Book 5: Chapter 218: Chance Encounter With The Three Thousand Year Old Knight King Who Patrols The Depths Of The Basement

Inside the interrogation room within the depths of the Ancient Ayr City, Bella and Lisha had managed to work together to shut the heavy stone doors. Those stone doors seemed to be anti-demon as the humanoid demonic being continued to pound ferociously on the doors. 

Bella and Lisha could still hear the faint terrifying sounds of fingernails scraping on the stone door. Outside, a flurry of footsteps could be heard. That humanoid demonic being had seen the stone doors close in front of its eyes and knew that it would not be able to break down those doors by itself. It had no choice but to summon a large amount of white demonic beings to help him.

 

Bella thought that the fellow on the other side of those stone doors felt apprehensive. Otherwise, it would have used magic to break down the doors a long time ago. Anti-demon properties were not foolproof. If the power of the magical attacks exceeded its capacity, the anti-demon tools would still be damaged.

 

Fortunately, Bella and Lisha were not “typical” girls. Under such horrifying circumstances, a normal girl would have passed out in fright. However, there was no sign of fear on their faces. Demon Kings might have been naturally immune to such supernatural and terrifying incidents!

 

Taking full advantage of the temporary idle moment, Bella carefully used the Great Evil Slaying Sword to break away at Ingrid’s shackles. Clearly, the quality of a Savior’s weapon was exquisite and cut through the metal as though it were butter. 

Out of her own twisted interests, Bella did not remove Ingrid’s golden collar and ball gag. After all, those were made out of pure gold and would lose all its value once it was cut apart. Inside the interrogation room, Bella found a delicate gold chain as well. 

It did not take long before Ingrid regained full consciousness. When she was being released from the cross-shaped frame, she had already begun to awaken. Ingrid had thought that Bella would remove the last of her restraints as well. In reality, it was simply wishful thinking on her part. 

Bella used the thin gold chain that she had found and bound Ingrid’s hands behind her back and tied her legs together. As there were no clothes nearby that could be used to cover her modesty, the only thing that Bella could do was to bind her tightly.

“Older Sister Ingrid, don’t blame me for this, alright? I don’t have any change of clothes on hand for you. I’ll figure out a solution for your clothing problem when we leave this place.”

 

“Also, Older Sister Ingrid, you shouldn’t fidget too much. Otherwise, you can forget about wearing any clothes for the rest of your life.

 

Left without a choice, Ingrid gave up and stopped struggling. She had wanted to put up a bit more resistance, but Bella picked her up and cradled her in her arms. The storage rings were incompatible with living beings. Also, Ingrid was different from Golden Dragon Princess Laceman as the latter could be taken as a pet or a steed. 

 

With a pet or steed’s oath, Laceman could enter Bella’s pet space and remain there. Since Ingrid was a hundred percent human, she would not be able to enter into such an agreement. This left Bella with no other choice. The only thing that she could do was to take her with her.

Inside this interrogation room, Bella found many other tools that were vastly different from the ones that were being used in the civilizations of this Other World. One look at the variety of ball gags and triangular frames inside the room, and it was clear that those were special tools from the island nations from her previous life. This scene was exactly the same as the time she had first met erotic loli Noesha. Perhaps, there were “experienced” people hiding in this cathedral. 

 

The humanoid demons outside continued to pound on the stone doors, the tremors becoming stronger by the minute. It felt as though they would be able to break through the doors at any moment. Remaining in this room was not a permanent solution. Bella took out her transportation magic scroll, intending to retreat with Ingrid. She would take it one step at a time. 

 

However, Bella was infuriated when she saw that her scroll could not work at all. This dragon prohibition barrier was somehow anti-magic as well. In fact, the anti-magic barrier probably existed in this interrogation room as well as somewhere deeper than this room.

As Bella made up her mind to take the risk and face the humanoid demonic being outside, she heard the faint pitter-patter of footsteps bounce off the walls of the interrogation room. Both girls whipped their heads around at the same time. Using the dim red candlelight inside the room, Bella and Lisha could see a faint gold shadow on the wall.

 

The figure appeared to have its back to them and seemed to be moving along the walls. Since Bella and Lisha weren’t normal girls, they remained calm while facing such expected supernatural incidents.

Bella retrieved a huge Luminous Pearl from her storage ring. With its gentle light, it illuminated the originally dimly lit room. In addition, the suffocating atmosphere in the room had been lifted as well. 

The golden figure was last seen on a wall before it disappeared. Bella, who was unfazed by the situation, handed Ingrid over to Lisha and walked over to the edge of this mysterious wall to figure out what had happened.

Once Bella touched the seemingly empty wall, a secret door opened up. The secret door seemed to have some form of weird verification type magical barrier. Bella could feel her right hand being trapped by some mysterious force, causing her hand to remain hanging in mid-air before going back to normal.

Without any rhyme or reason, the verification barrier on the secret door had opened. Somehow, Bella had stumbled right into something. However, she did not have time to think about it. The only thing on her mind right now was to find a way to escape. 

There was a flight of stairs that appeared to be leading towards somewhere underground behind those stone doors. However, nothing could be seen beyond that first flight of stairs. Whatever was down there, it was much scarier than the interrogation room. In fact, it was pitch black down there. As the doors opened, Bella could feel the cold drafts being blown up the stairs. 

 

Bella could make out a vague gold figure inside that dark world. It seemed to be waving to her from a distance. In this Other World, it did not matter if it was an Evil Spirit or a Malicious Spirit; none of them would be gold. The entity that was trying to direct Bella somewhere could have just been a harmless soul.

“Older Sister Bella, it’s quite dark down there. I think we shouldn’t go in at all… It’s too cold. I’m afraid that our teacher wouldn’t be able to stand it.”

Lisha had Miss Ingrid cradled in her arms. Although Ingrid was rather touched at Princess Lisha’s words, she was still speechless.

 

Princess Lisha’s focus was too strange. She had completely missed the point! Somehow, she was nonchalant at the fact that Bella had bound her like that.

“Lisha, I’m well prepared. Don’t be afraid. If there’s no light down there, then we just have to use this to give us a little bit of light.”

In her hand, Bella had dozens of small transparent vials. Those vials were filled with the Creator of Light Vianne’s tears. Technically, the Tears of the Goddess were a sacred artifact as well. Bella had asked the Creator of Darkness Mystica to collect them on her behalf. 

To be exact, the “Tears of the Goddess” that Bella had was a modified product. True “Tears of the Goddess” must be harvested while the Goddess was crying due to sadness. Bella had gotten them while the Creator of Light Vianne was crying from excessive laughter after reading the funny comics that Bella had sent her. Creator of Darkness Mystica had taken advantage of the situation and collected her tears.

 

After some experimentation, Bethia managed to dilute Vianne’s tears and mixed it with various other holy water before ending up with this final product.

Bella hadn’t used the “Praise of Light” that Vianne had given her ever since the last time she bungled things. Attempting to uphold the principles of the World Destructors’ camp, Bella did not plan to use that gem this time. 

Using ropes that she had found inside the interrogation room, she made the vials of the “Tears of the Goddess” into necklaces. Actually, Bella and Lisha could have used other methods to destroy the evil aura inside the basement. However, for some strange reason, Bella did not use her Demon King or Demon God powers and directly attacked the hidden evil spirits inside.

After putting on the “Tears of the Goddess” necklace for Ingrid, Bella and Lisha, the two first-class Demon Kings put on their own necklaces and walked down to the basement filled with “professional ethics and moral integrity.”

Before they left, Bella had secretly put a simple explosive device that the Mechanical Creator Andrea had given her at the entrance of the basement. That explosive device was just as destructive as the mines from her previous life.

Bella was worried that the stone doors of the interrogation room would not be able to withstand the attacks of the horde of demonic beings outside and had decided to go with such an underhanded move. If the humanoid demonic being managed to break through the final line of defense and wanted to pursue them into the basement, the device would explode. Once that happened, the entrance would collapse upon itself.

Bella was fully prepared for the final battle. If all else fails, she would use Vianne’s gift, the “Praise of Light,” and smash that humanoid demonic being to pieces. She refused to believe that that fellow was more aggressive than the Demon Kings that she had gone up against before and would not be afraid of a precious artifact from the Creator of Light Vianne. 

Although the “Tears of the Goddess” that Bella had were modified products, it was equally effective. The tears from the Creator of Light Vianne inside the vials gave off a gentle glow, fully illuminating the dark flight of stairs. 

 

By the looks of it, this basement was probably much older than the Ancient Ayr City. Bella had no idea what the markings on the walls meant as she did not recognize any of it. As they were wearing the “Tears of the Goddess,” the evil beings that were hiding inside the basement avoided them like the plague. 

 

However, as they reached the last step, Bella realized that the basement was set up like a maze. This would cause Bella and Lisha a ton of trouble. Furthermore, they had Ingrid with them, which was kind of a burden, especially if they did not know what lurked within the maze.

Once again, that golden figure appeared in front of them, this time much closer. Using the light that emanated from the “Tears of the Goddess,” Bella finally managed to catch sight of that figure’s visage. 

Bella and Lisha were stunned. That figure actually looked like the Knight King Ayden. They had seen his likeness on the wall murals in the main church, and this figure looked exactly like it and was wearing the same armor as well. 

The figure was wearing the same knight’s helmet, and Bella could not see Knight King Ayden’s true appearance. Although there was one thing that Bella was sure about, that Knight King Ayden was definitely female as a typical male would not use a female style breastplate.

It seemed like the Demonic Knight King Ayden that was wandering the outskirts of the Ancient Ayr City was fake. For some reason, the Knight King’s crown had ended up on that fellow’s head. 

The Knight King Ayden gesticulated wildly, as though she was trying to show them the way. Right now, she was in the soul state, and her words could not be understood by Bella and the others who were human. This time, Bella did not have Angel by her side as an expert translator, and she had no choice but to follow the Knight King Ayden into the depths of the maze.

Bella guessed that Knight King Ayden’s soul was either a Holy Spirit or a Martyr Spirit. A normal evil spirit wouldn’t dare to show itself in front of the “Tears of the Goddess.” The paths within the maze were filled with various twists and turns. There was no way that Bella and Lisha could have found their way out without the Knight King Ayden’s help. 

Along the way, Bella and the others found the remains of many adventurers who had come before them. Other than the piles of bones, Bella saw many crucifixes that had been abandoned. Based on what she could see, those were the standard set of equipment of the members from the Radiant Church.

Bella has no time to explore how the people of the Radiant Church died here. All she knew was that the Radiant Church’s Holy Cross dedicated to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons was useless in this place. Many human remains clung to the Holy Cross and seemed to have died without doubting their faith.

Finally, Knight King Ayden took Bella and Lisha to the door of the treasure room at the bottom floor of the basement and disappeared. Before disappearing, Knight King Ayden came to Bella and held out her illusory hands. She probably wanted to touch the “Tears of the Goddess” necklace on Bella’s chest.

At that moment, Bella could faintly feel the pureness of Knight King Ayden’s eyes behind the knight mask. Knight King Ayden was very naive. She had only shown up to lead the way because Bella and Lisha were knights and were wearing sacred objects.

When Knight King Ayden had first appeared, she wasn’t in time to witness Bella’s bullying of Ingrid. She had mistakenly assumed that the demons had bound Ingrid and that Bella didn’t have time to untie her after unshackling her, which was why Ingrid was in such a state.

Because Bella and Lisha were now in their human forms, Knight King Ayden didn’t suspect that these two knight juniors were actually Demon Kings. Without knowing it, she actually helped a Demon King.

Just when she was about to touch the “Tears of the Goddess,” Knight King Ayden disappeared and failed to touch it. The stone door of the treasure room was usually carved with pictures of all kinds of treasures, but the door of this secret room was inlaid with all sorts of precious gems. Therefore, Bella had concluded that it was a treasure room.

“Lisha, take good care of our teacher. I’ll go in and have a look. The door seems to be unlocked.”

 

“Mmm, Older Sister Bella, be careful. I’ll take good care of her and make sure she doesn’t run away.”

“It’s fine. I’ve not gone for Older Sister Ingrid’s special counseling class! Just wait a while.” 

Bella didn’t enter the treasure room immediately after giving Lisha instructions. She cunningly took out a vial of “Tears of the Goddess,” unscrewed the cover and threw it in through the crack in the half-open door of the treasure room.

Sure enough, demons were lurking behind the door. Bella heard a lot of strange sounds after the vial of “Tears of the Goddess” rolled inside. When the noises stopped, Bella pushed open the stone door, which wasn’t heavy, only to see the floor covered in corpse fluid.

The demons lurking behind the door of the treasure room had originally intended to kill Bella as soon as she opened the door. However, Bella was even more sinister, sneaking the “Tears of the Goddess” through the door. Before the bunch of evil demons could react, they were purified by the power of the “Tears of the Goddess.”

This was a room full of gold coins. All kinds of gold and silver jewelry were piled up in several hills. Bella was now used to gold and silver treasures, so the value of these treasures wasn’t enough to make her a “Great God” to lose control.

Bella took out a mysterious black cloth with incantations written all over it and covered the “Tears of the Goddess” necklace that she was wearing. The light in this room was very good. It was almost as bright as day here. Bella didn’t need the illumination from the “Tears of the Goddess” for the time being.

 

Bella moved carefully in the pile of gold coins and found several special treasures within them. One was Crimson Knight Elise’s personal armor, the “Blood Curse Armor,” and the other was Styx Knight Stacey’s personal armor, the “Hell Singer.”

In addition to their armor, Bella had also discovered Elise’s and Stacey’s personal knight swords, the “Crimson Judgment” and “Hell’s Touch.” The equipment on their bodies was legendary, so the appearance of their equipment here indicated that they were probably nearby.

Bella was wondering why Elise and Stacey’s equipment were thrown here. There was a mirror inlaid with precious gems on both sides on top of the pile of treasures in front of her. The mirror happened to show what was behind Bella.

Through the reflection of the mirror, Bella faintly saw a three-meter tall humanoid demon quickly and silently approaching her. The demon was ferocious in appearance, with its hands outstretched. From its posture, this guy was planning to sneak attack from behind and strangle Bella with its hands.

Bella found that this guy looked exactly the same as Demon Corian in the murals. According to the records, Demon Corian had been killed by Knight King Ayden, so how did he come back to life to attack her?

Bella had no time to think about it. She quickly pulled down the black cloth wrapping of the “Tears of the Goddess” and allowed the Holy Light from it to illuminate the surrounding area. The Demon Corian was blinded by light rays that resembled a flash bomb. He covered his eyes and moaned painfully.

Bella seized the opportunity to turn around and took out another vial of the “Tears of the Goddess.” She smashed it onto Demon Corian’s face. Due to the close distance, Bella actually threw the “Tears of the Goddess” into Demon Corian’s mouth.

 

The Demon Corian bit down instinctively and crushed the small vial containing the “Tears of the Goddess.” It knelt onto the ground like a vampire that had swallowed holy water by mistake. Under the power of the “Tears of the Goddess,” the Demon Corian’s sneak attack failed. Instead, he lost his own life.
