Dekan's Death Coliseum
The events of last night already seemed strange to these three Resurrection Cultists.
Why does the Shadow World provide mission hints that resemble traps?
It's like the Shadow World and the final, formidable enemy conspired to trick the challengers!
Generally speaking, missions in the Shadow World wouldn't be this unsolvable.
In retrospect, being arrested was actually a necessary step on the road to success.
Only their capture will trigger the intervention of the mystical priests of the Holy Rite Church to rescue them!
Once they escape from here and gather enough evidence and intelligence, they can follow the priest to the Holy Rite Church to request support. Then, they can wipe out the vampires lurking in the Lord's Mansion in one fell swoop!
This is the correct and reasonable strategy!
"You'd better confess everything quickly, or I'll make you suffer every kind of pain imaginable."
Despite uttering threatening words, Dekan once again played the role of a kind and righteous priest.
He placed three bottles of high-level healing potions in front of the three prisoners and continued to convey a message to them using pen and paper:
"Heal your wounds as soon as possible. I will unlock your chains and create an opportunity for you. Please, you must defeat those two vampires! The glory of humanity will live on forever!"
Dekan's back was as straight as a pine tree, and every stroke he wrote was vigorous and powerful, as if filled with resentment towards vampires and his determination to avenge his best friend.
Even though Dekan was wearing a mask, he could not hide his righteous spirit.
His noble and dignified priestly aura seemed to be the only light in this dark and cold prison cell.
Intense and dazzling.
The three prisoners were momentarily stunned.
I never imagined they would one day receive this kind of redemption.
My feelings are complicated.
Soon.
Cornelia walked behind the three prisoners, grabbed the chains connecting the shackles, and then broke them one by one.
She has professional lock-picking skills and is adept at picking locks both day and night.
Therefore, she knows how to bend metal to make it as quiet as possible.
Cornelia then released the three prisoners as if by magic.
At this point, Dekan wrote down the next instructions on the paper:
"I'll trick those two vampires outside into walking in unsuspectingly. You need to use all your strength to ambush them and take them down! Then run and spread the information! We'll also help you hold off Countess Lisilina and her remaining three servants!"
Dekan's words conveyed a clear sense of preparedness to make sacrifices.
All three prisoners nodded emphatically.
I couldn't help but feel a certain respect for this "native" of the Shadow World before me.
Soon, Dekan went out the door and said to the two family members guarding outside:
"The trial is over. They are no longer of any use. You may now have your meal."
"Really? Is that okay?"
Upon hearing Dekan's words, both vampires showed expressions of excitement.
In order to adhere to Countess Lisilina's policy of keeping a low profile, they had not hunted any prey during this period.
In addition, last night, in order to keep him alive for interrogation, I didn't even get a single drop of blood.
"Rest assured, this is the Marquis's intention. Those who work harder will be paid more; we will never exploit any labor force."
Dekan patted the shoulder of the family member beside him and said.
The two family members thought about it and agreed that it made sense.
After all, they were the ones who stayed up all day without sleeping and worked overtime.
What's wrong with having a big meal?
"Then let's get to work. Please thank the Marquis for his gracious permission."
Just as the two retinue members were about to enter, Dekan pressed down on the shoulder of the vampire retinue member beside him and whispered in his ear:
"Be careful when you go in; they seem to have a backup plan to break free of their chains and fight back."
The family members nodded.
They quickly understood what Dekan meant.
The three prisoners may still have some leverage.
Those cards that they couldn't find on the prisoners were probably their only hope for turning the tide.
So, the moment the two vampire servants stepped into the cell...
A great war is about to break out!
One side prepared for a sneak attack, while the other side prepared to counter it.
So it quickly turned into a head-on, life-or-death confrontation!
Suddenly, it felt as if an explosive had been detonated in the cell. Even standing outside, Dekan could feel the earth shaking inside.
If the cell hadn't been sturdy enough and protected by a powerful magical barrier, the commotion would likely have caused part of the mansion to collapse.
"Die, you vampire!"
"Foolish humans! Do you think we can't see through your little schemes?!"
The two sides had already formed a deep-seated hatred last night, and they became extremely hostile when they started fighting head-on.
Dekan thoughtfully closed and locked the iron gate for them.
When you fight, it's a fight to the death.
No one is allowed to leave until a result is achieved.
Then Dekan took out his most versatile Spell Card, [Three-Corpse Berserk], and activated it with great anticipation.
When this card is triggered, the roars of the vampires and Resurrection Cultist in the cell can be heard even more intensely.
The two sides, already somewhat heated, now seem determined to fight to the bitter end.
"Love and peace~"
Listening to the beautiful sounds coming from the cell, Dekan couldn't help but hum a little tune.
Just after they had been fighting for a while.
Dekan felt that their condition was probably quite poor.
Because their cries have become softer.
It's like I haven't eaten.
They need to be given a push.
So Dekan summoned the [Ruined Poet] from outside the door.
Instantly, the roars in the cell turned into screams of agony.
The enemies slaughtered each other, but the pain was multiplied tenfold.
The nature of this deadly battle changed instantly.
The Resurrection Cultist and vampires in the prison cells were already in a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Even knowing it's a deadly game, they can't stop.
After a while, Dekan determined that the sounds from the cell had become fainter than ever before.
It seems that two or three have already fallen.
There might still be two tough guys making the final blow.
At this point, we can't let them fight anymore.
Dekan won't let them have their way.
"Cornelia, you can go now."
Upon hearing Dekan's instructions, Cornelia immediately activated [Olive's Ultimate Madness], grabbed [Blood Investigation Ledger], opened the iron gate, and rushed into the cell.
Then, even more piercing screams could be heard from inside the cell.
Within five seconds, the entire cell fell silent.
Dekan strolled into the cell as if taking a leisurely walk, and glanced at the five men lying sprawled on the floor.
The three Resurrection Cultists are likely deceased.
Cornelia has already started looting the cards they dropped.
The two Blood Race relatives were indeed too tough; these few blows weren't enough to kill them.
He has simply passed out from the pain after being hit by Cornelia.
But it's not a big problem. We can just drag them out into the sun later, tie them up, and roast them over a fire until they die.
"That takes care of five troublemakers now. Next up is you, Countess Lisilina."
Dekan hummed a little tune again, put his hands behind his back, and leisurely walked towards the stairs, with Cornelia jogging after him.
