Dekan's Death Game

"Well, you gave the most, you can go now."

Dekan, with his eyes closed, appeared to be pointing at a demon at random, and said...

He was actually too lazy to remember who gave the most.

Because he never actually said that he would let go of whoever gave him the most.

The ones that weren't chosen were the Scaled Demon and the Silver-Haired Demon.

They also realized that Dekan simply didn't have any statistics!

I simply chose to let one go based on my mood.

Or perhaps.

Dekan held a grudge from the very beginning, and no matter how much they handed over, Dekan had no intention of letting them off the hook!

What's the point of them throwing money at it then?!

Their expressions immediately turned ashen, yet they dared not show their anger.

The chosen lucky demon, though wearing a relieved expression, felt as if he had swallowed a fly.

It seems like he would have been chosen even if he hadn't attacked the Demon Point!

It was all pre-arranged; their earlier infighting was just plain stupid!

"Hurry up, lucky boy."

Dekan gave the demon a "I'm letting you go" look and waved for him to leave.

After receiving Dekan's permission, the Lucky Demon's fear and will to survive seemed to be amplified without end. For a moment, it abandoned all thought and instinctively ran frantically out of the restaurant.

However, as soon as he stepped outside, he was locked onto and killed by the Eye of the Demon.

"Oh dear, when did I say the meal was free? Tips are separate from the food cost, you know."

Dekan chuckled and muttered to himself.

The Scaled Demon and Silver-Haired Demon near him trembled.

They also realized that something was wrong with the lucky demon from before.

It must be that Succubus again, secretly plotting something!

The Scaled Demon and the Silver-Haired Demon already wore expressions of despair.

It seemed they had no hope of escape.

Furthermore, no one knows what kind of torment they will face next.

"Don't be so serious, okay? Actually, I don't care about your lives or deaths at all. I just want to watch you play the game."

"This time, I promise one of you will survive."

"How does it feel? Are you much more at ease now?"

"Dekan asked."

The two surviving demon nobles were silent at first, but soon nodded vigorously.

This Succubus is terrifying.

But she has never lied!

As long as she gave a clear guarantee.

There might still be a glimmer of hope!

"First, please help me throw this trash outside."

Dekan pointed to the unconscious demon on the ground and said.

The two demons hesitated slightly, but under Dekan's increasingly cold gaze, they quickly sprang into action, carrying the unconscious demon to the door and throwing him out.

The unconscious demon, having triggered the restriction of Dine and Dash, was then obliterated by the Eye of the Demon.

Dekan nodded in satisfaction, looking at the last two demons, preparing to announce the final rules of the survival game.

"First of all, congratulations on surviving until now. Freedom is right before your eyes!"

"Let me think about it for the last game... We have to eliminate one person..."

"How about this, you play a Squid Game. Without fighting, whoever pushes the other out of the restaurant will survive, and I promise I won't bother him again."

After explaining the rules, Dekan leaned back in his chair.

Like audience members waiting for the movie to start in a theater.

The two demons exchanged a glance.

Suddenly, as if unleashing their instincts, their eyes turned incredibly fierce.

For the next ten minutes or so, they were like two sumo wrestlers, hesitant to attack too aggressively yet wanting to push each other out of the restaurant, thus beginning a particularly comical game of strategy.

Dekan leaned back in his chair, a slight smile playing on his lips, watching the two noble demons' ugly posture.

Finally, just as the weaker Silver-Haired Demon was about to be pushed out of the restaurant by the Scaled Demon...

He disregarded the "no fighting" rule and recklessly launched a full-scale attack on the Scaled Demon, pushing it back!

The Scaled Demon that landed outside the restaurant was executed for "Dine and Dash".

The next second, the Silver-Haired Demon also violated the rule of "no fighting" and turned to ashes in despair.

The entire restaurant was now a mess.

Even if there were other prison guards.

They dared not approach at that moment!

Dekan, as if he had just watched a good show, stood up and stretched wearily.

"It's not that I haven't let you off the hook."

Dekan muttered to himself.

He is always very trustworthy.

However, neither of the two demons realized, given the situation just now, that this was a rule of death.

Instead, they foolishly started fighting each other.

Although it seems that one of them will survive.

But if someone is about to be pushed out of the restaurant and killed, why would they care about the restaurant's rules?

They will definitely go all out, regardless of the consequences!

But once they make a move...

That would also be a dead end.

Therefore, this was a dead end from the start.

The inevitable outcome will be that one person will be pushed out, and the other will be eliminated for breaking the rules.

"They actually thought they had a chance to survive; they're adorably naive."

"No matter how many times I play, I find the demons so much fun; I never get tired of playing them."

Dekan thought to himself, a satisfied look on his face as he relived this deadly game.

In this survival game, the longer you survive, the more desperate you become.

The closer it gets to the end, the more they know they have no hope of survival, yet they still instinctively struggle while feeling suffocated by fear.

Watching the demons' expressions made him feel like he'd had a feast.

Dekan walked out of the restaurant with a contented expression.

This was the first time he had felt so refreshed since arriving in this Shadow World.

It feels amazing to be able to do what I want without any worries!

"Dekan... I feel like you might have wasted your time acting all this time..."

"Now that I've made sure Dekan has finished work," Cat Teacher said timidly from Dekan's shadow.

Dekan: "Is that so?"

Cat Teacher: "Hmm... your performance just now... I don't even know how to describe it, meow..."

Dekan thought about it carefully and said:

"... I think I did get a little carried away just now."

After all, he had been too restrained in the first two floors.

The excessive self-control led to an unbridled indulgence when Dekan was able to release all the pressure on his mind and body!

Dekan had little idea how his actions would appear from a third-person perspective.

But he did realize it.

I think I really did have a lot of fun just now.

Dekan: "Probably... maybe not..."

Cat Teacher: "I think you can completely stop worrying about your reputation, meow. There's no need, really no need, meow."

Dekan fell silent after hearing what Cat Teacher said.
