a risk for her to send Treniel.

Another problem was related to Treniel's personality. He was extremely cunning. Even if he wanted to kill the leaders of the Major Families, he never would've faced them at the same time.

He was the kind of person who was known to scheme a lot, trying to find the most efficient method to kill people if there were too many of them.

Why would someone like him face them alone at the same time? For the Left Guardian, this didn't seem like his work. Instead, it was as if there was someone else, who had perfectly created this beautiful scenery to create a false image.

She went down on her knees, touching the neck of Treniel, his head lying nearby. The mark on his neck made it seem as if he was pulled in a single strike.

"If he was fighting, he would've used the Holy Aura to protect his vitals. None of the Family Heads are strong enough to slice through that holy aura in a single strike."

He retracted her hand with her thoughts being impossible to read.

She could see that something else was at play. Treniel hadn't died in a brutal battle that the scene was depicting. Instead, he had died in a short and swift battle which didn't even give him a chance to use his strength.

"The time of death is also different. He died before the family heads?" The Left Guardian stood up, coming to a conclusion that stunned Anya and Leo.

The left guardian had been a part of the Necromancer Tower for a long time. She had seen and studied death for most of her life, which allowed her to have a distinct perspective.

It was this ability of the Necromancer Tower that Eren had overlooked. These people dealt with the dead all the time. How could they be fooled by something like this?

"How could he die before the others? That doesn't make sense." Leo wasn't convinced with her words.

If he was to believe her explanation, then the entire situation was too absurd. She was implying that there was someone strong enough to kill a Cardinal of the Holy Church.

Not only that, but he was also able to kill all the Family Heads in a fight. The person achieved all that while making sure that no one actually saw him?

"Moreover, the girl of Kiel Household has confirmed that she saw the Cardinal fighting. How can she be wrong about the person that killed her family?" he further asked. "Are you implying that she is lying?"

"That is certainly a possibility." The Left Guardian glanced at Ruby, who was so far that she couldn't hear their conversation.

Eren was next to her, hearing everything. Still, he acted as if he didn't hear anything.

"Either that, or the person has an ability to shapeshift. That would explain why people saw Treniel here," the Left Guardian gave another possibility.

She had seen many crazy things in this world. What wasn't impossible? In this world, only imagination was the limit. There were so many things that she herself didn't understand, so she could only believe.

Hearing her assumptions, Eren was absolutely shocked. In reality, he hadn't disguised as the Cardinal when he was fighting the Family Heads, because everyone who was nearby was already dead.

No one actually saw him fight. Even Ruby was too far to see him clearly.

The Left Guardian had tossed out two entirely assumptions, but to Eren's surprise, both were accurate. Ruby was lying. At the same time, he also had an ability to shapeshift, which was his secret.

"The ability to shapeshift and someone strong enough to kill a Cardinal? Could it be a Hero?" Anya asked, taking a rough guess.

The Holy Church wouldn't scheme against their own Cardinal like this. The Necromancer Tower also wasn't responsible as all higher ups of the Necromancer Tower were within the Tower itself.

That left only two sides. The first side was the Demon Sect and the other was the Mythical Hero Academy.

Amongst the two of them, it made sense for this to be the work of the Hero Academy. Firstly, the Heroes had abilities that could make this possible.

The second reason to believe that it was the work of the Hero Academy, had something to do with the alignment of the Demon Sect.

It was said that the Demon Sect was working with the Holy Church. In this case, the one who benefited the most was the Hero Academy.

If the Necromancer Tower attacked the Holy Church, the Demon Sect was going to get involved in the battle as well.

In the battle of three continents, the Hero Academy could play the kingmaker. They could either side with the Necromancer Tower in exchange for something. Or they could just sit back and watch the three continents weaken themselves.
