272 Dekan’s Demon King Experience Card
Dekan felt that he was undoubtedly a “Carlos Scholar” now.
Even in the current world.
Dekan could say with great responsibility that no one on earth understood Illusory Bishop Carlos better than he did now.
Even if Carlos himself were to come, Dekan wouldn’t back down.
Carlos is just a bishop, what does he know about himself!
Only Dekan can be called Carlos’s soulmate!
He currently even doubts whether he could subdue Carlos with just talk therapy.
Dekan chuckled and shook his head.
He couldn’t have imagined that Carlos, one of the hardest bishops to deal with, had become so simple.
“Well, it’s time for you to go.”
Dekan sighed.
In truth, he harbored no real murderous intent toward Karlst, a demon who didn’t have strong malice towards him and hadn’t really made him mad.
It was purely for the Shadow World’s rewards.
Such a big monster, if it could be killed, then it should be killed. There might be an Illusory Bishop Carlos card drop.
When Dekan raised his hand to get rid of him, Karlst didn’t panic much; instead, he just said:
“Please tell me the answer.”
While Dekan sealed Karlst with the Demon King’s Power, he said:
“I bet you can’t understand this. This timeline is merely a historical projection to me.”
“I am indeed not one of the 33 previous Demon Kings, nor the 34th reigning Demon King.”
“The Demon King present on my body comes from after the 34th generation, from the future.”
With Dekan’s last words fading away, the Demon King’s Power also completely sealed Karlst.
Then erased him.
“Phew, finally almost done.”
Having gone through a series of high-intensity trials continuously, Dekan had finally gathered all his companions, completed all the preliminary trials, and now there was only one big boss left.
Of course, now there was not only a need to rescue his teammates, but also the mission target, the Dark Saintess, awaiting his rescue on this floor.
But with the 8th level Demon King’s Power under his control, Dekan could easily revoke the seal effects on any target.
…
Dekan returned to the entrance of the 8th level.
Controlling the Demon King’s Power, he released all his comrades.
And reopened the live broadcast.
The originally statue-like companions immediately recovered their freedom.
“Huh? This power? You’ve awakened it?”
“How many more victims have there been on this level?”
“Surely, you haven’t done something too underhanded, right?”
All members of the Beautiful Soul Squad were already used to Dekan, and they weren’t particularly surprised by any changes in him.
Even though Dekan’s current magical strength had reached a level comparable to a 9th-rank expert.
Only Krey, upon sensing Dekan’s aura, instinctively became vigilant as if faced with a great foe.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, the 9th-rank experience card will be gone once we go to the next level.”
Dekan patted Krey’s shoulder and said.
“Even at this 9th-rank level, your abilities now are quite extraordinary.”
What Krey felt intimidated about was not merely Dekan’s attributes comparable to a 9th-rank.
It was the authority over the Demon King’s Tomb that Dekan held.
As long as they are in this level, with the control over the Demon King’s Power, even if other 9th-rank experts came, they wouldn’t be able to easily deal with Dekan.
If they could bring the Warden here to the 8th floor, Dekan could probably subdue her without much trouble.
Unfortunately, this prison can’t ascend.
They still have to face the boss properly.
While Dekan gave them a brief explanation of the 8th level’s situation, he led them deeper into the Demon King’s Cemetery.
“The only remaining goal is to rescue the Dark Saintess, pass through the Warden’s checkpoint with her, and finally escape the Demon Realm following the route that Altice gave me, and we’ll succeed.”
This cemetery was large.
Dekan did not cross the Demon King’s Tomb beforehand but prioritized heading back to rescue his comrades and then led them towards the target direction.
If everything went smoothly, the Dark Saintess should be behind the Demon King’s Tomb.
There would also be a teleportation gate nearby leading to the final area of the Demon Realm’s prison.
In fact, the entire quest went much smoother than expected.
The only significant hiccup came from the trouble Krey caused.
Because he brutally killed the Warden, they were now missing key information about the Warden.
So with the limited clues they had, Dekan couldn’t deduce the Warden’s weakness.
At this point, it would have to rely on Dekan’s intelligence to make up for the loss.
Regardless of what weakness the Warden had,
Dekan was confident to bring her unexpected operations.
Looking on the bright side,
First, rescue the Dark Saintess, maybe even get some more information.
And who knows, she might turn out to be quite powerful.
Since the Dark Saintess was introduced as someone who can change the tide in the Shadow World’s beginning,
She must possess extraordinary talents herself.
In the team’s configuration, even if it is a direct confrontation, she can still deliver a few blows in front of the Warden.
Dekan felt better again.
Soon, the group reached the end of the Demon King’s Cemetery and saw the Dark Saintess, who was under seal.
She was obviously treated with utmost importance. Even under the Demon King’s Power seal, she was placed in a position with additional protective wards.
Even those other Prison Guards who had succeeded on the 8th level could not break through the wards with the Demon King’s Power to either save or kill the Dark Saintess.
But Dekan was different.
He’s overpowered now.
He effortlessly broke the wards and carried the statue-like Dark Saintess out.
“Is this the Dark Saintess we are looking for?”
“It should be correct. There are no other prisoners on this level.”
The legendary Dark Saintess was not much different from their imagination.
A beauty with an exquisite appearance, she resembled a masterpiece carved by the creator himself while under seal.
Dekan controlled the Demon King’s Power again to remove her seal.
Once the seal was lifted, the Dark Saintess finally revealed her porcelain-like skin and silkily smooth black hair in front of everyone.
However,
The Dark Saintess, after being imprisoned for years, seemed unable to even stand, and she leaned forward.
Cornelia quickly supported her.
“Are you… alright?”
Cornelia was a little nervous at the Dark Saintess’s frail state, fearing that she might accidentally break her.
“…”
The Dark Saintess’s head was down as if pondering why she was suddenly released from the seal.
Had the day finally come for the Demon King to personally try her?
But the Demon King must also be aware that
She and demons had irreconcilable enmity.
She harbored extreme hatred for all demonic races and was willing to pay any price to eliminate demons.
No matter how much she was tormented, she would never compromise, only seeking the best way to commit suicide.
So the Demon King temporarily kept her sealed here.
It was just that, she didn’t know why the familiar Demon King never came?
Could it be that humanity had won and finally came to rescue her?
The Dark Saintess was filled with anticipation and used all her strength to slowly raise her head.
But then,
She saw Dekan.
