Dekan appeared to be in perfect condition.
“Sixth-rank Shadow World, this is somewhat dangerous.”
The notification in front of Dekan’s eyes disappeared as he stood there muttering.
It was uncertain whether it was due to the behavior of deceiving the Shadow World last time being discovered, he was now targeted by the Shadow World.
Generally speaking, a three-rank individual like him should never have been able to appear in the sixth-rank Shadow World.
It could be said that the Shadow World truly regarded him highly.
However, it was still fortunate. This tranquil space should be relatively safe, more harmonious than the starting scenes of the previous two times.
He turned around and observed his surroundings.
Beams of sunlight recklessly poured in through the lattice windows, passing through the colorful stained glass and rendering the interior of the originally somewhat dim building with alternating light and shadow.
The central crucifix and the various divine paintings on the towering walls appeared in the mottled light and shadow, making him feel as if he had traversed time.
Dekan confirmed once again that he was inside a delicate yet spacious church.
However, this time,
There was no one by his side.
Even Cornelia was not with him.
“Cor…?”
Dekan called out in a voice that was not too loud, with a hint of tentativeness.
In this serene and solemn church, speaking slightly louder could cause an echo.
But Dekan received no response for a long time.
“This is baffling, how can I survive without Cornelia!”
Dekan clutched his head.
After experiencing the previous two Shadow Worlds, Dekan had already gotten used to seeing Cornelia the moment he opened his eyes.
Now, not finding her immediately made Dekan feel suddenly very desolate.
He lost his sense of security and comfort.
Dekan was not fond of this Shadow World with its random starting points.
Not only could he not quickly find Morion, but Cornelia was also missing.
Moreover, Dekan could not help but worry.
Would Cornelia be deceived? Would she lack money for food? Would she be bullied…?
No, he had to find her quickly.
Dekan, walking briskly, was about to go outside the church.
Perhaps Cornelia was outside the church, or nearby.
Dekan was certain that this was the first thing he had to do.
“You don’t need to worry about her. In the high-rank Shadow World’s split start situation, everyone will receive a relatively safe initial identity. As long as events are not mistakenly triggered, it is basically safe.”
Master, seemingly sensing Dekan’s distress, said in his mind.
Dekan’s steps gradually stopped.
“I’m just worried about her mistakenly triggering events.”
Dekan helplessly responded to Master’s inner voice.
“Let me finish speaking,”
“This Holy Ritual Church is familiar to me. I once went to its existing Shadow World.”
Master said.
Dekan: “?”
Master asked, “Do you remember in the last Shadow World, [Desolate Mountain Blizzard Illusion], the vampire Count Augustine being sealed by the church?”
Dekan nodded, “Could this church be the Holy Ritual Church?”
“Yes, in the world I know, what opposes the immortal bloodline is the Holy Ritual Church.”
Master’s tone was certain,
“If the world I know, the one you encountered last time, and the current one, are the same world. If you can cross the perilous terrain, it’s even possible to find the ancient mansion on that desolate mountain in this Shadow World.”
“So could the enemy in this Shadow World possibly be the bloodline again?”
After hearing Master’s speculation, Dekan asked.
Apart from the [Desolate Mountain Blizzard Illusion] Shadow World, there was also the epic spell card [True Word Blood Covenant] Dekan later encountered in Tristin City, which was also related to the bloodline.
This bloodline was not easy to deal with.
At least, they were more troublesome than most demons.
Dekan was skilled at killing familiar enemies.
And the bloodline he had only dealt with before was one particular embarrassing one.
“Yes, the probability is high.”
Master responded,
“Last time you faced a bloodline viscount in extremely poor condition who was tricked by you.”
“In this sixth-rank Shadow World, there may even be fully recovered bloodline counts or marquises. They are not only hard to kill but also skilled in disguise, possessing some troublesome innate magic.”
“So you must be careful, try not to rashly trigger events under the premise of investigating intelligence as much as possible.”
Master continued to explain.
Dekan slightly nodded after listening.
Before finding Cornelia, he also needed to be cautious and act as low-profile as possible.
If he really runs into these high-rank bloodlines that can’t be killed, he would have a headache.
“Thank you for the critical intelligence, Master. You are really too thoughtful.”
“Heh, I just don’t want to go to my death with you.”
“Don’t say such tsundere lines. You will seem like a loser.”
“…”
“Ahh, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! You’re good, you’re a great person!”
Although Master suspected that Dekan was being sarcastic again, she couldn’t find any evidence.
“Hmph.”
After letting out a cold laugh in Dekan’s mind, she fell back asleep again.
“Well, in that case, I might as well remain steady as usual. Of course, the first thing is still finding Cornelia. It would be nice to coincidentally find Morion too, if he is here as well…”
Dekan instinctively lifted his hand and looked down at his attire.
Discovering that he was dressed in a set of black robes.
Heh, it’s quite similar to the outfit worn by Archbishop Evans of Destruction.
Indeed, he was a priest.
Dekan couldn’t help but smile.
Other than starting separately from Cornelia, this time his luck was still pretty good.
Just as the Shadow World notification said that the Holy Ritual Church was respected by the people, he had taken on the identity of a clergy member.
This identity was truly very suitable for him, someone with a kind heart and noble moral character.
Hold on.
Dekan suddenly became aware of a problem.
Would he appear to the audience in the live streaming room to have a different flavor now?!
……
At the same time.
Through the connection of the alchemy institute, this Shadow World challenge of the Beautiful Soul Squad would be broadcast to the major city-states of the Norton Kingdom.
Even though it was still early morning, there were already many people interested in Dekan watching.
However, what they were discussing now wasn’t the fact that Dekan had entered the sixth-rank Shadow World.
“Isn’t this guy actually the D Mr. spoken of by the Rebirth Church?!”
The audiences all noticed this serious issue.
In the eyes of the original inhabitants of this Shadow World, Dekan might just be a proper priest.
But,
The current appearance of Dekan intercepted here was completely the official costume of the Bishop of Pain!
Even if Dekan was really innocent,
If there is a bird that looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s a duck.
Dekan’s consistent behavior resembled the Bishop of Pain, completely fitting the official announcement of the Rebirth Church, and even now looks precisely like the Bishop of Pain!
So in the eyes of the audience, he is the Bishop of Pain!
Even if he is not, he might as well be!
“I feel that the original inhabitants of this Shadow World might not yet realize what kind of thing has infiltrated…”
