Chapter 83. Dekan’s Card for Dramatic Effect

Although most people wouldn't deliberately hypnotize themselves before entering a Shadow World.

But Dekan wanted to try and see if it was possible to snatch the identity of a Rebellious Challenger.

He always liked to be fully prepared in some strange areas.

This often brought unexpected surprises to his enemies.

Like this time.

He figured there was no harm in trying anyway.

So before entering the Shadow World, he kept hypnotizing himself: I am the destroyer of worlds, I am the messenger of the end…

Who knew that this time he would happen to encounter a confrontational Shadow World.

As expected, he was judged by the Shadow World to be someone who wanted to bring disaster to the world.

He obtained the qualification to become a Rebellious Challenger.

Coupled with his Partners in Crime trait—having a greater probability of obtaining an evil faction identity.

Just like that, Dekan forcibly snatched the witch identity that should have belonged to the twin sister at the very beginning.

It was like locking in the victory before the game had even started.

Dekan shook his head with a smile and stepped back.

So Cornelia continued to smash the door.

With every strike of the hammer, the sister’s screams grew louder.

Hammer strike after hammer strike, the door was gradually about to be broken open before the sister’s terrified eyes.

The sister’s helpless appearance was just like that of a lost lamb.

Her face was stained with tears, as if she had lost her last shred of hope, her complexion so pale it was bloodless.

“You! You will die with me! Hahaha!”

The sister seemed to have made a final decision, screaming as she cast a light magic spell that pierced through her own chest.

If she were caught by these two, it wouldn't be a matter of a simple death.

It was better to sacrifice herself, summon the vampire, and let the vampire kill these two!

They would have no chance to escape back to the rooms on the second floor!

Her life force then rapidly dissipated, her hands went limp on the ground, and her pupils dimmed.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, but her expression was one of relief.

The moment the Healer Older Sister died, Dekan felt a terrifying surge of magical power, as if the entire mansion was trembling.

The death toll had reached 6.

The most terrifying existence hidden in the old mansion was finally about to be revived.

“Sigh, then let’s fast forward to the final boss. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can clock out.”

Dekan sighed, summoned the Ruined Poet, and ordered it to approach the living room, but not to enter it.

Dekan hadn't bothered to try using Mental Interference to stop the sister from committing suicide just now.

Even if he could control her for a moment, Cornelia might not have had time to rush in and restrain her.

Moreover, trying to capture this 4th-rank healer who was determined to die might have even resulted in Cornelia getting injured.

It wasn't necessary.

Anyway, Dekan had already set a trap for the vampire.

It didn't matter when it was released.

They had already placed the Assassin Younger Sister’s body next to the hexagram array.

And the Assassin Younger Sister’s body was covered in blood laced with a colorless and odorless poison.

Dekan was an old hunter.

When the time came, as long as the vampire drank this blood, it would become Dekan and Cornelia’s plaything.

Of course, to ensure the vampire would definitely take the bait, another card was needed.

Dekan calmly took out a spell card.

In the three weeks before setting out, he had developed a total of three new cards.

The first was the new 【Toxic Ground Spikes 3.1】, created together with Mi’e.

The second was the 【Solar Flare】 he had long wanted to make during the 3rd-rank card maker exam.

The third was a mental-type spell card created using the latest techniques taught to him by Shijiang, combined with his own improvements.

【Three Corpses Berserk】

【Category: Spell Card】

【Grade: Purple Rare】

【Rank: 3】

【Effect: Causes the desires of all individuals within a range to surge wildly. The size of the range determines the mana consumption.】

【Note: Priest Dekan’s first 3rd-rank mental-type magic! An experimental work, an advanced version is still under development!】

This card could amplify the desires in the enemy’s heart.

For example, Viscount Augustine, who had just been released from a seal of many years, must have an incomparable craving for fresh blood.

When this desire was amplified, he would be unable to control himself and would lose his reason, driven to suck the Assassin Younger Sister’s blood.

This would ensure that Dekan and Cornelia wouldn't have to work much overtime later.

Otherwise, a 6th-rank vampire would still be a tiny bit difficult to fight.

“Why is Dekan’s new card a magic type that demons prefer to use again… It’s not very useful in a typical frontal battle, but when it comes to bewitching and inducing… it’s too terrifying.”

Whenever the Alchemy Academy students saw Dekan produce a new card, they would always start a series of discussions.

“For example, succubi would definitely love to use this kind of card…”

“Anyway, how effective this kind of card is depends entirely on the user.”

“It’s a pity that the demon race is almost extinct in this world. There are only some ancient demon cards left, right?”

“Come to think of it, the cards Dekan makes all seem to have a style that leans towards demon cards. He couldn’t really be a demon, could he?”

Although they had this doubt, they felt it was impossible.

After all, the entrance test clearly identified Dekan’s race as human.

Even when the Card Makers’ Association conducted another test on him later, the result was the same.

…

If used properly, the card 【Three Corpses Berserk】 had an extremely high ceiling.

But it had a serious side effect.

That was, it ignored friend or foe; everyone would be affected together.

So when using this spell card, Dekan had to ensure that he had no strong desires in his heart.

Otherwise, it could seriously mess things up.

At this moment, he emptied his mind, silently recited Buddhist scriptures, and thought of nothing.

To avoid having any desire amplified.

“Meow!”

However, even though the Cat Teacher had been instructed by Dekan, it still couldn’t help but jump out of Dekan’s shadow.

“Dekan! Hand over your secret stash of money to me now, meow!”

“I want to eat delicious food, meow!”

“I also want a handsome male cat, to meow meow meow with it! Dekan! Make one appear for me!”

The Cat Teacher had completely gone mad. It jumped onto Dekan’s shoulder and rubbed its face against his.

“…”

Seeing the Cat Teacher’s reaction, even Dekan started to feel a little scared.

I treat you as a pet, yet you want to…

It seemed the power of this card was greater than he had imagined.

Dekan quickly looked at Cornelia.

Although Cornelia seemed normal at first, her body gradually began to tremble.

She seemed to finally lose control, whipping her head around and staring intently at the Cat Teacher. The look in her eyes instantly made the Cat Teacher’s fur stand on end.

“Meow! Help!”

It instinctively jumped down and started to flee, already scared sober.

“Let me hug you!”

And Cornelia, disregarding everything, pounced towards the Cat Teacher.

It seemed that even if she had to use force, she was determined to hold it.

“You two, stop! If you run into me, I’ll die on the spot!”

“You damn cat! Get away from me! Don’t run around me!”

“Cornelia, calm down first! When we get back to school, I’ll ask Little Gray to keep you company!”
