The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

But the thought that Chloecus would join the Shadow World next time made Cat Teacher very worried.

It fears that Chloeux will also integrate perfectly into the team.

"Mollion, don't blame me. This is to help Flora fulfill her own dream. How could I possibly be hung up on you because of a bunch of [bandit goblins]? Hehehehe."

Dekan was still laughing.

Cornelia couldn't hold back any longer either.

"..."

Teacher Cat turned her head away.

It had begun to feel sorry for its good friend Morion.

"You two must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have met each other, meow..."

The cat teacher muttered something under his breath, then jumped into Cornelia's arms.

"It's hopeless, it's hopeless, meow..."

And so it went, amidst the cat teacher's complaints.

The Beautiful Minds team's third Shadow World Challenge has come to a successful conclusion.

[Monthly Pass Bounty]

[1 extra chapter for every 500 monthly votes, with no upper limit]

这个月票悬赏从7月1号就开始了，整个7月一直有效，直到7月31号24：00。

We've already received 6700 monthly votes, so we're guaranteed an extra 14 chapters next month.

In July, Xixi Dog has been working diligently to pay back the previous chapters and is able to pay back most of the previous debts.

Looking at the monthly ticket rankings, I realized I really have a chance to be in the top three this month.

If I can get a spot on the splash screen for a day if I'm in the top three, I feel like this is my only chance in this lifetime. I want to give it my all, whether I succeed or not.

Actually, I didn't know the power of the opening screen push.

But I dream of Cornelia appearing on the client's splash screen.

So I'm shamelessly writing a separate chapter to ask everyone for votes.

XiXi Dog is really trying his best. This is an original work that's funny and entertaining, so the update speed can't keep up with fanfiction.

The time spent thinking up interesting plot points is actually much longer than the time spent writing. Sometimes, I even delete entire chapters because I'm not satisfied with what I've written.

Even if I write from the moment I wake up until the early hours of the morning, I can probably only manage to write four chapters.

Today's five consecutive wins are even more like a mutation of the XiXi Dog.

Regardless of whether we succeed in climbing the monthly ticket rankings, thank you everyone.

Words cannot express my gratitude. I can only say thank you again and again, and wish you all happiness and good luck every day!

179 Dekan felt the Shadow World was in a hurry.

On the beach in the southwest of the Holy Kingdom.

Under the sun umbrella in the courtyard, Dekan and Cornelia, both wearing sunglasses, lay on beach chairs sunbathing.

They have enjoyed a wonderful seven-day vacation together.

The time limit for the mission in the Shadow World is finally approaching.

"I have to say, this time the movie world is really good, much better than the previous two."

"I'd like to come again."

"I will definitely come to the Holy Kingdom again."

"Just take me with you, meow!"

Although the cat teacher always complains that Dekan is not human, after it has enjoyed itself, it still obediently sticks to Dekan Cornelia.

Finally, the countdown to the end of the movie world began amidst their satisfied expressions.

After being forcibly teleported out of the Shadow World, they were temporarily placed in a familiar small critical space.

This is a temporary place between the shadow world and the real world, used to settle rewards.

Soon, the task interface also started updating, as if it wanted to drive them away.

[The Secret Story of the Withering of the Sacred Ritual in the Shadow World has been completed]

[Calculation in progress]

[Evaluation being generated]

Due to the high degree of team coordination, a team-based settlement method will be adopted.

[Challengers: Dekan, Cornelia, and Demi]

"Wait, who is Demi?"

Dekan asked, somewhat puzzled.

The cat teacher got so angry that she jumped on his head and started pulling at his hair.

"It's me, Demi, meow! You've known me for so long and you still don't know my name?!"

"Huh? I thought your name was Cat Teacher."

Dekan replied, feigning surprise.

This made Teacher Cat even angrier!

"I'm not going home today, meow! I'm going to stay with Cornelia!"

"Does it matter who lives with us?"

"Meow...it seems so..."

While they were chatting, the Shadow World was continuously updating its settlement information.

[In this story-driven world, I successfully unlocked hidden mission objectives 2 and 3 through unconventional means, successfully defeated the final formidable enemy, Countess Lislina, and successfully induced Marquis Roderick to self-destruct.]

The team has achieved the following accomplishments.

【I've had enough of you E - Using unconventional methods, the difficulty of completing the Shadow World was forcibly disrupted at an excessively early timeline】

[Poverty-stricken village creator A – earned more monetary resources than its limit in a small town]

[Absolutely no decryption S - Successfully complete the game without following the original mechanics of the Shadow World]

[Blood Calamity SSS - Causes the death of 1 Blood Marquis, kills 1 Blood Count, and 5 Tier 6 Blood Followers]

[Educational Enlightenment E - This time you didn't damage any pianos]

……

[Seven-Day Trip to the Holy Kingdom A - Achieved an accomplishment that contradicts the style of this film world]

Upon seeing this, Dekan frowned.

Could this "I've been putting up with you for a long time" be what the Shadow World wants to say?

And isn't the concept of "rites and music enlightenment" a bit too prejudiced?

[Achievements summarized, evaluations generated]

You are an unpredictable nightmare, for both the vampires and the Holy Kingdom. Nevertheless, many have survived on the southern border of the Holy Kingdom because of you, even though this history is no longer remembered.

Overall Team Rating: SSS

[Due to Dekan's high level of synergy with another non-team challenger and their significant contribution to achieving the mission objective, they will be granted the Synergy trait.]

[Dekan & Morion gain the Synergy Trait: Collusion]

[Colluding: When the two appear in the same Shadow World, Dekan has a higher probability of obtaining an official position, while Morion has a higher probability of obtaining a merchant position.]

Looking at the prompts, Dekan had a feeling that the Shadow World was very aggressive today.

[Rewards Settlement: Rank Increase (Dekan Tier 3 → Tier 4, Cornelia Tier 4 → Tier 4, Demi Tier 5 → Tier 5), Blood Destruction (Tier 6 Epic Spell Card)]

"Why is there only one cat this time?"

"After all, it's a Tier 6 Epic Spell Card, not bad. There might also be a slightly inferior card or material that went to Morion."

Logically speaking, a card with such an overbearing name should have a very strong effect.

Dekan caught the spell card that was floating in the air, with orange arcs of electricity occasionally surging across its surface.

"As expected of a Tier 6 Epic Card."

The terrifying magical energy contained within this card was felt by Dekan the instant he touched it.

[Destruction of Blood]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 6]

[Effect: After a 10-second cast time, clears all status effects and disables all equipment effects, deals devastating damage to the caster, and inflicts equal damage and destruction effects on all living and non-living entities within range. Cooldown: 30 days.]

[Note: This was the last spell used by the Marquis of Roderick before his death.]

"Meow?"

Teacher Cat, perched on Dekan's head, looked at the card's effect, somewhat bewildered.

"..."

Dekan also fell silent; he finally fully felt the malice emanating from the Shadow World.

The final reward in the Shadow World will be related to contribution points and the enemies defeated or loot acquired in the Shadow World.

This time, they defeated their strongest enemy, the Marquis of Roderick.

Logically speaking, if you're only given a single card for an SSS rating, you should at least be given a Tier 6 Epic card.
