At Manasvir Empire’s capital, the eastern district of Macnadix City, outer periphery of the Christian Hotel. Besides the girls of Olsylvia Academy who left, Bella and her super maids, Great Demon God Angel, Great Evil God Mia, Time Space Demon Noesha, as well as Poison Origin Betty were in charge of guarding the emergency refuge location.

Important guests still remained inside of Christian Hotel, like the daughter of the empire’s western warlord, Marshal Edwin, Miss Louise, and heiress of the empire’s eastern warlord, Grand Duke Yale, adopted daughter Miss Maschuter. Both of them were now resting in the hotel’s VIP suite.

Neither of the two young mistresses could sleep, likely due to the palpitations that still remained from yesterday’s erotic banquet. Both of them were dressed in thin white silk nightgowns with nothing underneath, lounging lazily on the large bed. Louise was much calmer. She was just a messenger and didn’t have to worry about the rest, but things weren’t as simple for Maschuter. As the prospective heiress of the Yale Duchy, she had to settle many things on her own, so her mood was also very different from Louise’s.

Fierce sounds of a battle could be heard from outside of the hotel at this moment, and both of them instantly heard and jumped out of bed almost at the same time. Without even putting on their armor, they planned to peek through the crack at their doors to see what was happening outside. Through the crack in the door, they saw the shadowy figures of night demons crawling down from the tall walls surrounding the hotel.

The night demons seemed to be planning to attack the hotel, but they were counter-attacked by another group of demonic beings guarding the hotel. One by one, skeletal hands reached out from underneath the ground, holding the legs of the night demons in place as countless ghastly white phantoms surrounded the night demons, attacking and harassing them. Since both sides were demons, the resulting battle was much more intense than if one side were humans as all sorts of heads and limbs began flying around.

The night demons had received orders to eliminate Imperial Envoy Amy and the Empress’s other remaining subordinates who were hiding inside Christian Hotel. They didn’t realize that other demons were lying in wait to ambush them in the hotel as well and they were attacked as soon as they climbed down. Last night, after a little try at summoning, Demon God Angel and Evil God Mia were pleasantly surprised to find that the entire capital city of Macnadix was filled with dark souls to summon.

So, both Demon God Angel and Evil God Mia quite naturally called on a large number of demonic beings to help. If the night demons had come a little earlier, then they wouldn’t have been stuck in their current passive position. Perhaps, they may still have had the chance of successfully completing their mission. After all, they were just launching a sneak attack on Amy and the other female ministers, not any other difficult character.

Louise and Maschuter almost instantly thought to escape. To think this Christian Hotel was a sketchy place full of demons...It would be strange if they didn’t run! But just as they were about to jump out of the windows and escape, Time Space Demon Noesha and Poison Origin Betty entered their rooms at practically the same time.

With a single gesture of her hands after coming in, Time Space Demon Noesha stopped Young Mistress Maschuter in her tracks. This erotic loli’s command of spatial imprisonment magic was simply an incomprehensible existence to most opponents at a lower level than her. When she saw Maschuter’s posture as she prepared to escape, Noesha understood everything. A mysterious smile emerged on her face before she came over and grabbed Maschuter’s top.

With little effort, Noesha ripped open the thin silk nightgown she was wearing, instantly exposing the fair skin of Maschuter’s body to the air. Besides being unable to move, Maschuter was not confined in her spatial and temporal magic. When she saw the strange smile on Noesha’s face, her heart jumped. Isn’t the reaction of this shady place too quick?!

“What...What did you do? Let me go, I...Is it money you want? We...We can talk about it...”

“What money? Maschu...Miss Maschuter, it’s not safe here. Let me bring you to a safe place! If anything happens to you, it’ll be hard for us to explain the situation to Big Sister Bella!”

“I...I want to see Bella. I’m not going...”

“Big Sister Maschuter, you’re very talkative! Can you be quiet for a moment?”

Noesha casually picked up a fruit from the dining table and stuffed it into Young Mistress Maschuter’s mouth. Maschuter could only whimper softly and couldn’t shout anything anymore. Under Noesha’s command, several of her newly trained maids came in to bring Maschuter out.

In the avenue just outside of the hotel’s back entrance, Maschuter saw Louise, who had been rendered unconscious by the potion. The instant Poison Origin Betty entered, she put Young Mistress Louise to sleep with a strange sleeping potion configured for her before she could even react. The two of them were moved to a safe place by the maids and from the direction they went, Maschuter had a bad feeling. Wasn’t that the secret erotic restaurant Bella hosted their dinner in last night?

“These two big sisters, you need not worry. We’re not bringing you to do any weird dances, but it would make me very happy if you really did want to dance. I’m just bringing you there for a temporary stay before Mistress Bella returns.”

As soon as she heard that she wouldn’t have to pole dance, Maschuter breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a strange sense of loss as if she couldn’t help but feel a little sorry that she couldn’t do that strange pole dance.

In the outskirts of the largest lake around the edge of the Forest of the Wild, at the former fortress of the Forest Goblins. The girls of the Rose Society occupying this place had teamed up with the girls of the Ironblood Cross Society under Bella’s direct orders. The girls of the Ironblood Cross Society had also agreed to staying together because of Chairman Alex’s secret crush on Chief Student Union President Angelina, who was also part of the Rose Society.

The monster hunting activities for the three days of the qualifying competition would take place around the outer region, and the students were to camp in the field for two nights. Only on the third night would they be able to return during the timed returning magical teleportation array. Currently, the girls had already set up their tents and were stationed in an open spot in the center of the fortress.

The Forest Goblins’ fortress was large, but since goblins were generally only about a meter tall, the design of the fortress was also based on their own height, so many places were basically unusable for the human race. For example, the so-called walls of the fortress were only about two and a half meters tall. It was just an ordinary high wall; whether or not it could play a defensive role was still in question.

Similarly, the doors to the Forest Goblin’s rooms were less than a meter tall, so humans could only enter by crouching. Thus, the girls could only set up their tents at the more open center of the fortress as their resting spot.

The girls on duty during the first half of the night were a mix of girls from the knight and warrior departments led by Bella and President Isaman. According to the plan, it would be Swordsman Princess Kriss and one of the student union presidents of the five branch campuses, Assassin Ivy’s turn to take over during the latter half. Bella still had no idea that the demons had come to raise hell at the base camp in the capital’s Christian Hotel. Right now, she was currently chatting with President Isaman. There were quite a few girls on duty not far behind President Isaman, and since it wouldn’t do her well to ignore Bella’s harassment, she could only talk to her.

After a brief exchange, the two sides discovered many things that were off about tonight. First off, the flying demonic beings who had followed them for the live broadcast retreated way too early. It wasn’t even time to sleep yet but they had already retreated in the afternoon. Who knows if this was a deliberate arrangement? Also, there should usually be a group of high-leveled bounty hunters sent to the three hunting spots for the safety of the participating students who would be responsible for ensuring the safety of the students in the background. However, they hadn’t seen a single bounty hunter so far. This was too strange.

Thinking back to the Dark Goblin Warrior who was as tall as a human that Assassin Noreya had previously killed, it was wearing a set of standard human assassin equipment on its body. Those clothes couldn’t have been left behind by the bounty hunters, right? When they thought of this, both Bella and President Isaman fell into a short, dazed silence.

A deafening roar of thunder suddenly emerged from the sky in a loud boom, making most of the girls who were keeping watch at night jump. Bella looked up, only to see countless bouts of lightning and thunder swirling in the dark sky. The sky got dark so fast today not because it was time, but because it was covered by the clouds.

Bella subconsciously gripped the knight’s sword in her hand. In this otherworld dimension, it’s normal to see thunder and rainfall, except for at night, where it was dominated by grey clouds. These black ones were generally caused by abnormal artificial causes. There were demonic beings manipulating the strange weather.

At the sound of thunder, Bella’s small hand was suddenly taken by another dainty and soft hand. She looked over and saw President Isaman’s slightly red cheeks, and she was looking away slightly embarrassedly. President Isaman’s hand was covered in sweat. Turns out this usually strong and beautiful student union president was afraid of the thunder.

“Isaman, if you’re scared of the thunder, just say so! It’s so eerie tonight, I thought I was being grabbed by a spirit or something.”

“That’s enough from you, Bella! Are there spirits as beautiful as I am? Don’t speak, just let me hold your hand for a bit!”

President Isaman didn’t intend to talk back to her this time. She was very close to Bella right now. The other girls on duty had given their full attention to all the thunder and were unaware of the hand holding going on with Bella and Isaman. While the thunder continued, a strong wind began rising up around the entire lake area as if it was a harbinger of a big storm. The wind was so strong and so cold that those who were in it could feel a strange chill and they couldn’t help but shiver along with it.

It didn’t take long for a big rain to pour down in the lake area. Many large drops of rain fell directly on top of Bella and the others. The fortress of the Forest Goblins had no roof so Bella and the others were completely drenched in an instant. The tents of the girls were soaked as well.

Even though the tents in this other world shared the same style as those on earth, the material was different, which made the tents not waterproof. The girls in the camp were probably all drenched now, but they were all hiding in their tents, unwilling to come out because of the heavy rain.

To tell the truth, nobody liked being caught in a storm, but Bella had volunteered to keep watch on night duty so no matter how terrible it was, she could only suck it up and keep on. The other girls on night duty also continued to hold their posts when they saw that Bella didn’t complain. With the leader serving as an example, the others wouldn’t back down either.

Under the baptism of the storm, the torches that were used to light the fortress were soon wet and extinguished by the rain. As the storm extinguished the campfire and all the torches, the entire lake area, except for during the occasional flash of lightning, was plunged into darkness.

“Go inform the magic department...Uh, what’s wrong with you guys?”

Bella was just about to ask the girls on duty to call the girls from the magic division to come out and use their light magic to illuminate the place in place of the torches, but she had only just realized that the girls standing on duty were now sitting helplessly on their knees except for her and Isaman. Previously, Bella’s attention had all been on President Isaman, and President Isaman’s attention wasn’t on those girls either. So, while the two leading girls weren’t paying attention, all the girls under them were inexplicably “wiped out”.

“President, we... We’re suddenly out of energy...can’t move...”

“President...the lake...There’s...There are phantoms, or...they’re coming!”

The rain in this storm most likely targeted humans. Besides Kriss and Bella’s other roommates who had run out, the girls in the tent had all fallen to their knees. Now, the only ones still standing in the entire fortress are Bella and her roommates, as well as President Isaman. None of them were of pure human race and belonged to the disguised kind.

Bella and the others looked at each other a little awkwardly, but none of them said anything and pretended as if nothing strange was going on. They’ve obviously already been revealed as non-human, so it’s better to just act as if nothing had happened so that they did not incur the surprise of the other girls. Bella’s personal demon familiar, Demon World Princess Diaz was currently exploring the depths of the Forest of the Wild so Bella wasn’t going to make an emergency recall for the time being. Right now, the fortress could only be guarded by her, a Demon King, President Isaman, and the six Black Warriors.

In the midst of the storm, a large group of black humanoid shadows approached the fortress. They were arranged in neat squares just like the orderly troops of the imperial army soldiers. Then, through the illumination of the lightning, Bella had a clear look at the enemy. It was a group of Dark Goblin Warriors in proper human gear.

The Dark Goblin Warriors were almost the same height as adult human men, they were all 1.8 to 2 meter variants of the Dark Goblins. Even though they followed the tradition of goblins not forging any equipment or weapons, their strength was still very high and they would equip themselves with equipment looted from humans. In terms of their fighting ability, they were several times stronger than the Forest Goblin Warriors.

If you really had to give the Dark Goblin Warriors a score, then if you start with ten points for each kill, Bella estimated from the dense rows of approaching Dark Goblin Warriors that after defeating this wave of demonic beings, the girls would very likely overtake the boys.

The number of Dark Goblin Warriors that approached them was estimated to be in the tens of thousands, no less than the Forest Goblin Warriors that were stationed at the fortress this morning. Fortunately, Bella and the other girls who had their own “cheat items” did not go down, otherwise the plot might end up turning into a hentai direction. Besides having black skin and goblin heads, the Dark Goblin Warriors were no different from normal human men.

Bella subconsciously looked across the lake at the girls’ camp. That is where the rivals of the Rose Society, Golden Legend Society and Mask of Darkness Society’s girls were stationed. There’s a chance they’d really been “wiped out”. The rain was so strong that Bella’s vision was affected, becoming a bit blurry. And, with the torches on the shore being extinguished by the rain as well, there was no light for Bella to judge the situation of the girls camping on the other side of the lake.

Standing at the forefront of the Dark Goblin army was the Goblin Elite Commandos in full metal armor and holding super long spears. They were all holding their spears uniformly in one direction and began marching over in formation. The fortress’s less than 3 meter long fences weren’t enough to stop their advance at all, so they’d all be done for if the army got close.

They must not allow the Dark Goblin army to enter the fortress. If they spread out, then as seven people, Bella and the others wouldn’t be able to protect all the girls. The critical point of this stormy battle was whether or not Bella and the others could stop the Dark Goblin Army at the outer periphery of the fortress.

“President Isaman, join the two magic professions, Elaine and Ariel in guarding the fortress. I, Kriss, younger sister Lisha, and Noreya will be in charge of blocking them! Just hold on for an hour and we can fight back!”

“Bella, will this really be okay? They...”

“Of course. I’ve already arranged for backup. We’ll have reinforcements soon. Of course Kriss and the others will be fine, because everyone’s...You know it.”

“I mean...Forget it, be careful out there!”

Isaman was trying to ask if this would reveal anything to the paralyzed girls but Bella obviously misunderstood and mistakenly thought that Isaman was asking if they were up for the job. Of course Bella said it was fine, she had already sent an urgent message to her demon familiar, Demon World Princess Diaz, telling her to quickly summon some demonic beings to come help.

For Bella plus Kriss and the other black warriors, exterminating this group of Dark Goblins was no big deal. It’d just be a little legendary if word got out. A few people exterminated more than ten thousand Dark Goblin Warriors. Things would be bad if they ended up attracting the Imperial Alliance’s investigation, So, Bella planned to block the group of Dark Goblin Warriors and then wait for reinforcements from Demon World Princess Diaz to arrive, creating the illusion of a civil war between demons while Bella and the girls took the opportunity to pick up the scraps.

In this pouring night, Bella and the rest used a four-man formation of two knights plus a swordsman and an assassin to block the army of over ten thousand Dark Goblin Warriors. This blockade that was amazing enough to go down in continental history was only discovered many years after since it was too dark and there weren’t many witnesses.

“Noreya, you and Kriss hold your positions. Lisha and I will be in charge of drawing aggro. Please trust in me!”

“Yeah, Bella. We’ll trust your judgement.”
