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

520  Chapter 520: Across the Three Continents

If this had happened in the past, the Royal Guards would never have dared to forcefully enter the Holy Church, even if it was just a branch. However, the situation had changed drastically.

The Holy Church had been weakened. Meanwhile, the Royal Family had become even stronger.

Not only did the Royal Guards enter the Holy Church branches simultaneously, but they also arrested the Priests.

While arresting the Priests, many of them had expected resistance, wondering if the Priests had actually lost their strength or not. To their pleasant surprise, it turned out to be true.

The Priests couldn't offer even the slightest resistance in front of the Royal Guards.

In the past, the Priests had lorded over the Western Continent, as if they were the true rulers. It was only now that they realized the true authority belonged to someone else.

The Royal Guards had taken action simultaneously, ensuring that the news couldn't spread to other branches.

The Royal Family's influence had extended across the entire Western Continent. Even those who had been loyal to the Holy Church previously, realized that the winds of change had blown.

They regained their loyalty towards the Royal Family and turned against the Holy Church, which had seemingly fallen for the trap of the Necromancers.

While the Holy Churches were being raided, the news about the Holy Emperor's defeat of the Necromancer had also been spreading.

The Holy Church had been losing its standing in the eyes of the people, while the Holy Emperor was rising. The people's faith was shifting with each passing moment.

With the sudden disappearance of all the Priests, there was no one who could stop these rumors.

With people's faith increasing in the Holy Emperor, Eren had started gaining the power of faith, without even realizing.

It was a power that was different from the source of his holy essence which depended on the fate of this dynasty.

After the Holy Church had been destroyed, Eren hadn't lost his holy essence. However, it had still weakened somewhat as did the fate of the Holy Empire in the absence of its protectors.

As the Holy City used to be protected by the Holy Barrier, no spies could enter the city without permission from the Holy Church or Emperor.

That still didn't stop the spies of other Continents from making their place in other cities across the entire continent, especially in cities closer to the Holy City.

The spies also came to learn about the story of the Holy Emperor which surprised them. The most surprised amongst them were the spies of the Northern Continent.

Did the Necromancer Tower really infiltrate the Royal City and attack the Holy Church directly? Why didn't they know anything about it?

They realized that something was extremely wrong. They started gathering more information about the incident and managed to uncover many things.

Even though the Royal Guards tried their best to keep everything under wraps, it was impossible to keep it completely hidden.

Those who were prying into the movements of the Royal Guards had already learned about the fact that the priests were being arrested by the Royal Guards.

Normally, the priests would have resisted. However, they couldn't find any signs of resistance. It was as if the Holy Church had completely lost the strength to resist.

The spies also learned about the absence of the protective barrier around the Holy City. Many even tried to infiltrate the City directly to test the barrier. They easily managed to enter the city without the slightest of resistance.

The spies weren't sure if it was a trap set up by the Holy Emperor and Priestess to lure the Necromancer Tower to attack the Holy City directly.

They conveyed the information that they had gathered to the Necromancer Tower. Even if it was a trap, it was for the Necromancer Tower to decide what to do with this information.

The spies of the Demon Sect, and the Hero Academy weren't behind either. They had also gathered just as much intelligence, conveying it to the Overlords behind them.

The Overlords of the other three continents had received the information at almost the same time. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Was it a trap set for the Northern Continent? Mist and Feng Yu thought the same thing. They couldn't believe that a single Necromancer might have hurt the Holy Priestess.

Both of them knew just how strong that woman actually was, especially within the Western Continent.

The Necromancer Tower Master was also wondering about the information that he had received. For a trap, this was too simplistic.

He was sure that he hadn't sent anyone from the Necromancer Tower to attack the Holy City. How could the rumor about his organisation fool him? He had a feeling that something else was going on.

It might actually be related to the person that had escaped from his hands last time. If that was the case, it meant that Ren Necroline was in the Western Continent.

His eyes revealed greed, as he thought about going there personally. However, he soon dropped the thought. Hell was going to open within a few days. He didn't have time to spare others.

As for finding Ren Necroline, it was going to be even easier after he returned from Hell.

No matter how far Ren Necroline was going to run, he couldn't run from the person that was waiting for him within Hell.

When that person returned, it was going to be the end of Ren.

"Not long... The wait is almost over..." the Necromancer Tower Master said, looking at the gates of Hell that had almost completely opened.

.....

While the Royal Guards were conquering the Holy Church branches, and bringing the collected artefacts to the Holy Emperor, Eren was sitting in front of the Holy Priestess.

He made the Holy Priestess wake up from her deep slumber.

The Holy Priestess started coming to her senses, finding it harder to breathe. She abruptly opened her eyes, feeling the pain in her chest.
