The Villains Need to Save the World? Volume 1 Chapter 43

—TL—

June will be the last month with guaranteed double updates per week, I am also working on stocking chapters for the summer because I will be away for 6 weeks due to training. After I return will be my final year of high school, and I will have to work REALLY hard it I want to get into the university that I want. Meaning that from July 2018 on, The Villains Need to Save the World? will have a minimum of 1 chapter a week but I will make up 2 chapters for every 1 that I miss, I've also set up a Patreon with goals that people can pledge to for more chapters.

Sorry,

The small town of Paknir that had once been overrun with infected had regained some semblance of its former peace. The town was too quiet, however, as none of Paknir's original residents had survived the outbreak, with most having been infected almost immediately and the rest were lead unwittingly by their mayor, Baron Jeffrey, to their deaths.

The manor that the void monarch Clement owned had now become the town's new city hall. Within a heavily guarded flower garden, three of the Church of Light's holy maidens were sitting around a table topped to the brim with food prepared by numerous ghost maids that still floated around them awaiting further instructions.

"Why aren't you eating Hayley? There's no need to be scared of poison, look, I've already eaten so much! Anyways, aren't you hungry at all?"

"Daisy, this is a town run by evil beings, you should remember that regardless of what faction you belong to, you are still one of the Church of Light's holy maidens! Don't you care about…"

"Just give in, Hayley, those ghost maids have been looking at us nonstop this entire time. If you try to starve yourself, they'll probably force you to eat."

Hayley looked around at the ghost maids who were floating around them and could only give in and eat, out of fear of being held down and forcefully fed. Although the three of them had recovered their strength, but they had already been split up from the Church's templar knights and they were also left in an almost completely nude state and it would definitely hurt the Church of Light's image if the three holy maidens were to be seen in public like this.

Right now the 3 holy maidens weren't exactly completely nude, but only because Bella had taken advantage of when the three of them were powerless and had forcefully dressed them each in a set of jeweled lingerie that Bella had designed herself. Each set of lingerie was expertly inlaid with a small number various precious jewels and magic cores.

Bella's mischievous side had definitely taken over when she had given the holy maidens this type of underwear, such eye grabbing lingerie would definitely get everyone's attention if the holy maidens were to escape, meaning that unless the holy maidens wanted to be publicly seen in such an embarrassing state, they could only wait her for Bella to return.

"Sophia, what do you plan to do? You are the 1st holy maiden after all, shouldn't you have the strongest ability among us?"

"What can we do, these sets of lingerie seem to have some sort of magic lock on them, we can't exactly take it off. We should discuss what to do when Bella comes back later, does anyone know what she wants? We're in a situation in which our life and death depends on her right now."

Sophia didn't have any ideas either, there were many powerful dark existences in Paknir keeping eyes on them right now, and there weren't any clothing here that the holy maidens could wear over the jeweled lingerie. They also didn't know whether or not the outbreak outside had been contained, no matter how Sophia looked at the situation, it seemed that it would be best if they just stayed here instead.

In the military town of Sakerid's Weir Church, behind the broken remains of a statue of the god of light. Bella had already let go of the now limp-bodied Liz, who now lied on the the church's ground and looked at Bella with a flushed face, as if something intimate had just happened between the two of them.

"I've already cured you Liz, you don't need to worry about turning into one of those infected anymore."

"Bella, you… you're to mean! Doing… those kind of things to me…"

Liz looked at Bella with a little fearr in her eyes, as this overbearing girl had used the excuse of curing Liz to kiss every part of Liz's body. Even though the treatment seemed to have worked, Liz couldn't exactly accept this kind of stuff where both parties were girls…

"Liz, I've left my mark over your entire body, you can only belong to me for the rest of your life! I can give you the dark power that you desire, isn't that what your Church of Darkness has always been looking for?"

"Are you shameless, Bella? I…"

"If the next words that come out of your mouth are to reject me Liz, I'll carry you over there and continue doing what we were doing earlier in front of those girls, and I won't stop until you agree to be mine~!"

"Don't… spare me please, I won't object."

"It looks to me that you still wan't to escape, how about this, you sign a demonic contract with me, one of those that the Church of Darkness uses when one of their members sell their soul to a demon. Give me both your body and your soul!"

"Bella, as one of the Church of Darkness' unholy maidens, my body has been destined to be used as a sacrifice to demons, so that they may grant our Church some of their power. You should think of something else that you want… unless you're a demon king or something…"

"That's great then, you were destined to be mine! I'm actually a…"

Bella whispered a few words into Liz's ear, who froze in shock before finally agreeing to Bella's overbearing demands. Bella looked up mockingly at the statue of the god of light that had long lost its upper body. She thought about how much more satisfying it would have been if the girl in her embrace was replaced with one of the Church of Light's four holy maidens, the ecstatic feeling of tainting the god of light's devoted servants before the god's presence was definitely something that Bella wished to experience in the future.

The Weir Church had been surrounded by a vast number of infected but could only charge the church's entrance a few at a time due the limitations in size. The infected zombies had threw themselves several dozen times at the Weir Church's entrance but had yet to succeed in breaking through the thin line of dark warriors that protected the entrance. Within the horde of zombies, a peculiar zombie was extreye catching, it was nearing five meter tall, meaning that it definitely had not simply one of Sakerid's infected inhabitants, as this size was already close to that of some of Bella's subordinate dark suzerains.

Right at this time, the dark warriors who were actually Skyme's avatars suddenly dashed to the sides, parting way for the knights who had charged out of the church. 《Charge》 was normally a skill that required a knight to be mounted in order to use but after many years of development, knights with the cultivation of holy knight and above had found a way to use 《Charge》 even without a mount, somewhat solving the problem of knights losing much of their combat ability after being dismounted in battle.

There were six knights that had charged out of the church's doors: Bella, Dolores, Eleanor, Irene, Lisha, and Roland. Multiple holy knights charging together was quite a sight to behold, even more so since many of them were much stronger than just holy knights, further increasing the power of the unified 《Charge》. The zombies immediately outside of the doorway were launched back, flying at least 50 meters, leaving behind a trail of shattered limbs and body parts.

However, these infected were different from the zombies of this world, they were unable to sense the aura of this dimension's demon kings so they didn't fear the three demon kings, continuing their relentless charge. Bella and the other knights didn't continue to 《Charge》, instead they took a unified step backwards and set up defensive positions in front of Lisha without so much as a word passing between them. Even though Lisha was a knight, but she was able to use magic, meaning that she could temporarily fill the vacant position of mage.

The charging zombies hadn't even reached the female knight's defensive position before they were hit with a barrrage of several dozen different types of magic, all casted in an instant without any chanting. It didn't take long before the area where the zombies once were had been turned into a smoking wasteland.

Bella was the closest to Lisha and she looked back enviously at the knight who was using her sword as a mgic staff. During their last fight, Bella had been unable to see properly due the ditance, but now that they were clsoe she was able to confirm that Lisha's magic was casted immediately. Even though they were just some low and medium-tier magics, the power of several dozen of them added together was close to that of some high-tier magics.

"Lisha, can you use any high-tier magic?"

"Fe… Bellnee, I only know low and mid-tier magic, I'm unable to use high-tier magic in my current state. That princess of the demon world up there is using high tier magic though."

Lisha's current body was indeed unable to use high-tier magic, but if she changed forms back to the 【Demon Dragon Empress】 Alisha, high-tier magic was nothing more than child's paly. Above Bella and the other knights, the demon world's princess Hadias had spread her demonic wings and remained unmoving, seemingly chanting a spell.

"All you low-life zombies should just turn into dust!" Hadias swung a long sword with both of her hands towards the zombies on the ground and a long and black blade of energy cut through the ranks of the infected, travelling over 300 meters before it finally dissipated. This was one of the demon lord's ultimate abilities 《Dark Calamity》 and had awesomely destroyed over a thousand zombies.

Hadias looked a little unsatisfied at the effects of her ability, probably because she had activated the ability using the celestial sword 《Light of Dawn》, the demon world's inhabitants were completely unable to use any celestial world's god-tier equipment{1} due to the sheer difference between their races. The god-tier equipment that Lisha collected had already been used by the 【Demon Dragon Empress】 so they could no longer be considered truly celestial, which was why Hadias was able to use it even though she was from the demon world.

Even though the god-tier equipment was useable, but the reduction in power was unavoidable. It was the equipment of a god after all, it was already rather unnatural to have been able to use one of the demon world's ultimate abilities with it. If Hadias had used one of the demon world's top-tiered equipment when she had casted 《Dark Calamity》, the blade of energy could have pierced straight through the town of Sakerid and destroy a nearby village. The only reason why 《Dark Calamity》 travelled only 300 meters was because 《Light of Dawn》 had negated over 90% of its power.

Of course, Hadias wasn't the only that faced this awkward problem. Of Bella's adventuring party, only Liz and Lisha's power was unaffected, every other beauty was weakened by some extent while using their god-tier equipment. Irene and Lola were practically demons already and even though Roland and Annie were still human, they carried some of the aura of a demon king due to being around them for too long.

The Church of Darkness' 3rd unholy maiden Liz stood at the Weir Church's doorway, she had already changed into the outfit that Bella had gifted her 'Traveller of the Styx', the elaborate black cleric outfit had been imbued with extremely strong dark magic, stronger than even that of the dark pope.

Apart from the outfit, Liz had also received a new staff 'Guide of the Styx', the compensation and replacement for the staff that Bella had snapped in half earlier. Going by power alone, this 'Guide of the Styx' was levels above the nameless white-bone staff that Liz used previously. The only problem that Liz had was that Bella hadn't given her any underwear, forcing her to 'make do without' just like everyone else.

After finding out that the loli flying above them was the princess of the demon world, Liz completely gave in to Bella. The Church of Darkness' faith was the demon world, and whoever had the ability to make the demon world's princess their familiar was definitely a villain worthy of Liz spending her entire life to follow.

Near the black castle at the center of the forgotten Alfred continent, on an open field lay a several dozen broken and battered bodies, near each body were several eye-catching weapons that anyone would be able to tell weren't any normal weapons. Apart from all the bodies, there was also a church nearby. Right now, the doors to the St. Emilia church were wide open, evidently meaning that someone had been here recently.

A dark shadow sat on the bench outside of the St. Emilia church, seemingly pondering about some problems. Completely ignoring the golden haired loli that had appeared out of nowhere not far from her, there definitely weren't very many people in the universe that could simply ignore 【Light Creator】 Vianne like this.

"What is your reason for coming to this dimension… what are you after?"

"I'm here to look for Samantha, she should be somewheer in this dimension. I can tell that all of this continent's evil beings were created by her, but it's strange that I can't sense her person at all!"

"So that's your reason! Right, what's up with all those dead transmigrators over there?"

Vianne didn't tell the Worldbreaker's chief any information about her little sister Samantha, even though Vianne knew that Bella was Samantha. Vianne knew that if the Worldbreaker's chief were to find out, she wouldn't stay here so peacefully, it was unimaginable what would happen if this existence that could so easy defeat Vianne was unleashed on the outside world.

"Hmph, all of these stupid males were summoned Saviours. I've already sent them back to their original dimension. This dimension's Creator should have been played to death by that Troublemaker brat, why are there still Saviours being summoned? Vianne, is it you that…"

"I'm not involved in anyway! Don't get so worked up, you should also know that the Saviours that a Creator summons can only be of the same gender as the Creator that summoned them. I'm the leader of the female Creators, even if I were to summon Saviours, they'd be female! Anyways, us female Creators aren't like those male Creators, playing the same Saviour vs Demon King game all the time."

Vianne hurriedly explained, she didn't want to cross arms with this chief of the Worldbreakers. Even though the chief wasn't of the dark attribute, she could easily suppress Vianne's light attribute. In Vianne's memory, this chief had killed at least a dozen Creators, with the most recent being the 12th dimension's Creator, taking him away in just one blow.

It was fortunate that this Chielf only killed male Creators and didn't seek any trouble with the female Creators. Which was why Vianne had dared to come see her so casually.

"What had gone wrong? Had that brat messed up… no, that's impossible, it's a 50-50 between me and that brat, this dimension's Creator definitely isn't that strong!"

"I'll investiage this when I get back, but can you control the Worldbreakers that had entered this dimension? This dimension is already…"

"Alright, I can arrange for most Worldbreakers that enter her by accident to attack another dimension, but I can't chase away those that came here just to admire me, but I've kept them around me here. Apart from that spoiled Elise who had snuck through some other entrance not long ago, all the other Worldbreakers come through the rift here.

"That's good then, 【Tenebrous Demon God】 Elise isn't one of the more destructive Worldbreakers either, I'll keep an eye out for her, just for you."

Outside of Sakerid's Weir Church, the large majority of the zombies that had surrounded the church had been elimiated and the rest were stopped from approaching by Noesha using time and space magic. Currently Bella's party had encircled the five-meter tall zombie and were working together to fall the giant. It wasn't easy, however, as the zombie's defence was shockingly high and also had some semblance of intelligence.

—TL NOTES—
{1} Implied that other dimensions have their own 'Celestial World', also god-tier equipment is only something that had been used/forged by a celestial god
