Book 5: Chapter 217: The Strange Demonic Beings In The Depths Of The Unknown Cathedral
Deep in the cathedral in the lost Ancient Ayr City, Bella looked around the mirrors on the side of the long hallway of the cathedral but found neither Elise nor Stacey. This was very unusual. The two beauties were captains, so there was no reason for them not to be present.
The white demons walking back and forth were particularly frightening. Bella hesitated whether to withdraw and call her men over first. This area currently was a dragon prohibition area that restricted a dragon’s strength. Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha was temporarily unable to come out because her dragon lineage was too strong.
Not only was Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha unable to come out, even Devastating Evil Dragon Emperor Lolita was the same, which meant that Bella had directly lost two of her strongest fighting forces. If she wanted to break this deadlock, she could only destroy the dragon prohibition barrier placed here.
“Older sister Bella, Alisha asked me to tell you that these mirrors are divine artifacts. They were used by the Legendary Dream God Onelos to imprison the souls of sinners. I don’t know how it’s been demonically tempered. Now, these mirrors shut the living in.”
“The living… The space inside the mirror does imprison the living… Then I’ll smash the mirror right away…”
“Well, these mirrors are only mirrors. Older sister Bella, you have to find the real artifact, the original object of the Dream God Onelos’ mirror world. It’s no use destroying these mirrors!”
While Bella and Lisha were whispering, there came a sound of footsteps in the corridor directly ahead. They sounded different from the footsteps of the white demons. The white demons sounded as if they simply dragged their feet directly across the floor when they moved.
This time, the sound of the footsteps sounded closer to that of human beings. But it seemed strange that anyone could live in places like this. Bella took Lisha’s hand and hid together behind a stone statue at the side of the corridor.
The stone figure that Bella and Lisha hid behind was difficult to find because it was built on a relatively high platform. Bella and Lisha leaned out and secretly watched the being that could make humanlike footsteps. It was fine until they looked, but once they did, Bella and Lisha were immediately petrified.
This is a humanoid demon, more than two meters in height. Its entire body looked as if it was made out of a ball of clay. It had no facial features and was wearing a mage’s outfit without any symbols, walking along the corridor.
What petrified Bella and Lisha was the fact that the demon was covered in divine artifacts. Just the ten fingers on its hand were each wearing a colorful ring. The purity of those colors looked like the luster produced by the powers of a divine artifact.
This was the first time Bella had seen a demon covered in divine artifacts. According to the information she had obtained from the historical library of the Human Empires, Bella speculated that the artifacts on this demon were all divine level treasures.
The demon was wearing a ferocious gold mask on its face. Bella felt dizzy looking at it. It was poisonous, and even the mask was a weapon with special charm effects.
This was the first time Bella saw a demon covered in divine artifacts. This was too much of a “cheat,” and Bella wished she could complain. Not only the fact that its whole body was covered in divine artifacts but on top of that, it still looked like an intelligent being. The monster stayed in front of each mirror for a short time, as if it were looking at the people in the mirror.
Fortunately, this guy hadn’t found Bella and Lisha. After confirming that the mirrors were operating normally, this humanoid demon left. It wanted to verify if there were fewer people trapped in the “mirror world.” Bella’s Order of the Rose wasn’t trapped, so the demon was just a little puzzled.
When Bella and Lisha saw the monster leaving, they jumped off the statue and walked along the path where it came from. The two had a tacit understanding and didn’t speak, exchanging views with their gestures and their eyes.
Since they weren’t certain if the humanoid demon could hear or not, adding the fact that the direction that guy had left was the direction they came from, it was too risky to turn back now. They were likely to meet the monster head-on. Bella and Lisha went on exploring. The monster had a special stench. They covered their noses and carefully explored along the corridor.
The light in the corridor was very dim, and the sky above Ancient Ayr City was constantly covered with dark clouds. There wasn’t any direct sunlight, resulting in it being difficult to see the path in the cathedral clearly. Perhaps the humanoid demon exuded great pressure. On the way, Bella and Lisha didn’t encounter any white demons, and the journey went smoothly.
On both sides of the passage were murals with strong religious sentiments. Although they had undergone more than three thousand years, the murals were only a little faded, and the general idea of what was painted could still be seen.
These murals recorded some of Knight King Ayden’s life events, including killing Ferocious Dragon Dreiser and Demon Corian, and the Radiant Church, that helped build the cathedral in recognition of Knight King Ayden’s exploits.
To Bella’s confusion, it was impossible to see the appearance of the Knight King Ayden on the murals, although he was all dressed in armor. However, judging from Bella’s experience, this Knight King Ayden had a feminine figure.
If Knight King Ayden were a girl, then what about the Knight King Ayden patrolling outside the cathedral? The crown wasn’t fake. Bella could clearly recognize the symbol of the church.
At the end of the corridor, there was a half-hidden stone gate. Bella gave Lisha a look and told her to keep watch at the door just in case the humanoid demon returned halfway. After that, Bella slipped sideways through the stone gate.
The light on the other side of the stone gate was also very dim. In this dim light, Bella roughly saw the layout of the secret chamber. This was the torture room with various torture instruments everywhere. On the rusty instruments, there were still many traces of blood.
Legend has it that in the depths of every cathedral, the Radiant Church had set up a special torture chamber for heretics. Now, it seemed that this legend was true. The Radiant Church wasn’t as above board as the world imagined. At least, this torture chamber still existed.
Bella looked at the various kinds of heavy chains hanging from the ceiling. Her mood was a little mixed. With her sharp eyes, Bella soon found that the torture room had a guest. Far away, there was a beautiful blonde who was fixed onto an iron frame in a naked state.
The iron frame that bound the beautiful girl was very erotic. At a glance, Bella could tell that this iron frame was the typical x-shaped frame from the adult games in the previous world. It was so erotic that it caught Bella off guard, so much so that she almost forgot herself.
In front of the blonde was a demon with a round figure. It looked like a variation of an ogre, and it was about three meters tall. With a whip and a red candle in its hand, it looked like the torturer.
Bella wanted to hide and watch the performance of this experienced guy, but she found that the blonde figure looked more and more like someone she knew. The torturer found Bella’s shadow on the wall and turned around to get to the bottom of the matter.
Bella responded quickly, taking out the Great Evil Slaying Sword from her storage ring and attacked the demon’s face. The demon torturer was caught off guard and was slashed in the face by the double-edged sword.
Bella happened to insert the Great Evil Slaying Sword into the mutant ogre’s mouth. The powerful and destructive power prevented the ogre from shrieking; consequently, the whip and red candle in its hand fell to the ground.
Before the mutant ogre took another step, she threw an iron chain around its neck. Bella pulled with all her strength, dragging the mutant ogre to her side so that it didn’t have the chance to kill the imprisoned blonde.
The moment she dragged the mutant ogre to kneel in front of her, Bella got up and violently executed a flying kick onto its head. The mutant ogre had a strong head. Even when she gave her all, she didn’t manage to pop this guy’s head open. Her kick “decapitated” the ogre and sent its head flying far away.
The mutated ogre’s head fell into a pool, issuing a “splash.” Bella walked forward, ignoring the headless corpse that was sputtering blood.
The captured beauty was indeed Bella’s acquaintance, “Holy Dragon Knight” Ingrid. Ingrid was tied up in a very humiliating position to this erotic cross-shaped frame. Her whole body seemed unbroken, but her hands and feet were locked in the iron rings on the frame. The keyhole on the iron rings had melted.
Ingrid wore a golden collar around her neck and a golden ball gag in her mouth. Her eyes were covered with a white cloth. There were traces of two streams of tears on her face. She looked like she had been crying. Bella found no scars on Ingrid. It seemed that before the torture could start, it came to an end because Bella, this “fake traffic police,” had stopped them for inspection.
Bella’s hands subconsciously picked up the mutated ogre’s whip, which had fallen to the ground. Fortunately, she had a strong will. In her heart, she repeated the words, “she’s my teacher.” After dozens of times, Bella held out her hand to untie the white cloth covering Ingrid’s face.
Due to an inexplicable excitement, Bella’s hand trembled slightly. As she reminded herself that the other party was her teacher, Bella felt even more excited. Her evil thoughts almost couldn’t be suppressed. It seemed that she had gone further and further down the road of depravity.
Ingrid turned red when she saw that Bella, her problem student, had come to rescue her. Her own student had seen her embarrassing appearance. How would she teach her in the future? Earlier, she had been enveloped by a white fog and was brought here by some mysterious force before she could even respond.
This was a dragon prohibition area. Ingrid’s mount, the Holy Dragon, couldn’t be summoned because of the seal. After that, she was caught by the humanoid demon covered in divine artifacts. The opponent had too many divine artifacts. Combined with the sudden attack, Ingrid was overwhelmed and knocked out.
Later, as Bella had seen, Ingrid was stripped of her equipment and clothes and imprisoned in the torture chamber originally built by the Radiant Church. As a Dragon Knight conferred by the Radiant Church, she didn’t know how to feel about being imprisoned in a torture chamber of the church.
Anyway, Ingrid was in an awkward situation now, which made her a little embarrassed. Fortunately, it wasn’t a male student who came in to save her. Otherwise, who knew what would happen since she was placed in such a provocative posture.
Even if the boy were a gentleman, she probably wouldn’t be able to marry after having exposed her naked body to a boy. Ingrid was a bit naive at this time. Now that Bella had seen her, there was no way she would get married in her life. Bella wasn’t a fair companion, and she had always been very selfish.
Ingrid found that something was wrong. Never mind that Bella was holding the mutant ogre’s whip in her hand, but she was also looking at her body in a way that made her feel invaded. Moreover, Bella had no intention of helping Ingrid unfasten her shackles. Instead, she stretched out her other hand and groped her.
“Miss Ingrid… Older sister Ingrid, how beautiful you are! Marry me. I’ve always hoped to have an older sister who loves me. Don’t shake your head. If you don’t talk, that means you agree. I don’t understand what you mean by shaking your head.”
Ingrid just remembered something now. At Olsylvia Academy, Bella was rumored to have a very ambiguous relationship with many beautiful girls, such as Princess Kriss. At first, Ingrid had also assumed that Bella and those girls were just pure friends, who were perhaps a little more close.
Now, it seemed that things weren’t that simple. Bella really had a special interest in girls. This was bad. Ingrid was in such a predicament now. She couldn’t even open her mouth to educate this problem student, let alone resist.
Bella looked at Ingrid, who was flushed by her touch, revealing an evil smile. She leaned close to Ingrid and kissed the blonde’s face. The taste of a mature beauty was incomparable to Kriss and the other young beauties.
At first glance, this was the first time Ingrid had experienced this sort of thing. She had no choice but to shake her head helplessly. Ingrid had completely lost the majesty of a Dragon Knight and teacher. She was merely a beauty who was being bullied by someone else.
“Miss Ingrid, from now on, you will be my older sister alone. You have only two choices; one is to marry me, the other is I marry you. Well, you don’t have to answer me so soon. I know you will definitely choose the right option.”
Was there a point in choosing? Both options had the same result. Also, this wasn’t the point. The point was that this evil student still remembered that she was a teacher. Why did she have such a problem student who bullied her teacher? Ingrid looked at Bella pleadingly. She hoped that Bella could save her first.
“Older sister Ingrid, look. I have already written a contract. First, sign the contract, then I will let you go!”
Bella, the “habitual offender,” seemed to have come prepared. She took out a magic contract from her storage ring. This was the slave contract the great Evil God Mia had written for her. As long as both parties used their own blood to make a mark on it, the contract would be established.
When Ingrid saw that it was a slave contract, she was so scared that she started struggling desperately. What a joke! This sort of enslavement magic itself was an evil contract. Once signed, she would become the property of Bella, this problem student.
How could this happen? She was a teacher. It was too shameful and disrespectful for her to be owned by her student. Seeing that Bella had taken out a small needle to prick her finger to take some blood for the blood pact, Ingrid closed her hands to prevent Bella from pricking her finger.
“Older sister Ingrid, don’t be naughty. Be good and open your palm quickly. Otherwise… I will prick some other places, such as…”
Bella persuaded Ingrid to give up resisting as if she were a nurse urging a child to take an injection. When Ingrid saw Bella touch her chest, she gave up the fight completely. Her palm obediently opened to allow Bella to take blood from her fingers. She had no choice. If Bella pricked her in some other part like her chest, she would probably die from the pain.
After Ingrid’s bloody fingers were pressed onto the slave contract like a fingerprint, Bella finally got her wish and unshackled the beautiful Dragon Knight teacher. During her holiday, she had been a little worried that Ingrid would be snatched by someone else.
Under this circumstance, she would have no problems with her exam. Ingrid was now hers. It was expected that she would give Bella full marks in the exam. Bella was planning to let Ingrid give herself a “special lesson” here when Lisha, who was keeping watching outside the torture room, burst in.
“Older sister Bella… that guy is back. What are you… I understand. Older sister Bella, stop playing now. That guy seems to have found something wrong. His footsteps sound very urgent.”
Ingrid thought that she was saved. After all, Lisha was the princess of the Octavia Empire and was the former head of the Demon Slaying Knights. As a Dragon Knight, she wouldn’t sit idly by and ignore Bella’s absurd behavior.
However, Lisha went on chatting with Bella as if nothing had happened even after seeing Ingrid. Ingrid looked at all this dully. Even Lisha had betrayed her faith. She was finished. This was the worst class of students she had ever taken on.
“Older sister Ingrid, don’t have any wild thoughts. The blood deed has already been signed, yet you want to escape? Stay still. When we get back to school, I’ll need some special after-school counseling!”
Bella took the white cloth and covered Ingrid’s eyes again. Her hopes dashed, Ingrid finally passed out from the strength she had exerted resisting Bella.
Lisha and Bella pushed the heavy stone door and closed the door of the torture room from inside. The humanoid demon arrived a step too late. By the time it got there, the stone door was locked. When the Radiant Church designed the torture room, the stone door was made heavy, so that the demon couldn’t open it by itself in the meantime.
