My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 106: Vampire Progenitor

Sylvia didn’t know much about the Drocogalla Secret Realm, so Ely wished to know some essential points from the knowledgeable one.

In Klaus’s story, everyone knew he was the ninth vampire progenitor, the ancient blood devil. When he reached the very pinnacle of the mortal world’s power level, he tried to ascend to the upper realm.

He was prepared to break the realm’s restriction wall, but his strength was insufficient. The heavenly tribulation struck him down, and his body crumbled into dust instantly.

He barely saved his soul essence and returned to this secret realm with a soul defect.

For the next several thousand years, he spent his time in a deep slumber on this mountaintop as his resting place. He repaired his damaged soul and was nurtured by the secret realm’s spiritual energy, but it was progressing slowly.

Ely asked a few things, but she could only learn about the knowledge from thousands of years ago...

"I was shocked when my soul got repaired with just a bowl of food worth of essence. After thinking about this, I feel my thousands of years deep slumber pales compared to this incredible food." Klaus took another bowl of food, then put it in his storage pouch. He then hid it inside his spiritual body.

"Gawr..." The little black dragon nudged its master’s leg, hoping for more food. It could improve one’s cultivation, and it was also super delicious.

"You want more, Noir? Here it is." Sylvia glanced down, then took the nearby food. It was previously eaten by Klaus, the vampire ghost. The food without the essence.

Noir, the little magma black dragon, opened its mouth wide. It chewed something in its mouth, but no taste of indulgence or pleasant aroma wafted out.

After swallowing it, there was nothing filled its belly. It ate something, but the food was worth nothing.

Noir stared at its master for more.

This time, Sylvia gave one that was still fresh and nice.

"You have given your mount a name? Noir, is it?" Ely glanced at the nearby happy little black dragon. She couldn’t compare this adorable little dragon to that ferocious massive demonic magma black dragon.

"Yeah, I found it on a particular volcano five weeks ago. It attacked me for no reason. I beat it up black and blue, and it made a groaning sound like ’Noir, noir’, and that’s how I named it. I wanted to kill it, but it begged to be my mount." Sylvia tapped the little black dragon’s head.

"I guess it’s a male dragon..." Ely didn’t know why, but she got the vibe. Noir was a male dragon.

At that moment, she remembered last month’s quest about taming a particular dragon. She ignored that quest because it was too dangerous, and no one of her disciples had ever gone deep into the Demon Realm.

The black fire dragon from the Dark Hell Vulcano in the Demon Realm... So, Sylvia tamed him, and he became Sylvia’s mount.

"Then, it’s him." Sylvia nodded in agreement.

Klaus stroked his bloated belly, then floated down to the ground. He then asked in a solemn tone. "Hey, what do you want to do in this secret realm? You are not a native, right? Even the Emperor and the hidden noble clans will be alerted with this force."

"We..." Sylvia glanced at Ely inadvertently.

"We want to punish a particular devil from Devonshire Clan. He dared to manipulate my girl’s mind, and she wants revenge." Ely took the hint and immediately explained the purpose of their arrival.

"O-oh~ Devonshire Clan? I never heard of it. So, be it. Let me know if someone gives you trouble. Here, could you bring it with you? Press the switch, and I will come to help you. Also, please call me if you have other marvelous food." Klaus gave a magic item to the devil young master.

It was a small blood-red brick with a button on it.

Ely received it and expressed her gratitude.

"I have some matters to take care of. Then, til we meet again." Klaus bid his farewell and floated away.

However, he had yet to know the devil young master’s name. Thus, he immediately returned. "What’s your name, young devil? I haven’t had a chance to ask yet. Also, which sect or clan are you from?"

"I am Wakai Akuma (Young Devil) from Sacred Sakura." Ely thought for a while and decided to come up with that title.

"Wakai Akuma from Sacred Sakura... Your background is complex. Just exact your revenge and settle it personally. It will be complicated if it becomes a dispute between major factions." Klaus reminded his new friend before he flew away.

He didn’t care who would be punished. That stupid devil dared to offend this kind of powerful group. Even though a devil ancestor was involved, nobody, including him, could stop this group. So, he’d better play clean and build good relations for more nice things in the future.

"Let me borrow it for a moment." Sylvia borrowed the summoning switch.

When Klaus had gone far enough, Sylvia pressed the button, and Klaus suddenly popped out of thin air with a poof.

"What? Why did you call me right after I left? Did I leave something behind?" Klaus checked his storage pouch.

"No, I just wanted to test this little brick. Since it’s working, you won’t ignore our call, right?" Sylvia grinned. She stared at this magic item as if she found a new good toy.

"Well, don’t play with it. Give it back to your young master. I can’t trust the devil girl like you." Klaus frowned, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He snatched the switch from the devil girl’s hand with his magic and returned it to the devil young master.

After that, he left with a poof.

"What’s wrong with a devil girl like me? You old devil will forever be lonely and alone!" Sylvia condemned the ninth vampire progenitor. Her expression then changed right away as she looked at Ely.

"Hehe, Ely~ So, I’m your girl?" Sylvia brought her face closer to Ely’s. She couldn’t help but smile and tried to tease Ely.

"It was you who asked me to pretend to be your partner... I’m not good at this, but what must I do?" Ely tilted her head.

"You naughty devil, I still don’t agree with this idea. So, please behave accordingly. Your revenge plot will only start tomorrow." Yuuki put her hand on Sylvia’s forehead and pushed Sylvia’s face away.

Ely beckoned her disciples to come closer. She then activated a soundproof talisman. "Alright, Vampire Ulysses is our target, but we might alert the Empire’s top combatants and maybe the hidden powerhouses. We need more clues about Devonshire Clan’s backers."

Unfortunately, Klaus had never heard of the Devonshire Clan. Nevertheless, he provided a lot of information and volunteered to help them.

If it was like what Klaus said, then this secret realm’s hierarchy was more or less the same as the outside world. It would become complicated if bigger parties got involved in Sylvia’s revenge.

"Why not? More chaos is better. I will punish that bastard, regardless of his background. If I wanted him dead, then he wouldn’t live to see tomorrow. Also, I have the Devil Emperor’s favor. Let’s drag them to clean the mess." Sylvia took out a blood-red jade plaque.

"Emperor’s favor? Are you having an affair with him? You rebellious troublemaker..." Evelyn raised her fist as if she wished to beat someone.

"Bad." Jophiel nodded in agreement as she didn’t have good favorability towards Sylvia.

"Hey, mind your words. How rude. I’m a pure and good devil. I’m so charming and high in demand. Don’t tell me you don’t have such a problem. Even though I was mentally confused then, I belonged to my Goddess Master. I am her faithful devil familiar and servant." Sylvia slammed her hand onto the table.

Ely then mediated between the two sides. After that, they built several tents and rested for several hours.

The sky was still dark because the night would never change in that secret realm. However, the big full moon was no longer visible. It was so cloudy that night.

Ely slept for six hours. She woke up and found Gabriella and Jophiel next to her.

She used her perception ability and spotted her disciples taking turns on the night vigil. Yuuki and Sylvia meditated outside, then Evelyn and Kirara still rested in another tent.

’Sylvi is still fine. The evil energy within her goes dormant under my seal. Regardless, it probably can activate and make her bloodthirsty despite my seal. I must immediately eliminate those evil energy remnants from her body when we spot the Devonshire Clan.’ Ely observed Sylvia with her Sacred Vision.

She heaved a subtle sigh, then took out her grimoire. She didn’t have time to open it because of Klaus’ arrival, but now was the perfect time to check her improvements and many other things.
