NOVPUBEveryone disguised themselves as a high demon or known as the devil.
Ely was still in her disguise as an overbearing devil young master.
Somehow, Evelyn and Kirara disguised themselves as Ely’s demon maids.
Yuuki used her disguise, and blue marks ran all over her body like ancient demon tattoos. She became a demon fox.
Ely’s core disciples also disguised themselves. But, they wore the all-black robes and cloaks typical of demonic cultivators.
It was hard to tell each disciple apart. Fortunately, Ely’s eyes could see anyone’s status screen to easily identify them.
As for Sylvia... She was already a devil, to begin with. She wore a fancy black dress given by Ely because her previous outfit was rather inappropriate.
"..." The magma black dragon had nothing to say. It was treated as a mere mount and flew across the red sky to bring everyone to the Drocogalla Secret Realm.
"Ely, can you give me a Versatile Slime too? What do I need to do to get it?" Sylvia rubbed her hand together as she felt attracted to Ely’s disciple’s convenient outfits.
If she could have that, she could change her clothes however she wanted with endless possibilities.
"Let’s talk about it after your matters are over." Ely rolled her eyes. She had no intention of making more Versatile Slimes any time soon.
"Please pay attention to private distance and safety measures, miss devil. You are too close to our master." Jophiel reached out her hand and squeezed between her master and the devil. As a half-breed demoness, she felt insecure by this blood dragon devil.
"Why is that, little demoness? Before your master recruited you, I already her devil familiar." Sylvia crossed her arms.
"But, you defected. You abandoned her teaching for years. You even dare to embrace the inferior handicapped God’s inheritance instead of her legacy." Jophiel snorted and put her hand on her master’s arm. She gently pushed her master to take some distance from Sylvia.
"I’m just desperate. Was it wrong to try every possible way to summon her to my side after failing to find her for five years? Everyone scattered. They even go to other worlds to look for her." Sylvia looked down.
"..." Jophiel fell silent as she would probably do the same. She probably would have done even more extreme things if her master was missing and she couldn’t find her master anywhere.
"Sorry." The word left Jophiel’s mouth unconsciously.
"Maa, maa, please don’t argue. Sylvia was bad, but she’s a good devil now. Please treat her with respect as she is also our friend. She is the devil and may have done many evil things, but she shall embrace the virtuous path under my guidance." Ely tried to mediate between her disciples and Sylvia.
Ely’s disciples monitored Sylvia’s behaviour vigilantly. After all, they couldn’t trust the devil because they worried Sylvia would betray their master.
Yuuki, Evelyn, and Kirara also monitored Sylvia. However, they did it secretly, not too obvious. Only Yuuki stood beside Sylvia to prevent anything in case Sylvia’s devil impulse flared up.
Ely would use Sylvia’s evil energy remnant to find the culprit who manipulated Sylvia in the Drocogalla Secret Realm. That was why Ely didn’t eliminate it completely. It was temporarily sealed. Therefore, Sylvia needed to be watched closely and vigilantly.
This situation differed from Kirara’s case because the manipulator deserved severe punishment. Regardless, Sylvia might just kill that vampire overlord.
"..." Sylvia wanted to say a few things, but the snow fox was cold as usual.
"Is this the same Great Devil that possessed me?" Kirara asked in a whisper-like voice close to Evelyn’s ear.
She was nervous, and she noticed that some of Ely’s disciples also felt the same nervousness. This was her first time stepping into the dangerous Demon Realm, and she wasn’t the only one who felt that way.
"I don’t think so. That Demi-God vampire can’t possibly affect a 10th Rank devil with a forbidden spell. I suspect he has a powerful Deity or maybe a God-level backer." Evelyn shook her head.
"The stronger one?" Kirara asked with a bit of worry. She had never fought a demon above 6th Rank before...
"Yes, but there’s no need to worry. We have an evil nemesis and a powerful demon slayer team. Even a Demon God couldn’t leave unscathed once he offended us." Evelyn reassured her friend.
"Yuuki, do you know where our family’s pets are? They went to a deep slumber, right?" Sylvia suddenly asked.
"One is in the unknown void, but the other is underground. They will appear when the time comes. After everyone left, they told me they would reach godhood when our Goddess Master summoned them." Yuuki sighed. She didn’t know their whereabouts either.
"..." Ely accidentally eavesdropped on Sylvia and Yuuki’s conversation. She was also curious. However, she didn’t even remember the pets in question.
A few moments later, they arrived at their destination. The Drocogalla Secret Realm is an eternal full moon realm with abundant negative and yin energy.
The first place they encountered after passing through the secret realm’s portal was a valley with a large lake, reflecting the full moon perfectly.
Ely divided the group into eight teams. Her core disciples went with five two-person teams to scout the surrounding. Sylvia and the little magma black dragon became the vanguard in front. Yuuki was beside Ely as a protector. Evelyn and Kirara guarded the rear.
’This place has a lot of formless darkness-type demons. They resemble ghosts, but they’re not completely ghosts. In the deepest part is where the noble devil lives. One of them is the vampire of the Devonshire Clan. One of the most powerful devils in this secret realm is lizard-type devil-kin.’ Sylvia conversed with Ely through the telepathy talisman.
’So, they are your comrades? The lizard devil-kin.’ Yuuki also held Ely’s telepathy talisman to join in on the conversation.
’Hey, I was talking to Ely. Why is it now you, Yuuki?’ Sylvia complained.
’I am here. Yuuki wants to know the situation in this realm and how you will punish the mastermind who messed up your mind. Is he really the manipulator or just a one-time crime regarding that trap? I believe the main big villain is the flawed inheritance’s original owner.’ Ely wondered.
’Yes, even though it was me in my confused mental state, I can still remember some points about what happened. He used his schemes and incitement to make me slaughter his enemies and many more. He said the key to fulfilling my desire and goal was there, and the demonic me didn’t think twice and eradicated anyone that prevented me from getting the key.’ Sylvia was seething with anger.
’Well, whatever it is, what will you do to return the favour? Get it done fast, and we can go back.’ Yuuki rolled her eyes.
’This is my plan...’ Sylvia conveyed her simple plan.
She simply wished to punish and kill that vampire overlord but with grace. Since Ely disguised as a devil young master, she would need Ely’s help. She wanted Ely to come as her partner. The prince saved the beauty from her suffering and the evil vampire’s control. They would punish the villain in the name of justice.
’Why is your revenge so convoluted? Just kill him directly.’ Yuuki facepalmed.
’Hehe~ It’s boring. My plan is more interesting and fun, right?’ Sylvia chuckled. She then winked at Ely.
’...’ Ely didn’t know how to respond.
She had no idea why Sylvia could devise that plan, but it was like she was helping her friend drive away the despicable man who kept bothering her friend. So, it was not too bad.
Above everything, she wished to receive Sylvia’s help. She also wanted to slay some powerful evil demons to increase her stats. However, that didn’t mean she would slaughter all evil beings in this secret realm.
"Boo..."
A white ghost passed between the trees. Its comrades appeared out of nowhere. Ely’s group entered the low-class ghost territory.
*Swoosh*
Sylvia stabbed the nearby ghost with her blood dagger shrouded in darkness qi, and the ghost vanished into particles.
The other ghosts flew away in fright right away.
"Those are ghosts..." Ely muttered softly. She could only classify those spiritual creatures as a evil spirits and ghosts.
"One of the many types of formless demons. There are lots of ghost-like and evil spirit-like creatures here." Sylvia stepped forward to lead the team.
