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

Eren clashed swords with the younger brother of the Holy Emperor. He realized that defeating Uriel too easily would only undermine that the Royal Family's prestige, which was counterproductive to his plans.

He had also noticed that the Holy Emperor had arrived. The clone was standing on a nearby roof with Xiu Ying and the others.

The clone had to jump in to take the lead, but it had become impossible. The sheer impact of their swords clashing was causing destruction in the surroundings.

Eren's clone couldn't afford even the slightest of injury. That's why Eren simply wanted to put on an act between the two of them when fighting with his clone.

Unfortunately, his clone was left out of the false battle because of Uriel.

Eren tried to create some distance between himself and Uriel to grant his clone an opportunity to safely jump in, but Uriel didn't stay away for even a second.

'He's persistent,' Eren thought, frowning.

The younger brother's attacks were growing stronger with each passing second. Eren could see why this guy was the strongest ally of the main character of the Western Continent in the future.

Unfortunately, this person had become an obstruction in his plan.

Even though it wasn't the situation that he had planned, he decided to use it to his advantage. Even though the target was different, but he still had to make it a grand spectacle.

As they continued to fight, Eren subtly guided their duel toward a more public area. He wanted witnesses. He needed the people of the Holy City to see this battle, to see the Royal Family's strength.

He began to alter his fighting style, allowing the younger brother to land a few blows. He could easily use Dragon Tongue to end this battle in an instant, but he doesn't even try to do that.

Many people were so shocked by the destruction of the Holy Church that they didn't even wonder why a Necromancer was so strong even when fighting with a sword.

The attacks were not fatal for him, but they were enough to make the duel appear more balanced. Eren wanted Uriel to believe he had a chance, to push him to his limits.

The clamor of their swords began to draw a crowd that watched the buildings being destroyed from far away, understanding how strong a Necromancer could be. And that was when he didn't even use his magic.

Many citizens of the Holy City were scared, wondering if the city was going to fall today. Although the battle looked balanced, they didn't have confidence in Uriel.

The Necromancer could single handedly destroy the Holy Church after all. Even though Eren took some attacks, making the battle look more fierce than it was, many people thought that he was just playing with his prey.

"You can defeat him, Lord Uriel!" Suddenly, amidst the scared crowd, one voice rose up to motivate Uriel.

It was the voice of a child. Although the child was scared, he was still cheering for Uriel.

As if his words ignited the hopes of the crowd, many more voices started rising.

"Lord Uriel, defeat that bastard!"

"Kill the demons of the North!"

Various different chants rose up, each siding with Uriel.

Stay in the loop with m-vl-em-pyr

Seeing the response, Eren felt quite pleased. If he wasn't putting up an act, he would've really burst into laughter. This was exactly what he wanted.

People were starting to put their faith in the Royal Family, now that the Holy Church had let them down.

Uriel's attacks became more aggressive. Eren started getting pushed back, albeit intentionally.

"How are you so strong?!" Eren exclaimed at the top of his lungs, making sure his voice reached far and wide.

His words slightly surprised even Uriel. He didn't understand why this person was suddenly being so loud.

Even though he was fighting while giving it his all, there was a constant nagging feeling in his heart that something was amiss. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand what this feeling was.

His attack pushed back Eren by at least ten feet, a sword wound appearing on his chest. Normally, his wounds would've healed normally but Eren used the Dragon Tongue to keep the wound from healing.

To make the situation dramatic, he needed it.

"I thought everyone in the West would be trash like those Priests. It seems that I underestimated the Royal Family! So you are the true protectors of the West! You have kept yourself hidden for far too long!"

Eren roared once again, being heard far and wide.

"I accept that I have underestimated you. This time, I can't kill you. But even you can't stop me from escaping. The next time I arrive, it will be with an entirely army! I will see how you will resist!"

Eren stabbed his fingers inside the wound on his chest, letting him bleed more.

He tossed the blood on the ground before he started running away.

"You think I will let you escape?" Uriel exclaimed, understanding the significance of that threat. He couldn't let the person escape.

He ran after the Necromancer, only to be stopped by demonic creatures that were transformed from Eren's blood on the ground.

The creatures attacked Uriel to keep him busy, allowing Eren to run away. Eren was running away while his blood clones kept Uriel busy.

Even if Uriel killed clones that had intentionally taken the face of demonic creatures, but it wasn't fast enough. Eren could already be seen flying away.

"Do you think my city is a garden? You can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want?" A voice was heard across the entire city.

It was the voice of the Holy Emperor, who had appeared in front of Eren to block his path. No one knew that the person speaking was not the clone but Eren himself, changing his voice back temporarily.

Eren also used his Dragon Tongue to create a bright golden sword in the sky which hovered above the clone's body, making it look like it was the work of the clone.
