The Villains Need to Save the World?

Bella had previously been informed about the Gabriel Empire’s Emperor’s little scheme by one of the transmigrators, Empress Manya Felan of the Manasvir Empire. Kriss found out about it way later than Bella. From the beginning, the Emperor had planned for Kriss to know, and he didn’t even send anyone to inform Bella.

The reason why Kriss felt so uneasy was that she would generally not refuse people unless she switches back to her dark form, Myriad Sword Demon Krysan. There’s a big chance this move is an attempt at a political marriage, but she has no idea which empire he’s aiming for. However, no matter who he’s trying to marry her off to, Bella plans to ruin his plan. To think he dares try anything with her friend (woman), even an emperor (father-in-law).

“Don’t worry, Kriss. I’m here. Nobody will be able to do anything to you. If the Emperor won’t give up, then he can either choose to be attacked by demons or suffer a rebellion in the duchy.”

“That’s not so good, is it, Bella? Many people will…Why don’t I just not go back? You have so many territories, I can just stay there!”

“That won’t do, Kriss. I have to make our engagement public. If you run off with me, then wouldn’t I be abducting the princess? Even though I don’t care what anyone thinks, wouldn’t we be showing weakness to your father if we run away at a time like this?”

“Fine, Bella. I’ll go with your arrangements, then.”

Kriss originally wanted to say something else, but when she saw the resolution in Bella’s eyes, she chose to listen to her. After all, Bella is a Demon King. Bella may not like trying to reason with the Emperor as a human. It’s likely that the Emperor might accept if she went with it the Demon King way, right?

“Big sister, Bella…Sister-in-law, so you were here!”

“Little sister, Bella…Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?”

“Princess Khalifa, Princess Kliveny, do you guys want to be that again? What sister-in-law? Just call me by my name.”

Princess Kriss’s little sister, Princess Kliveny found Bella and Kriss, and with her is the Kerclav Swordsman Academy’s Student Union PResident, grand princess of the Gabriel Empire, Kliveny. These two are Kriss’s sisters. In the past, after Kriss was possessed by a transmigrator, her hair turned platinum and her appearance also improved by leaps and bounds. Out of jealousy and suspicion, her sisters, Princess Khalifa and Princess Kliveny ended up subconsciously alienating her.

Now, their sisterly relationship was restored thanks to Bella. These two princesses have already been “pushed down” by Bella, and they also knew of Kriss’s relationship with her, which they tacitly accepted. If it was in the past, they would definitely have opposed it, but after being pushed down by Bella and experiencing the wonders of being bullied like that, they didn’t think there was anything bad about being with a girl.

Princess Khalifa and Princess Kliveny came out in their uniforms today and not anything fancy. If not for the fact that they were out of rooms in the villa, Bella would have wanted to invite the three sisters in for an evening date. If not for Kriss’s dazzling beauty, then Princess Khalifa and Princess Kliveny’s faces were of very high quality too. Only, everyone’s attention had already been attracted by Kriss.

“Bella, can you take me and Khalifa away too? Well, it’s just nicer to be around you. Your ability in that area is a bit too incredible, I’m worried Kriss alone won’t be able to take it.”

“Sister Kliveny, you…How did you know of Bella’s skills in that regard? Could it be, you two…?”

“Uh, well…This is what Little Sister Khalifa told me. I don’t know anything.”

“You two sisters are seriously… How did I end up as the target? What did I do wrong? You guys are so shy, really. Big Sister Bella, get engaged with me! Just ignore those two bad big sisters.”

Bella didn’t say anything. Even without Kliveny saying anything, she will still take the two princesses along when the time comes. Only, since Kliveny spoke, then she now had a legitimate reason to “snatch” them from the Gabriel Empire’s Emperor.

The next day, at the Aldridge Empire’s seaside resort spot, Oldrango City’s coastal region, the Christopher Dragon Ruins at the center of Phoenix Island. This is where the final round of the “Light of Dawn” event of the summer Twelve Academy Exchange Tournament is taking place. Bella has already cleaned up the venue before the competition so that no more chaos would ensue.

The gate connecting this place to the Cursed Land has already been sealed off. After receiving the candy bribes from Bella, Creator of Light Vianne, who rushed over, helped her seal the door completely. For the next few hundred years or so at the very least, they would be unable to open this door again.

The sudden disappearance of the Gate of Seal caused a great impact on the Twelve Academy Tournament as a whole. The Ancient Twelve Demon Kings’ forces that came for the gate withdrew from the tournament very soon and the system-type Saviors who came to investigate the Demon Kings’ trail also withdrew with their disappearance and moved on to other tasks.

Now, there was not as much suspense on the scoring of the competition. The Olsylvia Academy got to sit firmly on their no.1 spot, followed by the Alessandra Foreign Race Academy. The disparity between the two academies is so large that there’s no possible way they could overtake them.

The only real rival of Olsylvia Academy is Alessandra Academy in this Twelve Academy exchange tournament. Due to the special relationship between Bella and eight of the student union presidents, they have already become a special alliance. The last two who have not been dragged over yet could not move the trend.

Shortly before participating in the “Light of Dawn finals”, Bella received some good news and bad news. The good news is, the Olsylvia Academy’s biggest rival, the Alessandra Academy, will not be able to compete with Bella in the “Light of Dawn” event.

A few days ago, during the finals of the girls’ “Night of the Witches”, Bella summoned the Pentagram of Bonds and destroyed Alessandra Academy’s rainbow tower. After the competition, Bella made several inquiries with the dragon princesses after the match, and it was confirmed that there were several Vow Breakers at the rainbow tower during that time.

During the finals of the “Night of the Witches”, under the joint attack of the Chaos Bringers’ Chief, the Demon God Emperor, and the leader of the Chaos Bringers, the Ruler of the Void, as well as the hidden leader of the Saviors, the Forsaker, the rainbow tower was instantly destroyed. Following that, the Vow Breakers received direct injuries and will definitely be unable to participate in this “Light of Dawn” event.

Without the Vow Breakers, Alessandra Academy was no match for Olsylvia Academy’s Renegades, so it was predetermined that Olsylvia Academy would be the champions of the “Light of Dawn” event.

As for the bad news, it instantly dulled Bella’s excitement about being crowned early. It turns out that this year’s red tide on the eastern coast of the Human Continent came early, and it was happening about three days after the “Light of Dawn” event. The Other World version of the red tide was quite similar to Earth, it was a scene where the waters at the coast turned red.

The red tides are more troublesome in this Other World. It will temporarily flood low-lying islands or the beaches of islands and the eastern coastline of the Human Continent. This makes it so Bella’s summer bikini beach party had to be called off in advance. For the beaches to be completely submerged and the waters completely red, not even men could stand a beach like that, let alone the girls.

The red tide in this Other World is said to be caused by the raging vengeful ghosts. There are also rumors of it being from wars between Deep Sea Demonic Beasts, tears of the blood corals, and all kinds of other unbelievable legends. Since the Human Continent had little contact with the Oceanic Race, the authenticity of these legends has always been unsolved.

Bella prepared a lot of swimsuits in advance so she could promote them now. Nine of the Twelve Academies’ beautiful student union presidents are already in her hands, so marketing went smoothly. As for the remaining three, it would be nice to take this opportunity to advertise her bikinis to them as well.

But who knew that that would all come to ruin just because of that red tide. The red tide wasn’t caused by the god of the sea, otherwise Bella would have had the impulse to rile up her subordinates and off that god. A nice summer vacation was ruined just like that. Bella could only look at the sea and fantasize about her girlfriend Kriss and the girls playing by the sea in their swimsuits.

“No need to be down about it, Bella. If you really want to see it, we can head back to the room after the competition and I can wear it for you.”

“Trying to sneak away again, Big Sister Kriss? I can wear it for Big Sister Bella too! Even though I’m still young, I’ll grow up in the future!”

When a rare distraught look emerged on Bella’s face, Kriss, who was in the same team with her, along with Dragon Knight Lisha and the others all tried to comfort her. Even though they were currently at the “Light of Dawn’s” arena, Christopher Dragon Ruins, Olsylvia Academy’s team was not very nervous. They still had time to chat while they lit the lamps and protected their “Holy Lamp”. They looked more like a group of girls out on holiday.

Many academies participated in the “Light of Dawn” event, but most of the miscellaneous academies didn’t have the qualifications to enter the central area of the Christopher Dragon Ruins. Under Bella’s instructions behind the scenes, the teams of these petty academies were blocked out by the joint efforts of the teams from eight of the Twelve Academies who stood on the same side as the Olsylvia Academy.

As it turned out, these teams could not beat the elites even if they grouped up. These small teams tried many times to attack together, but they just couldn’t get past the beefy team of that academy and could only look at the depths of Christopher Dragon Ruins that were so close by and sigh helplessly. The teams that were blocking them have never thought of aiming for the champion title to begin with. They wanted to give that title to Bella’s Olsylvia Academy. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

The act of blocking the advancement of other academies in itself could not strictly be considered a violation of the rules. Under the existing rules of the competition, the act of these Twelve Academies’ members working together can only be described as unethical. One would have for new rules to be rolled out for this to be considered a violation.

Since Bella and the girls have already visited Christopher Dragon Ruins before the competition, Olsylvia Academy’s team was very familiar with the terrain and cleverly avoided several of the other remaining Twelve Academy teams. They did not encounter any resistance from the other academies even after lighting three Holy Lamp spots.

Bella and the girls were particularly lucky today as the three academies who could stop them have already ran into each other before they found Olsylvia Academy’s team due to their unfamiliarity of the place and lost in their civil war.

Alessandra Academy encountered the Elitechra Warrior Academy first and paid a great price to defeat their elite team. After that, they were quite unlucky to have encountered Sainsbury Archer Academy, which resulted in both sides incurring great damage, and had to withdraw from the finals altogether, which made the “Light of Dawn” event a solo campus showcase for Olsylvia Academy.

Bella and the girls came to the last Holy Lamp lighting point at the highest point of the Christopher Dragon Ruins, the Dragon Tower, and saw no other academies’ students. Bella felt a little sad that she was unable to see the beautiful student union president of Sainsbury Academy even at the very last second; that is to say, the face of the mysterious crown princess. Her team had already “left” along with Alessandra Academy’s team.

There was still the student union president of Elitechra Academy. That beauty is also a famous beauty of the Gabriel Empire. It was also a pity they did not meet this time. However, Bella discovered a being that prevented them from lighting the Holy Lamp at the top of the Dragon Tower. Based on their scouting from before this, there shouldn’t be any Demonic Beings here at the dragon ruins, so who knows how this guy popped up here.

It was a dragon-type Demonic Beast that was considered one of the sub-dragons. It has three dragon heads and looked more like a sea serpent, not so much a dragon. Only, its body was covered with scales similar to that of a dragon’s, which is the basis for it to be judged as a dragon-type Demonic Being. This dragon-type Demonic Being is crimson red all over and looks just like the color of the red tide.

“Foolish human, I am the Red Tide…”

“Screw that! Just listening to the color red pisses me off. Scram!”

“How is this…possible…I was…”

The overly arrogant dragon Demonic Being is able to speak the human language, and is part of one of the Red Sea Demonic Beast Army, the Three-Headed Red Dragon that was above SS rank. The reason it had the arrogance to pick a fight with the humans on the island is because it had the strength to back it up. Unfortunately, they found the wrong person to pick a fight with this time. Bella was currently in a state of extreme depression and as soon as she heard him mention the red tide, she threw a flying kick straight over.

That one flying kick directly kicked the Three-Headed Red Dragon to death and the powerful force landed it directly into the seawater in the distance. The instant it was kicked, the immense power of the Demon King shattered the being’s demonic core, leaving a big bloody hole on its body. It had been offed instantly without even being given the chance to retaliate.

After the demonic beast which had its core shattered fell into the ocean, a red field of red emerged from the ocean’s surface. The true origins of the red tide is actually related to these Red Sea Demonic Beasts, but Bella was too pissed to investigate why the Red Sea Demonic Beasts are here to begin with. Since she kicked the first general to death in an instant, it led directly to the red tide being delayed at Phoenix Artificial Island for a few days, but that was in the future, and Bella had already returned to the Human Continent at that time.

“Bella, that Demonic Beast seems to be SS-ranked, and you actually…with one kick…”

“Who cares what rank it is? I just can’t stand how red it is.”

Bella spoke as she went up to light the final Holy Lamp. With that, the Light of Dawn event came to an end, and Olsylvia Academy got to become the champions at the very end. In the subsequent overall rankings, Olsylvia Academy once again won the Twelve Academy Exchange Tournament, winning three consecutive times in a row.

The most promising challenger, Alessandra Academy, lost the final match with the Olsylvia Academy since their strongest “cheat members”, the Vow Breakers, were all defeated at the hands of the Demon God Emperor, the Ruler of the Void, and the Forsaker in the “Night of the Witches” event. In the “Light of Dawn” finals, they were unlucky and had to withdraw early due to the conflict with the other academies which ended in severe injuries, missing them the chance to turn the tides.

They can only wait for this year’s winter academic exchange to see if they can regain some face. As for the other Twelve Academy members, eight of them are Bella’s allies, making them mere “actors”, which leaves two that Alessandra Academy bumped into. This year, Olsylvia Academy really just coasted their way to victory and obtained the champion title of the Twelve Academy Exchange Tournament. In the coming years, Olsylvia Academy will still stay first in the academic rankings.

Since the red tide was about to hit, their original plan to have a fellowship activity post-competition with the other academies can only be postponed to this winter in the Academic Exchange Forum hosted by the Nation of the Knights, the Octavia Empire. The red tide affects most of the Human Race’s wooden ships, which will affect the safety of navigation.

For the safety of the students who came to participate in the tournament, Bella and the girls had to return early on their ships before they could stop to enjoy their island holiday on Phoenix Island. Since the tournament ended early, they are still considered in the off-school period for the competition, so Bella didn’t even take the trouble to take a leave from school.

After the group returned to Oldrango City, Bella said goodbye to Ocean Demon King Victoria and Dark Night Demon King Aggy first, the two Ancient Demon Kings, so that they could work on their tasks. After that, Bella talked with her girls about her next plans, which should be her heading back to the Gabriel Empire to deal with some trivial matters. None of the girls had any objections. They knew that the Gabriel Empire had recently been making some sort of matchmaking activity, but they had no idea that Bella was going back to ask for Kriss’s hand in marriage from her father.
