274. Dekan’s Selling Krey Strategy
At the eighth level of the Demon Realm Prison, near the entrance to the final ninth level.
Dekan was explaining tactical arrangements to the others.
This process had already lasted for several hours.
Neither Chloix nor Morion had any issues.
However, Cornelia was bordering on mental overload.
To Dekan’s surprise, despite Krey looking extremely impatient, he had undoubtedly remembered the entirety of Dekan’s strategy.
When tested on Krey, he answered everything.
The reason why the tactical arrangements had been so extensive was due to the lack of intelligence.
Dekan had analyzed the mechanism of the ninth level; theoretically, the ninth level must have a mechanism that doesn’t rely purely on brute force, or even an eighth-ranked Prison Guard wouldn’t be able to pass.
The ninth level would still maintain a degree of rationality.
However, the difficulty would definitely be extremely high.
After all, this was a ninth-ranked boss.
The exact mechanism could only be seen once in the ninth level.
The more thorough the pre-battle preparations were, the greater the advantages in the ninth level.
Dekan finally finished explaining his more than forty tactics and their derivative situations.
Krey seemed to be feeling somewhat hair-raising and began massaging his temples.
“Who are you exactly, preparing so much before battle…?”
Krey muttered under his breath.
He didn’t want to meet such a hellish enemy in the real world.
His caution was terrifying.
It was truly like he had calculated all possible situations!
Completely giving no way out for the opponent!
Krey truly felt that this Little Succubus had gone too far and complained:
“Your earlier plans weren’t problematic, and I won’t talk about the low-probability events in the middle, but what’s with the incredibly bizarre situations and responses in the later parts?!”
Dekan gave Krey a sidelong glance and said:
“It’s still all due to you killing the warden which led to a lack of key intelligence. Even if we had that intelligence, it might not have helped predict the Warden’s strategy beforehand, but at least it could help me rule out some possibilities.”
“I surrender to you, I don’t know how your brain works…”
Krey reviewed Dekan’s tactical arrangements.
He simply didn’t know how to comment.
For Dekan, as long as the likelihood of an event wasn’t 0, he would seriously consider it, regardless of how absurd the event seemed.
Moreover, even in already strange situations, Dekan’s countermeasures were just as absurd.
“Alright, all is ready, let’s go to the ninth level.”
Dekan clapped his hands and said as he walked to the teleportation portal.
The others agreed and followed along.
…
This time, the teleportation portal had returned to being as stable as in the first few levels.
Soon, they arrived at the final level of the Demon Realm prison.
Once through this level, they could leave the Demon Realm Prison.
After arriving, Dekan first confirmed that there was a protection barrier around them, so he relaxed momentarily.
At least unlike the eighth level, they didn’t have to face danger right from the beginning.
At the same time, Dekan saw the final rules transmitted by the Demon Bracelet.
【Traitor Dungeon】
【For every day of staying on this floor, 90% of the demon points you own, or 100 demon points, whichever is the higher value, will be deducted.】
【If demon points go below zero, the warden will send you back to the first floor.】
【The barrier around the teleportation portal is a safety zone; the warden won’t attack from within here.】
【If you leave the safety zone, the warden will initiate killing mode depending on the situation.】
【You can use 900 demon points to get a ninth floor protection shield; this grants immunity to one attack from the warden with a cooldown of one minute.】
【You can use 9000 demon points to return to the teleportation portal area.】
【When leaving the Demon Realm prison, remaining demon points will automatically be converted to Demon Realm currency.】
“It seems this final level will test both our strength and the buildup from previous levels…”
Dekan muttered after observing the intelligence about this level and the scene before him.
Outside the barrier around the teleportation portal, one could see the Warden from afar.
The entire ninth level resembled a dojo.
The Warden looked like she was meditating in solitude, sitting squarely at the center of the dojo.
She looked dignified and imposing. Even just sitting there, she exuded an immense sense of pressure.
It was as if stepping out of the safe zone would immediately immerse you in her overwhelming aura.
As prior intelligence suggested, the Warden seemed to be blind, her eyes covered by a metallic face guard.
Theoretically, even an eighth-ranked Prison Guard arriving here, with ample demon points, would find it difficult to force their way through a ninth-ranked opponent.
But the Warden’s sealing of her eyes had given the guards some opportunities.
Far behind the Warden, a sizable teleportation portal could be clearly seen.
Passing through that portal would surely allow them to leave this Demon Realm prison.
In this level, if one has enough demon points, that would be a tremendous advantage.
The mechanism of this level was rather straightforward; the guard would need to utilize their resources and intelligence to breach the Warden’s defense line. Once she allowed them to leave, it would count as passing this level.
Guarding the prison was the Warden’s duty, and she couldn’t leave the prison even if she wanted to.
“You guard the Dark Saintess in the safe area while the four of us try to hold the Warden back. Once I give you the signal, you’ll take the Dark Saintess and escape toward the teleportation portal.”
Dekan, based on observations of the ninth level, quickly arranged the battle content and informed Cornelia.
“Alright.”
Cornelia nodded seriously.
“Krey, this mainly depends on you this time. We’ll fully support you.”
As the team’s sole eighth-ranked main C, almost only Krey could withstand the Warden’s attack.
Both Dekan and Morion were a couple of support members, with Chloix functioning as a healer.
A perfect trio protecting one lineup.
“No problem.”
Krey exuded intense confidence, taking large strides out of the barrier’s range, displaying the elegance of a strong warrior.
He evidently couldn’t wait to duel a ninth-ranked opponent.
However, as soon as Krey stepped out,
Dekan and the other two halted their steps.
They stayed within the barrier.
Krey: “?”
“Ah, this barrier is so slow. The space connection interrupted!”
Dekan worriedly complained.
He decided to observe from the current safe area for the time being.
Honestly, the three supports were all reluctant to step out.
After all, none of them had ever confronted a ninth-ranked enemy before.
Moreover, they were all frail, possibly being annihilated with a single strike.
So why not let the stout Krey try out the mechanism?
Merely perceiving the aura at this point, Krey already realized the problem.
He went into the map alone, yet all three supports went offline.
“You three! This counts as betraying a teammate, doesn’t it?!”
Krey turned around and roared in anger.
His anger surged.
“Is Krey annoyed? Yes, you should be. With the [Rage Demon Heart], you only get stronger when you’re angry. Isn’t this kind of auxiliary behavior?”
Dekan stood inside the barrier and earnestly asked himself and answered.
“Had I not sworn an oath, I’d beat you senseless right now!”
Krey felt that his blood pressure was already sky-high before the battle had even started.
This Succubus teammate, though strong, was truly too treacherous!
