Dekan Was Powerless to Resist

Cornelia is... sucking herself up like a cat?!

Although at this time, Dekan, as a familiar, received a 10% power boost from Cornelia.

But no matter how hard he struggled...

All I can feel is that...

Cornelia's bones beneath her soft skin were as solid as steel, impossible to budge an inch.

It was an absolute power, as if one were holding a toy and had it firmly under control of their body.

"Cornelia! Wake up!"

Dekan shouted anxiously as he tried to push Cornelia away.

He wasn't panicked at first.

In Dekan's previous experiences, no matter how panicked he appeared, he was actually as calm as a rock.

It's fair to say he's acting all the time.

But now.

He was genuinely starting to panic.

The situation is very serious!

Cornelia buried her head in Dekan's neck, not because she was obediently sensing Dekan's presence.

Instead, they were doing things that even Dekan hadn't considered.

Dekan only felt an unusual coolness on his neck, which had become itchy.

The electric shock-like sensation spread along his spine to his skull, making his cheeks numb.

"Stop right now, Cornelia!!!"

Dekan was fully aware of the seriousness of the situation.

From Dekan's perspective, apart from Cornelia's red hair, he couldn't see what Cornelia was doing with her head buried in his neck.

But Dekan was absolutely certain, through his own senses Cornelia was doing something dangerous.

Cornelia showed no sign of stopping immediately.

She hugged Dekan tighter and tighter, gradually threatening to embrace him.

Due to Dekan's current physical condition, coupled with the effects of [Three-Corpse Berserk].

At this point, Cornelia was, in a way, in a state similar to being bewitched.

However, it is not a charm state and cannot be easily removed through Purification.

Dekan recalled what happened in the room with the two ladies affected by the [Three-Corpse Berserk] in the Shadow World [Wild Mountain Blizzard Mystery]...

He was truly afraid.

Sometimes, once a train starts moving, it's impossible to stop it just like that.

If Cornelia completely loses control, the consequences will be unimaginable!

He's still live streaming!

In situations like this, cutting off the live stream would only make it harder to explain what happened afterward!

So, while the audience couldn't see what Cornelia had done to him from their current perspective, the live stream was still salvageable, Dekan's first reaction was to try to wake Cornelia up.

At the same time, Dekan felt a surge of anger.

Damn Morion!

They've done so many terrible things!!!

This time, Morion really caused us trouble.

Dekan activated the [Hypnosis Gas] in his hand, holding his breath as he tried to knock Cornelia unconscious.

However, Cornelia, as if by reflex, also held her breath.

Dekan: "?"

No way Cornelia?

The next second after Dekan's initial shock, he fully understood why.

Dekan had already taught Cornelia that once the [Hypnosis Gas] was released, she should hold her breath!

Cornelia seemed a little uncomfortable holding her breath.

So he grabbed Dekan and jumped away from the gas-filled area.

Dekan was panicked, but not completely panicked.

Because he still has a card that can help him break free from Cornelia's grasp.

Having confirmed that the [Hypnosis Gas] wouldn't work on Cornelia, Dekan immediately used the Crooked-Mouth Captain Dekan.

This card can successfully Taunt friendly units!

Dekan couldn't help but feel grateful to Tata for creating this Snake Skin Card, which always seemed to save him in unexpected ways.

Unfortunately, another accident occurred.

Cornelia was already in a state similar to being bewitched.

But the tacit understanding and fighting instincts between her and Dekan seemed to operate automatically without needing to be thought.

She never looked up at Captain Dekan!

Dekan: "??"

Dekan suddenly realized.

Cornelia understood him too well.

If there is one person in the world who can kill him single-handedly.

Then it must be Cornelia.

Or Cornelia is the person in the world most adept at targeting Dekan.

Cornelia has seen through Dekan's every secret!

If a fight really breaks out...

As long as Cornelia doesn't hurt Dekan and instead holds him tightly in her arms, Dekan has no way to break free, Cornelia unconscious.

Mana Evaporation is out of the question; Cornelia hardly ever uses summons, and even when she does, it's the low-power [Captain Dekan].

"Cornelia... I'm sorry... I had no choice but to knock you out!"

Dekan really didn't want to hurt Cornelia.

But Cornelia isn't knocked unconscious now, in another ten minutes or so, he might be the one who gets knocked out.

Because Dekan felt that the minty, icy, yet slightly burning sensation on his neck seemed to be shifting!

Cornelia will likely soon become dissatisfied with the status quo and begin new actions.

Based on Dekan's previous experiments.

To remove the effects of [Three-Corpse Berserk], you either have to wait for the target's desires to be satisfied, or for time to pass naturally.

However, it's hard to say how long this will take, as it depends on the mental state of the person who was infected.

Besides, either stunning the target or inflicting severe pain can also bring them back to their senses.

Now, the only card Dekan can use against Cornelia is [Mental Shock].

Cornelia seemed to be acting on her fighting instincts once again.

Just as Dekan was about to trigger [Mental Shock], he reached out and grabbed Dekan's wrist, knocking the card from his hand to the ground.

Dekan: "???"

This is the end of the world!

Wrong.

Dekan realized that he might have been too optimistic.

He is now finally convinced.

From the moment Cornelia locked him in a point-blank position, he was already in a state of defeat.

If she truly harbors ill intentions towards me.

She can do whatever she wants to her.

All struggles are futile!

Dekan's biggest mistake was naively believing that Morion wouldn't betray him at this crucial moment.

Dekan had a defense against Morion.

But Dekan was always thinking about when Morion might betray him.

He didn't need to outwit thin air in places where Morion was unlikely to betray him.

This will only increase internal friction and make it infinitely more difficult to achieve the goal.

But Dekan really couldn't understand why Morion would betray him now!

This is completely contrary to Morion's shrewd business sense!

Purely self-destructive and harmful!!

All they gain is Dekan's anger and revenge; they gain nothing else.

"Cornelia, please wake up!! I'll never use [Three-Corpse Berserk] again!!!"

Dekan finally panicked, his eyes even showing despair, and he shouted desperately as he looked up at the sky.

For the first time in his long life, he felt real fear.
