Book 5: Chapter 213: The Night of Peace Before the Beginning of the Knights Combined Dorm Activities

The Knight’s sacred land, the Ayden Plains, within the central region of the Octavia Empire. 

It was noon. As the competition was about to begin, the students from all three academies were locked within their camps discussing their individual strategies.

The business districts in the camp were not just full of male knights from Olsylvia Academy. Even the leaders, the Dragon Knights Shawn and Scott, felt that it was a good idea to buy equipment as well.  

Scott, the male Savior, had kept most of his interdimensional traveler’s skills as a “collector of gold coins”. Even though his collection of gold and treasures was not as large as Bella’s, it was definitely much more than a regular “resident” of the Other World.

The God Chosen Knight Scott had already generously indicated that he would pay for all the equipment. This “action of wealth” had touched the hearts of the large group of male knights who were under the leadership of the Dragon Knight Shawn. Those knights had nothing but praises for Scott. 

On the surface, Scott appeared to be extremely pleased. However, his heart was bleeding. There weren’t any babes here in this group of knights, who is he showing off for then? Looking over at Bella’s female camp with their tightly shut doors, Scott was extremely jealous. It definitely felt better to spend money to please girls rather than use it to earn the praise from men. 

The equipment and steeds used by Olgeria Academy and Ophelia Academy were being shipped over from the Octavia Empire by their dedicated suppliers. The only “fools” who were willing to purchase the ridiculously expensive items at Camp Polit on short notice were the students coming from other schools to participate in the combined dorm activities. 

Usually, students from all twelve of the human elite academies would join in the events as well. This included the students from the Assassins’ Alexis Academy and the Swordsmen’s Kerklav Academy. Unfortunately, Bella had indirectly caused them to be unable to send anyone this year.

This was all Bella’s fault. Because of her, the President of the Alexis Academy’s student union, also known as the strongest assassin Dinah, her Vice-President Anya, as well as Miss Emily from the cadre of the Kerklav Academy’s student union had been “missing in action” for extended periods of time during the last holiday.

This left them with a pile of unfinished work from the student union, causing them to be too busy to arrange for anyone to participate in this “Knights’ Combined Dorm” activity. Thus, they had no choice but to give it a miss this year. 

The equipment merchants at Camp Polit stared glumly at the tightly shut doors of Olsylvia Academy’s female knight’s camp. This year, they were going to make such a huge loss. The ones who typically spent the most money on equipment did not come out to buy anything at all. Seriously, there was no way that the males would buy as much as the ladies! 

Many of the stalls had already put out signs stating sales and discounts. However, even after it got dark, the doors to the camp remained closed. The stall owners were getting desperate. What’s wrong with this group of ladies? Instead of coming out to shop, what in the world are they doing holed up inside the camp?

Bella had no idea how many shops in Camp Polit would go bust and close down after that night. She was too busy! Those dishonest merchants were simply down on their luck to have finally met their match.

The Octavia Empire’s strongest summoner, Shelly, was responsible for supplying steeds to Bella’s new regiment of knights. With the help of Noesha’s interdimensional transportation magic, Shelly arrived at the camp, along with Mia, Angel, and Bethia, who were all acting as her “loli maids”.

“Older Sister Bella, you’re too naughty. I’m sure the rules of this combined dorm activity have indicated that no one from the magical occupations is allowed!”

“Lisha, I did not break the rules. Angel and Mia are not registered within the Mage’s Union! There’s no way that anyone can prove that they know magic, right?”

“Furthermore, I doubt that the other two academies next door are adhering so strictly to the rules either. For instance, the Dragon Knight’s steed, the Flying Dragon, is inherently magic already.”

The other girls did not object to Bella’s roguish answer as she was acting as their leader. Although the Dragon Knights Lisha and Natasha had the most authority to voice their opinions, they did not say anything. Thus the other girls with them had chosen to agree in silence.

Bella opened up a little room that appeared to be used for interviews. Each girl within the regiment was currently standing in line to enter it, one by one. She planned to individually customize equipment and armor for each girl as there were not many female knights from Olsylvia Academy. At most, there were only thirty of them.

Compared to the immense number of male knights, this group of female knights was extremely small, making it feasible to customize equipment for each individual. Of course, the equipment was not the only thing on Bella’s mind. She had some special plans in store as well. 

“Aurora, what do you think Bella is up to now? It does not seem like she is short of money at all! Scott from next door is so wealthy that he put down a deposit for one thousand Knight’s helmets. Somehow, Bella is unable to afford equipment for just twenty-odd people…”

“Daphne, I have no clue either. Hopefully Bella isn’t playing a joke on us like last time! Princess Irene, I believe Princess Luce and Princess Pamela have been inside for quite some time. Why aren’t they out yet?”

The “Dusk Knight” Daphne and the “Thunder Knight” Aurora were close to the front of the line. The president of the Disciplinary Committee, the “Ice Knight” Natasha, had just entered the room. 

“Senior Daphne, please come in for a moment!”

The “Dusk Knight” Daphne was extremely suspicious as she walked into Bella’s special interview room. She had a cautious expression on her face as Natasha had not emerged from the room yet. After all, Natasha was a Dragon Knight, and it was certainly fishy if she had not left the room yet.

Fortunately, the corridors of the workspace were extremely well lit and were not dim at all, albeit a little quiet. As Daphne walked alone through the corridors, she was a little baffled. Why is this corridor so long?

“Senior Daphne, you’re here. Don’t be nervous. Relax, this is a safe place!”

“You… you’re Bella’s maid, Noesha, right? Seriously, where has that Bella gone to? Aren’t we supposed to tailor our equipment? Why the mystery…”

“Senior Daphne, you’re sweating profusely. Are you not feeling well? I know, you must be feeling too hot. Come, let me relieve you of your armor!”

“Wait, Noesha… don’t, what are you doing with that black cloth… hold on…”

The “Dusk Knight” Daphne was terrified as she suddenly realized that she could not move a muscle. It was as though time had stood still over here. Noesha, the loli, walked over to her with a devilish smile on her face.

Daphne was about to shout when Noesha pulled out a piece of soft, black cloth and stuffed it into Daphne’s mouth with practiced ease. After that, Daphne was blindfolded by another piece of black cloth. Under these circumstances, she could not put up any resistance as Noesha, the “Madame Loli”, stripped her of her clothes.

Even though both of them were girls, things did not have to be this “ero”! Isn’t she just supposed to measure her lower body and tailor a suit of armor? Why did it have to be as though it was a scene that was taken right out of a piece of erotic fiction? When the strips of black cloth were removed from her face and mouth, Daphne had arrived at her destination.

It was an extremely spacious fashion design room. Other than the fact that there were no windows and it was completely filled with mirrors, it was no different from any other room. Dozens of dark colored magical arrays could be found on the floor.

Those magical arrays looked similar to the ones that were specifically being used by a certain mysterious religion. There were various strange looking demonic statues placed around those circular arrays.

The girls who had not emerged from the room were all here. Princess Irene, Princess Luce, and Princess Pamela were currently lying naked in the middle of individual ceremonial magical arrays.

They were placed in a spread eagled position, with their wrists and heels turned out. Each limb was secured with a dark red energy cuff. Emily and the others seemed to have fallen asleep and had no idea that they were being placed in such humiliating positions. 

“Pamela, you guys… Bella, what are you…”

Bella was standing at the ceremonial magical array closest to Daphne. She was wearing black leather undergarments that were typically found on a succubus and wore nothing but a pair of black lace tights on her feet.

Bella was acting like a “domme” and was in the midst of placing the President of the Disciplinary Committee, the “Ice Knight” Natasha, in the ceremonial magical array in the middle of the room. The Dragon Knight Natasha was helpless as she, like everyone else, was completely bare. 

Even after seeing Daphne appear in front of her, Natasha did not say a word. Instead, she opened her dainty little mouth and swallowed the mysterious medicine that Bella was feeding her. Before long, the Dragon Knight fell asleep.

“Senior Daphne, you’re here. Perfect, I am going to take your measurements. At the same time, I am going to help you design your inner garments and socks as well.”

“Don’t come any closer… Help me! There’s a…”

Watching Bella walk towards her with a smile on her face and a measuring tape in her hands, Daphne was so frightened that she turned to leave. In that moment, she had forgotten that she was still a Holy Knight and had the ability to retaliate. 

From the beginning, Lisha had been standing next to Daphne. When she saw that Daphne was about to turn, she reached out and tapped the pressure point at the back of her neck, making her dizzy. 

“Princess Lisha… you guys…”

“Don’t be nervous, Senior Daphne, I really don’t want to do bad things to you. We are all girls, what are you worried about!”

Bella came forward to catch Daphne. She took out the mysterious medicine that Bethia had concocted and fed it to Daphne. In the end, Daphne was unable to escape Bella’s trickery. After Daphne was rendered unconscious, Bella placed her into the ceremonial magical array. 

“Older Sister, your tricks are the worst. Those who don’t know better would think that you are going to sacrifice them for some evil ceremony!”

“Sacrificial Ceremony? Those do not exist. I’m not an idiot, why would I send such precious gifts to demonic beings instead of enjoying them myself? Ridiculous.”

The style of those strange magical arrays was obviously the one that was used for evil ceremonies. These horrible magical arrays were typically used to sacrifice live humans in order to summon evil beings. 

According to past records, once a live offering was placed on the ceremonial array, it could be used to summon all sorts of evil beings. Especially in cases like this where young beautiful maidens were being used as sacrificial offerings, it was the most effective and the evil beings that were summoned would be the most terrifying. 

The summoned evil beings would forcefully emerge from the sacrifice’s stomach like a parasite. If the ceremonial arrays went according to plan, the next few images would be extremely explicit. 

However, Bella had requested for the Evil God Mia to make some adjustments to the fundamental structure of the ceremonial arrays and inverted it. Once the sacrificial beauties’ lovely figures were seen above the alternate space below the magical array, many evil beings began to gather there. Those evil beings had every intention of absorbing the offerings as a bridge into this world. 

In the end, the most unexpected thing happened to them instead. The feelers on the ends of the arrays that were supposed to violate the beauties’ creamy white bodies instead reached out and wrapped around the nearby demonic beings. The feelers absorbed their powers and life force and transferred them to the beauties that were lying on top of the ceremonial array. 

The evil beings barely struggled before the feelers sucked them dry and threw their husk-like bodies aside like trash. Afterwards, they retracted, waiting for new “prey”. The other evil beings had never encountered anything like this before. After seeing such gorgeous female offerings, the evil beings immediately rushed towards them and “certain death” without a second thought. 

Although Daphne and the others were Human, they were able to use the evil demonized armor after it had absorbed enough energy. This demonized armor was formed using the evil beings’ powers and came with an automatic recovery function. This was extremely rare amongst the knights’ equipment. 

The evil beings had never seen such a betrayal in a ceremonial array. If they could speak, they would definitely complain about these two “black hearted” Demon Gods, Bella and Mia. 

Bella was not doing this for nothing either. She had strategically placed a few drops of her own blood on each magical array. When Daphne and the others gained their new powers, they would be “bound” to Bella in a blood oath and become her sworn knights. 

The window to resist the contractual oath would only be open three hours after the beginning of the ceremony. The mysterious medicine that Bella had given them would render them asleep for far longer than that, which was an immoral act in and of itself. When they awakened, they would have to be on Bella’s side for the rest of their lives. 

“Older Sister Bella, you’re such an immoral and unprofessional Demon King! How could you have a ceremonial array that harms your own side?”

“Lisha, you and I are on the same side. Anyway, new evil beings would simply appear after they died. They’re nowhere as precious as you ladies! Let’s leave it at that. Noesha is bringing Senior Aurora.”

With the help of these “sinful accomplices”, Lisha was the only one of the female knights from Olsylvia Academy who was not placed on top of the ceremonial magical arrays. 

The first school term had just begun and these female knights were all still single. Most of the female knights who were from the higher years had boyfriends and would not return to school so soon. Thus Bella kept the female knights who had joined them for herself even before they had been wooed by males. 

Once Bella was appointed the leader of the female knights of the Olsylvia Academy, she had already started to concoct this “Evil Plan”. These twenty-odd girls were all extremely good looking. As the interim leader, she should not let it go to waste and take advantage of the benefits while she could. 

“Older Sister Bella, what do you plan to do with me? It does not count if you do not knock me down!”

“Lisha, you’re my younger sister… wait, Alisha, what are you doing out here?”

“Lisha was embarrassed and let me out first. Also, what do you mean that you can’t do it to your younger sister? Didn’t you just covet the other two older sisters without hesitation?”

The Demonic Dragon Emperor gave Bella a teasing smile, her golden eyes filled with pure seduction. Alisha could have gone commando on purpose. Casually, she unbuttoned her clothes and tossed the simple garment away.

“Your Majesty, you… I think it’s best that you put your clothes back on…” 

“Madam Older Sister, you’ve already said that I’m your younger sister. If I’m not afraid, what are you worried about? Furthermore, I just want you to help me take my measurements. It’s just designing an outfit. Why is your mind in the gutter already?”

“That’s all it is? Demonic Dragon Emperor… Alisha, why didn’t you just lead with that? You got my hopes up…”

Bella pushed her evil thoughts out of her mind and obediently used her measuring tape to take the Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha’s measurements. Alisha was considered to be one of the strongest here. In addition, she was a closet S and it wouldn’t do Bella any good to use force. This meant that she would have to exercise some restraint. 

Outside Bella’s “erotic workroom”, the daughter of the wealthiest person in the Octavia Empire, Summoner Shelly was currently creating drawings to summon the demonic beast steeds. As she was too engrossed, Shelly did not notice the “strange phenomenon” that was happening around her where none of the girls had come out from the room since they entered. 

“Finally, I’m done with the drawings! Eh, where did everyone go? I bet they have not come out yet.”

Shelly, who had just finished with her work, had just realized that she was the only one left inside the camp even though there were people moving around outside. Carefully, she began to move towards Bella’s workroom. If there were still passersby around the camp, it meant that nothing much had changed just yet. 

“Hey, the summoner over there. Don’t you go inside there! There’s… anyway, you shouldn’t enter the room.”

“Why not? You are…”

“Stacey, just another Knight’s leader simply passing by. Also, tell your leader not to travel too deep into the Ayden Plains tomorrow during the competition events.”

Outside the camp, a black haired beautiful knight was softly advising Shelly against entering Bella’s “erotic workroom”. Her moss green eyes stared curiously in the direction of Bella’s evil ceremony.

That beautiful knight was the leader of the Dragon Knight’s regiment from Olgleria Academy, Stacey, widely known as the “Styx Knight”. As Bella was currently busy doing “proper business” with the Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha, she had not crossed paths with her. If Bella was around, she would have realized that Stacey’s aura was different from that of a regular Human.
