Dekan Tries to Salvage His Reputation Again

For ordinary prison guards, surviving in the second level of this Exile Zone is a very difficult task.

Therefore, staying on this floor will not deduct Demon Point.

You can also earn more Demon Point by surviving.

However, Dekan doesn't have that much time.

He now completely disregards 200 Demon Point!

He might even consider it if I offered him 2000 a day!

This floor looks incredibly empty.

There are almost no facilities.

Or rather, this entire floor is a giant cage.

Staying here for too long would probably drive me crazy with loneliness.

Dekan could even see in the distance the portal leading to the third level, located on the other side of the second level of prison.

As long as we can get to that place.

The second level is considered cleared.

However, before Dekan even stepped out of the portal, he saw that familiar figure just by looking outside—

Olive.

She sat on a small hill of bones outside the portal.

His eyes were somewhat vacant as he stared into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

Her goal was clear: to block the door here.

Olive didn't want to give any of the guards or prisoners who came to this level any chance to escape her grasp and reach the third level.

Being imprisoned here, her only pleasure is probably toying with the guards and prisoners.

Compared to her unrestrained and alluring figure at the Demon Academy, Olive now seems much more reserved for some reason.

She possessed a captivating, melancholic beauty.

Although her skin was no longer as flawless as it once was, it was etched with the Purgatory Mark, like lines.

But clearly, she is now much stronger than before, having gone through so much hardship.

I'm afraid even a typical seventh-tier demon wouldn't be able to deal with her.

Fortunately, Olive didn't appear to have any bloodstains or signs of fighting on her.

No teammate should have been assigned to the second tier at the start of the game.

Otherwise, she would definitely have engaged in a battle with Olive.

Without hesitation, Dekan stepped out of the safe zone surrounded by a barrier around the portal.

We have officially entered the second level.

[Jailer & Prisoner - Olive of Purgatory]

[Defeat the Jailer on this floor to receive 2000 Demon Point]

Seeing the plains, the goal of reaching the portal to the third level, and the menacing lord.

It gave Dekan a strange sense of familiarity.

It was remarkably similar to the entrance exam he took when he went to the Havenlit Academy.

The chase.

If Dekan can evade Olive's pursuit and successfully reach the portal on the third floor, he will have succeeded.

Of course, you can also hunt down the examiners.

Surprisingly, they actually predicted the exam questions correctly for the Havenlit Academy!

Dekan believed that after this battle, not only his reputation but also the school's reputation would definitely improve.

While direct confrontation is the worst strategy to win over this seventh-tier lord, performing acrobatics and kite-flying is a better strategy, the best strategy is to win her heart and tease her.

However, Dekan's choice this time was: direct confrontation.

He wanted to be an upright and honest person like Cornelia.

Rushing headlong into the demon realm with passion—that's what a noble human warrior should do!

He absolutely cannot toy with the devil's heart anymore.

This kind of thing seems too outrageous to most people.

"I was too despicable to deceive Olive last time, and I will never use any tricks this time!"

Dekan made a silent vow in his heart.

Only in this way can his reputation be salvaged to some extent.

Last time it was a second-order opponent facing a sixth-order opponent.

Dekan has too few positions.

It also lacks some key offensive cards, such as [Blood Purification].

Therefore, winning hearts and minds was the only optimal solution at that time.

But now.

He's already a fourth-tier boss!

A fourth-tier opponent against a seventh-tier opponent—the advantage is mine!

If I can't beat the bishop, if I can't beat an eighth-tier opponent, how could I possibly handle a seventh-tier demon girl?

Dekan decided to show Olive what it meant to not underestimate a young person's potential!

On a small bone mountain shrouded in poisonous fog and shadows.

"..."

Olive seemed to be muttering something incoherently.

She has no idea how long she has spent in this prison.

Every minute and every second was torture for her.

At first, she tried to pass the time by playing with the toys on the second level of the passage.

But she soon realized...

No matter how many toys you have, they can't fill the void in your heart...

"Another one coming to their death?"

Olive had already noticed the commotion near the portal.

But she didn't want to pay attention.

I've been looking forward to this for so long.

Hopes were dashed time and time again.

Too much hope was a form of torture for her.

However.

She noticed Dekan entering the second floor.

"!"

Her pupils suddenly dilated!

It seemed that Dekan's gray hair and race had touched a nerve, causing her gaze to shift from its vacant state and quickly focus.

However, Olive's eyes quickly turned to disappointment.

"It's not him... it's not him... why do you have to be Succubus, and have gray hair!"

Olive seemed to be getting increasingly frustrated, and she leaped down from the bone mountain, swooping down towards Dekan!

She wanted to vent her pent-up anger!

"Why won't you come to this prison to be with me?!"

Olive's voice trembled slightly as she cried out, her cries sounding like a lament.

Dekan stood calmly in place.

I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with Olive.

But Olive is in great shape!

She mentioned gray hair and Succubus.

It's highly likely that the storyline of this Shadow World is indeed connected to the Demon Academy!

If Olive truly remembers herself, and if she harbors a burning rage and obsession with her past actions...

What she remembers and hates is precisely her original self!

Then you can easily control and kill her by directly activating [Captain Dekan]!

Dekan decisively threw out [Captain Dekan].

When Olive saw the Q-Ban Dekan doll, she stopped in her tracks, just as Dekan had expected.

"?"

Olive's attention was completely drawn to [Captain Dekan].

Then, somewhat dazed, she approached [Captain Dekan].

Hmph, a double kill on Olive is within reach.

Dekan had already analyzed the opponents on the next level.

However.

Under Dekan's gaze.

Olive reached out her hand to [Captain Dekan].

It...

He picked me up?!

Olive hugged the doll tightly to her chest, rubbing her cheek against it, tears streaming down her face, murmuring with a mixture of sorrow and joy:

"My dearest love, I miss you so much..."

Dekan: "????"

Dekan stood there, momentarily bewildered, as if questioning the meaning of life.

He initially thought he had Olive under control.

Then, gradually, we realized that something was wrong.

Damn it, I couldn't control it at all!

At this point, Dekan realized the seriousness of the problem.

Olive did remember him.

This should theoretically be good news.

But the bad news is...

Olive doesn't seem to hate him at all; in fact, she seems to feel the opposite way!
