Chapter 262: Cornelia Has Also Never Disappointed Dekan |
“Ahhhh!!!”
Fahilir’s face became twisted and ferocious, his protruding eyeballs were filled with bloodshot veins as he roared hoarsely in extreme anger.
Because he had been brutally beaten by Dekan’s stand user, Bachel, Fahilir’s originally neat and gentlemanly attire was now tattered and torn, and his hair was as messy as weeds.
After being subjected to the ultimate insult and mental critical hit from Dekan and Cornelia, he now looked a bit like a circus member who had escaped from a madhouse.
But he was about to succeed in killing this Bachel, whose vitality was terrifyingly tenacious.
“You did that just now to torment Fahilir, right?”
Cornelia asked softly and suddenly, her head buried.
“Huh? Mm, of course.”
Dekan answered subconsciously.
Cornelia’s voice grew smaller and smaller as she asked.
“Of course, I’ve already prepared the【Captain De’erkan】Gray Demon Miss limited edition. The more Fahilir hates me, the more effective the taunt will be…”
Before Dekan could finish speaking.
His eyes widened.
He felt a fleeting coolness on his cheek, as if a feather had brushed across the softest part of his skin.
The red hair in his vision stirred a gentle breeze, accompanied by a faint, fresh scent and warmth.
Dekan stared blankly at Cornelia.
He saw Cornelia grinning slyly, then turning around to wave her arm triumphantly at Fahilir.
Instantly, a roar of an even higher decibel erupted from Fahilir’s side again.
It was as if not even a mute spell or a silencing barrier could block his fury.
…
“Wow! Cornelia is even braver than Dekan!!!”
“Do you two only know how to throw straight balls?!”
“Torment Fahilir a little bit more!!”
The excited shouts in Heavenlit Academy were no less than Fahilir’s roars.
It was as if a celebration mode, like the ringing of the New Year’s bells, had been instantly activated.
Dekan in the picture at this moment might not have realized what had happened.
But the audience in the real world all saw it.
Just now, Cornelia, like a little bird, had unexpectedly given Dekan a peck on the cheek.
The audience, who had originally been mostly sympathetic to the demons regarding Dekan’s tormenting behavior, were now all shouting for Fahilir to be tormented even more ruthlessly!
They realized that they had all guessed the wrong matchmaker.
They had thought Morion was the matchmaker, but they had not expected the real matchmaker to be Fahilir.
“Waaah!! My princess' maiden heart!!! I want an experience like this too!”
Iris excitedly shook Mi’e, shouting shrilly amidst the deafening cheers of the crowd, completely disregarding the decorum of a princess.
Mi’e’s expression was a bit speechless and helpless as she let Iris shake her.
“Then what type do you like? You at least need to have someone in mind.”
Mi’e retorted.
“I, I like that cold and cool type of knight!! He has to be able to protect me, and it’s okay if he’s a bit domineering! But he must be upright and kind, and he must be patient with me, he can’t bully me…”
Iris let go of Mi’e, her maiden heart feeling as if it was about to melt, her eyes sparkling as she fantasized.
“Uh… let me think if there’s anyone I know that I can introduce to you.”
Although Mi’e said this.
Mi’e thought about it and still shook her head.
It was too hard to find someone like that.
Firstly, a cold and cool knight, besides locking in the temperament, also meant he had to be handsome.
To protect Her Highness the Princess, such a heavy responsibility would probably require at least a Rank 8, as a Rank 7 would not be enough.
He had to be upright and kind, patient, and not bully the weak, pitiful, and helpless princess who looked like she was asking to be persecuted…
She should look for him in her dreams.
Wait.
“Hiss…”
Mi’e sucked in a cold breath, looking thoughtful.
“What’s wrong, Mi’e? Do you know someone like that!”
“No, no, absolutely not.”
Mi’e quickly waved her hands.
“Mi’e!! You must have thought of someone just now! Tell me quickly!!”
“Really not! Iris, you have to believe me!”
The two of them, for once, began to bicker joyfully.
…
The sixth level of the Demon Realm Prison.
Dekan now understood what had just happened.
“…?”
He just touched his cheek blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
This was the first time in Dekan’s life that he had truly crashed.
He realized.
He could strategize and calculate everything, but he could not predict Cornelia’s actions.
From the first moment he saw her.
Dekan knew that this person was his natural enemy.
Perhaps from that time, when he chose to accept Cornelia’s approach, Dekan had already lost.
Dekan quickly came back to his senses, looked at Fahilir who had almost been turned into Bachel number two, and smiled helplessly.
“Cornelia, you’re really quite bad.”
“Shouldn’t you praise me?”
Cornelia asked Dekan as if asking for credit.
“Well done!”
Dekan gave a thumbs-up.
Cornelia smiled proudly at Dekan.
Dekan looked at the battle situation on Fahilir’s side, and his expression became a bit more serious.
There was not much time left for them to chat idly. It was time for him to deal with Fahilir and end the conquest of the sixth level.
“After we return to the real world, there’s something I need to confess to you.”
Dekan placed his hands on Cornelia’s shoulders and said with a serious expression.
“Mm…”
Cornelia nodded.
Although she knew what Dekan was referring to.
She would wait for Dekan to say it himself.
“Then I’m going to fight Fahilir?”
“Mm, I’ll wait for you to finish your work and come back.”
After a simple farewell, Cornelia also ran towards the direction of the seventh-level portal where the Cat Teacher and the others were.
“Whew.”
Dekan exhaled, then straightened his appearance.
“Fahilir… Although I don’t know how to describe my current mood, or what my attitude towards you is, you’re definitely going to be out of luck today.”
Dekan muttered to himself as he walked towards the stasis pod that sealed Cloix.
Although the entire laboratory was in a mess due to the battle between Fahilir and Bachel, because the stasis pods were protected by barriers, not a single one had been broken so far.
From the moment Dekan was declared the winner of the duel, his bracelet had also given him a notification that he could choose to release an A-rank prisoner.
Dekan chose to release the Cloix before him.
Instantly, the barrier spell on the stasis pod faded, the pod opened, and Cloix, dressed in a special material prison uniform, fell out from within.
Dekan steadily caught Cloix and then placed Cloix’s arm over his shoulder.
After a few seconds, Cloix frowned slightly, then slowly opened his eyes.
“Where is this…?”
The light made Cloix’s eyes a little uncomfortable.
Apparently, unlike his other companions, he had been in a non-free, sleeping state ever since he entered the Shadow World.
However, when he noticed the person supporting him, his pupils contracted sharply, and he jumped away in fright.
But the moment Cloix got a clear look at this gray-haired, blue-eyed demon, he instantly understood it was Dekan!
Then Cloix looked towards the distance where the most commotion was.
He saw a demon mage fighting a life-or-death battle with a demon berserker.
PART 2
Fahilir was also in a blood rage at this moment, finally on the verge of completely killing Bachel.
Cloix looked at Dekan, then pointed towards Fahilir’s side with a somewhat puzzled expression.
Meaning: That guy is the enemy we have to fight now.
Dekan just spread his hands and nodded.
For some reason.
In this current situation, even without Dekan’s explanation.
Cloix knew how to fight.
The enemy was a low-health Rank 8 Forbidden Magic-User.
And his teammate was Dekan.
So which chapter was this now?
Cloix even suspected that he was not fully awake.
“No need for more explanations, right? My partner?”
Dekan patted Cloix on the back and asked.
“Mm.”
Thus, Dekan and Cloix joined forces once again.
And tormented the low-health Fahilir to death.
…
In the real world.
The audience in front of the screen became quiet again.
They witnessed the entire process of the cruel persecution of Fahilir by Dekan and Cloix.
The previously unsolved mystery of—
“How Dekan and Cloix killed the Corrupt Bishop Fahim.”
Now seemed to have been successfully revealed.
Although they were two completely unrelated battles.
Everyone felt.
The battle in the Shadow World was a reenactment of the time in the real world when Dekan and Cloix tortured and killed Fahim under the shadow barrier.
Although people would no longer comment much on Dekan’s reputation issue.
But, if Fahim had also been tortured to death like this back then, the audience actually felt a bit of satisfaction in their hearts.
The broadcast hall of Heavenlit Academy.
The Ice Snow Princess turned her head to look at Judith, who had become extremely quiet since just now.
Judith had her hands clasped together as if in prayer, but she was pursing her lips, and her eyes were shining like a young girl’s.
Her gaze remained fixed on Cloix.
Judith was completely unaware that her expression at this moment was exactly like that of a smitten young girl.
And in the distance, a female student wearing the Mage Academy uniform was looking at the screen with a complicated expression, then looked in Judith’s direction, and lowered her head sadly.
For some reason, the Ice Snow Princess quickly noticed this student.
She was Cloix’s childhood friend, Claire.
She had seen her several times before at the Happy Group.
Although the two had never spoken.
But for some reason, the Ice Snow Princess now felt that she understood that girl very well.
She even had the thought of wanting to go and talk to her.
But from her own standpoint.
She should support her good friend and teammate Judith no matter what.
What a dilemma.
The Ice Snow Princess turned her head back with a hint of sorrow in her brows, returning her focus to Judith.
However, when the Ice Snow Princess discovered that Judith had almost written her admiration all over her face.
“Ahem!”
The Ice Snow Princess quickly coughed lightly and nudged Judith with her elbow.
If Judith’s expression was seen by others.
They would quickly understand Judith’s thoughts!
There would definitely be a lot of gossip then!
Judith was startled back to her senses as if waking from a dream. She quickly realized her state just now, hurriedly glanced around, and said to the Ice Snow Princess with a bit of embarrassment:
“Sorry… I was too engrossed. It was as if I saw the scene of them defeating Fahim live…”
However, Judith looked closely at the Ice Snow Princess' face and asked with some surprise:
“Why is the tip of your nose a little red? Did you catch a cold?”
“No.”
The Ice Snow Princess turned her head to the side and denied it decisively.
However, as soon as the Ice Snow Princess turned her face to the other side, she saw the little reporter Ludwig sitting next to her.
This little reporter seemed a bit too familiar, having sat down next to the Ice Snow Princess at some unknown time.
The Ice Snow Princess instinctively felt that this little reporter was a type she could not handle.
She wanted to avoid the little reporter, but at this moment, there was no escape.
“Does your nose feel sour, and your chest hurts a lot?”
Ludwig asked the Ice Snow Princess with an innocent and concerned look in her eyes.
Ice Snow Princess: “!”
“I, I have a cold.”
The Ice Snow Princess answered with some embarrassment.
Seeing the Ice Snow Princess like this, Ludwig sighed.
“Look on the bright side. Compared to having a big advantage at the start and then throwing the game, something that was destined to be a loss from the beginning is easier to accept, isn't it?”
She patted the Ice Snow Princess' shoulder and comforted her in a heartfelt tone.
Ice Snow Princess: “???”
Ice Snow Princess: “Thanks a lot for that!”
The Ice Snow Princess, who had always been gentle-hearted, actually had the urge to kill someone for the first time.
…
Shadow World.
Dekan and Cloix had successfully dealt with the low-health Fahilir.
They even felt a bit bored.
As they fought, they even started chatting.
So Cloix also got a rough understanding of the situation so far.
At the entrance of the portal leading to the seventh level.
The four members and one cat of the Beautiful Mind Squad finally gathered for the first time.
But they did not look like they were having a strategy meeting.
“Morion, tell me what we should do, hmm?”
Dekan crossed his arms, a cold smile on his face, looking down at the man and cat before him with three parts coldness and seven parts contempt.
And Morion and the Cat Teacher were honestly performing a dogeza in front of him.
“I’m at your disposal.”
Morion actually had an expression of one who had heard the Dao in the morning and could die content in the evening.
He even closed his eyes and smiled with relief.
“?”
This made Dekan feel a little confused.
Had this profiteer lost his mind?
Why was he not scared at all?
Why was he even smiling?
How could I feel the thrill of successful revenge like this?
Combined with his previous bad experiences, Dekan could not help but start to suspect, could this guy Morion be a masochist too?
Dekan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and took two steps back in disgust.
“No way, Morion. That’s not your character setting, is it?”
Dekan thought about it and figured out that Morion was using a trick to deliberately disgust him.
“While you can still speak, if there’s anything you want to say, say it quickly.”
Dekan resumed his harsh attitude, sneered twice, and said.
“I admit I tricked you, there’s nothing to say. If you want to settle the score, then let’s do it. But before we head to the seventh level, there is indeed an important piece of information I need to tell you.”
Morion still looked fearless.
“It’s about the last challenger.”
