South of the Coristel Human Continent, within the borders of the Gabriel Empire, at the forest city of Brusk. The security at night was even more chaotic here. After leaving the city, it was merely a replica of the war-torn cities, so the residents would normally not go out after midnight. The smell of evil permeated everywhere where the light did not shine.
Even though the moon was out tonight, illuminating the entirety of Brusk City, there was an eerie aura around the city. Generally, the woods were where the Demonic Beasts wandered after nightfall. The sounds of Demonic Beasts would more or less be heard all around the city. But no one knew what happened tonight, as not a single noise could be heard from all around the forest, only dead silence.
Instead, a strange white fog was wafting out from the forest. The mercenaries guarding the city had no idea what was up with the fog. Since the main profession in the Gabriel Empire was the swordsmen, they had poor immunity to things like magic and special attacks, so they had no idea what the white fog was.
“What’s going on tonight? Can’t even hear a single Demonic Beast. Seriously, those Demonic Wolves would be howling their heads off at times like these.”
“Yeah! Especially the fog. It’s just too strange. But it’s good that we don’t have to hear those Demonic Beasts. We can go take a nap or something. Mike, keep watch here on your own. Call us if something happens!”
The gates of Brush City weren’t closed at night. The mercenaries who were hunting down the Demonic Beasts till late at night still needed to return. Once the other sentries had gone to slack off, Mike also wandered around the gates without care. He was already cursing those colleagues of his who were secretly skipping work. A bunch of good-for-nothings, they claimed they were going off for a nap, but they were probably going off to that corner to look for some “midnight vixens” for some special service!
When Mike was just about to find a place to lie down and rest, he saw the white fog drifting towards the city gates. There were also several dark figures coming this way within the fog. Due to how dense the fog was, he couldn’t see who they were and mistook them for the city’s mercenaries.
“What’s up with you guys, coming back so late? Were you slaying a dragon, or were you… were you…”
A few strange, long black strips stretched out from those shadows, piercing Mike’s body. After he fell to the ground, the faces of the shadows became much clearer under the moonlight. They were actually a group of hideously-faced, heavily-decomposed zombies, just like those from Resident Evil, as they moved towards Brusk City along with the white fog.
The zombies were wearing the armor of the mercenaries, so they were probably the mercenaries who left the city to hunt Demonic Beasts and had yet to return. They were very unlucky to have become the first victims, after which they, who had transformed into zombies, followed their habits when they were still alive and returned back to Brusk City, further expanding the scope of damage and infection.
In Brande Hotel at the center of Brusk City, Bella and the girls were resting in their room. Miss Sarah had already fallen asleep on the only bed in the room. The facilities in this run-down hotel were seriously too poor. Other than a bed, it didn’t even have a bathroom. Bella and the girls were sitting right outside on the floor on top of a straw mat.
Second Princess Karin had already changed into a tea ceremony kimono and was currently brewing tea for Bella. As the youngest loli, Princess Krylo didn’t know anything else, so she just helped Bella massage her shoulders. Eldest Princess Kliveny and Fourth Princess Khalifa were sitting next to Bella, talking to her about some interesting stories about the Gabriel Empire’s royal family. On the other hand, Kriss was sitting right across from Bella, listening with ease.
Demon God Angel, Evil God Mia, and Time Space Demon Noesha were sitting around a small table at the side, playing cards. Bella seemed to have taught them how to play “fight the landlord.” Poison Origin Betty was hiding in a small corner of the room, fiddling around with some bottles and potions. She seems to be urgently mixing up some sort of concoction.
Bella was chatting happily with Kriss and the girls on the surface, but in fact, she had never let her guard down inside. Earlier, Poison Origin Betty had secretly told Bella that she sensed strange energy outside of Brusk City that seemed to be similar to the biochemical viruses she used in the past. It was the type that turned people into zombies and attacked people indiscriminately. It was possible that they would be attacking Brusk City tonight.
The strange virus wasn’t exclusive to the Chaos Bringers. Based on Betty’s information, certain Chaos Bringers and some other types of Dimensional Creators could use stuff like biochemical viruses. After all, humans were all created by the Dimensional Creators, so it was not hard to rearrange some sequences and create something like a bio-virus.
The closest city to Brusk City, Austin City, had experienced the undead scourge from the Darkness Church’s Goddess faction not long ago. If Brusk City were attacked by zombies, then the residents of this Other World who had never seen Resident Evil before would definitely think of the undead scourge. The mastermind behind this zombie mutation could easily push the blame to the undead scourge and easily pack up when they were done without being suspected.
Betty was rushing a vaccine potion, but they seemed to have run out of time. Bella could vaguely hear screams and sounds of tearing from the outer periphery of the city. The mercenary guards basically couldn’t be relied on. It didn’t take long for them to break past the city gates. Bella got up and pushed open the door to look outside the corridor and could see the white fog sweeping in already.
Many dark figures were invading the hotel. That white fog was toxic, so as soon as someone entered it, they would quickly begin bleeding from all their orifices and fall down dead, after which they would become a part of the zombie army. Bella saw several mercenaries go up to try to stop it, but before they could fight the zombies, they already died of the fog first.
The Savior’s system that Bella brought with her also started beeping red. She logged in to check, only to see a notice sent to all system-type Saviors. It was about the crisis occurring in Brusk and telling Saviors not to do missions there. It also told those who were already there to evacuate as soon as possible. But one private message caught Bella’s attention. It was sent privately to her alone by a Fate.
No. 8 Fate: F-1444, what is the situation on your end? Why did you head over to Brusk City? Evacuate as soon as possible. Seriously, I send you so many missions, but you don’t do any of them. It’s not like there’s anything significant in Brusk City anyway.
F-1444 (Bella): Lord Fate, please help. I had just gone to the Gabriel Empire to participate in the matchmaking event, but I didn’t expect this to happen. I don’t want to become a zombie!
No. 8 Fate: Seriously, what am I going to do with you. It’s not impossible to help. I will have the No. 5 Fate send you a few vaccines through the system. If you’ve seen the movies, then just do as they do in the movies.
F-1444 (Bella): Many thanks to Lord Fate’s great kindness. I will definitely return the favor.
No. 8 Fate: There’s no need for that, F-1444. If anything happens to you, then who’s going to do the tasks I sent you? Be careful next time and move with the group. The other Saviors are in the northern part of the continent fighting the demons, so I really don’t understand why you went all the way down south for!
No. 8 Fate: Alright, enough of that. I’m going to look for No. 5 Fate now, so hold on!
Bella still wanted to chat more with the Savior Camp’s Eighth Fate, but the latter broke off their conversation one-sidedly. She probably really went to the Fifth Fate to borrow some potions. As for thanking her, she could only wait for the future. This Fate wasn’t a bad person. She could still remember to help the F-rank Saviors who had stumbled into a danger zone.
Bella didn’t need any immunity potions. Bella, Renegade Kriss, and Demon God Angel, along with the World Destructor and Chaos Bringer Camp lolis were immune to mutations. The only ones who needed potions were the four princesses of the empire, Kliveny and the others, as well as Young Mistress Sarah. They were all humans that had a 100% chance of being infected.
The Savior Camp was very efficient, so Bella didn’t have to wait long before receiving a dozen bottles of the vaccine sent to her through the system by a hyperdimensional transmission that was already packed in with special syringes just like those in the Resident Evil movies. Considering that the Savior Camp wasn’t known to save one or two low-ranking Saviors specifically, the Eighth Fate had deliberately lied and said that a dozen or so Saviors were trapped together with Bella when she helped her ask for the vaccine.
The Fifth Fate, who didn’t know anything, then directly passed a dozen bottles of the vaccine to Bella. If there were a dozen Saviors stuck there, then she definitely had to save them. Now, Bella really picked up a bargain and not only got a dozen bottles of the vaccine but also a map of the safe areas that the Fifth Fate sent through. Among the System-type Saviors, the only one who could get the help of two or more Fates at F-rank was Bella alone, and that could be said true for the past, present, and even the future.
“What’s this, Bella? It looks like a really sharp secret weapon.”
“Princess Krylo, this is an injection for you. Alright, take off your clothes. I’m going to give you all injections!”
“What? We have to… take our clothes off again… No, Mistress Bella! There are still a lot of people staying here!”
“You will either take off your clothes yourself, or I’ll do it for you.”
Bella revealed an evil smile on her face, but not because she wanted to do something bad. She already knew from saving Kriss before that this type of virus could also dissolve clothes. Other than armor, things like cloth and leather could be dissolved. Bella saw them all wearing cloth and leather, nobody changed into metal armor, so it was natural that it would be dissolved by the virus.
Kriss saw how hesitant her sisters were and took the lead in undressing herself. Seeing that even Kriss was not resisting, Grand Princess Kliveny and the others could only follow along and compromise, lying with their backs towards Bella. This position was not much different from being “taken from behind.” It was very embarrassing, but there were four princesses here after all. Things weren’t as awkward when there were so many of them.
Bella was like a doctor giving out injections to patients. Taking out the vaccines, she gave them injections one by one. The princesses who were jabbed held back and did not shout, but their faces were covered in sweat. Bella had deliberately squeezed them a few times before she did and got a good rub out of it before injecting them. Kriss didn’t have to be jabbed, she was just working with Bella to hold her sisters down. In a sense, she was considered Bella’s “partner in crime.”
Young Mistress Sarah was still sleeping inside, and the princesses were worried that they would wake her if they screamed. It would be awkward if they were to be seen this way. Bella already had their outfits after this. She took out a few metallic lingerie sets and put them in front of Grand Princess Kliveny and the others. The texture was similar to fish scales assembled into a bra and panty. It also came with fishnet chain stockings.
Bella, this type of underwear is just… too improper. Don’t you have any other type of underwear that’s more conservative and normal?”
“Nope, and I wouldn’t take it out now even if I did. It’s so unattractive! President Kliveny, choose one. Wear this, or wear nothing at all. Quickly decide cause we’re going to have to leave later. If you want to go out onto the streets naked, then I don’t have any qualms about it.”
Faced with the “erotic choices” Bella offered, Princess Kliveny could only choose the least shameful option. At this moment, some of the white fog had already invaded the room. The clothes they had stripped down onto the floor were turned right into ashes by the white fog. When they saw this scene, Kliveny finally realized why Bella had them take their clothes off.
Bella took the opportunity of the moment when the princesses were changing into lingerie to bring two sets to the bed. Bella’s clothes were also almost dissolved away by the white fog. She had to help Young Mistress Sarah change as well while helping her inject the vaccine. Kriss stayed around to change while assisting Bella to monitor whether her sisters had changed into the metal lingeries as instructed.
“What’s going on? Captain Bella, this white fog… You, what are…”
“Sorry, Miss Sarah. You’re not going to like this, but I’ll explain it to you later.”
Bella pressed Sarah down and tore the clothes right off her body, revealing the snow-white underwear inside. Sarah could sense that things weren’t good as she was just about to cover her chest with her hands when Bella pressed them both at her sides. Then, she lowered her head and directly bit off the buttons on Sarah’s bra, destroying her “last line of defense.”
After that, Bella turned the naked Sarah around and stuck the needle into the softest spot on her back. Sarah wanted to scream, but her mouth was pressed against the pillow, silencing her. She didn’t have much cultivation as she wasn’t that strong either. Encountering such a strong “criminal” like Bella, she could only resign herself to her fate.
The subsequent change of clothes was much simpler. Sarah had already fainted from the pain, so Bella could easily change her. Demon God Angel and Evil God Mia had also changed into the strange clothes along with Bella and the others since they thought it was fun. Since everyone had already changed, Angel and Mia didn’t want to be special either, so they just followed suit.
The white fog in Brusk City soon covered the entire city. Most of the nobles staying at Brande Hotel had already evacuated as soon as the situation occurred. Bella and the girls were the last to leave. However, since they had already been sprayed with the “Death Mark” provided to them by Poison Origin Betty, they were similar to the undead in the eyes of the zombies.
Bella found an abandoned carriage. While she pulled it along with Kriss at the front, the princesses were in the carriage and did not come out while Angel and the other lolis kept a watch around the area. Sarah had already been made unconscious by Bella. She was worried that a simple-minded young noble lady like her won’t be able to bear such a horrible scene.
The streets of Brusk City were filled with infected residents who dragged their bloodied bodies through the streets like zombies. Not a single living person could be seen anymore. According to Poison Origin Betty, this virus was a copycat of the one she created in the last biochemical crisis, and it was only a half-finished product. These infected zombies would automatically melt into a puddle during the next day when the sun would come out, leaving no traces of their remains at all.
Most of the zombies had already gone out of the city to chase after the living people. Based on the safety map given to her by the Fifth Fate, as long as Bella went in the opposite direction, she would be able to leave the dangerous spot without any problems. Bella was a little hesitant. Sarah’s older sister, one of Prince Brad’s most beloved granddaughters, Cathy, seemed to have followed the nobles who fled through the back door.
Even though Prince Brad was one of her political enemies, that didn’t stop Bella from trying to pick up his daughter. Kriss seemed to be able to figure out what Bella was thinking. This demoness probably had her eyes on some beautiful young mistress again. However, she didn’t say anything. It was better to leave this kind of thing to Bella’s own decision.
“Kriss, why don’t we leave through the back door? It’s likely there’s a mastermind commanding the situation at the front gates, so it’s not good for us to fight like this.”
“Anything you say, Bella. But they don’t seem to want to let us go!”
When Bella was turning the carriage, she found that Demonic Beings were blocking their path. The Demonic Beings that appeared weren’t zombies, but actual Demonic Beings like Goatmen and some lanky, ghastly shadows. These guys were certainly not zombies. Bella could see the Demon King Army’s mark on their bodies, and the logo was from the Ancient Twelve Demon Kings.
Bella had not seen this mark before, so it was a Demon King that she wasn’t acquainted with. Fortunately, Bella had met several female Demon Kings and knew that female Demon Kings who were part of the Ancient Twelve had special marks. That Demon King logo had the special mark of a female Demon King, proving that whoever was commanding these demons was a female Demon King that Bella had not met before.
It was fine as long as it was a female. Bella didn’t want her erotic lingerie to be seen by a male Demon King. If it were a male Demon King, then Bella would not hesitate to use the full force of the Darkness Sacred Region to put that guy to death right here.
“Hey, what’s going on with you bunch? When did the humans get so creative to wear this underwear out?”
In the white fog above the demonic army was a charming figure. This Demon King did not originally intend to show herself as it was best not to do so in this plan. However, when she saw the strange metal lingerie worn by Bella and the others, she couldn’t help her curiosity and came out to take a look.
