Book 5: Chapter 214: The Hunt On Ayden Plains Begins
In the central area of Octavia Empire, outside Camp Polit near the Knightâs Sacred LandsâAyden Plains, it was now the morning of the second day, and the âKnightâs Assemblyâ event held by Ogleria Academy and Ophelias Academy was just beginning.
More than a thousand student knights from Olsylvia Academy were taking part in this activity. Compared to the ten thousand students sent by Ogleria Academy and Ophelias Academy each, they were undoubtedly the side cast.
With its large area, Ayden Plains was already equivalent to a relatively large duchy. Although it was called plains, this region had all kinds of terrains, including mountains, lakes, rivers and others, but the plains covered the largest area, which was probably why it was called Ayden Plains.
The knights sent by Ogleria Academy and Ophelias Academy were on the left and right sides respectively. Because they were Earth Knights, the knights of Ogleria Academy had pure black knight armor. Looking at the large patch of black, anyone who didnât know better wouldâve assumed they were Death Knights.
Opposite Ogleria Academy was the Ophelias Academy that trained Sky Knights. Their chosen armor was silver and white. Because they had flying demonic beasts, the knights of Ophelia Academy were now hovering in the sky.
Compared with these two professional Knight Academies, the student knights of Olsylvia Academy looked inferior. They had all kinds of armor and demonic beasts and looked out of place.
Bella led the female knights some distance away from the male knights led by Dragon Knight Shawn. Bella expressed that she had nothing to do with this messy group of boys. Scott and the others couldnât even choose a uniform color for their armor, making a team of more than a thousand people looked like a second-class army.
The female knights led by Bella all wore the same, uniform, new armor made of platinum. She had referenced the Japanese manga from the previous world for creating an armor that exposed a little skin. The upper body breastplate and lower body skirt armor wasnât connected so the thighs and a huge area of pale skin was clearly visible.
The armor was decorated with red and white roses. Bella had already assigned their task. Knights with white roses were mainly responsible for defense, while knights with red roses were in charge of attacking. In order to further distinguish the duties of the two sides, white rose knights wore white stockings and white gloves, while red rose knights wore black stockings and black gloves.
The sexy female knightsâ armor was designed by Bella in a very evil manner last night. In order not to let others take advantage of it, each girl was given a brown cloak, which covered this sexy armor, so outsiders couldnât taste its benefits. Bella didnât intend to let them take off their outer cloaks until they were deep in the Ayden Plains where no one was around.
Bella and Lishaâs armor was a bit special. Bellaâs armor was decorated with black roses while the decoration on Lishaâs was a rare gold rose. The stockings and gloves Lisha wore were fishnet, full of erotic flavor.
This had been personally chosen by Demonic Dragon Alisha last night, which technically made it Lishaâs own intention. Although Lisha was blushing and seemed a little shy, she still insisted on wearing the armor.
The captain of Ophelias Academyâs Dragon Knights, Crimson Knight Elise, and the captain of Ogleria Academyâs Dillon Knights, Styx Knight Stacey, looked at Bella and the others with strange eyes. Although they didnât have X-ray vision, they could still vaguely perceive the other world influence in Bellaâs armor due to their hidden instincts.
The armor of the female knights led by Bella was essentially demonic armor made from the energy from demonic matter and was all living. The platinum on the outer layer was merely camouflage.
âShirley, why didnât you come in last night? I was waiting for you all night. I wanted to design a suit of armor for you.â
âUm⊠something happened last night! Iâm just a knightâs attendant now. I can do without armor!â
Bella complained a little regretfully to Summoner Shirley. God knows what this beautiful girl was doing in the camp square last night. She had waited for her for a long time, but the girl hadnât jumped into her trap at all. Now, all the girls in the team except for Shirley were her own people. No matter what, she couldnât allow Shirley to remain as the only âspecialâ one.
âYou must come visit me sometime over the next few days when youâre free. Iâve prepared everything. Also, take this summoning book. It will be useful later. Just add the summoning drawings you previously made into the book.â
âAlright, Iâll take a lookâŠâ
Shirley took over the âAbyss Night Demonâ and put the summoning drawings drawn last night into the book. After that, the drawings were âeatenâ by this magic book, which was like a living creature. With that, demonic beasts could be directly summoned without another drawing.
âAlright, knights. As the organizer of the event, Iâd like to briefly describe the contents of this activity on the Ayden Plains.â
As a representative of the organizers of the event, Prince Hilton of the Octavia Empire stepped onto a high platform and briefly explained the specific rules and precautions for the hunt on the Ayden Plains over the next five days.
Ogleria Academy and Ophelias Academy participated in this activity all year round, so they already knew the rules and precautions of the activity. Prince Hiltonâs comments are mainly aimed at Olsylvia Academy, which sent new people each time.
The five-day hunting activity of the âKnightsâ Assemblyâ was similar to the Great Hunt of Olsylvia Academy that Bella had attended before. They are both activities that determined ranking by hunting demonic beasts and then competing for trophies or points.
The difference between this and the âGreat Huntâ was that the location was fixed to the vast area of the Ayden Plains. According to the rules, the participating knights werenât allowed to carry magical supplementary potions or be accompanied by mages. They could only carry their equipment and use demonic beasts.
This required the participating knights to first lay down hunting grounds on the Ayden Plains so that they could provide food for their knights, then hunt demonic beasts that could provide support for various situations, and finally hunt large demonic beasts on the Ayden Plain to accumulate points.
This was similar to the routine of some strategic online games in the previous world, first developing and then playing against the BOSS. There were many demonic beasts that could provide magic assistance to knights, such as the âScarlet Flamingoâ. After defeating it, its blood can be made into emergency recovery medicine.
Demonic beasts similar to the âScarlet Flamingoâ included the âDark Blue Demonâ and the âGreen Monitor Lizardâ. The blood of the former could be used as an emergency recovery medicine, while the blood of the latter could be used to refine a poison antidote.
There were many kinds of demonic beasts in the Ayden Plains, all of which belonged to the group of âonline game mythical beastsâ that was usually sort of dumb and would ignore them if they didnât take the initiative to attack. But if they did attack, they would quickly turn nasty and continuously attack them back.
For safety purposes, each participating knight was sent a bottle of emergency dispersing potion. If they were beaten to the ground by a demonic beast and couldnât fight back, or if there was a threat to their lives, this bottle of potion hanging near their chest would automatically break and drive the demonic beast away.
Knights were the profession that spent the most money among all of the human military professions. Any death during the hunt was a major incident. The dispersing potion was designed to prevent against any accidents. However, once the potion was broken, it was tantamount to withdrawing from the competition.
After Prince Hilton announced the start of the event, the knights of Ogleria Academy and Ophelias Academy snatched the hunting grounds on the Ayden Plains and the hunting area in the sky above the Ayden Plains as if they had agreed to do so in advance.
This left the student knights of Olsylvia Academy at a loss at. Their number couldnât match the other side, and âoutside fightingâ for hunting grounds wasnât allowed. Savior Scott was overwhelmed at the time. If he couldnât solve it with force, he couldnât think of another solution.
Dragon Knight Shawn, who was captain of the male knights division, had a lot of wilderness survival experience. When God Chosen Knight Scott, was all muddled, he calmly directed the knights to go deep into the Ayden Plains to find new hunting grounds.
Bella only had twenty-odd people on her side. She had Angel, Mia, Betty and Noesha and the others hidden to provide assistance. Wasnât this just the other worldâs version of wilderness survival where they competed by killing monsters and racking up points? Bella was confident that her experience was no worse than that of Crimson Knight Elise and Styx Knight Stacey.
Since their numbers couldnât compete with Ogleria Academy and Ophelias Academy, Bella decided to lead them to snatch up the âelite monsters.â She directly skipped over hunting food and collecting aid materials.
They could use the elite monsterâs meat for food since they only had a little more than twenty people. They didnât have to worry that the food wasnât enough. As for aid materials, they had Betty, the âDemon of Poison Refiningâ, so it wasnât a problem at all. As for magic assistance, as long as they didnât use magic to injure the demonic beasts, the organizers wouldnât find out.
Angelâs soul magic, Miaâs curse magic and Noeshaâs space-time transfer magic wouldnât cause direct damage to the demonic beasts. If they used them, the people of the Octavia Empire wouldnât be able to tell.
âThose people⊠what are they doing? Why would Dragon Knights Natasha and Lisha let the leader, a Holy Knight, mess around? Even Princess Irene and Princess Luce arenât saying anythingâŠâ
In the sky above the Ayden Plains, the flying Dragon Knights led by Crimson Knight Elise were currently hunting the flying demonic beast âRandy Giant Eagle.â Elise brandished a red knightâs pike and a red light shot through the group of flying Randy Giant Eagles.
Wherever the red light passed, the Randy Giant Eagles were killed within seconds. Before these three meter long Class C flying demonic beasts could fight back, they were killed by Elise. The other flying Dragon Knights were also killing Randy Giant Eagles.
âCaptain Elise, do you want to send someone to follow them? Their team has three princesses. If something happenedâŠâ
âNo need. They still have two Dragon Knights, so theyâre unlikely to be so passive. The Randy Giant Eagle King is out. Concentrate and get ready to move the team!â
The Randy Giant Eagle King with its wings fully extended was nearly eight meters in length. Its danger rating was a Class A demonic beast. With its flight attribute, most demonic beasts Class B and below on land were its prey.
While the Dragon Knights were besieging the Randy Giant Eagle King, the strongest knights on the ground, led by Styx Knight Stacey, were attacking a demonic beast group comprised of the Class A demonic beast, âDylan Monitor Lizardâ. Both the monitor lizard and the earth dragons belonged to the type of demonic beasts that were prone to rage. The two sides collided and tore at each other on the flat lands. It was a fiery battle.
If they wanted to talk about hunting Class A demonic beasts, the average adventurous mercenary group was unwilling to take up such a task because Class A demonic beasts were very dangerous. If the students werenât careful, they would be in danger of being killed. Now, the knights mainly relied on their numbers to crush the other side.
Knights had very good defense and they took turns to arrange head on attacks with the demonic beasts. As long as they had enough time, even the fierce Class A demonic beasts would die. However, this method wasnât applicable to demonic beasts of Class S and above. Class S demonic beasts had a higher level of intelligence. If they couldnât defeat their enemies, they would flee and were very cunning.
Moreover, the attacks of demonic beasts of Class S and above basically had special effects, such as paralysis and lethargy. The Knights had better not take on Class S demonic beasts if they didnât have the assistance of priests, mages and other auxiliary professions.
In the dense forest deep in the Ayden Plains, Bellaâs team was attacked by a Class S demonic beast, the Demonic Forest Bear King. When the Demonic Forest Bear King stood upright, it was nearly six meters tall, its whole body covered in black fur. It was a power type demonic beast and had thick skin. With one slap, it could immediately kill itâs relative demonic beast, the Earth Demonic Bear.
Along with it came more than a dozen Class A Forest Black Bears. They came out to hunt with the Demonic Forest Bear King. They had attacked Bellaâs knights because they looked like âsoftiesâ.
They had few people and were riding ordinary Warhorses. On top of that, their armor looked like imitation goods. After they had entered the deep forest, they had removed their cloaks. That exposed armor undoubtedly looked like imitation goods to demonic beasts with a little intelligence.
However, the Demonic Forest Bear King was now regretting. This team of female knights were experts on luring their opponents into a false sense of security. In the face of the Demonic Forest Bear King, Dragon Knight Natasha and Bella cooperated and focused their attacks on the Class S demonic beast.
Dragon Knight Natasha was responsible for attacking the rear. She stood behind the Demonic Forest Bear King to prevent the Class S demonic beast from suddenly turning around and running away. Holy Knights Irene and Luce were responsible for blocking the left and right sides of the Demonic Forest Bear King.
Thunder Knight Aurora and Dusk Knight Daphne were responsible for attacking. They wandered around the perimeter of the encirclement, looking for a favorable opportunity to attack the Demonic Forest Bear King. In the central position of the team, Holy Knight Princess Pamela was in charge of commanding the battlefield, directing the other female knights to launch attacks against the Demonic Forest Bears.
Angel, Mia and Noesha, who had auxiliary professions, were remotely supporting them beside Pamela. The teamâs current focus was on protecting Summoner Shirley. Betty, who was beside Shirley, was preparing potions on the spot.
Outside the entire battle zone, Angelâs summoned souls became a âghost wallâ, so the people outside couldnât enter this zone. From time to time, there would be transparent ghosts on the ground underneath the Demonic Forest Bears reaching out to grab the feet of the Demonic Forest Bears to restrict their movements.
Mia was flipping through the book of curses in front of her. The entire battle zone had been cursed by her. Once injured in this area, the blood flow wouldnât stop and they would bleed to death. The curse had little effect on the female knights because the enchanted armor they wore had self-healing abilities that wasnât in conflict with the curse.
The Demonic Forest Bearsâ attacks couldnât break through the magic armor of the female knights. The knights had a clear division of labor. The white rose knights were responsible for defending against the Demonic Forest Bearsâ attacks. Behind them, the red rose knights had swords or pikes to counterattack the Demonic Forest Bears in the interval between their attacks.
Once the Demonic Forest Bears were injured, they couldnât escape the fate of bleeding to death. From time to time, Demonic Forest Bears fell to the ground and died due to excessive blood loss. Even if their armor was clawed by the Demonic Forest Bears, the female knights who fought them would quickly and automatically heal.
Seeing that its party was being injured by the enemy, the Demonic Forest Bear King growled angrily, waving two huge bear claws and pounding on Lisha and Bellaâs huge shields. Under the great impact, Bella was almost pushed backwards.
Lishaâs fighting ability was much better than Bellaâs. She didnât move in the face of the all-out attack from the Demonic Forest Bear King, still standing in front of it. Taking advantage of the short pause in its attack, Dusk Knight Daphne and Thunder Knight Aurora launched their attacks.
The two womenâs Thunder Sword and Dusk Sword sliced the back of the Demonic Forest Bear Kingâs paws. Because of its thick skin, they coul only leave a scar on the Class S demonic beast from it being electrocuted by lightning magic. There were traces of dark magic erosion on the scar itself.
Bella also had a bit of a headache. Their attacks couldnât break the Class S demonic beastâs defense. Daphneâs and Auroraâs weapons were already famous swords yet they still couldnât break through the Demonic Forest Bearâs defense. This annoying bearâs skin was so thick it was almost unfair.
Miaâs curse wouldnât have the greatest effect without any bleeding. If only Kriss were here. Her sword would definitely break through the Demonic Forest Bear Kingâs defense.
While Bella and her teammates were still fighting against the Demonic Forest Bears, behind a big tree in the dense forest, a looming shadow was secretly watching their every move.
