121 Dekan’s Game of Hide and Seek
Suddenly, Dekan’s expression turned icy.
In the distance, a violent and ferocious aura emerged.
This aura was filled with a formidable sense of oppression, surpassing any enemy Dekan had ever encountered!
Even the final boss of the Demon Academy, the demon Olive, did not possess the terrifying aura that exuded from Isabel.
What was worse, Isabel could use magic cards.
And Isabel’s magic cards were certainly well-suited to counter him.
She might nullify a majority of Dekan’s cards and even have cards that Dekan could not counter.
At this moment, if Dekan wanted to win, he would likely have to pull out some cards that Isabel had never seen before.
Unfortunately, he had already used basically all the first and second-ranked cards he had previously created.
What remained that had not been played were almost all of the same type of cards used to complement tactics.
For instance, cards like “Busan Sound Barrier” were crafted to prevent “My Silence Spell” from being easily purified.
He also had not had the chance to create new third-tier cards.
So this time, if he wanted to win, he would have to rely on his old cards.
However.
Dekan’s way of winning had always been to strike decisively.
His opponent could only make one mistake.
If they lacked enough imagination to guess Dekan’s thought process, sometimes there wouldn’t even be an opportunity for a mistake.
For example, right now, Dekan had long since prepared for hide and seek…
Isabel, wielding a dagger, surged forward from a distance, quickly closing the gap between her and Chloix.
Of the three people present capable of action, Isabel was undoubtedly the strongest.
Although Chloix was not far behind her in rank.
But Chloix was still fragile; once she closed in, she would be able to easily kill him.
Dekan, needless to say, would shatter upon contact.
Aside from life-saving and purification cards, all the magic cards that Isabel carried were counter-strategy cards.
After all, this time, Isabel’s primary target was the Ice Snow Princess, followed by Dekan.
One was pure magical, the other mixed martial.
Thus, the magic cards on Isabel were highly targeted towards spells.
If a practitioner focused on close combat wanted to counter a mage, this was undoubtedly the best card selection.
Focusing on nullifying both the spells the mage possessed and the magic cards they had.
Finding an opportunity to close in and then unleashing physical prowess.
And then a lethal combo that could even kill in an instant.
Leaving no escape route.
Additionally.
Even though Isabel could not completely target the high-tier Ice Snow Princess.
She could certainly target the lower-tier Dekan to death.
The tier was Dekan’s Achilles’ heel.
Many cards with strong counter-effects had restrictions like “effective against tiers and below.”
The high-tier Isabel could freely utilize powerful targeting cards effective against third-tier and below to counter Dekan.
Her cards included types capable of targeting low-tier spells to death, such as “Super Purification,” “Spell Counter,” and “Magic Card Disable.”
Even possessing nonsensical epic cards that could “force-capture low-tier targets at any time!”
As long as she wanted, she could seal Dekan at any moment and connect it with “True Word Blood Pact” to enslave him!
Dekan, exposed in the open, appeared as weak and pitiful as a baby before Isabel.
“Buzz!”
It felt as if a strong wind was howling, creating a buzzing sound.
As Isabel launched her ambush, Dekan and Chloix also responded.
Without hesitation, Chloix activated wind magic, using a violent gale to blow both himself and Dekan backward.
On the ice surface, Chloix quickly darted toward the Ice Snow Princess.
At the same time, Dekan was blown off in another direction.
Isabel was somewhat surprised to see that they dared to split their actions.
Did they really think that one of them could hold her back?
Isabel directly ignored Dekan and pursued Chloix.
Although she hated Dekan more.
Her best strategy right now was undoubtedly to eliminate Chloix first.
Whether today she walked away with the Ice Snow Princess or Dekan.
Chloix was her greatest obstacle in the mission.
As long as she killed Chloix.
She would be able to ravage the defenseless Ice Snow Princess once again.
Even if the Ice Snow Princess had taken precautions this time and might choose to fight to the death rather than be enslaved by Isabel.
That was okay.
Without Chloix in the way, Dekan was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
However.
Before Isabel could get any closer to Chloix, she suddenly heard a voice from another direction:
“Did I let you pass?”
Dekan rapidly retreated on the ice, throwing out “Captain De’Erkan” and “Captain De’Erkan.”
Two Q-version Dekan dolls instantly appeared on the ice, waving happily at Isabel.
At once, Isabel recalled Dekan’s repeated provocations and his incredibly arrogant demeanor.
An uncontrollable flame of fury ignited within her!
It was an unnamed anger that made her want to kill Dekan at the fastest speed possible, regardless of the consequences.
Isabel wanted to control her emotions and not hate Dekan.
But the more she tried, the more the pent-up frustration and resentment only fueled her blazing anger!
At the same time, she felt her precision in action being affected, as if her sense of direction and target acquisition had become disordered.
Now she was afflicted by the statuses of “Taunt,” “Rage,” and “Confusion.”
Her attack target had forcefully shifted from Chloix to “Captain De’Erkan,” changing her heading abruptly toward Dekan.
“Good! You want to die!”
Isabel shouted angrily at Dekan.
Originally planning to deal with Dekan later.
Now he was the one foolishly charging into her line of fire!
Although she had to temporarily leave Dekan a chance for survival for the mission.
She decided to first hack off Dekan’s two legs.
A card creator certainly didn’t need legs!
Even the parts on him could be reduced further!
Isabel played into the plot, sprinting toward Captain De’Erkan and Dekan.
Dekan pulled out two more “Captain De’Erkan.”
It seemed he planned to use the same tactic he had once used against the aristocrat Flata, constantly dragging Isabel with “Captain De’Erkan.”
However.
Just as Isabel was about to swing her dagger at “Captain De’Erkan.”
A strange curve suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
A spell card had somehow appeared in her palm.
After releasing it, she successfully purified the taunt status and swung her dagger at lightning speed toward Dekan.
Dekan seemed not surprised that Isabel would use purification.
However, when he identified the card Isabel had just used that resembled purification, his pupils suddenly constricted!
“Purification’s Designate”
“Type: Spell Card”
“Rarity: Purple Rare”
“Tier: 6”
“Effect: Removes a specified abnormal status or control effect and prevents further influence from that type of abnormal status/control effect for 10 minutes. Designate-type spell cards share a cooldown of 60 minutes, and the cooldown of this card does not share with regular purification magic.”
“Note: ‘Don’t keep controlling me!'”
