The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Putting aside Clay's position as a bishop of the Church of Resurrection, it would be quite difficult to persuade him to cooperate based on this personal grudge alone.

however.

What Dekan didn't expect was...

This guy.

It seems they didn't recognize me?!

Did he really think he was a little succubus jailer?

They have the same hair and eye color, and even look so alike!

Moreover, Clay never seemed to care about intelligence from the Church of Resurrection.

When he saw Cornelia and Chloex, he showed no reaction whatsoever.

Clay had indeed never seen Cornelia or Chloeux's original appearance.

Only Morion insisted on wearing the "Fortune Mask" before coming to this floor.

People like Dekan are too lazy to wear them anymore, and they even have to dye their hair, which is a huge hassle.

According to their mission objective, they all need to escape the Demon Realm together over the next two weeks.

Even if disguising your appearance can fool Clay for a while, it won't fool him for two weeks.

Besides, if we're going to work together to fight the warden, we'll definitely have to go all out.

Once Dekan used those cards, his identity was exposed.

Rather than carrying a bomb in your heart, it's better for everyone to lay their cards on the table and make things clear from the start.

The result was unexpected.

Clay doesn't need to lie at all!

He genuinely didn't notice.

Let's put aside for now how to fool Clay later.

Dekan decided to put this minor issue aside for later.

After he reached the seventh floor, something very puzzling happened.

The view on the seventh floor was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

An unexpected downturn.

"Where is the warden?"

Dekan looked at Clay, leaned closer, and asked with a serious expression.

Clay seemed somewhat at a loss when dealing with this succubus, taking a step back and saying rather impatiently:

"I killed him."

Dekan: "??????"

You truly are a member of a demonic cult!

264 Dekan can always trust his master.

The good news is that the warden is gone.

The seventh floor has been completed quickly.

The Beautiful Mind Squad can use Demon Points to reach the eighth floor directly.

But the problem is-

intelligence.

What about the warden's intelligence?!

Based on the intelligence gathered from the previous levels, it can only be concluded that this ninth-level warden is invincible.

The key information needed to defeat her must lie in the last two layers.

As a result, Dekan hadn't even reached the seventh floor yet.

This clever man killed the jailer.

At this moment, Dekan actually began to understand Fahim's pain.

Being teammates with this mad bishop, Clay, is like having him ruin the game before you even get into it.

Dekan was somewhat affected by the situation.

Right now, I'm mostly confused.

He couldn't understand why, from Clay's perspective, a bishop of the Church of Resurrection would go to such lengths to clear obstacles for the challenger.

The seventh-level warden, Azkasa the Silent, is definitely stronger than a quasi-bishop; he is probably a bishop-level fighter.

Even if Judith and her allies came, they wouldn't be able to defeat them.

Killing this great demon would cost even Klay half his life.

The fact that Clay doesn't seem to be badly injured is purely due to his epic spell passive, [Super Regeneration].

In reality, Clay's mana and energy were far from being at full strength.

Even if they were to actually take action to subdue Clay, it would be much simpler than Dekan had originally anticipated.

Dekan had considered that Clay might be on this floor.

But he certainly didn't expect Clay to risk his life to kill the warden.

It makes no sense from either a standpoint or an interest perspective.

Unless Clay realized early on that this eighth-rank warden possessed extremely important information and then deliberately tried to sabotage it, it would barely align with his stance.

The cost was still too high.

Clay, who has always been free-spirited, doesn't seem like the kind of employee who would be too dedicated to the company's goals, and Dekan feels that Clay shouldn't have this kind of insight and intelligence analysis ability.

Why did you kill him?

Dekan asked, both puzzled and angry.

Clay was initially taken aback by the little succubus's aggressive demeanor, but then answered confidently:

"I made a bet with him, but this bastard cheated. Can I just let him do it?"

As they talked, Clay got a little angry.

He recalled some things that made him very angry.

They even wanted to kick the already-killed demon again.

Originally, the warden of this level, Silent Azkaza, wanted to bring Kree under his command.

As a result, while playing the game, Clay's precise dynamic vision revealed that the warden was cheating.

Clay erupted in rage and deliberately punched the warden, initiating an eighth-tier battle that shattered the entire seventh floor.

And so the current situation has arisen.

"..."

Dekan said he wouldn't set off immediately.

He now doesn't know whether to critique Clay or Warden Azkasar.

Who is the prison warden on this floor, the Phoenix Chick?

Do you need to cheat when playing with Clay?

Why don't you just play honestly? Clay will lose anyway.

Then there's Clay.

You might say he's like a fool, but he does possess a certain amount of wisdom, and his logic is clear, with well-founded motives.

You might say he has a clear mind, but it's really hard to predict what he'll do.

In short, Dekan would rather see Clay on the other side than by his side...

"Being teammates with you is the worst luck imaginable..."

Dekan clutched his head, sounding somewhat distraught.

My blood pressure is about to explode.

He now feels he'd rather have a level 7 teammate who's somewhat more conventional than a weirdo like Clay whose mind is completely different from normal people.

Klay is strong, but when he messes up, he can only disrupt the overall rhythm of the game.

Every move is deadly.

Putting aside the question of whether Clay is reliable enough to actually fight the warden.

Lacking crucial information about a ninth-tier boss, Dekan felt extremely troubled.

Besides being unable to buy information about the warden, Dekan couldn't even buy information about the eighth floor anymore.

Dekan is currently unable to determine whether the eighth level is a normal level or an exile zone.

It would be even worse if the eighth floor were a banishment zone.

That means the seventh-level warden possesses the last piece of information about the warden!

Once this intelligence is permanently lost, we'll really have to rely on guesswork.

All the previous intelligence advantage was turned into a huge disadvantage by Clay in one fell swoop.

"teammate?"

Clay frowned and asked, hearing Dekan's complaint about the breach in his defenses.

He had felt that this demon was somewhat inexplicable from the beginning.

Then, after sensing the prisoners behind the demon and recalling the information and mission hints given at the beginning of this shadow world, he seemed to suddenly understand something.

"So you're the challenger? What's the current situation? And could you share some information with me?"
