The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

At worst, it'll just crash and burn.

Challengers can also survive until the time limit expires and be teleported back to the real world to resolve the crisis.

People like Dekan can completely abandon their moral burdens and do whatever they want in certain cinematic worlds.

In the real world, Dekan cannot completely let himself go.

Many of his actions in the film industry would land him in jail.

For example, the great deeds they did at the Demon Academy.

"Dekan, are you confident?"

Lord Viscount Lampard hesitated for a long time before asking Dekan with some concern.

The closer he got to the crucial moment, the more he realized that he was out of sync with the other three.

He felt increasingly nervous and experienced strong heart palpitations from time to time.

Although the situation seems very good at the moment.

but.

It might happen soon.

The Church of Resurrection is about to unleash its true power.

If an irresistible disaster were to strike, everything would take a sharp turn for the worse in an instant.

It's possible that not only Ice Princess will be captured.

The entire city of Tristan will be destroyed.

If given the chance to massacre the city, the Church of Resurrection would probably not let it go.

Dekan and Lampard's actions must have thoroughly angered the Church of Resurrection.

Seeing the lord's worried expression, Dekan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't worry, as long as it's not the Pope of the Church of Resurrection who comes, I should be able to find a way."

He patted the lord on the shoulder.

Dekan still had a very high opinion of the lord.

This reliable lord also helped him a lot.

Most importantly, the lord's attitude towards Dekan made Dekan very comfortable.

What he likes most is someone who makes him feel at ease and gives him peace of mind.

Therefore, Dekan decided to at least reveal the truth to the lord.

Dekan is not an arrogant person.

He was very clear about the difference between the real world and the world of the shadows.

In this world, once you get into big trouble.

You may encounter enemies several ranks higher than yourself at any time and be instantly killed.

After all, it's illogical for a protagonist to be at level three while a group of level four enemies just happen to appear and give him experience points.

It only appears in novels that depict cerebral palsy.

Dekan had long wanted to complain about many of the novels he had read in his previous life.

Regardless of whether the villainous team has a clear understanding of the extent of the threat posed by the protagonist.

Even if the protagonist encounters enemies randomly.

It shouldn't always be the case that you just happen to encounter someone who is only slightly higher level than you, right?

It is unreasonable from both a statistical and probabilistic perspective.

Therefore, Dekan was always prepared to face enemies several levels higher than himself.

Even if he returned to his dormitory one day and found a cardinal from the Church of Resurrection sitting on his sofa, he wouldn't be too surprised.

If we really encounter them, it doesn't matter whether we can win or not.

At least Dekan has seriously considered how to play.

Opportunity always favors the prepared and cunning.

However, at present.

Decan believed that the situation in Tristine City wouldn't be too bad.

The Pope must have been subject to certain restrictions that prevented him from personally participating.

Otherwise, there would be no need for much planning, nor for those elite Resurrected cultists to cause trouble.

He can just go and capture Ice Princess directly.

According to the intelligence gathered, the main force sent by the Church of Resurrection was only a confidant of a cardinal.

In other words, the enemy's highest combat strength this time is most likely at the seventh rank.

Even the cardinal couldn't personally deal with the Ice Princess.

"Just trust our professional team."

"Dekan said."

"I have faith in your combat capabilities, and I feel completely at ease with you. But I am worried about the civilians who cannot withstand a devastating attack."

Lampard lowered his head somewhat helplessly.

As a lord, he had too many things to worry about.

He knew that Dekan's combat capabilities were difficult to measure by rank.

After all, Dekan's unique system allows him to create strong crowd control regardless of rank as long as he can execute a combo.

What the lord fears most is the unscrupulous methods employed by the Church of Resurrection.

"Don't worry, civilians will not be threatened much."

Dekan shrugged and explained quite easily.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Church of Resurrection is planning to use its elite fifth and sixth-tier troops to attack Tristine City's key facilities one night."

"For example, attacking the lord's mansion and magic energy station, kidnapping students from Tristine Academy as hostages, or blowing up the prison."

"Then it might threaten the Ice Princess, putting her in a situation where she has no control over her actions during combat."

"And to create a period of time that prevents the Knights and Security Forces of Tristine City from coming to support Princess Ice and Snow."

"Finally, the enemy's main force will try to defeat Ice Princess under these excellent conditions and then take her away."

"However, we have dealt with the Resurrection Cult's elite forces very smoothly, so you don't need to worry too much about the civilians, regardless of whether Ice Princess is safe or not."

"Their next move is most likely that they have prepared countermeasure cards against the Ice Princess, so they probably don't have the energy to harm civilians anymore."

Dekan slowly explained how, as an expert, he judged the Resurrected Church's strategy.

The lord was stunned by what he heard.

You speak so eloquently, it's as if you've personally seen the Resurrection Church's planning proposal.

……

Tristan Cathedral.

Inside the spacious church, only a gentle-looking nun sat.

Sunlight streamed through the church's stained glass, refracting and casting a soft glow that illuminated the area around her as bright as day.

She sat in an inconspicuous spot, her palms clasped together, as if a devout believer were praying.

However, she seemed to sense something, and her body trembled slightly twice.

He seemed to be finding it increasingly difficult to remain calm, and he clenched his teeth.

His expression gradually became ferocious.

She just used scout-type magic to investigate the situation outside.

The entire city of Tristine has become a hell for the Resurrected!

Are the crowd hunting down church members?

This absurd scene, which wouldn't even appear in the world of shadows, made her momentarily doubt whether there was something wrong with her detection spell.

"hehe......"

She placed her hand on her chest, feeling a surge of anger and frustration at Dekan's underworld scheme.

What a shame!

Especially for her, the commander who spearheaded this operation!

She had already considered avoiding Dekan.

Unexpectedly, this kid actually walked right into the line of fire.

They actually managed to disrupt their plans.

"Dekan, you'll regret this!"

She quickly adjusted her mindset.

Shadows swirled around her, and when they dissipated, she had transformed into a completely different person.

His jet-black leather armor was covered with scale-like steel, gleaming with a chilling metallic luster under the sunlight.

Her eyes held a chilling glint, as if they could freeze one's soul.

She was Isabel, a confidante sent by the cardinal.

In her original plan, she was absolutely confident that she could defeat the Ice Princess with a set of counter cards without any interference.

However, things have changed, and she will no longer have the opportunity to fight Ice Princess one-on-one.

Fortunately, this unexpected situation is still within their tolerance level.

Even if those elites were hunted down and restricted to their movements within the city, they would still be able to move around freely.
