The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

however.

Just as Isabel was about to swing her dagger at Captain Derkan.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

A spell card appeared in her palm without her noticing.

Immediately after releasing it, she successfully cleansed herself of the taunt status and swung the dagger at Dekan with lightning speed.

Dekan didn't seem too surprised that Isabel would use Purification.

However, when he identified the magic card that Isabel had just used, which appeared to be a purification spell, his pupils suddenly contracted!

[The Chosen One of Purification]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Class: 6]

[Effect: Removes a specified abnormal status or control effect from the user, and the user will not be affected by this abnormal status/control effect for 10 minutes. Named spell cards share a 60-minute cooldown; this card's cooldown is not shared with regular cleanse spells.]

[Note: "Don't keep controlling me!"]

122 Dekan seems to be under attack and numb.

Isabel felt an extreme sense of pleasure at the unexpected change in Dekan's expression.

You're so clever, Dekan.

She had already prepared a countermeasure against Dekan's cards.

Using a sixth-tier spell to deal with a first-tier summon is already a great humiliation.

However, she must use [Purified Named One] to completely target [Captain Derkan].

Otherwise, given his hatred for Dekan, he would be endlessly tormented by Dekan using the "Captain Dekan" ability!

Only by completely getting rid of this damned state of "taunt" can we fundamentally break Dekan's tactics.

Also.

Previously, when Isabel was about to capture the Ice Princess and was then silenced by Dekan, she dared not easily give up the Purifying Chosen One for the strange abnormal status of [Silence].

She was worried that if she specifically mentioned the "mute" status, Dekan would immediately give her a bunch of other variant abnormal statuses with similar effects.

However, the mainstream control effect of [Taunt] is different.

Once banned, no matter how many [Captain Derkan] or similar cards Derkan has left, they will no longer be able to taunt Isabel!

Isabel was waiting for just such an opportunity for Dekan to lower his guard!

She wanted to make Dekan think he could hold her back, and then she would take him down in one fell swoop!

Although Dekan's pupils betrayed his panic over the card [Called by Purification].

But he reacted as quickly as possible and hastily activated [Ice Barrier].

A chill permeated the air.

Dekan's body was instantly encased in ice, sealed into an ice sculpture.

[Frost Barrier] Freezes the user, granting them a frost shield that cannot be broken by attacks of level 7 or lower for 30 seconds.

This card will be destroyed by a full-force attack from Isabel, who is at level seven.

But it was perfect for blocking Isabel's sudden attack.

Or rather, Dekan was forced into this situation and had no other choice.

Seeing that Dekan had trapped himself, Isabel sneered and raised the dagger in her hand, swinging it at Dekan in mid-air.

With a single swing, Isabel displayed her powerful martial arts skills.

Several blade marks formed by condensed airflow immediately appeared in the air.

It completely enveloped Dekan!

Dekan felt as if the ice protecting him was being sliced ​​open by countless invisible blades.

"Click-clack!"

Then, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the ice.

The Frost Barrier was instantly shattered.

Dekan's eyes widened, seemingly not expecting the ice barrier to be dispelled so easily.

Their defenses were breached instantly, and even Chloex couldn't get there in time to help Dekan.

Dekan had just emerged from the Ice Barrier ahead of schedule.

He stumbled.

He neither stood firmly nor fell to the ground.

Because he found that he could no longer move his body.

At this moment, let alone making any dodging movements, he could not even lift his feet!

Shadow Imprisonment

[Category: Spell Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Class: 5]

[Effect: After a brief casting period, immobilizes a single target within range for 1 second. The rank difference between the two targets will affect the immobilization duration.]

[Note: A standard work by Shadow Bishop Minos.]

Isabel used this high-level binding spell to immobilize Dekan.

These kinds of unreasonable and forceful control measures, although the control time is extremely short.

However, if the target's rank is too low, it will result in a significantly longer control time.

"Who gave you the audacity to challenge me?"

As she spoke, a cold glint flashed in Isabel's eyes, and she raised her hand again, preparing to swing the dagger at Dekan...

But just as her invisible slash that had just cut through the ice barrier was about to reach Dekan's body.

She seemed to be observing Dekan's desperate expression with great interest.

The dagger stopped in mid-air.

"hehe."

Isabel smiled enigmatically and shook her head.

"Your acting is indeed quite good; you can go even further with your despair. I bet you're laughing inside, aren't you? But believe me, I'll soon make your despair real."

Isabel withdrew her hand and said with a sneer.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at Chloeux, who was standing in the other direction.

Chloeux appeared to be preparing to activate some kind of magic card.

When he was locked onto by Isabel's sharp gaze.

For a fleeting moment, his expression betrayed the panic that his scheme had been exposed.

"Your clever tricks end here."

Isabel stared coldly at Dekan, as if pronouncing his fate.

She knew she had to be wary of Chloex behind her using [Forced Dispel] on her.

Forced dispel can remove the pain shield.

As long as Chloex uses Force Dispel when Isabel attacks Dekan.

With the Thorn Crown (3x pain, invincibility) and Cursed Doll (2x pain feedback) already equipped, Dekan can achieve a 60x pain feedback and win in one hit by summoning the Ruined Bard (10x pain for the enemy).

However, [Pain Shield] is a continuous status spell and has no cooldown or duration.

Even if she is forcibly dispersed, she can quickly resume.

In other words, Chloeux must seize a fleeting opportunity to make the previous tactic successful.

No matter what.

Isabel just wanted to laugh.

The two naive teenagers were so arrogant and conceited that they went too far.

They thought they could fight against the high-ranking officials of the Church of Resurrection in the real world after fighting in the Shadow World.

This kind of tactic, which is so easy to see through like child's play, can only be used to bully ordinary believers.

It seems that the three of them are now at an impasse.

Isabel pointed a dagger at Dekan, while Chloeux held up [Forced Dispel] ready to use it on Isabel at any moment.

If Isabel attacks Dekan, Chloix will remove Isabel's Pain Shield.

However, as long as Isabel doesn't intervene, Dekan and Chloeux are in a helpless situation.

After all, they lack opportunities to launch proactive attacks.

There are only two ways for Dekan to actively inflict a 60x pain attack.

The first method is a 60x heartbreak attack, but this requires Dekan to prepare for a considerable period of time.

Chloeux didn't know if Dekan was ready, so she didn't dare to use [Forced Dispel] first and then let Dekan follow up with the 60x Heartbreak attack.

Furthermore, Dekan's move was launched without any warning.

Chloeux was also unable to time the moment when Dekan actively unleashed the 60x Heartache attack to release [Forced Dispel] and remove the [Pain Shield] for that brief instant.

Whenever Dekan gave Chloeux any signal, Isabel would react even faster.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to win over Isabel by using emotional manipulation!
