The Villains Need to Save the World?

Volume 10 Chapter 535: Frightening Encounter in the Snowy Night in Victor Plains

Bella’s super beauty knight squad entered the sparsely populated Victor Prairie of the Knights’ Land, Octavia Empire, in the north of the Coristel Continent after bidding farewell to the knights at the border of the empire. Their goal was to first go to the Radiant Church’s Holy City Suziaveli, where there was a Magical Teleportation Array that led directly to the capital of the Octavia Empire.

Octavia Empire’s own town was basically not built with Magical Teleportation Arrays. Only the headquarters of the Radiant Church, the Holy City of Suziaveli, as well as the cities under the control of the Radiant Church, were built with such a Magical Teleportation Array limited to the members of the Radiant Church. Bella had almost taken control of all the beautiful seniors from the entire Radiant Church and was considered like someone from the Radiant Church. There was no problem using the Radiant Church’s Magical Teleportation Array.

Because the Radiant Church wanted to maintain its mysteriousness, the headquarters of the Radiant Church concealed the specific coordinates of the Holy City. The map and even the Empire’s military map would not standardize the specific location of the Holy City. Bella had obtained the map to the Radiant Church’s headquarters, the Holy City of Suziaveli, from the hands of the Radiant Church’s arch-enemy, the Darkness Church’s senior beauty, the successor to the Dark Pope, Lisnell.

After Bella’s knight squad entered the Victor Prairie, a circle of blue energy boundary covered the entire knight squad. The Ice Guardian boundary that the Sea Demonic Dragon Amy Beth had set up would follow the movements of the members of the knight squad and move. The fierce blizzard on the Victor Prairie could not hit Bella and the rest thanks to the Ice Guardian boundary, which could be maintained by absorbing all the Water Magic elements from the surrounding without the need to inject too much energy in the world of ice and snow.

A lot of terrifying legends circulated on the Victor Prairie. Lisha seemed to be very interested in legends such as the mysterious Snowmen, mass hunting Snow Wolves, and the brutal Polar Ice Bears. The warhorse she was riding followed by Bella’s side. After seeing that Bella was bored, as a sister, Lisha told her some of these strange stories that happened on the snowy Prairie, which was considered relieving her boredom. 

Nobody had ever seen the Snowmen, and it was supposed that those who had seen them had gone to another world. The Snow Wolves were nothing mysterious. They belonged to a branch of the Demonic Beast, the Forest Demonic Wolves, and were also known as Ice Wolves. They were Demonic Beasts similar to the Forest Demonic Wolves and loved to hunt and attack fallen prey in groups.

The Polar Ice Bears were not unfamiliar Demonic Beasts. They were a branch of the Earth Demonic Bears and Forest Demonic Bears, which Bella had killed a lot of times, and did not have very high combat power. When they met Bella and the rest, they could only be resigned to their fate. Bella was more concerned about the Snowmen. When she was chatting with Lisha earlier, Lisha suddenly found a few mysterious snow-white figures running past in the snowy ground not far away. When Bella and the rest rushed over, no one could be seen. The snow blizzard had buried the footprints on the snow, and they could not tell whether Lisha had seen the legendary Snowman.

“Sister Lisha, our empire has heavy snow. With such a huge blizzard, even if the average Exploration Merchants did not encounter the attack of the Demonic Beasts from the snowy Prairie, they would be buried alive by the ice and snow.”

“Sister Bella, I’m not so sure about this. I remember that the snow wasn’t that heavy last time.”

Bella looked at the sky full of snow. The Victor Prairie now had a super blizzard. Without the Ice Guardian’s protection, Bella’s squad would probably have been buried alive by the blizzard. Bella felt that this encounter with the blizzard was a little abnormal, as if there was someone behind controlling and increasing it. It had no sign of weakening.

Bella and the rest relied on the compass that Bella had exchanged with task points from the System-Type Saviors’ system to navigate. Otherwise, there was nothing to indicate the direction in the snowy environment. After walking for a period of time, Bella and the rest camped in the same place ready to spend the night. They would wait until the next day when there was high visibility before continuing on their journey.

The New Moon Demonic Dragon Dorothea, who was more proficient in magic, unleashed fire magic and started a big fire in the cold environment. Crystal Dragon Princess, Purple Crystal and Emerald Demonic Dragon Princess Bess were responsible for using their special energy to set up lines of defense around the camp with crystal walls and the emerald barriers. Gem Dragon Queen Lolifel was responsible for using gemstones to help the members of the knight squad to build a temporary hut with gemstones as the material..

The gemstone material of such a gemstone hut was bright and looked very special in the snow. Dragon Knight General Olya looked at the busy beautiful girls from the Dragon Race and the comfortable Bella. She could only sigh that Bella could really do whatever she wanted with more contracted dragons. Besides being envious, she did not know what to say.

These exotic dragons with terrifying strength by Bella’s side made the other beautiful Dragon Knights in the squad embarrassed to summon their own steed dragons to show off. Compared to the group of dragons on Bella’s side, their Wyvern steed was simply too weak. The Collapsing Dragon Emperor Lolita, who had the strongest strength, had no specific tasks to do because their abilities were combat. They still could not use their other abilities for the time being.

After the campfire was set up, Bella invited Kriss off the horse carriage. Kriss was draped in a snow-white cloak, said to be made of Polar Ice Bear Fur, which had a very strong ability to keep one warm in the snowy environment. Only Kriss was a Swordsman among the entire knight squad, and the other beautiful knights had unanimously agreed to recommend this Ice Bear Cloak to her.

Kriss wanted to give it to Bella to use, but their generosity was too much for her, so she reluctantly accepted the special care of the beautiful knights. The members of the beautiful knights gathered around the campfire to enjoy dinner. Kriss was sitting on the right of Bella, while Lillith was sitting on the left. They were distributed well.

Perhaps because Bella’s squad had too many terrifying exotic dragons that emanated a dragon’s might, it deterred the other Ice Demonic Beasts on the prairie. Bella and the rest had never encountered an Ice Demonic Beast’s attack on the camp so far. Demonic Beasts such as the Snow Wolves and Polar Ice Bears seemed to have disappeared without a trace left.

It might not be a good thing to have not encountered Demonic Beasts. When Bella and the rest set up, they thought they could hunt some Demonic Beasts as a game, so they had not brought any dry food, meat, or wine with them on the journey. Bella was gnawing on dry food while feeling dejected as she drank some warm water. The confusion in her heart could be clearly seen on her face. 

For people who were used to eating fish and meat and luxury food, they could not be used to such food that was not even a coarse meal for the time being. The other members of the beautiful knight squad who were basically nobles and royalty from birth had little appetite for such rough, dry food. However, since Bella did not say anything, they also ate a few bites, just like Bella, and said they were full and would soon rest in their respective gemstone huts.

For the camp nightwatch, Bella wanted to let the other beautiful girls responsible for the night watch in the camp rest a while and expressed she would be responsible for it. They did not dare to refuse her goodwill, so they agreed. Kriss and Lisha wanted to help Bella, but Bella refused. She was actually not keeping watch alone. Those beautiful exotic dragon girls were basically energetic and not sleepy at all.

“Bella, I’ll keep watch with you! Anyway, I rested in the horse carriage just now, so I’m not tired.”

“Kriss, sleep well. You’re a guest. How can I ask a guest to keep watch?”

“Sister Bella, if Sister Kriss can’t do it, I’ll keep watch with you instead! The snow at night is very beautiful. Hey… Why are you flicking my forehead?”

“Sister Lisha, you’d better not bluff me. It’s snowing outside. What’s there to see at night? Go and have a rest. If you stay up late, you will not develop well. It won’t grow here.”

“Sister Bella is bullying me again. Sister Kriss, let’s go. We’ll live together today and let her keep watch alone.”

Lisha found Bella looking at her chest with a strange look and immediately understood what Bella meant by saying it would not grow. Actually, though Lisha was not considered having poor breasts, she was weak in comparison to the other beautiful ladies in the knight squad.

Only Lisha had a loli body shape among the beautiful human girls there and could not be compared to other beautiful girls. This was probably life! Even the cups of Lisha’s Dark Transformation, Demonic Dragon Emperor, did not increase much, but were also considered a loli with poor breasts.

When Lisha left, she did not forget to pull Kriss away, probably afraid that Bella and Kriss would secretly run away again, so she interacted with them in bed. Bella temporarily did not want to bully this naughty and smart sister. If she really wanted to sneak an attack at night, Lisha and Kriss sleeping on the same bed was convenient for Bella to have them both at one go.

After the other beautiful girls of the knight squad returned to the gemstone hut to rest, Bella sat by the campfire and started to keep watch. Those beautiful exotic dragon girls and those lolis that wanted to accompany Bella—Demon God Angel, Evil God Mia, and the rest—told Bella to go back and rest. Keeping a night watch actually did not require so many people.

However, Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman and Sea Demonic Dragon Amy Beth did not go back immediately. They seemed to have something to report to Bella privately. After the remaining beautiful girls went back, they then went forward and told Bella about the anomalies they had found. Bella was in no hurry to drive them away and sat down patiently to listen to their reports.

“Geleman, Amy Beth, don’t you guys need to rest? Don’t worry. I won’t sneak an attack on you at night. You guys can sleep peacefully.”

“Master, here you go again. There’s a blizzard here. Even the bad weather can’t stop your strange interest!”

“Geleman, don’t you think this environment is more exciting? It’s such a natural event. Even a meteorite falling from the sky can’t stop my pace!”

“You’re worthy of being our master. Well, we’ll talk about serious stuff. You’re free to do the strange things afterward as you wish. I feel the aura of the throne here.”

It turned out that Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman, one of the Six Pillars of Demonic Dragons, had felt that aura of the other thrones here, similar to the one she used to guard, the Thunder Throne. It meant that the abnormal super blizzard weather here was likely to be the doing of the Six Pillars of Demonic Dragons that were, like her, guarding a certain throne. Sea Demonic Dragon Amy Beth was here to corroborate about the Thunder Dragon Queen; it felt as if there was someone controlling and increasing the blizzard, deliberately attacking the ice boundary she had set up previously.

This kind of intuition between peers was always accurate. After Bella listened to it, she let these two also go back to rest. Regarding the Six Pillars of the Demonic Dragons, she did not have any fear. The Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman was also one and had been subdued. If the one behind this blizzard was a girl, then all could be forgiven. Otherwise, Bella would slay the dragons here in advance.

When the others rested, Bella carried an extra-long knight’s lance and kept watch by the campfire at the outermost edge of the camp. The outside of the camp was isolated by the emerald barriers and crystal walls, and most of the areas were safe. Bella just had to guard the entrance, where the campfire was. Defensive boundaries were not set up at the entrance and exit, just like an open door.

The ice boundary that Sea Demonic Dragon Amy Beth had set up was still effective and the snowstorm could not enter. Unfortunately, the ice boundary this time only isolated the snowstorm and could not block intruders. Otherwise, Bella could be free of worries and find a beautiful female knight bestie to ‘rub against the bed’. She could even take advantage and roll on the bed together.

As Bella looked at the snowflakes scatter, she also felt a little sleepy. As a Demon King, she was fine without rest. She was sleepy mainly because watching the snow was simply too boring, so it was easy for her eyelids to droop from the sleepiness. Just when Bella was about to fall asleep, a sharp sound of horse hooves dispelled her sleepiness.

Bella looked at where the sound was coming and found that the rapid hoofbeats were from their warhorses, which were shaking their legs uneasily, as if they sensed something horrible was approaching their camp. All the beautiful exotic dragon girls on the horse carriage had deliberately suppressed their Dragon Race aura in order not to frighten the warhorse and did not reveal any dragon’s might. The warhorses’ panic now was certainly not from dragons.

Bella looked at the entrance and found many hidden shadows in the blizzard approaching their camp. Due to the darkness, Bella could not see the true faces of those who had come, nor could she determine whether this person was the legendary Snowman or some other snowy Demonic Beings. The possibility of Snowy Demonic Beasts had been ruled out, and Snow Wolves and Polar Ice Bears would not walk so strangely for so long as those shadows had.

At first glance, someone was controlling these shadows. They were approaching the camp entrance where there was nothing blocking them in unison. Bella stood up and gripped the knight’s lance in her hands tightly as she calmly looked at the incoming enemy. She had no intention of waking up other beautiful girls for the time being. She alone could take care of the entrance.

The surroundings of the camp were blocked by emerald barriers and crystal walls, and those shadows were not able to enter. There would be no problem as long as she guarded the entrance. After the shadows walked in, Bella saw that it was a group of thinly dressed refugees with frozen faces, both men and women, as if they were survivors of a merchant or exploratory team that had been left behind after encountering some difficulties.

“Lord Knight, please let us in to experience the fire. Our merchants encountered a blizzard not too long ago with only a few of us left alive.”

“Lord Knight, for the sake of the Radiant Goddess, please help us out. My mercenary squad encountered an attack from a pack of Snow Wolves the day before and only I survived. The other people have died in the mouths of the wolves.”

Bella blocked the entrance and did not allow these refugees to approach. The knight’s lance in her hand emitted a golden glow, which was the sign of a Holy Knight  preparing to strike. Bella felt funny in her heart. If they had been normal humans, she might be cheated by them. However, these refugees were simply dead bodies when she looked at them from her Demon King’s vision. They were frozen standing corpses.

The snowy environment was very harsh, which directly led to the inconvenience of the Radiant Church sending people out to purify the dead who had died in the snow disaster. These guys that Bella encountered were the Snow Corpses on the snowy prairie, specializing in cheating  uninformed mercenary teams or passing merchants. Once they sympathized and let them in to experience the fire, the consequences would be unimaginable. Many adventurer teams were hoodwinked into being their members.

“Get lost! This place is not for the dead! I can’t be bothered hacking a dead body a few times.”

The knight’s lance in Bella’s hand released a flare, and under the effect of her powerful deterrence, these Snow Corpses stopped in their tracks, not daring to move forward. Although Bella was alone, her terrifying will to fight deterred them and made them give up.

After the two sides confronted each other for a period of time, these Snow Corpses reluctantly left in gloom. A knight like Bella was simply heretical. Bella did not buy their persuasion of knightly morality or even the Radiant Goddess. She just did not let them in, so they could only  admit their bad luck and disappear, so quickly as if they had never appeared.

“Bella, what are you doing?”

“Olya, it’s fine. I’m counting the snowflakes. Where are you going?”

“Um… Can you accompany me to the toilet?”
