Book 9: Chapter 515: The Background Secrets Hidden by the Dark Church and the End of the Fifth Dark King
At the center of the dark realm of the lost parallel world lay the ruling area. The eastern side of Fernandes City, the Dark Capital, belonged to Two Headed Ogre king Dorn, and it was known as the “Red District”. While pretending to be a Hybrid Demon vendor, Bella had previously snuck into the deepest part of the palace and accidentally met with the extra king of the Four Kings of Diablo, Corpse King Morka, the fifth king who was at the level of the Four Kings of Diablo.
Honestly, Bella had to admit that she admired Corpse King Morka’s creative amusement park as well as the special small farm that he had cultivated. However, she had no plans to make one of her own. Bella was satisfied to simply witness such a scene for once in her life.
Corpse King Morka wanted to trade some of his stuff with Bella, mostly equipment he had collected from the female chosen ones of the Darkness Church. He had various robes, scepters, armors, and crystal balls in front of him, all of which were equipment meant for a female human but were useless for demons.
As such, Corpse King Morka wanted to get rid of it by selling it at the price of cabbage to Bella, who was pretending to be a Hybrid Demon vendor. Along with the stuff from the Darkness Church, there were also a lot of the items that originally belonged to the Imperial family of the Gabriel Empire (Nation of the Sword). These items were bundled together as gifts and were sold with the previously mentioned equipment to Bella for next to nothing.
Not only did Alfred the Third lose his women and daughters to these demons, but even his property was also stolen and wiped clean from his estate. This was the second time Bella had encountered an emperor that had been reduced to such a miserable state. The other one was the emperor of the Manasvir Empire, whom the demon had replaced with an imposter after killing him off.
Bella looked at the items presented to her, but she didn’t take much interest in them. Instead, she was more attracted to the small houses placed on the evil farm and the people occupying them. Since it was rare for him to encounter someone who would listen to him and allow him to show off, Corpse King Morka didn’t think twice that Bella could be of threat. He took her to visit the small wooden houses.
Dark King Gregory, also known as Experiment Subject No.1, had ordered Two Headed Ogre King to handle and properly monitor the dangerous higher-level members of the Darkness Church. No one except him should be in charge of them, but clearly, Two Headed Ogre King Dorn wasn’t Corpse King Morka’s rival. With a few rounds of flattery, Corpse King Morka had managed to convince Dorn and was happily entrusted with the arduous mission.
“Even though Dark King Gregory had said to not show it to anyone, I’ll let you have a peak since you have purchased all those things. Once you leave, don’t ever talk about it to anyone. Else, you will lose your life.”
“Don’t worry, Corpse king Morka. This little one knows how to behave.”
The little huts on this farm housed several prominent figures of the Goddess of Darkness Church. The heir to the Dark Pope, Lisnell, the “Inheritance of Darkness”, as well as Fallen Holy Maiden and Demonic Swordsman were all kept here. These three belonged to the faction that believed in the Goddess of Darkness. They were in conflict with the two Dark Holy Maidens, Liz and Livina, who had been defeated by Bella.
Although the current ruler of the Darkness Church, the Dark Pope, had yet to express his support for either the Demon King Sect or for the Goddess of Darkness Sect, his heir, Lisnell, was a member of the Darkness Goddess Sect. In a way, this could be viewed that the Dark Pope of this generation seemed to be leaning towards the Goddess of Darkness Sect.
However, because of the sudden rise of the Demon King Sect during a short time, to balance his power, the Dark Pope could not afford to openly support the Goddess of Darkness sect. Since Bella had met with Lisnell before and even had a secret midnight rendezvous with her, she considered her an acquaintance. Bella did not hesitate to come over when she heard that Lisnell was in trouble.
Only one of the many cabins here was the real prison camp; the rest were set up as traps to confuse the intruders. Like all well-designed traps, the doors could not be randomly opened. One wrong move and one might lose their life. However, Bella was being led by Corpse King Morka, who had saved her the hassle of looking for the right room. Without any hindrance, they safely arrived at the place where Lisnell was imprisoned.
All three main members of the Goddess of the Darkness Sect were kept in this small hut. None of them were aware of Bella’s presence when she walked in, though. The way they were imprisoned was no less evil than the treatment of the chosen beautiful maiden of the Darkness Church that Bella had just seen. Furthermore, as they were important figures, they were being taken “extra care” of.
The first person Bella spotted was Lisnell, the heir to the Dark Pope of the Darkness Church. Aside from the black cross dangling on her neck, symbolizing the members of the Darkness Church, all other articles of clothing and jewelry had been removed. She was left stark naked, like all the other beautiful maidens of the Darkness Church that Bella had just passed by.
Lisnell’s perfectly proportioned snow-white body was also decorated with painted patterns. Her pattern was far more intricate and beautiful as compared to the ones on the maidens of the Darkness Church imprisoned outside.
As the heir of the Dark Pope, the design on Lisnell’s body consisted of many different flowers and complex styles that were absent on the body of other beautiful maidens of the Darkness Church. Out of all of the designs, the pattern of a black rose symbolizing the identity of the Dark Pope stood out the most. Bella instantly recognized it. Since she had secretly observed Lisnell for a long time, she previously hoped for a chance to see the naked body of this heir. Now, she could happily watch her without much effort.
Unlike the rest, Lisnell was bound to a wooden frame in the shape of the Chinese Character, “大”. Iron rings made up of forbidden materials were used to tie up her hands, foot joints, and neck. This was to prevent her from escaping from her restraints with the use of magical power.
The way this particular frame holding Lisnell rotated was also unique and different from the rest. Instead of spinning in a clockwise direction like the X-framed wheel, this one rolled back and forth like a ball. Technically, Lisnell was rotating with her face forward instead of from the side like the other maidens from the Darkness Church.
As if that was not bad enough, Lisnell was also not blindfolded like the rest, making it easier for her to get dizzy from all the rolling around. A small black ball was stuffed into her little cherry mouth, muffling her sound. Seeing Lisnell’s blurry eyes and flushed face, Bella figured that the heir of the Dark Pope would not be able to concentrate on using her power to escape.
On one of Lisnell’s side was Fallen Holy Maiden Leah, the last Dark Holy Maiden from what was previously known as the Three Dark Holy Maidens of the Darkness Church. The Demonic Lisner was placed on the other side of Lisnell. These two were treated the same as Lisnell in terms of being stark naked with only their black crosses lying across their bosom, just like all the other maidens of the Darkness Church captured here.
The only difference in treatment was the racks they were bound to. Looking at Fallen Holy Maiden Leah, Bella took note of her beautiful golden long locks. It particularly stood out against all the other girls, who were mainly brunettes. Bella also managed to compare her bust to the rest of the Dark Holy Maidens. Bella referred to her memory and ranked Leah first in terms of cup size.
Fallen Holy Maiden Lead was not only the most beautiful priest in the Darkness Church, but she was also the one who could cast most of the spells from the Radiant Church. Her ability was similar to that of Holy Maiden Daisy from the Radiant Church, who was able to cast the spell of darkness. Comparing the two, Bella felt that Daisy had a more youthful temperament as opposed to the more sophisticated allure of Fallen Holy Maiden Leah. In fact, Leah was like a noble descendant.
Leah’s hands were tied with restraints behind her back, and she was locked up in a special wooden cage. Since she didn’t struggle and resist much after she was caught, Corpse King Morka decided to just place her in a wooden cage. But of course, like every other piece of equipment used for confinement in this palace, things were not as simple. In her wooden cage, Leah was forced to straddle a thick hemp rope with multiple knots passing through her outermost sensitive area in between her private garden.
In order to not be irritated by the knots, Leah did not dare to move and simply stayed still in the cage like a pet bird. Like Lisnell, her mouth was also stuffed with a small black ball, but unlike the heir, Leah’s eyes were covered with a black blindfold.
Demonic Swordsman Lisner was also the heir of the Dark Pope of the Darkness Church, and in fact, she was the twin sister of Lisnell. Lisner’s origin was one of the highest kept secrets in the Darkness Church. Even the Three Dark Holy Maidens of the Darkness Church were not aware of it. For Bella, she could easily recognize them as twin sisters because, just like Calman and Cahlia, both Lisnell and Lisner looked exactly the same, even at first glance.
Bella wondered if this set of twins were similar to Calman and Cahlia, where one was more into bullying while the other had a more sensitive temperament. Aside from Lesner’s light blue pupils, like that of the sea, while her younger sister Lisnell has a darker hue of blue for her set of pupils, her figure and even skin tone was exactly the same as her sister’s. Without the eye colors to differentiate them, one would really not be able to tell them apart.
Normally, the Demonic Swordsman would often camouflage herself during a mission. In a way, it was similar to the habit of the Holy Swordsman from the Radiant Church, Cynthia. If it weren’t for the unexpected situation where she was caught alive, her true face would probably be hidden forever.
Since both of them looked similar, they often swapped their roles for fun. The Demonic Swordsman would sometimes pretend to be the heir of the Dark Pope, while the heir of the Dark Pope would pretend to be the Demonic Swordsman. As long as they themselves did not reveal it, even the three Dark Holy Maidens would not notice their swapped identities.
Lisner was apprehended in a guillotine-like tool. Leaning forward, both her hands were spread apart on either side of her head. Along with her neck, her wrists were locked and fixed on a wooden board. Like her sister, her eyes were not hindered by a blindfold. Her small mouth also contained a metal ring that kept her mouth wide open at all times.
Facing her sister, Lisner had a clear view of the way her sister was being tortured. Her waist was forced into an arch as her legs were spread open and stuck to the ground by a special wooden board. This causes her buttocks to be stuck out. Witnessing the sight, Bella felt the urge to slap it a few times.
Behind Lisner was an area where various leather whips and canes were kept. They were specially prepared to whip the soft white flesh of her derriere.
The bodies of both Fallen Holy Maiden Leah and Demonic Swordsman Lisner were painted with beautiful patterns. In fact, the intricate design seen on Lisner was exactly the same as her sister, Lisnell’s. The only difference was that Lisner had a small black sword painted on her chest, which could only be seen if observed carefully.
With the information she had collected, Bella concluded that those with patterns and designs on their bodies, regardless of their occupation, rank, or status, should belong to the Darkness Church that believed in the Goddess of Darkness. The two Dark Holy Maidens defeated by Bella, Liz and Livina, did not have painted details on their body. Thus, those belonging to the Demon King Sect would not paint their bodies with patterns, unlike the ones in the Goddess of Darkness Sect.
The bosoms of these three main members of the Goddess of Darkness Church Sect were extremely full. Small rectangular pieces of white tape were also attached to their two lovely cherries. They were not spared from the excruciating experience either. Like their fellow members of the Darkness Church, they were also forced to ingest a special potion that had made their pair of firm twin peaks to be full of special “milk”.
Luckily for them, Corpse King Morka was “controlled by a wife”. He did not force a lot of the strange potions into Lisnell and her fellow companions the way they did with the Imperial Queen Deborah V and the rest of the imperial concubines. Otherwise, these three beautiful maidens would probably have a strong desire to commit suicide.
Aside from the pair of their snow-white bosoms, all three of their faces were flushed red. Apparently, the strange potion not only induced a catalytic effect, but it also caused them to be excited. Strange traces of liquid could be found in between their thighs as they were currently not being hosed down. Their body was seen twisting uncomfortably, as if they were longing for something. Even though they could still be considered relatively clean, their bodies were reacting to the strange potion.
“Don’t be deceived by these little girls’ current, honest reaction. When they were first sent over, they were very noisy. Especially those twin sisters, they were so disobedient.
“Now, they are acting differently under my control. Unfortunately, I have no interest in little girls.”
Corpse King Morka ostentatiously explained the origins of these three beautiful maidens to Bella. Although Bella knew about it beforehand, for the purpose of her disguise, she feigned ignorance and followed the flow of Corpse King Morka. She patiently listened to every single explanation he made regarding these three girls.
When he captured the members of the Goddess of the Darkness Sect, Dark King Gregory had no intention of killing them as he had plans for them. Since Corpse King Morka still thought that Bella was nothing but a lowly Hybrid Demon, he boasted and secretly shared the confidential information from Dark King Gregory with her.
The royal token Bella had previously found on Lisnell, the heir of the Dark Pope, was an authentic one. She wasn’t lying at that time. It seemed that Lisnell had another identity apart from being the heir to the Dark Pope. Apparently, in the western part of the mainland, Lisnell was also the princess of the Kristoff Empire (Nation of Assassin). For some unknown reason, shortly after the split of the Darkness Church, the emperor of the Kristoff Empire and the Priestess of the Darkness Church fell in love, and the two secretly started a relationship.
This was the main reason why the Kristoff Empire (Nation of Assassins) had never allowed the Radiant Church to enter its territory and had always secretly accepted the Darkness Church. Technically, the heirs of the Dark Pope of the Darkness Church were the princesses of the Kristoff Empire. This made both Lisnell and Lisner princesses. Even some of the Dark Holy Maidens carried the Kristoff Empire’s noble blood in them.
Aside from the Pope of the Darkness Church, the heir of the Dark Pope, and the Demonic Swordsman, none other knew of this secret, not even the three Darkness Holy Maidens of the Darkness Church. Bella felt like she had gotten lucky. Out of the many princesses of countries she had tackled, her collection of the princesses from the Kristoff Empire was the least. In fact, aside from Princess Anne, the archer, and her younger sister, Anya, the vice president of the Assassins Academy, both of whom she had met when she first arrived at the human continent, she did not have the pleasure to meet any other princess from the Kristoff Empire.
Corpse King Morka didn’t really know all the specific details, but he did know that Dark King Gregory originally planned on infecting Princess Lisnell to spread the source of infection to the Western Region of the Human Continent. Before he managed to carry out his plans, though, he was discovered by the dimensional creators and he ran away to hide in the dark world.
When Creation God of the White Dimension Mary Lola appeared at the entrance of Bella’s Barracks, Dark King Gregory felt that she would be a threat to Experimental Subject no.1. To avoid being annihilated by Mary Lola, he decided to hide in the dark world before they found him. He even brought the captives he caught with him.
While Bella was talking to Corpse King Morka, Demonic Swordsman Lisner looked over to Bella with suspicion. Bella had a very dangerous gaze in her eyes. It was the same as one would hold if they were buying a female slave off of the slave market; it was not the kind of gaze that a woman would usually have. In their bonded state, even if the person scrutinizing them was another female, the three of them would still feel an abundance of shame.
“Corpse King Morka, are these girls for sale? You can name any price you want.”
“No, these are for your eyes only. Didn’t the Hybrid Demons stop human slaves trading a long time ago? Why are you now…”
“In that case, I apologize for the inconvenience. Have a good life ahead!”
Since Corpse King Morka was confident in his own strength, he had been standing in front of Bella, who was in disguise. All this while, he did not keep his guard up. So, he was surprised when Bella suddenly attacked him without notice. She turned her right hand into the hand of a Demon King and easily passed through his body as she pierced through his heart.
There were originally several layers of defensive barriers around Corpse King Morka, but they were no match for Bella at all. She easily penetrated his chest with her Demon King Hand. Bella swiftly absorbed Corpse King Morka’s energy. Morka’s frame quickly withered away with the loss of his vitality, as if it had been hollowed out.
“You are not a Hybrid Demon. Are you—”
“Don’t worry, I will inherit all that you own.”
“No! These are mine. Don’t you even think about it…”
Bella continued to insert the Demon King’s hand into the body of Corpse King Morka. With a slight twist, the powerful force instantly turned its upper body into ashes. Just like that, the fifth king of the Dark World met with a bitter death. Bella shamelessly attacked it without any warning, leaving her unmatched enemy with no way to defend itself.
With the death of Corpse King Morka, all the other zombie maids and zombie guards bustling in the Erotic Ranch fell to the ground, melting into puddles of water. Their souls were long gone. The only reason their physical body was able to sustain for more than four thousand years was due to the energy that was blessed by Corpse King Morka.
Now that Corpse King Morka had finally met with his death, all the slaves that had been enslaved for more than four thousand years were finally set free. Among the beautiful maidens present at the time of the battle, only Lisnell and the Demonic Swordsman Lisner saw what was happening. However, Bella didn’t mind it, as she knew she was unrecognizable in her current disguise.
When Bella’s Demon King Hand transformed back to normal, aside from the pile of a half mutilated corpse on the ground, everything seemed to return to normal. There was no other evidence of what had taken place before. It wasn’t the first time for Lisnell and Lisner to encounter such a situation. However, this time, the defeated party was at the level of a King of Diablo, and it was attacked sneakily. There was a big gap in terms of combat power.
Bella walked into the Erotic Ranch and put a stop to the evil merry-go-round. One by one, she released the imperial concubines from their suffering on the wooden horse. Even though they had been freed, the built-up excitement caused by the strange potion was still in them. The only solution Bella could think of was to take two of them and press their bodies together, letting them rub off on each other to temporarily quench their sexual urges. Most of the imperial concubines had surrendered to their desires a long time ago. They left their morals behind as they rubbed each other’s soft bodies to alleviate the side effects of the potion.
“My dear queen, you look so funny in this state. How about you stay here forever!”
“You are… female. I can give you whatever you desire!”
“Let me think about it and get back to you later. By the way, that person has given all of you to me. I am the new owner of this place!”
“Aren’t you a female? Let us also… No, I was wrong, don’t…”
“Who said that a woman can’t be the owner of slaves? You need to calm down a little.”
Queen Deborah V, who was now untied, bashfully looked at Bella. Her most shameful state was spread in front of Bella. She felt that she had lost all her dignity as a queen. Just as Deborah was about to refute Bella, Bella blindfolded and reinserted the ball in her mouth before setting her aside. To help her calm her down, Bella proceeded to order two imperial concubines, who were also captured there, to suck on the plump red cherries on Queen Deborah V’s ample bosom.
Bella had no intention to take over Queen Deborah V, as she wasn’t the “wife that controlled” Corpse King Morka. She simply wanted Deborah to understand her position and not interfere with her marriage with Kriss in the future. Seeing how their queen was controlled by the new female master, the rest of the imperial concubines no longer resisted her. They accepted that Bella had inherited the position as their new master from Corpse King Morka.
After dealing with Queen Deborah V and the rest of the imperial concubines, Bella headed over to Lisnell. She easily stopped the rotating equipment Lisnell was bound on. As if she was inspecting her goods, Bella began to caress the body of the heir of the Dark Pope. With her hands roaming her body, Bella made a mental comparison between Lisnell and President Maria, the heir to the Pope of Radiant Church.
