The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

because.

He expected this devil to perform a series of routine actions such as breaking contracts and defaulting on debts.

That way, he can finally give this dishonest and stubborn devil a good beating.

Having spent so much time figuring out the demon's true nature, and having successfully laid out tactics with Morion outside the door, Dekan was quite certain that if the demon dared to renege on her promise, she would be in for a world of hurt.

Artis looks very conflicted right now.

It seems a decision is about to be made.

If Artis really does honestly choose to keep her promise.

Dekan lost interest in tormenting her.

No matter what the enemy is.

Dekan only likes to toy with villains.

Or rather, Dekan had no interest in torturing good people; he only felt extreme resistance to it.

It now seems that Artis is going to break the contract, since she has completely thrown away that maid outfit.

"I can't do it, just kill me."

Artis shook her head with her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes trembling, and a few crystal tears seemed to have already spilled from the corners of her eyes.

She quickly covered her cheek with one hand and clenched her fist with the other.

"?"

Dekan frowned deeply as he watched Artis's reaction.

This time it wasn't acting; he was genuinely at his wit's end.

He never expected Artis to say such a thing.

Big sister, you're a demon!

Just like the teachers at the Demon Academy, just like the guards and prisoners on the first few floors!

When faced with something that harms you, you should gamble and break the rules, even if it means renege on your debts!

How can you act as if you'd rather die than break a promise?

"Are you out of your mind? Shouldn't you try to kill me now, then break the agreement and pretend nothing happened? That way you could even keep that unique human outside for some serious research. How about it, aren't you tempted?"

Dekan whispered repeatedly beside Artis like a demon.

He was tempting Artis to take action.

At the same time, [Three Corpses Frenzy] was triggered.

He could not accept the ending of Artis's suicide.

He just wanted to see.

Did Artis genuinely want to end this wager in a different way, or did she have ulterior motives?

"Waaah..."

After being affected by the [Three Corpses Frenzy], Artis's tears finally fell like beads, as if she had lost all will to live.

Not only did she have no intention of attacking Dekan, she even began to use magic; she truly wanted to destroy herself!

"I'll save you! Morion, come to my rescue!"

"Hey, wait a minute, big sister! If you die, who am I supposed to ask for information from? You can't just renege on your promise like this!"

Dekan quickly summoned Morion to counteract the effects of [Three Corpses Frenzy] and stopped Artis's self-destruction.

After regaining consciousness, Artis's eyes were still somewhat vacant.

Having just suffered a crushing defeat and realizing she couldn't keep her promise, she is currently in a very low mood.

It seems the more she thinks about it, the more wronged she feels.

"Waaah..."

Artis burst into tears like a fragile young girl.

It seems she has finally shed her disguise and revealed her true self.

"No way... is this really your personality...?"

This stunned Dekan.

Where did your arrogant and overbearing demeanor go from when you were first here, you devil?

At least try to be stubborn!

The current situation makes it seem as if Dekan is a bully, harassing an honest and kind girl!

What are the viewers supposed to think?!

Although Dekan no longer cares about public opinion.

However, Dekan himself strongly disapproved of bullying honest people.

However, even Morion, who had just entered the study, looked at Dekan with disdain.

"Ugh! I give up on you, you old devil!"

Dekan complained, holding his head.

"What serious illness do you have? How can a demon have this kind of personality?! So all that was just a hard shell and a protective layer for you? You can't possibly tell me you're actually socially awkward and that spending so much time in prison has made you even less good at socializing, can you?!"

If Dekan hadn't actually met someone with such a personality, he wouldn't have believed that there could be an eighth-order socially anxious person in the world who appeared arrogant and cold on the surface but was actually weak and pitiful in reality.

"How did you know...?"

Artis sniffled, looking aggrieved, and replied in a low voice.

"My God! I can't stay on this floor for even a second longer."

Dekan seems to be developing a bit of Ice Queen PTSD.

He still can't figure out how the half-elf Artemis, who made his blood pressure spike back then, works.

Although Dekan later retaliated.

But something just doesn't feel right.

It's not fun at all to bully or retaliate against this kind of person!

Disappointed!

Utterly disappointed!

Dekan was truly terrified of this guy who looked like prey but was actually like poison to him.

Dekan pinched the bridge of his nose.

I feel so tired.

Torture her now, but letting her go is also not an option.

She would never dance in that maid outfit, no matter what. If you asked her, she'd say it was suicide, and she really would.

Continuing to pressure her would feel like forcing a virtuous woman into prostitution.

"You are truly a chaste and virtuous woman. I don't even know how to praise you enough, Miss Artis. I'm completely impressed."

Dekan could only shake his head with a troubled expression and give Artis a thumbs up.

He was too lazy to waste any more time.

There are still things I need to ask her.

"Then, the bet..."

"Artis asked weakly."

"Just waive all the intelligence and teleportation fees for me. What else can I do? Sigh, I'm unlucky to have met a devil like you."

Dekan was filled with resentment.

He didn't want to waste any more time, nor did he want to see Artis again.

Seeing her makes me angry.

If this were in the modern world, he would have plenty of time.

Anyone who dares to provoke him first will find their villainous radar misses its target.

Even if he is truly a kind and good person, he will still leave a deep impression on that person.

But we're in the movie world now, so putting aside the time issue, it wouldn't make any sense for him to do this.

Dekan's favorite thing about the Demon Realm is that torturing these demons is incredibly pleasurable.

He doesn't even need to activate the villain radar.

Just catch them and that's it.

The more wicked the villain, the more fun Dekan had to play with him.

How could there be such a scoundrel as Artis in the Demon Realm!

Dekan: "Hurry up and give us the information, then we'll send you to the next level for free."

Artis: "Yes, the next level is the Exile Zone. The warden there has eighth-tier strength, but there are many restrictions."

Dekan: "What about the warden's intelligence?"

Artis: "The warden is not only skilled in magic, but also very strong in close combat. He is a very strong person in terms of overall strength among the ninth rank."

"How do we deal with this...?"

Dekan felt that the warden was going to be even harder to beat.

The warden already possesses resistance to magic.

If the warden were just a fragile mage, that would be fine.

However, what if it is a magic-immune mage who is unaffected by magical effects?

Dekan really thinks this boss is tough.
