Chapter 162: Dekan's Legend of the Fastest Clear |
“Marquis, let me ask you a question. Do you still have a sliver of hope in your heart right now?”
After cooling the coffin down.
Dekan, in a rare display of mercy, gave the Marquis a moment of rest.
He walked to the front of the coffin and asked Marquis Roderick a question.
“……”
Marquis Roderick made no sound.
Perhaps he felt that any communication was meaningless.
Or perhaps he really had no strength to speak.
“You are looking forward to your kin being able to rescue you, and then returning this torture to me a thousand, ten thousand times over.”
“You were so close, but unfortunately, you were stopped by High Priest Kevin, weren’t you?”
Dekan continued to ask.
“……”
The Marquis still did not reply.
“I can’t bear to extinguish this last sliver of hope of yours, Marquis.”
Dekan had a playful smile on his face, seemingly very sympathetic to the Marquis.
The Marquis only felt that Dekan was trying to scare him.
After all, it was impossible for Dekan to kill him.
He could torture him for a while, but not for a lifetime.
As long as he waited until the seal was lifted, he would take everything back.
“Hmph hmph, I just love to see the look on the faces of guys like you, who cling to a sliver of illusory hope as a spiritual pillar, when you realize the truth.”
As Dekan spoke, he placed his hand on the coffin and temporarily cut off the broadcast.
Then, he used the magic power in his body to stir the 【True Word Blood Pact】 he had made with Isabel at that time.
The soul imprint formed by the master-servant contract slowly appeared on Dekan’s hand like a curse mark.
“Marquis, do you recognize this spell?”
The moment Dekan’s voice fell, the Marquis' collapsing roar echoed through the church.
“No!!! Impossible!!! We clearly killed everyone who mastered this spell!!! It shouldn’t appear here!!!”
Marquis Roderick’s voice was filled with endless unwillingness and despair.
He would never mistake this forbidden magic created by the most evil wizards of humanity—【True Word Blood Pact】.
Specifically used to enslave high-ranking vampires who were difficult to kill.
This was an unforgettable nightmare for the entire vampire race.
“Marquis, you know now, don’t you? I’ve been playing with you all along.”
Dekan was very satisfied with Marquis Roderick’s reaction.
According to the records of the Holy Rite Church, it was precisely because a wizard had developed this spell back then that the entire vampire race came out in full force and fought a decisive battle with humanity.
Although humanity ultimately won a tragic victory, the vampires finally stopped only after slaughtering all the humans who had mastered this spell.
【True Word Blood Pact】 had since become a lost magic.
However, as the contract holder after 【True Word Blood Pact】 took effect, Dekan naturally made Marquis Roderick mistakenly believe that Dekan had mastered this spell.
Thus, he was completely bluffed by Dekan, not knowing that it was actually the result of a magic card.
“So, Marquis, I’ve been waiting for your kin to come and release you quickly. What you thought was hope, was actually the true beginning of your despair.”
“You’ve already been tortured by me to this extent. Even if the seal is lifted, can you lift your hand? And your true name, your race, your gender, I don’t need to say more, do I?”
The activation condition for 【True Word Blood Pact】 was that the enemy loses the will or ability to fight.
And the required declaration content, true name, race, and gender, were all already clear.
“Oh my, oh my, my future slave, I really can’t wait to have you.”
Dekan’s tone was full of delight, as if his acting had really taken off.
The persona of a priest always felt surprisingly compatible with all kinds of drama.
“You, what on earth are you…?!
Marquis Roderick could no longer maintain any composure. His words were filled with only terror and despair.
“……”
Dekan smiled without saying a word.
He had already cut off the broadcast and had fewer scruples.
He moved a little closer to the coffin, his pupils flickered, and gradually dyed with a layer of gold.
“This world is already doomed. We demons will eventually rule the entire Holy Kingdom, and you vampires will be slaves for all eternity.”
After saying this final-boss-like line with a voice full of demonic nature.
Dekan quickly reverted to his clear blue pupils, a faint smile on his lips, and returned to the state of a benevolent priest as he watched the coffin.
Waiting for Marquis Roderick’s reaction.
After a long while, Marquis Roderick finally spoke.
“You… you have finally made a comeback…”
His voice was weak, as if he had lost everything that supported him in his heart.
Although Dekan didn’t know much about the secret history of the Holy Kingdom in ancient times, Dekan probably knew how to connect with this drama.
Sometimes, as long as the mood was right, it was very easy to have a conversation across different contexts.
“What are you talking about? I’m just a priest of the Holy Rite Church. I don’t understand anything you’re saying.”
Dekan said with a smile.
“Hahaha, has the Holy Rite Church been corroded to this extent?”
Marquis Roderick actually laughed somewhat madly.
Although the two of them were not on the same page with their drama, they strangely matched very well.
“Hahahaha.”
Dekan also laughed along.
To act like a final boss at this time, this was probably how it was supposed to be.
Just laugh along with him.
“Don’t worry, after you become my slave, I will bestow upon you the best torture every day and every night.”
Dekan’s laughter stopped at the right moment, saying the cruelest words in the gentlest tone.
As if though he was wearing human skin, he was actually a demon whose ultimate pleasure was torturing other living beings.
“Hahahahaha.”
Marquis Roderick’s laughter gradually became shrill, with a hint of a sob.
“I never thought that after a hundred years, the final winner would be you!! Damn Holy Rite Church, you deserve it!!”
This seal, on the contrary, had become his protective umbrella.
Now that Marquis Roderick thought about it carefully.
The kinsman who had helped him undo the first layer of the seal earlier had very likely already been enslaved.
The motive for lifting the seal was just so that its master could enslave a stronger vampire.
Yet he foolishly held onto hope, thinking that he could sweep through the world once again.
I’m afraid that in this world, the vampires have long since become the slaves of demons…
From the moment 【True Word Blood Pact】 fell into the hands of demons, this world was basically finished.
There was no more redemption.
“Nameless great demon, I have lost, but I would rather die with the dignity of a vampire than live as your slave!”
Along with this sentence.
The sealed Marquis Roderick seemed to have triggered the only authority he could use in his sealed state.
He committed suicide.
