The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

As far as Decan knows, if a vote of the bishops were to be held in the synod, and they were able to gather six votes, they could even impeach the pope.

Then a new pope will be elected.

Holders of the dual bishop's certificate will have two votes in the vote.

Of course, it's still too difficult to gather all six votes to depose the Pope.

Even if a ninth-ranking pope is expelled, it's mainly to affect the pope's mentality, making the pope exist in name only.

Those who remain loyal to the Church of the Resurrection will continue to follow the Pope, the supreme leader.

However, if the Pope can indeed be vetoed by six votes, then the resurrected Church has undoubtedly reached the point where it will begin to split.

of course.

The conditions for initiating a duel between bishops are extremely stringent.

First, both parties need to agree.

Under normal circumstances, bishops are unwilling to risk their bishoprics and fight to the death.

Even if you want to fight, the other party is unlikely to agree.

Furthermore, the Pope has explicitly prohibited bishops from using their episcopal certificates to perform such ceremonies privately.

Except for guys like Dekan who openly betray their country.

He is not afraid of the Pope at all.

Furthermore, it would be extremely difficult for the bishop to settle the matter in a one-on-one duel.

Apart from the Bishop of the End and the Bishop of Illusion, it is almost impossible for other bishops to win a fair one-on-one duel without the help of external forces.

Therefore, no one would be foolish enough to risk their life against other bishops.

But now, there is another possibility.

Fahim was driven to the brink of despair.

The bishop duel proposed by Dekan is Fahim's almost only chance to turn the tide!

Although no bishop would agree to a duel when he was low on health and mana.

But in the current situation, whether it's the Pope's ban on bishop duels or whether bishop duels are truly fair, it doesn't matter.

Fahim's top priority is his own survival!

If Dekan really agrees to a one-on-one duel with him.

Then the situation becomes that he can ignore Dekan's reinforcements and take out Dekan first!

Once this rabble loses Dekan's command and assistance, it is no longer a threat!

Fahim will have the opportunity to devour them all with the [Corrupted Alchemy Beast], and then break through the encirclement with the invincible [Corrupted Alchemy Beast].

Even if there are traitorous bishops who want to ambush him, he will still have the strength to fight them!

"you sure?"

Fahim suppressed his excitement and asked Dekan in a low voice.

Dekan remained silent, but simply reached into his robes and triggered the bishop duel mode of the Bishop's Certificate.

Fahim immediately felt a challenge to a duel on his episcopal badge.

If Fahim accepts, then the duel will take place.

Fahim seized the bishop's certificate without hesitation, thus beginning the bishop's duel.

"Hahahaha! Dekan! You've got too big for your britches!!!"

Fahim burst into laughter.

He was like someone who had been parched in the desert and finally received rain.

Even if his condition is terrible right now.

He couldn't figure out how Dekan could beat him in a one-on-one fight!

Dekan's strength is entirely built upon the strength of his teammates.

He needs to coordinate with teammates in order to unleash his full potential as the command center!

Choosing to confront a bishop head-on was undoubtedly the most foolish decision Dekan ever made!

Fahim believed that Dekan must have had some confidence to choose to fight him one-on-one.

but.

Even if Dekan might guess that Fahim had more cards up his sleeve, he could never guess exactly what those cards were.

Dekan will pay a heavy price for his greed and arrogance!

[Corrosion of bone and blood]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 3]

[Effect: Applies the "Corrosion" status to a single target within a 30-meter radius. Under the Corrosion status, the body will gradually rot and decay for 10 seconds. The Corrosion status cannot be removed by purification.]

[Note: Accelerate Life]

If he gets any closer and confirms that Dekan has no chance of escaping, Fahim will immediately use the lower-ranking alternative to [Corruption], [Bone Eater].

This card is much weaker than the area-of-effect spell [Corruption and Destruction], and the [Corruption] status cannot be stacked.

Therefore, Fahim had never used it on Clay before.

but.

This card's cooldown time is now outside of Dekan's calculations!

The fourth-tier Dekan was completely unable to use the sixth-tier spell [Forced Dispel] to remove the [Corrosion] status.

Once Dekan is afflicted with the [Corrosion] status, he will rot away to the point of being nothing but bones in just a few seconds!

Fahim's trump card, "Bone-Corroding Blood," creates an information gap that will become the cause of Dekan's death, leaving Dekan with no chance to retaliate!

Having confirmed that the bishop duel had taken effect, Fahim revealed a sinister smile as he approached Dekan.

The distance between the two gradually shortened to less than thirty meters.

Dekan showed no fear and was completely unaware that death was approaching.

He seemed completely unaware that Fahim was about to use this [Bone-Corroding Blood]!

"Die, Dekan!"

Fahim decisively used corrosive destruction!

At this distance, unless Dekan possesses spatial magic, it's impossible for him to dodge [Bone-Corroding Blood].

Dekan, who was hit and afflicted with the [Corruption] status, also showed a look of panic and astonishment.

He clearly hadn't expected Fahim to have such a trick up his sleeve!

He simply can't get out of this state!

However, in the midst of Dekan's panic...

The next second, the [Corrosion] status was removed by [Forced Dispel] from who-knows-where.

at the same time.

Chloex, who had remained invisible in the sky, finally made her appearance.

He seemed to have no choice but to act, dispelling the [Corruption] status on Dekan to save him.

Fahim frowned slightly as he looked at Chloix in mid-air.

But soon, Fahim broke into a broad smile.

He won.

Although Dekan had escaped the [Corruption] status, he was clutching his chest in pain, as if he was about to collapse to the ground at any moment.

Although a high-ranking mage whom Fahim had not yet discovered helped Dekan survive.

However, Dekan has violated the principle of one-on-one duels between bishops.

Dekan’s episcopal certificate will have a severe backlash against him!

He will needlessly throw away his life!

A fourth-rank Dekan could not possibly withstand the backlash of the Episcopal Certificate!

"Dekan!! You lost! You underestimated the backlash power of the Episcopal Certificate!"

Fahim laughed wildly, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain as he looked at Dekan, who was struggling in pain, as if victory was already in sight.

"Do not!!!"

Dekan roared desperately, as if the backlash from the Episcopal Certificate was making every second unbearable for him.

He might die even faster than if he were afflicted with the [Corruption] status!

Fahim's laughter was piercing, and he shouted to Dekan with obvious rapture:

"Dekan, you probably never expected to mess things up like this, did you?! Your expression is just too tempting..."

"You can't stop, can you?"

Dekan's sudden, playful tone interrupted Fahim's impassioned speech.

He relaxed his chest and looked at Fahim as if nothing had happened.

His previous pain was feigned.

Simply to see Fahim's dramatic rise and fall, and to see his interesting expression.

Fahim was taken aback at first, then the sudden turn of events made his hair stand on end.

His intuition told him that something was wrong.

But he couldn't understand!
