Book 6: Chapter 388: Evil Beings Summon the Dark Saviors and the Demon God

In the Sky Arena of Macnadix, the capital of the Manasvir Empire, the contest between Dragon Knight Bella and Priestess Isaman was entering its final stages. Bella used a completely unexpected sneak attack to land a strike on Isaman. Although Isaman used her energy armor to block most of the hit, Bella managed to plant the seeds of several follow up attacks.

“Bella, did you use some strange medicine again? I… I’m immune to all debuffs, you… please stop with your deviant fantasies. You… What exactly are you…”

“Isaman, take a guess? I won’t tell you, except that it isn’t a debuff.”

Bella had inadvertently learned about Isaman’s Golden Finger and her debuff immunity. That is why Bella didn’t use any debuffs with her Divine Ice Spear. Instead, her strike was mixed with something she had gotten from Poison Origin Loli Betty. It had a unique effect on a Dark Savior like Isaman.

Bella’s self satisfied smirk gave Isaman an uncertain feeling. Did Bella really have a way around her immunity? No way, even if she were the Demon King, she couldn’t do such an impossible thing. No matter how Isaman reassured herself, she had already lost the mental battle.

Although Isaman was hesitant, her hands didn’t stop. As she leapt back, a powerful light shone from her hands, releasing powerful waves of magic power. Bella didn’t give chase and instead hopped off of her Thunder Unicorn and recalled it into her Pet Space.

Bella had borrowed the mount from “Thunder Knight” Aurora. She didn’t want to risk injuring it in the coming clash. Isaman was on the verge of releasing her attack when she finally realized what had been done to her. She lost control of her magic.

Bella hadn’t poisoned her with a debuff but instead had given her one of Poison Origin Betty’s failed products, from when she was researching the ultimate curse potion. This potion instead greatly boosted positive energy, and was called the “Divine Celebration”. If it was used on an ordinary priest, it could raise their power to the level of the God of Light.

The problem was that Isaman wasn’t a normal priestess. She was a Dark Savior, and possessed a Dark Ego. If her positive energy was raised in such a drastic manner, her light and dark halves would become unbalanced and cause her great injury. Isaman, who had just realized what Bella had done to her, felt a drop of cold sweat roll down her beautiful face.

Bella had put Isaman in an awkward position. If she wanted to control her rising wellspring of light energy, then she would have to completely suppress her own light magic. The problem was, Isaman’s clothes were armor made from her own light magic. If she suppressed her magic, then all of her clothes would disappear too.

That would be akin to Isaman stripping down herself and “flashing” everyone, it would be many times more embarrassing than getting forcibly stripped by someone else. That evil Bella, after spending all of that time thinking of how to defeat Isaman, had still ended up committing everything to the goal of “exposing” Isaman’s body. Her unrelenting “gentleman’s spirit” left Isaman speechless.

“Bella, you… you’re too…”

“Isaman, I gave you a buff potion, I didn’t do anything weird to you. Don’t go blaming innocent little me now!”

Bella suddenly closed in on Isaman while she was struggling to suppress her light magic. With a swift push, she forced Isaman out of the boundary of the arena. However, in the very last second, Bella reached out and grabbed hold of Isaman, not letting her fall off.

The scoreboard suddenly flashed with Bella’s victory. Due to the distance between the audience and the arena, the crowd hadn’t been able to see exactly what happened. The judge was only able to see that Isaman had somehow lost control of her own energy, and Bella had taken advantage of that to sneak attack her.

After the battle results were announced, Bella let out a sigh of relief. The turbulent energy within Isaman also suddenly quieted. It turned out that the potion only had a temporary effect and its duration was very short. If Isaman hadn’t lost her cool and panicked, then she wouldn’t have been so easily knocked out of the Sky Arena by Bella.

“Isaman you lost~ From now on, you have to be my personal maid for a month. Come on, let me hear you call me master.”

“Bella, you… You cheated! I want a rematch… I’m not satisfied!”

“Isaman, even if you want a rematch, it’ll have to be after the month is over. Also, next time the wager will be for a lifetime! Are you sure you want that? Also, are you planning on breaking our agreement?”

“This…”

Isaman huffily looked away, but she also didn’t protest anymore. It looked like she had reluctantly accepted that Bella had won their bet. Although she was different from Bella, she wouldn’t go back on her word. Bella happily walked off, holding Isaman’s hand in her own. Although they had held hands before, this time, there was more of a sense of accomplishment.

“Isaman, tonight…”

“Bella… Master, can we at least go back to the academy first before I fulfill my part of the wager?”

“Isaman, you finally called me master, then, no problem! However, you have to live with me and my roommates from now on. As soon as we get back, you have to move in. We’ve already saved you a spot! I’m worried that you might try something.”

“Bella, you… why can’t you be a little more stupid? You always see through my plans!”

Bella easily saw through Isaman’s plan to escape before returning to the academy and directly destroyed her hopes of escape. Isaman could only whine at Bella in frustration.

The next battle would be between Princess Kriss and Magic Dragon Knight Lisha. However, right as the two ascended into the Sky Arena, something happened. The two were suddenly frozen motionless. The strangeness wasn’t limited to the two contestants and also extended over the entirety of the Sky Arena.

In an instant, the originally rowdy atmosphere became silent as if a large area silencing magic had been cast. The boisterous crowds were silenced. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The Sky Arena had been mysteriously frozen in time. Everyone in the Arena was fixed in place, as if they were in a photograph. This was the first time that Bella had seen something like this happen in this dimension; it was straight out of a horror movie.

Although Bella’s body was frozen, her mind was still racing. She was the Demon God and not even the Chaos Bringer Dimensional Demon Noesha’s “Timespace Prison” was able to halt her thoughts, let alone this strange magic.

The only thing that bothered Bella was the fact that everything appeared black and white, as if it were a photo. This strange phenomenon was a result of the magic. She decided to wait and see if the culprit would reveal themselves.

The culprit didn’t hide much longer either. In fact there were two. One of them was Emperor Manas the 18th. He had shed his human disguise and revealed his monstrous form. He was an ogre. To him, those frozen humans were nothing more than a marvelous feast waiting for him to partake.

The other culprit was a little strange. It was tall and slender and looked like a classical ghost from Earth. It wore a horrific puppet mask and carried an oddly shaped hourglass in one hand. The hourglass was probably what was responsible for freezing the Sky Arena in time.

The hourglass had a touch of divine aura on it. Bella could easily sense it as the Demon God. However, although the hourglass was clearly touched by a god of this dimension, the ghost possessed a divine aura from a different dimension.

If Bella wasn’t mistaken, then the ghost demon was a God Race that had invaded this world from a different dimension. It was highly likely that the ghost had stolen the hourglass from the God of Time of this dimension and that it was actually the “Hourglass of Time”. However, Bella couldn’t be sure how this God Race had acquired the “Hourglass of Time.”

“Adams, your hunger is too obvious. Control yourself; don’t forget your master’s plan. If you eat all of them, then there’ll be problems.”

“Gaskell, don’t forget that we’re operating under my master’s plan in this dimension. We haven’t decided on how to split the spoils yet so you better watch your tongue.”

“Besides, there are so many people here, eating one or two of them won’t be a problem. I haven’t had a fresh human in days.”

Ogre General Adams ignored the reminder and walked to the center of the Sky Arena. He raised an evil hand toward Lisha and Kriss, planning to eat them first. Bella was about to act, but she saw a flash of light from the two girls’ eyes.

Lisha and Kriss had also been pretending to be frozen. They had accompanied Bella for too long and had picked up some of her bad habits. Besides those two, there were a couple other girls pretending to be frozen. They were Isaman, Elaine, Ariel, and Noreya; all Bella’s roommates. They were all putting on a stellar performance, fooling the two bastards that were responsible for this into thinking that they were still frozen.

“This little girl is a Dragon Knight. Her meat is juicy and tender, she will be a delicacy. I’ll eat her first, and then I’ll eat the so-called number one human swordsman, then…”

“Who’s a little girl? You’re less than an ant before me!”

“Apologies, but number one swordsman isn’t a title that I like. It’s not like I’m some sort of Savior.”

The dark alter egos of the two girls manifested, freeing them from their frozen state. Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha and Myriad Sword Demon Krysan appeared in twin flashes of light. Alisha manifested alongside a flash of dark golden light, wearing dark gold dragon armor. The golden dragon wings on her back were especially eye-catching.

Myriad Sword Demon Krysan was the second to manifest. She appeared in a flash of dark silver, matching her hair. Her armor looked like a formal evening dress and matched her eyes, both a deep purple. She was wearing leather boots and there was a pair of black energy wings adorning her back. Her outfit was very revealing, exposing her snow white thighs, delicate shoulders, and exquisite collarbone. Her chest was emphasized by a glowing purple gemstone.

In contrast to Alisha’s domineering aura, Krysan exuded an atmosphere of dark elegance. Even their weapons were different. Alisha wielded a pair of golden dragon claw gloves as well as a giant two handed sword which floated next to her. Although the sword looked heavy, Alisha could wield it as easily as the longswords that were typically used by dragon knights.

Clearly, a Demonic Dragon Emperor’s brute strength wasn’t any lesser than Bella. Krysan, on the other hand, had nine mysterious swords which floated behind her. Ogre General Adam didn’t even have time to react before he was attacked by what he thought was prey, but were actually Dark Saviors.

Alisha was the first to strike. She reached out her with her claw clad hand and clamped down on Adams’s outstretched hand. With a *crunch*, she pulverized his hand into a cloud of blood. In the next instant, several swords swiftly pierced through the ogre general’s body, killing him in an instant. Adams didn’t even get a chance to utter any last words before he was turned into a bloody mist by the pair of Dark Saviors.

The God of Time Gaskell saw that the plan had suddenly turned on its head and decided to escape. Alisha and Krysan’s terrifying battle prowess was plenty to take care of him too. Unfortunately, this was when Gaskell discovered that the Dark Saviors present weren’t limited to the pair of Alisha and Krysan. At this time three other pairs of eyes were staring him down.

Countless ethereal threads penetrated Gaskell’s body and fixed him in place. A splash of dark red flashed past his body, and he suddenly separated into quarters. His remaining divine consciousness was scattered to the winds by a black tornado. The black tornado even ground the pieces of his body into dust, staining the lower part of the tornado a bloody red color.

The other four roommates had all manifested their Dark Savior forms and easily killed Gaskell. They killed him so fast that Bella had just barely manifested her Demon God form. Bella didn’t even get a chance to participate! Hadn’t they decided to all come out together? Where was the camaraderie now?!

The only sign that Gaskell was even there in the first place was the strange hourglass that was left on the ground. He had died even more tragically than Adams and didn’t even get a chance to see the faces of the three Dark Saviors that had sent him into the eternal dark.

“Isaman… Why didn’t you go?”

“Bella, you… Seriously, everyone changes their looks and all of a sudden I’m not a maid anymore? Isn’t a maid supposed to remain at her master’s side at all times? Since you don’t think so, then I guess I’ll just have to…”

“Stop. Isaman, don’t be angry. Hey, you look even more beautiful now, I didn’t even recognize you for a second!”

“Hmph, bad master, all you know how to do is use sweet words to deceive innocent women. But, it’s fine, I like your compliments.”

Isaman had also manifested her dark form; she and Bella were still holding hands. Bella thought that the feel of her soft hand was a little different now.

Dark Saviors each had a “color”. This contrasted brilliantly with the black and white surroundings. However, there were still two other people, besides Bella and her roommates, that had been unaffected by the time freeze.
