185 Dekan’s Torture – The Obsession of the King
In the living room of Dormitory No. 404 at the Knight Academy.
“You go stay with Cornelia first. I need some time to calm down.”
Dekan sat on the sofa, fingers interlaced, chin resting on them, his expression heavy as he thought deeply.
“Whatever did you create, meow!”
Teacher Cat circled around on the couch, occasionally trying to climb onto Dekan.
When Dekan ignored it, it attempted to jump onto his head and mess up his hair.
Dekan grabbed Teacher Cat firmly, capturing it on the spot.
“It’s just as you said. I combined the principle behind the Cursed Doll’s heart pain attack with the true name lock of the Blood Covenant, all embedded into the strongest structure—a book.”
“…Do you intend to continue using that equipment, meow?”
Teacher Cat looked at Dekan’s expression and thought he might be more cautious in using this card in the future.
After all, if this card were used excessively, others might trace or deduce that Dekan was the mastermind.
From the perspective of danger, no one would let Dekan go!
“Of course. How could I waste a daily draw?”
Dekan replied confidently.
Apparently, he still dared to use it.
Every day.
“Y-you, if you’re found out, I-I live with you everyday, I don’t know how to explain it myself, meow!”
Teacher Cat’s voice was filled with both anxiety and fear.
Its speech suddenly resembled Cornelia’s way of talking.
Dekan silently let go of it.
He allowed it to keep fidgeting and then said,
“Don’t be afraid. There’s absolutely no way anyone can discover my method. It uses ultra-ancient and Shadow World magic principles. Even if someone discovers it, by the time they do, I will probably have already collapsed all my enemies with curses.”
“But this time you just got lucky in killing King Ashtonton, or he wasn’t killed by you at all, meow.”
Teacher Cat didn’t think Dekan could curse everyone.
Moreover, from now on, Dekan wouldn’t be able to freely choose his enemies to curse.
Once the pattern becomes too obvious, the cursed enemies will find a common point—”they all mistreated Dekan.”
Even without evidence, it would not take long to deduce that it was Dekan!
To be honest, even if this common point is not discovered, based on the nature of the curse, the victims cannot help but suspect that the person performing the spell is related to Mr. D.
“Hehe, don’t worry. I absolutely will not treat everyone equally, cursing each person and then end up being suspected and guessed.”
Dekan smiled mischievously.
“I am planning to target the most critical individual first, and once the effect is achieved, go on to curse the next person. My first choice, of course, is him.”
Dekan took out a document.
It recorded the true leader of the Northern Kingdoms—
King Laxus VI of the Kingdom of Tomafis, the strongest kingdom in the Northern Kingdoms.
Dekan’s obstruction in obtaining his certification as a top card maker, as well as the team evaluation problem, were undoubtedly directly linked to Laxus VI.
After all, Laxus VI is the one with real say in the Northern Kingdoms.
Additionally, he is also the person Dekan currently wants to deal with the most.
Once Laxus VI has issues, the entire Northern Kingdoms might fall into chaos.
“How do you ensure you can curse him to death, meow?”
Teacher Cat had read the newspaper earlier and thought that Dekan’s curse did not seem all that lethal.
As long as the cursed person carries a priest around, the threat is virtually non-existent.
“Hehe.”
Dekan emitted a sinister laugh,
“I will curse him at random times every day, sometimes at three o’clock in the morning. I will maintain at least one curse daily without stopping. In order to heighten his fear, I will occasionally show some dedication by giving him an additional curse during the day…”
Teacher Cat lifted its head, eyes wide open.
If Laxus VI is cursed by Dekan daily like this, unpredictable and random.
Thus, he will have no choice but to carry someone who can assist him in purification at all times.
With no way to track down the caster, nor understand the principle of stopping the curse.
It can be said that his mental state will surely explode within a week.
Teacher Cat could imagine Laxus VI eating halfway, suddenly being cursed, and spitting it out, completely embarrassed.
Even while bathing or using the restroom, he might be cursed at any moment.
He might even be cursed awake while sleeping.
And Laxus VI cannot relax just because he thinks he has been cursed for the day; Dekan might give him an additional curse.
He must keep his nerves tight 24/7.
In less than a month, Laxus VI would no longer be able to concentrate on work, lose all happiness in entertainment, and worry constantly about his daily routines.
Considering Dekan’s daily perseverance in casting his curse,
If he cursed for an entire year, Laxus VI would either commit suicide or go completely crazy.
“He must have been cursed with bad fortune for a thousand lifetimes to be targeted by someone like you, meow.”
Teacher Cat now felt pity for those who provoked Dekan.
With “Dekan’s Gospel” in hand, those targeted by Dekan will never smile again.
Dekan: “Then who called for him to make things difficult for me first? A commoner like me, can I not retaliate after being bullied by a tyrant?”
Teacher Cat: “Let me take ten steps back and not talk about your extra-judicial enforcement issues. If there were more troublemakers like you, no one in the world would dare to call themselves king, meow…”
So Dekan’s daily task from now on would be to curse Laxus VI once every day until he goes mad.
Dekan still couldn’t bear to curse the man to death.
After all, he didn’t want his holy Gospel to turn into a Death Note.
Dekan always disliked anything associated with killing.
So, Dekan eagerly took out the Gospel and wrote down information related to Laxus VI.
Then he completed a curse that cost him virtually nothing.
He was already looking forward to seeing the day when Laxus VI’s insanity would make the news.
“By the way, speaking of the Seventh Rank Team Assessment, what are we going to do, meow?”
Teacher Cat suddenly remembered a key issue and reminded Dekan.
The rule of the assessment is that participants will enter a Man-made Shadow World designed for combat scenarios.
Once the assessment is passed, any number of team members can freely combine to challenge the Shadow World.
It is also allowed to replace up to two registered teammates with temporary teammates of a rank not exceeding the seventh for a challenge in the Shadow World.
“Unfortunate that Morion couldn’t come.”
Dekan sighed.
That bastard was still in the Southern Kingdoms, nowhere to be found.
Dekan felt that if it came to this kind of confrontation, sending Morion in would be endlessly entertaining.
It might even teach their opponents a lesson.
“I can hardly imagine if Morion were a girl, which pair I should support, meow…”
Teacher Cat whispered softly to itself.
Although Dekan always claimed to hate Morion,
Whenever he planned to cause trouble for others, the first person he thought of was always Morion.
