The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

However, she frowned as she gazed at the three dolls in the distance.

The "Captain De'erkan" in the middle seems a little different...

Previously, she had asked Dekan for a picture of Captain Dekan as a merchandise item.

Therefore, she is very familiar with the Captain Derkan card.

It should only have one stripe on its shoulder...

Mir identified the middle doll with two stripes on its shoulder and examined it closely.

[Derkan Squadron Leader]

[Category: Summoning Card]

[Grade: Blue Rare]

[Class: 2]

[Effect: Inflicts the "Enraged" status on the enemy, increasing their attack and decreasing their sanity. The deeper the enemy's hatred for Dekan, the stronger the effect.]

[Note: Captain De'erkan, hurry and die!]

Mier quickly realized that this was another Captain Derkan!

This card is much weaker than Captain Derkan when viewed as a single card.

Lacking the crucial element of taunting, and rashly provoking the opponent, could actually lead to your own instant death.

However, it works quite well when used with Captain Derkan.

When three chibi-style Derkans are mixed together, the other party, in a state of panic, won't even bother to distinguish the differences between them.

Furthermore, the man in the tuxedo was very confident in his intelligence.

He basically concluded that these chibi versions of Dekan were all Captain Dekan.

So they were completely unaware that there was another being mixed in who could inflict the "Enraged" status.

The man in the tuxedo was so upset that he didn't even know why he was so angry.

He only thought he was in a state of confusion and that he was genuinely angry!

In fact, he already had mental problems; his thinking ability and rationality had been greatly reduced.

......

The cockpit at this moment.

"Well, it's about time. It's time to send the 'little dress' on its way."

Dekan propped his feet up on the console, clasped his hands behind his head, and leaned against the back of the passenger seat.

He clearly considered this his seat.

They had no intention of returning to the passenger cabin.

Isn't this seat and this view much more comfortable than first class?

For a moment, Dekan even began to understand the hijackers' joy.

As for why Dekan is here.

the reason is simple.

He had already changed himself into a stand-in doll when he set off this morning.

This [Substitute Doll] was borrowed by Dekan from Chloeux.

Tier 3 purple rare cards are too expensive; Dekan can't afford them.

In addition, the [Substitute Doll] is not an essential card that every member of the team needs to have.

It's enough if only one person has it.

Before leaving the dormitory in the morning, Dekan transformed into a cat spirit and hid in his luggage.

When boarding, Dekan Cat was stored in the overhead luggage compartment by his Stand doll.

So Dekan hid in the luggage compartment and controlled the stand-in doll.

Later, when the ship was rocking and a hijacking occurred, Dekan quickly ran from the baggage compartment to the cockpit.

They easily ambushed and took down two bandits.

The two bandits had no idea that Dekan would come, nor did they waste their magic power to maintain pain shielding.

Having had ample time to prepare, Dekan hid in the shadows, hypnotized himself, and then revealed himself to deal with one of them with a 60-fold heartache attack.

He then immediately used the [Ruined Poet] buff to unleash a blood purification technique that caused ten times the pain, evaporating the blood and torturing the other until he was unconscious.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to use [Blood Purification] to cause the blood-steaming effect on humans.

The necessary condition for [Blood Purification] to purify the enemy's blood is that the enemy is of a "different race".

However, when Dekan uses his Elf Cat form, he can successfully pass the inter-race detection!

Purify is a very convenient instant-cast, non-trajectory, target-locking damage spell for Dekan.

Unfortunately.

When Dekan arrived at the cockpit, only two bandits and the pilot remained.

Apart from the pilot who needed to steer the ship, the other crew members had been abandoned on the magic airship by the hijackers as useless individuals.

Dekan had no chance to save them.

The only thing we can do is avenge them.

"Don't be nervous, you're safe now."

Dekan put down the broadcast device, smiled, and patted the driver on the shoulder.

He hoped to make the driver feel more at ease.

"Hmm...okay..."

Despite the pilot's best efforts to control the airship, his body was still trembling uncontrollably.

The driver knew that his crisis was mostly over and that someone had rescued him.

But this guy who killed the robber seems even worse off than the robber!

Who knows if he's double-crossing someone!

Perhaps the real disaster is just around the corner!

The driver had little hope of making it back to Earth alive.

His greatest wish now is to have one last drink before he dies...

Seeing the driver's reaction, Dekan shook his head regretfully.

Why does the driver seem so unsafe?

Dekan felt that his actions were nothing short of a miraculous heroic entrance...

[Illustrations for Volume 3]

The illustrations for Volume 3 have been released ahead of schedule! The scenes depicted correspond to the opening scenes of the Shadow World in this volume.

(It seems like I've given away a little spoiler...)

Anyway, these two are definitely not going to do anything good by wearing these clothes (swindling).

I hope the picture won't be sent.

Then, due to Hedgehog Cat's upload restrictions, the original image cannot be uploaded; only a low-resolution version can be uploaded. The 7MB image was compressed to 450KB, which was very painful.

The ultra-high-resolution original image is in group 948957812.

If the images have been sent, I'll have to re-upload them, and you might have to refresh the chapter to see them again.

Please forgive me for taking the day off today... I'm really struggling with four hours of exams every day for two days in a row...

Of course, using illustrations as leave slips is a method that can probably only be used once or twice at most.

It's a bit too much to handle...

Here are two more individual photos that are a bit clearer.

100 Dekan didn't think he was in any danger.

Well, the rest is quite simple.

Once the man in the tuxedo is eliminated, the magic airship will be completely safe.

In reality, it would be quite difficult for Dekan to defeat a well-prepared enemy like the man in the tuxedo head-on.

However, it's a question of whether it's possible to kill the man in the tuxedo.

Dekan has quite a few solutions.

For example, right now.

Dekan planned to stay in the cockpit and send off the man in funeral clothes.

The man in the formal attire is probably on the verge of a mental breakdown due to the influence of Captain Derkan and Company Commander Derkan.

Just give the man in the tuxedo another push.

To completely strip him of his reason.

He would become a toy that Dekan could play with at will.

As for this final card that destroyed the man in the tuxedo, it was the last one to break his composure.

Dekan happens to have some.

That's a large-scale mental interference spell card—

[Three Corpses Rampage]!
