CH 446

At the Aldridge Empire’s seaside resort spot, at the coastal area of Oldrango City, Ota Town on Alan Island. This area has already come under the control of the Blood Race. After sending off Kriss and Ariel, Bella tried to summon a few of her fellow Demon Kings over. She used a rather forbidden spell and did not summon Blood Demon King Eleanor and the others directly over, but rather only connected their minds to herself with a special medium. 

“What’s the matter, Bella? Eleanor and I were playing some rounds with the other two Demon Kings. They really aren’t up to par. They’ve already lost a few games.”

“Uh, Dolores. I found traces of the Blood Race here. I may have to summon you guys later to stir up something. If there are many Demon Kings, then it will be hard for the Saviors to judge which one it is.”

“Got it. Just call us later.”

Sky Demon King Dolores and Blood Demon King Eleanor were currently having a delightful time playing four player mahjong with Ocean Demon King Victoria and Dark Night Demon King Aggy. When they received Bella’s call, they were very quick to agree to come give their support later. If there are many Demon Kings on the field, then the aura they leave behind will be chaotic. Most Saviors can’t distinguish between the auras of Demon Kings when three or more are mixed in. Even if Bella was fighting a “dark vs dark” fight, she still had to make some preparations.

Large numbers of higher-ranking Blood Races have already appeared in Ota Town, both male and female. In terms of their looks, each of the guys were incomparably handsome, but there was also a demonic charm mixed in, just like the handsome vampires in shoujo mangas. Based on Bella’s observations, basically none of the female tourists visiting Ota Town could refuse the blonde-haired blue-eyed vampire hotties. Once they bite onto their hooks, they’ll end up following them in a trance.

There were female vampires too, and all of them were well dressed up like the top gals in brothels, noble ladies, or young mistresses. There were all sorts. Many men were bewitched and lost their minds. Just a single beckon or a wink had them going off with the vampires. Bella scanned the area with the Savior’s system and found that other than her, there wasn’t a single system-type Savior around Ota Town.

System-type Saviors, it seems, have all received missions and gone to investigate the Skull Island near Alan Island, which is the source of the souls lost at sea. It was said to be inhabited by powerful demons. While the other Saviors are off on the “thousand-man dungeon”, the Blood Race have made their move in advance on the girls visiting Ota Town.

Bella had also received a task to crusade against the tyrants at sea or something. Only, her system mailbox had long been stuffed full of the tasks shoved on her by the Eighth Fate, so Bella wasn’t able to see the latest task at a glance. Naturally, she had no idea that this thousand-man activity was going on. Based on her style, even if she did see it, Bella wouldn’t have gone. After all, she wasn’t a real system-type Savior. If she pops up around them too much, she may end up risking exposure, so it was better not to go.

Bella didn’t attract the attention of the Blood Race standing there. After getting in contact with the God of Creation, Bella was quickly able to secretly learn a godly skill: “Perception Barrier” magic. With the help of this magic, no Blood Race could see Bella and they continued to fool the visitors at the town without fear. Bella summoned an invisible Energy Devouring Insect. This kind of Abyssal Demonic Insect is able to devour all the magic power of a barrier, causing the barrier to eventually collapse.

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

“Go, little guy! Help me eat up that glass!”

Seemingly understanding Bella’s words, the Abyss Devouring Insect nodded its head like a human before quietly rising up into the air. Just like an explosion, it burst out into many copies in mid-air. These almost transparent Abyss Demonic Insects quickly plastered over the light-blocking barrier like moths and began quietly sucking up the energy.

Bella followed the people who were lured by the vampires and quietly went to Duke Wagner’s Manor at the center of Ota Town. Right now, the illusion barrier around Duke Wagner’s Manor no longer worked on Bella so she could see the true appearance of the building. This wasn’t a human duke’s manor at all, it was the nest of vampires.

The true Duke Wagner must have died many years ago. Due to the harassment the Aldridge Empire suffered at sea from the Oceanic Race these recent years, they were already semi shut off from the coastline. As the no.1 tourist spot, Alan Island was actually presently closed. Other than the Twelve Academy Tournament, the empire did not pay much attention to the Alan Island’s changes, so they naturally did not know that Duke Wagner had already been swapped out by one of the Blood Race.

Bella was able to sense a strong blood smell from the Blood Race’s Lair before even going in. She had mistakenly entered one of the Blood Race’s blood feasts last time so she could still tolerate this sort of smell. During that time, Bella wasn’t able to stay for too long due to the sudden siege of the system-type Saviors, but these ones really don’t know how to hide themselves. The first clan’s Chief Elder had just been taken out by the Savior Army, and now it didn’t take long for them to come out and cause trouble again.

This place is the Blood Race’s banquet sanctum. You could see pools of fresh blood everywhere, and the humans led here by the Blood Race were held separated, with men being treated as general fodder. On both sides of the hallway at the entrance to Duke Magner’s Manor stood a row of black metal cages that held the men that were lured here. These men were all skinny to the point where they looked like skeletons and their faces were all gaunt and emaciated. Bella had no idea whether they were sucked dry or drained. One after another, those Blood Race beauties were more and more unrestrained. They could almost compare with succubi.

None of the captured men were killed. They were just thrown here as food. What the Blood Race wants to collect are blood servants responsible specifically to supply blood. Whether the gender of the Blood Race master was male or female, the blood servants are destined to be female. This is the tradition of the Blood Race. Men can only be tossed here to waste away.

The beauties who were tempted here were also divided into two categories. Blood servants can only be transformed out of young virgin girls. Those who were no longer pure were stripped naked after simple treatment and were hung at the side to be nurtured as high quality food. Bella had only come to intervene because she saw that many Augustus Academy girls were abducted.

Augustus Academy’s uniform is very recognizable. The uniforms were basically decorated with either metal gears or potion bottles. This academy mainly taught students specializing in alchemy and magic doll manufacturing. Their actual battle ability was lacking, but they had strong magic power, so it wasn’t unreasonable for them to catch the eyes of the Blood Race.

If these alchemists were to fall into the hands of the Blood Race, the consequences will be serious. The only thing Bella can be thankful about is the fact that the Augustus Academy’s Student Union President was not here. The beautiful alchemist president had just been moved over to Bella’s fleet this morning to pay a visit to Frederica Academy’s student union president, Caroline, averting a disaster.

At the edge of one large pool of blood, the beauties who had been lured here took off all their clothes after being hypnotized, then they were each bound upside down on a cross with black blindfolds over their eyes and a black ball of cloth stuffing their mouths. By the time they sobered up, they were already done for.

At the wrists and ankles of the beautiful girls were metal hoops with barbs that cut into their fair white skin. Drip by drip, the fresh blood of the beauties dripped down along the special grooves and flowed down the inverted cross. There was a golden goblet specially put there to collect their blood.

Bella seemed to have seen this sort of play from one of the Vow Breakers, the Blood Queen. This is probably a hobby for all of the Blood Race. She didn’t think about rescuing the girls for the time being. Bella finally saw Duke Wagner, the man behind the scenes, sitting at the table at the very heart of the room. To be precise, he was a Blood Race acting as Grand Duke Wagner, and was a Grand Duke level vampire. He may be a scourge in the outside world, but he was no different from any other Blood Race in Bella’s eyes.

The vampire Grand Duke Wagner was dressed in a black suit like a proper gentleman, just shy of a gentleman’s cap. The Grand Duke’s complexion looked weak and pale, as if he was an albino man without the slightest rosiness behind his skin. He had long blonde hair and blue eyes surrounded by deep dark circles. Bella couldn’t be sure whether it was from his death energy or if he just lacked sleep. Other than the pair of fangs at his lips that no longer needed to be hidden, Duke Wagner still had an appearance that was considerable to a normal human handsome middle-aged uncle’s style.

This Vampire Grand Duke was entertaining several human companions, one of whom is a handsome guy with short white hair. There were some similarities in his appearance to the royal descendant of the Bridges Kingdom, Last Princess Brehanna. He should be the new leader of the restoration forces of the Bridges Kingdom taking Brehanna’s place, Last Prince Brizig. How did this guy hook up with the Blood Race? Bella was a little curious and quietly headed closer.

Duke Wagner had set up a blood feast for Prince Brizig and his party. Bella felt that this hospitality was a bit too insincere. Prince Brzig and his men weren’t even of the Blood Race. Sitting in front of the large table full of blood-filled wine glasses and all sorts of exotic food, Prince Brizig and his men just looked at each other. They didn’t even know how they should complain. It was clear enough that Duke Wagner intended to “eat alone”, so why leave out a table of food? Not like they can eat it anyway.

“Duke Wagner, have you seen our cooperation plan? As soon as the Twelve Academy Tournament opens up tomorrow and the students enter the venue, you can activate the boundary and control all the students!”

“His Excellency Prince Brizig, everything is set on our part. However, other than the few girls, the rest are to be handed to our disposal. I have not encountered so many beautiful blood servants in more than a year.”

“Other than the powerful nobles such as the princesses, you may do with the others however you wish. I want to use them as hostages to threaten the Human Continent.”

So it turns out these two guys are discussing evil plans. Duke Wagner was trying to catch more human females as blood servants while Prince Brizig merely wants to restore his kingdom. By kidnapping the princesses of various empires as hostage, he will be able to use them as bargaining chips. This princess kidnapping plan has long been used by Bella, but in a different way. Bella’s “kidnapping way” was just a little special and could have the kidnapped princesses fall into indulgence.

However, since Bella was here, she won’t let them succeed. The Twelve Academy Tournament was going to begin tomorrow. She can ignore everyone else, but Duke Wagner was destined not to live past today. Bella cast her Demon King summoning magic secretly and got the four Demon Kings on standby summoned over to help.

The main ones fighting are going to be Blood Demon King Eleanor and Sky Demon King Dolores, as well as Bella. The two Old Demon Kings, Ocean Demon King Victoria and Dark Night Demon King Aggy, only had to sit and watch. They still weren’t considered allies with the New Demon Kings like Bella, but the main reason Bella summoned them here was just so they could disrupt the aura to avoid the detection of the Savior Camp afterwards, and did not need them to fight for now.

The translucent boundary that was constantly over Ota Town finally collapsed after its energy was devoured by the Abyss Demonic Insect Race’s Energy Devouring Insects. The destruction of that barrier was just like the destruction of the ozone layer. When the ultraviolet light from the sun hit the ground, it quickly wiped out all the evil Blood Race.

Those low-ranking Blood Race members were unable to withstand the sunlight at all and issued painful screams under the sun’s rays, after which they quickly fell into the ground and formed a puddle of blood. Just like the evil undead creatures, as they disappeared, the illusion magic disappeared as well and the true face of Ota Town was gradually revealed to the outsiders.

“This energy is…Demon King! That’s not right, this isn’t the aura of the Demon King who’s working with us.”

“Grand Duke Wagner, bad news. The defensive barrier in the sky has broken. The sun…The sun is…”

“Damn it! His Excellency Prince Brizig, please make yourselves comfortable. I must meet with that Demon King now!”

“Don’t bother, I’m right here.”

The entrance to Duke Wagner’s manor was directly shattered by energy. Blood Demon King Eleanor stood with six bright crimson-colored wings behind her and dark red Demon King Armor. She had a red demon mask worn on her face so others couldn’t see her true appearance. However, Eleanor’s figure and long hair had already revealed her gender.

Grand Duke Wagner’s complexion instantly changed. The Demon King working with them was a man, but the Demon King who invaded this place was clearly female. Demon Kings are temperamental creatures and can turn on their friends at any moment, it was common to see them leading their cooperative partners to their deaths. Even more infuriatingly, Prince Brizig had already run off without a trace along with his men. He’s really “giving him face” isn’t he? He allowed him and his subordinates to make themselves comfortable, but they really up and ran.

“Sir, we don’t seem to have a contractual relationship, do we? My contract is with…”

“I don’t mind if you’re working with another Demon King. ALright now, you can rest in peace…No, you can rest forever now!”

“Stop her! I’m going to find that Demon King!”

As Grand Duke Wagner gave the order, even if the Blood Race around the place were all scared to death, they still did as he said and pounced over from all directions, attempting to stop Blood Demon King Eleanor from advancing by overwhelming her with numbers. Naturally, such attempts are futile. Without even making a move, a mist of blood had already sprang out around Eleanor. The blood almost seemed to be alive as they turned into sharp thorns and stabbing all the Blood Race to death in mid-air.

The Blood Race who were being attacked by the blood mist were all drained into dry corpses as if they were having their blood sucked instead. It was a bloody scene. Many sober human slaves fainted out of fear after seeing this terrifying image. Grand Duke Wagner who knew he was no match for this Demon King was just planning to transform into a bat and escape, but he was stopped by a bright light that fell from the sky.

A large hole had unknowingly been opened up on the ceiling of Duke Wagner’s Manor. Sky Demon King Dolores stood there with dark purple armor, holding a golden book in her hand and standing at the opening. She flipped open the golden book in her hands and opened her mouth slightly, seemingly reciting some sort of song. It was a melody similar to the hymns of the Radiant Church which instantly filled Duke Wagner’s entire manor.

Sky Demon King Dolores wore a purple butterfly mask that covered half of her face, making it impossible to make out her features. Even though she is a Demon King, Dolores’s body had a divine glow under the sunlight. The other Demon Kings at the scene instantly had the misconception that Dolores was a Deity but merely holding the title of a Demon King.

Fortunately, the hymn recited by Sky Demon King Dolores had the “friendly fire” option set to off so the other four Demon Kings didn’t feel any ill reactions to it. They just felt that their Demon King hearts that were beating quickly from the battle were now less excited from the soothing properties. If Bella was the one making a move, it would likely end in a wave of accidental injuries, instantly offing the five Demon Kings along with the others in one big ultimate move including herself.

As the melody of the hymn gradually unfolded, the black mist emerging from Duke Wagner’s body gradually dissolved away. Under the suppression of the hymn, Duke Wagner was unable to even counterattack. He could only stay in place and roar in reluctant defeat.

“Hymn chanting! You..Are you a Demon King or a Deity? To be able to use…”

“Rest now. In your next lifetime, don’t…No, that’s not right. If you’re going to do bad, just do it out of our sights.”

“No…Wait, we can talk this through! We can make a deal! We can split the profits one to nine. I only need one…”

“Sorry, I…We don’t deal with men.”

Duke Wagner’s final cry was still interrupted by Bella. His deal with the previous Demon King was a split of three to seven, but for the sake of his life, he didn’t mind splitting one to nine. Unfortunately, before Blood Demon King Eleanor’s “Blood Wheel” could come down on him, Bella flashed behind Duke Wagner’s back and pierced straight through Duke Wagner’s heart with a “Dark Spiral”.

Duke Wagner fell with resignation. Even in his death, he was unable to find the Third Demon King. He did not even see what the Demon King who killed him looked like. After his heart burst apart, Wagner was done for. His corpse was turned into a puddle by Sky Demon King Dolores’s hymn, and the other Blood Race in the manor also turned into puddles and disappeared. Being killed by the joint attack of three Demon Kings, Duke Wagner’s death was considered dignified.
