Chapter 272: Dekan’s Demon King Experience Card |
Dekan felt that he was now undoubtedly a "Carlos-ologist."
Even in the real world.
Dekan could say with great responsibility.
Right now, no one in the world understood the Falsehood Bishop Carlos better than he did.
Even if Carlos himself came, Dekan would not concede.
Carlos was just a bishop. What the hell did he know about Carlos!
Only Dekan could be called Carlos' soulmate!
He now even suspected that he could handle Carlos with just verbal therapy.
Dekan smiled and shook his head.
“Alright, it’s time for you to go.”
Dekan sighed.
In fact, he did not have much killing intent towards Karst, a demon who did not have strong malicious intent and had not angered him much.
It was purely for the rewards of the Shadow World.
Such a big monster, if he could kill it, he definitely would. Who knew, it might drop a card of the same type as the Falsehood Bishop's.
Seeing that Dekan had already raised his hand, preparing to kill him, Karst was not too panicked. He just said:
“Please tell me the answer.”
As Dekan sealed Karst with the Demon King's magic, he said:
“I suppose it’s hard for you to understand. To me, this timeline is just a projection of history.”
“I am indeed not one of the 33 previous Demon Kings, nor am I the 34th current Demon King.”
“What is within me is the future Demon King, after the 34th generation.”
As Dekan's last words fell, the Demon King's magic completely sealed Karst.
Then, it obliterated him.
“Whew, I’m finally about to clear this.”
After a series of high-intensity challenges, Dekan had finally found all his companions and cleared all the prerequisite stages. Only one big BOSS remained.
Of course, besides rescuing his teammates, the mission objective, the Saintess of Darkness, was also waiting for him to rescue on this level.
But now, with the eighth level's limited Demon King magic control, Dekan could easily lift the sealing effect on any target.
…
Dekan returned to the entrance of the eighth level.
Controlling the Demon King's magic, he released all his companions.
And he turned the live broadcast back on.
The group, who had become like statues, instantly regained their freedom.
“Huh? This magic? You turned it on?”
“Are there a few more victims on this level?”
“You must have done a lot of unethical things, meow!”
The members of the Beautiful Mind Squad were already used to Dekan. No matter what Dekan became, they did not find it too strange.
Even though the intensity of the magic on Dekan at this moment was comparable to that of a Rank 9.
Only Clay, after sensing Dekan's aura, instinctively became alert as if facing a great enemy.
Although he could roughly sense that the person before him was the little succubus jailer teammate.
But this earth-shattering change made it impossible for Clay to comprehend.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’s a Rank 9 experience card. It’ll be gone once we go to the next level.”
Dekan patted Clay on the shoulder and said.
“Your ability now is not ordinary even among Rank 9s.”
What Clay was wary of was not Dekan's current stats, which were comparable to a Rank 9.
But the authority of the Demon King's Mausoleum that Dekan had mastered.
As long as they were on this level, with Dekan controlling this Demon King magic, it would be very difficult for even other Rank 9s to do anything to Dekan.
If they could bring the Chief Warden to the eighth level, Dekan would probably be able to suppress her with a backhand.
Unfortunately, they could not go up in this prison.
They still had to honestly face the BOSS.
As Dekan briefly explained the situation on the eighth level to them, he led them towards the depths of the Demon King's Mausoleum.
“The only remaining objectives are to rescue the Saintess of Darkness, then take her past the Chief Warden's level, and finally escape the Demon Realm according to the route Artis gave me, and we will have succeeded.”
The mausoleum on this level was very large.
Dekan had not crossed the Demon King's Mausoleum earlier. Instead, he prioritized turning back to rescue his teammates and then taking them to the target direction together.
If there were no accidents, the Saintess of Darkness would be behind the Demon King's Mausoleum.
There would also be a portal to the final destination of the Demon Realm Prison nearby.
In fact, the entire conquest process was much smoother than expected.
The only big loophole was the trouble caused by Clay.
Because he had forcefully killed the Warden, a key piece of information about the Chief Warden was now missing.
As a result, relying only on the few fragmented clues from before, Dekan simply could not deduce what the Chief Warden's weakness was.
Since things had come to this, he could only rely on his own cleverness to make up for it.
No matter what the Chief Warden's weakness was.
Dekan was confident that he could bring her an operation that would make her see black.
Thinking on the bright side.
If they rescued the Saintess of Darkness first, they might still be able to get some more information.
And she might even be a powerful ally.
Since the Saintess of Darkness was called a person who could change the tide of battle in the opening introduction of the Shadow World.
Then she herself must also possess unparalleled talent.
According to the team's configuration, even in a frontal battle, they could still exchange a few blows with the Chief Warden.
Dekan felt that things were looking up again.
Soon, at the end of the Demon King's Mausoleum, the group saw the sealed Saintess of Darkness.
She was clearly given great importance. Even though she was already sealed by the Demon King's magic, she was still placed in a position with an additional protective barrier.
Even other jailers who had cleared the eighth level could not use the blessing of the Demon King's magic to destroy the barrier and rescue or kill the Saintess of Darkness.
But Dekan was different.
He was a cheater now.
He easily broke the barrier and moved the statue-like Saintess of Darkness out.
“Is this the Saintess of Darkness we’re looking for?”
“It should be. There are no other prisoners on this level.”
This legendary Saintess of Darkness was not much different from what they had imagined.
She was a beauty with extremely delicate features. Sealed, she was like the most outstanding work of art personally carved by the creator.
Dekan once again controlled the Demon King's magic and undid her seal.
As the seal faded, the Saintess of Darkness' fair skin and silky smooth black hair were finally revealed to everyone.
However.
The Saintess of Darkness, who had been sealed for several years, seemed unable to even stand steadily and tilted forward.
Cornelia quickly supported her.
“Are, are you alright?”
The Saintess of Darkness' weak state made Cornelia a little nervous, afraid that she would shatter her with a touch.
“…”
The Saintess of Darkness lowered her head, seemingly pondering why she could be released from this seal.
Had the day finally come when the Demon King would personally interrogate her?
But the Demon King must also be well aware.
She and the demons had a sworn enmity.
She had an incomparable hatred for all demons and was willing to pay any price to annihilate them.
No matter how he tortured her, she would never compromise with the Demon King and would only try every means to commit suicide.
So the Demon King had temporarily sealed her here.
But at this moment, for some reason, the Demon King she knew so well did not seem to have come?
Could it be that the humans had won and were finally going to rescue her?
The Saintess of Darkness was full of anticipation. She used all her strength and slowly and painstakingly raised her head.
However.
She saw Dekan.
