My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 99: Battle Aftermath

The colossal magma black dragon immediately extinguished its smoldering fire.

The magic circle was too small for its massive body. Thus, it transformed into a smaller size with a poof and fled from the battlefield. It plunged into its master’s magic circle.

"Stop right there!" Yuuki immediately caught up with Ely at full speed without a second thought.

She managed to enter the teleportation magic circle, but Evelyn was one second too late.

"..." Evelyn stared at the fading blood-red magic circle with a complicated and chaotic feeling.

Sylvia kidnapped Ely, and Yuuki chased after them. However, she was too late because she had to protect her friend and people from Celestia’s destructive slash.

The radiant sun rays penetrated the fading dark clouds to illuminate the battlefield.

Everyone has already ceased their battle and clash. The battlefield fell into a dead silence for several minutes as everyone’s mind was still astonished about what had just happened.

It was indeed a near-death experience where the darkness almost wiped out everyone into nothingness, and they could do nothing about it. Not even a 10th Rank powerhouse could withstand that sword slash.

The one who unleashed that kind of destructive slash was someone from Sacred Sakura. The ancient demons referred to him as the Young Demon God.

The people from the Human Realm and the Northern Realm felt relieved and scared. Even so, they couldn’t help but feel amazed.

Even the ancient demons could talk about mutual benefits and peace thanks to Sacred Sakura. And with this kind of Young Demon God as their ally, it could no longer be called a war. Once the Young Demon God made his move, it would become a one-sided massacre.

Tens of thousands of demons and devils vanished into nothingness. Still, the alliance managed to retreat quickly because of the Celestial Fox and the Lightning Empress’s early warning.

"So, those demons ran away as soon as their backbone disappeared?" An old taoist stroked his beard as he watched the demons retreat into the Demon Realm.

"Shall we chase after them?" The other Demi-God expert considered the pros and cons for a moment.

"Let them go. We will only lose a lot of experts if we chase them into their domain." A particular Tiger Emperor shook his head.

The demons immediately retreated as they would only struggle in a losing battle since their backer was defeated. Their enemy was too strong, and they needed reinforcements. It was a tactical retreat.

Those still staying on the battlefield observed the abyss dividing the land in two. It was two kilometers wide and stretched more than two thousand kilometers away.

No one could see the bottom because of the darkness, and no one dared to approach too close to the abyss, let alone gaze at its depth.

"This is probably the 8th layer of mythical sword intent. No! This kind of power and destructive force... It’s probably the 9th layer of heavenly sword intent!" A swordmaster shouted loud, like a fanatic, as he observed the abyss from above.

Many people then began to inspect and observe the abyss caused by the Young Demon God’s sword slash. The ancient demons were so proud, and they allowed those humans to praise their Young Demon God too.

"Wow... This is the true power of a God-tier weapon." Bai Yuchen tried to go closer to the abyss, but his holy spear dragged him away.

This authentic God-tier holy weapon was still afraid of that sword of darkness...

"Hey, stop." Bai Yuchen tried to resist, but he failed.

It became a comical sight where the spear master was dragged away by his spear.

However, Bai Yuchen suddenly noticed the other people’s greedy gazes. He was only a 3rd Rank cultivator, but his spear was an SSS Rank weapon. The other powerhouses might take his spear from him.

With that thought in mind, he ordered his spear to fly away from the battlefield for safety. The terrified spear agreed without any conditions. Bai Yuchen then shot through the distant sky like a shooting star.

"Bai-" Hua Rong called out to her friend, but he flew far away.

Several people then came to her to inquire about the white tiger boy. She could only reply that Bai Yuchen was a rogue cultivator who saved her in the ancient secret realm. More than two dozen disciples could testify as he saved and protected them before Sacred Sakura’s people came to rescue.

There was also a particular young mage who had trouble answering questions from his childhood friend.

"You, how can you have that kind of tremendous magical power? Are you still my Chen Fan?" Wang Zi-Zhen felt both doubtful and astonished.

"I awakened my superior magic talent and aptitude. Let’s not talk about it here. I shall bring you somewhere else." Chen Fan immediately fled from the battlefield to the sky using magic like a shooting star. However, he brought his childhood friend along with him.

"Eh-huh? Wait, aaah! Hold on!" Wang Zi-Zhen was shocked and then shouted. Her only complaint was her childhood friend carried her like a bag of potatoes, not a person.

"..." Skyla flew down and picked up her fiance’s dark knight helmet.

She felt both scared and amazed by her fiance’s might, but she thought he had gone too far from her reach. He probably didn’t want her initially, but her life became a mess since the engagement. He must take responsibility for that.

"Excuse me, can you return that to us?" Gabriella asked politely.

Skyla turned around and found two dozen of Sacred Sakura’s people. She held the helmet with both hands, not wanting to let it go. "You-why should I return this to you?"

"It belongs to our master." Gabriella insisted.

"Your master is my fiance. Ask him to meet me later when he comes back. He is currently somewhere because of that female devil. Tell me. What kind of relationship does he have with that female devil? Why did she caress his face and hug him?" Skyla tried to interrogate the Sacred Sakura’s people as she felt insecure.

"This... they had chemistry in the past." Gabriella didn’t really understand either.

If that female devil was really Sylvia, that devil girl shouldn’t have attacked Yuuki and Evelyn. Her master also didn’t need to take such an extreme measure to defeat Sylvia.

Whatever it was, her master was the one who would resolve this misunderstanding, not her. After all, her master was neither the Young Demon God nor this nightmare demon girl’s fiance.

For now, she and the other disciples needed to follow a contingency plan. They had to return to the Sacred Mountain first.

"Chemistry?" Skyla raised her eyebrows. Her fiance has so many lovers by his side...

"Haha, since you are our Young Demon God’s people, you are also our comrades. Tell us where is the Sacred Sakura Holy Land. We also want to visit our Young Demon God’s sect." Abraham flew over with a loud laugh as if his previous injuries had never existed.

"Ancestor, are you all right?" Skyla was worried. Even though she knew high-class ancient demons were half-immortal, they could still be killed.

"Keke, I need to recover my spiritual energy, and everything is fine." Abraham raised his hand to reassure his clan’s princess.

Several ancient demons came closer as they still had some business with Sacred Sakura’s people.

"We cannot say or decide anything about this without our master’s permission. Please forgive us, senior." Gabriella clasped her hand to apologize.

Although her master convinced these ancient demons to become allies, the ancient demon was still the demon. She needed to be vigilant no matter what.

If it weren’t for the Nightmare Clan’s misunderstanding and her master’s interference, these ancient demons would have been the enemy.

"Keke, then tell him to visit us when he gets back. The previous clash was only because of a fight between the love bird, keke. Being young is nice." Abraham didn’t mind that.

He then looked at Skyla and told her something important. "That devil girl... They were probably lovers in the past. The bitter-sweet and love-hate relationship. He’s so bad, and you have many rivals. But it’s only natural for our Young Demon God to have many concubines. Let’s return. I will personally train and polish you. Don’t be so bitter."

After saying that, Nightmare Demon Ancestor took Skyla into the ancient secret realm.

Gabriella and the other disciples immediately left the vicinity using teleportation crystal. However, they didn’t directly head to the Sacred Mountain as they feared someone would try to track them down.

Every expert from the Human Realm and the Northern Realm paid their respects to the ancient demons before bidding farewell.

They also requested the ancient demons to return their disciples who had disappeared in the ancient secret realm.

Yet, the ancient demon kings couldn’t make a promise since they didn’t rule over the wild demonic monsters. Nevertheless, they would dispatch several teams for that.

The Nightmare Clan had already dispatched their teams on Young Demon God’s orders, so they would receive news soon.

The ancient demons had a lot of work to cultivate their new territory in the outside world. The ancestors went to recuperate, and the ancient demon kings ordered their people for several tasks.

Evelyn then led the Temple of Law’s people and the human alliance to retreat to the border town for the time being.

At that moment, the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace cultivators were still astonished by the current situation.

They still found it unbelievable to see how easily the Sacred Sakura Holy Land handled the entire situation. The Tiangong Sacred Land’s top powerhouses had been massacred, and the great ancestor had an unfortunate fate.

Not to mention, the Young Demon God unleashed a sword slash that split the realms in two.

The Human Realm and the Demon Realm became separated by an abyss of darkness, and this vast barren land became the ancient demons’ territory.

"Do you know what we need to do now?" The Blood Empress asked in an excited tone.

"Tiangong Sacred Land is doomed. With no powerful powerhouses, their sacred land is left unattended. We need to destroy that good-for-nothing sect for Sacred Sakura’s sake." One of the Frozen Cloud’s elders declared it determinedly.

"That’s it. Let’s go now, and we can share the treasures and resources. After that, we can give some to Sacred Sakura as a big gift." The Blood Empress nodded in agreement, as it was her intention.
