The Manasvir Empire’s capital, Macnadix City’s Imperial Sky Arena, the battle between Dragon Mage Grand Duchess Baize and the Radian Church’s papal heir, President Maria, was undergoing. To make things a little harder for Bella, President Maria began the fight with a strong move. She even used the divine light spear, “Valkyr’s Virtue,” a type of forbidden holy magic that had been lost for thousands of years.
The divine light spear, “Valkyr’s Virtue,” easily pierced through the six space-time defensive magic, “Mirror Wall,” that Bella had cast. Seeing that it was about to hit the area around her, Bella calmly used the evil arts, “Mirror Illusion,” in the nick of time that was taught to her by Space Time Magic Demon Noesha.
“Mirror Illusion” was a unique move of the Chaos Bringers. Bella had no idea why, but even as a World Destructor, she could use the move of the Chaos Bringer camp. Even though she was already going overboard by using the Chaos Bringers’ move against President Maria, if she were to face the “Valkyr’s Virtue” head-on, Bella risked exposing her identity as a Demon King.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bella decided that it was still better to use the “Mirror Illusion.” It was not like it was the first time that she acted so shamelessly in front of a beautiful lady, so it didn’t matter if she did it this time too. After casting “Mirror Illusion,” the “Valkyr’s Virtue” was sucked into the interdimensional space before reflecting in the opposite direction.
The divine light spear, “Valkyr’s Virtue,” ignored any sort of defensive magic and would only stop upon impact with a solid entity. Therefore, the only way to deal with this sort of attack was to use special reflection magic such as “Mirror Illusion.”
Upon reflecting back to the way it came from, the “Valkyr’s Virtue” also pierced through President Maria’s own nine holy defensive barriers, “Angel’s Curtain,” destroying a total of fifteen magical barriers on both sides, yet its power still did not decrease. It was worthy of the title of the strongest holy penetrating force.
President Maria never expected Bella to have such an ability and couldn’t dodge in time, so she was hit by the “Valkyr’s Virtue.” However, since she was a priest and had high holy attributes in her body, the “Valkyr’s Virtue” didn’t harm her, so President Maria was completely fine. She was only knocked down to the ground.
While President Maria was on the ground, Bella succeeded in closing in and continued her attack, much unlike a mage. With a simple wood magic Earth Twine, she summoned a bunch of vines to pin President Maria to the ground, suppressing her.
A priest’s stamina was just about the same as the mages, and President Maria was no exception. She had no choice but to surrender after she was caught by the vines. Even though she lost, it wasn’t shameful for her to be defeated under the divine light spear, “Valkyr’s Virtue,” that she summoned herself. The Radiant Church’s reputation was still held up since she had lost under her own attack.
The first round of the top ten selection ended. After President Maria’s defeat, all members of the Radiant Church stopped at the top ten rankings. Even though Isaman was a priest, she had no ties to the Radiant Church and wasn’t considered one of their members. The contestants who advanced to the top ten were – Dragon Knight Lisha, Thunder Dragon Knight Grand Duchess Bellina, Dragon Knight Natasha, who was also the Chief of the Disciplinary Committee, Mage Ariel, Dragon Mage Grand Duchess Baize, Array Master Angelina, who was also the Chief President of the Central Student Union, Assassin Noreya, Puppet Master Elaine, Swordsman Kriss, and Priest Isaman.
Other than President Isaman, who was not yet a member of the Rose Society, all other contestants in the top ten were members of the Rose Society. Bella alone took two spots while her roommates Lisha and the others took up five slots, leaving behind the Disciplinary Committee’s Chief, “Frost Knight” Natasha, and Chief President of the Student Union “Enchantress” Angelina. The latter have long since shared a special friendship with Bella.
It wouldn’t be unreasonable if Isaman wanted to secretly slip away. Nine of the top ten were on Bella’s side, so it was equivalent to a 1v9. Bella was able to succeed in her 1v10 because she was facing off against her friends. There was no way it was possible to do it for real.
Counting Kriss and the four Black Warriors, as well as Bella’s two identities, the only ones Isaman could get a steady win against were Student Union Chief President Angelina and Disciplinary Committee Chief Natasha. This difficulty bar was seriously too high.
Unfortunately, Bella had already guessed that Isaman might escape, so she had already entrusted Isaman’s Little Sister, Puppet Master Elaine, to keep an eye on her. Puppet Master Elaine’s strength wasn’t too far under Isaman’s, so there was no way Isaman would be able to escape if she were watching her. Unless Isaman was a top Black Warrior like Noreya, it was impossible for her to escape Puppet Master Elaine’s watch without leaving any traces.
The first match of the second top ten to top five round was Thunder Knight Grand Duchess Vellina versus Priest Isaman. This was the only thing done by the fake Emperor Manas the Eighteenth that Bella was satisfied with. Whether the top five competition could be finished or not was up for debate. According to the intel she received from her familiar demon, Demon World Princess Diaz, chaos had already begun to run through the imperial city of the Manasvir Empire’s capital, Macnadix City. The pitifully small numbers of the empire’s royal guards have almost all been gobbled up by the demons.
Now, the dark demons on Bella’s side were using the eastern district’s Christian Hotel as the base to send troops out towards the imperial city area in droves, and the skeleton soldiers on both sides had already broken out into fierce street battles while the airship fleets gathered above the hotel, waiting for the ground troops to gain the upper hand destroying the air units before pouring out of the lair, breaking over the tall walls of the imperial city from above.
On the western side of the imperial capital, the Abyss Demonic Beings under the command of Insect Empress Vicky Hill, who had already occupied the city wall, advanced from the west to the east towards the imperial city. They were planning to meet with the friendly dark troops coming from the east in the middle, then both sides could join forces to surround the imperial city.
The residents living in the Manasvir Empire’s capital, Macnadix City, had long hidden in their homes out of fear and did not dare to come out. After more than a decade of illusory peace, the inevitable time to wake up from the “dream” had finally come.
The only redeeming factor was that the demons on both sides were too busy killing each other to think about slaughtering the city people. The humans had temporary safety. Once the war was over, it was unclear how the new demons occupying the imperial city would deal with city people.
Based on the information from another infiltrating subordinate, Assassin Lora, the demons controlling the imperial city appeared to be activating a super large forbidden magic array. Currently, it was unsure what sort of forbidden magic it was. Lora was an assassin, so she didn’t know much about magic.
There wasn’t much time left for Bella. She had to quickly defeat Isaman before the demons could interrupt the competition. That way, their agreement would still be in effect. Otherwise, if the competition were interrupted before they could finish, then Isaman would have a chance to evade Bella’s slave trap plan that Bella had been brewing up for so long as it could not be allowed to go to waste.
In the first match of the second round, Thunder Dragon Knight Grand Duchess Bellina’s battle with Priest Isaman had officially begun. To beat Isaman quickly, Bella no longer held back in this match. She planned to start strong, just like what President Maria did in the previous match.
Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman and the other demonic dragons could not be summoned at the moment since the dragon-slaying array hadn’t been broken yet. Bella switched to a different mount, one borrowed from Thunder Holy Knight Aurora, the Thunder Unicorn.
Bella wore the “Thunder Dragon Demon Armor” formed out of Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman’s power. Behind the armor were its own wings created from lightning energy, and there was also a special thunder crown on Bella’s head, which was formed out of the power of the Thunder Throne, the “Thunder Demon King Crown.” Wearing it allowed her to be connected to the Thunder Throne and gave her lightning energy support.
Along with her Thunder Unicorn mount, Bella showed a rare seriousness. She was already dressed like a standard Dragon Knight. The only thing lacking was her temporary inability to summon her demonic dragon companion mount, Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman. If she were summoned, then she would look like a proper Dragon Knight.
In comparison to Bella, Priest Isaman was dressed more simply and casually. Wearing a regular white priest outfit, there wasn’t even the basic profession symbol on it. One couldn’t tell what level Isaman’s priest profession was at by looking at her priest robes. Isaman herself had never signed up with the Radiant Church either or had taken the profession level test.
Bella didn’t dare to be careless. After being in a team with her during this period, she could predict that Isaman’s abilities as a priest far surpassed the four Holy Maidens of the Radiant Church, even the papal heir, President Maria. Even the first-generation Radiant Pope Goldsmith and fifth-generation Radiant Pope Roxanne were no match for her.
“Bella, we… there’s no enmity between us, is there? Aren’t your eyes looking a bit too serious? They’re looking a little scary.”
“President Isaman, I’m just getting excited at the thought of you becoming my slave for a month. Just act like nothing’s wrong!”
“You’re getting overjoyed a bit too soon, Bella. I’m not weak like President Maria and the other girls who just allow you to bully them.”
Bella didn’t continue this verbal match with Isaman either. Riding the Thunder Unicorn, she launched a Knight’s Charge towards Priest Isaman’s position. During the charge, a large current of electricity was charged around Bella and followed along. Together with her mount, the Thunder Unicorn, they turned into a serpentine trail of electricity as they charged towards Priest Isaman.
This was the second time Bella had fought with a transmigrating overpowered warrior. The first time was with her little sister, Magical Dragon Knight Lisha. Bella had failed during that fight. Even though Lisha was mistakenly caught by one of the slimes of the Abyss Demonic King and fell into Bella’s hands, it still couldn’t hide the fact that she was defeated by Magical Dragon Knight Lisha and was forced to jump off a cliff to feign death.
If she could beat Isaman, that would allow Bella to regain the confidence she used to have. Bella wasn’t so sure what Isaman’s golden finger was. For the roommates around Bella, the only one Bella really understood were Lisha and Kriss. Bella really had no idea what the true ace up Isaman’s sleeve was.
Therefore, Bella did not try to probe her with her first Knight’s Charge. She launched the charge straight away with all her might, planning to go for gold on the first strike, knocking Isaman into the air and out of the arena. Isaman was wearing cloth armor, so she was temporarily unable to paralyze her with lightning magic. That move only worked wonders on targets wearing heavy metal armor over their bodies and had very little effect on units wearing full cloth armor.
Bella’s thunderbolt attack was so fast that it gave Isaman little time to react. The dazzling lightning attack quickly hit Isaman’s priest profession’s exclusive protective barrier. The Thunder Spear Bella wielded was shaped by lightning magic energy bounced away by the powerful force of the reaction that happened upon impact with Isaman’s barrier.
The invisible protective barrier surrounding Isaman had such perverse defensive properties that it could actually bounce off Bella’s Thunder Spear easily. This defense had already surpassed those other girls that Bella had studied with before. Bella felt now as if her spear had stuck a piece of hard steel plate that couldn’t be pierced.
“Don’t even think about using electricity to paralyze me, Bella. I won’t fall for that.”
“Don’t get proud of yourself yet, Isaman. Just wait and watch. I’ll break that barrier.”
Bella abruptly remembered when she and Isaman teamed up; not only had Isaman seen how Bella bullied those beautiful girls with lightning magic, she had also become Bella’s “partner in crime” many times. Isaman was already on guard against her plan to paralyze her with electricity. That plan was tossed out of the window before it could even begin.
Riding the Thunder Unicorn, Bella, who had charged over, quickly turned around. She wanted to make a turnaround and knock Isaman down. However, after successfully defending Bella’s first attack, Isaman quickly disengaged from the fight and moved far away.
Isaman did not make any moves to counterattack. It was more like she was defending against Bella, stalling time to get away from all of Bella’s attacks. Bella’s turnaround also came up empty, unfortunately. Isaman had long moved out of Bella’s range of attack.
“Your barrier is too tough, Isaman. You’re really not giving me a single chance!”
“Give up, Bella. You won’t have the opportunity to break my barrier. It’s better if we…”
“Don’t think I’ll give up that easily, Isaman. Not counterattacking is the biggest chance you’re giving me.”
Bella, who was unwilling to give up so easily, rode her mount, the Thunder Unicorn, and charged towards Isaman once more. She was still using the same thunderbolt attack. As for the target, she still chose to aim towards President Isaman’s torso. The thunder spear Bella resummoned was the same as before, getting stuck on the invisible defensive barrier around Priest Isaman.
“I told you this won’t…”
Before Isaman could finish, she saw the blue lightning energy spear in Bella’s hand glowing with a golden light and instantly transforming into the divine light spear, “Valkyr’s Virtue” that President Maria had cast before.
The “Valkyr’s Virtue” came with some very strong penetrative power and could ignore the protective barrier around Priest Isaman without shattering or destroying it. It successfully ignored her barrier and aimed towards President Isaman’s heart.
This contingency made Isaman make a misjudgment. Out of instinct to protect her heart, she instantly leaned to the side to dodge the strike, but at this critical moment, she forgot that she was a priest just like President Isaman. The divine light spear, “Valkyr’s Virtue,” couldn’t hurt her, so her actions were completely superfluous.
While Isaman was dodging the attack, the divine light spear in Bella’s hand, “Valkyr’s Virtue,” changed forms again into a dark blue water attribute ice spear. The ice spear exploded into a stream of water droplets as it neared Isaman, drenching her all over.
The white priest robe Isaman was wearing wasn’t waterproof. For Isaman, who had complete confidence in her skills, she never thought she would end up in a position where her guard would be broken. If she knew, then she wouldn’t have worn such a simple generic priest costume.
“Damn it, Bella, you villain! You’re using these underhanded tricks again. Can’t you fight normally!”
“Isaman, you have such high levels of defense, so normal attacks have no chances against you!”
Isaman was a little speechless as she looked at her clothes. Her white priest robes were gradually becoming transparent as the water spread over it. If this were to go on, her body would be exposed.
Taking advantage of the fact that she was wearing thunder armor, even if they attacked each other’s clothes, she wouldn’t have to worry about being “exposed” by the other side, and that was why she thought of such an evil tactic. However, the effects weren’t so good. After all, Isaman was a transmigrated Black Warrior and had seen more of the world than the Other World’s local girls.
In a burst of golden light, a golden energy was added to Isaman’s clothes, perfectly covering her body that was almost exposed. It wasn’t unheard of for powerful existences to conjure up clothes out of their own energy.
There was basically no normal way to deal with such clothes formed out of energy. If she wanted to burst her clothes, then she had to beat her down completely and muddle her consciousness so much that the clothes conjured by energy would disappear on their own.
“Can’t think of a plan, can you, Bella? I’m not scared of your evil tricks. You can’t find a way to do bad now, can you?”
“That’s not necessarily true, President Isaman. Haven’t you noticed any strange sensations on your body? Such as…”
“Uh, you couldn’t have…”
