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

If the Necromancer Tower won, the Hero Academy was going to get rid of their enemies, the Demon Sect, without even having to move a single finger.

If the Necromancer Tower was destroyed, it was still going to leave the other two forces extremely weak. At that point, the Hero Continent could destroy them, conquering the four continents.

The Hero Academy had the motives, as well as the ability to achieve something like this.

'Finally you are doing something useful.'

Even though Anya was not a good person, Eren still complimented her in his mind. She was muddling the waters, which tossed the blame at the Hero Academy.

If the Necromancer Tower war could drag even the Hero Academy into this mess, then it was even better. Even though he didn't need any blood of the Southern Overlord, it was still good to have the Southern Continent weakened.

"It is quite possible. That might also explain how they managed to survive." Leo also couldn't reject the possibility, looking back at Ruby and Eren. "After disguising himself, the person from the Hero Continent wanted to leave behind a witness that could confirm that the Cardinal did it."

It meant that Ruby wasn't lying. She actually saw the Cardinal. The only difference was that the cardinal wasn't real but a mere illusion.

"Unfortunately, there is one problem." Anya chimed in. "If it truly is the work of the Hero Academy, then we are effectively fighting a war on three fronts. Can we really face the onslaught of the Hero Academy at an important time like this?"

For now, the only thing that made sense was to not fall for the trap. Even though the Major Families might ask for revenge against the other forces over the death of their leaders, they couldn't fall for it.

"We need to control the Major Families and then ignore this provocation," Leo suggested.

Anya simply scoffed at his answer. "Isn't that cowardly?"

"We don't even know for sure if it was actually the work of the Hero Academy or not. At this point, it's still just a possibility, no matter how likely." Leo stated, still being a little skeptical.

"We need to focus on the most important task at hand, which is the involvement of the Demon Sect. The Warship in our territory isn't an illusion! You saw it as well!"

Unlike Anya who was more short tempered, he was thinking about the future. Hell was about to open. They had to take care of immediate threats to their main goal.

As for taking care of the Hero Academy, it could happen after Hell's opening.

"Master, what do you think?" Anya asked the Left Guardian.

Before the left guardian could answer, Leo also intervened. "Even the Left Guardian can't decide alone on the matter of such grave importance."

"If not my master, then who can decide? Your master, who is nothing but a guard dog of the door?" Anya fiercely retorted as her master was being looked down on.

"You!" Leo clenched his fist. If Anya's master wasn't here, he would've certainly slapped that girl right here.

He took a deep breath and continued in a venomous tone, "Only the Tower Master can decide! Or are you implying that your master is bigger than the Tower Lord? Is that your devotion towards the Necromancer Tower?!" freēnovelkiss.com

"I-i never said that! Stop making things up!" Anya was absolutely flustered.

In the Necromancer Tower, the Tower Master was considered the absolute authority. He was no different than a god in the Necromancer Tower. Even her master couldn't disrespect the Tower Lord.

Even though outsiders said that the two Guardians were only slightly weaker than the Tower Lord, the people of the Necromancer Tower knew better.

The difference between the two Guardians and the Tower Lord was the same as the difference between heaven and earth. If the Tower Lord was offended by her words, then even her master couldn't save her.

Seeing that Anya and Leo had already started spitting venom towards each other, Eren was simply enjoying the spectacle.

He had roughly understood the inner working of the Necromancer Tower. It was definitely something that he could use for his own benefit.

"That is enough!" The Left Guardian spoke, putting their back and forth to an end.

She raised her hand. The bodies littered around the surroundings were sucked by an unknown force, entering her spatial treasure.

The entire battlefield, which was filled with corpses, was cleaned up in an instant.

"It is true that only the Tower Master can decide. It is also true that the involvement of the Hero Academy is only a possibility for now. We would need to confirm the possibility before deciding on anything," she told the two youngsters.

"How will we confirm?" Anya asked. "Is there a way?"

"Did you forget who we are?" The Left Guardian asked Anya. "If we want to confirm who killed them, then we just have to ask. It is the easiest solution."

She looked in the direction of Ruby and Eren, as if intentionally making them hear her words.

"There is someone who can bring them back to life as undead. Although they will be undead slaves, they can still keep their memories and answer. It's only a matter of time before we know who actually killed them."

Eren's face showed no reaction even as he heard her words. Still, his hands behind his back had tightened into a fist.

The Necromancer Tower was being unnecessarily thorough even though all the evidence had been arranged for them. And now, they were planning to turn these corpses into an undead to question them?

"We are going back," Left Guardian said while her gaze remained unmoving from Eren, a glint of interest appearing in her eyes for some unknown reason. "You two will be coming back with us."

For the first time, Eren failed to control his emotions. He couldn't stop a frown from momentarily appearing on his face which didn't go unnoticed.
