Book 5: Chapter 220: Fleeing From The Underground World Of Ancient Ayr City

In the underground treasure room of the cathedral in the central area of Ancient Ayr City, Bella and Lisha, who were at the end of the road, met Knight King Ayden once again. This heroic spirit that had wandered for more than three thousand years hadn’t disappeared with the passage of time.

Bella quickly picked up the black blindfold and covered Stacey and Elise’s eyes again. Bella was afraid that they could not bear such a shocking thing as to suddenly see a legendary figure from more than three thousand years ago still alive.

Before Stacey and Elise could see Knight King Ayden clearly, Bella had covered their eyes with a black blindfold. They were so angry they wanted to protest, but they couldn’t say anything about it. Lisha, whose “heart was linked” with Bella’s, quickly handed Bella the props she wanted to use.

After seeing the cotton ball in her hand, Bella gave Lisha an approving look. She was truly a “real sister” who knew what she wanted with one look. Bella and Lisha carefully blocked Stacey, Elise and Ingrid’s ears with cotton balls. The three Dragon Knights couldn’t see or hear what was happening.

Knight King Ayden watched Bella and Lisha carrying out their “criminal process.” This was the first time Bella had come across such a qualified “live” audience. It would be perfect if she could have some interaction, a praise or something.

“What are you doing? The monster is coming. If you don’t leave, it will be too late…”

Bella and Lisha almost fell down in fright. Knight King Ayden’s spirit had actually spoken. The voice didn’t sound old at all. It sounded like a young girl’s voice. Bella was a little displeased with Knight King Ayden. ‘If you can speak, then you should say something earlier!’ Since she was pretending that she couldn’t speak, it was really bad for her to suddenly open her mouth and scare them.

“Um… I didn’t mean it. That monster has placed many dark magic spells in this area. I can’t open my mouth to speak. Just now you broke the skull and the black gem, so I was able to come out.”

“Fine then… I won’t blame you. Ayden, do you know where the exit is?! We intend to leave.”

“There’s somewhere you can leave… but it’s rather troublesome. I’ll take you there. Also, Knight King Ayden is only a pseudonym, and my real name… is Liath.”

Knight King Liath quietly explained to Bella and Lisha. From Bella’s expression, she roughly guessed the reason for her dissatisfaction. Seeing that she was a beauty, Bella didn’t care to make a fuss about it.

Under the guidance of Knight King Liath, Bella and Lisha found a secret door under a throne in the treasure room With the help of Knight King Liath, Bella and Lisha succeeded in finding a cart used to transport goods.

Ingrid, Stacey and Elise, the three beautiful Dragon Knights, were placed in the cart and transported away as treasures. Bella didn’t touch the other treasures in this treasure room. According to Knight King Liath, these treasures were evil objects that had been cursed for a thousand years. Taking them back will only bring her misfortune.

Bella had also found the greatest treasure. After putting on the necklace “Tears of the Goddess” on Stacey and Elise, Bella and Lisha took turns pulling the cart and moving them forward.

Along the way, Bella chatted with Knight King Liath. Perhaps she had been too lonely. Knight King Liath hadn’t spoken to her knight juniors for more than three thousand years. Soon, she told Bella many things.

Knight King Liath has existed for tens of thousands of years. Ten thousand years ago, when the humans and the Twelve Demon Kings fought in the last war, it was Knight King Liath who stood in front of the first generation Radiant Pope Goldsmith and helped her block the demons’ attacks.

The founder of the Octavia Empire, the legendary first Dragon Knight Archibald, was merely Knight King Liath’s attendant. The real first Dragon Knight was Liath.

In the end, in order to help Holy Priest Goldsmith block an attack, Knight King Liath died in the “City of The Eternal” of Octavia. Before she died, she passed on the knight’s identification to her apprentice, Archibald.

It was not until after her death that Knight King Liath realized that she could not die. The God Race had been annihilated before the Human Race. After the destruction of the God World, there were no more Gods in charge of the reincarnation passage. Those powerful dead humans could choose whether to reincarnate or not due to their power and the strength of their souls.

Liath obviously chose the latter. Her soul had lingered in the world for more than six thousand years. In the beginning, Goldsmith wanted to bury her in the cemetery commemorating the heroes of the Human Race, but Liath’s soul manipulated her body and ran away in the middle of the night..

After more than six thousand years of preparation, Liath was able to resurrect her body using forbidden techniques. Before that, she had kept her body in the underground icehouse of the Ancient Ayr City. Later, she returned to the world under the pseudonym, Knight King Ayden.

Whatever happened after that was Knight King Liath’s story. When referring to the Octavia Empire, it seemed as if it was hard for Liath to speak. Her knight attendant Archibald had deliberately erased her name in order to claim that he was the first Dragon Knight.

Because the insiders at that time had basically died in the last world war, plus the mysterious disappearance of the first generation Radiant Pope Goldsmith, the matter regarding Knight King Liath was completely erased.

The terrifying night in Ancient Ayr City that happened more than three thousand years ago was still deeply imprinted in Knight King Liath’s mind. That night, mysterious white demons attacked Ancient City Ayr. Many knights and residents had been eaten alive by the white demons before they could even respond.

At the time, Liath was deep in the basement of Ancient Ayr City, busy dealing with the demons that were buried here after she had suppressed them. Before she could go to the city on the ground to fight, her adjutant Eddie had betrayed her.

When Dragon Knight Eddie saw that they wouldn’t be able to sustain Ancient Ayr City any longer, he immediately thought of escaping. He directed his men to block all the passages to the underground secret chamber, intending to trap Knight King Ayden, also known as Liath. After that, he commanded his trusted troops and tried to escape with a large amount of Ancient Ayr CIty’s treasure.

Later on, Eddie didn’t manage to run either. He was chased and killed by the demons. The demonic knights wandering outside Ancient Ayr City’s Cathedral had been transformed from the corpse of the traitor Eddie by the demons. Because Eddie had taken with him the Knight King’s crown that had been bestowed by the Radiant Church to Knight King Ayden, the demons mistook him for the Knight King herself.

In order not to starve to death, Liath, who was trapped in the underground world, had to use the secret technique of separating her soul from her body and leave her body in suspended animation. Her soul wandered in the underground world as a spirit.

After hearing what Liath said, Bella and Lisha took a long time to calm down. Liath didn’t know where the humanoid demon came from. But when Liath mentioned the humanoid demon, her tone obviously shook. She could tell that the humanoid demon was too terrifying. Liath, who had no fear in the face of the twelve Demon Kings, was terrified by the humanoid demon.

However, Knight King Liath was a very simple-minded person. After chatting with her for awhile, Bella found that the Knight King Liath was like a blank sheet of paper. For example, she felt that joking between girls wasn’t bullying. She thought it was just a joke when Bella groped Stacey and Elise.

Under Liath’s guidance, Bella and Lisha finally arrived at the heart of the underground area Ancient Ayr City, where Ferocious Dragon Dreiser slept. Ferocious Dragon Dreiser was the only demonic dragon with three heads. The strongest demon she had ever faced, Ferocious Dragon Dreiser was currently sealed by Knight King Liath.

More than three thousand years of sleep had not killed this three headed dragon. Dreiser’s huge body showed no sign of decay. When Bella saw the huge demonic dragon, Ferocious Dragon Dreiser, his three heads were staring at Liath fiercely.

Bella immediately attacked first. Ferocious Dragon Dreiser was now in a semi-recovered state. Its wings were still chained to the ground! Dreiser seemed to fear the power of the “Tears of The Goddess” and didn’t dare to attack Bella and the others.

Seeing that Bella was about to smash the “Tears of The Goddess” in its direction, Dreiser turned into an afterimage and disappeared. It turns out that this was merely an image formed by its evil spirit. The real Dreiser was still buried underground.

The area where Dreiser was sealed was similar to an underground takeoff used in the lair. A few hundred meters above its head, there was a big hole where one could see the sky. That was most likely the Ancient Ayr City above ground.

Knight King Liath’s body was sealed here. In the center of the sleeping dragon was a golden cross that had been erected. Knight King Liath was bound to the cross with bone chains, in a posture much like the son of God who was crucified from Bella’s previous life.

Bella walked to the golden cross and looked at Knight King Liath’s body with some surprise. She had to admit that Liath’s real appearance was very beautiful– she had long, pure golden hair and sapphire-like eyes. Bella realized that Liath was awake and her spirit had returned to her body.

“Liath, aren’t you uncomfortable being bound so tightly…”

“It’s okay. I’ve been like this for more than three thousand years. You… you don’t know statues, don’t… These chains can’t be unshackled, or else Ferocious Dragon Dreiser will be revived.”

Bella felt very distressed for Liath. She had been naked on this cross for more than three thousand years. For her perfect body to be collecting dust in the underground world was simply a waste. Those bones chains were a type of chains to bind dragons.

The area of Ferocious Dragon Dreiser’s seal was the eye of the array of the dragon spirit prohibition in Ancient Ayr City. The cross Knight King Liath hung from was the most important place. Three thousand years ago, the Ferocious Dragon Dreiser was slain, then buried here.

During the fall of Ancient Ayr City, the long-buried Ferocious Dragon Dreiser showed signs of reviving. In order to prevent this guy from escaping, Liath dragged her tired body and voluntarily sacrificed herself to seal the Ferocious Dragon Dreiser.

At the time, Liath was already trapped underground and would sooner or later starve to death. It was better for her to place her body on the cross as the key prop to seal the Ferocious Dragon Dreiser.

The humanoid demon came here once but it didn’t damage the eye of the array. It put several seal chains on Liath and left after placing a mirror here.

Liath’s body was now trapped, unable to leave the cross. The chain that the humanoid demon had attached to her was so powerful that she couldn’t destroy it. Bella looked at the strange bone chains, not in a hurry to start.

“Just go. Don’t worry about me. The hole above leads to the world above the ground. This area is the only area in the underground world not restrained by magic. You can leave by using flying magic or magic transfer artifacts.”

“What about you? Liath, don’t you want to see the outside world? Aren’t you lonely being in the underground world for more than three thousand years?”

“Um…. I’ll be fine. You girls… “

Before Liath could finish speaking, Bella stepped forward and gently covered her mouth. Bella could clearly see the hesitation on Liath’s face. It was obvious she was lying when she said she wasn’t afraid of loneliness.

Liath felt that the humanoid demon was watching her all the time, so she couldn’t get away. Perhaps Bella’s arrival could help her out.

Bella decided to take Liath away with her and deal with the serious consequences later. After covering Liath’s mouth with a handkerchief, Bella did her best to pull Liath’s body together with the cross from the ground.

“Older sister Bella, come here. This is the original object of Dream God Onelos’ mirror world.”

“Lisha, come back. There’s no time to retrieve that mirror.”

After pulling out the cross, the burial ground shook violently as if there were huge monsters climbing out of the ground. Bella didn’t have time to retrieve the mirror of the dream god. At the entrance outside the burial ground, a large number of dark shadows were approaching. The humanoid demon had dug a tunnel and rushed over with its subordinates.

The Dream God’s mirror was fixed on the stone wall and it would take a lot of time to remove it. Although she was distressed to give up an artifact with special functions, Bella finally chose to let go with great pain. She put down the cross for the moment and lifted a huge rock to smash the mirror.

The divine artifact mirror world of Dream God Onelos was made out of materials no different from an ordinary mirror despite being a divine artifact. Bella smashed the divine artifact mirror with all her strength.

With the broken mirror, the white demons that covered the whole Ayden Plains will disperse by themselves in a day’s time. When the mirror was broken, there came a roar of resentment from the distance. The humanoid demon was obviously the one behind this series of events.

When the humanoid demon rushed into the burial ground, Bella and the others had already climbed onto the back of the revived Ferocious Dragon Dreiser and flown out of underground space. Looking at the Ferocious Dragon Dreiser flying high in the sky, the humanoid demon raised a hand and seemed to want to launch an attack.

But its attack didn’t come after all. After a moment’s hesitation, its hand dropped. This Grudge was different from the last one. Before it had transformed, its profession was a magic summoner. The last one had completely lost its reason and thinking, and was merely a killing instrument. 

This Grudge still had a lot of memories and the ability to think. It was the one who manipulated the talking skeleton from a distance. It seemed to have discovered something unexpected in Bella, so it chose to let her go at the last moment.

“Could it be… You are more than three thousand years late, why do you show up here now? The waters in this plane are too deep, my former partner…”

The Grudge looked thoughtfully at Demonic Dragon Dreiser, who was flying high in the sky. It sighed silently and disappeared into the darkness. One of its mediums, the skull, had seen Bella with the Savior’s weapon, the Great Evil Slaying Sword. Only then did it discover something from Bella.

Bella left a little quickly, so she didn’t have the chance to hear the words of the Grudge. She was used to running after behaving ostentatiously and wouldn’t pause for a moment.

Demonic Dragon Dreiser had three heads. He didn’t want to flee with Bella and the other, but only did so to escape from the horrible humanoid demons before settling accounts with them.

Knight King Liath hadn’t recovered physically and he had been hungry for so long. When they landed, at that time, these pesky female knights will all become… Before Ferocious Dragon could continue daydreaming, he felt that his back had gotten a lot lighter.

“Those girls ran away! Damn it… my wings… No… “

As soon as Ferocious Dragon Dreiser flew up into the sky, Bella and the others had immediately crushed a teleportation scroll and fled. They were already high in the sky and weren’t affected by the anti-magic ban.

Before leaving, Bella sprinkled the “Tears of The Goddess” on several spots on Dreiser’s wings. Under the power of the “Tears of The Goddess”, the wings of Ferocious Dragon Dreiser failed. The hapless demonic dragon down to the ground fell from the sky, stirring up a cloud of dust.

“Older sister Bella, we’re at the blacksmith’s shop. The knight on the cow seems to have come this way…”

“I got it Lisha. We can’t spare this mirror either. We’ll let them stay in this world forever!”

Bella and the others went back to the world on the other side through the mirror in the forge. After they left, Bella broke the mirror on the other side. When the fake corrupted Knight King Ayden went through the mirror in the forge, he would find nothing but a broken mirror.

The white fog in Ayden Plains was gradually dispersing because Bella had destroyed Dream God Onelos’ divine artifact mirror world. The Ancient Ayr City hidden in the world of the Ayden Plains had returned to this world plane.

The Ancient Ayr City that had returned was already in ruins. Those demonic beings seemed to have been stranded in the world on the other side and couldn’t get out.

The place Bella and the others returned to was the location where the Rose Knights had hunted the Demonic Forest Bears. Time seemed to have returned to the moment when the Demonic Forest Bear King had escaped. If it weren’t for the beauties beside Bella, she would still be a little skeptical and wonder if she just had a dream.

In the grass not far from where they were hunting the Demonic Forest Bears, the Demonic Forest Bear King lay dead. The Class S demonic beast had been surrounded by demonic spirits and killed. In the end, Bella and the others took advantage of this and picked up a Class S demonic beast for nothing.
