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

Chapter 401: Chapter 401: First Law of being a Villain

"Why did you save her?" The Cardinal asked Eren as he flew towards him. However, Eren did not answer and simply flew past him.

Eren's Pegasus soared through the sky, racing as fast as it could. Meanwhile, the Cardinal followed him, growing increasingly confused.

Was Eren planning to attack the Kiel Family directly because of this girl? If that was the case, the Cardinal couldn't have been more pleased.

Suddenly, the Cardinal's expression darkened as he watched Eren's Pegasus descend. Eren then jumped down from the Pegasus, leaving the girl behind on the beast.

The ground trembled as Eren landed safely, blocking the path for the Guards of the Kiel Family that were rushing back to inform the family.

The Cardinal intentionally let them run away, wanting the Kiel Family to know about their appearance. He didn't expect Eren to chase after them.

"This guy..." He frowned, watching Eren draw out a sword from his storage ring.

It wasn't the Sword Emperor's Sword but another Sword that Eren had received in the Great Demon Sect, being a treasure in itself.

Before he could even blink, he saw Eren appear behind the Guards, his back facing them. Slowly, a thin red liquid appeared on the blade of the sword, slowly dripping on the ground.

The guards rubbed their neck, still in disbelief as they felt a sharp pain rise. They wanted to look back, but their bodies were beyond their control. The world itself turned upside down as their head rolled off their bodies, falling on the ground.

They had thought that the Cardinal was dangerous, but this young man was even more incomprehensible for them. Even when they died, they didn't understand just what actually happened.

Even the Cardinal was taken aback. How was Eren so fast? It was on the verge of teleportation. If he didn't know that Eren was from the Demon Sect, he would have even wondered that Eren used some superpower from the Southern Continent.

Subconsciously, he rubbed his neck. He wondered if he could have reacted fast enough if Eren had attacked him with the same speed.

Eren's Pegasus landed behind him, still carrying the girl who was looking at him in disbelief. She had heard Eren tell him that he was from the Demon Sect, a force that was comparable to the Necromancer Tower.

Even then, she was surprised at how easily he took down Kiel Family's guards with just a sword.

Eren used the clothes of the Guards to clean the blade of his sword before keeping it back in his storage ring. Only a few seconds after that, the rest of the bodies of the guards also fell down with a thud, blood spilling everywhere.

The Cardinal also landed on the ground, not far from Eren.

"Why did you attack them?" he asked. "And who is this girl?"

"A better question would be, why did you let them run away?" Eren asked the Treniel, walking closer to the Cardinal.

Treniel narrowed his eyes, thinking that Eren was scheming to attack him. He was extremely cautious to have Eren approach him.

He also stepped down from the Pegasus, landing on the ground. "We are not here to kill random people. We are here to take the envoys back from the Kiel Family."

"I am new to the Northern Continent, so it makes sense for me to not know about it. However, shouldn't you be aware about the attire of the Kiel Family, if you have a spy planted within them?" Eren asked, tilting his head to the side.

Initially, he wanted to use the Cardinal against the Kiel Family, keeping him alive as long as possible. However, things are different now.

Fey was involved, and maybe even stronger people from all over the Northern Continent. He couldn't carry a dagger that might backstab him at any time. For now, Treniel was just an uncomfortable variable that had to be removed.

"Are you implying that they are guards of the Kiel Family? It is impossible. The Guards have a different attire as far as I remember." Treniel acted ignorant, keeping his hands behind his back.

A dagger materialized in his hand, made purely from the Holy Essence. As long as the dagger struck a person, it could leave them paralyzed, no matter how minor the wound.

"Ah, that makes sense. They must have changed their uniform recently. No wonder you didn't know about it. It seems I was overthinking." Eren slapped his forehead, apologizing to the Cardinal.

Shaking his head at his foolishness, he turned around.

The Cardinal didn't know how to react. Should he attack Eren? Or should he kill him right now? He felt a little hesitant. After some time, he decided to go with the original plan. And the dagger in his hand disappeared.

The moment that dagger disappeared, his body froze. He saw Eren turn around at a speed that was barely noticeable to him.

He quickly jumped back, watching the silver blade coming for his neck. Barely, by the width of a hair, he managed to dodge Eren's sword.

The dagger again materialized in his hand. At the same time, holy chains came out of thin air, wrapping around Eren's body. He was trapped in the chains like a prisoner.

"You really shouldn't have attacked me. I wanted to let you live a little longer, but it seems that it would no longer be necessary." The Cardinal narrowed his gaze, stepping closer to Eren.

He aimed the dagger at Eren's heart, only a few millimeters of distance left between his dagger and Eren's skin.

The two people that were working with each other, had suddenly turned on one another. Ruby was at a loss as to what was happening. All she knew was that Eren was a good person. She didn't want him to be hurt, but she couldn't even save him.

She was a little confused as to why Eren didn't seem worried. He was simply looking at the Cardinal in pity. Was he pretending to be strong? She wondered.

"Don't you know the first law of being a villain?" Eren asked the Cardinal.
