Book 7: Chapter 451: Bella’s Night in Preparation of the Light of Dawn Event and the Nagging Tournament-Disrupting Forces
At the Aldridge Empire’s seaside resort spot, Oldrango City’s coastal region, the waters near Phoenix Island. The Human Race’s Twelve Academies’ exchange tournament was still underway. It was currently the evening of the second day of the competition. The scores between each academy were not that huge yet, and everyone was holding on tight, mainly because each academy had system-type Saviors mixed amongst them. Once the “cheat” players were to come on the field, they’d balance each other out.
These system-type Saviors were fond of heroism, just like traditional Saviors. They would usually participate in solo competitions and were separated from Bella and the others. When it came to team battles, Saviors weren’t as interested as it didn’t highlight the strength of their cheats, so it was not convenient for them to show off their individualism.
When night fell on Phoenix Island, a shivering quietness was temporarily restored. Unlike the first night, there was a moon out tonight, and the bright moonlight was very casually sprinkled atop the beach, giving off a different sense of beauty. In the waters below the ocean surface were many shadows coming towards Phoenix Island. The human soldiers in charge of guarding Phoenix Island chose to go ashore to guard as there were no firearms equipped on the warship. They kept watch while hiding in a tall watchtower, so they did not notice the stowaways lurking in the waters.
Once the shadows reached the shore, they quietly crawled onto the beaches and prepared to head for the temporary housing region of Phoenix Island. These invaders were the Fishmen of the Oceanic Race, the type with a fish head and humanoid bodies, as they were wielding tridents. Just as they were about to advance, a change in the situation occurred. A mysterious third party suddenly appeared on the quiet beach.
Before the Fishmen at the front could react, their legs had already sunk into the sand. There were traps laid out on the beach, as these invading Oceanic Race had been careless. The rest of the Fishmen did not step into the traps and quickly retreated, but it was already too late. A large group of phantoms appeared, surrounding the Fishmen and tearing their souls to pieces.
Once the ghosts dispersed, only bloodless corpses were left on the ground. Bella stepped out from the watchtower with Blood Demon King Eleanor and Ocean Demon King Victoria by her side. Bella had originally wanted to return to the temporary residence as soon as possible to do something interesting. The preliminary round for the “Light of Dawn” event was beginning tomorrow, so she wanted to have some fun before that.
However, Ocean Demon King Victoria told her that there were signs of large numbers of Oceanic Races moving nearby Phoenix Island. The Oceanic Clan had originally wanted to launch a sneak attack on Alan Island, but because of the sudden change in venue for the Twelve Academy Exchange Tournament to Phoenix Island, it caused the Oceanic Race’s attack to be delayed till tonight when they had planned to attack right before the competition started.
“Victoria, you don’t have any dealings with the Oceanic Race, do you? How else would you know they’d be attacking tonight?!”
“Enough from you, Bella. I won’t bully my Demon King companions. Those Oceanic Races have quite the ambition, and they’re hard to control. Humans have high ambitions too, but they know how to use the help given by Demon Kings.”
“Is that so? Then Victoria, why don’t you come over to our side? And Aggy too!”
As soon as Bella brought that up, Ocean Demon King Victoria turned her head and pretended to be looking at the scenery. She would take an evasive attitude whenever the key questions popped up. On the other side, Blood Demon King Eleanor didn’t comment and only sighed inwardly. Bella was getting more and more evil, to actually think of getting her hands on the Ancient Twelve Demon Kings.
The invading Fishmen were all torn to shreds by the phantoms hidden beneath the sand. With a snap, a large group of Manasvir Empire’s royal secret guards wearing black armor came out from each watchtower. The Royal Secret Guard was the new army established by Empress Manya Felan and Bella in secret. They were similar to the secret police force and specialized in helping Empress Manya Felan in special operations.
“Princess Manasviel (Bella), what are your orders?”
“Go deal with the corpses, and make it quick. Don’t let the Aldridge Empire’s guards find out about it. Also, go arrange for someone to light the Phantom Lamps on the nearby islands. Our sea reinforcements will be coming soon, so they’ll need a guide!”
“Understood. By the way, Princess Manasviel (Bella), our men have discovered a secret stronghold of the Oceanic Race on a nearby abandoned island. It is well reinforced.”
“I have my own arrangements for that matter, just keep on monitoring the area.”
Bella had another false identity – the imperial sister of the Manasvir Empire’s Empress Manya Felan, Princess Manasviel. Naturally, as the Royal Secret Guard of the Manasvir Empire, they obeyed Bella’s command. Even though they didn’t understand her intentions that well, they chose to do as she said.
Under the intervention of the Manasvir Empire’s Royal Secret Guard, the Fishmen corpses on the beach were all quickly cleaned up. Before the Aldridge Empire’s island defense forces could patrol the area, they had already dealt with them as if nothing had ever happened here. Bella had the Royal Secret Guard light up the Phantom Lamps on the small islands nearby while they were at it.
The Phantom Fleet rushing over from New Moon Island would be guided by the Phantom Lamps to the waters nearby Phoenix Island. Faced with the hostile Oceanic Race, Bella really didn’t think that the inexperienced dregs of the Human Race’s navy could be relied on, so it was safer to summon her own men over. It was rare for them to take a trip out to the beach, so there was no way she could let the Oceanic Race interfere with it. Otherwise, her swimsuit party, or whatever, would all just be a dream.
“Bella, the Demon Kings on our side don’t seem to be that good at sea combat!”
“It’ll be fine, Eleanor. If you can’t do sea combat, then just leave it to my subordinates. Right, for tomorrow’s Light of Dawn event, I’ll have to trouble you and Victoria for help. Help me… That’s all. I’ve already spoken to Dolores and Aggy.”
“Bella, you… You actually want Demon Kings to participate in the Human Race’s competitions? Isn’t this too… How far have you infiltrated the Human Race? To appear so openly in the middle of a Human Race’s tournament. Aren’t you worried the Radiant Church will…”
“Just participate in it, Victoria, no need to care so much about the rest of the details. As for how far I’ve infiltrated the Human Race, I’ll tell you if you jump over to my side!”
Ocean Demon King Victoria forced her curiosity down and did not allow Bella’s “ploy” to succeed, even though she was clearly one step away from “jumping ship” to Bella’s side. However, Bella really did want to tell her that she had already pacified the Radiant Church and even the remaining God Race from the war over ten thousand years ago. However, as Ocean Demon King Victoria hadn’t hopped on board to her side yet, it wasn’t convenient for Bella to reveal that information to her.
After the three Demon Kings wandered idly around the beach and confirmed that the Fishmen attacking them had all been exterminated, Bella and the rest returned to their temporary residence on Phoenix Island before the Aldridge Empire’s island patrol forces arrived. As for the discovery of the Oceanic Race’s secret stronghold, Bella temporarily took the observation strategy. Before her Phantom Fleet could arrive here, Bella decided not to strike at the stronghold yet.
Bella’s resting area was the tallest tower in Phoenix Island, the peak of Stella Tower. She didn’t come here to sleep but rather to stand at the top of the tower to overlook the scenery of the entire Phoenix Island, which was much more interesting than what the improvised student housing camps had to offer. Besides, this tower was also one of the places where Bella kept her special war trophies.
Bella was currently enjoying something interesting in the secret collection room at the top of the tower. Last Princess Brehanna, who already had her sensitive points probed during the day, spent the whole day tortured continuously by desire, as her will had completely broken down during. After Bella untied her, this princess threw herself into Bella’s arms without her needing to say anything.
“What’s wrong, hungry little kitten? Can’t hold yourself back anymore when it’s only been one day?”
“Bella, stop teasing me. Please! It feels miserable!”
“No can do unless you call me mistress. Also, you have to tell me all about your Bridges Kingdom restoration plan!”
“That… I… I can’t betray my fellow men.”
Brehanna allowed Bella to hold her in her arms and kiss her while Bella wasn’t in a hurry to interrogate her either. She continued kissing her whole body. Under Bella’s kisses, Brehanna was quickly aroused. Just as she was about to explode, Bella suddenly got up and held her in place with secret arts so that she couldn’t move.
Bella had a confident smile on her face. She reached out to pinch the two sensitive little “red cherries” on Brehanna’s chest and watched the intoxicated expression on her face. She knew that it was just about time to completely capture this princess. Bella spread Brehanna’s legs apart so she could sit on her outstretched left thigh.
Brehana’s chest was being “attacked,” as her most sensitive part was in contact with Bella’s thigh without anything in between, washing away any bit of dignity she had as a royal. Under Bella’s powerful offensive, Princess Brehanna could no longer retreat. Bella was constantly watching Brehanna’s eyes. As their eyes met, she couldn’t turn her head to avoid her even if she wanted to.
Other than Last Princess Brehanna, the human beauties trapped by the Blood Race during their attack on Alan Island were also confined in Stella Tower. They were currently kept here under observation. Unless Bella could confirm that they won’t turn, their only fate would be to stay here and become companions to Bella’s erotic experiments.
While Bella was bullying Brehanna, these girls did not stay idle either. They were grouped in twos to face each other, sitting on each side of seesaws that went up and down as their fair white bodies rubbed against each other’s sensitive parts. With time, they would “bend” even if they weren’t lily girls.
“Brehanna, I’ll give you one last chance. If you don’t tell me, then just sit there and watch me do naughty things with the other girls!”
“Bella… Mistress, I’ll tell you… Please don’t abandon me!”
Brehanna could no longer resist the temptation of her own lust and gave in to Bella. Bella got all the information about the Bridges Kingdom restoration plan from her. As a reward, Bella pressed Brehanna down on the sofa and bullied her until she went limp, but she was satisfied at least. The will of this last princess was too poor. If she had resisted a bit more, Bella could have used many fun props to introduce her to the scene.
After enjoying the “delicacy” of Princess Brehanna, Bella kissed her on the lips then summoned Succubus Queen Aisha and her subordinate succubi to train the rest of the beauties at the top of the tower. Bella still had one more important activity to attend to. If they weren’t important beauties, then she would generally choose to let the succubi have their fun with them.
“Mistress Bella, what fun things have you summoned us here for?”
“Aisha, that look on your eyes is exposing you, you know? Really, why ask if you already know? This one is no good, but the rest of the beauties in this tower are yours to do with as you please. Open a new door for them.”
“Understood. I will get them addicted to the feeling.”
Succubus Queen Aisha looked a little disappointedly at Last Princess Brehanna. That princess clearly looked much more fun, but since her Mistress Bella had already given the order, then it meant that this princess had already completely submitted to Bella. She didn’t need to interfere anymore. After Bella left, the entire Stella Tower was filled with strange and thought-provoking noises.
In the temporary villa set up nearby Stella Tower, Bella met her second group of guests for tonight’s secret appointments. It was the Augustus Academy’s Loli Student Union President Elshelly and the beautiful alchemists known as the academy’s “Eight Sages.” They saw Bella coming out in the middle of the night with only a white nightgown and nothing underneath and couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed to look at her. Even though they were all girls, Bella was clearly the more daring one.
“Fellow friends, what have you sought me out in the middle of the night for? I’m very busy, so please return if there is nothing you need!”
“Senior Bella, you… Don’t you already know? You fed us that strange pill yesterday, so quickly give us the antidote!”
“President Elshelly, don’t talk nonsense with the problematic senior. We should just seek help from the other academies!”
President Elshelly hadn’t said anything about Bella’s indifferent attitude, but the Augustus Academy girls with her could no longer remain calm. As the academy’s eight most beautiful alchemists, they felt indignant about what Bella had done last night in the name of rescue. She took the opportunity to take away the first kisses of all the Augustus Academy girls in the magic tower.
President Elshelly had originally planned to come alone tonight, but they couldn’t stop worrying and came with as well, which was a boon for Bella. She could “get all” nine of them along with President Elshelly at once. The last time Bella got to deal with one whole group at once was in Kerklav Academy’s ship, where she pushed down Princess Kliveny and the academy’s “Nine Swords” all at once.
It felt that President Elshelly couldn’t figure Bella out at all. In front of Bella, she constantly had the illusion that she had been stripped naked as if there were no secret she could hide from this problem senior. Based on what she asked about today, Bella had never suffered a loss from any girl and was a dangerous character. Even the Chief of the Disciplinary Committee, Dragon Knight Natasha, couldn’t handle this demoness.
It was not that Elshelly never thought of seeking help from the student union presidents of the other Twelve Academies, but the only remaining members yet to fall under the demoness Bella’s control were the warrior academy Elitechra, the archer academy Sainsbury, as well as the academy for the foreign races, Alessandra Academy. The rest of the beautiful student union presidents of the academies had basically been hooked in by Bella.
Towards Elshelly, these beautiful student union presidents all had tacit agreements not to talk about Bella’s “atrocities.” Instead, they would talk to Elshelly about some more intimate topics between girls, which gave Elshelly a very complicated feeling. It almost gave her the illusion that the world was filled with lilies as she was the only odd one out. To avoid the “disguised brainwashing” of the presidents of the other academies, Elshelly could only come herself to seek Bella out.
The three academies that were not controlled by Bella had a hard time communicating with the Augustus Academy’s alchemy students. They were mainly physical combat academies. The Augustus Academy only shared common topics with the magic academies, but they had all fallen under Bella’s control.
“Settle down. I want to talk to Senior Bella alone. Senior Bella, speak your intentions! What will it take for you to give us the antidote? As far as I’m aware, you’re not short of money, are you?”
“Elshelly, since you’ve investigated me, then you should know what I like! What did the seniors of the other academies tell you?”
“Senior Bella, I… I’m not like the other seniors. Please don’t… Please don’t have bad intentions; otherwise, I’ll… I’ll…”
“Alright then, I’ll need help from your alchemists for tomorrow’s Light of Dawn event. As for the antidote, I’ll tell you when we have the time. Just come along then.”
Elshelly didn’t have many “cards” in her hands that she could play, so there was practically nothing she could say against Bella. If Bella really wanted to use force on her, then there was no way she could resist. These alchemists relied heavily on their alchemical products, so if they allowed the demoness Bella to advance, it was simply no different from a “wolf standing among a flock of sheep.”
Bella really did need their help, and she also did not make things hard for President Elshelly for now. For these alchemists, she had already thought of a wicked and interesting plan. When that time were to come, it wouldn’t matter how stubborn Elshelly was, as she would still make her think that she was “bent.”
The preliminary round of the “Light of Dawn” event began early the next morning. The venue for this event was the same as was previously announced, the man-made replica of the ancient city ruins in the center of Phoenix Island. More than a thousand students would be participating in a battle royale. According to the rules, the academy of the first teams to light up five positions with their “Holy Lamps” would advance directly to the second round finals.
A total of twelve finalist teams would be competing. As long as one team achieved the goal, the academy would advance to the next round of the competition, and Bella was leading the secondary team to participate in this event.
