Bella and Kriss were strolling around Carol Food Street, which was located at the center of Alessandra Academy of Foreign Races’ central campus, the Force of the Earth. While Bella was worrying that she couldn’t afford to invite Kriss to breakfast, she ran into an acquaintance at the food fest. It was the Vampire Queen, Evelina, whom she had t before. It was dayti now. The sun was shining in the sky. Any vampire that could walk under the sun without the fear of sunlight was surely a very high-level vampire.
Evelina was now in her loli form with a pair of blood-red ponytails and glowing red pupils. She was wearing a dark red goth loli maid outfit, had an inverted cross necklace around her neck, and had a blood-red rose adorning her hair. Her pair of beautiful blood-red pupils were focused at Bella and Kriss with curiosity.
Bella could see a lot more after she switched back to her Demon God Body. Take now for instance, she could see that Evelina was the queen of vampires, who was from another world; and there were special magic tattoos on Evelina’s body, which should be the mark of her camp. Unlike the Saviors, the Vampire Queen Evelina was one of the Vow Breakers, and her strength was on the sa level as the Renegades around Bella.
Renegades were Saviors who had lost their faith, converted their belief to the demon gods and evil gods of the World Destroyers, and then betrayed the world. Vow Breakers referred to the people who could be both good and evil at the sa ti. They did not accept or join any camp. They would only act according to their own preferences. Generally, the two didn’t cross each others’ paths; the cause of the conflict was largely due to the fight for the first right to destroy the world.
Vampire Queen Evelina was already as strong as the first-generation blood race, the earliest blood race in the novel. The entire human continent would have long been turned into the birthplace of vampires if this other world didn’t have too many bigwigs. As Bella was gazing at Evelina’s seductive red lips, Evelina showed her cute tiger fangs. Bella subconsciously felt her neck grow cold. Even though she knew that Evelina didn’t have the guts to directly suck the blood of a demon god, Bella still felt a little uncomfortable after knowing that the other party was a vampire because of the mory of her previous life on Earth.
“Evelina, what are you doing in this maid costu? You look cute but you are not going to work in this, are you? By the way, call Bella, you don’t need to use my real na.”
“Bella, why can’t I? It’s a part of the job. Anyway, are you hungry? Co here, I’ll treat you!”
Bella and Kriss followed Evelina to a dark-the maid cafe. Needless to say, this should be Evelina’s place of work. Any normal people probably would have run a long ti ago if they received an invitation from the blood clan. However, Bella and Kriss weren’t ordinary people; one was a Sacred Demon God, and other was Myriad Sword Demon. As such, Bella accepted the blood clan invitation without hesitation.
It was the first ti Bella ca to the blood clan’s cafe. The dark-thed cafe didn’t appear that big on the outside but it had a lot of space, in fact. As soon as Bella and Kriss walked in, they found that the cafe was much bigger than they had expected, it was about as big as a standard banquet hall that could entertain thousands of people. No one would have thought that an important stronghold of the blood clan would be hidden in plain sight on the food street.
“By the way, Lord Bella, please try not to expose your beloved’s and your energy. I haven’t revealed anything till now; I am just a little maid working here!”
“Well, alright! Don’t worry! I will try to keep a low profile.” Bella agreed but she didn’t notice that Kriss, beside her, had a happy smile on her face because Vampire Queen Evelina called her Bella’s beloved. At first, she had had a deep and inexplicable hostility towards the Vampire Queen.
Unlike the quiet food street, the cafe was filled with hub-bub. Just as she stepped through the door, Bella heard languages of various dark races.
The atmosphere of the entire banquet hall was similar to the blood race’s midnight blood feast. However, not everyone attending the blood feast was of the blood race; other dark races attended as well. It was far-fetched to call it a blood banquet. After bringing Bella and Kriss to the banquet hall, Vampire Queen Evelina continued doing her job as a maid. Strictly speaking, the Vow Breakers had magic known as Cognitive Distorter; most people couldn’t see their appearances once they used it.
Bella and Kriss could clearly see the Vampire Queen Evelina’s true appearance purely because their strength was close to or surpassed Evelina’s. They could see through her Cognitive Distorter magic, but in the eyes of other people, Evelina was like every other blood race loli; only Bella and Kriss could tell otherwise.
However, it was for the better; as the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. If the blood race in the banquet hall ca to know Evelina’s identity, they would be terrified. She was the highest-ranked blood race here. Their blood in Evelina’s eyes was impure. She could kill them casually. But Evelina was working here as a maid for so unknown purpose.
As for the treat Princess Evelina ntioned, it wasn’t a lie. Money wasn’t needed here. Dark races could eat for free here. Only the cannibals who might empty the cafe with their larger appetites had restricted entry. Red candlelight was used to light the banquet hall and the candlesticks used skulls with their pried-open top as candle stands. Bella didn’t know if the dark races in this world liked gathering skulls; anyway, most of the dark races she had encountered liked using skulls as lamp stands.
Various dark races were attending the banquet, along with thirteen clan mbers of the blood race. The blood race for so reasons had been unable to gain a foothold on the continent of demons. Over ti, they chose to hide on the continent of the human clan. It was easy to find food here. Although the Radiant Church was a major obstacle, the Radiant Church had not made up their mind to completely eliminate the blood race for many years. And thus, the blood race had been here ever since.
The nobles of blood race wore decent and elegant attire; n wore formal suits while females wore evening dresses, a typical combination of handso males and beautiful females. If it were not for the fangs showing over their lips, they could really be regarded as a group of elegant nobles at the gatherings. Bella and Kriss were wearing their school uniforms but they didn’t garner that much attention. They didn’t have the human-like sll. Even if the other races couldn’t tell the duo’s race, they wouldn’t co up to cause trouble directly.
At the center of the banquet hall was a large pool filled with bright-red blood. This was the turf of blood race but apart from the blood race, many wolfn were here as well. This was one thing that was different from the novels on earth. Although the relationship between the wolfn and the blood race were hostile in this world, in order to deal with their common enemy, the Radiant Church, they were more in a cooperation-type relationship than a confrontation one and most confrontations happened only in the dark.
The wolfn here weren’t the wolfn branch of the beastman race. The wolfn on the beastn side didn’t have human features, only a small number of princesses were humanoids with beast ears. And obviously, the wolfn here didn’t have wolf ears. They were demons who could quickly turn into wolves from their human form when they see the full moon. They were now in their human form; they too were handso and beautiful. But compared to their elegant and aristocratic counterparts, vampires, the wolfn’s human forms had more of a wilder temperant.
The wolfn and blood race must be planning sothing big for them to hold this banquet. Bella brought Kriss to eat here. She wasn’t interested in the content of the etings between these villain races. Apparently, the patriarchs of the thirteen clans of blood race had sent invitations to summon various dark forces active on the human continent at Alessandra Academy of Foreign Races, so that their moves would not attract attention.
The Demon Kings weren’t on the invitation list. Whether it was the ancient twelve Demon King that used to be glorious once or the resurrected twelve Demon Kings that had made their appearances now and were led by Bella, all of them had no affiliation with the dark races operating on the human continent. Apart from Bella, there was no other Demon King present here. The participants of the banquet were mainly the mbers of thirteen blood race clans, senior mbers of wolfman race, as well as so dark races whose attributes Bella couldn’t tell clearly.
All kinds of delicacies were on the dining table in the banquet hall. Bella felt that this was real Dark Cuisine. A large piece of flesh was served after a bit of roasting it and adding a little condint on it. The wine glass was filled with blood-red liquid; Bella could tell that it was blood by its sll. No matter how much one tried to beautify it, it was impossible to call it tomato juice. Watching the wolfn eating with relish and the blood race nobles tasting the wine elegantly, Bella could only sigh. She truly didn’t have any appetite for these things, and the sa was true for Kriss.
Bella glanced about to find Evelina, the true queen of vampires. Her scan was simply terrifying. In the hall, there were five other Oath Breakers apart from Evelina, who was posing as a maid. All of them were using Cognitive Distorter magic so that the others could not notice any abnormality. If Bella hadn’t shown up, these deeply hidden horrifying existences would have gone unnoticed by the other dark races.
Next to the decorative flower basket in the banquet hall, a ghost maid in maid costu was fiddling with the flowers and grasses in a careful manner, arranging and cutting them right then and there. If Bella rembered it correctly, she was the Phantom Queen, Malvina, who had warned her on the business street. Now, Bella had switched to her real body, as such, the Phantom Queen, Malvina might not know that Bella and that previous Demon Queen were one and the sa. Phantom Queen Malvina was staring at the flowers in her hands, oblivious to Bella’s arrival.
On the nearby concert stage, a beautiful foreign musician with her back facing Bella was playing a charming lody. In Bella’s eyes, this inconspicuous foreign girl had strange wings on her back. The wings alternated between black and white, and sotis chaotic gray, telling Bella that she was a fallen angel.
Fallen Angel Jasmine was one of the Oath Breakers. She was an angel from another dinsion. “Fallen Angel” was just a title. Her true combat power was definitely not limited to the levels of a normal fallen angel. Now, she was wearing a black one-piece and was pretending to be an ordinary musician, providing support to the banquet.
There were two Oath Breakers with their backs to Bella. They were far away. One was disguising as a bartender and the other was disguised as a waiter to take orders. Both of them were enjoying themselves. Judging by their backs, Bella could tell that one was a Chaos Dragon and the other was a Sacred Demon, both of them equally difficult to deal with. If so, the additional super combat power of Alessandra Academy of Foreign Races wasn’t in vain as Olsylvia Academy had six Oath Breakers. The combat power of both sides was equal without counting the few World Destructors, Demon Gods, and Evil Gods on Bella’s side.
The last Oath Breaker was standing directly opposite to Bella and Kriss. Her true identity should be so kind of mysterious existence that could wander between illusion and reality. Bella called her Mirror Demon for the ti being. In terms of strength, Bella couldn’t tell for sure whether she was the strongest existence among the six Oath Breakers, but she could say with surety that she was the most difficult to deal with.
That Oath Breaker changed her appearance multiple tis. She imdiately changed her appearance to other people nearby. One of her abilities was that she could change into anyone’s appearance at will. Only because she was in awe of the Demon Gods that she didn’t change her appearance to Bella’s current appearance to fool Bella and others. What impressed Bella was the colorless and transparent eyes of this beautiful Oath Breaker. Her beautiful eyes made everyone uncomfortable as if she could see through the secrets of others at will.
Like other Oath Breakers, she was pretending to be a maid cleaning up the dishes. After noticing that Bella was gazing at her, she wanted to leave, abashed. Fortunately, Bella grabbed her clothes in ti, making it unable for the fake maid to escape. Bella couldn’t trust other waiters but this Oath Breaker might be able to get her the right food.
“Ah, My Lord...what’s the matter? I have to clean up the dishes. If you want to order anything, please...”
“Get sothing that the human race can eat, otherwise, I’ll let others know about you lot and your disguises.”
“Well...I understand. But really, how can you make such a request?” The beautiful Oath Breaker was dumbstruck for a mont. She hadn’t expected a noble World Destructor Demon God to use such a cheap thod. After looking about and confirming that no one was paying attention, the pretty Oath Breaker disappeared. When she reappeared, all kinds of dishes and desserts suitable for human appetite appeared on Bella and Kriss’s table. The Mirror Demon had already used Cognitive Distorter on the bread and milk. In other’s view, they were eating the sa things as them.
“Well, My Lord, I have already kept part of my agreent, I hope you abide by yours!”
“But of course! You can go on with your work!”
Bella looked at the Oath Breakers who were busy at the banquet. She couldn’t tell what they were talking about. She barely heard so of the content of the banquet. Apparently, the thirteen blood race clans were planning to unite with the wolfn and many other dark races during the Martial Conference of the twelve academies to solve so eye-catching Saviors of the human race.
The host of the banquet was the elder of the first clan of thirteen blood race clans. The handso man was using a nefarious tone to tell the purpose of today’s gathering while the other dark races watched him intently. This entire scene was too dark and had a sense of humor. The irony was that real big bosses either didn’t show up or were sitting on the table, enjoying the dishes before them or were experiencing the life of the waiter.
Instead, a miniboss was talking idly about the important matters. Bella almost burst into laughter a few tis at the sight of this. In fact, in the eyes of the outsiders, the blood race elders and werewolf elders’ talk of their evil plan to conquer the world looked completely pretentious. However, Bella still had a lot of gains. In addition to learning about the six deeply hidden plug-in-type Oath Breakers in the Alessandra Academy, Bella also ca to know the hidden information about the additional people joining the Savior Camp.
“Thank you all for coming to this dark banquet hosted by . I am dissatisfied with everyone. We need to unite now more than ever. The neighboring Olsylvia Academy recently has a group called Partners of Justice. If we don’t unite now, we will be defeated one by one.”
“Old Vampire, you are right. There have been too many warriors jumping around lately, clamoring that they want to save everyone. But to tell you the truth, each one is a bigger braggart than the other. We have to teach them a lesson.”
“That’s right! Brother Wolf is right. Not to ntion this city, we have been suppressed in other places as well. If we don’t fight back even now, they will really think of us as easy targets!”
Bella, on the other hand, was enjoying tea with Kriss. Listening to these minibosses, it looked like the eunuchs worrying more than the emperor himself. As the final behind-the-scenes bosses, they were as stable as Mount Tai. They had no idea why these minibosses were panicking so much. Even the twelve demon kings, the middle bosses, had not opened their mouths but these minibosses had started to clamor.
Bella quickly sorted out the ins and outs of the matter. Apparently, several of her (male) alumni Saviors had been too active recently, suppressing these dark forces to the extent that they couldn’t bear it anymore. God Chosen Knight Scott had ransacked the cetery of a certain clan elder of the blood race, hacked countless vampires, and taken away the treasures buried in the cetery for millennia. God Chosen Holy Sword Akmans had been hunting down wolfn to make so money to improve his standard of living. He had been killing wolfn to obtain materials and sell them. He had killed so much that the wolfn were too afraid to show up on the night of the full moon.
The most extre was God Chosen Mage Adelaide. In order to experint his new magic, he had been using the turf of dark demons as a magic experint field. After all kinds of demons were killed, their corpses were recycled as props for other magic experints. The trio excelled in the professional habit necessary to be Saviors, looting the treasures. The demons attacked by them often lost both n and money; it was extrely disastrous.
Bella had to admit that these Savior Brothers didn’t do anything for nothing. They knew the three basic policies against the demons; burn all, kill all, loot all. But Bella was more concerned about the people that had been secretly added to the Savior Camp. With the exception of Olsylvia Academy, mysterious people had appeared in the other twelve academies.
