The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"roll."

Not wanting to attract a large number of guards, Clay said in a deep voice, then rushed forward as if he couldn't see Arik.

"Then go to die!"

Arik sneered as he summoned his divine armor and attacked Clay without mercy.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if we kill these suspicious people as Resurrected cultists today!

No one can be so arrogant in front of him!

Suppressing his anger, Clay grabbed Arik's head and slammed it into the ground. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the cobblestones of the alley, centered on Arik's head.

Although Clay really wanted to bury Arik in the ground, he didn't have that much free time right now.

Clay then quickly left the scene.

……

Several tens of seconds later.

When the patrol knights arrived at the scene after hearing the loud noise, they only saw cracks in the ground, but no one was in sight.

In a nearby alley.

Cornelia was dragging a unconscious humanoid into a dilapidated hut.

The humanoid figure had a burlap sack over its head.

It was clearly Arik, who had just been knocked unconscious.

"Yes, yes, we've got it."

Cornelia dragged Arik to Mier's feet and put him down.

Mir, observing Cornelia's skillful execution, roughly understood that Cornelia had done this many times before.

Mir flicked the syringe in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Let's make him demented first."

Mier then injected the drug into Arik's neck.

With the sack on his head, Arik convulsed violently like a live fish thrown to the ground. After a while, his limbs stopped struggling and his head tilted to the side.

And on the carriage not far away.

Mia and Cornelia were both somewhat dazed, while only Nyanko-sensei stood on the map, directing the direction of travel.

They were just two [stand-in dolls].

This morning, their real selves did not attend the meeting, but instead hid in the nearby streets early on.

Decan and Mie had long since guessed the course of action of the northern states—

They wanted to hide behind the scenes and stab the Beautiful Minds team in the back.

However, it's not advisable for the Beautiful Minds team to target the teams from the northern countries right from the start, as this could result in punishment from the Kingdom Federation or even disqualification from the assessment.

Their team didn't really like being the mantis; they were more used to being the oriole.

Therefore, Mia and Cornelia's task was to hold back the forces from the northern kingdoms to ensure that these guys wouldn't interfere with Dekan.

The carriage's route was planned in advance.

In Dekan's plan, Clay's movement route could be roughly predicted.

With a little guidance, it's highly likely that Kree and the northern nations' forces will run into each other.

Of course, whether you'll run into them, and whether a fight will break out, all depends on luck.

If we run into Klay, we might be able to squeeze him dry even more.

Even without encountering Kree, Mier assured Dekan that she had a way to trap the entire northern nations' forces.

She felt that containing the enemy was too troublesome and wanted to eliminate them all once and for all.

After all, they are still taking care of their children.

Tata started the day following Mia and Cornelia.

Hiding in the small house, Tata watched her two older sisters' actions and couldn't help but tremble.

Mier checked the time, then moved his fingertips lightly across the map, roughly estimating the location where the other four people would be guided by the carriage to the vicinity next time.

"Cornelia, just stay here and watch over this guy on the ground. Don't let him go anywhere else."

"Okay! Mia, be careful!"

"Well, don't worry."

After saying this, Mier put on his hood and walked out of the dilapidated hut alone.

206 Dekan's slam dunk with the blame on him

In the VIP room of the Innot Club.

The room, which should have been filled with an atmosphere of entertainment, is now filled with an academic atmosphere, much like a classroom.

Fahim had turned the card table into his desk.

Fahim, wearing glasses, was intently studying the magic circle.

He suddenly felt a pang of anxiety and stopped what he was doing.

"What... noise?"

Fahim frowned, put down the blueprints in his hand, and listened quietly to the situation.

He had already silently used the [Corrosion and Destruction] spell to silence every staff member who remained at the club.

Corrosion and damage

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 7]

[Effect: Applies the "Corrosion" status to all designated targets within a 100-meter radius. Under the Corrosion status, the body will gradually rot and decay for 60 seconds. The Corrosion status cannot be removed through purification.]

[Note: Accelerate Life]

This spell card triggers without any visible sound, and Fahim often uses it to kill without anyone noticing.

There shouldn't be any other living creatures in the club now, except for "Clay" who just went out for a walk.

Fahim traveled extensively throughout the year, often staying overnight in rural homes, but no commoner would remember what he looked like.

Almost everyone who saw him vanished overnight.

The only way to deal with the "Corrosion" status is to force it to dispel it or simply endure it.

Any weakling who gets hit by the Fahim card is doomed.

At least a level 7 priest is needed to survive those 60 seconds using the healing effects of holy magic.

Of course, Fahim also has other cards that "reduce healing effects" to synergize with this core spell.

[Human Body Damage]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 4]

[Effect: Quickly destroys the enemy's body. The higher the user's magic attribute or the lower the enemy's physical attribute, the greater the destruction. It also inflicts a "severely injured" status on the enemy, reducing the healing effect they receive by 80%.]

[Note: Not even bones will be left for you]

Even without relying on this spell card, Fahim himself can use similar spells.

After all, this was forbidden magic created by him.

However, the effect and release speed are far inferior to releasing it using this epic card, his greatest masterpiece, as the medium.

Therefore, even the Sun God Cult would equip its expeditionary force with several priests, or even eighth-rank priests, before it would hunt down Fahim.

......

Outside the club.

At the horizon, a figure sped toward the Innot Club, arriving at the club's entrance in just a few seconds.

As soon as Clay burst into the club, his eyes were immediately drawn to several sets of clothes laid out on the floor of the lobby.

There were only clothes, but no one in sight, as if the owner of the clothes had vanished into thin air.

The air was filled with a stench even more nauseating than that of a rotting corpse.

This is undoubtedly a masterpiece created after Fahim destroyed human bodies.

It is clear that Fahim has destroyed the bodies of these workers to the point of leaving nothing behind.

However, aside from the club staff's clothes, Klay immediately spotted a familiar set of clothes not far from the entrance.

Clay remembered that these were the clothes Morion had worn yesterday.

The owner of this outfit seemed to have been lying on the ground for a long time before he died, and was almost able to escape.

However, it was all just a struggle, and in the end, it was completely evaporated in despair.

no doubt.

Morion has already suffered the cruel fate of Fahim.

Fahim, seemingly filled with a wicked sense of humor, deliberately allowed Clay to see Morion's last belongings as soon as he entered the door, causing Morion to struggle to the entrance.

Looking at this nightmarish scene, Clay clutched his head, feeling as if something in his mind had shattered into pieces.

Clay was filled with intense guilt and pain.

Although he lost a lot of money yesterday.

But he doesn't dislike Morion.
