The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"Okay, see you tomorrow. I'll succeed."

So, after seeing Cornelia off...

Dekan's relaxed expression turned serious again.

"It's finally time to challenge... the realm above Orange Epic."

He walked into the workshop and looked at his preparations over the past two weeks, talking to himself as if to himself.

182 Dekan Ultimate Happiness Card

The legendary "Red Legendary" is said to be above the "Orange Epic" rank, and many people are unsure whether cards of this rank even exist in the present day.

At least Dekan asked Ice Princess.

She was pretty sure she couldn't make a legendary red card.

She couldn't even make a first-tier red legendary card.

However, Dekan is considering giving it a try this time.

He wanted to see what level of card he could make when he put all his effort into it.

Dekan began by calmly cleaning his workbench.

His workbench was covered with his material calculations and proportions, production process designs, and notes written in magical runes.

He had almost finished tidying up when Cornelia came to visit earlier.

Today, Dekan's card-making workshop has replaced all its equipment with the highest-specification equipment provided by the Card Makers Association.

After clearing the workbench to make it more spacious, Dekan opened the storage cabinet.

Although the cabinet was filled with all sorts of materials, there were several compartmentalized trays on the top shelf.

These are materials that Decan had already prepared in advance.

After removing them, Dekan calmly and skillfully handled the materials, relying on his years of honed technique.

He is not only highly talented and quick to understand, but he has also put in many times more effort than others, honing his basic skills to perfection.

The fact that his dormitory was previously filled with boxes of "Captain Derkan" is the best proof of this.

This time, Dekan is going to make equipment cards.

To make this card, he spent most of his savings to date just on purchasing the materials.

The amount of materials was so exaggerated that even if the wealthy princess Alice came to see Dekan's preparations, she would definitely be amazed and ask Dekan what he was going to make this time.

Because Dekan enjoys the highest level of privilege in the Card Makers Guild branch of the Kingdom of Norton, President Raylen quickly acquired all the materials Dekan needed.

They also offered Decan a significant price discount.

That's why Dekan was able to collect these materials smoothly and quickly.

Most of them are Tier 4 Epic Demon materials.

And the highest quality consumables related to curse magic.

Even though a typical card maker would likely be so nervous handling these materials that their hands would tremble.

However, while Dekan was focused on card production, he maintained a calm and unperturbed mind.

No matter how precious the materials, how valuable the opportunity, or how serious the consequences of failing to produce the card, he could completely ignore them.

Use your best abilities to create magic cards with all your heart.

Several tens of minutes passed before they knew it, and Dekan had completed all the preparations.

"Talomati, are you ready?"

After confirming that all preparations were complete, Dekan called out his master's name in his heart.

"Yes, no problem."

While Dekan rested each day, his master also tried to reverse-analyze the [True Word Blood Pact] mark left on Dekan.

Although it is impossible to reverse the operation of this spell, it cannot be broken.

However, Dekan and his master's goal was not to learn the Blood Pact of Truth, but simply to decipher a portion of its magical principles.

Dekan entrusted the task of analyzing this part entirely to his master.

With her master's knowledge, she had successfully translated the results of her analysis into demonic script.

Dekan closed the door to the card-making workshop, activating the barrier that Chloeix had set up for him.

Then, Dekan walked to the workbench, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had turned completely into a brilliant gold.

Moreover, horns appeared on his right forehead.

He made no attempt to conceal his transformation into a true half-demon—Dekan Taromati.

At this moment, Dekan's body was not entirely under his own control, nor was it under the control of his master, Talomatti.

Rather, they work together as a unified whole.

This is the second time Dekan has collaborated with his master to create magic cards.

He had only collaborated with his master before when creating the [Three Corpses Frenzy].

【Three Corpse Frenzy】is a mental spell mastered by the master, modified and created by Dekan.

If Dekan wanted to learn spells from his master before creating his own cards, it would take at least several months.

It's more efficient to make it together with your master.

But this time the situation is different.

Dekan wants to try to enter the realm of "Red Legend," but he has almost no chance on his own.

So he asked again to work with his master craftsman on the project.

Once in this state, Dekan didn't hesitate much and began mixing the already ground dark attribute magic crystal powder with the curse-specialized magic core liquid to make ink.

Even without deliberate measurement, Dekan could effortlessly mix the perfect proportions.

Practice makes perfect.

Compared to the magic of the ink itself synchronizing with its own, the ink mixed by Decan seems to actively cater to Decan's magic.

After mixing the magic ink, Dekan poured it into the magic pen, then unsealed the magic scroll and engraved the prototype of the equipment he had previously made with high-level materials onto the blank card.

Next comes the most crucial step.

In other words, it is the card maker's rewriting and finalization of the enchantment structure.

It will activate the properties of materials and truly endow equipment cards with attributes.

This process requires the card maker to be completely focused and concentrate all their energy on it.

As Dekan moved his magic pen, he and his master infused their magic power into every magic circuit in perfect balance, inscribing the complex, intertwined, and intricately detailed magical runes on the cards, which were as fine as ants wriggling around.

Dekan burned the discs quickly and skillfully, but due to the large volume of discs being burned, his progress seemed unusually slow.

He seemed to lose all sense of time as he focused on completing this step.

Even as the curtains were already bathed in the light of the rising sun, Dekan remained completely oblivious.

It wasn't until dawn that Dekan finally finished burning the disc in a state of complete absorption.

The unfinished magic card on the workbench was radiating dangerous orange arcs of electricity, seemingly extremely unstable and on the verge of exploding at any moment.

Without hesitation, Dekan moved on to the final stage: debugging, processing, and packaging.

The countless magical inscriptions are connected simultaneously to form a magical energy loop, allowing the magic cards to be recharged and used again after their magic power is depleted.

Although the card production was nearing completion, Dekan's real troubles only began to surface at this point.

The card must function correctly at activation, without conflicting with other structures. Failure to do so will result in the card's immediate destruction, or even its explosion!

Compared to the packaging card, Dekan now looks more like a reckless bomb disposal expert!

"Dekan, if we fail, the explosive force will far exceed your calculations!"

The master warned Dekan in his heart.

She knew that Dekan had increased the complexity of the enchantment during the creation process based on practical feasibility.

Although Dekan has a helmet that locks his health, if the barrier is destroyed and the room collapses, Dekan could still be crushed to death.

"Master, you can trust me!"

"..."

The master didn't say much, but did his best to help Dekan complete his final step, which was almost a gamble with his life.

Perhaps because Dekan was too focused, he didn't notice the change in the card at all.

The change occurred gradually, and Dekan only truly became aware of it after it was completely complete.

That was because Dekan's eyes couldn't withstand the strong light.

The light suddenly appeared the moment I closed my eyes.

A flash of bright light illuminated the room, then gradually faded.

……

"What the hell? Did Dekan's dorm explode?"

"He's making cards! But what exactly did he make at home?!"

Many students passing by exclaimed in surprise when they saw the light emanating from the window of the most famous dormitory room, 404, in the Knights College dormitory building.

Even the curtains couldn't block the dazzling light at all.

Even if an epic card is created, it shouldn't have such exaggerated special effects!

Some couldn't help but wonder, could it be that a legendary red card, unheard of for years, is about to be released?!

"No, Dekan made an epic card, and the glow just now was orange!"

"But it's definitely not your average epic card. I've seen epic cards released before, and they didn't have such a dazzling light!"
