My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 139: Flawless Ancient Demonic Arts

"Stop it, young demon!"

A thunderous roar echoed from the sky. A black-light shot from the west, but Ely ignored it and still purged the Abyss Demon God into dust particles. She used another holy artifact to ensure the enemy couldn’t revive himself.

The Abyss Demon God couldn’t even scream because Sylvia shoved a lump of dirt into his mouth.

"Imbecile!"

A monstrous hound-like purple demon descended from the sky, causing a heavy crash. A large amount of soil was sent flying into the air upon his landing.

Several items were thrown out and scattered on the ground right after the newly resurrected Abyss Demon God met his demise.

Gabriella and Jophiel swiftly secured those items into a storage pouch. They also stored the ashes and the soil around it.

After that, they sealed the storage pouch. They were worried the Abyss Demon God would revive like what happened in the Artificial Hell.

Ely breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the purge was over and the white fire of purgatory was extinguished. The Abyss Demon God has left the world of living. He might have gone to the afterlife, where he should be.

However, a scary hound-like purple demon arrived with a thick malicious intent. That monstrous demon was more enormous than four elephants, had rows of reddish-black fangs larger than three bananas, and exuded a disguised chaotic aura above the Demon Emperor.

Everyone stared at the newcomer warily, including Ely. She glanced at that demon’s blazing purple eyes with some suspicion. This hound-like purple demon was clearly related to the Abyss Demon God.

"I told you to stop, but you still dare to kill him." The purple-hound demon clasped his hands behind his back.

His cape blew in the wind, and the black crown on his head glistened radiantly. He struck a pose and started to intimidate his enemies. He wasn’t worried about anything even though there was a massive 10th Rank black dragon and two 10th Rank demonesses.

"You’re just a Demi-God, and you dare to be arrogant in front of us?" Yuuki pursed her lips.

"Hmph! Anyone with great malice toward us deserves to die a thousand death. And you are no exception!" Sylvia aimed her dark spear towards the purple-hound demon.

*Crack* *Crack*

Black lightning flashed, and the black flames smoldered. Sylvia threw her spear, and it shot out like a projectile with three times the speed of sound.

*Swoosh!*

The thunderstorm tornado and black flames vortex destroyed anything in its path.

The purple-hound demon broke into a cold sweat. That destructive technique almost killed him on one move. If he failed to muster all his strength to dodge, he would have already been reduced to ashes like the one who had brought him here.

He could rival a suppressed God, but that devil girl was a dangerous threat. She was not as simple as he thought. A 10th Rank Peak Stage and a body refiner... she was just one step away from a God-rank! She could kill the suppressed God with that strength!

The dark spear flew back into Sylvia’s hand. She then smirked as she could tell the fear within her opponent. "Heh~ I missed it."

"Who dares to cause trouble at our ancient demon site and disrupt the construction of the Great Gerrard City!?"

A group of ancient demon ancestors and dozens of demon elites flew out of the realm gate in a rage. The news just reached their ears, and they rushed here immediately. Someone dared to offend Young Demon God’s group right outside their realm gate!

"It’s him. He not only insulted Young Demon God but also wanted to destroy us. We killed the small one, but the bigger one came for revenge." Jophiel pointed at the purple-hound demon.

"It’s only him? Presumptuous! Kill him!" Abraham stretched his hand forward, and dozens of demon elites rushed to gang up on the purple demon hound.

Several ancient demon ancestors also rushed to beat up the offender to leave a good impression in front of the Young Demon God.

"All right. We leave the rest to you." After saying that, Ely climbed onto Noir’s back.

"Yeah, leave him to us. We’ll kill him for you, Young Demon God. An easy death is too cheap for the one who opposes you." One of the ancient demon ancestors raised his hand and hit the offender again with his martial art.

A battle ensued, but the purple-hound demon was overwhelmed and ended up at a disadvantage. He was knocked down, and then the fierce beatings began.

He could not gain the upper hand against more than five peak-level powerhouses and more than a dozen elite demons at once. It was too much!

"Tch, a puny ant, and you dare to challenge our Young Demon God. Not even the Great God of the upper realm dares to challenge him." One of the ancient demon ancestors kicked the purple-hound demon’s stomach.

The offender was battered and couldn’t be more purple from bruises and internal injuries. The ancient demons also crippled the offender’s dantian.

"..." Ely felt a bit complicated. She hadn’t even listened to what the other party wanted to say but was already beaten like a swollen pig.

However, since that purple-hound demon was associated with the Abyss Demon God and both possessed great malice, she felt good because she brought good to the world.

"Until we meet again." Ely raised her hand in farewell.

That purple-hound demon’s fate was doomed in the ancient demons’ hands. Sylvia, Yuuki, Gabriella, and Jophiel didn’t care about the offender anymore and immediately stepped up to Noir’s back.

Noir immediately flew up into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

The ancient demons looked at the sky, watching the Young Demon God’s group leave. The low-class demons cheered loudly even though their God was no longer there. A few moments later, they returned to carry out their duties and jobs.

As for the offender, he was killed during the beating. His dead body was taken away by the demon elites into the ancient secret realm for investigation.

Ely used a camouflage and anti-detection artifact to disguise their presence. She then checked the items dropped by the Abyss Demon God.

"Hmm, he dropped many things. We’ve also secured the coffin shards and his ashes in case he can be revived like the monsters in the Hell Realm." Sylvia peeked into the storage pouch.

"Everything is cursed except this well-carved walking cane and unknown pandora wooden box. It might be the numinous treasure and the unknown harvest mentioned by the mission.

"The walking cane has a strange sacred aura, but the wooden box is weird... do we need to open it?" Yuuki also peeked into the storage pouch.

"Not now." Ely shook her head.

"Remembering the Evil God of Artificial Hell. We also obtained his entire realm and everything in it. He must have countless treasures in that hell." Jophiel spoke her thoughts with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, but there is a 50% chance of death if we try to find them. Even the Artificial Hell Core won’t touch the treasure troves he left behind casually." Ely sighed.

"That bad? Well, we’ll deal with that later. The Artificial Hell Realm is still deadly and harbours many trap mechanisms. That Evil God doesn’t want his things to fall into other’s hands." Sylvia agreed as she was aware of the danger.

They had only explored a small part of that separated private realm, which was already dangerous.

A while later, they arrived at the Reustin City, the fortified great city on the border between the Human Realm and the ancient demon’s new territory.

The city wall was over thirty meters high and nearly ten meters thick. As for the size, it was no smaller than the capital city.

Many experts in Human Realm poured a lot of resources into building super strong defences to deal with threats against demons, demonic beasts, and ancient demons.

No one wanted the first line of defence city tragedy to happen again.

The magic defence mechanisms were on standby all the time. Nevertheless, Ely’s group sneaked in without hindrance because the nature spirits helped them enter without anyone noticing it.

Ely was back in her shrine priestess outfit again. Everyone also took off their devil disguises.

"What are you going to do here, Ely?" Yuuki asked curiously.

"Mm, take a stroll and share some goodness." Ely looked at the crowd in the distance with relief.

She encountered many potent enemies in the last few days and felt pressured. Moreover, more than half of her holy artifacts and weapons were still in the one-month stage of recharging and cooldown.

Although there were many warriors and combatants, this city was also inhabited by many civilians. As a defence city directly adjacent to the danger zone, this city looked peaceful.

Ely took out several scrolls and handed them over to Sylvia’s arms. "This is the refined demonic arts redesigned by me and the Artificial Hell Core Key. I did something to your spiritual roots last night, and you can learn these God-tier techniques without any setbacks."

"Ah! Huh?" Sylvia was surprised, but she was excited. Ely just caressed her tummy last night, and she didn’t know that Ely was fixing her unstable spiritual roots.

She found no more flaws or setbacks when she checked her entire body. She could cultivate the flawless ancient demonic arts without any problems.

"Ely, thank you very much!" Sylvia ambushed Ely with a bear hug and gave her dear friend a peck on the cheek.

"Wha-" Jophiel immediately tried to separate Sylvia from her master.

"My pleasure. I keep my promise to you. Please cultivate and behave well." Ely hugged Sylvia back and smiled in reply.

"Okay~ I need to learn and comprehend these new techniques." Sylvia excused herself.

After getting Ely’s nod, she grabbed Noir and Gabriella to accompany her. "The Guardian of Dream’s headquarters is here, right? Bring me there now. Noir, let’s go!"

"Hey!" Gabriella protested, but she could do nothing to the devil pushover.

"..." The little Noir just resigned to his fate and let himself be dragged away by his master.
