The Villains Need to Save the World? Chapter 265

Published at 25th of November 2020 05:02:14 PM

Alessandra Academy’s Eiffel Hotel in the Emerson Business District of the Filomena Nobility Academy at Olsylvia Academy’s northern campus. 

At the Flower Fairy Race’s original treasure storage space on the tenth floor of the hotel, Bella and Lolita were carefully exploring the area. 

In reality, the ninth and tenth floors were not connected by any stairs. Bella had retrieved the location of the actual entrance from the attached spirit’s memory fragment. Other than this particular entrance, the other paths were simply trains of thought that were filled with traps. Since Bella was in her Demon God state, those traps would not cause her any harm. However, they would probably delay her progress. As daylight was approaching in a few hours, time was of the essence. 

The layout of the ninth and tenth floors was similar, as though they were replicas. The only difference was that the rooms on the ninth floors were guest suites while the rooms on the tenth floor had been converted into storage rooms. After the Dark Elf Princess Milia entered this place once, the tenth floor had become a restricted area due to some unknown reason. 

Bella did not dare to compliment the Flower Fairy Race’s choice of treasures as those were too far from her own personal tastes. The Flower Fairy Race did not covet silver or gold as treasures and prefered to collect various precious flowers instead. However, due to the large amounts of dark energy in the surroundings, those flowers had mutated over time and turned into Devil’s Flowers that were cursed and covered in an ominous aura. 

Those Devil’s Flowers were extremely sensitive to the aura of dark entities. When Bella and Lolita walked past them, the flowers were so frightened by the Sacred Demon God Bella’s horrifying aura that they began to tremble in fear. Just like the ninth floor, the tenth floor was dimly lit as well. Bella did not want to expose herself by using magic to illuminate her path and could only fumble around in the dark. 

Based on the attached spirit’s memories, the most powerful demonic beings on the tenth floor were those mutated flowers. As Bella was a Demon God, they did not dare to challenge her. If it had been anyone else, the Devil’s Flowers would not be as docile. Bella could see piles of bones under many of those flowers. 

Bella was surprised to see human figures around the corner. However, those humans were not good looking and were all ferocious looking men. Judging by their appearance, it was the consequence of normal people forcing themselves into practicing death spirit or curse type magic. Since they had no magical talent, they had to use all sorts of crooked, dishonest ways to practice those forms of magic, which led to their distorted appearance. 

Considering their circumstances, they were rather pitiful. A normal person with a relatively good life would not choose to practice magic that demanded such a high price. Bella decided not to do anything. At the moment, she was wearing a black demon mask and a heavy black cloak, just like a witch who practiced curse magic. Lolita, who was standing behind her, was dressed in a similar manner as well. With the limited illumination, they managed to blend into the surroundings. 

The death spirit wizards were currently meditating. Since Bella was currently in her Demon God state, she could not be detected at all through basic perception. Thus Bella and Lolita managed to avoid those meditating wizards and finally reached their target location – the main treasure vault on the Eiffel Hotel’s tenth floor. 

The Mable Flower was right inside this room. Those death spirit wizards seemed to belong to some dark organization that the attached spirit could not recall. Anyway, Bella did not care too much about it as that information was not important to her, a Demon God. 

“Are you the newcomers? Come with me, quickly. The ceremony is about to begin…”

There was a strange square built into the central region of the tenth floor which looked like an altar. Once Bella and Lolita entered the area, they were shown the way by two dark disciples. Bella nodded slightly, expressing that she understood. Those dark disciples were wearing black cloaks and terrifying masks that had demon type designs on them as well. They must have mistaken Bella for their comrade. 

The altar had an horrifyingly creepy atmosphere. A bunch of gigantic carnivorous plants were growing in the middle of the altar. Those plants were so large that Bella could not tell how high they were. However, their leaves were already creeping across the ceiling. 

The altar was surrounded by the vines of the carnivorous plants and there were remnants of human bones everywhere. These plants must be some kind of abyss demonic being. Although they could not be considered to be abyss demonic kings, given enough time, they would eventually evolve into that state. 

A hint of murderous intent flashed through Bella’s heart. Those that became abyss demonic kings through self-sufficient evolutions were extremely troublesome entities. They could not be controlled by a Demon King, nor did they wish to become a follower of a Demon God. The best way to deal with such entities would be to permanently get rid of them before the carnivorous plants matured.

As Bella had absorbed the attached spirit’s energy earlier, some aspects of her Demon God self had surfaced without her original form’s knowledge – such as robbing the energy of low level demonic beings. In comparison to that attached spirit, those carnivorous plants were much more powerful. To her, they simply seemed like a larger “prey”.

Along the carnivorous plant’s vines, there were around five or six maiden warriors who had already been captured. Their clothes and equipment had been dissolved by the special acid secreted by those demonic beings. Those pure snow white bodies had countless vines wrapped around them. The maiden warriors had terrified expressions on their faces, some of them were shedding tears of desperation. Their dainty mouths had been secured by those vines, preventing them from attempting to kill themselves by biting their tongues. 

Bella glanced over at those maiden warriors. Most of them were brunettes while a couple of them were blond. Each of them had a magical imprint on their chests that represented their identity. According to the attached spirit’s memory fragment, those warriors belonged to the Guardian Race. 

The Guardian Race were entities that guarded each dimensional Other World. They could be considered as a support organization for each dimension’s Savior Camp. If Bella were to follow the path of a Savior, she would have acted like those male Saviors who had trained up to a certain standard. They would then visit the Guardian’s village. From there, they would obtain tasks and missions to save the world or the powerful Golden Finger. 

Those female warriors were not only pretty, they were rather powerful as well. If they were to be put up against the belles of Olsylvia Academy, excluding “outliers” like Kriss and Lisha, they would definitely be in the running. Something must have gone wrong. Otherwise, they would not have been defeated like this. Bella did not think that those female warriors would have made the rookie mistake of not anticipating the carnivorous plant demonic being’s toxic smoke attack as they had destroyed most of the demonic beings. They must have been caught unawares for them to be captured this easily. 

When the female warriors caught sight of Bella, they were shocked. As warriors of the Guardian Race, they could easily see the evil aura that emanated from demonic beings. Even though Bella and Lolita were dressed as Black Robed Witches, they could not hide their powerful dark energy as it had already exceeded the strength of a Demon King.

“Those few female warriors are so much trouble. However, they are still unable to escape Her Majesty’s traps!”

“Such quality… I wonder if Mable, Her Majesty, would give me one of them for me to experiment on!”

The group of black cloaked men standing closest to Bella was having a hushed discussion. Bella decided to ignore them. Those fellows deserved their ugly fate as death spirit wizards. When they saw a group of beautiful naked maidens, their first thought was not the usual matters but to take them as subjects for their experiments. What a waste!

The Mable Flower grew in the middle of the altar. That flower that represented the Love God looked like a fiery red flower. However, Bella could instinctively tell that the flower’s color was rather unusual and too vibrant, as though it had been dyed that way. Furthermore, although Bella could feel the God Race’s aura, it was not pure. Bella had come into intimate contact with the God Race’s Second Generation Death Goddess Maureen and Water Goddess Selma. It was enough to know what the aura of a true, pure God would feel like.

However, the additional aura on the Mable Flower was exceptionally well hidden. If not for the fact that Bella had some contact with a pure member of the God Race and her Demon God abilities, she would not have been able to detect those underlying abnormalities that easily. Most Humans would not be able to tell that the Mable Flower over there had already been tainted. In fact, rather than being a Sacred Object, it could very well be an evil one.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot into the pathway outside the main room. That pure holy aura was rather offensive, even for Bella. She and Lolita swiftly took a couple of steps back, narrowly avoiding the attack. The pair of Black Robed Wizards were not as fortunate and had been incinerated into dust. 

“Enemy attack. Damn it, what are those death spirit wizards at the door doing?”

“That light…”

The black robed wizard who had been standing closest to Bella was turned to dust by a ray of golden light before he could finish his sentence. After the light was gone, Bella saw a golden arrow embedded in the ground which still had remnants of a holy aura. It seemed like the warriors had come back for their comrades once they knew that some of them had been captured. 

Since Bella did not know any magic, she picked up a black magic staff from one of her temporary comrades earlier and pretended to collapse and “die” after making a few strokes with it. Lolita quickly followed suit and had “died” along with her, falling right next to Bella. 

The attackers were a female warrior reinforcement group from the Guardian Race. They did not dare to enter the Eiffel Hotel earlier due to the chaotic energy disturbance above it and had barged in after the Demonic Dragon Emperor Lisha and the others were done with their fight. The black robed wizards did not sit back and watch as they were attacked either. They had each summoned a dark demonic being to prevent the warriors from progressing further into the hotel.

By now, that enormous carnivorous plant seemed to have a mind of its own. Many of those vines had reached into the captured maiden warriors’ mouths, as though it was forcefully injecting them with some form of strange fluid. Once they ingested it, the maiden warriors’ mouths were numbed by that special poisonous liquid and they could not say a single word.

The death spirit wizards’ resistance was futile as the warriors of the Guardian Race were far too powerful. The room was quickly filled by the corpses of those wizards and fresh blood was splattered all over the vines in front of the giant carnivorous plant. The reason why Bella and Lolita had faked their deaths was to secretly observe the Guardian Race’s warriors. 

“Everyone, be careful. We have lost too many already. This time, we must successfully rescue Her Majesty, the Love God Mable.”

“Look, aren’t those the comrades that came in before us? Ladies, come with me. Gentlemen, stay here. I doubt they have been tainted by that filth yet.”

A team of more than ten guardians successfully entered the room. They were led by two bubbly young maidens, one of them was a golden haired beautiful swordsman while the other was a stunning brunette maiden archer. Their team was made up of both males and females. However, the room was too dark and Bella could not see their appearances and could only vaguely make out two blurry figures. 

When the reinforcement team arrived and saw the humiliating state that their captured comrades were in, the leaders immediately ordered the female warriors to follow them and the male warriors to remain behind to await further orders. Although they were all from the same village, the Guardian Race was still extremely traditional and conservative and would never allow any male warrior to catch a single glimpse of a female warrior’s body. 

A dark red phantom suddenly appeared in the vicinity of the Mable Flower. She stood in front of the female warriors who had come as reinforcements, preventing them from rescuing their captured comrades. With the appearance of that phantom, the captured female warriors opened their mouths to warn their comrades that there was a problem with the God who had appeared in front of them as it was a corrupted one. However, their efforts were all in vain. 

Since the effects of the numbing toxins had not subsided, the trapped female warriors could not say anything at all and could only watch as their comrades eventually fell into the same trap they did. Most importantly, they wanted to warn them that the most horrifying entity on this floor was not this corrupted God. The real dangers here were Bella and Lolita, who were leaning comfortably against the wall. 

According to legend, the Love God Mable was one of the high ranking Gods. When the Twelve Demon Kings invaded the God World, the God Race was met with a great calamity and was annihilated along with their world. Based on the Radiant Church’s confidential documents and records, the Love God Mable should have died at the hands of one of the Twelve Demon Kings ten thousand years ago.

Bella continued to discreetly observe the Love God Mable who had suddenly appeared. The more she looked at her, the more she thought that there was a serious problem with that Love God. The Love God Mable had pink hair and had a pair of pure white angel wings on her back. Her white robe was extremely translucent and basically revealed her lovely figure. 

Bella instinctively felt that this Love God was rather fake and did not leave her with a good feeling at all. The Love God Mable was clearly gorgeous and was even more beautiful than the Second Generation Death Goddess Maureen and Water Goddess Selma. However, there was a falseness to her that Bella could not place. As Bella had seen and admired countless beautiful girls, she had a keen eye and was able to spot any flaw on their bodies.

It did not take long before Bella found the problem. It was the pair of white angel wings on the Love God Mable’s back. The base of those wings that connected to her back was black. Those wings were fake and there was a chance that they were originally black. 

“Your Majesty, we are warriors from the Guardian Race. Earlier on, we received a divine oracle and we have specially come to save you!”

When the Love God Mable appeared, those maiden warriors who were going to save their comrades paused their attempts. Those captured warriors frantically tried to use their eyes to express that there was something wrong with this Love God Mable. However, due to the dim lighting and the evil sorcery that limited human sight, the two leaders of the reinforcement team could not see the looks of warning that their captured comrades had sent their way. 

“Very good. By the way, come closer. You can put away your weapons too, it’s safe here.”

The Love God Mable spoke gently, coaxing the female warriors of the reinforcement team. Her voice was slightly empty and sounded a little strange. However, the other female warriors did not notice anything at all. Demonic beings were unable to mimic a God’s aura. This time, history would lead to the warriors’ downfall as they had never encountered a situation where a God would betray their own faith.

As expected, once the female warriors from the reinforcement team put away all their weapons, countless vines reached out from the ground and wrapped themselves around the female warriors who had let their guard down. Bella was impressed by the vines’ experienced moves. While the vines entangled around the female warriors, the spikes quickly injected the numbing toxins into their bodies. Afterwards, the special acid secreted by the vines quickly dissolved the clothes and equipment on the female warriors’ bodies.

The male warriors in the distance still had not noticed that something had gone wrong. A flurry of strange sounds could be heard coming from their direction before everything fell silent. When Bella glanced over, she could not see anyone standing there anymore. The male warriors of the Guardian Race must have been attacked and instantly killed by some unknown attacker.

“Your Majesty, Love God Mable… you…”

“What Love God, that God of yours has already surrendered to our Demon King… Now, she’s merely a pawn in our Demon King’s hands. You shall become fertilizer…”

“No, a God can never be corrupted. You…”

The corrupted Love God Mable let out a strange laugh and her features instantly melted away. That “god” did not even have eyes and had two black empty eye sockets in their place. It looked extremely creepy. When she laughed, her entire chin seemed to dislocate and did not fuse back together, almost like the “slit mouthed woman” from Bella’s previous life. 

The pure white pair of wings on the Love God Mable’s back instantly turned into a pair of black fallen angel wings. The female warriors who had been restrained by the vines quickly lost their ability to struggle. They stared at the now-active carnivorous plant with horror in their eyes. The leaders of the reinforcement team, the maiden swordsman and archer, cried tears of regret as their carelessness was now going to cause the demise of the entire team.
