The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

At this point, the man in the tuxedo, his expression dark, took out a small dinner knife and gently pressed it against the neck of the passenger closest to him.

"But if you don't come out, I'll kill you every thirty seconds..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a feeling of palpitation came over him, making him stop talking.

What he just felt was...

The two companions in the driver's cab were attacked one after another!

A strong sense of unease welled up in the man in the tuxedo.

Shouldn't Dekan be in the cabin?

Had he tricked me again?

Wouldn't that make me look like a clown?

After all that, all that threatening talk that he was absolutely certain of turned out to be a complete waste of time!

And is this bastard a ghost?!

When exactly did he bypass my line of sight and go to the cockpit?

Just as the man in the tuxedo was in a state of panic and unable to come to a conclusion.

"Buzz."

The airship's broadcast system seemed to be reconnected.

Then an announcement was made over the loudspeaker in the cabin:

"Dear passengers, the hijacker in the cockpit has now been taken hostage."

"Please enjoy your pleasant and enriching journey."

"Hey you in the cabin, surrender now and we'll spare your life, otherwise we'll take you down with us."

The calm and composed voice stunned the man in the tuxedo.

Everyone at Hervenlitt Academy was also very surprised.

Isn't that Dekan's voice?

How did he get to the cockpit and so quickly eliminate the enemy's accomplice?

However, the biggest problem is—

What do you mean you kidnapped the robbers?!

Is this something a student should say?

......

The man in the tuxedo immediately understood his situation.

The Knight Commander cannot kill him because of the self-destruct spell card.

The reason the Knight Commander is uncontrollable is that his companions in the cockpit can also cause the ship to crash at any time.

But now that Dekan has taken control of the cockpit, all the Knight Commander needs to do is find a way to control him!

The knight commander also realized what was happening, immediately gripped his sword, and planned a route to bypass the passengers and ambush the man in the tuxedo.

He's been putting up with this thug for a long time!

However, the man in the tuxedo quickly pulled out the knife that had been placed on the passenger's neck.

It pressed hard against his neck.

He even scratched his neck with so much force that it drew blood.

He looked at the knight commander with a hint of desperation in his eyes.

"If you dare to move, I'll blow them all up!"

The man in the tuxedo roared.

"hateful......"

The knight commander stopped in his tracks once again.

He had no way to stop the man in the tuxedo from committing suicide at that distance, nor could he subdue him.

On one hand, there was the distance, and on the other hand, there were quite a few passengers between Alice's seat and Dekan's seat.

If only someone could create an opportunity for him.

Even if it's just to hold the man in the tuxedo in place for a few seconds.

The man in the tuxedo gripped the knife tightly in both hands, letting the blood trickle down his neck, and stared intently at the knight commander as he moved closer to the window.

He has now lost his biggest bargaining chip.

Continuing to threaten Dekan is also an option.

But the tide had turned.

Showing off one's abilities is never a good strategy.

Most importantly, he fully realized how strange Dekan was.

Looks like a ghost!

Although the church members involved in the operation knew about Dekan's behavior patterns and the cards he used in the Shadow World.

But when he actually ran into Dekan, he truly understood the despair of those members who had died tragically at Dekan's hands.

True despair is like this: whenever you feel you have victory in your grasp and are about to win.

The next second, you realize that you are actually just a toy in the other person's hands.

He didn't want to experience that bottomless feeling for even a second longer.

As long as he can keep an eye on the Knight Commander's movements and defend against Dekan's painful attacks using [Pain Shield], he can escape!

He'll be safe once he breaks the window and summons the previously prepared flying creature.

However, just as he was about to complete his escape plan...

"Hehe, silly!"

There was some commotion near the cockpit; three short-legged dolls had suddenly appeared.

They have a cute, cartoonish appearance.

She was looking at the man in the tuxedo with a mocking expression, and was still spouting trash talk.

At that moment, the man in the tuxedo was consumed by rage and lost his temper.

099 Dekan firmly believed in his upright conduct.

Three dolls, dressed slightly differently, were jumping around happily.

Each of the two dolls has a small square tag with a line drawn on it attached to its shoulder by a pin.

The doll in the middle has two stripes on its shoulders.

It seems to be a symbol of social status with unclear meaning.

If you installed a rotating light ball in the cabin, it would definitely make people feel like they were dancing at a disco.

As a member of the Resurrected Cult sent to target Dekan, the man in the tuxedo knew exactly what this doll was.

It is one of Dekan's frequently used cards: Captain Dekan.

Although the basic taunt effect is weak, the taunt duration increases based on the enemy's hatred towards Dekan.

It will also inflict a state of confusion.

Men in formal attire understand these principles.

When he first read Dekan's Shadow World combat record, he only thought the doll's expression was smug.

He was quite certain that his strong will would not be swayed by this doll.

However, in reality, when he harbored deep hatred for Dekan and was chosen as the target of Dekan's mockery.

He felt his mind go completely blank.

There was nothing but overwhelming rage and murderous intent!

He was willing to give up everything to tear that damned doll that looked just like Dekan to shreds!

The man in the tuxedo had bloodshot eyes and rushed towards Captain Derkan without hesitation.

For a moment, they forgot that they still had to hold the knife to their necks to threaten the knight commander.

And further away.

The knight commander gripped his sword tightly.

But he glanced back at Alice, and after a very brief hesitation, he chose a conservative strategy.

He cannot leave Alice.

He was unsure whether the summons sent by Dekan would be able to control the man in the tuxedo for long enough.

Moreover, there was a lack of tactical communication between him and Dekan.

Acting rashly might conflict with or interfere with Dekan's plans.

In the worst-case scenario, the man in the tuxedo inadvertently cornered the other man, leading to his suicide attempt and subsequent self-destruction.

The Knight Commander didn't have a chance to go back and protect Alice.

However, since Dekan chose to act without communication, he must have a complete strategy.

The Knight Commander chose to trust Dekan.

Mier had also considered whether he should poison the man in the tuxedo to help Dekan.

After all, Dekan himself was in the cockpit and wouldn't be able to get to the passenger cabin anytime soon.

Without the physical body arriving, it's still difficult to completely control the man in the tuxedo who has blocked his sense of pain.

She had no idea what Dekan was planning.
