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

Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Foolish

Every single instinct within Eren's body was warning him of danger. It was as if his instincts were screaming at him to take things seriously.

If the person wanted to kill him, then he could only survive by giving it his all. If he wanted to hide his abilities, then he could only die before he could even react.

It was a feeling that he didn't have even when he faced the Lich in the Spirit Realm. The person who had arrived was at least one rank higher than the Lich, maybe even the best Tower Master himself.

He had expected the Necromancer Tower to send someone on the level of the hall master at best, especially since they were supposed to be busy in the preparation of Hell's opening.

To his surprise, someone on the level of a Guardian had arrived. Was it because the disciples of two Guardians were here? He wasn't sure.

Fortunately, it didn't appear as if the woman was planning to attack him. She didn't even release her aura or Ruby truly might have died this time.

For Ruby, it was as if a normal woman had appeared behind her that was no different than a mortal. If it wasn't for Eren's sharp instincts, he might not have noticed her strength either.

For now, Eren even felt slightly relieved that he hadn't tried to kill Anya and Leo. If he had done that, then he couldn't leave before the arrival of this monster.

'She is suppressing her aura. Just what is she planning? Is it simply because she doesn't want people to die under her suppression?' Eren wondered in silence.

The woman was different from Anya. If she released her aura, not just Ruby but every survivor in the city might die. This was a true disaster level being of the Necromancer Continent.

If an expert wanted to hide their aura, only those who were on a similar level or higher than them could notice it.

He understood that he couldn't let her know that he was able to notice her strength, or it might be impossible to explain how he could sense something that even Ruby couldn't.

"Who are you?" He calmly looked back, without a single surprise in his expressions. He pretended to not notice anything strange about the woman until he turned.

He wanted to reveal his surprise only after seeing the woman's attire of the Necromancer Tower. However, to his surprise, she wasn't wearing any attire that could be linked back to the Necromancer Tower.

Her clothes weren't lifeless like those worn by the members of the Necromancer Tower. Instead, her clothes were so colorful that they appeared a little childish.

Her appearance was quite different from the presence that he had sensed.

The woman was wearing a blue skirt that barely covered her thighs. Her sleeveless top had a singer shade with a rainbow taint at various locations. The top covered up to her neck, not even revealing her shoulders.

Looking at her appearance, Eren wasn't able to guess her exact identity. The information about the Necromancer Tower was extremely limited. Even the genders of the two Guardians weren't known.

"I have been working for the Kiel Family for quite some time. I don't remember seeing you before. Who are you? What is your purpose in approaching the lady of the house at a time like this?"

As her attire didn't give away her identity, Eren didn't have any choice but to change his plan. If she didn't want to be recognised as a member of the Necromancer Tower, then he could only play along while hoping that he didn't seriously offend her.

He picked up a nearby sword quickly, like a servant that didn't have any experience in holding a sword before.

From his movements, it became extremely clear that he wasn't a warrior. He was just a servant who was extremely loyal to the lady of the house.

The woman tilted her head, observing Eren silently.

She didn't do anything but look at him, but still Eren felt the urge to actually call out a treasured Sword and attack the woman. The sense of danger was just this strong, especially since she was so close to him.

He was already prepared to use his acceleration if she tried something.

Ruby also stood up, looking at the woman suspiciously. She hid behind Eren, showing how much she trusted him. Her actions left no doubt in anyone's mind that she was

"With your foolishness, it's a surprise that you managed to survive so long," the woman said as the corner of her lips crept up.

She slowly raised her hand. Her movements were so slow that even the most ordinary person could see it clearly, but at the same time they were so fast that it was impossible to catch up to her movements.

The woman lightly placed her finger on the tip of Eren's sword. Although the sword wasn't a high grade sword like the swords Eren received from the Demon Sect, it was still a decent sword made from a mid rank material.

Despite all that, the sword started disintegrating, slowly turning into dust from the point that was touched by the woman. The decay kept spreading towards the hilt as if it was a poison that was slowly spreading throughout the body of the sword, destroying it.

Before the decay could reach the hilt, Eren tossed the sword aside. Before the sword could even fall on the ground, it decayed completely and disappeared into the nothingness.

Eren had finally gotten a glimpse into the abilities of the woman. He finally understood why he felt a greater sense of danger from her than he felt from the Great Lich of the Necromancer Tower.

She didn't even need to wound someone. She just had to touch them and she could destroy their body. Unless someone sliced their poisoned limb off, it was impossible to survive.

He wanted to test if the Holy Aura could resist that poison but in front of the woman, he couldn't display any abilities. He could only watch the sword disappear.

"To think that so many half decent warriors died, yet those who raise their swords without knowing their own abilities survived." The woman shook her head lightly, reaching out her hand towards Eren's cheeks.
