The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

At this moment, Elaine was lying on the ground listening to Cornelia's nonsense.

What kind of distortion of the facts have you all done?!

But she couldn't even lift her eyelids.

All they could do was listen to Cornelia spout nonsense and drivel.

"The four of you worked together to kill the warden?"

Ryan has basically figured out the situation.

Both of the new prisoners seem to be quite strong.

With Cornelia and their help, they might actually have a chance to take down the warden.

"Because they are two rather special support characters, they can control the warden and enhance Elaine's combat power to the eighth tier. So for some reason, Elaine is desperately trying to defeat the warden..."

Cornelia explained according to the story Dekan had told her beforehand.

After hearing Cornelia's words, the mage Ryan glanced at Elaine with a complicated expression, then closed his eyes in anguish.

"Why...why did it have to come to this..."

The mage Ryan murmured to himself in sorrow.

He certainly knew why Elaine did this.

Because if a traitor appears among this group.

The investigation team was poisoned.

The survivors will then be plunged into a terrifying killing game.

I'm afraid no one will survive.

Even Elaine, who seemed to be the most intelligent and strong, probably felt powerless.

But just when she was in despair, she saw an opportunity to fight to the death.

If the warden can be killed, the others can still be saved.

So they risked their lives.

He sacrificed himself to save everyone.

Because it was the only foolish way she could save everyone.

"Who exactly is it?"

Ryan asked in a low voice through gritted teeth.

Although he omitted the complete sentence, Cornelia knew he was asking, "Who is the traitor who poisoned the investigation team?"

As one of only two people who know the truth, Ryan knows that Cornelia cannot be the murderer.

Cornelia's voice became even softer, showing no intention of hiding the truth from the others in the camp:

"The cause of death for the two members of the investigation team was poison in their food. At the time, the only person who handled the distribution of the food was Sister Elaine... When I brought the dying Sister Elaine to the body, I finally determined the cause of their death. They were simply killed by the poisoned food... It was all just a joke played by the Demon Realm Prison."

After hearing this, Ryan stood there stunned, lost in thought.

He then staggered towards the two corpses as if he were going crazy and examined them.

Just as Cornelia had predicted, the outcome was indeed as Cornelia had predicted.

If the murderer wasn't Elaine herself, then the only explanation is that the food was poisoned.

But it's clear that the one who poisoned her couldn't have been Elaine, who sacrificed herself to defeat the warden.

"Then... Elaine didn't have to die... Were we all just played with by the Demon Realm Prison?"

"Um……"

Cornelia nodded.

"Eleanor!! Why are you so stupid! These damned demons, are they so happy to toy with us like this?!"

Ryan's voice sounded exceptionally desolate.

He understood everything.

Elaine didn't have to die.

She was merely a victim!

It was clear that the demon prison had discovered they were living too comfortably.

So they secretly poisoned the food supplies, hoping to sow discord among them.

However, due to the significant information gap, they failed to notice it.

They were completely outmaneuvered by the Demon Realm Prison.

Only after Elaine was sacrificed did they realize it was a trap set by the Demon Realm prison.

If they had found those two bodies sooner, perhaps Elaine wouldn't have been so foolish as to try and take the warden with her.

But everyone understands.

Elaine is such a kind and noble person; given the opportunity to have the two of them attacked by the warden, she would definitely do the same.

The survivors around them heard most of what was going on and roughly understood the situation.

Of all the people at this moment.

The three actors are De, Ke, and Mo.

The other survivors were genuinely deceived.

Only Elaine was completely bewildered.

She lay on the ground, completely unaware of her situation.

What exactly are you trying to pull off?

The survivors were clearly enraged by the "operations of the Demon Realm Prison," but like a flame without fuel, it was quickly extinguished.

As their last intense emotions subsided, only endless despair remained in their eyes.

Even the mage Ryan collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his soul.

just now.

Even if the warden is gone, so what?

They were only stable for a short time.

There will be new wardens and new deadly threats in the future.

They originally thought that as long as Elaine was there, they could survive with her.

But now, the demon realm can easily drive them to the brink of despair by simply tampering with their food rations and adding a little poison.

Elaine died in vain.

Without Elaine, they no longer knew how to go on.

Elaine: "..."

She couldn't speak.

But she is no longer afraid.

Dekan was clearly just trying to scare her.

Anyway, she's about to die, so she won't suffer any more torment.

She gradually came to understand Dekan's goal.

Dekan simply wanted to distance himself from Elaine's death and his actions.

They shouldn't take the blame for causing the deaths of survivors.

It's so hypocritical it's laughable.

……

The atmosphere in the camp felt so oppressive it was suffocating.

Although these survivors were still alive, they all had the expressions of people who were about to die.

The light has faded from my eyes.

Once again, they saw no hope of surviving.

Just when they were at a loss as to whether to continue living aimlessly or to take their own lives sooner.

"You bunch of useless trash!!"

Dekan shouted.

"Ok?"

Everyone stared blankly at Dekan.

Elaine suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

She thought Dekan was ready to finish work.

What's this guy up to now?

"Eleanor's death was meaningless! She deserved to die! She was a complete idiot!"

Dekan continued shouting.

"What do you know?! Shut up!"

This caused everyone else to glare at Dekan with hostility.

This is their final bottom line.

"To save you bunch of trash, she faced an eighth-rank warden and refused to back down, fighting to the very end until she was completely exhausted. Thinking about it now just makes me laugh! Just laugh..."

Dekan continued his tirade, his eyes filled with rage, but tears were already streaming uncontrollably down his cheeks.

"Did she sacrifice herself so that you bunch of dead men would lose so easily to cowardice and then commit suicide like a bunch of idiots?"

Dekan's appearance and his words clearly left the survivors speechless.
