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

It housed the main church of Freya, a sacred place that received unwavering devotion from everyone within the continent. Even the Holy Emperor was said to be a devout believer.

Being such an important city, the Holy City was also the most protected place in the entire Western Continent. That\'s why it had stood for so long, despite being targeted by the Necromancer Tower.

Everyone knew that if the Holy City fell, so would the unwavering faith of the citizens. Those who were at the absolute peak of the world knew how the Holy Priestess was so strong in the Western Continent.

They understood that as long as she lost the faith of people, her strength was going to waver quite a lot. That\'s why, many had been trying to bring down the Holy City.

Still, the Holy City had managed to last for such a long time with absolute dominance.

The entire Holy City was covered in a Holy Domain that didn\'t rely on the Holy Priestess.

It was a domain which was directly connected to the Church that kept it running, using the power of faith. Thanks to that, the Holy Priestess didn\'t have to carry the burden of keeping the barrier working.

With the barrier covering the entire city, a lot of restrictions were placed on the city but the citizens didn\'t care about minor inconveniences.

The first restriction inside the Holy City was that the space was absolutely restricted. Even if another Overlord entered the city, they could not open a spatial passage unless they destroyed the Holy Barrier first.

For the Overlords, it was easy to destroy the barrier and leave. That\'s why the barrier wasn\'t intended for them. Instead, it was intended for everyone else.

The only one who could open a spatial passage on her own inside the Holy City was the Holy Priestess herself.

Using external help, the Cardinals were also able to open the spatial passage, but that was only as long as the Holy Priestess didn\'t restrict them.

It was also because of this restriction that the Holy Priestess used external means to connect a passage to the Holy City to carry the prisoner and the guest back to the Holy City.

It was also because of this barrier that Yelen couldn\'t open the passage inside the Holy City. Instead, she opened the exit passage around hundred kilometers away from the Holy City, keeping enough distance to be discovered.

With the passage opening away from the Holy City, Eren rushed out, still holding the hand of the Sea Dragon Empress.

This was also the first time that Eren wasn\'t personally guided by Yelen, not wanting to be discovered. Instead, he carried the entire pressure on his own physique which was almost on the same level as the Sea Dragon Empress.

The Sea Dragon Empress stepped out of the portal, surprised to find herself near the Holy City. She was slightly curious why it took so long to leave the spatial tunnel if they were only going to travel this small distance.

She wanted to ask Eren, only to stop as she looked at his pale face. She was still holding onto his hands, being able to feel that his blood flow was also in a mess.

Blood trickled down Eren\'s nose, staining his lips red.

"Are you alright?" she asked Eren. She was supposed to be hurt, so why was Eren bleeding? Did the Holy Priestess hurt him while they were leaving? That\'s the only possibility she could think about.

"I am fine." Eren freed his hand before pushing the Sea Dragon Empress away. "I have something else to finish, so wait for me here. I will tell you everything then."

He tossed a small communication crystal to the Sea Dragon Empress. With the Crystal, not only could he talk to her but also locate her. On the other hand, she could not locate him.

As his vision was blurry, he didn\'t even toss the stone right. Still, the Sea Dragon Empress caught him, looking at Eren with concern.

As much as she hated outsiders, she did care about her own people. In her eyes, Eren was even above the Dragons in her empire as he was the Celestial Dragon\'s Heir.

Even though he hadn\'t confirmed it, she had already believed it. She even wanted to ask him about that but he didn\'t appear to be in the right state of mind to answer.

"You should wai-" she tried saying something, only for Eren to use Dragon Tongue even when he was in such a bad condition.

Another portal opened, with the destination being unknown to the Sea Dragon Empress.

Eren entered the portal, leaving the Sea Dragon Empress behind. The portal closed behind him while the Empress could only reach out her hand, only to retract it later.

She was near the Holy City, which was not far from the destination where the Celestial Dragon\'s Heart was supposed to be.

Eren had brought her so close to her destination, yet he told her to stay here. As she didn\'t want to lose the heir of the Celestial Dragon, she hesitated about the thought of entering the ruins alone.

Her mind was conflicted as she looked in the direction of the ruins of the Celestial Dragon.

While the Sea Dragon Empress was hundred kilometers to the north of the Holy Empire, there was another group which was just as far from the Holy Empire but on the south.

It was also a group which was just as much wanted by the Holy Empire as the Sea Dragon Empress if not more. It was the group of Aster and the false Priestess.

Meanwhile, back in the Duke\'s Palace, the Holy Priestess appeared in front of Eren\'s room, accompanied by the Archbishop.
