Countess Lisilina and Morion's Mutual Predictions (Part 1 of 2)

"Next, all we need to do is send Morion up to sell a batch of goods, and we can easily take care of Countess Lisilina."

As Dekan and Cornelia spoke, a pleased smile crept onto his lips.

The two of them were leisurely walking up the stairs back to their bedroom on the second floor.

They planned to go back to the bedroom, wake up the lazy dog Morion, and then have him sabotage Countess Lisilina. That way, the final mission in this Shadow World would be a resounding success.

The holiday has actually started now!

And Dekan was most looking forward to today was undoubtedly the look of confusion, fear, and then despair on Countess Lisilina when she was framed.

Dekan could already picture Countess Lisilina 'Morion expression when Morion plunged a poisoned blade into her heart as she closed her eyes, awaiting his kiss.

Dekan was already getting impatient.

"Have some humanity, Kanzi. Even vampires are more human than you, meow..."

A faint voice drifted from behind Dekan.

The Cat Teacher couldn't help but peek out from Cornelia's shadow and give a sharp critique of Dekan.

"?"

Dekan looked back at the Cat Teacher in Cornelia's shadow, full of doubt.

Dekan: "How did you get here?"

Cat Teacher: "Of course I need to stay with you guys for safety. It doesn't matter where I sleep, meow."

Dekan's smile vanished instantly.

He seemed to have thought about many things.

Seeing the change in Dekan's expression, Cat Teacher quickly shrank back into Cornelia's shadow.

The reason is unknown.

But it also knew that it seemed to have done something unexpected by Dekan, which might have backfired.

Actually, Morion secretly told it to it last night.

Let it follow Dekan Cornelia during the day, recording every moment they share, so they can communicate more later.

Dekan was silent for a moment, Cornelia's shadow and tapped it.

"Cat Teacher, confess! Did Morion trick you into coming with us?"

"Hmm? Hmm... Is there a problem?"

The Cat Teacher didn't dare to stick her head out.

He stammered, trying to get away with it.

"Damn it!"

Dekan didn't quite know how Morion had managed to bewitch the Cat Teacher.

But he couldn't be bothered to investigate further.

Anyway, once the Cat Teacher jumped into Cornelia's arms, Dekan couldn't do anything about it.

What did Morion do?

Cornelia asked, full of doubt.

"That bastard must have run away! Now we're going to have to work overtime again!"

Dekan answered through gritted teeth.

If it weren't for Cat Teacher keeping an eye on Morion would probably have already taken this only chance to run away.

Furthermore, if Cat Teacher were in the bedroom, Morion wouldn't have left that weak and pitiful little cat alone in the lord 'Cat Teacher room and then run away.

Although he was an unscrupulous businessman, he still had some conscience towards his own people.

Soon, Dekan and Cornelia arrived at their bedroom on the second floor.

Pushing open the bedroom door, just as Dekan had expected, Morion was gone.

However, one could notice a letter left by Morion on the desk.

Dekan reluctantly picked up the letter.

I opened the envelope and took out the letter, the ink still wet on it.

[To Dekan, Cornelia, and Cat Teacher,]

[By the time you read this letter, I will have already left.]

[The amount of money earned through hard work and charitable donations this time is approximately three thousand Holy Gold Coin.]

[I'll take one thousand; the rest is in this Chamber of Commerce crystal card as your luxury travel expenses. I've put the crystal card in the envelope.]

[Wishing you a wonderful trip to the Holy Kingdom, and a dreamlike journey filled with beautiful memories.]

[However, you'll have to deal with Countess Lisilina first.]

[It's a pity I can't witness your heroic efforts in working overtime; it makes me a little disappointed.]

[I hope you can resolve this with fair and square means, rather than resorting to underhanded tactics. I've always been an upright person.]

[However, I'll handle the investigation of the two remaining challengers who haven't been caught yet. Once you've dealt with Countess Lisilina, you can go have some fun.]

[As Dekan the position of "Marketing Director of Happy Group" that you mentioned earlier, I'll consider it, since I've never worked for anyone before.]

[Also, I'm sure you'll have a much more enjoyable time without me.]

Looking forward to seeing you all again.

[ --Morion]

After reading the letter, Dekan shook his head helplessly.

Once Morion, a master of disguise, escapes and blends into the crowd of the city-state, it will be virtually impossible to find him again.

Moreover, Morion is undoubtedly the one who understands Dekan the most.

It would be almost impossible to lure Morion into a trap using methods like fishing.

This can be seen as Morion's redemption; he successfully escaped from prison.

"This really chills my heart."

Dekan had assumed that he and Morion had developed some mutual trust.

Unexpectedly, Morion still ran away without hesitation.

"Why did Morion run away, meow!"

"Cat Teacher asked, puzzled."

However, this question...

Dekan and Cornelia exchanged a somewhat guilty glance.

On one hand, they were planning to have Morion act as a gigolo later.

On the other hand, after completing their mission in the Shadow World, the first thing they planned to do was tie Morion up.

Dekan had anticipated that Morion wouldn't be very honest.

So we need to get him under control first.

However, Morion seemed to have anticipated Dekan's prediction.

They escaped during this last chance.

"Are you planning to do something to him, meow?!"

"How could that be...?"

Dekan and Cornelia both gave perfunctory answers.

Seeing Dekan and Cornelia's attitude, Cat Teacher quickly guessed their plans.

These two are definitely planning to kidnap Morion and then give him a good beating!

Although the Cat Teacher felt that Morion had also deceived it.

But upon closer reflection...

It's probably true that Morion shares the same goals as it.

Morion really didn't want to be a third wheel.

So he chose to leave alone.

The Cat Teacher quickly forgave Morion.

Dekan: "Tsk, this kid, next time we meet he'll attack as soon as we see him, don't give him a chance to speak."

Cornelia: "Okay!"

While the Cat Teacher was pondering, Dekan and Cornelia had already devised a strategy to deal with Morion next time.

Upon hearing this, Cat Teacher couldn't help but sigh:

"Now I really think Morion's running away was perfectly reasonable... You guys are just too obsessed with people, meow..."

"Heh heh heh, daring to desert at the crucial moment..."

For some reason, Dekan laughed again.

"I had a feeling Morion would pull something on me, so I prepared a little surprise for him."

Dekan had already anticipated that Morion might anticipate his prediction.

Therefore, we made preparations in advance.

"Let's take care of Countess Lisilina first, then we'll give Morion some fun later."

Dekan couldn't catch Morion.

But he promised to mess with Morion's mentality later.

At this moment, two vampire servants stood outside a bedroom on the second floor of the mansion.

This is Countess Lisilina's room.

Besides Countess Lisilina, the only other female vampire in the room was her only female vampire companion.

Only a few lights illuminated the dim space of the room.

The curtains in the room had all been replaced with heavy, dark fabric, blocking out all sunlight.

Countess Lisilina was originally asleep.

But for some reason, there was a noise downstairs that sounded like renovations.

Although she knew that the two devils under the command of "Marquis Roderick" would torture the three prisoners, this commotion was still too great.

Just like her two dependents and the three prisoners got into a fight.

However, the commotion subsided not long afterward.

It seems the two demons have finished their interrogation.

Next, he should report the situation to the Marquis, and then perhaps come to see her again.

Countess Lisilina thought to herself.

So she stayed awake, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Let's wait and see how things develop.

She was eagerly anticipating seeing the Marquis again.

We waited like that for several tens of minutes.

There was finally some movement outside the door.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Lady Lisilina, Marquis Roderick wishes to discuss this with you."

Upon hearing the voice of "demon's servant" outside the door, Countess Lisilina happily stood up from the edge of the bed.

She quickly went to open the door.

Two masked demons were standing outside the door, waiting for her.

"The Marquis wishes to speak with you privately."

Dekan bowed respectfully to Lisilina and then spoke.

"OK!"

Lisilina quickly signaled her retinue to wait there, then eagerly followed Dekan and Cornelia.

So Dekan Cornelia led Countess Lisilina to their room.

"The Marquis is waiting for you inside."

Dekan grasped the doorknob, preparing to open the door for Countess Lisilina.

In that instant, Cornelia prepared to act.

She instantly summoned the Murder Book [Blood Investigation Ledger] and slammed it down hard on Lisilina's head.

However, Countess Lisilina dodged again with a strange movement.

Lisilina's reaction seemed exceptionally quick, Cornelia was unable to hit her for a moment.

Countess Lisilina looked at Cornelia with a shocked and angry expression.

"What do you want?!"

"..."

But Cornelia did not respond to her.

He simply picked up the weapon again and smashed it over her head.

Dekan also summoned the [Ruined Poet] to ensure that Cornelia's Murder Book would cause 20 times the pain and knock Lisilina unconscious if it hit.

An enemy that can be killed by force.

They don't talk much.

However, Dekan soon discovered that Countess Lisilina's agility was not due to any particular physical strength at that moment.

Rather, she seems to have the ability to briefly predict the enemy's movements.

Similar to an extremely high evasion attribute.

When they first met, Lisilina was able to dodge Cornelia's sneak attack, presumably because of this ability.

High stats, massive health, excellent disguise skills, and even has a henchman—that's all.

Why is he still a dodging character?

If we were to restore this vampire countess to her full seventh-tier condition, it would likely be quite troublesome.

Even if you gathered at least thirteen regular Tier 6 challengers together, it would be difficult for them to defeat her and her five retinue members.

Unfortunately, the Countess's luck was cursed, and her intelligence was also affected by her love-struck mind. It was just like having a 10,000 gold lead only to have the opponent unintentionally steal a dragon and take her away. Just like that, she was caught red-handed by the Dekan gang at the Lord's Mansion. It would be difficult for her not to be unilaterally manipulated.

And now, she has actually managed to survive Cornelia's pursuit.

If Cornelia's buff expires, there might really be no way to deal with this countess.

In addition, her relatives also rushed over upon receiving her order.

The classic film perfectly recreates the scene of their first meeting.

It doesn't matter.

Dekan wasn't afraid of them last time.

Because Dekan has a card that hard counters all vampires.

Last time, Dekan was worried she would run away.

It was nighttime, after all.

Now it's daytime, and this mansion is both Lisilina's protection and her prison; she has no way to escape.

Countess Lisilina's value has also been completely exploited.

It's time to harvest.

So Dekan took out that Tier 3 Spell Card that was specifically designed to counter vampires.

No matter how flashy or extraordinary Countess Lisilina's abilities may be.

Once this card is used, Cornelia can instantly defeat Countess Lisilina.

So Dekan used the [Solar Fist]!

Moment.

The entire dimly lit corridor was transformed into a world of light.

And Dekan means the sun.

"Aaaaaaah!"

Countess Lisilina was not only blinded by the sudden light, but also felt a sense of powerlessness wash over her!

It was like being bathed in extremely strong sunlight.

Not only did the flash of light expose her weakness, but it also rendered her unable to retaliate!

But Cornelia wasn't affected at all, because she was wearing a mask!

Cornelia quickly caught him and smashed him on the forehead with a Fatal Spine Cleave.

Countess Lisilina's eyes rolled back, and she fainted from the pain, her body convulsing.

"This is the purest power of sunlight, can you feel it?"

"That's what the sunny boy Dekan said."

The three dependents, having lost their commander, were immediately at a loss.

On the one hand, they were afraid of this violent demon wielding a book.

On one hand, they fear the hellish demon behind them who can wield the power of the sun.

In their eyes, the other party was like two evil spirits gradually approaching them.

Not long after, the vampires' screams echoed through the mansion once again.

"Damn it! Can this jerk stop showing off his love without warning every time?!"

The audience, who had just been blinded by Dekan's dazzling display, cursed again.

"This card really works on vampires?"

"After all, it's called Solar Fist, not Flash of Light. It seems Dekan's cards never engage in name deception..."

Viewers even suspect that Dekan's primary goal in creating the cards was to specifically target vampires.

Unfortunately, last time in the Wild Mountain Ancient Mansion, the formidable enemy, Viscount Augustine, was subdued before Dekan could even use his [Solar Fist].

"Is this guy an enemy of all races? Why is he always thinking about making cards specifically designed to counter them...?"

"Upon closer reflection, it seems he really is targeting the evil faction."

"Don't think like that, he's just a double-crosser!"
