The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

It may already be a corpse.

The man's white tuxedo was stained with some horrifying crimson, and even his neck was stained with someone's blood.

His steps were calm and composed, and he wore a gentlemanly smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.

He surveyed the passengers in the cabin.

That cold gaze was like that of a butcher looking at his own pigs.

"no, do not want!"

"I don't want to die!"

The tourists in the cabin were terrified.

They began to whisper among themselves in a panic.

Even before the man in the tuxedo revealed his purpose, everyone knew that the ship was in grave danger.

The passengers' lives are likely now in this man's hands.

The seventh-ranking knight in charge of the escort had already drawn his weapon in an instant.

However, the man in the tuxedo remained calm and simply revealed a card.

[Spark of Destruction]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Class: 5]

[Passive Effect: If the wearer is killed, it will trigger an extremely powerful fire-attribute explosion.]

[Note: An early masterpiece by Minos of the Resurrected Church.]

"mean!"

This caused the knight commander's pupils to shrink sharply, and he gripped his sword tightly, but was unable to strike again.

"If you don't want all these passengers to die a horrible death, please calm down, Sir Knight Commander."

The man in the tuxedo smiled and said to the knight commander.

"Furthermore, if you dare to come any closer to me, my companions in the cockpit will make this ship plummet straight down."

At the same time, the man in the tuxedo showed off another card.

However, this card has a very large arc, as if it's not just meant for the Knight Commander to see clearly.

Especially when he turned the card towards Dekan, a cryptic smile appeared on his lips.

[Sentry on alert]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Grade: Blue Rare]

[Class: 3]

[Passive Effect: When the wearer is attacked, suffers an abnormal status, is controlled, or loses consciousness, other teammates within range carrying this card will receive a warning signal.]

[Note: Beware of fire, theft, and sneak attacks]

This card was used to warn Dekan.

Do not attempt to use curses, poisons, or mind control.

Clearly, the man in the tuxedo had other accomplices who hijacked the cockpit.

The knight commander remained silent.

It just moved a little closer to Alice.

If an extreme situation were to occur later, he would choose to protect Alice and then jump off the magic airship with her.

At this height, with the help of magic and physical enhancement, even at the seventh level, he still had a way to safely land with Alice.

But when that situation actually comes to...

He then had no way to take care of the other passengers and students.

Most people will die.

"Don't worry, don't worry, why are you so serious? Our target isn't Her Highness the Princess. Nobody wants to be relentlessly hunted down by His Majesty the King."

The man in the tuxedo chuckled and finally looked at Dekan.

"Dekan, could you please come with us? The fate of everyone on the ship is in your hands."

"..."

Dekan kept his head down, looking at the book.

They seem to be listening, but don't want to pay attention.

"Oh my, Dekan, you're in great shape! Your mental fortitude is far superior to the others. But we won't hurt you, after all, you'll be our future companion."

The man in the tuxedo looked at Dekan with satisfaction.

In the capital, they couldn't kidnap Dekan, but once they left the capital, things were different.

Dekan closed the book, looked up, and glanced at the man in the tuxedo.

A faint, almost imperceptible, disdainful smile played on his lips.

Do you think I would sacrifice myself for people I don't even know?

Dekan asked in a cold tone.

They seemed to find the man in the tuxedo's question absurd and laughable.

“We’ve seen your performance in the film world. You would never harm innocent people, and you would even lend them a helping hand. However, this is your greatest weakness.”

Of course, if you choose to abandon them and save yourself, then you will be even more in line with our doctrine.

Whatever you choose, you will be embraced by us.

The man in the tuxedo seemed to be performing a one-man show, enjoying the feeling of being watched by everyone.

He opened his arms, leaned back slightly, and his smile became even more unrestrained.

"Ugh, you despicable and shameless bastards."

Dekan sighed, looking genuinely exhausted.

It's a feeling of being one step behind and accepting your fate.

"Promise not to hurt any innocent people, and I'll go with you."

Although Dekan's tone remained calm, his words were filled with a sense of powerlessness.

I can't kill them, I can't control them, and the other side is probably prepared with pain shielding.

Even Dekan was powerless to help.

The other side was far too well-prepared.

“Dekan…”

Alice bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with resentment.

She felt desperate.

Although she was not in danger, she could only watch helplessly as her friend, the rising star of card makers in the Kingdom of Norton, was abducted by the Church of Resurrection.

Who could have imagined that the Church of Resurrection would suddenly attack at this moment?

Moreover, their meticulous preparations precisely exploited Dekan's weakness.

Otherwise, given Dekan's own abilities, he would never have been forced to compromise by them!

"don’t worry."

Mir gently took Alice's trembling hand.

She felt that Dekan was unlikely to simply compromise so readily.

Dekan didn't talk about the whole big event.

At least he's not the kind of person who would easily compromise with criminals.

You can always trust the acting skills of an award-winning actor.

"Boom, bang."

The man in the tuxedo clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Then he bowed slightly to Dekan and extended his hand.

"Then, Dekan, could you please hand over your cards to me for safekeeping?"

"..."

"Please don't blame me for being petty, but your methods are something we have to be wary of."

"hehe."

Dekan seemed to find it somewhat absurd and chuckled coldly twice.

While they can still threaten him, they use all the passengers as leverage to force him to hand over his cards, thus rendering him completely incapable of fighting.

It was truly a flawless hijacking plan.

Indeed, we can corner him and pull out all his fangs.

It feels really uncomfortable to be targeted.

"The choice is in your own hands, and that is our greatest sincerity."

The man in the tuxedo smiled victoriously.

It seems they are already certain of what choice Dekan will make.

After all, if Dekan had any other options, he wouldn't have been talking to him so politely.

"OK then."
