CH 202

In the April Sea, the Black Fleet was being eradicated. Under the “carpet bombing” of the mysterious fleet, the ships of the Black Fleet gradually sank under the waters. Siren King McMillan reverted to his original form and rose into the sky to make his last stand.

McMillan’s original form was similar to a giant bat, except his entire body was dark blue. He was almost 30 meters long and was many times stronger than an average Hadyn Wyvern.

The Hadyn Wyverns in the sky, seeing the enemy’s “elite unit” appear, hurriedly scattered, before sending forth their own 30-meter long Wyvern King to duel McMillan. Before the battle could begin, Sea Demonic Dragon Amy Beth also transformed into her true form and flew next to the Wyvern King. 

“You… You guys want to fight me together? My gods, do you guys even have any self-respect as demons!”

The Siren King had initially thought that the two enemy elites would duel him one at a time. He never thought that they would ignore the rules and attack together. After Amy Beth flew up, she and the Wyvern King exchanged a meaningful glance and seemed to come to an understanding; the two simultaneously charged at McMillan.

Sea Demonic Dragon Amy Beth was almost 100 meters long. Even in a one on one duel against McMillan, she was a level higher. Now, with the Wyvern King’s assistance, she was like a tiger who had grown wings.

The Siren King waved his giant wings, sending a tornado filled with black qi spiraling at Amy Beth. He was just trying to buy time as he had already decided to flee as soon as possible. Being able to survive a two on one was already good enough.

Amy Beth didn’t even use any defensive magic and simply charged over. A flash of holy light lanced from Amy Beth’s head, which instantly cut McMillan’s ice magic, “Tornado Assault” to pieces.

“This energy is… you guys… you guys are too shameless! To actually… conspire… with them!”  

McMillan was unable to dodge in time, and that lance of holy light pierced his left wing. The pain of antithesis almost caused him to fall into the sea. He saw a silver-haired beauty, a swordsman, sitting atop Amy Beth’s head.

That silver-haired and golden-eyed girl, wore a swordsman uniform, the uniform of a Holy Swordsman of the Radiant Church. The battle had gone from a two on one to a three on one. McMillan immediately turned around and fled. This kind of desperate battle would not bring him any joy or laughter.

Let alone a two versus one, Amy Beth and the Wyvern King had brought along a Radiant Church Holy Swordsman; there was no way for him to fight this. A Holy Swordsman’s attacks possessed an innate holy attribute that already countered the majority of demonic beings. On top of working with other demons, if McMillan wanted to attack Holy Swordsman Cynthia, he would have to defeat Amy Beth first.

The Hadyn Wyvern King, leveraging his superior speed, charged at McMillan from behind, crashing into his body. The two were of similar mass, and with this collision, were both briefly dazed.

Amy Beth took advantage of this and spat wildly, shooting a storm of ice magic onto McMillan’s body. Unable to dodge, he was frozen in midair by Amy Beth’s “Frozen Touch.”

The Hadyn Wyvern King was also stunned from the collision and was falling into the sea. Fortunately, his underlings reacted quickly and flew over to support their king before he fell into the waters.

Standing on the head of the Hadyn Wyvern King, Holy Swordsman Cynthia tightly grasped the hilt of Divine Sword Wagner and raised it over her head. Divine Sword Wagner was one of the six Divine Swords of the Radiant Church and had accompanied Cynthia for many years.

Cynthia, as a veteran Holy Swordsman, was rather uncomfortable collaborating with demons. She had killed countless demons during her time with the Radiant Church and felt awkward with her temporary alliance with Amy Beth.

In the end, Cynthia agreed to work together with Amy Beth, and indeed, only Amy Beth was compatible with Cynthia. After all, Amy Beth was originally the divine steed of the original Sea God; although she had fallen, her body still possessed the air of a divine beast.

Due to this, the Divine Sword Wagner did not reject Amy Beth. After raising her sword, Amy Beth began muttering mysterious mantras while aiming the Divine Sword at McMillan, who had been frozen in midair by ice magic.

“Demon, your sins are far too deep. I will represent the God of Light… No, this is my own; I will give you your final redemption.”

Holy Swordsman Cynthia slashed down, and a pillar of light fired like a cannon from the tip of her sword toward McMillan. This move was a forbidden technique of the Holy Swordsman profession, the “Final Divine Sword” or the “Ultimate Divine Sword.”

At maximum power, this move would be able to level an entire city. Legends say that there once was a Holy Swordsman who destroyed a massive demon fortress with this attack. Of course, this attack required the user to sacrifice their life force. However, Cynthia had already been corrupted and was able to use this move without exhausting her life force as it used up a different kind of energy.

“Wait… Let’s talk this out, I surrender… I will… wait… Despicable traitors… Consorting with the light will not have a good…”

Siren King McMillan wanted to surrender. However, Bella’s group basically didn’t believe in accepting surrenders unless the enemy was a girl. Siren King McMillan was split in half by the “Ultimate Divine Sword.”

“You weakling, still spouting nonsense after losing. You should just peacefully go on to the next life! Also, there is no such thing as light here; everything you saw was fake.”

The Hadyn Wyvern King flew up and shot out a “Light of Destruction,” which struck the two halves of McMillan’s head and exploded them into pieces. Siren King McMillan didn’t even have time to finish his last words before he was killed.

After the “Ultimate Divine Sword,” McMillan’s body exploded like fireworks in the sky, shattering into countless pieces. The last of the Four Great Demons of the New Moon Islands, Siren King McMillan, scattered into the April Sea in a bloody haze.

After the conclusion of the battle on the April Sea, Dulles Isle of the New Moon Islands was conquered by the allied demon army. The remnants of the sirens fled into the great sea. The shipyard on Dulles Isle was also taken over by Bella’s army.

Bella was currently riding on the back of New Moon Demonic Dragon Dorothea. Initially, Bella could fly on her own, but she would have to assume here demon form, exposing her demon king identity and power. 

After her battle with Dark Night Demon King Aggy, Bella didn’t dare underestimate the power of other demon kings. Last time, it was only with the help of the Creator of Light Vianne’s treasure, “Praise of Light,” that she was able to wound Aggy severely.

Bella was afraid to use it again; the risks were too high. If she were somehow put on the World Destructor’s “Blacklist,” it would be over. Ocean Demon King Victoria didn’t summon a demon steed and instead spread six sea-colored translucent wings and floated gently after Bella.

Unlike last time with Dark Night Demon King Aggy, Victoria was wearing a set of sea blue heavy armor. Strange demonic patterns were decorating the armor. Her equipment marked her as a physically focused demon king, instead of magic.

“You… aren’t you Belle? I really couldn’t tell at first that you were actually… say, that demon king is supporting you, I want to talk to her!”

“That… Lord Demon King, I refuse, there’s no demon king behind me.”

“Hng, your wings really are broken, that you dare talk to me like that, didn’t we agree that you wouldn’t call me Demon King? Are you so arrogant that you won’t even say my name?”

“Also, Belle… I know your body is pretty good, but to go to battle wearing that… I don’t understand why Dorothea, along with them, would agree to work with you?”

Bella was still wearing a black bikini as well as black gloves and a pair of black iron boots. Altogether, her outfit became a “bikini warrior uniform.” Compared to Victoria’s severe and seriously heavy armor, it looked like Bella had come to the sea not to battle, but for vacation.

With Bella deliberately masking her power, Ocean Demon King Victoria was unable to discern her true power. Bella had a good reason for wearing a bikini outfit too. In a demon king battle, due to the enormous powers at play, their clothes would eventually be torn to shreds and become extremely revealing.

In that case, she may as well put on revealing clothes in the first place, on her own terms. Furthermore, there weren’t any men in the area. With Victoria’s words, Bella’s mind was made up; she would strip bare and show herself off to Victoria.

“Victoria, don’t be in such a rush, I’m not here to fight. Aren’t we friends! You… aren’t you still wearing the ring I gifted you?”

“Who… who’s your friend? This ring is… I just put it on randomly, stop thinking crazy things, this has no deeper meaning, you’re not allowed to make crazy guesses!”

“Also, what kind of friend are you! You actually… wait, why are you wearing Aggy’s necklace! You actually, with her… Despicable, you bastard! Disappear for me…”

“This is… wait, Victoria, let me explain; there’s nothing between Aggy and me… No, what is there between Aggy and me… Wait, you’re really attacking!”

Bella still had Aggy’s contract necklace around her neck. This was one of her bad habits, taking loot from her conquests and wearing them around for a while. This bad habit was about to get her killed by the furious Victoria!

Bella had a feeling that Victoria was rather interested in the relationship between her and Aggy. Bella wanted to explain, but after some thinking, she realized that she and Aggy really had almost done it. Explaining was basically covering up, and in that case, she would just say nothing.

Ocean Demon King Victoria raised her right hand toward Bella and Dorothea. Before Bella could discern what she was doing, a gale of sea winds tore at her face, almost blowing Bella away.

New Moon Demonic Dragon Dorothea raised a barrier of moonlight colored energy, blocking Victoria’s magic, “Azure Impact.” Since the moon wasn’t out, Dorothea’s power was severely restricted. Her barrier was only able to hold for a few moments before shattering under the “Azure Impact.”

Bella took advantage of this timing and threw a small dark-colored energy ball like a grenade at Victoria. Victoria didn’t notice this small ball until it had almost reached her, and she recognized the hidden attack.

“Dark Wave! Impossible, you actually know a Demon King’s…”

Before Victoria could raise her shield, she was impacted by the “Dark Wave.” The “Dark Wave” exploded on Victoria’s body, and the shockwaves almost knocked Bella off of Dorothea’s back.

This attack wouldn’t kill Victoria; it was merely a basic attack of a Demon King. It was to Demon Kings as Fireball was to Wizards. This kind of attack wouldn’t even be able to injure a Demon King, and would at most cause the opponent some dishevelment. 

After the explosion, Ocean Demon King Victoria’s appearance was truly disheveled. Her sea blue colored heavy armor was “exploded” by Bella. All over Victoria’s body, her armor was missing several pieces, and large areas of armor were missing.

Victoria’s skin, which was originally covered by heavy armor, was no exposed in large expanses of snow-white skin. Similar to Dark Night Demon Aggy, Victoria also wasn’t wearing underwear. It was as if as long as she was wearing heavy armor outside, she didn’t need any underwear.

Victoria floated in half-kneeling position in midair. Although her armor was wrecked, she didn’t move to cover her chest. Her chest armor was only slightly damaged; Bella was only able to see a sliver of her tender breast, nothing more.

“Belle… Are you a Demon King? Isn’t this Dark Wave…”

“Victoria, you misunderstood, I’m only… I just want to be your friend. Please don’t misunderstand, okay? I just want to be the type of friends that sleep together.”

“You… Do you really want only to sleep together, I don’t think so right? Last time when I gave you that Oceanic girl, I knew you were bad… Nevermind, since you’ve exposed your power, then I’ll withdraw…”

“Victoria, you… you brat, why are you even weirder than me! Where’s your Demon King pride? Don’t run, at least give me your contact information!”

A scenario that Bella couldn’t imagine occurred. Ocean Demon King Victoria had actually run away. This beauty had slyly slipped away, leaving Bella, who was pretending to be a ditz, in place. Bella, who had been assaulting the back door, had somehow let Victoria slip out the back.

Bella couldn’t stop Victoria if she just straightforwardly ran away. With no preparation, a fleeing Demon King couldn’t be stopped by another Demon King.

Seeing Victoria’s shadow growing smaller in the distance, Bella was so angry that she stamped her feet. Dorothea, who was acting as Bella’s mount, wanted to laugh but was afraid to laugh. It was rare for her to see Bella fail to conquer a maiden, and if she was discovered to be enjoying this scene and Bella decided to use her as a scapegoat to punish, then she would be in big trouble.

“Don’t miss me too much! Also, I escaped with my own ability, why would I stay? If you have the power, then catch me!”

“Victoria, you just wait, I…”

Bella could only watch as Victoria vanished over the horizon. Inwardly, she planned how she would thoroughly defeat and capture Victoria next time they met.

With Victoria’s departure, the great battle on the April Sea was officially over. Bella’s Mystery Fleet and Phantom Fleet’s combined forces won the naval battle of the April Sea.

The Black Fleet completely sunk beneath the waters, and Siren King McMillan had perished. Now, the original Twelve Demon King’s naval forces had been completely destroyed. A large number of supplies and materials meant to reinforce the southern shore of Sacred River Selma that had sunk into the bottom of the April Sea.

The Deep Sea Alliance’s Deep Blue Fleet was also buried in the waves of the April Sea. This was a result of them seeking their own deaths. After Bella’s Mystery Fleet and Phantom Fleet rendezvoused, they sailed with the wind straight toward the Beastmen’s Priestly Continent’s southern region’s largest port city, Port Brent. 

Port Brent wasn’t a military fort; when the Dark Humans were building Port Brent, they never expected that one day it would be invaded by the enemy. The port only possessed average defenses, and there were no super-turrets.

Bella’s combined fleet quietly sailed toward Port Brent under cover of night. After several days of sailing, Bella was finally going to return to the Priestly Continent.
