My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 20: Reinforcements for Academy's Predicament

"Disciple understands." The ten core disciples immediately transformed their versatile slime into their signature white-gold Apostles outfit.

At first glance, they looked like the variations of the high priest but in a flexible battlesuit-like outfit covered by a cloak.

"We can use mana and qi in this domain due to the talisman's protection, but don't expose our whereabouts too soon. Michael, please disguise yourself to resemble that evil ninja. You will go with me to the center of this chaos. We'll slay a Demon God from the upper realm." Ely declared her goal frankly.

The ten Apostles gasped as it sounded overbearing, but the one who said it was their almighty master! No evil things could stand before the Almighty Goddess disguised as the sacred shrine priestess. Their master could no longer pretend as a mortal because the current situation was so grave.

"Move into your positions as we use the Annihilation Star Formation. Please wait for further orders. Don't kill enemies, as that will speed up the summoning ritual. Let's go." Ely turned around and left.

"Obey!" The nine Apostles rushed away like a gust of wind, but Michael was left behind with his master.

He disguised himself as an evil ninja as his master had requested, but he still didn't know what his master would do.

She took out the sea stone handcuffs, then handcuffed herself. She then gave the rope to him as if she was his captive.

Michael stared at the rope in his hand with a stupified expression. "You want to lower their guard by coming as a captured captive, master?"

"You will see it." Ely left the rest to her disciple's imagination. Sometimes, she should explain only some things because it could cause a less impression.

At that time, the citizen, knights, and priests have already surrounded the Luponia Magic Academy. Cultivators from various sects were also there.

However, they could only leave once they dared enter the anti-magic domain. To have their power suppressed to the mortal realm was something they didn't want to experience. Not to mention, there were hundreds of demonic practitioners inside. It might be a death trap for them.

Among everyone in the crowd, several groups from various backgrounds felt more anxious than anyone else. They knew the holy saintess was inside the academy now.

They hoped to meet the holy saintess and build a bridge of good relations to the holy land. They had just arrived, but who would have thought some bastards would pull off this kind of event at this time.

"What's the situation inside? Can't we send reinforcements? Why are those knights and experts hesitating? If so, I will take the lead and charge inside! With my identity, they won't dare to refuse to enter." The imperial princess looked right and left restlessly.

"Wait, wait, seventh sister. Don't be hasty. We came anonymously, but it will immediately invite our siblings' attention if we reveal ourselves now." The imperial prince grabbed his sister's arm to prevent her from entering without plans.

"Are you saying we don't need to do anything, sixth brother? Stop talking and hurry up. Those chicken knights and cultivators can't be called experts if they can only watch in fear!" The seventh princess shouted loudly, then dragged her brother closer to the anti-magic domain.

"Hey, girl. Keep your mouth shut. You didn't know the threat lurking inside. Just so you know, Luponia Magic Academy has a Grand Master and a Saint. If they can't handle the threat of the terrorists, what can we do with our insignificant power?" A knight grumbled indignantly.

"A coward is a coward. Stop being a knight and crawl into the hole you came from. At least you realize that you are an insignificant thing. You all probably already know. The holy saintess is inside. If anything were to happen to her, would her holy land turn a blind eye?

Lumina City will suffer heavy losses when they demand accountability! See the sky of doom above your head. Those demonic cultivators will do something heinous and summon an even greater calamity. This city may soon be wiped off the map!

Cowards and chickens, please stand guard outside the domain. Brave warriors and heroes, please follow me to save the students and kill the demon cultivator terrorists! We'll make our own name!" The seventh princess raised her sword as she taunted everyone without the slightest bit of hesitation.

"Awaa, awawa..." The sixth prince turned pale. He bit his finger in panic. It was as if he was about to faint because his dear sister was more savage than a troublemaker.

The seventh princess waited for no one and dragged her brother into the anti-magic domain without delay. She couldn't use her qi because of the terrible sense of restriction, but she was confident in her martial arts and swordsmanship.

"What the-"

"That little lass dared to mock us."

"She's just ignorant, but what she says makes sense. The holy saintess will also have trouble in this kind of domain."

"Then, what are we afraid of? We are over a thousand, and the mages inside are about six hundred. If we join forces, we can suppress the demonic cultivators easily!"

"Let alone a hundred or two hundred, we can even slaughter four hundred demonic cultivators even if we can't use our qi."

"Yeah, are you even cultivating, bro? You refine your body to become stronger, yet afraid to challenge the harder difficulty. Let's rush in and slay the terrorists!"

"Ooh!"

The brave knights, warriors, cultivators, priests, and rogue mages entered the anti-magic domain as reinforcements to help Luponia Magic Academy escape their predicament.

The clash then occurred between the reinforcements and the demonic practitioners.

Guardian of Dream's members only became spectators from the shadows as they received orders to focus on handling the Demon God about to descend.

It had been a while since they met the sacred shrine priestess, their master, and savior. Moreover, they would witness her divine self in action soon. Thus, they didn't care about other problems as they were there to do what they had to do.

"Humph, you won't succeed, demon. I will kill you and stop your plans." The dean wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"That's what the old thing one step away from the grave would say. Your Saint-level secret protector can't even do anything. Just stay still and watch our almighty ancestor descend into this world." The Grand Master-level ninja spun his scythe arrogantly.

"..." The dean glanced at his granddaughter, then the great elder, covered in blood on the ground.

Hundreds of students had gathered in the middle of the demonic magic circle, and he had to save them immediately. However, the situation was still unfavorable even though he already could use magic, thanks to the talisman of resistance bestowed by the holy saintess.

"You demon, you will pay for it! I will not forgive you."

"I don't need that."

"Do you want to wage war with the Sacred Sakura Holy Land?"

"I am the war!"

"You are covered in countless sins and blood. Your crimes are unpardonable. Heaven will punish you."

"Sometimes, I think about murder."

The melodious voice of a pleasant young girl could be heard approaching from the main building. She argued with a ninja leader but was powerless under the sea stone handcuffs seal. The holy saintess had been caught!

"Yo, boss! I've caught the big pretty fish here." Michael raised his hand to the 6th Rank ninja, the most potent enemy he could find in the surroundings.

"Lady Miko!?" Lily-Mae was the first one to be surprised. She didn't expect the holy saintess to be caught after successfully breaking free.

"Hahaha! Good, good. You did something good at least once, little junior." The Grand Master-level ninja laughed out loud with satisfaction.

Ely and Michael kept getting closer to the primary magic circle in the middle of the training ground, but they stopped before setting foot there.

The Grand Master-level ninja then approached with his gale wind footsteps. He observed this stunning beauty up close and raised her chin so she would look into his face. "Truly a magnificent work of art. It is unsurprising if she is called a first-rate beauty with no equals. Her worth, beauty, status, and background cannot be compared with any princess. Especially these pair of captivating purplish-blue eyes. I want to gouge them out and make them into ornaments."

"Could you shut up? Your mouth stinks." Ely replied with a faint smile. She removed her sea stone handcuffs and immediately handcuffed this rude old ninja's wrist. Her movements were so natural and swift that no one noticed before the lock clicked perfectly.

*Clack*

"Hmm?" The Grand Master-level ninja looked at his wrist with an astonished expression. And then, he suddenly felt an intense pain in his groin. It felt like his balls cracked and his spirit hacked to pieces.

*Whamp!*

Ely kicked the old ninja in the groin with no mercy.

"Argh! Kill her and offer her corpse to our God!" The Grand Master-level ninja held his ground and fell to the ground.

"Hmph!" Ely stepped into the evil-looking black magic circle.

Her Mortal Field passive skill took effect, and the magic circle formation became unstable as the black magic power constituents around her were suddenly forced to the mortal level.

*Crumble* *Crumble* *Crumble*

The magic circles shattered like broken glass as she casually strolled around them.

The students and mages within the primary magic circle were stunned for a few seconds. The evil ninjas were all so shocked by what was going on.

Their years of hard work to set up the formation and turn this academy into the summoning ritual ground collapsed just because of this holy priestess' presence? And they dared to consider this walking disaster the primary sacrifice offering?

The moment Ely arrived at the central magic circle, she stamped her foot to the ground, and the entire formation shattered like thin, fragile glass.
