Volume 9 Chapter 487: Sky Pool Palace Assassination Battle and Bella’s Retreat

Translator: The Light

Edits by Lord Immortal

At the Gabriel Empire’s capital, Gabriels City (Sword Capital), imperial city palace area, outer area of the Sky Pool Palace. A large number of assassins dressed in formal black suits were quickly approaching the place. They gave off a strange feeling to Bella, not because they were dressed extremely gentlemanly or for the odd-looking crow helmets they were wearing. Bella realized that these assassins weren’t living people at all. There was a good chance that they were actually demons transformed from the corpses of dead people.

Bella could tell that these crow assassins were dead just by looking at them. Other than the decorative protruding crow beak at the front of the mask, the other parts were fully sealed. Ordinary living people would never wear completely sealed helmets like this. They would suffocate and die before they even went out.

The crow assassins quickly arrived at the Sky Pool Palace. Most of the royal guards had already rushed to the kitchen warehouse to put out the fire, so there were insufficient guards here to secure the Sky Pool Palace. The attacking assassins numbered in the thousands. Who knew how these guys infiltrated, for so many to come in at once. Sure enough, there were holes in the security of the imperial city.

The royal guards at the Sky Pool Palace numbered only a few hundred, so they were quickly defeated. The assassins’ rapiers were similar to the ones they used in fencing back on Earth. Looking at their skills, she could tell their combat ability wasn’t low. In addition to rapiers, they were also good at using concealed weapons, explosives, and smoke bombs.

The abnormality happening outside Sky Pool Palace was soon felt by the people inside. It was unknown who the target of the crow assassins was, but people were sent to both the male and female sides of the baths to attack. The men’s side was put under control for now as the noble young masters brought more guards. The guards following the princes were all experts, so the crow assassins were blocked at the door and were temporarily unable to advance.

From the current situation, it would be no problem for the men’s bath to hold on until the royal guards arrived. Only, Prince Daniel and his group enjoying themselves on the third floor would be in a bit of an awkward situation. They were forced to stop halfway through, and the sudden scare of incoming assassins forced many of them to push away the beautiful slaves and miserably hurry off to find weapons. If they had any more shocks like this, it might be possible for them to become impotent from fear.

Things weren’t looking as optimistic at the female baths. There weren’t many guards here, to begin with, and the dozen or so imperial guards at the entrance were all killed without even lasting for long. Noble ladies generally would not bring any guards with them at places like the imperial city unless they had to visit other sites. Most of them would go around with their maids and such. This was different from the noble young masters. No matter where they went, they often ended up in arguments and fights, so it was impossible to leave the house without guards.

After the crow assassins rushed in, the ladies at the lowermost pool were so scared that they huddled in the bath and did not dare to come out. They were all naked and did not have any weapons. They were now just a bunch of weak and unarmed women at the mercy of others. Most noble ladies were only pretty little things without any combat ability. Still, there were also those like Renath and the young mistresses of the three great noble families that could fight, as well as the princes’ families’ young mistresses and the imperial princesses.

Fortunately, these crow assassins had their gentlemanly side and did not hurt these defenseless young mistresses. There were red glass pieces inlaid on the position of the eyes on their masks, so for a moment, it was hard to tell if they had eyes or not. However, the noble young ladies were ordered to leave the pool and squat by the side with their hands behind the back of their heads and not to move.

This scene was like robbers holding hostages at a bank robbery. Since they weren’t preying on the ladies for sex, Bella temporarily did not care about the bottom Mortal Pool. She could just save them later. Right now, the crow assassins had already rushed up to the second and third floors. The great noble young mistresses on the second floor, other than the strong Renath and Helena, were only primary-level swordsmen. However, they couldn’t even find their swords right now.

Renath’s body was now powerless after Bella’s bullying, and she didn’t have any way to put up a fight. At the moment, Helena was the only one left who could fight. However, Bella couldn’t bear to see Helena come out to fight naked as a priest. She reached forward and grabbed Helena’s arm, planning to leave the pool to fight and get her to wait back at the pool.

“Bella, you… Let me fight. Renath doesn’t seem to be feeling well. Really… She’s always so full of energy, but I don’t know how she became so soft today.”

“Don’t go, Helena. You’re unclothed without even a weapon, yet you want to fight? You better just stay here!”

“But, uh… You girls, stop messing around! Let go of me!”

“Big Sister Helena, Mistress Bella asked you to stay here, so just be good and stay put!”

The two girls, Angel and Mia, who were sticking to Helena this whole time, suddenly rushed over to pull each of Helena’s arms and keep her at the pool. Helena’s face was puzzled. She didn’t expect these two lolis to be so strong to be able to keep her in place. Bella took this opportunity to gently knock Helena out from the back. Caught off guard, Helena’s vision went dark and she passed out.

“Mistress Bella, you’re not thinking of eating up Helena here, are you?”

“Renath, don’t think about nonsense. I have some things to deal with, but I’ll be back soon. Don’t even think about running. These girls will help me watch over you.”

“I won’t run. You’ve already… Where else can I run off to?”

Bella went up to kiss Renath’s cheek a few times before she left the pool to prepare for the upcoming battle. The other lolis stayed behind to check on the situation. After Bella got up, her contracted dragon, Sea Demonic Dragon Amy Beth, quickly sent her power over together with Ice Dragon Princess Mavis, who also had a contract with Bella. These powers grouped together to form a dark blue frozen armor on Bella’s body, covering her sensitive parts.

Even though Bella didn’t mind fighting in the nude, she had to go up to the third floor to support them. In order to avoid being seen by outsiders, Bella just summoned some temporary armor for now. With the contractual power support of the dragon princesses, Bella easily summoned an Amethyst Sword and a Seven-Color Gem Shield. These two belonged to the powers of Crystal Dragon Princess Purple Crystal and the Gem Dragon Queen.

Since the mist was too dense in here and with other noble ladies at the scene, Bell temporarily gave up on summoning the more powerful Thunderbolt Blade conjured by Thunder Dragon Queen. She instead used the powers of the other dragon princesses that were more harmless to the surrounding venue. When Bella finished arming herself and stepped out of the bath, the crow assassins had just broken in.

Once they put all the noble ladies on the bottom floor under their control, the crow assassins focused their attention on the floors above. These demonized assassins could only mechanically say a few words they were told and not anything else. They did not have intelligence and were unable to speak any other words at all. After seeing Bella carrying weapons, the crow assassins immediately rushed over at her without even ordering her to surrender.

The crow assassins were swift. Avoiding the defenses of Bella’s Seven-Color Gem Shield, they directly attacked her. Bella did not dodge them either and allowed them to stab at her frozen armor. The moment they collided, a burst of frost came out, instantly following along the rapier and freezing the attacking crow assassins.

Since the crow assassins had no intelligence, they attacked only by instinct. When normal humans saw Bella’s weird frozen armor, they wouldn’t slash at her directly. Instead, they would try to use long-range concealed weapons to test it out first. These crow assassins had been tricked. Bella used the fact that they could only attack mechanically to easily solve the first batch without even making a move.

The rest of the crow assassins, unaware of how strong Bella was, continued their offensive. Bella wanted to rush over to the third floor to support the princesses and had no time to waste on these guys. The Seven-Color Gem Shield in her hands emitted a bright light, then Bella launched a knight’s charge toward the entrance. The crow assassins blocking along the way were instantly smashed into smithereens.

Things were a bit more hectic at the battle on the third floor Heavenly Pool. Bella noticed a large amount of smoke as soon as she arrived at the entrance. Turned out that the attacking crow assassins had thrown out large amounts of smoke bombs here in order to suppress the battle abilities of the two sisters, Andanetta and Andanielle. This type of smoke had a strong paralyzing effect on the human race.

In the smoky environment, even if Bella’s night vision was not good and she was unable to see the other girls, this smoke was still useless against her since she wasn’t completely human. Special attacks like these aimed at humans were ineffective against Demon Kings. At this moment, Bella used an extremely gentlemanly ability, searching for the girls based on the unique scent of a girl’s body.

Bella often fell asleep amid the odor of beautiful girls, and there was no shortage of pretty ladies who would sleep with her every night. As time passed, Bella obtained an erotic ability that allowed her to pinpoint a beauty by scent alone. There were only four beauties here at the Heavenly Palace, so it was easy to find them.

The two imperial princesses, Grand Princess Kliveny and Second Princess Karin, had already been pushed down by Bella, so she had long familiarized herself with their smell. She just sniffed for a bit in the smoke and could easily pinpoint where the two princesses were. Currently, the two imperial princesses were in no danger. They were being protected by Kriss’s dark personality’s Sword Dancers.

Under the smoke cover, the crow assassins around the princesses were all slashed into bloody pieces by the Sword Dancers. The speed of their attacks was clearly much faster than the crow assassins. Before the crow assassins could even swing the rapiers in their hands, their bodies had already been torn to shreds by the Sword Dancers.

Other than the princesses, the two remaining fragrances belonged to the sisters, Andanetta and Andanielle. The two sisters had been split up and surrounded. The crow assassins were not the only ones attacking them, but Bella didn’t care that much either. After putting the Seven-Color Gem Shield behind her back, the crystal sword in her hands transformed into a greatsword. Holding it with both hands, she spun it clockwise in a circle.

Due to Bella’s great strength, her spinning quickly formed a strong sword tornado, swirling all the smoke into the sky. It even blasted the roof of the Sky Pool Palace away. Wherever this sword tornado passed, the crow assassins along the way would all be reduced to dust.

Bella’s sword storm advanced all the way and was practically unstoppable. A large number of crow assassins were sucked in and dealt with. After the sword storm cleared up, only the sisters remained in the third floor Heavenly Pool. When they saw the smoke dissipating, the Sword Dancers disappeared again. Their protection mission was considered a secret task, so it was not the time to let the two princesses discover them yet.

Andanetta and Andanielle were on the floor not far away from Bella, looking a little pale. Bella found that they seemed to have been shot by poisoned arrows. It was a type of weapon that those crow assassins didn’t have, so it should have been brought by someone else.

Bella put away her Amethyst Greatsword and went towards Andanetta and Andanielle. The two recognized Bella at once as their family’s political rival, Grand Duke Bellina. At the same time, an imperceptible hint of red flashed on the younger sister Andanielle’s face. She had inadvertently bumped into the scene of Bella and Renath’s erotic game earlier and was still having palpitations from it.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m here to save you. Just call me Bella, President Andanetta and Vice President Andanielle.”

“Alright then. We’ll leave it to you, Bella.”

“Yeah, Bella. Then… I didn’t see anything, so don’t worry.”

Andanetta and Andanielle hesitated for a moment, but they accepted Bella’s help in the end. Andanielle felt a little guilty and didn’t dare to look straight at Bella, which made her older sister Andanetta curious. She wondered what Andanielle had seen to look so nervous in front of Grand Duke Bellina.

Bella walked over to the two of them and discovered that the place they had been shot was really too evil. The person who shot the blowdart must be either an old gentleman or an old veteran. Andanetta was hit in the left breast, whereas Andanielle was struck on the butt. Their skins were snowy-white to begin with, but they had turned dark now. It seemed they had been hit by snake venom.

Originally, Grand Princess Kliveny and Second Princess Karin were also targeted, but all the darts shot at the two princesses were blocked by the demonic Sword Dancers with their bodies. Naturally, it was ineffective against them.

Andanetta and Andanielle did not have anyone to protect them. Besides, they were also unable to see clearly, so they ended up being hit by the poisoned darts. When they noticed Bella strangely looking at them, the two sisters finally realized that the parts where they had been hit by the darts were too awkward. However, since the venom had taken effect, they didn’t dare move too vigorously, nor did they dare to pull out the darts, fearing the spread of the toxins.

“Bella, don’t look at me like that. I… I didn’t want to be hit in this place!”

“Uh, Bella… Be careful. Behind you!”

Andanielle discovered another group of crow assassins behind Bella and quickly warned her, but it was too late. These were the very crow assassins who had blow darts, and they instantly shot one at Bella. She had her back to them, so there was no way she could turn around and block it in time.

Just as Andanetta and Andanielle thought that Bella was going to repeat their previous mistakes, the Seven-Color Gem Shield behind Bella’s back automatically fell to the ground. It spread out into a huge diamond wall without even needing her to turn around. Under the hard defense of the gem barrier, the darts shot towards Bella were blocked outside and could not pose a threat to anyone.

The darts let out sparks as they collided with the wall, but the defense remained impregnable. Bella then activated the Emerald Demonic Dragon’s ability, and many sharp emerald spears appeared in the air behind her, shooting out in every which way. The second batch of crow assassins was also dead. Without any intelligence, they would not dodge and were riddled with holes like a bloody hornet’s nest by the swarm of emerald spears. The entire exchange lasted no more than five minutes.

“Damn, is that woman really invincible? Temporary change to our operations, let’s withdraw. Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and… Ah, your head!”

“Death Ghosts! My god, where did they come from?”

The black-clothed sorcerers, who were secretly manipulating the crow assassins from a distance, were about to retreat when many Death Ghosts, similarly dressed in black, appeared behind them. They were the minions summoned by Evil God Mia. While the sorcerers were focused on controlling the crow assassins on the frontline, these Death Ghosts managed to sneak up on them.

Many of the sorcerers were unable to react in time before they were beheaded or cut into two halves right down the center by the black replica of the Grim Reaper’s scythe. With that, the raid had become a complete failure. The assassins were all killed in action. Furthermore, judging from the piles of corpses, the most suspicious group to be behind this was the Darkness Church.

The imperial guards who had rushed over to support Gabriels City picked off the last of the crow assassins. Most of them were already destroyed by the Death Ghosts summoned by Great Evil God Mia. Another part of them was cleaned up by Bella. However, the only ones they were able to rescue were the beautiful nobles at the lowest Mortal Pool.

The beauties on the second and third floor were already transferred away in advance through Time Space Demon Noesha’s teleportation ability. In order to avoid being exposed too early, Bella retreated quickly with the wounded Andanetta and Andanielle, as well as Renath, Helena, and the other beautiful ladies with important identities.
