Seven days had passed since the end of the war on the Harvey Plains. Bella’s demon allied forces were currently stationed on the Harvey Plains. The former black coalition camp had been transformed into a new city by the demons.
The efficiency of millions of demons was very high. It took them about five days to build a new city that was as big as Sarni City, the capital of Sarnia Duchy. It was named Harvey City, and it would later become the center of Bella’s forces in the Beastman continent.
In the center of Harvey City, the palace of the Demon King had been built, with twelve Demon King thrones in there. Although only four seats were currently occupied, Bella intended to reserve those seats in advance for their future eight companions.
Bella stood on the balcony, gazing at the heavens. The sky of the other world was especially blue and seemed to have a calming effect. Not far behind her, several kemonomimi princesses stood, dressed in black maid outfits and carrying snacks and drinks.
At a wave of Bella’s hand, Tania and Vanessa moved the Demon King throne to the balcony. After she was seated, Trini and Savannah knelt on both sides to serve food to the Demon King.
The black maid outfit Savannah and the others were wearing was tailor-made by Bella. It had a slit in the back to allow their tails to peek out. For her wicked interests, she didn’t give them any inner-wear. This costume was made of unique fabric, which turned transparent when exposed to sunlight. If they wanted to escape, Tania and the others would be practically naked when they went out.
They were also wearing a well-hidden black collar with magic on their necks. This black magic suppressed the wearer’s ability, and with it in place, all their strength was sealed. Without the fighting capacity of a kemonomimi, they were now the same as human slaves.
Tania and the others didn’t dare protest such an erotic ensemble, and all went with Bella’s arrangement. During the three-day craziness in this bedroom, she had given them even more absurd clothing. Now, this maid outfit seemed relatively normal.
“Why doesn’t the sun shine into the balcony today? What a pity! I wanted to enjoy your...”
“Master, don’t do that. Now’s the time to deal with proper matters! You can call me to your room anytime you want.”
Silver Fox Princess Vanessa came up behind Bella and massaged her shoulders. She was a fox, indeed, adapting to her role faster than the other three Beastman princesses. Vanessa had already gotten used to the role of a personal maid.
White Cat Princess Savannah and Snow Bunny Princess Trini came to Bella’s side, one on the left and the other on the right, massaging Demon King Bella’s legs. Bella reached out and stroked their cat and bunny ears. Only White Wolf Princess Tania stood aside, a little at a loss.
“Tania, come up here and move yourself! Don’t worry, the key to the collar is with Aisha. If you please her, maybe she will give it to you!”
“Don’t... Master, I understand. I will do as you say.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat a joke. Aisha was born a Succubus Queen, and her training methods were much more ruthless than Demon King Bella’s. If they had to choose between Bella and Aisha, they would rather go with the Demon King.
Tania didn’t hesitate any longer and climbed onto Bella. Right now, the morning sun finally spilled onto the balcony. Under the sunshine, their clothing became transparent instantly. Their snow-white bodies had a charming luster against the backdrop of the sun, like exquisite works of art, which only made a person reluctant to blaspheme.
But Bella wasn’t a human. The special “breakfast” delivered to her door was right on the tip of her tongue, so was there any reason not to enjoy it? Apart from the black collar, Tania and the others had nothing on them. Bella couldn’t help but want to shower them with affection again.
Even Silver Fox Princess Vanessa, who was the most open-minded, couldn’t adapt to doing such a thing in broad daylight. They wanted to get up and run away, but the black collar around their neck gave off a strange light. In an instant, they felt their feet go numb, taking their ability to move. The safeguarding capability of this black collar was said to be aimed at Holy Beasts, and Kemonomimi couldn’t be compared with them at all. Almost at once, they were suddenly confined around the throne.
“You’re thinking of running off again. Really, isn’t it good to obediently accept your Master’s love? Your punishment is to stay in my bedroom for three days. Also, don’t bring anything except this black collar.”
“Thank... thank you for your kindness, Master.”
“Master, when can we... Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Bella placed the kemonomimis on the wide throne to make love to them. Under the sunshine, the intertwined alluring bodies sent out an intoxicating fragrance belonging to girls, lasting the entire morning. After they fell asleep, Bella got Succubus Queen Aisha to take them back to the bedroom.
When they woke up, they would have vibrant expressions the moment they saw Succubus Queen. Tania and Savannah still had a lot of resistance in their hearts, which needed to be adjusted by the professional Aisha.
In the hall of the Demon King, Bella met with Kriss and the others. According to the latest war report, Tiger King Titus and Leopard King Crofts had announced their acceptance of the treaty to cease fire and accommodate peace talks, becoming the second and third Beastman kings to surrender after the Lion King. Springhall, the former wolf king who had been running for his life, didn’t yield this whole time. Unexpectedly, this Beastman king, who was adept at making a quick exit, actually showed some backbone for once. This brought Bella’s understanding of Wolf King Springhall to a whole new level.
However, the battle of the Beastmen wasn’t over yet. According to the information Bella “tortured” out from the Beastmen princesses, the real army of Beastmen was on the other side of the Sacred River. There were also more than five million Dark Human allied forces on that half, which was the real location of the bitter battle.
If they didn’t make their way across the Sacred River, the Beastmen could make a comeback at any time. Now, the Beastmen weren’t severely weakened, so their mission wouldn’t be completed until they hit the holy city of the Beastmen. Bella planned to continue on with the war, targeting their holy city.
Besides, there was something strange about the way the Human Empire was behaving. Gabriel Empire didn’t pursue the retreating Beastman Army and didn’t send anyone to the duchies along the border to check either. Ever since they had learned of the news that the Beastmen might suffer from a disaster involving departed spirits, the humans were so nervous that they blocked the border and banned all citizens of the duchies in the border area from crossing it.
On the contrary, this practice made the nobles unhappy. The lords headed by Duke Brandon organized a coalition force of more than three hundred thousand to attack the southern border of Gabriel Empire in the name of “recovering the freedom of border trade.”
Now, the civil war being fought by humans was well underway. Duke Brandon and the coalition forces of the duchies couldn’t resist the Beastmen, so they clashed with their own people instead. He didn’t really want to rebel but to vie for the best of his own interests through taking up arms.
What amused Bella the most was the fact that she clearly hadn’t said anything. Still, Brandon, that old fox, had written her name on the signature of the lords of the “Crusaders”. The lord of Sarnia Duchy, Duchess Bellina, made significant contributions in the war against the invasion of Beastman.
Gabriel Empire’s Emperor Alfred the Third could no longer sit still on the matter regarding the participation of Duchess Bellina in the rebellion. She had Princess Kriss, Princess Khalifa, as well as Princess Pamela and Lisha by her side.
If Duchess Bellina rebelled, the princesses might be sad, and she might even take them hostages. Alfred the Third held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss how to appease her.
Bella was now in the Beastman continent and couldn’t get involved in the power play between Brandon and Gabriel Empire’s Emperor Alfred the Third. Out of guilt, she acquiesced to Brandon’s lies, amusing him from the sidelines. The other party’s daughter, Emily, was already in her hands, so it was alright for her to give him a little reward.
“Alas, human beings are always repeating the same sorrows and sufferings. Honorable Death God, what do you think?”
“Sister Demon King, how did you find me... Wait a minute, don’t touch me... Mmm!”
“Who asked you to tempt me so much, Maureen? Even if you were among the Twelve Gods before, now you’re my servant alone!”
Bella, who came out of the meeting room of the Demon King’s hall to relax, easily found the Death God loli, who was hiding behind a pillar in the corridor, secretly observing. As a pure member of the God Race, Maureen’s unique scent was obvious in a city full of demons.
Maureen was covered in a translucent white gauzy garment, which was very see-through. Bella took a full view of Maureen’s petite, attractive body through the semi-transparent suit. She then hugged the loli and untied her clothes, pinning her against the pillar to make out right there.
Maureen struggled but could only shrink in Bella’s arms, hoping that her Master would be gentle. The maids who walked past the corridor made her blush the whole time. She buried her face in Bella’s chest, afraid of being seen by others.
The loli Death God Maureen, one of the twelve gods, was pinned by Demon King Bella in the hallway where maids made their way to and fro. Taking advantage of a god under the sun was a taboo experience that intensely excited her.
“It’s strange; there’s someone summoning me... Way to ruin my plans. Diaz, help me take Maureen to the bedroom to settle down. She needs a rest.”
“Understood, Master. I will definitely fulfill your orders!”
“Princess Diaz, you liar. You lied...”
Demon World Princess Diaz was responsible for taking Maureen away. Bella was being summoned and had to respond to the call. In the face of this “liar”, Death God Maureen was wholly enraged. If it hadn’t been for her betrayal, how could she have been captured alive by the Demon King and reduced to this state?
Diaz stepped forward and took out a small cloth strip, skillfully blocking Maureen’s mouth. Maureen was wearing a black collar similar to that of the Beastman princesses. Under the suppression of that evil force, her abilities were all sealed off.
Now, the strength of the loli Death God was near the average human girl. Maureen, who wasn’t as strong as Diaz, had her mouth blocked by the latter and was carried away. She had no other way to express her humiliation and unwillingness except with her eyes.
The Demon King summoning meant that she had to go through the Demon King passage to reach her destination. This channel could only be used by Demon Kings and those more powerful. Bella jumped right in after opening the tunnel. Before leaving, though, she left a message on a nearby stone pillar with her Demon God claws, informing Lisha and the others where she was headed.
This was Bella’s second time in the Demon King passage; the last one had been with Eleanor and the others. Back then, it was merely a common night path. This time, Bella found something wrong when she entered here—this channel was unlike the last one.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was a different dimensional space similar to the Parallel World. The scene was a forest trail in the dark night. The trees on both sides of the track were withered remains, with a dark patch of forest further away looking especially terrifying.
There were no stars in the night sky in this parallel space, only a strange, round, blood-red full moon. And on it, a woman’s weeping face emerged. Every once in a while, it would become a different woman’s face. The weirdest thing was, she could only see her crying expression, but couldn’t hear any wails. No matter what face it switched to, the woman’s dead eyes seemed to be focused on the visitor on the small path.
Bella felt uneasy being stared at by her creepy gaze. How was this the Demon King passage? Obviously, it was a road of horrors. If she had known earlier, she would’ve waited for Eleanor and the others to hit the channel together. Once the Demon King entered the Demon King passage, it meant she had accepted the contract of the summoner and must go to the destination to meet the summoner before being automatically transferred back to her original location.
Even if she was scared to death, she would have to walk through this path, which she had chosen to take. Generally speaking, this sort of passage usually led straight to the place where the summoner was located, so it was alright to go directly ahead. Time was still in the parallel space. Therefore, even if a Demon King walked inside for ten thousand years, it would seem that only a second had passed outside.
If a Demon King didn’t see the exit after walking in the Alternate Dimension for a day, she must use her own energy to destroy the passage and escape forcibly. Exceeding a day meant that there were abnormal circumstances in the summoning ceremony. The biggest change in the reference object in the sky was the standard used to judge time. If the reference object suddenly changed, it was proof that one day had passed.
If she were to destroy it by herself, the Demon King could not use the Devil King passage for at least a year, so they would not destroy it unless there was no other option. Bella could only quietly admire the courage of her Demon King peers in her heart. Anyone who dared to walk alone on such a creepy road deserved to be a Demon king indeed.
There were also some mysterious passersby on the side of the road. They gave out a terrifying demonic aura—headless people, girls see-through from head to toe, and horrifying monsters that appeared in various movies and TV shows from the previous world were all on this path. Fortunately, they were self-aware, maintaining a distance between Bella and themselves, which significantly stabilized her emotions.
After seeing the direction the other monsters were walking to, Bella felt that she was really going the wrong way. Although there were occasional demons walking along the Demon King passage, their direction was basically the same. The demons here came in many batches and walked face to face. Moreover, Bella could feel that their strength was several times stronger than the demons she had encountered in the Demon King passage before. Various signs told her that this road was probably not the Demon King passage, but some other terrifying thing.
It never rains, but it pours; Bella walked for some time and found herself being “tailed” by a mysterious shadow. Not far behind her, a vague black figure could be faintly seen following Bella. Whenever she sped up or slowed down, the mysterious figure did the same. When she stopped in place, the figure also stopped to hide in the shadows to observe.
Bella was well aware of such obvious pursuing, but she feigned ignorance. The Savior’s Great Evil Slaying Sword was stored in the storage ring on her right hand. However, it couldn’t be used here. Besides, Bella was appearing in the form of a complete Demon King. If she brought out the Great Evil Slaying Sword, the first person to be attacked by the slaying energy would be her.
Not far ahead, Bella saw dozens of forked roads, and the straight path ended there. At the end of the passage stood a mysterious sign carved with peculiar words that Bella couldn’t understand, and beneath them was a demonic clown with a sneer on its face.
Bella had no faith in her luck. She always met with misfortunes in her previous life, which only improved a little after she transmigrated over. She couldn’t possibly try out each road, one by one. Who knew if there were more forks down the road waiting to fool her?
The shadow behind Bella gradually drew near. Seeing that Bella wasn’t walking, it was impatient to wait any longer. Bella wouldn’t be able to catch up with the summoner if she remained rooted to the spot. Hence, she started to run, in line with her principle that one should hide when they couldn’t fight their opponent. Unexpectedly, the mysterious shadow appeared behind Bella in a flash.
“Stop! Why the hell are you running?! You... How is it you? Wicked Demon King, how did you get into this passage? This is meant for Demon Gods and Evil Gods; a Demon King cannot enter. Those demons guarding the road actually didn’t attack you!”
“Hey, it’s Miss Alice. Why are you here, and why have you been following me? Could it be that you’ve fallen for...”
“Who’s following you! I’ve just lost... Wait, why should I explain myself to you? I’m a Demon God, so why must I justify my reasons to a wicked Demon King?! I haven’t seen you for a while, but you’re still such a scoundrel!”
The real face of the mysterious figure following Bella was finally revealed: it was Dark Demon God Alice. Bella was deeply impressed by Alice’s aloof appearance, especially her red and blue heterochromia eyes, which prompted her to remember this Demon God, who ranked number ten in the World Destructor’s Camp.
With a Demon God available, Bella decided to rely on her. She had already forgotten her own identity of Demon God. In terms of ranking, Sacred Demon God Samantha herself came fourth. Hence, it was rather unscrupulous to form a team with the Demon God that ranked number ten.
