The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

The second card is the most crucial spell card in this scheme: [True Word Blood Pact].

The third one is a sealing spell called [Shadow Barrier] specifically designed to ensure a 100% chance of capturing Dekan as a backup!

Shadow Barrier

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 3]

[Effect: After a brief cast, the target is immobilized and will be entangled in Shadow Coil for 30 seconds, making them unable to attack, move, or cast spells. Cannot be cast again for 1 minute after the effect ends.]

[Note: This is a revolutionary improvement on the Ice Barrier by Shadow Archon Minos.]

As long as she uses this card to connect with the [True Word Blood Pact], she can directly begin the ritual to enslave Dekan!

126 Dekan was bound by a master-servant contract.

"Dekan, do you really think you've got this in the bag?"

Isabel stared intently at Dekan with a gloomy expression.

She seemed to hate him, yet also dared not act rashly because she feared him.

A card had unknowingly appeared in the palm of her hand, which was clasped to her chest.

"if not?"

Dekan, who had already transformed back into human form, wore a disdainful smile.

He wore a crown of thorns, held a cursed doll, and stood behind a dilapidated poet, making him appear like an emperor shrouded in black mist.

This is the domineering aura of an absolute victor.

It was as if, in his eyes, Isabel no longer posed any threat.

Logically speaking, at this moment, he could turn Isabel into his toy simply by using Captain Derkan!

Although Dekan cannot kill Isabel, he can restrain her indefinitely.

After all, the offensive pressure is on Isabel.

If this drags on any longer, Bishop Evans of Destruction will have no choice but to retreat.

At that time, it will be a victory for Tristine City!

Seeing Dekan's confidence, Isabel sneered inwardly.

As Isabel's lips curled up at an almost imperceptible angle.

She completed the casting of [Shadow Barrier].

Instantly, the space around Dekan seemed to turn into a dark, misty fog!

One by one, wisps of dark mist instantly formed a fine net of thorns, enveloping Dekan within it!

"Uh!"

The shadows binding Dekan rendered him immobile.

The sudden turn of events left Dekan completely stunned, and he was at a loss for what to do.

This feeling is similar to Dekan using [Ice Barrier].

However, the Shadow Barrier was used to forcibly control him!

......

"juvenile!"

Seeing this from afar, Princess Ice and Snow cried out anxiously.

She never expected Isabelle to have such a backup plan.

Soon, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.

It seems that even the eighth-tier epic summon, [Destroyer King], which she had managed to suppress with great difficulty, would break free.

She was determined to use a seventh-tier spell to break through the Shadow Barrier and save Dekan!

"calm."

However, Chloix sensed the restless magic emanating from the Ice Princess and quickly raised his hand to press down on her chain staff.

"Don't do anything rash. If you let the Demon King of Destruction go, we will really lose."

"Kroix said in a deep voice."

"Then, what about him?!"

Ice Princess's eyes were filled with a shattering unease and panic, and her voice trembled.

Because she had already seen that Isabel had taken out the [True Word Blood Pact] that had left her with psychological trauma.

Next, Isabel will undoubtedly use the [True Word Blood Pact] to enslave Dekan!

The terrifying consequences still fill Ice Princess with dread to this day.

It was Dekan who rescued her from that terrifying nightmare!

However, now it is Dekan who will have to bear this tragic fate in her place.

Chloe remained silent, simply continuing to heal Ice Princess.

The Beautiful Minds Squad's operational guidelines: Never attempt a rescue if a teammate is captured and has not requested assistance.

......

Isabel glanced provocatively in the direction of Ice Princess and Chloeux.

He turned back and looked at Dekan with considerable pity:

"Oh dear, it seems your companions aren't planning to save you."

Isabelle would actually prefer to see the Ice Princess release the Demon King of Destruction to save Dekan.

Then she will have another chance to turn the tables and capture the Ice Princess.

But this is enough for now.

In the event of a market crash, one can secure a safety net and escape unscathed.

Without hesitation, Isabel cast the [True Word Blood Pact] on Dekan, who was enveloped in shadow.

She was certain that the person being controlled in front of her was Dekan, not the [Substitute Doll].

[True Word Blood Pact] cannot be successfully activated on non-living beings.

Moreover, the Broken Poet summoned by Dekan is the best symbol of Dekan himself.

Unbinding an epic card requires consuming a special type of sealed wax, and the unbound card will enter a prolonged state of weakness due to the loss of its soul.

Furthermore, newly unbound epic cards will be sealed and will need to wait for a period of time before they can be reactivated.

Therefore, Dekan did not switch places with anyone else while Isabel was in a coma.

"Well......"

Dekan tried to struggle but it was pointless; the Shadow Binding was not something he could break free of with his own attacks.

His expression was full of resentment, as if he couldn't understand this sudden reversal.

Even if he schemes and plots.

They drove Isabel into a corner.

In the end, you still can't win against the absolute dominance of rank, card quality, and counter cards!

"You may be just one move behind, but that one move is an insurmountable wall."

Isabel sneered, her eyes filled with mockery.

Crimson twilight spread along with the barrier triggered by the [True Word Blood Pact].

The crimson light barrier that had previously driven Ice Princess to the brink of collapse now enveloped Dekan and Isabel.

At the top of the barrier, a black cross representing three questions appeared high in the sky.

They awaited the declaration of the user of the [True Word Blood Pact].

"Name: Dekan; Race: Human; Gender: Male!"

Isabel was absolutely certain that she had given the answer.

She spoke with an overbearing and domineering tone, as if she were the master of this barrier.

The information about Dekan is countless times simpler and easier to investigate than that about Bingxueji!

After Isabel finished answering, all three crosses suddenly tilted towards Isabel.

"Hahahahaha!"

Seeing that the [True Word Blood Pact] had been successfully cast without any surprise, Isabel couldn't help but throw her head back and burst into wild laughter.

Amidst her laughter, three black crosses transformed into streams of light and flowed into her body.

Crimson light surged across the barrier, as if a magical force was forging a pact between Dekan and Isabel.

In an instant, the world changed color, and the space on the ice surface seemed to be illuminated by blood-red light.

A terrifying power of the contract emanated from the barrier, linking Dekan and Isabel.

It was as if an invisible blade had sliced ​​through their fingers and drawn out a little blood, or perhaps the blood, guided by the contract link, sliced ​​through their fingers from the inside out and flowed out, transforming into a seal and being engraved on the barrier.

The barrier then shrank continuously, forming an invisible contract that was imprinted on Dekan and Isabel respectively.

A few more seconds passed, and the Shadow Barrier around Dekan finally dissipated. His eyes were vacant, and he collapsed to the ground as if his body was weak and powerless.

Isabel was very satisfied to see Dekan in this condition.

She could clearly feel the contract between herself and Dekan.

There was no response from Dekan's side, as if he were a soulless puppet waiting for her command.
