Scripps Cemetery Underground Sky Cathedral, in the central area of Vaolette Town, in the depths of the St. Mary’s Cathedral, the center of the former St. Mary’s Academy. A mysterious dark energy triangle shield had already covered the entire area. Bella used her own Demon God power, combined with the support of Creator of Darkness Mystica, broke through holy light that had protected Goldsmith for tens of thousands of years.

The farmland outside the Vaolette Town was under attack by Elaine’s puppet army. The fighting capacity of this improvised puppet army wasn’t the best among Elaine’s other puppets. However, their opponents were weaker. After all, Aesop’s female puppets were more of a plaything and had no fighting capacity.

As soon as the two sides met, Elaine’s puppet army immediately won a significant victory. The war situation was clearly one-sided, and the female puppets were soon subdued. Seeing that the army of puppet army had almost reached the edge of Vaolette Town, the second generation Light Pope Aesop and the fourth generation Light Pope Douglas, who were strolling leisurely in Vaolette Town, finally came to support them.

After a large number of demonic people under Aesop’s control arrived, the puppet army’s offensive was suppressed. Douglas now believed that Aesop hadn’t arranged anyone to steal his substitute body. A third party obviously controlled these demonic puppets.

Besides the dark forces commanded by Aesop and Douglas, there was another third-party dark force here, and the behind-the-scenes mastermind remained unknown for the time being. This was an unexpected situation that they haven’t encountered in more than 10,000 years. In the last 10,000 years, humans had only explored the Scripps Cemetery area twice.

The first time, Bishop Scripps had discovered the passage into the maze thousands of years ago, and the other was the massive tomb raiding organized by the humans not long ago. The humans wouldn’t be able to command so many terrifying puppets.

“Aesop, sorry about the misunderstanding. I didn’t think there was a third party here.”

“Brother Douglas, I have long said that I am only interested in young girls like Goldsmith. I wouldn’t rob you of your resurrection material.”

Aesop was about to brag more when a loud explosion came from behind, drawing his attention back to the scene. He turned around and felt that the explosion came from the center of the St. Mary’s Academy, the St. Mary’s Cathedral itself.

A plume of smoke rose from the St. Mary’s Cathedral. While Aesop and Douglas were busy commanding their army, Puppet Master Elaine and Assassin Noreya bypassed them from the side and rushed to the St. Mary’s Cathedral to meet Bella and the others.

“Damn it, St. Mary’s Cathedral was attacked by other demonic beings... Brother Douglas, please stand in command here, I’ll go and take a look at Goldsmith...”

“Go ahead. Don’t worry. I know you’re very concerned about your students.”

Aesop left before he had finished speaking, leaving Douglas whose tone was rather unpleasant. As if that old man would worry about Goldsmith! Even though they were both corrupted and relied on dark forces, Douglas couldn’t accept Aesop’s sadistic hobbies.

In the depths of the St. Mary’s Cathedral, Bella picked up Goldsmith and carried her princess style. Goldsmith was shivering on the ground. Goldsmith with her hands over her chest. She could only verbally protest Bella’s actions, but her body couldn’t resist Bella.

“What are you doing? Let me go. I’m going to shout!”

“Go ahead then. Your holiness, there are only demons here. If you shout, would they come back to save you? Don’t be silly; it’s safer to be with me.”

“You’re a naughty one, your holiness. You obviously feel it, but you’re pretending not to. Dishonest girls will be punished.”

“How do you... How do you know? Wait, I don’t... Stop blabbering nonsense...”

Bella whispered in Goldsmith’s ear and threw her into bewilderment. How could her emotional expressions be hidden from Bella’s experienced eyes? Faced with Goldsmith’s vehement denials, Bella didn’t say anything else to tease her. She had her own set of special methods to educate these beauties who say ‘no’ despite reacting physically.

Bella lowered her head and stroked Goldsmith’s silky back with her hand. She gently licked Goldsmith’s earlobe, exciting the beautiful girl so much that she buried her head directly in Bella’s chest. The sanctity that she held steadfast to for ten thousand years had fallen in an instant.

Bella had slept with many Holy Maidens of the Radiant Church. Although Goldsmith was the first generation Pope, she was a beginner in some aspects. Even Holy Maiden Daisy of the Salo’s faction knew more about these matters than she did.

“Your holiness, are you going to keep lying! Look at how wet...”

“Stop it, please, take me out of here! Can we talk about this later?”

Goldsmith, whose defenses had completely fallen, buried her head in Bella’s chest, her face flushed like that of a feverish patient. She answered Bella’s next question honestly, which relieved Bella, who had assumed that the first generation Light Pope would be a formidable opponent.

After being personally acquainted with Goldsmith, Bella felt that she was easier to deal with than the fifth generation Light Pope Roxanne. Bella managed to take her down without even doing anything. The reason why Goldsmith’s defenses fell so quickly was largely due to the various kinds of erotic suggestions that the second generation Pope Aesop had imperceptibly inputted into Goldsmith’s head over the past 10,000 years.

In the end, it was Bella who picked up this “bargain.” Aesop’s assists of more than 10,000 years made it so much easier for Bella. In this underground exploration of the Scripps Cemetery, Bella also accepted two commissions, one from Kleina, the daughter of the Skeleton Tower’s head, and the other from the mysterious Imperial Duchess.

Kleina had entrusted her with obtaining a special refining magic bottle. At the same time, the mysterious Imperial Duchess asked her to obtain a gemstone ring carried by the first generation Light Pope Goldsmith. Goldsmith knew where these two items were. She carried them with her and placed them within the holy light crystal pillar. With her prompt, Bella managed to find them. The goal of her mission for this Scripps Cemetery expedition was achieved.

The ceiling of the St. Mary’s Cathedral was destroyed by a demonic puppet. Puppet Master Elaine and Assassin Noreya appeared on the back of a giant puppet griffin. Aside from them was Kleina, who had been hidden on the frozen throne, and fifth generation Light Pope Roxanne, who was dressed as a mummy and put in a fake pharaoh’s coffin.

Bella carried Captain Mathilde, who had almost passed out on the cross, onto the griffin’s back. After that, she carefully passed Goldsmith to Elaine. When everything was done, Bella planned to retreat.

The location of second generation Pope Aesop and fourth generation Pope Douglas’ treasure was indeed under the Sky Cathedral and the Soul Tower, but Bella didn’t have the time to steal the treasure. Bella had planned to use her own treasures to pretend it was the spoils of their tomb-raiding because she was embarrassed to come out empty-handed for the first time they raided a tomb.

Strictly speaking, Bella hadn’t actually gone back empty-handed. She had stolen the biggest treasure, that is, the first generation Pope Goldsmith and the fifth generation Pope Roxanne of the Radiant Church who were worth more than other treasures. However, their identities couldn’t be disclosed for the time being. The news that the first generation Light Pope was still alive would probably cause unnecessary panic.

Assassin Noreya, who was in charge of surveillance, found something unusual. She quickly took out a small crossbow and arrow from her storage ring. An arrow shot across and pierced second-generation Pope Aesop who was about to attack from behind Bella.

“Damn it, give Goldsmith back. She is my student and will always be...”

Aesop’s substitute body was approaching the point of the break, and his voice turned hysterical. As soon as he came back, he saw a large hole in the crystal cylinder. The holy light had receded, and it was empty inside. Goldsmith had been kidnapped. His treasure that had been imprisoned for more than 10,000 years had been taken away by someone else. His anger was immeasurable.

Aesop let his anger go to his head and had forgotten about his magic attack abilities. Now he was like a mad man that had suddenly been angered, wanting to pounce on her. The eyes of his body were gone, leaving two hollow dark holes. The dark holes shed strange dark red bloody tears, which looked frightening.

Aesop’s morbid obsession with Goldsmith frightened the girl herself. After being freed from imprisonment, Goldsmith, who hadn’t regained his strength, buried her head in Elaine’s chest. She didn’t dare look at her former teacher, Aesop.

Although the first generation Light Pope Goldsmith didn’t dare to face the past for the time being, Bella was fearless. She boldly speculated that when Aesop used the substitute body, he was actually blind. He couldn’t see Bella and the others and could only zoom in on their positions by sensing.

Now, Aesop had let the anger go to his head. He jumped up again despite everything. There were many arrows stuck in his body, all of which were fired by Assassin Noreya to prevent him from advancing. Bella had already pulled back her Demon God’s right hand. Without a second thought, she grabbed her “Sanctioned Dagger” and stabbed Aesop in the chest.

Aesop couldn’t dodge and was hit right in the middle. The Sanctioned Dagger was bestowed upon the Radiant Church’s Holy Swordsman by the sixth generation Light Pope Lindberg and was a treasure inherited by the Holy Swordsmen. Its role was to punish any of the popes who might fall into corruption. This was the power conferred by the sixth generation Pope Lindberg on the Holy Swordsman to punish any evil popes.

Bella borrowed this “Sanctioned Dagger” from Holy Swordsman Cynthia just before she set out, which was perfect for this situation. From the sixth generation Light Pope Lindberg onwards, the popes had always followed the rules, so the “Sanctioned Dagger” had never been used.

“This dagger... belongs to Lindberg. Damn it, that bastard...”

The second generation Pope Aesop was now in a substitute body, so the Sanctioned Dagger could harm him. If he were in the soul state, this dagger wouldn’t be able to harm him.

Bella pulled out the Sanctioned Dagger and kicked Aesop several meters away. The deformed demonic people in the St. Mary’s Cathedral had long been sent by Aesop to the edge of Vaolette Town to fend off Elaine’s puppet army.

At present, Pope Aesop’s substitute body was the only one in the St. Mary’s Cathedral. It was easy for Bella to deal with him alone, but if his demon people came back to support him, that would be a different story. After Bella succeeded in her sneak attack, she didn’t hesitate and pulled Assassin Noreya’s outstretched hand.

Assassin Noreya yanked Bella onto the giant puppet griffin. Puppet Master Elaine patted the giant puppet griffin on the back, and the big guy immediately spread its wings and fluttered up into the sky.

“Stop... Lindberg, you bastard... You’re still interfering with my plans after death... Damn it!”

“Don’t think I will die. I am immortal! Just you wait, traitors...”

After the Sanctioned Dagger had pierced his chest, dark red blood flowed out of the substitute body double. The evil Pope Aesop bled profusely, black gas continuously emerging from the wound. The young man who was originally quite handsome, quickly aged and withered, and soon became a mummy and fell to the ground.

Before this, Aesop’s substitute body double’s body was completely quiet, but at this moment, his mouth opened and a miserable scream came out of it. He seemed to be cursing all the people who had taken Goldsmith from him. But Bella had already flown away so they could no longer hear the curses and insults of Aesop.

Aesop finally knelt on the ground and covered his chest with one hand, while he stretched out the other hand towards the direction of Bella’s puppet griffin. His gesture made it seem as if he wanted to capture something far away.

Under the power of the Sanctioned Dagger, Aesop’s substitute body double finally withered completely and turned into a pool of black liquid. The way his substitute body had been kneeling before its disappearance gave the impression that he was confessing to the various crimes he committed over 10,000 years. With the disappearance of Aesop’s body, the female puppets imprisoned here for more than 10,000 years were finally freed.

Bella and the others could see that in the Scripps Cemetery underground Sky Cathedral, the village girls in the rural areas outside the Vaolette Town, the female residents in the town itself, the nuns and female knights of the St. Mary’s Academy, and the reserve Holy Maidens’ in St. Mary’s Cathedral finally got their freedom.

The puppet threads attached to the puppet girls automatically fell off. They got up and bowed down with their hands folded in the direction of Bella’s puppet griffin as if they were thanking Bella for giving the evil Pope Aesop a fatal blow with the Sanctioned Dagger to free them.

After thanking Bella and her teammates, the puppet women continued to keep their hands folded, and their bodies bowed. With a smile, they quickly turned into dust and disappeared, leaving only piles of crystal-clear white bone dust on the ground. Because they had died more than 10,000 years ago, the souls of ordinary people couldn’t survive for that long, so aside from turning into white bone dust, there wasn’t any sign of soul sublimation.

The scene was like a picture out of the comics from her previous life that depicted the disappearance of all human beings after the end of the world. The puppet women of the Vaolette Town had vanished into dust. The torture of more than 10,000 years had finally ended.

Among them, Goldsmith was the one who felt most lost. Although Aesop had committed countless crimes, he was still her teacher. The evil Pope Aesop had to face his ending. Meanwhile, Bella, who killed Aesop with the Sanctioned Dagger, was the most relaxed one. Aesop’s substitute body couldn’t see what they looked like and only remembered the Sanctioned Dagger.

Bella cunningly threw the blame to sixth generation Light Pope Lindberg. If the evil Aesop didn’t die, he would only seek revenge from the soul of sixth generation Light Pope Lindberg. He couldn’t see Bella and the others but could only remember the Sanctioned Dagger.

If Bella remembered correctly, starting from the sixth generation Light Pope Lindbergh, all the popes who died were buried in the Holy Tomb. There were at least dozens of Light Popes’ spirits in the Holy Tomb. If Aesop dared to retaliate, the battle would be spectacular – the evil spirits of the second generation pope fighting against the spirits of the later generation popes.

“Are you Her Holiness Goldsmith? I have already chosen your coffin!”

“What is this strange box? Wait a minute. What are you doing? Help...”

With Elaine’s signal, Bella and Noreya helped put Goldsmith into another imitation pharaoh coffin and dressed her as a mummy. Like the fifth generation Pope Roxanne, Goldsmith had to pretend to be a dead body to get out of the Scripps Cemetery.

As soon as Bella and the others flew out of the Sky Cathedral area, they immediately switched to the Ice Throne and fled to the other side. The huge puppet griffin was used as bait to take on the attacks of Sky Demonic Dragon Emperor Omnis and was destroyed.
