Dekan Starts Squeezing the Resurrection Cultists

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Countess Lisilina responded from outside the door.

Morion praised him.

Countess Lisilina's voice could not conceal her joy.

However, there seems to be a slight disappointment, and a glimmer of hope.

She had no chance to see the "Marquis Roderick"Marquis Roderick at this time, nor did she expect to see him again tonight.

Like a young girl suffering from lovesickness.

Dekan listened to the sounds and footsteps outside the door.

It was certain that the poor vampire, whose feelings had been completely deceived by Morion, would soon leave.

Two family members were left to wait at the door.

"How should I start the fight...?"

Dekan muttered to himself.

Although daytime ensures that the vampires dare not easily escape the mansion to bask in the sunlight.

However, dealing with five high-HP sixth-tier vampires plus Countess Lisilina in the mansion at the same time is still too troublesome.

If only we had powerful explosives, we could blow this mansion out of the house and fight vampires in the sun like it's nothing.

Unfortunately, there is no backup support like that of Tristin City.

Although it is possible to buy explosives with money at the Chamber of Commerce.

But they bought so much powerful explosives and then headed straight for the Lord's Mansion.

It's unlikely that any knight would stand idly by and watch such behavior continue.

So, the goal is to eliminate these vampires in the simplest way possible without harming innocent people.

It seems the only option is to squeeze those three prisoners dry.

Perfect workforce.

After all, Dekan doesn't like fighting and killing himself.

If he can avoid fighting, he'd rather sit on the fishing platform and watch others fight for him.

Dekan shook his head helplessly and gently poked Cornelia's cheek.

"Hmm?"

Cornelia opened her eyes and looked at Dekan beside her.

"We should get to work."

"Oh, okay."

Cornelia quickly regained consciousness and was full of energy.

So the two put on masks and left the room.

At this point, they all used the magical potions they bought from the merchant guild to disguise their hair color as black.

After all, they didn't want to give the Resurrection Cultist a chance to guess their identities.

Even if they are both wearing masks, as long as they reveal a little bit of their abilities, people who know them will quickly guess who they are just by looking at their hair color.

"My lords, please follow me."

The vampire servants at the door bowed to the two of them and said respectfully.

Although they are all dependents of the Blood Race, their ranks are different because their masters are of different ranks.

Moreover, both of these devils appear to be the Marquis's confidants.

But they weren't that important to Countess Lisilina.

So Dekan and Cornelia followed the two vampire familiars.

"By the way, when you captured the enemy yesterday, what kind of magic did they use?"

As Dekan walked down the corridor, he asked the two vampire servants.

"They used one of those strange magical artifacts again."

"Those cards?"

"Yes."

"This is precisely the method developed by the Resurrection Church to deal with Blood Race; we must nip them in the bud!"

Dekan explained to the vampire's retinue with a straight face.

He then inquired about the details of yesterday's battle.

The result almost made Dekan burst out laughing.

The identities of the three are too obvious.

Based on the descriptions of these two companions, it can be basically confirmed that all three captured individuals had used Shadow Series Spell Card produced by Shadow Bishop Minos.

Dekan is now even starting to suspect that Minos might be deliberately trying to harm people by making the special effects of the Shadow Series cards so obvious.

Although Minos's cards were indeed very popular among the Resurrection Cultist, and even became a standard item mass-produced by the Resurrection Church.

However, simply taking out and using these cards is essentially equivalent to revealing one's identity.

As a result, even if ordinary people manage to acquire Shadow Series cards, they dare not use them easily.

They were afraid of being misunderstood as Resurrection Cultist.

Led by his vampire retinue, Dekan quickly arrived at the basement of the Lord's Mansion.

This basement looks remarkably like a prison cell.

A few streaks of light flickered in the corridor but were swallowed up by the boundless darkness, leaving no ripple on the steel walls. The heavy iron door, imbued with magic, resembled an iron coffin embedded in a secluded corner, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.

This basement was originally intended as an emergency evacuation passage for the lord.

It has now been temporarily converted into a prison.

As soon as the vampire's retinue opened the heavy iron door, a pungent smell of blood immediately filled the air.

Perhaps to a vampire, it smells sweet.

However, for humans, this taste is undoubtedly unbearable.

Soon, they saw the challengers who had been captured.

The three Severe Injury prisoners were shackled, and their injuries appeared to be severe, with some parts of their bodies even mangled and bloody.

Clearly, they had not gained any advantage in their previous fierce battle with the vampire's retinue.

The vampire retinue, being of the same sixth rank as these challengers, naturally dared not let their guard down.

Therefore, to ensure a sure victory, vampires go to great lengths.

They simply spared their lives as much as possible.

The male mage and female warrior from before, as well as the humans they captured earlier, did not survive the night.

However, this resulted in the vampire's retinue not eating last night, and could only watch helplessly as the three humans were locked in the cell.

The three prisoners stared in terror at the approaching figure.

They were almost in despair.

"You all go out first and wait for us at the door."

Dekan gave the order to his two vampire servants.

"Yes, sir."

The two vampire retinues agreed.

The vampire's attitude clearly made the three prisoners look at Dekan Cornelia with even greater fear and unease.

Isn't the master of these vampire retinues Countess Lisilina?

Why are there other "adults" here?

Could there be a hidden boss in this Shadow World?

They immediately had a very frightening thought.

Is there such a possibility?

Was the Marquis Roderick not defeated by his challengers, but rather replaced by a more Terror being from the Shadow World?

It is possible for the Shadow World to be interconnected.

For example, they are developing a sixth-order Shadow World in the south of the Holy Kingdom, while in another timeline, an eighth-order Shadow World might be developing in the north of the Holy Kingdom.

In some Shadow World, if you're unlucky enough that the map and timeline happen to match up, and you trigger some incorrect conditions, you might accidentally encounter powerful enemies from other Shadow World of varying difficulty.

If this happens, their chances of survival will go from approaching zero to truly being zero.

Because soul-bound Magic Card can be spirited and hidden within one's own soul, their Magic Card were not confiscated by the vampires.

They were waiting for daytime, when the vampires' defenses would be weak, so they could break through.

Because vampires can only exert about one-tenth of their power when exposed to sunlight.

As long as they can successfully break out of the mansion during the day and get outside, the vampires will naturally not chase them out of the mansion.

But now, these two newcomers wearing eerie masks instilled in them an overwhelming sense of impending death.

"You foolish humans who dare to provoke the Blood Race, are you prepared to pay the price?"

"Dekan said coldly."

As he said this, he pulled a small notebook from his pocket and wrote on it, "Cooperate with me, and I'll get you out of here."

He then showed it to the three prisoners.

At the same time, Dekan took his certificate as a priest of the Holy Rite Church in his hands.

This left the three prisoners utterly astonished.

Soon, Dekan wrote on the paper again:

"We were originally priests and nuns in the town, and also close friends of High Priest Kevin. After the High Priest was defeated, I pretended to surrender to Countess Lisilina."

"She thought she had mentally controlled me, but in reality, I resisted by borrowing the power of the gods."

"I've been lurking around her, waiting for an opportunity to find someone who can discover her existence and defeat her together!"

"..."

The sudden turn of events left the three prisoners stunned for a moment.

But they quickly understood the situation.

A key character in the plot has come to their rescue!

This priest, a "native" of the Shadow World, is likely the key to turning the tide in this seemingly unsolvable Shadow World!
