The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Elaine began to believe, even to be certain, of this possibility!

She suddenly understood a lot and made a new judgment.

"...As expected, you are also a prison guard. We can cooperate, and I am willing to follow your request and help you in the later levels. Actually, I have been staying on this level because I was waiting to cooperate with other prison guards. With the help of other prison guards, the last few levels will be much easier."

Elaine's expression gradually turned cold, as if her entire demeanor had changed, and she had completely shed her disguise.

She knew she couldn't fool Dekan anymore.

The gray-haired demon seems to have a special way of locking onto its own kind.

Moreover, this gray-haired demon understands demons too well.

Now that she was in their hands, they didn't kill her or continue to torture her, but instead talked to her like this.

That means you still have value, and you can use that value to gain a chance to survive!

However, Elaine's answer seemed to surprise Dekan.

"Uh......"

It's clear that she really wants to live.

But Dekan felt she had misunderstood.

The reason I didn't kill her wasn't because I thought she still had value.

Rather, it's simply about preserving that sliver of possibility to prevent accidentally killing an innocent person.

After all, if [Blood Purification] produces a blood-steaming effect, it can only mean that the other party is of a different race.

It's also possible that the other party is a special race within the context of this Shadow World era.

Dekan was unwilling to be tortured into confessing, and without Chloeux present, they didn't know their own strength.

If the other party is actually a good person, then there will be a big problem.

So, without Krishnamurti around, when it comes to interrogations, Dekan always tries to cheat if he can.

"Hehehe, it's great that you confessed so quickly, and your survival instinct is also great. It looks like we're going to have a lot of fun later."

Dekan finally couldn't help but laugh.

Elaine: "??"

Morion looked at Elaine with pity and shook his head.

What a terrible devil! How did he end up in Dekan's hands?

Seeing Elaine's suspicion about the demonic birth, Dekan, being exceptionally merciful, decided to let her die knowing the truth and explained:

"Actually, I'm not sure if you're a demon, because my magic can only determine that you're not human. It's also possible that you're an elf or something."

Upon hearing this, Elaine froze.

So you didn't kill me just now?

Was it really out of...goodwill?

To prevent accidental killing, are they trying to extract information?

Are you kidding me?! How could a demon have any good intentions?!

This gray-haired demon has completely gone mad!

"Utterly hypocritical!! If all of this was just your guess, how could you have attacked me so precisely from the very beginning?!"

Elaine cried out in frustration.

If this gray-haired demon hadn't even confirmed that she was a demon before.

How could they have been so decisive in grabbing her from the very beginning?!

Elaine didn't think her acting had any flaws, and Cornelia clearly believed her at first!

"NONONO!"

Dekan wagged his index finger.

"I'm not targeting you. I'm an egalitarian and I was planning to beat everyone up anyway. You just happened to be the first one I ran into."

Dekan spoke with an air of great compassion and love for all people.

Elaine: "???"

She quickly understood from Dekan's expression.

This devil is no joke!

He was genuinely prepared to beat them up one by one.

No matter how superb the acting skills, how meticulously the traps are set, or how innocent the person pretends to be.

Nothing matters in the face of this gray-haired demon.

There's no way you can fool him!

Because no one can escape his ruthless and impartial enforcement of the law!

"You can't kill me! Even if you kill me, those people will die too. I'm their pillar of support. Do you want to kill them with your own hands?"

After figuring out everything, Elaine racked her brains and found her last, real lifeline.

She discovered the gray-haired demon's concern!

The gray-haired demon seems genuinely unwilling to harm the innocent!

So as long as we make good use of this point.

Perhaps I can still survive and find a chance to escape!

"Oh dear, you've really found my weakness. If I kill you, the survivors will collapse, won't they? I don't want to be the villain."

Dekan tapped his head, looking somewhat troubled.

This made Elaine unable to suppress her joy.

There's definitely potential!

She quickly said, "So you need to..."

"You really underestimate me."

Elaine was interrupted by Dekan's words before she could finish speaking.

"Just watch closely, I will not only not destroy their morale, but I will also give you the most special punishment."

He chuckled and shook his head.

"After all, you're a rare and high-quality demon, so don't break down too soon. You'll have to let me enjoy you properly, okay?"

251 Decan's distinctive Asahi

"What, what are you going to do?!"

Elaine's eyes widened, and she cried out in terror.

But she couldn't move her body.

Now, no matter what Dekan tries to do to her, she is unable to move.

"Don't worry, I'm kind-hearted and won't torment you. This is as a thank you for helping Cornelia earlier."

Dekan smiled, his eyes narrowed.

When he said the word "thank you," his tone seemed to lower slightly.

Elaine looked into Dekan's eyes and noticed that Dekan seemed a little angry.

He clearly understood why Elaine had brought Cornelia here.

Could this red-haired girl be very important to the gray-haired demon?

She wasn't afraid when the gray-haired demon said he was going to kill her.

She would be terrified if she were to be allowed to live.

Because these perverted demons use all sorts of bizarre methods to torture their prey.

She had already experienced the pain that nearly broke her spirit.

She couldn't imagine what kind of hell it would be if this gray-haired demon were tormenting her with all his might.

But what's truly terrifying now is...

The gray-haired demon said he wouldn't torture her.

So what awaits her?

"Let...let me go, I'm still useful to you..."

Elaine's body trembled instinctively, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her lips were slightly parted, quivering incessantly.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Why do you make it sound like I'm the bad guy? And what's wrong with you? Smile and relax."

Dekan raised an eyebrow and said somewhat angrily.

He knew it was normal for him to be feared by villains as a nemesis of evil.

But every time, it scares the thugs like this.

It always made him feel a little uncomfortable.

It must be because of the excessive reactions of these villains that their reputations have been affected.

hateful.

Dekan shook his head and turned away, no longer looking at Elaine.

Cornelia, understanding perfectly, took out ropes and tied them to the warden's corpse and Elaine's feet, preparing to drag them towards the camp.

"No!! Whatever your plans are! If you destroy me, those people will die! You're the one who killed them all!"

Elaine screamed frantically.

This was the only lifeline she could think of.
