The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

It seems that, apart from the leader, the others had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

But I didn't dare to ask.

But if they don't ask, they'll always feel uncertain.

The figure in the main seat did not speak, but simply raised his palm slightly.

Then a card radiating a dazzling orange light floated in her palm.

[True Word Blood Pact]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 7]

[Effect: Can be activated on targets below rank 9 who have lost their ability or will to fight. The target will swear an oath, reciting their true name, identifying their race, and determining their gender.]

If all answers are correct, a master-servant contract will be forcibly signed with the target.

If two answers are correct and one is incorrect, a one-year cooling-off period will apply.

If you get one right and two wrong, this card will be soul-bound to your opponent.

If all of these are wrong, you will be enslaved by the other side.

This card will disappear after the contract is successfully signed.

[Note: Originally created to combat the immortal bloodline, this forbidden magic eventually ended up in a world it shouldn't have belonged to.]

"miracle!"

God bless my church!

The moment they saw the card, all the members were excited.

This card was not made by anyone.

It was not a magical creation that this world could have constructed.

These extraordinary cards can only be naturally produced in the Shadow World.

After obtaining the card, the Church of Resurrection quickly began to plot around it.

Theoretically, this [True Word Blood Pact] can be used to enslave up to one eighth-tier powerhouse.

However, the condition to be met is to "make the opponent lose their will and ability to fight," which means to coerce or completely defeat them.

If they rashly try to target an eighth-tier powerhouse, they might pay a heavy price before the card even meets the usage requirements.

In addition, it is necessary to fully understand the target's real name and race, leaving no room for error.

Otherwise, the huge amount of human and material resources invested will be wasted.

If the declaration is wrong, even if there is another opportunity to use the card in the future, the existence of the card will be exposed due to the failure of the operation, making all potential targets extra vigilant.

In an even worse scenario, if two declarations are wrong, the card might be given directly to the enemy.

Of course, this is highly unlikely.

They had already conducted thorough investigations into their target.

Even if we take a step back and assume we're just guessing, it's impossible for us to be wrong about two things, right?

104 Dekan expressed satisfaction with the welcoming ceremony.

"Leave Ice Princess to me when the time comes; you can focus on completing your missions."

The leader put away the [True Word Blood Pact], his indifferent tone revealing absolute confidence.

She must succeed.

If she fails, even she will not escape the bishop's punishment.

These elite troops will not escape death.

This action is of unparalleled significance to the Church of Resurrection.

If one could use the [True Word Blood Pact] to forcibly enslave a powerful individual.

The optimal choice is to capture an eighth-tier master card maker to maximize the one-time effect benefit of this card.

Eighth-tier combat class is already the top combat power in the world today.

Even so, the benefits of enslaving an eighth-tier combatant are far less than the benefits of capturing an eighth-tier card maker.

If it's a top-tier card maker, then it's even more different.

and.

Card makers' attribute growth potential isn't necessarily as high as that of combat classes, and their combat strength isn't necessarily strong.

For example, Ice Princess, even though she is at the eighth rank and has a set of powerful cards, only has high spirit.

Her magical abilities are not outstanding, and she is also physically fragile.

Even if she uses a high-quality attack spell card, the damage is far less than that of a combat-oriented tier 8 magic class.

And for some reason, Ice Princess almost never creates summon cards.

The only recorded instance was when she summoned an extremely ugly ice slime.

But Ice Princess seems to refer to that slime as a flying dragon.

It can be confirmed that Ice Princess specializes in ice-type spell cards.

If it's a one-on-one battle.

Even a seventh-tier combat class could probably defeat her.

Among the twelve world-renowned card makers certified by the World Association of Card Makers today.

Although Ice Princess is not the weakest in combat, capturing her is the most cost-effective.

The other eleven were either too cautious, wishing they could live in the palace to ensure their safety.

Either their combat power is too strong, even stronger than other combat classes of the same rank.

There are also card makers whom even the Resurrection Church disdains.

There are also those mysterious beings whose true nature is unknown.

In conclusion, the Church of Resurrection determined that Ice Princess was the best choice.

They also successfully determined her ancient real name, her ethnicity, and her gender.

Once we can successfully capture the Ice Princess.

This will bring about a revolutionary change in the fighting power of the Resurrected Church!

Unless they absolutely cannot capture Ice Princess, they will turn their attention to Dekan, the near-top-tier card maker.

Although Dekan's card-making style is more in line with the Church of the Resurrection, and even surpasses the Church of the Resurrection's ideals to some extent.

However, the gap between the third and eighth orders is still too large.

Just like the significant price difference between Tier 3 and Tier 8 epic cards.

Moreover, it is unknown whether Dekan can grow to the eighth rank within his limited lifespan.

As a half-elf, the Ice Princess will have a long lifespan.

This is something that none of the other top-tier human card makers can match.

"Although capturing Dekan could still be a fallback plan, we shouldn't cling to him as a last resort,"

The organizer of the gathering stood up and scanned everyone present once more.

Her words carried a warning tone.

If someone thinks that even if they fail to capture the Ice Princess, they can still capture Dekan to make up for it, then the success rate of the mission will be greatly reduced.

Only by burning our bridges can we get things done.

"Yes."

Everyone watched her leave with respect.

"We should only consider capturing Dekan at all costs if our plan has completely failed."

With these words, the leader walked toward the dimly lit exit of the temple.

Under the slanting rays of the flickering light, it completely merged into the darkness.

......

Tristan City.

The Magic Airship Transportation Center on the outskirts.

The empty magical arena looked impeccably clean.

It shows signs of long-term maintenance.

At the center of the magic circle was a giant landing pad, which was now shimmering with a faint light, indicating that the magic airship was about to land there.

The troops led by Lord Viscount Lampard were already waiting here.

The young lord was dressed in a white knight's uniform, with a silver badge hanging from his waist, signifying his identity and his authority over the area.

His face was serious, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on the sky.

A booming sound came from the outskirts of the city, and it seemed that some flying beast was rushing towards them, accompanied by wind and thunder, in the misty sky.

Although he didn't know much about the specifics of the magical airship.

However, the alarm signal coming from the magic airship must mean that something has happened.

The operating cost of remote communication magic is very high, but there are terminals for communication magic installed between city-states.

There are also simplified mobile terminals on the magic airship.

The attackers destroyed the mobile device immediately upon encountering the attack.

It seems they want to prevent any information from leaking out.
