In Andorra Town, many Abyss Insect Demons gathered. However, besides the Bloodthirsty Mantises, there weren’t any other anti-air demons here. The majority of the insect demons that could fly, such as the Poisonous Moths and Poison Bees, had been sent to Kurus City to stop the Abyss Mechanical Race.
The headquarters of the Abyss Insect Race was located in the distant Angus City. In order to get there, one would have to go through the Insect controlled Rofsky Camp. Bella’s airship fleet stopped far away from that hive.
Near the hive-like structure of the camp, there were several flying Abyss Insect Demons patrolling around the hive. If the airships had stopped any closer, they would have been discovered by the patrolling insects. Bella didn’t send any Skeleton Firearm Soldiers; this would be a sneak attack.
Unfortunately, Assassin Noreya wasn’t here. The assassins on Bella’s side that could have carried out this infiltration, such as the girls of the Alexis Academy, as well as their student president Dinah and vice president Anya, were all collapsed bonelessly on the ground thanks to Bella’s attention. Bella couldn’t send them in their current condition; she was worried for their safety.
After thinking it through, Bella decided to go scout things out herself. However, this time, Lisha and Kriss refused to let her go alone. They didn’t want Bella to take this risk all by herself this time. Bella could only allow them to accompany her.
“Bella, how are you planning to do this? There’s a pile of cockroaches on the ground... No, they’re a huge pile of Abyss Crypt Insects.”
“Those Crypt Insects aren’t a threat. It’s night time right now, I already have a plan, but you girls might find it embarrassing. You two should just stay here and wait for me...”
“No way, Big Sis Bella, you’re thinking of braving all of the danger by yourself again. I won’t allow it. Also, you know how powerful Kriss and I are, just say it, what’s your plan...”
“Then, come over here and look through my telescope. I’ll whisper the plan into your ear. After you’ve decided, Kriss will do the same.”
Lisha and Kriss both gave Bella confused glances. Lisha walked over and looked through the proffered telescope. Her face turned extremely red, even her ears colored. Kriss didn’t know what Bella had whispered into her ear, but it was definitely not something that could be said in public.
“What do you think... Lisha, if you don’t like it, then just stay back and wait for me on the airship.”
“No... Big Sis Bella, if you can do it, then why would I be scared? Big Sis Kriss definitely won’t wind either. Big Sis Kriss, let’s go! We’ll go as three, all together like we promised!”
Bella laughed secretly in her heart. Lisha was really too proud. Even though she was clearly beyond embarrassed, she still wanted to pull Kriss into the deep end with her. She probably felt that it would be less shameful if more people participated! Meanwhile, Kriss didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She didn’t even get a chance to see what the dangers were before she was dragged along by Lisha.
Seeing Lisha’s pitiful expression, Kriss couldn’t refuse even if she wanted. Kriss walked over to Bella and looked through the telescope. Even if she couldn’t refuse, she still wanted to know what Bella had planned for her, so she could prepare.
She saw that the road that led to the center of Andorra Town was covered by many moving white shadows. They were gradually approaching the hive. They were all beautiful girls. Their clothes had been dissolved by the insect demons’ acid and their pale skin shone in pure white in the night.
They were female students from the other academies that had accompanied Bella. When their Forest Giant Eagles had been ambushed earlier, only Olsylvia Academy, Listabel Academy, and Dimiost Academy had been able to escape. The other academies had all fallen in the ambush.
She didn’t know where the male students had run off to, but the remaining girls, about a hundred or so at a glance, had been captured. Their hands were bound by Crypt Spider silk while their necks bore black collars. They were currently being led, ten to a group, by Crypt Insects toward the hive.
The girls’ eyes were covered with black blindfolds, while their mouths were gagged with black ball gags. If any girl slowed down, the surrounding Crypt Insects would use their antennae to whip the girl’s sensitive spots.
The dirt road that they walked on was stained with the girls’ sweat, tears, and other fluids. After the ambush, the male students had disappeared, while the female students had been captured by the Crypt Insects, their clothes and equipment dissolved by acid. Now they were being led to the hive; who knew what would happen to them?
Bella wondered if the Abyss Demons had come from a movie studio on Earth. Based on their deviant actions, they were all debased “gentlemen”. It would be a waste for them not to shoot “movies”. Bella, Lisha, and Kriss mixed into the group of girls near the end, where the prisoner organization was more lax. Instead of being forced into ten person groups, the girls back here were allowed to move forward at their own pace.
Although they appeared naked, Bella and the girls were actually disguised in skin tight suits. They only appeared to be naked. Although there weren’t any men around to ogle them, the human faces of the insect demons around them made Bella and her friends feel nauseous. It felt as if they may as well be humans.
The three girls were fully equipped in their disguises. Their black blindfolds were actually see-through and didn’t affect their vision at all. Their collars were very loose, and weren’t even closed, they were basically props. As for their ball gags, they were made from chocolate. Although they appeared to be drooling like the other girls, it was from enjoyment rather than suffering.
Once the chocolate ball gags came into contact with saliva, they would dissolve quickly. They were purely decorative. As for the silk binding their hands, it wasn’t Crypt Spider silk, but rather an imitation. It was made with Black-Widow Empress Ulysses’s cast-off spider silk. It wasn’t sticky at all, and it would be strange if it could tie someone up.
In order to avoid attention, the skin suits that Bella and the girls wore were neutral in color; they weren’t too pale. They looked similar to any ordinary girl in the crowd. The supervising Bloodthirsty Mantises were unable to see through their disguises, allowing these three “counterfeit girls” to sneak in.
Bella snuck appraising glances at the girls around her. Although they weren’t from the Twelve Ivies, the quality of these girls from the other miscellaneous academies wasn’t bad. With their pale skin they gave off “girl next door” vibes. Unfortunately, Bella’s “Sky Ark” couldn’t carry all of these girls. If she wanted to rescue them, she would have to come up with a different plan. Bella decided to observe them for now.
Bella and the rest successfully reached the beehive-like Abyss Demon Lair. This was Bella’s first time entering the main lair of the Abyss Demonic Insect Race. The Poison Bee lair that she had visited earlier had only been a branch lair, it couldn’t compare to this location.
The BDSM vibe in this lair was even stronger than before. Bella and her friends were the last group of girls to enter the hive. There were several hundred girls that were imprisoned here, and they were all completely naked. Once they reached the lair, their collars were replaced with heavy black metal collars. The hand and leg bindings were replaced with chains made from the same material, as well as their ball gags.
The girls were brought one by one in front of cylindrical glass pillars. They were then paralysed and knocked out with venom before being shoved inside the pillars. Afterwards, the pillars filled up with a mysterious fluid.
Bella was filled with admiration as she looked at all of those beautiful bare and delicate bodies floating within the pillars. She had never even imagined playing with girls like this. The girls were turned into “live specimens” and that mysterious fluid was likely some sort of nutrient liquid.
There were new variations of the Demonic Insect Race within the lair, although Bella couldn’t stand their appearance. They looked like enormous butterflies. They were called Abyss Human Faced Butterflies, and were a race of parasitic Abyss Butterflies that had taken over a human’s body.
Those Human Faced Butterflies were using female bodies. Furthermore, the bodies were completely naked and uncensored. Unfortunately, their skin color had changed to that of a corpse, it was likely that their original host was dead. They grew a pair of giant butterfly wings from their backs that were covered with strange and insidious designs. Some of the patterns looked like enormous eyes, while others looked like various human limbs.
The most disgusting thing about these demonic butterflies, was that their heads were no longer human, and were instead butterfly heads. The sight of an insectoid head grafted on a human body was horrifying. Lisha and Kriss, who were standing behind Bella, were on the verge of vomiting. Only Bella, who was experienced in her past life, and also was a former man, could stomach such a sight.
The Human Faced Butterflies conversed in human speech. Their voices were filled with strange overtones, as if they were from a horror movie, creating a terrifying atmosphere. Bella watched as another girl was led up to a glass pillar. She was still blindfolded, and could see none of the surrounding horrors, yet she still shivered uncontrollably. The fearsome voices of the butterflies were enough to terrify 99% of the girls here.
“This wench... Her figure isn’t bad, the next host will be her. Girls really have the best bodies. Human bodies really are easier to use...”
“Look how scared she is... this liquid...”
“That’s enough, hurry up. Our Queen told us to increase our pace...”
The two butterflies dragged over a beautiful girl, and stabbed her in various places with needles, just like a pair of well trained nurses. However, the procedure was so painful that the girl immediately fainted. The two butterflies pushed her inside the glass pillar which filled with nutrient liquid.
Watching this, Bella finally understood. The Human Faced Butterflies wanted to use these beautiful girls as their hosts. The majority of the butterfly demons’ host bodies currently were the girls of Andorra Town, and the pile of broken glass pillars farther up seemed to affirm Bella’s guess.
The Human Faced Butterflies could only use the females of other species as a host creature. The best hosts were the elves and fairy races, with humans coming in at second best. Furthermore, if the host was a virgin, the resultant mutant would be capable of imitating a human and had the possibility of infiltrating the human empires, the consequences of which would be dire.
The several hundred new arrivals all fit this criteria. Bella could no longer merely observe on the sidelines. That crazy Abyss Creator Vicky Hill was having her creations do such a horrible thing. The fact that they were targeting beautiful women had aroused Bella’s “competitive streak”; she had to eradicate them.
Shooting a meaningful glance at Kriss and Lisha, Bella swallowed her chocolate ball gag and began moving away under the cover of the crowd. If they waited any longer then it would be their turn at the glass pillars. The three girls were still wearing their nude skinsuits, and looked like they were streaking.
They split according to plan. Bella went in search of the mysterious third creator while Lisha was on look out. Kriss was in charge of looking for any other openings in the lair. The lair was built on the highest point of Andorra Town. The grand theater should still have some parts that hadn’t been totally assimilated into the lair yet.
As long as they could find an opening, the waiting airship fleet could blast open a throughway with cannonfire, allowing support from skeleton soldiers. As for the girls, Bella had already planned for the worst. If she couldn’t rescue them, then she would bury them here. That way, at least they wouldn’t have to suffer the fate of becoming an Abyss Demon’s host.
“What are those three females doing? Hurry up and chase them...”
Before long, the three girls were discovered. It wasn’t due to their disguises being seen through, but rather, several new Human Faced Butterflies had appeared. Several fearsome butterflies slowly floated into the air. These demons still had their original hosts’ faces, except they were exceptionally ugly. They must’ve been formed from virgin hosts.
Andorra Town had a fairly large population, and it was impossible for there not to be at least a few virgins. These butterflies were the result of the parasitization of those poor girls. Under their orders, the Crypt Insects and Butterflies began assaulting Bella’s position.
“You really are a bunch of disgusting bastards, disappear for me!”
Kriss was the first to act. She pulled a sword out of nowhere with Bella and Lisha mirroring her actions. This was all due to Kriss’s support. Although it looked like they were completely naked, they had come fully prepared for battle.
Several Crypt Insects that had come too close to Kriss were bisected by her sword aura. In an instant, their sickly green blood sprayed out, painting a bloody scene. Since there was no need to hide their prowess from any bystanders, the three girls could unleash their full powers.
Lisha attacked in a domineering fashion. She leapt into the air to smash a heavy fist into the head of a Bloodthirsty Mantis. The power of the Demonic Dragon Emperor left an enormous hole in the demon’s skull as it collapsed limply onto the ground.
The Abyss Bloodthirsty Mantis counted as an elite monster of the Abyss Insect Race. Seeing one of their elites instantly slain by a short human girl greatly diminished the fighting intent of the rest of the lair. Most of the insects hesitated for a second. Taking advantage of this brief moment, Bella swung her sword and decapitated a Human Faced Butterfly.
“Don’t hesitate, charge! There’s only three of them, we have an entire hive...”
“Charge...”
The Human Faced Butterfly that shouted the charge order had barely gotten his words out before a blast of cannonfire took off his head. This supporting fire came from the “Miracle Arc” of the Grim Airship Fleet.
The sound of cannonfire echoed from outside the lair. Kriss had found an opening and was directing the fleet’s forces to assault the lair. Once their undercover operation had been exposed, Bella directly switched to a straightforward assault.
Bella had originally wanted to play the quiet “thief”. Unfortunately, she had been discovered. Without any other options, she could only switch to becoming a “bandit”. Andorra Town’s covert infiltration had rapidly turned into an open raid with sounds of battle filling the night.
