Chapter 269: Dekan the Talented Actor |
Karst could not understand this sudden change no matter what.
But with his years of experience staying in the Demon King’s Mausoleum, he quickly confirmed one thing.
This little succubus had obtained the recognition of a certain Demon King and could begin to control the Demon King’s magic, which was why she had become several times stronger in an instant!
But Karst could not understand.
How did Dekan contact any of the Demon Kings in the Demon King’s Mausoleum while being in the isolated illusionary space?!
However, just as Karst was shocked and pondering.
Dekan seemed to have discovered Karst and looked at him disdainfully from the side.
Slowly raising his eyes.
“Continue? To imprison me.”
The gaze that seemed to be able to pierce through Karst’s soul from a distance made him feel an instinctive fear!
It was a kind of absolute pressure from a superior!
And what could bring him this kind of pressure.
He was all too familiar with it.
Only a Demon King!
Although the appearance of the little succubus in the illusion was the same as before.
But Karst could be sure that this demon was now absolutely another kind of existence.
As if she had been possessed!
And the one who possessed her…
Karst thought of an answer, but did not dare to say it out loud.
“You! No, Your Majesty is?!”
He could only tremble and ask.
“Hehe, you already have the answer in your heart, don’t you? You derelict tomb-keeping demon, what were you doing when my tombstone was destroyed by him?”
Dekan’s voice became colder and colder, but within it was a crazy anger that was about to be unleashed.
Then Dekan swept his gaze around again, and his eyes seemed to become even more dissatisfied.
Karst was already sweating profusely with fear and dispelled the illusion that had trapped Dekan at the fastest speed.
This illusion did not have much reason to exist anymore.
And being certain that the will before him belonged to the Demon King, Karst did not dare to continue to offend the Demon King.
Although he did not know the specific principle of the Demon King’s soul returning.
But now there was only one answer.
When Dekan was humiliating the Demon King’s tombstone earlier, he had excessive contact with the Demon King’s tombstone.
What this jailer did not expect was that this Demon King’s tombstone not only contained the Demon King’s will but also sealed a fragment of his soul.
And this fragment of the Demon King’s soul mastered some unknown techniques.
So this Demon King found an opportunity and possessed this jailer’s body.
This must also be the reason why Dekan in the illusion could suddenly obtain the recognition of the Demon King and receive the blessing of the Demon King’s magic!
Judging from the degree of blessing Dekan received.
This Demon King’s mark seemed not to have been washed away by time for too long, and this Demon King himself must have been extremely powerful in his lifetime to be able to leave such a trick behind and give this body such a powerful blessing.
Karst wanted to ask which of the two who had their graves dug up just now this vengeful Demon King was.
But he did not dare to ask.
If he offended him like this, he would most likely be finished.
Even if the resurrected Demon King before him was using the jailer’s blessed body, he had only temporarily reached the level of Rank 7.
But if the one controlling the body was the Demon King himself, it was uncertain how many other Demon Kings’ support he could obtain!
It was very likely that he only needed to touch the altar to get the help of all the other past Demon Kings, and then they would give him more of the Demon King’s magic blessing to kill this derelict Warden!
Dekan seemed to have seen through Karst’s worries.
With a hint of ridicule on his lips, he said coldly to Karst:
“Although you deserve to die, you are still useful. As long as you assist me, you can atone for your crimes.”
He just stood there, with no intention of going to touch the altar to obtain more power.
“Please speak, Your Majesty.”
Karst said in a deep voice.
On this level, he could not take the initiative to attack a jailer in the first place. Even if he really did act now and trap this Demon King who had possessed the jailer, when his magic power could not hold out, the angry Demon King would surely give him the most cruel punishment.
Taking advantage of the fact that there seemed to be a turn of events now, obeying this Demon King was undoubtedly the only optimal solution at present.
…
Dekan nodded.
Very good, this bastard was fooled.
He did not dare to go to the altar to seek the help of the past Demon Kings.
Because Shijiang was not a Demon King who existed in this mausoleum according to the rules, nor was she a Demon King known to any of the Demon Kings in this mausoleum.
In the eyes of the other Demon Kings, although Dekan possessed all the characteristics of a Demon King at this moment.
He was just a fake from who knows where.
Once he touched the altar, not only would he not get any power, but the fact that Dekan was a “fake Demon King” would very likely be exposed.
At that time, even if Karst still could not attack him.
But he would try every means to obstruct him with troublesome illusions and interfere with him.
Dekan did not want to be trapped in the void space by Karst again and waste half a day for nothing.
Now, there was only one thing Dekan needed to do.
He had to find a way to dig up all the Demon King tombstones in this mausoleum before Karst discovered the truth.
At that time, this council-style Demon King’s Mausoleum would be left with only Shijiang, the one and only “fake council member.”
And it would become a true dictatorship!
He would be able to completely control the Demon King’s magic of this level.
So Dekan’s plan.
Was to act as a “vengeful Demon King who had temporarily possessed a jailer.”
And then ruthlessly fool Karst!
Dekan looked at Karst’s terrified appearance and shook his head with indifference.
“Karst, you should know what having my grave dug up means to me, right?”
Under Dekan’s gaze, Karst felt incomparable torment.
He could neither answer this question nor not answer it.
His lips trembled but he did not dare to speak the answer.
Because whatever he said would be an offense.
The Demon King whose grave was dug up was really too miserable!
What reputation was there to maintain in the future!
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer, but please think about it. If you were me, what could you do now to not become one of the only two jokes among the past Demon Kings?”
Dekan continued to scrutinize Karst and asked.
“…”
Karst could not think of a way. The Demon King whose grave was dug up could no longer redeem his reputation.
You have already become a joke among the Demon Kings.
Karst thought to himself.
Wait.
Carefully savoring the way Dekan had phrased his words just now.
It seemed like there really was a way?
The key seemed not to be “joke,” but “one of the only two”?
As long as everyone became a joke, then relatively speaking, the two Demon Kings whose graves were dug up just now would not be so miserable?
“You, you don’t mean to…?!”
Karst looked at Dekan’s expression, which had “a promising student” written all over it, and could not help but take two steps back in fright.
This Demon King before him was thinking of something extremely dangerous!
And, he wanted to drag him into it too!
