My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 91: Let the Monsters Out

After the elders from allied forces slaughtered many demonic monsters and forced those monsters back to the ancient secret realm, several demon elders attacked the other escort elders.

The fight grew bigger by the hour until the main forces from various factions were forced to intervene.

The demons from the Demon Realm were greedy and believed they could team up with the ancient demons from the ancient secret realm.

That caused the people from the Human Realm to feel threatened. They had to fight the demons and ancient demons.

The beasts and demi-humans from the Northern Realm were also caught in the heat of the situation after their escort elders were wiped out by the demons.

That was why the great war suddenly happened just an hour after Yuuki and other powerful experts guarded the realm’s portal to prevent any monsters from invading the outside world.

’Ely, Frozen Cloud’s holy saintess, estimates the Tiangong Sacred Land will summon their great ancestor from the upper realm. That’s why they dare to challenge us and the other major forces without fear.’ Yuuki told the most important thing.

She had no idea how to prevent further destruction if they needed to face a God from the upper realm. Even though the mentioned God would be suppressed to the 10th Rank Peak Stage, she couldn’t protect Ely’s disciples if she fought that enemy.

’A God from the upper realm?’ Ely was taken aback.

The path to the upper realm, the Divine World, was sealed eons ago. However, some holy lands still possessed secret techniques to forcibly open the way to the upper realm.

The previous demonic cult performed the ritual sacrifice for years. It also required hundreds of people’s blood on the summoning day.

And yet, it only managed to open a slight dimensional gap.

If so, what did Tiangong Sacred Land do to summon the mentioned great ancestor from the upper realm?

Ely initially would try to stop the great war after the ancient realm exploration by some solution after public discussion from all parties. The Northern Realm allies would be useful then.

However, at this rate... the Tiangong Sacred Land would become too dangerous for her disciples and allies.

[Constellation of Fate send you a quest]

[Kill the God of Poison][Reward: HP +59K, CON +21, SP +190K, MP +1M]

"..." Ely didn’t know what to say.

The Constellation of Fate sent an urgent quest to her. The Tiangong Sacred Land was conducting a ritual to summon their great ancestor from the upper realm. Shui Meiying’s estimation proved correct!

However, the quest only gave her one option. It asked her to kill the God of Poison.

Ely returned to her sense after she finished talking with Yuuki via telepathy. She asked Yuuki to wait as she would immediately return using the teleportation crystal. They would do something about the great war and the Tiangong Sacred Land case.

But... She had subconsciously kneaded Skyla’s left breast. It had been going on for several minutes.

Ely felt a bit embarrassed when she realized that. She released Skyla and retracted her hand. She couldn’t feel anything because her hands were wrapped in gauntlets, and her focus was elsewhere during her secret conversation.

"..." Skyla covered her breasts with her arms. She took a few steps back and covered her blushing face.

After that, she immediately ran to the emergency bathroom to wash off the sticky black liquid that covered her body. She also urgently needed cold water to cool her head and a place to hide from the public eye.

"Keke, you can continue whatever you want later in your bridal chamber. You lift the curse like it’s nothing meaningful, Little Gerrard." Abraham nodded in satisfaction when he saw his clan’s top combatants were already free from the curse.

"!!!" Ely was surprised.

Abraham, the Nightmare Demon Ancestor, was nearby. She didn’t notice him until just now. But he also brought his friends here!

They were five 10th Rank, ancient demon ancestors! All of them were heavily built and possessed oppressive demonic auras. Even so, they looked quite suave...

Their cultivation base was still at mid-stage. So, Abraham became the strongest among them because he was already at the peak stage after the curse was removed.

"Oh! So this is the nightmare demon young lord, Gerrard Fear."

"His fiancee is pretty good, but why can’t I detect his cultivation base at all?"

"That’s because his cultivation is already far above ours. He has yet to go for his true ascension. He is already a Demon God but got suppressed by the mortal world’s law."

"Gerrard Fear. I met you at your engagement 37 years ago, but you look much shorter and thinner than I remember."

"Hey, that living sword of darkness at his back is terrifying. Be mindful of your words, or it will cut you in half."

The five ancient demon ancestors expressed their opinions while observing the Nightmare Clan’s young lord.

Ely asked why the other ancestors had come here, and Abraham enlightened her.

She was surprised because the five ancient demon ancestors had already become the Nightmare Demon’s allies, thanks to Nightmare Demon Ancestor.

This old monster boasted much about his clan’s young lord and got the other ancestors under his banner.

"Ahem! Anyway, can you lift our curse too?"

One of the ancient demon ancestors asked bluntly.

Hearing that, Ely saw a golden opportunity. If she could make the Nightmare Clan work for her, then she could also use the Nightmare Clan’s new allies to do something for her.

"It’s easy, but I can’t lift it for free." Ely smirked like a sly merchant, but nobody could see it because of her mask and helmet.

"Then, tell us, what do you want? Name the price, and you will get it."

The other ancient demon ancestor stated his confidence to provide anything. It was just a mundane thing to him.

"This is the price and materials for lifting the curse of one demon. I can lift your curse for free as a token of friendship." Ely handed over a piece of paper to every ancient demon ancestor except Abraham.

Free!? The five ancient demon ancestors were overjoyed. They could take care of their people’s curse in the future, but they were the priority.

Ely then crossed her arms as if she was troubled by something. "However, an annoying foe and his people suddenly appeared and intimidated my people in the outside world. Your treatment will need to wait."

"Foes, we can slay them for you, Young Demon God. Tell us who they are, and they will disappear instantly."

"Since we are allies, your enemy is our enemy too."

"We shall kill them for you. Unfortunately, Majin Demon Ancestor and Lich Demon Ancestor are unwilling to join us."

"Considering their clan couldn’t get along with the Nightmare Clan, that is only natural."

"They might have left to invade the outside world with their legion by now."

The five ancient demon ancestors wished to help the Young Demon God slay the annoying foes.

Abraham also wanted to join the fun. His clan’s young lord had established roots and foundations in the outside world, and he would definitely help his Young Demon God.

Martin and his wife brought the Nightmare Clan’s top combatants.

Ely then gave some information to the other ancient demon ancestors. After that, she brought everyone using the teleportation crystal.

A few minutes before Ely recruited the ancient demon ancestors and Nightmare Clan’s top combatants as reinforcements, Yuuki and the others were no longer guarding the gate.

The demonic monsters flocked out through the portal in waves.

The remaining elders from various factions already left the ancient secret realm to join their main force, and the ones were still inside the dark forest. The latter fate was unknown.

The Blood Moon Pavilion’s people, Frozen Cloud’s people, and the others felt this was not the best decision. But they couldn’t block the gate for too long. Not to mention, a great war had broken out on the other side of the realm portal.

"..." Yuuki was still waiting for Ely to come back. The ancient secret realm exploration was truly a headache. She never expected this outcome.

About six thousand talented disciples from over three hundred factions were lost in the dark forest. They might not come back alive because of those ancient demons and demonic monsters.

The great war, the ancient demon invasion, and Tiangong Sacred Land’s case...

She was still taken aback when Ely reassured her with some simple words. She didn’t care about the world’s fate because she could only think about Ely’s safety.

"Sigh..." Yuuki heaved a subtle sigh and looked down. The 10th Rank demonic turtle was dead because thousands of monsters panicked stampede.

She turned it upside down to seal its resistance and block the gate from the other monsters, but it was a major drawback for the turtle to expose its bottom side for that long.

Even though it was a Deity-level demonic monster, it still died after thousands of 4th Rank monsters and above attacked and trampled it.

"Fox girl, are you going to try to block us?"

A big blue menacing ancient demon came out from the ground. Two hundred elite demons and thousands of other monsters appeared from the ground a moment later.

*Rumble!*

An army of ghosts and skeleton undead popped out from the fog. A massive skeleton then spoke with an intimidating voice. "Move, or you’ll die a painful death."

"Please pass through the portal, and you will arrive at your destination, the outside world." Yuuki stood to the side and allowed the ancient demon to pass.

"..." The two ancient demon ancestors were astonished.

They thought they would face this 10th Rank nine-tailed fox, but she gave way to them without the slightest resistance.

"You come from the outside world, but why do you seem not to care even though you know that we will invade and bring terror to your world?" The Majin Demon Ancestor asked in wonder.

"We don’t wish to engage in unnecessary battle. You can try to invade the outside world if you have the capability." Yuuki shook her head and flew away from the secret realm’s portal.

Gabriella, Rafaela, Blood Empress, Shui Meiying, and the others soon followed suit.

Since the gate was unguarded, the two ancient demon ancestors marched their legion toward the outside world.
