Dekan Was Certain He Was a Decent Man

Three dolls, dressed slightly differently, were jumping around happily.

Each of the two dolls has a small square tag with a line drawn on it pinned to its shoulder.

The doll in the middle has two stripes pinned to its shoulders.

It appears to be a symbol of social status with unclear meaning.

If you installed a rotating light ball in the cabin, it would definitely make people feel like they're dancing at a disco.

As a member of the Resurrection Cultist sent to target Dekan, the Tuxedo Man knew exactly what this doll was.

It is one of Dekan's frequently used cards [Captain Dekan].

Although the basic Taunt effect is weak, the Taunt duration increases based on the enemy's hatred towards Dekan.

It will also inflict a state of confusion.

Tuxedo Man understand these principles.

When he first read Dekan's Shadow World combat record, he only thought the doll's expression was obnoxious.

He was quite certain that his strong will would not be swayed by this doll.

However, in reality, when he harbored deep hatred for Dekan and was chosen as the target of [Captain Dekan]'s Taunt...

He felt his mind go completely blank.

There was nothing but overwhelming rage and murderous intent!

He was willing to give up everything to tear that damned doll that looked just like Dekan to shreds!

The Tuxedo Man had bloodshot eyes and rushed towards Captain Dekan without hesitation.

For a moment, they forgot that they still had to hold the knife to their necks to threaten the Captain of the Knights.

And further away.

The Captain of the Knights gripped his sword tightly.

But he glanced back at Alice, and after a very brief hesitation, chose a conservative strategy.

He cannot leave Alice.

He was unsure whether the summons sent by Dekan would be able to control the Tuxedo Man for long enough.

Moreover, there was a lack of tactical communication between him and Dekan.

Acting rashly might conflict with or interfere with Dekan's plans.

In the worst-case scenario, they inadvertently cornered the Tuxedo Man, leading to his suicide attempt and subsequent self-destruction.

The Captain of the Knights didn't even have a chance to turn back and protect Alice.

However, since Dekan chose to act without communication, he must have a complete strategy.

The Captain of the Knights chose to trust Dekan.

Mie had also considered whether he should poison the Tuxedo Man to help Dekan.

After all, Dekan himself was in the cockpit and wouldn't be able to get to the passenger cabin anytime soon.

Without the physical body arriving, it's still difficult to completely control the Tuxedo Man has blocked his sense of pain.

She had no idea what Dekan was planning.

However, she frowned as she gazed at the three dolls in the distance.

The "Captain Dekan" in the middle seems a little different...

Previously, she had asked Dekan for a Captain Dekan figurine as a souvenir.

Therefore, she was very familiar with the Captain Dekan card.

It should only have one stripe on its shoulder...

Mie identified the middle doll with two stripes on its shoulder and examined it closely.

[Squadron Leader Dekan]

[Category: Summon Card]

[Grade: Blue Precious]

[Class: 2]

[Effect: Inflicts the "Enrage" status on the enemy, increasing their attack and decreasing their sanity. The deeper the enemy's hatred for Dekan, the stronger the effect.]

[Note: Captain Dekan, hurry and die!]

Mie quickly realized that this was another Captain Dekan!

This card is much weaker than Captain Dekan when viewed as a single card.

Lacking the crucial element of Taunt, and rashly Enrage the opponent, could actually lead to your own instant death.

However, it works quite well when used with Captain Dekan.

When three chibi-style Derkans are mixed together, the opponent, in a state of panic, won't even bother to distinguish between them.

Furthermore, the Tuxedo Man was very confident in his intelligence.

He basically concluded that these chibi versions of Dekan were all [Captain Dekan].

So they were completely unaware that there was another being mixed in who could inflict the "Enrage" status.

The Tuxedo Man was so upset that he didn't even know why he was so angry.

He only thought he was in a state of confusion and that he was genuinely angry!

In fact, he already had mental problems; his thinking ability and rationality had been greatly reduced.

The cockpit at this moment.

"Well, it's about time. It's time to send the 'Little Tuxedo' on its way."

Dekan propped his feet up on the console, clasped his hands behind his head, and leaned against the back of the passenger seat.

He clearly considered this his seat.

They had no intention of returning to the passenger cabin.

Isn't this seat and the view much more comfortable than first class?

For a moment, Dekan even began to understand the hijackers' joy.

As for why Dekan is here...

The reason is simple.

He had already changed himself into Substitute Doll when he set off this morning.

This [Substitute Doll] was borrowed by Dekan from Croix.

Tier 3 Purple Rare cards are too expensive; Dekan can't afford them.

In addition, [Substitute Doll] is not an essential card that every member of the team needs to have one of.

It's enough if only one person has it.

Before leaving the dormitory in the morning, Dekan transformed into Sprite Cat and hid in his luggage.

During boarding, the Dekan Cat was stored in the Substitute Doll.

So Dekan hid in the luggage compartment and controlled the Substitute Doll.

Later, when the ship was rocking and a hijacking occurred, Dekan quickly ran from the baggage compartment to the cockpit.

They easily ambushed and took down two bandits.

The two bandits had no idea that Dekan would come, nor did they waste their magic power to maintain Pain Shield.

Having had ample time to prepare, Dekan hid in the shadows, hypnotized himself, and then revealed himself to deal with one of them with a 60-fold Heartache Attack.

He then immediately used the [Ruined Poet] buff to unleash a Blood Purification that caused ten times the pain, evaporating the blood and rendering the other unconscious.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to use [Blood Purification] to cause Blood Vaporization effect on other humans.

The necessary condition for [Blood Purification] to Purification the enemy's blood is that they are of a "different race".

However, when Dekan uses his Sprite Cat form, he successfully completes the cross-race detection!

For Dekan, Purification is a very convenient instant-cast, non-trajectory, target-locking damage spell.

Unfortunately...

When Dekan arrived at the cockpit, only two bandits and the pilot remained.

Apart from the pilot who needed to steer the ship, the other crew members had been abandoned on the Magic Airship by the hijackers as useless individuals.

Dekan had no chance to save them.

The only thing we can do is avenge them.

"Don't be nervous, you're safe now."

Dekan put down the broadcast device, smiled, and patted the driver on the shoulder.

He hoped to make the driver feel more at ease.

"Hmm... okay..."

Despite the pilot's best efforts to control the airship, his body was still trembling uncontrollably.

The driver knew that his danger was mostly over; someone had rescued him.

But this guy who killed the robber seems even worse off than the robber!

Who knows if he's double-crossing someone!

Perhaps the real disaster is just around the corner!

The pilot had little hope of making it back to Earth alive.

His greatest wish now is to have one last drink before he dies...

Seeing the driver's reaction, Dekan shook his head regretfully.

Why does the driver seem so unsafe?

Dekan felt that his actions were nothing short of a miraculous heroic entrance...
