Book 4: Chapter 194: The Dark Fight At The Periphery Of Ancient Todd City

The night was quiet on the Sacred River Selma. After fruitlessly shelling the northern bank with cannons, the Dark Coalition forces turned to prepare for tomorrow’s storm. The Demon King allied forces on the north bank took advantage of the night to step up the construction of their attack positions and the two sides temporarily paused the battle.

Bella left after dinner with the Dark Princesses Elsa and Erica. Although she hadn’t yet won over Elsa, Elsa would eventually fall into her hands as long as they broke through the southern bank of the Sacred River Selma.

Regarding Demon King Bella’s departure, Elsa looked a little regretful, while Erica’s gaze was a little ambiguous. It wasn’t good for them to ask too much about the Demon King’s matters. Erica couldn’t force her sister to say anything about her deal with the Demon King either.

After bidding farewell to the two Dark Princesses, Bella headed to Ancient Todd City, the largest city on the southern bank of the Sacred River Selma and the largest military stronghold. Bella changed into her Black Robed Witch costume that she had borrowed from Erica and began the operation to infiltrate the city.

She was going to look for the third of the old Demon Kings in the peripheral area of Ancient Todd City. In the old Demon King’s residence, there should be the summoning ceremony artifacts commonly used by the Demon King. According to information from Dark Princesses Erica and Elsa, this Demon King may be a girl, because she didn’t show her true face and male Demon Kings don’t generally hide their true face.

“Ivy, are you there! Are you asleep? It’s me!”

“Bella, you’re on the other side of the river? It’s been a long time. Thank goodness Lolita and the other Demon Kings are in charge. Or else, Kriss and the others would be on the other side of the Sacred River Selma today!”

“I’m sorry to worry you girls. Please inform them for me.”

In a secluded corner, Bella took out the magic communication stone and contacted Miss Ivy, who was on the northern bank of the Sacred River Selma. Bella had given them the magic communication stone a long time ago and they finally had the chance to use it now.

At present, the morale of the Demon King allied forces was still very stable. They had adopted a step-by-step strategy. According to their plans, the Demon King allied forces intended to build a defense zone on the northern bank of the Sacred River Selma similar to the one on the southern bank. They were going to launch the operation to cross the river after gaining a firm foothold.

After the call, Bella left the secret area and was planning to continue towards Ancient Todd City. Suddenly, a cold wind blew all around her and a shadow seemed to float over to her side.

Bella looked back in full alertness and saw a black shadow floating across. Because there wasn’t any moonlight tonight, Bella couldn’t tell if the other party was a ghost or a demon. There were few torches illuminating the Dark Humans’ defensive positions and they were all dark blue ghost fires and the like. Bella’s current position didn’t fall under the illumination of the flames.

Bella stopped for a moment and immediately followed in the direction of the shadow. She had a good sense of smell and was especially sensitive to a girl’s scent. Earlier when they had crossed paths, Bella had smelled a faint fragrance on the shadow and concluded that the shadow was a girl. There was certainly nothing to be afraid of when meeting a girl at night.

At a secluded wooden house somewhere by the Sacred River Selma, the dark shadow stopped. This house was built on a cliff. Next to the wooden house was an ancient tree that was several hundred years old with a wooden table and several wooden chairs beneath it. This seemed like the dwelling place of a hermit. It wasn’t easy to find such a quiet place by the river.

“Ignorant human, why did you follow me?! If there’s nothing, please leave. This is Griffin’s area. If you’re looking for the Demon King, then go look for him.”

Bella finally saw the real face of the dark shadow through the reflection on the surface of the Sacred River Selma. It was a beautiful young girl with an elegant bearing. Her long dark purple hair fell to her waist like the night, and she was wearing a dark purple mage outfit. Bella could feel strong dark energy coming from her dark purple eyes.

The girl had used a skill that was essential to mages, a flying technique. Now she was suspended in the air, a distance from the ground. Earlier when she had flown past Bella, Bella had misjudged that she was a floating ghost.

The young girl’s mage outfit was different from an ordinary mage’s clothes. There were magic patterns that had something to do with the old Demon Kings on her garments. Bella had seen these patterns on Ocean Demon King Victoria’s clothes before. Thus, Bella thought that there was a large possibility that this beautiful girl was a Demon King.

Dark Night Demon King Aggy looked at her stalker with some curiosity. The Black Robed Witch was a bit strange, coming so close to her. If it were any other Dark Human, her Demon King’s aura would’ve long since suppressed them onto the ground but this Black Robed Witch didn’t show any reaction at all. Was she very powerful?

“Can you tell me your name?”

“Don’t you know that besides those of the same kind, it’s a taboo for ordinary people to take the initiative to ask for a Demon King’s name? Interesting fella, I want to see if you have… W-where are you going?”

Unless a Demon King voluntarily announces it, the average human couldn’t take the initiative to ask for the Demon King’s name, and Dark Night Demon King Aggy was no different. She had the inherent arrogance of a Demon King and didn’t expect Bella to behave out of the norm and slip away before she had finished speaking.

Bella was deliberately whetting Dark Night Demon King Aggy’s appetite. Unlike Ocean Demon King Victoria, she seemed like a very arrogant Demon King. Bella didn’t give her the chance to continue her act, ignoring her and leaving.

A dark energy ball shot towards Bella’s back. Dark Night Demon King Aggy, who was infuriated by Bella, directly attacked her regardless of etiquette. Although her manners had always been elegant before, it was an entirely a different matter when she was angered.

This dark energy ball was one of the unique skills used by the Demon Kings and Bella couldn’t be more familiar with the dark energy fluctuations. She turned around and quickly condensed dark energy into a bat and beat the “dark wave” as if she were playing baseball.

Dark Night Demon King Aggy was caught off guard. She had meant to teach the little Black Robed Witch a lesson, so the dark energy ball she had sent out wasn’t very powerful. Who knew that the opposite party would fight back? She hastily arranged a defense barrier and reluctantly removed the barrier when the dark wave rebounded from the front.

“How is that possible? Who…. What the hell are you?”

“I’m just a passerby, honorable Demon King. Even if you didn’t want to tell me your name, you didn’t have to send me a gift! Look, now your clothes are dirty.”

Aggy was in a sorry state. Her carelessness almost made her the first Demon King in history to be seriously injured by a low level attack like the dark energy wave. Her black mage garments were damaged in many areas–an aftermath of the dark energy wave.

“Dark Night Demon King Aggy. Now you can tell me your…”

“Aggy, what a nice name. I hope you can behave gracefully as before. As for my name, please forgive me for refusing to answer!”

“What … I’ve already told you my name, yet you refuse! You…”

Dark Night Demon King Aggy was enraged by Bella. The Black Robed Witch repeatedly contradicted her, and what angered her the most was her repeated refusal. If she didn’t take her anger out on this stranger, her prestige as Dark Night Demon King would be lost.

Bella looked at Dark Night Demon King Aggy with satisfaction. Aggy’s graceful face was just as beautiful when she was angry. She had to admit that a beauty was indeed a beauty. As long as she looked beautiful, even if she were angry, she was still a sight for sore eyes.

Her reason for refusing Aggy was very simple. Bella had even dared to refuse Dark Demon God Alice before, so refusing Dark Night Demon King Aggy wasn’t a big deal. It was a long way from Ancient Todd City. Even if the other two Demon Kings in the city wanted to lend their support to Aggy, they couldn’t get here very quickly.

Aggy looked uncertain. This was her private courtyard and she was afraid to make any big moves, which would only damage the house that she had designed with great difficulty. Bella stood there confidently. If the Demon King attacked her, she wouldn’t be afraid at all.

A dark curtain suddenly enveloped the area around the house. As soon as darkness fell, Bella and Aggy were transported to a mysterious space. There was only a lonely house left on the cliff; the people had long disappeared.

Terror Demon King Griffin and Bone Demon King Trollope were cultivating in Ancient Todd City. The old Demon King’s method of cultivation was basically to absorb the energy of living creatures. In the place where the Demon Kings cultivated, the ground was covered with the bones of low-level Beastman slaves.

Griffin and Trollope sat face to face. The table between them was filled with all kinds of bloody unidentified food. Besides the Demon Kings, there were also some kemonomimi maidservants–fox girls, cat girls and bunny girls.

They were counted lucky. The two Demon Kings felt that the female Beastmen lacked energy. It was too much trouble to kill them, so they spared their lives. As for the Beastman slaves, they were all treated as food.

“Griffin, a Demon King Passage opened near the Selma River. Do you want to go and have a look? I think Dark Night Demon King Aggy’s private house is over there.”

“Don’t worry about her. That Aggy always pretends to be elegant and disdains to communicate with us barbarians. Going over will just be inviting a snub, am I right?”

“It seems that two Demon Kings have entered the Demon King Passage. Aggy is…”

“She must’ve gone with the Death Demon King. Why do you care what she does? Are you still thinking about the treasures you lent her ten thousand years ago? She won’t return them!”

While Terror Demon King Griffin and Bone Demon King Trollope were still taking it easy in Ancient Todd City, the fight between Dark Night Demon King Aggy and Origin Demon King Bella had already begun in the Demon King Space. This was the first fight between the old and new Demon Kings using their real bodies, and it had a very important symbolic significance.

At this time, the Demon King of Death was still wandering in the capital of the Beast King. Ocean Demon King Victoria hadn’t yet gone out to sea. Sky Demon King Dolores, Blood Demon King Eleanor, and Underworld Demon King Cornice from Bella’s side were all at the northern bank of the Sacred River Selma. No one got involved in the fight.

Similar to the Demon King Passage, the Demon King Space was the home ground of the Demon Kings. Except for the blood-red moon in the sky, this space was a barren land. Bella and Aggy stood facing each other from a distance.

“You’re really not simple. You’re still so calm after entering the Demon King Space, as if it were your own home. I won’t make things difficult for you either. If you apologize, I will… “

“Aggy, I refuse again. Let me witness your Demon King strength!”

Seeing that Bella’s attitude remained unchanged, Aggy switched to combat mode. A pair of thick demon wings appeared behind her. All around Aggy, countless dark purple energy ripples that were faintly discernible floated in the air.

Bella had made the right judgment. Aggy was a Demon King who was good at magic attacks. Her weapon appeared when she switched to her battle form. It was a black shield and a black scepter, inlaid with a large black gem at the top.

The barren land in the Demon King Space suddenly trembled violently, shaking like an earthquake as an abyss broke out from below. A gigantic demon climbed out of the abyss. Following the gigantic demon were a lot of medium-sized demons which were more than a hundred meters tall. They looked ferocious, like ancient giants towering above the ground.

They were “ancient demonic giants”. Ten thousand years ago, they had followed Dark Night Demon King Aggy and fought together with her everywhere. Once the ancient demonic giants came out, they looked for the target their master wanted to tear up with their blood red eyes. They had great strength and could fight an adult golden dragon, much less tearing up a giant dragon.

The ancient demonic giants didn’t carry any weapons. They belonged to the kind of demons that fought with their bare hands. With their thick skin, an ordinary dragon couldn’t break through their defense. Therefore, the ancient demonic giants didn’t even have armor or other protective equipment. They only had straw mats around their lower bodies and looked like barbarians.

Dark Night Demon King Aggy floated up to the Dark Giant King’s shoulder. A giant over a hundred meters tall was equivalent to her mount. Aggy looked rather dignified. She had been on high alert against Bella for fear that she might use a surprise attack to interrupt her summoning of demons. However, the other party didn’t interrupt her summoning ceremony at all.

Bella was also performing a summoning. This was the Demon King Space and her game of pretending to be brave was over. This wasn’t an arena for humans. If she pretended to be brave again, she would end up being trampled on the ground. When Dark Night Demon King Aggy was summoning her giants, Bella followed suit almost at the same time as well.  Unlike Aggy, Bella’s demons emerged from the door of the Demon King Space, not from the cracks in the ground.

Bella had summoned a Dark Tyrant Dragon, which was the large version of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was nearly a hundred meters tall, a little shorter than the opposite side’s Dark Giant King, but this guy had an advantage over the Dark Giant King in length.

Behind the Dark Tyrant Dragon were all kinds of dinosaur-type demons–Dark Spinosaurus, Dark Ankylosaurus, Dark Triceratops, Dark Tyrannosaurus and so on. There were also Dark Pterosaurs in the sky that were more than twenty meters in length when they stretched out their wings.

If Dark Night Demon King Aggy had a “giant army,” then Bella’s was a “dinosaur army.” The epic scene of giants versus dinosaurs was about to be staged in this dark Demon King Space. Unfortunately, the only audience was the blood-red moon in the sky.

Bella flew up and sat on top of the Dark Tyrant Dragon. She had changed back to the form of a Demon King. The black wings behind her brought her right to the top of the Dark Tyrant Dragon. In fact, if this position were given to Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha, the effect would be more impressive. After all, she was the real Demonic Dragon Emperor and Bella wasn’t a Demon King that relied mostly on dragon elements.

“What’s the matter, Miss Aggy? Aren’t we going all out?! I’ve summoned my people. Let’s get started!”

“Wait… Please wait. Can you tell me your name? I apologize for my rudeness before!”

Dark Night Demon King Aggy’s voice was much softer this time and her arrogant tone had been put away. The Demon Kings respected strength. Now that Bella had shown hers, Aggy could no longer face Bella with an attitude she would with ordinary people.

“Aggy, I accept your apology. Don’t ask for my name. Today I wanted to borrow your Demon King Passage. I am… I am a Demon King of the other world. I couldn’t find my way back. I’ll just borrow your Demon King Passage.”

“You want to borrow my passage…. You should’ve said so earlier. I would’ve…”

“Aggy, I want to be a good person too but you didn’t give me a chance! You immediately sent a dark energy ball over, so I was forced to… “

Aggy was sort of in the wrong. She had been the first to act, but it was also unprecedented in Demon King history to start a fight in order to borrow a passage. Aggy herself was very competitive. Since she was a Demon King of the other world, she planned to take her on.

“We’ve still not settled the matter of borrowing my passage. The Demon King Passage you want to borrow is behind me, but I don’t want to let you go so easily. If you want to borrow it, use your strength to rob me of my Demon King Passage!”

“Aggy, can I snatch you away… Just kidding. Don’t take it seriously. I want to… “

“Yes. If you have the strength, you can take away my powers.”

The old Demon Kings, like demons, had always believed in the idea that the winner was king and got everything. The Demon King who won could take everything from the other side. Aggy had mistakenly believed that Bella wanted her strength and wanted to rob her of it. She didn’t know that Bella had another plan.

Looking at Dark Night Demon King Aggy’s unconcerned eyes, Bella assumed that she hadn’t understood what she meant. However, this didn’t affect Bella’s plan to take advantage of Dark Night Demon King Aggy. Bella had taken advantage of Ocean Demon King Victoria so there was no reason to miss out on Dark Night Demon King Aggy.
