In the southern regions of the Corestel Continent, on the streets of the campus of Kerklav Academy located in Austin City, the southern main city within the borders of the Gabriel Empire…

Bella and two witches, who were pretending to be princesses, were walking on the streets without any vigilance. They weren’t afraid of the imperial soldiers surrounding them.

In the clouds above Austin, over a dozen Sky Demons had gathered. These were transformed demons under the command of Sky Demon King Dolores. They were ordered to come and support Demon King Bella. Although they had come with good intentions, with Demon King Bella’s strength, there was no need for support at all. These Sky Demons were mainly here as the scapegoats, just like the previous Armored Demonic Warbear. All the responsibility fell on the demon after they killed the target and fled.

The Sky Demons’ combat prowess could completely blow the Armored Demonic Warbear. They were elite members of troops often dispatched by the Darkness Sacred Region. The Sky Demons were about ten meters tall and had a pair of wings on their backs. Their powers were a mixture of angels and demons, quite similar to the fallen angels. Their strength was equivalent to six-winged angels. Those four-winged Fighter Angels would be powerless against the Sky Demons.

The Sky Demons were wearing ancient black armor that covered their entire bodies; one could hardly see their eyes. A super big Sky Demon standing at nearly twenty meters tall took the center. A dark red flame was burning in place of its eyes, and there were no wings behind it, almost floating in the air. There was an enormous pitch-black sword covered in scarlet hell flames in its right hand.

This guy was Sky Demons’ commander, Ancient Tyrant Bellard, one of the strongest non-human demon commanders under Sky Demon King Dolores. He could tear an Archangel with his hands and fight on par with twelve gods. When he was ordered to come here, he was still a bit dissatisfied with Demon King Dolores. However, when he saw Demon God Angel and Evil God Mia by Bella’s side, he was scared into submission. He only listened to the strongest, not the weak.

“Demon King won’t let us go on the stage. Really, why is Demon King troubling herself with this small matter? She can leave it to us.”

“Bellard, it’s already weird that you sneaked in here without getting noticed. Just wait here patiently! Look at the sky and the clouds; how beautiful it is!”

“Falal, no one will consider you an idiot if you don’t speak. Aren’t you Blood Demon King Eleanor’s subordinate? Why are you here? This human empire doesn’t even have a mage. Why are so many high-level commanders dispatched here if there is no black magic?”

Besides Ancient Tyrant Bellard, there was another high-level demon commander here, Ancient Ghost King Falal. The ghost had the same height as an average human. Under the sunlight, he looked like the holy spirit mentioned in the Radiant Church’s sacred writings. However, it was a disguise. Ghost King Falal was mainly responsible for controlling the Demonic Eye and scouting from the sky. This time, he came here to join in the fun.

While the two demon generals were feeling bored, something happened. They saw a large group of Bone Dragon Knights flying over and all kinds of skeletons and zombies on the ground in the distance rushing towards Austin. This looked like a standard Undead Scourge. Generally, an Undead Scourge occurred at night.

However, the real Undead Scourge wasn’t restricted by day and night. The Necromancers chose to start the Undead Scourge at night because they were too weak and needed the night’s power. If the necromancers had enough energy, they could start an Undead Scourge in the daytime.

“Falal, something’s up. These demons are not from our side. Quickly inform those damn bears (Armored Demonic Bears) in the woods to stop basking in the sun and get to work.”

“Bellard, I think I have to ask Demon King for more instructions. What if they are friendly?”

“Falal, your IQ is pretty low. Why would the Sacred Region send us to deal with these rotting skeleton soldiers? Don’t lose our Darkness Sacred Region’s face for these inferior demons. If you want to report, go ahead, but I’m not waiting for you. Let’s go, my servants!”

Ancient Tyrant Bellard stretched out his right hand holding the sword, while a ball of dark red flame appeared in his left palm. Immediately, many skeleton soldiers with bone wings appeared behind him. Apparently, all the angels who had died at Bellard’s hands had been refined into skeleton warriors. Despite appearing similar to the skeleton soldiers on the ground, the gap between their combat power was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Bella was still strolling in Kerklav Academy’s campus, having no idea that her men were already facing demons belonging to other forces outside. She was missing the scene of demons fighting against each other in broad daylight. At the moment, Bella’s attention was wholly focused on the strange atmosphere that had slowly permeated the campus of Kerklav Academy.

“Princess Clivini, Princess Kriss, this is the City Lord’s office area. You have to leave the swords outside. We will keep it for you for the time being.”

Behind the student union office on the campus, the Imperial Army soldiers patrolling here asked Bella and the others to hand over their weapons. Princess Clivini and Princess Khalifa complied with their orders without giving it a moment of thought. Their actions made the Imperial Army soldiers secretly laugh at the two princesses for their lack of vigilance and falling to their tricks so easily.

However, they had no idea that these two princesses were Succubus Queen Aisha and Demon Empress Samith in disguise. Their weapons weren’t swords at all. As for who would be killed later, it was still to be seen. Bella was disguising as their secretary, and naturally, she too was taken to the door of the student union president’s office.

“You can’t enter! I will take you to the waiting room!”

“Alright, then!”

Bella was temporarily separated from the two demonesses’ men. She asked Aisha and the others to find out about the city lord while Bella herself pretended to be helpless as she was taken to another place by that soldier. When Bella entered the campus, she wasn’t carrying any weapons. The Imperial Army soldiers mistakenly took her as a pure civilian student who couldn’t put up a fight. They didn’t raise their guards against her.

At a corner, the imperial soldiers, lying in ambush, jumped out and took out a mask-like thing to cover Bella’s mouth. Bella was a master at this technique, so how could she fall for such a trick? She stood still, but the many parts of the shadow under her feet instantly caught the ambushing imperial soldiers.

“Okay, playtime is over. Your rebellion skills are awful! You are too anxious. Moreover, the dosage on the cloth is insufficient. It can only put someone in a coma for a moment.”

“Who… who are you? You can actually control the shadows!”

“I am just a passing masqueraderâ??no, a passing villain, that’s all!”

The imperial army soldiers were terrified. The shadows below their feet seemed to be under someone else’s control. Since their shadows had been captured by someone else, they couldn’t even move an inch. Bella nonchalantly bent over and picked up the linen cloth originally intended to cover her mouth. She then put it over her nose and sniffed it a few times before commenting that the amount of sleeping potion used was too small.

“Okay, tell me the truth. Where did the students go? I could care less about where you troops are!”

“We are the soldiers of the Imperial Army. You won’t get anything from us. A little girl like you can’tâ??”

The imperial soldier trying to put up a brave front was dragged into the ground before he could finish, leaving quite a bloody mess. The other imperial soldiers trembled in fear. Even a soldier who had experienced bloody wars would be scared to death at the sight of such a horrifying scene.

“I see. Next, what do you have to say!”

“You… you are a devil! How can you use evil moves?”

“I’m tired of hearing this. Next! Well, you look so scared that you can’t even speak. I will ask someone else.”

“No, don’t kill me. I… will tell you!”

The last Imperial Army soldier was so scared that he almost peed his pants. So, he immediately spilled the beans. Bella might look like a little girl, but she was a demon in their eyes. They weren’t killed by her but the Shadow Demon, Shadow of Abyss, living in Bella’s shadow. The Shadow of Abyss was a demon of Abyss that resided in a Demon King’s shadow. It specifically executed enemies who the Demon King was too lazy to kill, swallowing its target directly.

Prince Brad, brother of Emperor Alfred the Third, was behind the Imperial Army occupying Austin. He didn’t want the emperor’s blind date plan to succeed. Thus, he came up with a plan to kidnap the princesses, making Princess Kriss unable to participate in the blind date. The guy’s supporter was the Kristoff Empire in the western part of the continent, as well as the members of the Darkness Church. The dark atmosphere in the Kerklav Academy and the smell of strange magic beasts were the work of the Darkness Church.

In order to conquer the Kerklav Academy, one of the twelve human academies, Prince Brad took great pains and exhausted all means and methods. He took advantage of the absence of student council president, Princess Clivini, and the college’s elite, who had gone to participate in the twelve human academies’ Summer Exchange Tournament. First, he found a reason to transfer all the teachers and boys in the academy to the imperial capital for blind date activities.

After the boys and teachers left, he occupied the academy right away. Having arranged someone to use the name of the Imperial Army, and with the support of the Darkness Church, Prince Brad successfully controlled the Kerklav Academy and the girls staying there. The entire academy had fallen in his hands because of their total lack of vigilance.

According to his plans, when Princess Kriss, who had returned to the academy, was tricked and captured, she would be secretly placed under house arrest to stop her from participating in the blind date. After Bella learned of this, an embarrassed look appeared on her face. This Prince Brad was obviously half a friend. Part of his purpose was the same as Bella: preventing Kriss from participating in the blind dates. Had he discussed with her earlier, they would not have this embarrassing situation of friendly fire.

“Madam, that’s all I know. Please let me go. I’m just following orders.”

“Hmm, I see! Next, well, there is no next. Goodbye then!”

“Madam, I told you everything. Please forgive meâ??”

Bella turned and left, letting the imperial soldier to be completely swallowed by the shadow. Since everyone was killed, it wasn’t a friendly army anymore. As Bella gently stamped her right foot, the shadow on the ground divided into many parts and flew in different directions under Bella’s will. It was going to deal with the Imperial Army on the campus.

According to her information, Bella walked to an empty area. She then stretched her hand out and pushed away the weeds on the ground, revealing a six-pointed magic array. It was the magic array of the Darkness Church. The darkness aura over the magic array was pretty obvious. There was a strange insignia on the ground.

Bella had to deal with the Darkness Church many times. Two of the three holy maidens of the Darkness Church, Dark Holy Maiden Liz and Netherworld Holy Maiden Livina, were both conquered by her. She had succeeded in instigating them into their own eyeliner. As a result, the symbol on the ground was quite familiar to Bella. It was the insignia of a Darkness Church’s holy maiden.

Since it did not belong to Liz and Livina, Bella speculated that this was the insignia of the last holy maiden of the Darkness Church. Sure enough, she had intervened in the politics of the Gabriel Empire on behalf of the Darkness Church. Bella employed the deciphering magic she had used on the two holy maidens of the Darkness Church to easily break the restrictions of the six-pointed magic array. She then entered the stronghold of the Darkness Church hidden here. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

There was no basement under the Kerklav Academy. This area was a Dark Domain opened by the human forces in a parallel world. Just from the fact that she could skillfully operate the Dark Space and Dark Domain, she was the last holy maiden of the Darkness Church. Talent-wise, she was definitely better than Dark Holy Maiden Liz and Netherworld Holy Maiden Livina. However, that changed when the latter surrendered to Bella and submitted to the Demon King. Their strength had been multiplying, and by now, they had surpassed that holy maiden.

The visibility of the Dark Space was very low, as the energy here was full of dark elements. Normal humans would find it challenging to even take a step here. Bella was a Demon King, though, so she wasn’t afraid of these dark energy elements. After all, the dark elements in Bella were of much higher purity than those in this Dark Space. Out of awe, the dark elements here didn’t even dare to approach her.

This Dark Space was modeled on a dark dungeon. The torches illuminating this place were burning with black flames, which reduced the visibility even lower. The visibility was so low that one couldn’t even see their fingers. Bella promptly activated her Demon Eyes that had amazing night vision. Now, everything was as bright as it would have been in the daytime. She could see her surroundings clearly. The dark environment had no effect on her.

Bella soon found the girls staying in the Kerklav Academy. They were all imprisoned in the dungeon inside the Dark Space. Bella saw many beautiful girls held in the iron-fenced cells of the dungeon. All of their clothes had been corroded by the dark elements here, leaving only their smooth, snow-white bodies shivering in the dark environment.

The girls happened to be hanging in their cells with their hands tied behind their backs by heavy black metal chains. Their feet barely touched the ground, standing on tiptoes. A metal collar was tied to their necks, and the chain was connected to the roof. The girls seemed to have been imprisoned here for some time already.

A poisonous black snake was coiled around every girl in a perverted posture: its head was resting on the girls’ chest. Every time the snakes flicked their tongues, they would tickle the red cherries on the girls’ chest, making the captured girls shiver in fright. As the snakes had been slithering around their bodies, their motion gave rise to a weird feeling in the girls’ hearts; strange sticky water stains could be seen under their feet.

Although the girls had their eyes covered by black bandages and their mouths gagged by black balls, which made it difficult for Bella to clearly see their expressions, all these swordswomen were on the verge of passing out from fright. More than two thousand swordswomen staying at the Kerklav Academy were secretly imprisoned in the Dark Space dungeon. It would not have been made possible without the intervention of the Darkness Church.

Bella also caught sight of the Darkness Church members and the demons who were taking care of the imprisoned girls. The members were all dark nuns, and their clothes were relatively erotic. They were just wearing a black cape type windbreaker on the outside and a hood covering their heads. Underneath, they were completely naked. They didn’t even button their clothes, laying their beautiful white figure bare to the outsiders. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

The dark nuns also had a dark-golden inverted cross necklace hanging on their chests. Anyway, there was no point in wearing this, as their clothes would ultimately be corroded by the dark elements in the Dark Space. It was better to keep it simple. Except for these dark nuns, Bella didn’t pay attention to those magic beasts. After confirming that there was no man here, Bella breathed a sigh of relief. At least, she had not suffered a loss.

Now, Bella had started looking for that holy maiden of the Darkness Church. As long as she defeated her, the Dark Space and the dark cells could easily be dealt with. More importantly, Bella had her own ax to grind. She planned on secretly learning the ultimate trick of creating a dark cell. Once she mastered it, she could form an even more erotic dark underground cell.

While searching for the dark holy maiden, Bella ran into someone that caught her by surprise. The Darkness Church’s lineup was almost a copy of the Radiant Church’s. Apart from a holy maiden they were short of, everything else was the same, from heirs to the pope. Just like the Holy Swordsman of the Radiant Church, the Darkness Church also had a Demonic Swordsman. And Bella had run into the Demonic Swordsman of the Darkness Church.

“Madam Demonic Swordsman, we have lost contact with the imperial officers on the ground!”

“Understood! I will report it to Madam Fallen Holy Maiden!”
