My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Devouring the Divine?
Eren looked behind, finding a man that he had seen before. His expressions turned darker at the sight of the person especially since this was someone that he had met before.

It was someone who knew him as an Elder of the Great Demon Sect, also the one who had felt his Sword Emperor’s Aura. More than the identity of the person, Eren was surprised by what he represented.

As it was this person, he was certain that he was not in the Southern Continent Anymore. He was not in the Eastern Continent either.

The man was dressed in a pure white robe that was covered in golden symbols of the Holy Church. He had short blonde hair that matched perfectly with his similarly colored pupils.

He appeared no older than thirty, shrouded in divine energy.

He was Archbishop Nathaniel that had come to the Eastern Continent, carrying the invitation from the Holy Priestess.

He was quite strong in the Eastern Continent itself but in the Western Continent, his strength had touched a completely new realm as he was under the protection of their goddess.

That protection only lasted inside the Domain of the Goddess, which was the entire Western Continent.

That’s why those from the Western Continent rarely left the continent unless absolutely necessary. That’s also why they hadn’t actually invaded the Northern Continent despite their enmity.

Eren would like to believe that the man was again visiting the Eastern Continent but it was clear that it wasn’t the case. Just the amount of divine energy around him was enough to prove it. It couldn’t be carried to another continent.

Even Eren had not expected an Epic Tier Escape Talisman to be so strong that it could bring him to an entirely different continent.

It was similar to the life saving treasure of the Main Character of the Eastern Continent which had made him that confident.

“I asked you a question. In the holy land, how dare you attempt such a heinous crime?” The Archbishop asked, holding on to a golden staff that was as large as him.

Eren hadn’t seen him with that staff before, but he could feel that the staff was making him even stronger. It was definitely a treasure of the Western Continent that seemed to have some divine energy inside it.

“No, don’t hit him!” Eren suddenly exclaimed, reaching out his hand towards the Archbishop, as if trying to protect him from someone.

Stunned, the Archbishop suddenly turned around. The moment he looked back, he was taken aback as there was no one behind him.

“What are you-”

Thud~

Before he could finish his sentence, a rock struck the back of his head with a bang, knocking him out.

With a thud, his body fell on the ground while the rock crumbled in Eren’s hands. Fortunately, the priest wasn’t physically strong like Sera.

“I can’t believe that there are still people who fall for such an old trick,” Eren pondered as he reached out his hand to pick up the golden staff, only to notice that the grip of Nathaniel had tightened around the staff.

The golden energy around his body healed his body, making him open his eyes.

“You do not repent. You do not deserve the mercy of Goddess Freya. Please enter the cycle of reincarnation and come out as a better person in your next life.” Nathaniel said as his body started rising in the air, supported by the Divine Energy.

“And here I thought, I wouldn’t have to kill you,” Eren watched Nathaniel rise in the air. If it was him from the time he first met Nathaniel, he really would have thought about escaping.

Now, it was different. So what if Nathaniel was stronger at his home than when they first met? He was also stronger now. If anything, he had become much stronger ever since he crossed the second and third great wall of leveling.

An Archbishop in the Holy Church was strong, but they weren’t as strong as the Cardinals or even the High Archbishops.

By Eastern Continent’s standards, a Cardinal was roughly equivalent to the Ancestral Elders in the Great Demon Sect. The High Archbishops were comparable to the stronger Great Elders.

As Nathaniel wasn’t a High Archbishop yet, then his strength could still be considered at the bottom amongst all Archbishops.

Hence, even with the Protection of the Goddess, Nathaniel had only reached the level of a Great Elder in comparison, and that too barely.

At first, he didn’t want to seriously hurt Nathaniel as they didn’t have much enmity. That’s why, he only tried to knock him out. However, with him using his divine energy, it was only a matter of time before others came around.

He didn’t have time to be gentle with him anymore.

“You should have kept sleeping.” Eren said, letting out a sigh. Under his breath, he used the Dragon Tongue to further remove his physical limitations, including increasing his speed.

“A sinner like you doesn’t have any right to-” Nathaniel said, only to come to a sudden halt as he looked down.

Eren had disappeared from the distance. At the same time, a dragon-like claw was coming out of his chest.

Eren floated behind him, as if standing in the air just like him.

“As I said, you really should have slept. Then I wouldn’t have to do this. I hope you don’t blame me when you enter the Cycle of Reincarnation you talk about.” Grabbing his heart, Eren pulled out his claw.

“I really thought that you would be our guide when we came here on the invitation. Looks like they’ll have to arrange a new guide for us,” Eren mumbled under his breath as Nathaniel looked back in disbelief.

“Y-you are…”

Looking back, all he saw was Eren taking a bite of his heart while his vision turned darker.

As his body started falling down, he heard one fleeting sentence.

“I wonder what’s stronger. The Divine Protection or Devouring?”

“Hmm?” As soon as Eren took the first bite of Nathaniel’s heart, the Holy Priestess suddenly opened her eyes while the statue in front of her trembled.
