My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Overlord Killer
The Author sighed again, his gaze fixated on the crystal knife in Eren’s hand.
“The knife in your hand… It is a weapon.”
Eren looked at the man weirdly. Was that even an answer? Of course a knife was a weapon. Was that even needed to be mentioned?
“Why do I feel like you are cursing me in your head?” The man asked with a grin.
“You are wrong. I already filled my quota of cursing you the first time we met,” Eren shrugged. “Now, can you be serious and tell me what this thing is?”
“Fine. Let me clarify. When I said that it is a weapon, I did not mean an ordinary weapon. There is a reason the Hero Academy is after that weapon.
Can you guess why?”
“Because it is a weapon of mass destruction?” Eren took a random guess. He could not feel anything special from this knife, but it did not look like a weapon of mass destruction.
“You are wrong. That weapon can only kill one person and it can only be used once. Now take a guess again? Why is the Hero Academy so serious about that weapon?”
“This…”
Eren went silent in response. He thought of a possibility. It was the only possibility that made sense to him.
“Is it a weapon that can kill an Overlord?” he asked, still in disbelief.
If this weapon could only kill one person, then there was only one such person that the Hero Academy wanted to protect at any cost. It was Mist, the Overlord of the Southern Continent.
The man revealed his surprise at Eren’s guess. “I really thought you were going to take a long time to reach that conclusion. Not bad.”
“You are correct. That weapon is something that can kill any of the four Overlords, including Mist. It can even kill Feng Yu, if you are interested in that.”
A smirk spread across his lips as he gauged Eren’s reaction.
“So how about it? Why don’t you use it to kill Feng Yu and take over the Overlord Position of the Eastern Continent?”
His words were like devil’s whispers, trying to sway Eren.
“Can it also help me steal their abilities when I kill them?” Eren asked, feeling that something was wrong with the man’s words.
He only said that the weapon could kill someone. Even if he killed Feng Yu for some reason, wasn’t he going to paint a big target on his back?
Without strength to protect himself, it was the worst choice. Moreover, if Feng Yu was to die, the entire Eastern Continent was going to be in danger.
If the other Overlords attacked the Eastern Continent, it was only a matter of time before the Devil Sect was going to fall.
Killing Feng Yu was no different than making things hard for himself.
“Tsk.” The man clicked his tongue in response. “You are too cautious. Can’t you be more ambitious?’

“Ambitions without strength will lead me to my death. I have no interest in dying, just to entertain you. Tell me, can it steal powers?”
“If it could steal powers, do you think it wouldn’t have been used already?” The man clarified.
“Anyway, I was just messing with you. Even if you wanted to kill Feng Yu with this, you wouldn’t be able to. That knife is incomplete. So it can’t be used yet.”
“You…” Eren was at a loss of words. This man was truly messing with me.
“In that case, isn’t this just a useless knife with potential?”
“Until you complete it, that is correct.” The man nodded.
“How can I complete it then?” Eren asked.
The knife looked like it was complete. At least its physical form was complete. But something was still lacking.
He did not know who made a knife like this. A treasure that could kill the Overlords?
If one could create a knife like this, they could have created another one as well. So why was it that no Overlords had died in the past? Did even the creator not know how to complete it?
“That isn’t a question I can casually answer. If you have another Question Voucher, why not use it?” The Author asked, even though he already knew the answer.
“Do you think Question Vouchers fall from trees?” Eren said with irritation. He had only one question voucher and it was already used.
“The Hero Academy did not create this knife, did they?” He changed his question. Even if the completion method was unknown for now, he still wanted to know as many things as possible.
He did not believe that the knife belonged to the Hero Academy. If they created it, they should have known that it was incomplete. In that case, why were they so worried?
It only pointed towards one conclusion. The knife was not created by them. So the person who died… Was she running from them instead?
Things had become a lot more complicated in an instant. With the knife, he was standing at the opposite end of the Hero Academy.
He could try to return the knife, acting innocent. But he knew that it was foolish. The Hero Academy and the Demon Sect were enemies.
If the Hero Academy received the knife and found a way to complete it, who were they going to use it on? The answer was clear.
He could not let the Hero Academy get his hands on the Knife at any cost.
“It was created by the Divine Church. You can guess their reasons, I’m sure.”
The man did not reject this question and answered without hesitation. It was only the really significant questions that he refused to answer without being forced.
“The Divine Church, huh. It seems they were planning to kill the Necromancer Tower Master. Interesting.”
The Divine Church was the organization that ruled over the continent of West. If the Southern Continent was called the Continent of Heroes, then the Western Continent was called the Continent of Gods.
According to his limited knowledge, Holy Priestess Evangeline was the strongest existence of the Western Continent. She was said to be blessed by the gods and could even talk to them.
