At the Corpse Control magical array at the center of the ruins of the original beacon towers within the Ancient Saxton Battlefield, Bella had already shut down the Demon King Passage. She would not accidentally injure any allies when using the “Praise of Light” and “Tears of the Goddess,” which were gifts from the Creator of Light Vianne this way. If she were to damage the Demon King Passage like she did the last time, there was a definite possibility that some of the other World Destructors would team up to teach her a lesson.
To use treasures gifted by the Creator of Light, one had to have no sense of shame. Somehow, Bella the Demon King had managed to obtain the “Dark Mercy,” which was a blessing from the Creator of Darkness Mystica. Since the Creator of Darkness had acknowledged Bella’s status as a Demon King, it was within the realm of possibility for her to use any treasures gifted by the Creator of Light, who had opposing attributes without experiencing any negative reactions such as Darkness Backlash or Light Erosion.
The moment the “Praise of Light” appeared, it glowed with a glorious light that illuminated the ruins of the beacon towers. The darkness that had enveloped the area for more than ten thousand years could not withstand the Creator of Light Vianne’s holy light and finally dissipated. The giant pillar of light shot up into the black skies in the area and instantly pierced a hole in it, revealing a glimpse of the normal blue skies outside.
The dark atmosphere was gradually disintegrating. With the skies above the beacon tower at its center, the patch of blue skies grew larger as the layers of black clouds swiftly dissipated. As the blue sky grew, its warmth enveloped the area as the Ancient Saxton Battlefield finally welcomed the first rays of sunshine in thousands of years.
The Corpse Demons gathered in the skies were quickly retreating as they could not stand being in direct sunlight. Those corpses had not been exposed to sunlight in ten thousand years, so it was highly likely that they would immediately turn to dust upon contact. However, the region’s dark atmosphere was fixed, and it was only a matter of time before it all turned into blue skies. From the moment Bella took out the “Praise of Light,” the Corpse Demons’ fate had been sealed.
The thirteen nuns from the Darkness Church who had been doing the Dance of the Medium around the evil ceremony’s magical array finally stopped and collapsed on the ground. The sunlight had exorcised the evil spirits that were compelling them to dance in such a frenzy. Without the evil spirits’ control, the nuns would not dance. As they had exerted a lot of energy, they were now completely exhausted and could not even muster up an ounce of energy to move a muscle as they sat on the ground, drenched in perspiration.
The seven ten-thousand-year-old Corpse Kings in coffins were ready to get up to kill the priestesses who were supposed to be their offerings. Unfortunately, as the sunlight shone over the evil magical array, the Corpse Kings’ movements became unusually slow. Taking full advantage of this opportunity, Bella rushed over and picked up each of the exhausted Darkness Church’s priestesses and carried them outside the array with the other nuns.
“Stop it right now. My ceremony is almost complete. Why are you in my way? I... Ah, stop tickling... Damn it, I can’t muster up any strength.”
“Livina, be a good girl. Come with me and agree to the purification ritual. Don’t make any stupid decisions.”
When Bella approached the Netherworld Holy Maiden Livina, she immediately picked up that Livina intended to kill herself and reached out to tickle her underarm. The itchy sensation from Bella’s tickles disrupted Livina’s plans to bite her tongue to commit suicide. By the time she figured out what was going on, the platinum Holy Knight had already picked her up in her arms and carried her out of the evil magical array.
“No, I will not accept the Radiant Church’s judgement. I...”
“Livina, I will not allow you to do anything foolish. Don’t worry, I won’t hand you over to the Radiant Church. Just rest for a moment!”
Bella tapped the pressure point at Livina’s back and knocked the Netherworld Holy Maiden unconscious. She did the same for the rest of the beautiful priestesses and nuns from the Darkness Church. They were now the “special trophies” that she had obtained from cleaning up the Ancient Saxton Battlefield as there was no way she would hand them over to the Radiant Church. The Darkness Church had three Holy Maidens, and Bella was lucky enough to meet two of them.
The seven Corpse Kings were unusually furious as they watched the platinum Holy Knight carry their live offerings away. If not for the sunlight, which caused them to move significantly slower, they would have torn Bella to shreds within moments. Unfortunately, their luck was up as it was unlikely that victory would ever land on their side.
“You... What else do you want to do? Leave quickly, there’s nothing else to do here.”
“Wait, you’ve already captured members of the Darkness Church. What else do you want? We do not have a record of hurting others. Have you forgotten the rules set by your Radiant Church?”
“When did I ever say that I was a member of the Radiant Church? You’re too intelligent, I think you should return to where you came from!”
Bella ignored all the threats that the Corpse Kings hurled towards her and walked right into the middle of the evil ritual’s magical array. She then placed the “Praise of Light” at the eye of the array, which was where the Netherworld Holy Maiden Livina had been sitting earlier. Bella then opened a small vial and poured the “Tears of the Goddess” on top of the “Praise of Light.”
With the addition of the “Tears of the Goddess,” the purification powers of the “Praise of Light” multiplied. Although there were no clouds to be seen in the blue skies, rain began to drizzle down. This was one of the lost Holy Curses of the light – the “God’s Salvation,” also known as the “Angel’s Tears.” Any dark entity that came into contact with the rain would eventually be purified.
After being drenched by the rain, the seven Corpse Kings swiftly collapsed and began to dissolve. As they melted, wafts of odorless white smoke rose steadily into the skies. Bella caught a glimpse of what looked like white souls slowly ascended into the sky, as though they had been summoned into the heavens.
Although the Reincarnation Passage was partially frozen, with the Creator of Light Vianne’s blessing, any departed spirit would still be able to be reincarnated with her help, which was the best possible option. Other than the beacon towers, the rest of the Ancient Saxton Battlefield had been visited by the “God’s Salvation.”
The deceased from the Human coalition who had been roaming the Ancient Saxton Battlefield for more than ten thousand years could finally rest in peace as they fell to the ground and dissolved. After roaming the world for so many years, countless Corpse Kings eventually found their resting place. The groups of Corpse Demons in the skies began to fall and disappeared before they hit the ground.
The entire Ancient Saxton Battlefield transformed into a scene of souls rising up into the skies. Kriss and the others were no longer surrounded by attackers as the Corpse king army had disappeared as well. However, there were no witnesses to this miraculous scene as more than ten thousand Corpse Kings vanished, leaving nothing but a barren wasteland. It did not take long before little blades of green grass quickly began to sprout like spring shoots.
The “God’s Salvation” was a new lease of life for this cursed land as it would not take long before the Ancient Saxton Battlefield returned to its former glory and would be full of life once again. Of course, Bella planned to build a memorial where the beacon towers used to be in the Radiant Church’s name, as a way to remember the final Holy War that the Humans fought.
By the time Kriss and the others arrived at Bella’s side, she was the only one left there. She had already “hidden” the other beauties from the Darkness Church using special methods. Once they saw that Bella was fine, Kriss and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Even though they knew that Bella would not be in much danger, they could not help but worry about her.
“Bella, are you alright? There were so many of them that I was afraid that you would not be able to handle them.”
“I’m fine, Kriss. Don’t you know my abilities by now? Those dead guys were no match for me at all.’
“Bella, why is there a strange scent on your body? It’s different from your usual perfume. Could it be that there were other girls here earlier on?”
“Erm, Noreya, you must be mistaken. Also, aren’t you an assassin? I don’t think things like these are related to your profession!”
After Bella and the others left, the first generation Radiant Pope Goldsmith and the fifth generation Radiant Pope Roxanne took over the area at Bella’s request. They were here at the beacon tower located in the middle of the Ancient Saxton Battlefield to perform a blessing ceremony for the deceased, almost like the last rite to settle the various departed spirits there. According to the agreement among the various schools within the Olsylvia Academy, Bella’s Rose Society had now gained control over the region as the society’s influence had grown once again.
For some reason, Bella’s team and the Radiant Church chose to remain silent about what they had encountered while cleansing the Ancient Saxton Battlefield. To prevent any unnecessary mass panic from the general public, some things were better off left unsaid. For instance, any of those Corpse Kings would cause significantly more damage than a mutated holy beast. This meant that this information could never be leaked. Furthermore, those Corpse Kings used to be the heroes of the Human coalition.
Bella found an excuse to separate from Kriss and the others as she did not immediately return to the Rose Society’s camp. She would have to leave the task of reporting the results of the cleaning up of the Ancient Saxton Battlefield to the Student Union to Isaman. As Isaman had lost the bet, she was now Bella’s servant and could not refuse anything that Bella wanted. This meant that she had no choice but to make the report in her place. This mistress was too naughty, always ordering her around. If Isaman remembered correctly, Bella had no lack of servants around her. Anyone else could do it, why did she have to choose her!
Bella was now making her way to one of the Rose Society’s territory – the ruins of the McPherson Monastery. After Bella obtained Pope Goldsmith and Pope Roxanne, Pope McPherson’s Holy Spirit had returned to isolation to meditate. Right now, he was deep in slumber within one of the basements in the central region of the monastery. This meant that Bella was now the owner of the monastery.
As everyone was busy preparing for the school festival, not many students were praying at this monastery. Moreover, the McPherson Monastery used to be one of the Olsylvia Academy’s “Midnight Forbidden Grounds,” as there were all sorts of frightening rumors about the area. This meant that students would rarely dare to visit it as well. Ever since the Rose Society reclaimed the monastery, Bella took it over and was now the monastery’s temporary head.
Bella did not recruit the nuns within the monastery from the Radiant Church. Instead, they were actually succubi in disguise. Although the succubi were all dressed in black habits, they were not wearing anything under them, except for a pair of black fishnet stockings. After all, this was no longer a regular monastery and was now an unorthodox monastery controlled by demonic beings. The sculpture of the Light Goddess in the middle of the monastery’s prayer hall was more than that. The part that faced the entrance was the likeness of the Light Goddess, but the back was a blurred image of the Creator of Light Vianne.
Other than the succubi in disguise, there were some real nuns in the monastery as well. Although they were from the Radiant Church, they have already had intimate relations with Bella, just like the Holy Maidens. Technically, they were considered as fallen nuns who were wearing a holy disguise.
With the financial backing from Bella and the Rose Society, the previously dilapidated McPherson Monastery looked completely different after going through a series of renovations. The new McPherson Monastery was larger than any of the Radiant Church’s monasteries within Olsylvia City and its neighboring cities. The main lobby was decorated with precious platinum as the light fixtures on the ceiling were powered by Luminous Pearls that would never go out.
The previous creepy atmosphere of the McPherson Monastery was now replaced with a strange sense of elegant opulence. In fact, it did not seem like it was a place of worship. The main purpose of Bella’s new designs was to market the monastery as a place of interest for tourists.
Naturally, as a Demon King, Bella did not need to hold any prayer ceremonies or rituals. She was merely using this place for her erotic sins. At the hidden second level of the McPherson Monastery’s main cathedral, Bella was now conducting her own special “purification” ceremony. The beautiful priestesses and nuns from the Darkness Church, whom she had taken before, had been held captive here.
The priestesses and nuns were still in the same state as when they were brought here, completely naked. Their arms were restrained behind their backs with golden magic-restricting chains as their legs were spread apart and suspended in an “M” shape. The fallen priestesses and nuns from the Radiant Church were already pairing up to tease the beauties from the Darkness Church.
The originally cool and elegant expressions on the beauties’ faces were now replaced with red-faced shame. It was already embarrassing enough to be placed in such humiliating positions. Now, those beauties from the Radiant Church who were bullying them were all extremely “experienced” ladies who suckled, kissed, and licked them into blissful oblivion. By this point, they could barely even say a word, let alone beg for mercy.
All of them had taken off the cross that represented their individual faiths, and for a moment, no one could tell which church they belonged to. To an outsider, there was a possibility that they would assume that the beauties from the Radiant Church were the ones being bullied and the beauties from the Darkness Church were the ones doing the bullying. No one would expect it to be the other way around. Those girls who were putting up a futile struggle were all from the Darkness Church, while those committing the naughty acts were from the Radiant Church.
No scene was more titillating than watching a group of pretty girls tumbled together in a mess and making all sorts of intimate contact with each other while being stark naked. This sight was absolutely divine to Bella. This hidden second level had a specially made transparent crystal wall that faced the Light Goddess’ sculpture. This meant that the beauties were now doing all sorts of erotic acts in front of the goddess. Bella wondered how furious the real Light Goddess would be if she were actually watching the scene unfold.
The crystal wall allowed those on the second floor to look out onto the prayer hall below. This was a special wall; it only worked one way, which meant that even though those on the inside could see out, those on the outside could not look in. Furthermore, the walls of the room were fortified with extra strong soundproofing. Even if Bella were to engage in all sorts of lawless debauchery, no one on the outside would ever know.
Bella was now on a comfortable bed with the Netherworld Holy Maiden Livina pinned under her. Their legs were spread apart, allowing for their most sensitive areas to make intimate contact. Livina’s face was flushed red. Her arms were pinned to her side as she was unable to move them. Bella had her head buried in the black twin-ponytailed beauty’s chest and was pressed against two mounds of shocking bounciness, feeling extreme pleasure as she suckled Livina’s sensitive buds.
Livina felt as though her soul was about to leave her body. She did not expect that she would be bullied by a girl to this extent. What in the world did that blonde Holy Knight go through? Based on her skilled methods, it did not seem like she was an amateur. That Holy Knight was definitely an “experienced” old hand.
Beside them was another black haired naked beauty who had been bullied to the point of exhaustion. Livina knew exactly who she was. That girl was one of her competitors, the Dark Holy Maiden Liz, who was one of the Darkness Church’s main Holy Maidens as well. It was obvious that Liz had been hooking up with this blonde Holy Knight for quite some time. As she watched Liz’s performance, Livina’s mouth went dry as she only remembered that there were many questions that she needed to ask after Liz fell asleep.
“Stop it right now, isn’t this one of the Radiant Church’s cathedrals? What are you doing?!”
“Livina, you’re here to be purified. Don’t worry, I’ll be as gentle towards you as I was with Liz. You smell so good. From now on, I will not allow you to conduct such dangerous rituals anymore.”
“Like Liz... No... I don’t want to be cleansed. Stop...”
“Your resistance is futile. Let us begin!”
The Netherworld Holy Maiden Livina tried with all her might to struggle, but it was utterly useless. Earlier on, Bella had kissed every single inch of Liz’ body. The thought of being licked like this was incredibly humiliating and shameful.
However, Livina was a priestess and was no match for Bella in terms of physical strength. Even after struggling a few times, Bella did not even budge. In fact, her writhing, pale white body made Bella even more excited. Bella pounced on Livina, pressed a kiss on her unwilling lips and began to savor the charm that was unique to this particular Holy Maiden of the Darkness Church.
