Dekan's List

"I know you could never become the bishop of the Resurrection Church."

Although Ice Princess's brows were furrowed with sorrow, her tone was resolute.

"But... this is an official announcement from the Resurrection Church."

Ice Princess handed Dekan a document.

The above text contains the information released by the Resurrection Church this morning.

"After active and friendly communication and negotiation, we are pleased to announce that, effective immediately, Mr. D, skilled in curses, poisons, and mind control, has officially joined the Resurrection Church and will serve as the Church's new Cardinal — the Bishop of Pain —fighting alongside other members for the great doctrine."

"So I transferred to Resurrect Gaming to play jungle, right?"

Dekan couldn't help but curse.

Although the Resurrection Church did not name Dekan by name, it was essentially the same as reading out Dekan's ID number.

"Who the hell came up with this idea?!"

Dekan felt like he was trying to hunt birds all day, only to be pecked by them instead.

It's unbelievable that the Resurrection Church, which was so angry with him just a few days ago, is now willing to abandon all pretense of dignity and drag him down with them.

Moreover, the actions of the Resurrection Church are utterly disgusting.

If the Resurrection Church truly considered Dekan a comrade, it would never have made its own information public like this.

So whether Dekan is a member of the Resurrection Church or not, those who know, know.

The meaning of the Resurrection Church is quite clear.

The point is to give those who want to cause trouble for Dekan a pretext to criticize him.

"This is nothing more than a tactic used by the Resurrection Church to sow discord, and indeed, some people with ulterior motives are using it as an excuse. Please don't worry, the innocent will clear themselves, and the vast majority of people believe you are a hero."

Ice Princess looked at Dekan earnestly and said.

"I absolutely believe you."

Seeing that Dekan remained silent, Ice Princess added another sentence.

"Is it because if my reputation is too high, or if I become a top-tier Card Crafter, it will infringe on the interests of certain people?"

"Dekan asked."

"That's right."

"Well."

Dekan sighed helplessly.

He had already tried his best to get Lampard to report the whole thing discreetly.

For example, the "overwhelming celebration of Captain Dekan" held in Tristin was portrayed as a mere coincidence.

Then, by chance, they captured a large group of Resurrection Cultist.

The process of "defeating Isabel" was also omitted in many details, because Dekan could not reveal his final trump card.

Finally, the part about "defeating Evans" also credited the main damage output to Paladin Judith.

Therefore, the report of the whole incident appears to show that the two eighth-tier powerhouses, Ice Princess Judith and Dekan and Croix, acted as the main force, while together they defeated Evans as the assistants.

While Dekan was undoubtedly the key player, it seemed more like "luck struck," and that he "came to the rescue and demonstrated his ability to counter Evans."

The details of Dekan's scheme, which involved manipulating everything from behind the scenes, were concealed.

Even so, there are still some people who cannot tolerate Dekan.

"Besides, your Demonic Script card-making technique isn't something no one can recognize. Although interlanguage card-making is a key area of research for modern Card Crafter, your mastery of Demonic Script card-making is unbelievably high, as if you were truly a living ancient demon..."

Ice Princess added.

Dekan nodded.

He knew what the Ice Princess meant.

Demons have almost disappeared from this world many years ago.

Demonic Script card making has gradually become a lost technology.

In ancient times, the Pain Stream and Mana Evaporation Build that Dekan now uses are not uncommon among demons.

At that time, there were countermeasures and strategies to deal with the demon's pain inflict, pain feedback, and summoned interference.

However, with the changing times and environment, demons became extinct, and these demon-based archetypes also disappeared due to a lack of new cards.

However, Dekan suddenly unveiled Dekan newly modified version of the Pain build in this era without demons.

Furthermore, the addition of some of Dekan's cunning ideas has made the current environment very difficult to deal Dekan.

They can often be caught off guard by Dekan.

If Dekan were allowed to develop the demonic faction further, it could very likely have a huge impact on, or even destroy, the environment in the present world.

Some top-tier Card Crafter might become completely useless due to being so thoroughly countered.

Therefore, many people do not want Dekan to bring about such a huge change in the environment.

"Could you tell me where the main resistance comes from?"

Dekan asked calmly.

"Top- Card Crafter from the Northern Nations, top-tier Card Crafter from the imperial forces, and..."

Ice Princess handed Dekan a list that had been prepared in advance.

Dekan took the list, glanced at it, and nodded expressionlessly.

"I understand, thank you."

"The powers of the Northern Nations are currently requesting the Kingdom Association to conduct a full review of you, attempting to remove you from the Norton Kingdom. The Norton Kingdom and several friendly neighboring countries have also strongly opposed this. But rest assured, His Majesty the King will not hand you over under any circumstances."

"Um."

Dekan knew that the Norton Kingdom wouldn't betray him.

From the moment he enrolled, the King and nobles of the Norton Kingdom must have been staunch Pro-Dekan Faction.

Otherwise, Dekan's life wouldn't be so easy and carefree.

Most of the surrounding neighboring countries maintained friendly relations with the Norton Kingdom.

Furthermore, the fact that Dekan had dealt with the Bishop of Ruin Evans, who frequently appeared in the surrounding area, undoubtedly put the neighboring countries at ease.

Therefore, other forces may also have protective opinions towards Dekan.

However, the Kingdom Association is not absolutely united.

The imperial forces outside the Federation are also quite a headache.

This gave the Resurrection Church such an opportunity to sow discord.

"Then Dekan, why don't you go kill one or two more bishops to prove your innocence? The Resurrection Church can't possibly tolerate your blatant disrespect, can it?"

Suddenly, the Cat Teacher made its brilliant remark from the side.

"If I have the ability, why don't I just deal with those who raise objections? Aren't they much easier to handle than those bishops?"

Dekan retorted irritably.

Besides having reliable teammates, a large part of the reason he was able to defeat Evans was --

Evans walked right into Dekan's web.

Anyone who dares to come looking for Dekan will be met with a Dekan and deadly end.

However, even if Dekan were to bring his idol group along, it would be difficult for Dekan to actively attack those bishops.

"You, you better not do anything reckless, meow!"

Listening to Dekan's dangerous remarks, Cat Teacher was momentarily convinced that this kid was the Bishop of Pain.

Dekan remained silent, only glancing at the list again.

He ran his fingertips over their names one by one, as if trying to erase them.
