Dimensional Codex System I m really not a cultist

“Of course, I scanned the energy fluctuations of those fragments and checked some of them, I remember if combined they should look like…”

As she spoke, Nymph reached out and traced in the empty air, and soon a sinister demon appeared before everyone. It looked like a hybrid of a human and a venomous snake, with a long snake tail for its lower half, while the upper half resembled a humanoid form. Its head was that of a female human, but it bore three eyes on its face. Compared to that, the six arms spread out to either side of its body were less notable.

“It’s roughly like this.”

After effortlessly constructing the demon’s image, Nymph returned to Fang Zheng’s side. At this moment, both the old man and Shi Dong were gazing solemnly at the figure.

“Is this… a Six-Armed Snake Demon?”

“This is not just a Six-Armed Snake Demon.”

As compared to Shi Dong, the old man’s expression had become even more grave.

“Do you see the third eye in the center of her forehead? Among those demons, there is only one cursed being with such a mark, and that is Three-Eyed Bella!”

“Are you saying, the subordinate of Bob? The Bella known as the most cunning Six-Armed Serpent Lord in history?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Dong’s face showed a look of shock, not just him, but also the other Pegasus Knights beside him appeared greatly unsettled after hearing this news.

The destruction of Samer and the onset of the Dark Age were, of course, caused by the Demon King of Hell, Bob; but after all, a Demon King is a Demon King. Destroying worlds is a task where he merely needs to shout slogans, the rest naturally falls to his subordinates.

And Bella was the most fearsome among them.

According to human records, when Bella crossed the Gates of Hell into the Main World, she was just a captain of the Royal Guard under Bob. Yet soon, Bella gained the Demon King’s attention with her “outstanding” performance. She personally led an army that orchestrated the massacre targeting the Kadra Kingdom—known in historical records for its assault on Samer.

She introduced Hell Serpent Eggs into the underground sources and wells of Kadra, and the Kadra residents who drank this water gradually became weak. Yet, most of them paid it no mind, thinking it was merely due to the continuous rainy season making them unwell. Only a few realized something seemed amiss, but before they could ascertain what had happened, disaster struck.

On the last rainy night of the monsoon season, the serpent eggs that had absorbed enough strength began to hatch. Hell vipers broke through people’s stomachs, burrowing out of their corpses. They voraciously consumed the human flesh and gradually grew stronger. Kadra was almost overnight turned into a bloody and horrifying slaughterhouse, with bodies everywhere and madly writhing vipers that plunged many cities into a sea of snakes!

This scene naturally caught the attention of the Sanctuary, but unfortunately, at that time, the Sanctuary itself was facing an assault from the Devil Legion and could not afford to look after other nations. Having now acquired enough “subordinates,” Bella completely swept through the entire Kadra Kingdom, turning it into a realm of death.

Bella’s “meritorious deeds” naturally attracted the attention of Demon King Bob. Her position was elevated from a Royal Guard captain to Legion Commander, and Bella seized this opportunity to assimilate a Six-Armed Snake Demon Legion that had come through the Gates of Hell. After a series of wars, she became a Six-Armed Serpent Lord.

She was cunning, deceitful, deceitful, and cruel. To achieve her goals, she would stop at nothing, yet she was also fiercely loyal to Demon King Bob. The common people who perished at her hands were countless, and the heroes who went to subdue her all died without a place for burial. So much so that it was believed on the continent at that time that no one could kill her.

But in the end, this Six-Armed Snake Demon died in a way that no one had anticipated—three heroes disguised themselves as The Fallen and infiltrated Samer. They directed the Goddess’s power to attack and destroy the Gates of Hell and in the process, sent Bob back to the Abyss. And Bella, as Bob’s most loyal subordinate, naturally did not escape this fate.

It is rather ironic that even after Bella had not appeared since then, the allied forces never let their guard down, even though they knew that Bob had been cast back into the Abyss. Because this Six-Armed Snake Demon was too cunning and too cruel, so much so that even after the allied forces had completely eradicated all of the Demon King’s legions from the Main World, many still worried whether Bella had feigned death to escape or hid somewhere, biding her time for a resurgence.

This concern persisted for a full fifty years. In the end, as time passed, people gradually forgot about that period.

But now, looking at the phantom before them, everyone seemed to recall once again the fear dominated by the Six-Armed Snake Demon and the humiliation of being played with in its grasp…

It now seems that Bella had indeed died back then, but these cultists are trying to resurrect this terrifying legend!

“We must stop them! No matter what these cultists intend to do, since it’s related to Bella, we have to foil their plans! Even the Demon King Bob is not as terrifying as this accursed Six-Armed Snake Demon!”

Shi Dong clenched his fists, his expression serious, and the old man nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, we must take action… but relying solely on these people is not enough, we need reinforcements! Not to mention, those people have also obtained the key! No one knows what they’re capable of!”

“The key?”

At this, Fang Zheng paused, puzzled.

“What key?”

“You don’t know yet, huh.”

Facing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, Shi Dong huffed discontentedly.

“The mage named Charles that you captured is the Watcher of the Tower of Heaven stationed here. He possessed an amethyst ring that can temporarily open the seal here!”

“What?”

Fang Zheng was startled upon hearing this.

“Such an important item, and you entrusted it to a novice? Didn’t you vet your people before sending them?”

“Who knows what’s going through the minds of those mages from the Tower of Heaven! Every single one of them doesn’t take this seriously! It seems like all that book learning has made their brains crooked!”

Shi Dong was now also angrily clenching his fist and waving it, clearly quite dissatisfied with the mages of the Tower of Heaven. As he spoke, he turned to a Pegasus Knight nearby.

“You must return to the Sanctuary immediately and inform the Bishopric that these cultists are engaged in activities related to the Six-Armed Snake Demon Bella in the Land of the Fallen, their numbers are vast, and the current situation is unclear, request immediate reinforcement! Everyone else, remain on high alert!”

“Yes, sir!”

Hearing the elder’s orders, the Pegasus Knight hastily saluted and then rode off, quickly ascending into the sky and vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, the other Pegasus Knights also led their Pegasi to conceal themselves on the other side of the hill, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

That’s more like it.

Watching the scene unfold before him, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The intelligence of this Sanctuary seemed to be on point—seeking reinforcements when confronted with a problem. He had been worried that these people would decide to charge in directly. After all, according to Nymph’s report, in addition to the cultists, there were all sorts of little demons there, adding up to a force of over a hundred. Even if his side could fight ten times their number, it would still be a tough battle… In any case, Fang Zheng was none too keen on the sort of hero tales where the hero turns the tables from a disadvantageous position.

A resource unused is a resource wasted.

“Nymph.”

With that thought, Fang Zheng then gave an order to Nymph.

“Continue to monitor those cultists and report back on their activities at all times. If those guys make any suspicious moves, notify me immediately, understand?”

“Yes, Master.”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s order, Nymph quickly nodded and took a nervous glance at the others. Then she immediately entered a state of invisibility and flew up into the sky, vanishing from sight.

“I never imagined that you could even get an angel to work for you.”

Admiring the angel disappearing before his eyes, Shi Dong couldn’t help but marvel, then he turned to Fang Zheng, shaking his head.

“Although I’ve known you were… But this is just too…”

Perhaps because there were other people around, Shi Dong didn’t articulate his point very clearly, but Fang Zheng understood that he was referring to his Holy Spirit Protection… Speaking of which, Fang Zheng had forgotten that Shi Dong had always taken it for granted that he was under the protection of a guardian angel.

Ah, that’s right!

Suddenly, it dawned on Fang Zheng.

“Teacher, should we take action now?”

“No, not for the time being. Since you’ve already sent your Guardian Angel to scout, we’d better be cautious. Anything related to Bella deserves utmost care, so no need to do anything for now… What’s wrong?”

*Sigh*…

Relieved by Shi Dong’s reply, Fang Zheng looked at Shi Dong earnestly.

“If that’s the case, there is something I’d like to ask you about.”
