The Villains Need to Save the World?

In the hidden area of the Forest of the Wild, the central oasis of the Thunder Canyon, flying Thunder Dragon had encountered dozens of tricky Abyss Demonic Insects. After absorbing the blood and energy from the Draconians’ bodies, the mutated Abyss Crypt Insects had abnormally evolved into very terrifying humongous Abyss Demonic Insects, posing a significant threat to the Thunder Dragon.

The Thunder Dragon sent out a huge wave of thunder attacks in an attempt to paralyze the Abyss Demonic Insects that were approaching her, but the effects weren’t apparent. These Abyss Demonic Insects belonged to the category that was afraid of fire attacks, but not lightning. The lightning attack couldn’t even slow their ability to fly. Coupled with the fact that the Thunder Dragon seemed to be afraid of insects, it had put her into a more passive position.

The Thunder Dragon was afraid of the terrifying-looking Abyss Insect Race solely because of her gender. While the Thunder Dragon in the sky was busy fighting for its life as it was surrounded by attacking giant Abyss Demonic Insects, Bella and Isaman headed to the Thunder Altar location. Behind them was a large, dense group of mutated Abyss Crypt Insects following them. From the outside, the Abyss Crypt Insects seemed to be hunting down these two beautiful human maidens, but upon closer inspection, it looked like that they were actually from the same team.

Sally Roy and Veronica had already been placed in the rear. Before Bella and Isaman had arrived, the Draconians had already been fighting with the Abyss Crypt Insects. Draconians and Abyss Crypt Insects could be seen fighting almost anywhere. With the advantage in reproduction speed, the Abyss Crypt Insects had larger numbers, which meant that the Draconians could hardly fight back.

The Thunder Altar was located right at the heart of the Draconian village. This was a sacred site that had been guarded since the Draconian Race’s era, but now, it was being invaded by Abyssal Races. Bella didn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt. The Draconian’s sacred ground was sacred to only their own; it had nothing to do with Bella. Moreover, Bella really couldn’t compliment the behavior of these Draconians.

On the way to the Altar, priests had erected the pillars, and skeletons were chained to each of them. The skulls of the skeletons were smashed open, likely done when they were killed during their rituals. All the skeletons belonged to humans, and from how badly decayed the skeletons seemed, they must have been there for a long time.

Judging from the looks, the skeletons belonged to adventurers who were lucky enough to enter this oasis region in the past but couldn’t get out. Some of the rituals practiced by the Draconians were similar to those of the cannibals on Earth. They were a race that liked to sacrifice living humans. If they couldn’t reason with a barbaric race, the only choice was to dispose of them in similarly barbaric ways.

With Abyss Crypt Insects opening the way, Bella and Priest Isaman slashed their way through the Draconians to the Thunder Altar, which they had been protecting for thousands of years. The Thunder Altar was a very tall platform building. When Bella arrived, there were bodies of Draconians and Abyss Crypt Insects scattered all over the gigantic stone stairs leading up to the Altar. Upon seeing Bella’s arrival, an Abyss Crypt Insect hurried over to report on the situation.

“My queen, the Draconians are standing guard at the top of the Altar, so we couldn’t rush in. There is a strange lightning array guarding it. However, we have already eradicated all the Draconians near the Altar. They have no way to escape.”

“Got it. Keep up the guard work, I’ll go check on the situation at the Altar.”

When Bella arrived at the Thunder Altar, she saw a transparent dark blue lightning barrier enveloping the highest platform on the Altar. The remaining dozens of Draconian warriors were up there, hiding behind the barrier. They were intent on confronting the Abyss Crypt Insects to the bitter end. On the Altar were their offerings to the Thunder Dragon. All sorts of gold and silverware treasures were piled on the ground. The Dragon Race had pretty much the same hobbies. It was either wealth or beauties. 

Bella had already seen enough of the treasures, so she didn’t even spare it a second glance. What the Draconians offered were basically the treasure they looted from the adventurers, which was nothing more than a pile of gold and the equipment stripped from the adventurers’ bodies. Bella’s gaze turned to the beautiful women serving as the sacrifices since this sacrifice seemed unusually bountiful.

On both sides of the Altar were a dozen sacrificial pillars, and a beautiful woman was bound with iron chains on each of them with their arms and legs spread. Their bodies were completely stripped, their eyes were covered with dark clothes, and their mouths were filled with balls of cloth. It seemed like they were the adventurers who came here by mistake. The men had already been killed as sacrifices, leaving these beautiful women behind as the offerings to the Thunder Dragon.

Traditionally, dragons fancied beautiful women. Bella had no idea if this were true or not, but on the way here, she and the others had encountered the skeletons of the victims along the way. They were all male without a single female corpse. It was still uncertain whether the beautiful lady sacrifices were killed or taken away by the dragon to be held elsewhere.

Four special crosses were erected at the center of the Altar, which were reserved for the best sacrifices. Two of them were empty while a beautiful, white-haired maiden along with another beautiful silver-haired maiden were hanging upside-down on the other two. Bella was able to recognize them from afar. They were Skeleton Tower’s Young Mistress Kleina and the Horrorshow Group’s Young Mistress Inie.

Both Inie and Kleina were completely naked with their hands chained behind their backs, while their legs were tied wide apart onto each side of the cross with ropes, hanging upside down. This was the first time Bella had seen this sort of play. It must not have felt very good to be hung upside down. Kleina’s face was already beet red, while Bella had seen many strange plays in her life, this upside-down style was her first.

Inie’s face wasn’t as red and mostly looked curious. As expected of the young mistress of the Horrorshow Group that mainly dealt in the slave trade business. She had probably seen this type of play in the past. Now, from the looks of it, the hardest one to tease out of the four great young mistresses of the underworld was Inie. Right now, their mouths were similarly being stuffed with black cloth, with the only difference being that they weren’t blindfolded so they could see what was going on.

Inie’s face finally turned tense when she saw the Abyss Crypt Insects besieging the Altar. The Abyss Crypt Insects were much more terrifying than the Draconians in appearance, as most girls were afraid of cockroaches. Cockroaches didn’t exist in this Other World, but the giant cockroach-shaped Abyss Crypt Insects were enough to scare most ladies.

“Elder, why isn’t the Thunder Dragon here yet… Our barrier is going to collapse anytime now. These monsters are simply demons from hell!”

“Do not worry, everyone. Our Lord Thunder Dragon will not abandon us.”

The beleaguered Draconians could only pray for the Thunder Dragon’s swift arrival. Seeing that they couldn’t break through the lightning barrier, the Abyss Crypt Insects besieging the center continued with no fear of death after seeing noticing their “queen” Bella’s presence, to not disgrace her. They just rammed at the barrier one by one. The corpses of Abyss Crypt Insects would explode upon death, so under the impact of the successive explosions, the lightning barrier gradually weakened.

“These Draconians really think this barrier can stop me? Too naive.”

Bella raised her right hand as a black energy orb gathered in her palm. One of the Demon King’s signature moves, “Dark Wave.” After Bella pushed out that orb of energy, “Dark Wave” grew bigger as it traveled like a rolling snowball. By the time the “Dark Wave” hit the barrier, it had turned into an enormous black orb of energy.

The moment the two sides collided, a huge energy explosion occurred. It was so powerful that it nearly threw Bella and Isaman over. Fortunately, a large group of Abyss Crypt Insects rushed over to shield them from the impact with their “meat shield” defense, taking the full brunt of the shockwave.

The powerful impact shattered the dozens of Abyss Crypt Insects in the front in an instant. Bella’s move was so powerful that she had mistakenly injured some of her allies. She quickly went past the “wall” formed by the Abyss Crypt Insects and ran up to the Thunder Altar to check on the situation. It would be a shame if Bella were to injure any of the girls accidentally.

As if the Altar had been baptized by a windstorm, the Draconians were blown off by the impact as the lightning barrier was completely destroyed. Most of the large pile of gold coins on the ground was blown away by the aftermath of that collision. Fortunately, the captured maidens weren’t injured. Their tight restraints saved their lives.

“Miss Inie, Kleina baby… Ahem, Miss Kleina, I’ve come to save you. Hold on…”

After seeing Bella’s arrival, Kleina finally took a sigh of relief. Only Inie was slightly nervous. Bella followed her gaze behind her to see the Thunder Dragon’s large figure flying towards the Thunder Altar. After temporarily escaping from the large Abyss Insects, the Thunder Dragon was intent on taking away the beautiful sacrifices on the Altar. She extended her huge dragon claws, aiming for Inie and Kleina.

A burst of light rose up from the Altar. Priest Isaman realized that something was wrong as she quickly cast a light protective barrier in an attempt to stop the Thunder Dragon. The Thunder Dragon stretched out its claws but was stopped by the light magic, slowing down its speed. Bella took the opportunity to free Kleina, and when she was just about to free Inie, the Thunder Dragon had clawed through the emergency light barrier magic by brute force and lunged at Inie with her big claws.

Inie closed her eyes. It seemed like there was no hope. When she shut her eyes, Bella blocked her and quickly turned her right arm into the Demon God’s Claw, clashing with the Thunder Dragon’s approaching claw. The Demon God’s Claw pierced straight into the Thunder Dragon’s claw, which resulted in a fatal blow that pained the Thunder Dragon so much that she could hardly grab Bella or Inie.

The sharp stinging pain the Thunder Dragon felt was like its nail had landed on a sharp object, forcing her to retract her claws and flee to the skies. She didn’t even send a lightning strike over. A large group of giant Abyss Insects rushed over from the rear and kept her at hot pursuit. If she had continued the fight, then she might have met her end today.

Bella looked in the direction where the Thunder Dragon fled. After withdrawing her Demon God’s Claw, she went forward to untie Young Mistress Inie and carry her over her shoulders while she left Priest Isaman to help her carry Kleina. Inie opened her eyes and looked at the escaping Thunder Dragon in disbelief. How did Bella force the Thunder Dragon to retreat? The Thunder Dragon was clearly brandishing its claws. Could it be that it was scared away by the giant Abyss Demonic Insects that were chasing after it?

After the crisis was averted, Inie twisted her body a little unnaturally. She was so busy dealing with the situation earlier that she didn’t notice that Bella and President Isaman were wearing black and purple bikini swimsuits. Being held over Bella’s shoulder in this way meant a large section of their exposed skins were touching, and this special “skinship” was a bit strange for Inie.

“Young Mistress Inie, please do not move, or I’ll toss you to the bugs. Look how obedient Miss Kleina is!”

Bella’s timely warning and “threat” completely stifled Inie’s rebellion. When she saw how complacent Kleina was, Inie could only settle down as well. She had no idea that Kleina was already one of Bella’s girls and had long been used to intimacy between girls.

Bella pretended that she didn’t know the Abyss Crypt Insects and left with Inie and Kleina as if they were escaping. As for the beautiful sacrifices, the Abyss Crypt Insects would help her “pack” them up and send them to her second stronghold at Angelos Duchy. The main beauties worth keeping – the Young Mistresses of the underworld were already in her hands, while the rest were just average. Bella’s taste was much more refined now, so she wouldn’t bother touching these average beauties.

By the time Bella had transported Inie and Kleina to the site heavily guarded by the Abyss Crypt Insects, the two ladies had already fallen asleep from exhaustion. They haven’t had any sleep in a whole day as they were unable to sleep at all in their upside-down position. Bella was able to save a lot of trouble and could just wrap up the two of them in white ribbon, after which they were packed into rectangular wooden boxes. Now, all four of the underworld’s young mistresses were in her collection. Bella had completed an important mission.

The direction which the Thunder Dragon escaped to was a floating castle above the central oasis. That was the Thunder Dragon’s lair, and in it was the Thunder Throne, which was said to be an invaluable treasure. Bella had already planned to stop here and let the Thunder Dragon go. After all, the ones she had a problem with were the Draconians, not the Thunder Dragon herself.

But according to the legends, the Thunder Throne was a rare treasure that was even more beautiful than the Twelve Demon Kings’ thrones here at Bella’s side. So, Bella had a newfound interest in the throne and thought about “borrowing” it from the Thunder Dragon. After making up her mind, Bella and Isaman went to the oasis’s edge to meet Princess Kriss, who had come as reinforcement.

Kriss’s had countless renowned swords in her sword space, and many of which were specially made for dragon slaying. So, if Bella wanted to challenge the Thunder Dragon, it was best to borrow a dragon-slaying sword from Kriss. Kriss was dressed in a pure-white bikini swimsuit, as she had rushed over as soon as she received Bella’s invitation message.

Bella borrowed the Thunder Lizard Core from Isaman that she had previously handed to her for safekeeping before handing it to Kriss. With the help of its attributes, Kriss was also successfully able to pass through the thick lightning barrier in the outer region of the oasis and enter in its heart.

“Bella, Isaman, it’s good that you’re both fine. There is an ominous aura surrounding this oasis. Puppet Master Elaine said that she could feel many unwilling souls wandering the area.”

“By the way, I brought the Dragon Reaper. See if you have any use for it, Bella. This ‘Dragon Slayer Overture’ is from Ariel. That girl has many other treasures as well.”

The Dragon Reaper was a jagged two-handed sword, and its blade was stained red with dragon blood. As long as the user was strong enough, the sword could easily behead a dragon. Thus, it was also called the “Dragon Beheader.”

The Dragon Reaper was one of Kriss’ lesser-seen swords. Kriss mainly used one-handed swords, so even though she could hold a two-handed sword, it wasn’t as easy to swing, so she lent it to Bella.

“Dragon Slayer Overture” was an old-fashioned magic book. The cover was decorated with dragon bones as it contained thousands of different types of magic used explicitly towards dragons. Though Isaman was a priest, she was also good at magic as a Black Warrior. Bella felt a little inexpedient. She should have chosen for Mage Ariel to come. As the former owner of the “Dragon Slayer Overture,” she was sure to be more proficient at using this book than Priest Isaman.

“Huh? Bella, these wooden coffins are…”

“They’re… treasures. I’ll just arrange my men to transport it later, so let’s hurry. Let’s attack the Thunder Throne before the Thunder Dragon has a chance to defend it. It just went back.”

Kriss looked a little confusedly at the four rectangular wooden boxes in the wagon beside Bella, which contained the four major human evil organizations’ young mistresses. Bella went forth to take Kriss’s hand and led her off without giving her the chance to think about it. Isaman hesitated for a moment, but she still followed  Bella. Those underworld young mistresses wouldn’t be so bad this way.

To get to the castle in the sky, they’d need a flying demonic being. Bella and the others chose the giant Abyss Insect Race’s Tyrant Horned Beetle. This giant horned beetle was red all over with four arms similar to a human. Its weapon was the ridiculously large pair of horns on its head. Compared to the other Abyss Demonic Insect, the Tyrant Horned Beetle was less disgusting to look at, so Kriss and Isaman could accept riding on it.

Bella and the others flew on the Tyrant Horned Beetles along with dozens of other gigantic Abyss Demonic Insects and headed for the Thunder Dragon’s lair. The gigantic Abyss Demonic Insects following them were there to cover Bella during her ride, ready to block any lightning strikes with their bodies at any time so that the three of them could make it to the Thunder Dragon’s lair successfully.

In the face of these alien invaders, the Thunder Dragon sent out several lightning attacks. However, the Abyss Demonic Insects didn’t show any weakness. A large number of densely packed Abyss Demonic Insects and the giant insects flew over, gathering into a black “cloud” that quickly swarmed the Thunder Dragon’s floating lair above the sky.
