The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

On the plains of the Kingdom of Norton.

A deep red flame streaked across the sky.

Wherever it passes, it is like a blot out the sky.

The temperature seemed to make even the cold winter feel a little warmer.

However, this is an abnormal temperature change that would make any living organism uneasy.

It was as if the moment this fiery shadow descended, everything would turn into a scorched hell.

Tristan City.

Ice Princess put down her cup, stood up abruptly, and looked out the window.

She sensed something terrifying was getting closer and closer to Tristine City.

She gazed into the distance, frowning, as if trying to discern something.

【Destroyer King - Zestell】

[Category: Summoning Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 8]

[Effect: Immune to all crowd control effects; instantly resurrects upon death; 1-hour cooldown. Each resurrection deals massive area-of-effect damage.]

[Note: Destruction! Rebirth!]

Ice Princess quickly obtained the results of her assessment, and her expression became extremely solemn.

Without hesitation, she used wind magic to fly towards the direction from which the [Destroyer of Annihilation] was attacking outside the city, leaving a frosty afterimage in the air.

The entrance to Tristan Magic Academy.

Dekan poked his head out of the carriage and raised his binoculars to look at the tiny black shadow in the distant sky.

He could roughly recognize it without needing any identification.

This is the trump card held by the Bishop of Destruction, one of the ten cardinals of the Church of Resurrection.

"No way, Fu, are you a sore loser? How can Ice Princess possibly fight this thing?"

Dekan put down his binoculars and returned to the carriage, his brow furrowed.

The lack of control negates Ice Princess's greatest strength.

Even with its resurrection, the Ice Princess, with its low damage output, simply can't outlast it.

It can also cause chaos in the battlefield. Ice Princess can't fight it in the town at all; she has to go out of the city to intercept it.

To be honest, Dekan is now thinking about going straight back to the capital to go to school.

Maybe I can still make it to the last class this afternoon.

Ice Princess, you might as well die.

Besides this "Destroyer King," there is also a bishop's confidant who can fight against the Ice Princess, hiding in the shadows.

The bishop's confidant possessed the epic spell card that could enslave the Ice Princess, and was ready at any moment to defeat and enslave her in one blow.

It can be said that it is already covered in ice and snow.

If it weren't for Ice Princess's aloofness and arrogance...

If only she could cooperate even a little with Dekan's preparation plan.

Things wouldn't be that complicated.

All I can say is that this woman's brain is made of ice.

However, Dekan still wanted to try to save her.

Because she's not bad.

Ice Princess immediately chose to leave the city to intercept the [Demon King of Destruction].

If she were truly indifferent to everything, there would be no need for her to fight so resolutely against an eighth-tier epic summon that she had no chance of winning.

"Dekan, what should we do?"

Seeing Dekan's troubled expression, the lord panicked as well.

This was the first time he had ever seen Dekan wear his annoyance on his face.

"I can't say for sure whether I can save Ice Princess right now, because it depends on whether my companions are willing to go on the adventure with me."

Dekan replied.

Then Dekan looked at Chloeux and asked:

"Chloix, do you want to go for something big, or should we just take the lord and run away?"

K: "Is it dangerous to dabble in big things?"

De: "If we go on a high-stakes spree, we two good buddies might both be finished. But if we succeed, the king will at least personally entertain us."

K: "You don't actually want to kill this [Demon Lord of Destruction], do you?"

Germany: "Be bolder."

K: "So... you still want to capture that cardinal's confidant alive?"

Germany: "Be bolder."

"..."

This time, Chloeux remained silent for a few seconds.

A terrifying possibility gradually came to his mind.

He asked rather tentatively:

"...You wouldn't happen to have your eye on Archbishop Evans of Ruin, would you?"

Dekan nodded:

"I always feel like that guy is showing off from afar. I can't stand it. I'm going to punish him."

"..."

At this moment, the lord, who was sitting next to them listening to their conversation, was so frightened that his mouth dropped open.

He was dumbfounded.

If anyone else were sitting here, they would definitely think Dekan is crazy!

Is Evans the enemy you should be worrying about right now?

And so, you weren't frowning because you were upset.

Is it because you can't stand people showing off?

117 Ice Princess was filled with regret.

"Then, what about me?"

Cornelia pointed to herself, moved a little closer to Dekan, and asked.

"Uh......"

Dekan scratched his head.

Although he had finally reunited with Cornelia, he was able to experience a rare moment of profound peace of mind once again.

But he would have to part ways with Cornelia again for the time being.

"Cornelia, you'll be mainly in charge of logistics this time. You've already worked hard enough by helping me move the goods over. If you do something really good for me, you can go to the lord's manor to rest. It's amazing there."

Dekan looked into her eyes and said earnestly.

The [Destroyer King] they were going to deal with this time was far too huge.

Moreover, Cornelia's rank is too far below its own, so they can't fight each other head-on.

Bringing Cornelia along would only put her in danger.

So this time, Dekan gave her other tasks.

"Oh, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner."

Cornelia answered quite happily.

She didn't care at all what kind of job she did.

As long as it gets done, that's fine.

We'll listen to Dekan.

Moreover, her expression couldn't hide her anticipation for the seven-star Lord's Mansion that Dekan had mentioned.

"Meow! I want to go back to the hotel early too!"

Hearing that it was a trip, Cat Teacher naturally came along with Cornelia and Chloeux.

It had been entrusted by Dekan to accompany Cornelia.

Cornelia even took him home these past two days.

Even it had the illusion that "its owner is not home and the cat has been fostered at a friend's house."

However, it believes this must be an illusion.

How could a dignified cat teacher possibly be a house cat?

"You're no good. You'd better come with me and do the work!"

Dekan grabbed the cat teacher by the scruff of the neck from beside him and looked at it, saying...

Teacher Cat can hide in the shadows, after all.

Dekan doesn't need to worry too much about its survival.

Although it's a real slacker.
