Chapter 266: Dekan Completely Cast Off the Shackles of Morality |
This time, the light on the Demon King tombstones flickered again.
But the frequency of the light was clearly a bit off.
Some Demon Kings seemed to have become extremely furious, while others were helpless.
However.
Among the remaining 32 Demon Kings, not a single one chose to recognize Dekan.
They even started to curse Dekan in their comments.
Dekan was not surprised by this; he just scanned his surroundings.
“Fine, you’re all amazing, you’re all so noble.”
Dekan seemed to still be angry.
Dekan had actually been angered by this group of Demon Kings to the point of losing some of his reason.
He did not even care how heinous the act of digging up graves was.
Heinous?
He was digging up the graves of Demon Kings…
Then it was fine.
It was an act of immeasurable merit.
“Namo Tomb Raider Bodhisattva, Buddha and I laugh together.”
Muttering this, Dekan once again shouldered the sledgehammer, which was the same model as Cornelia’s, and selected the grave of the one who had cursed him the most fiercely to start digging.
…
Karst’s eyes twitched.
He was already dumbfounded.
There was actually a jailer who tried to gain the recognition of the Demon Kings by threatening them?
Was he not afraid of death?
Even if he could clear the eighth level this way.
If he was ever caught by the current Demon King, what awaited him would definitely be death by a thousand cuts!
“Stop it! If you do this, once the Demon King returns, there will be no place for you in the Demon Realm!!”
Karst shouted.
“If I stop now, will the Demon King let me go?”
Dekan hammered down one blow after another and asked without turning his head.
Karst looked at the grave that had been dug up into a mess by Dekan, then at the black stone tablet that had been thrown on the ground like non-recyclable trash.
He was instantly speechless.
It seemed like you were on a path to certain death now anyway.
Then digging up one or two graves really made no difference.
Damn it!!
Karst covered his eyes; he now chose to not see and not be bothered.
The rules of this level were set by the successive generations of Demon Kings. Once he violated them, he would be suppressed and sealed by the Demon King’s magic. Only the current Demon King could change these rules when he arrived.
However, the successive generations of Demon Kings were all arrogant and unyielding.
From the rules they had set, one could see that they were definitely not the type to yield to the mere threat of having their graves dug up.
Even if Dekan dug them all up one by one.
Not a single Demon King would yield.
However, as long as a single Demon King did not support Dekan, even if Dekan dug up all the remaining 32 Demon King graves, his approval rating would only be 0%.
Unless there was truly at least one Demon King who recognized Dekan, and Dekan dug up all the other graves, only then could Dekan achieve his wish of a 100% approval rating.
Then he could indeed dominate the ownerless magical power of this level to a great extent.
Unfortunately, all of this was just Dekan’s fantasy.
Karst was not too worried about this happening.
Which of the successive Demon Kings was not Rank 9 or Rank 10?
How could experts of this level tolerate threats?
Under Karst’s gaze.
Dekan used the same old trick. After digging up the target grave, he used the 【Bandit Goblin】 to sever its soul imprint technique.
Afterward, Dekan ran to the entrance of the eighth-level portal.
Karst felt a bit strange, unable to figure out what Dekan was up to now.
More than ten minutes later.
Dekan returned.
He had used his shopping privileges to purchase some party props from the third level.
He had decorated the Demon King’s grave into a party scene.
From time to time, Dekan would pose for a photo with the dug-up Demon King’s grave, showing arrogant gestures and expressions to the audience in the real world.
Karst: “…”
His mentality was on the verge of collapsing.
He felt that the succubus before him was no longer a matter of being evil or not.
She was pure crazy!!
A demon’s way of thinking would simply not lead to doing such a thing!
However.
Before Karst could say anything.
He saw Dekan take out a bottle of champagne, shake it with gusto, and then spray it on the Demon King’s grave.
Afterward, Dekan took out a magical device that looked like a sound system, placed it on the Demon King’s grave, and turned it on.
Dekan raised the microphone.
Dancin♫~
Dancin is what to do♫~
Dancin is when I think of you♫~
Accompanied by the rhythmic and cheerful music, Dekan summoned several 【Captain De’erkans】 and began to dance with abandon on the Demon King’s grave.
Instantly.
The Demon King’s grave became like a scene of demons dancing wildly.
“What are you doing!!!”
Karst grabbed his face with both hands, pulling at his own skin, and shouted with an emotional breakdown.
What kind of utterly disrespectful scene was he witnessing!!
He was even worried that if the Demon King found out later, he would kill him too to silence him!
The Demon King’s tombstones began to flicker with an unusually intense light.
It was hard to judge what their emotions were.
But under the dazzling light flickering in this dim environment, the Demon King’s Mausoleum unexpectedly took on the feeling of a disco.
…
In the real world.
Many viewers were dumbfounded.
Although Dekan’s actions were no longer like those of a human.
They were not like those of a demon either.
For the creatures of this era.
He was too ahead of his time.
The most solemn, sacred, and inviolable place in the Demon Realm had been completely ruined by Dekan.
“Judith, should we leave quickly…”
The Ice Snow Princess instinctively shrank her head.
She felt the gazes of the people around her were a bit piercing.
Although they had done nothing wrong.
But their producer had a very serious problem.
Now they were just glad that Dekan had not played their new single while disco dancing on the grave.
At this moment, even Judith felt she could not take it anymore.
She was very worried that Dekan’s next song would be one of theirs.
The two of them lowered their heads and slipped away.
“I’ve never understood why in musicals they can always start dancing in the middle of acting, but now Dekan has interpreted a reasonable and logical development.”
“What kind of underworld opera is this…”
Even though the victims were the successive generations of Demon Kings, people still felt that this was too detrimental to one’s moral karma.
And Professor Anno was already holding his face in his hands, leaning back in his chair.
He could not imagine the report Dekan would submit this time.
The thought of having to sign his name on that report, which needed to be submitted to the Kingdom Federation, made him want to resign.
…
In the Demon King’s Mausoleum.
After one song, Dekan seemed to have finally had his fill of fun.
He finally let go of this Demon King’s grave and walked towards the altar with his demon bracelet.
Karst was already numb.
In just over ten minutes, what he had firmly believed in had begun to waver.
He was now really not sure if there would be a Demon King who, unable to bear the humiliation, would choose to recognize Dekan.
