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

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Shall I drag the Queen?

Eren watched the scene unfold calmly. Estelina had forcefully brought him here and now she was forcing him to fight? He didn't want to play according to her rules so he created his own rules.

She was the host and he was a guest. He simply made her fulfill her responsibility of being a good host. He pretended to not understand why she was so upset as she was tossed up in the sky.

Estelina saw the Sky Sword falling over her. Or rather, she was tossed at the sword like a toy. With the sword this close, she couldn't dodge it even if she wanted to.

She controlled her body which started glowing with a radiant light while she summoned her own spiritual energy, creating a spiritual sword in her hand.

She swung the spiritual sword which appeared like a child's sword in front of the sky sword. But despite the appearance, her sword managed to cut the Sky Sword in two halves.

In the sky, there was a massive explosion of spiritual energy that brightened the sky.

The Spirit Guards on the wall shielded their eyes from the blinding light. When the light faded, they finally opened their eyes and looked at the woman hovering in the air.

The woman was unharmed but she appeared visibly furious.

The sky sword had shattered into countless fragments that rained down, but before they could touch the ground, they dispersed in the air and merged with the Spiritual Energy around them.

"C-captain..." A guard stuttered as he watched the woman with a pale face. "Don't you think that woman... looks like the Saintess?"

Captain Ley's eyes narrowed. "She doesn't just look like her. She is her."

"Lower your weapons!" He commanded his men before flying towards Estelina.

He could feel that he was going to get some scolding for making the mistake of attacking her. But he also couldn't be blamed. He was prepared to explain and beg her to not tell this to the Spirit Queen.

Ley thought that Estelina was furious at him. But he was somewhat surprised when she turned towards the Phoenix instead.

"You!" Estelina, now free from the immediate threat, turned her sharp gaze on Eren.

Her eyes burned with anger and she appeared as if she truly had been wronged. She wanted to see his strength, but instead she had to reveal her own strength.

A man was supposed to protect a woman. Eren was supposed to treat her with care, not use her as a shield. What kind of man was this guy even?

Eren did not react to her angry gaza. Instead, he was surprised himself. He didn't expect her to be this strong. She was even stronger than a Great Elder.

If that was the case, then how strong was the Spirit Queen? Was she as strong as an Overlord? Or was she even stronger? He had a lot of thoughts at the moment.

"Now that we have taken care of that 'weak attack', shall we continue on the journey?" Eren didn't even offer an apology and simply asked her to accompany him to the city.

"Are you even a man?! How can you use a woman as a shield?!" Estelina landed on the Phoenix's back, scolding Eren like a wife.

"Why would I need a shield for such a weak attack?" Eren responded, focusing on the attack being weak, which were her own words.

"I can't believe Xiu Ying fell for someone like you. All you can do is hide behind a woman!" Estelina rolled her eyes, trying to insult Eren.

"Is that supposed to provoke me?" Eren shrugged nonchalantly. "How can you be so old and still use such childish taunts?"

Ley stood in the sky and looked at Estelina and Eren arguing back and forth. For a moment, he couldn't even believe his eyes.

Was this still the same woman who didn't even spare a second glance to any man? And now she was engaging with one with such intensity?

What was more shocking was the fact that she appeared to be upset with him, but she wasn't even trying to kill him. Is this what they call love? You want to kill them, but at the same time you can't?

"Ah, Captain. I think your definition of love might be a little wrong," The young Spirit Guard who accompanied Ley chimed in, scratching the back of his head.

"Don't try to teach me. I have more experience than you," Ley scoffed while flying closer to the Phoenix.

'But Captain, didn't your wife run away on the first night itself?' The Spirit Guard weirdly looked at Ley's back.

He accompanied Ley who stopped only a few meters away from the Phoenix.

"Lady Estelina, welcome to the Border City. And I would like to apologize for the attack. I didn't expect it to be you. I would accept any punishment."

Ley lowered his head apologetically. He reached out his hand and grabbed the head of the Spirit Guard who was standing silently. He lowered his subordinate's head as well.

'Why am I apologizing? Wasn't it you who attacked?' the young Spirit Guard thought in the back of his head but he didn't resist.

Estelina felt like her temper was only going to keep increasing if she kept talking to Eren. It was fortunate that Ley attracted her attention at that time.

"Hmph, it's fine." She turned to Ley who was standing with his head down, despite being older than her.

In the Spirit Realm, age didn't decide the hierarchy. Estelina was the daughter of Spirit Queen. Even if she was young, she was still above millions and below only one; her mother.

"You were just doing your duty. There is no need for punishment."

"I thank the Saintess for the mercy." Ley raised his head and freed his subordinate as well.

"Saintess, the person next to you... Is he a human?"

"He is someone that my mother needs to meet. You don't have to worry about him," Estelina reacted. "Just open the gate to the Capital."

"Right away." Ley wasn't in a position to Question Estelina. He simply turned and flew towards the City which had already removed the barrier.

The Phoenix followed after Ley.

....

A majestic black tower existed in the Northern Continent, surrounded by death throughout the year.

"Hell's gate will be opening soon. Go to the Spirit Realm and prepare for more sacrifices." A voice rose in the depths of the Necromancer Tower.

"Shall I drag their Queen as well? She will make for a good sacrifice," another voice came, accompanied by a cold cackle.
