The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

At the same time, Dekan also saw the final rule of this layer transmitted through the Demon Bracelet.

[Refugee Prison]

[Staying on this floor for one day will deduct 90% of your existing Demon Points, or 100 Demon Points, whichever is greater.]

[When your Demon Points are negative, the Warden will send you back to the first level.]

[The area within the portal barrier is a safe zone; the Warden will not attack from there.]

[Upon leaving the safe zone, the warden will activate kill mode as needed.]

[Consumes 900 Demon Points to gain the ninth level of protection, granting immunity to one Warden's attack. Cooldown: 1 minute.]

[You can spend 9000 Demon Points to return to the portal barrier.]

Upon leaving the Demon Realm Prison, any remaining Demon Points will be automatically converted into Demon Realm Currency.

"It seems this level tests strength and the accumulation of experience from the previous levels..."

Dekan looked at the information on this floor and the current situation, muttering to himself.

Outside the portal barrier, the warden can be seen in the distance.

The entire ninth floor was like a Taoist temple.

The warden sat in the center of the meditation hall, looking as if he were in deep meditation.

She looked dignified and imposing; just sitting there, she exuded an immense sense of oppression.

It was as if once you stepped out of the safe zone, you would be overwhelmed by her oppressive aura.

As previously reported, the warden appears to be a blind woman.

Her eyes were protected by a metal mask.

Logically speaking, even if an eighth-tier jailer came here with enough demon points, it would be difficult for him to force his way through a ninth-tier enemy.

The warden blindfolded himself, which gave the jailers some opportunities.

In the distance behind the warden, a large portal can be clearly seen.

Presumably, we can leave this demonic prison by using this portal.

On this level, having enough Demon Points will provide a significant advantage.

The mechanism in this layer is very simple: the jailer needs to use his own resources and intelligence to get past the warden's defenses, and she will let the jailer leave, which counts as passing the level.

It was the warden's duty to guard the prison, and she couldn't chase anyone out of the prison.

"You take good care of the Dark Saintess and leave her in the safe zone. The four of us will try to hold off the warden. Once I signal you, you take the Dark Saintess and escape towards the portal."

Based on the situation on the ninth floor, Dekan quickly outlined the battle plan and then explained it to Cornelia.

"Ah."

Cornelia nodded seriously.

"Clay, we're counting on you this time. We'll do everything we can to help you."

As the only Tier 8 main DPS in the team, Clay is practically the only one who can withstand the Warden.

Dekan and Morion are two acrobatic assistants, while Chloeux is a caregiver.

A perfect three-protect-one lineup.

"no problem."

Clay exuded strong confidence and strode out of the barrier first, displaying the demeanor of a powerful figure.

He was clearly eager to test his skills against a ninth-tier expert.

However, Clay had just stepped outside.

The three of them stopped in their tracks.

They remained inside the barrier.

Clay: "?"

"Ugh, why is this barrier so laggy? The spatial connection has been lost!"

Dekan cried out in distress.

He decided to wait and see in the safe zone for the time being.

To be honest, none of the three support players dared to venture out rashly.

After all, the three of them had never faced a ninth-tier enemy before.

In addition, they are three fragile characters, and they might be killed in one hit.

Let's let the tough and resilient Clay try out the mechanics.

Klay realized the problem at this moment simply by sensing the aura.

He, the main DPS, entered the map, and all three support characters disconnected.

"You three?! You betrayed your teammates too?!"

Clay turned around and roared.

Anger levels surged.

"Clay, are you angry? You're angry, aren't you? That's good. With [Berserk Demon Heart], you'll become stronger when you're angry. Isn't that a kind of auxiliary behavior?"

Dekan stood inside the barrier, asking and answering his own questions with righteous indignation.

"If I hadn't sworn an oath, I would have loved to punch you!"

Clay felt his blood pressure was already skyrocketing even before the fight started.

This succubus teammate is strong, but she's really terrible!

275 Dekan's Conscience

Dekan was still somewhat wary of Clay.

This is the first time he has been teammates with Clay.

Recalling Clay's past record, Dekan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

I don't know if Clay is reliable or not.

Since they've already been matched together, there's no point in hoping he'll carry; we can only try anything.

But Clay is ultimately a bishop of the Church of the Resurrection, and once he leaves the Shadow World, he will become their enemy.

There's no guilt involved in scamming people.

Because Clay is blind, Dekan and Chloeux Morion quickly exchanged glances and reached a consensus during the tactical planning phase.

I'd rather betray Clay than let Clay betray me.

In any situation, Clay will be the first to be sacrificed.

If Clay sends it, they'll just give up.

The worst-case scenario is that the Shadow World mission fails, but their team must find a way to survive.

Upon closer reflection, if they were to kill an eighth-tier bishop, even if this seventh-tier shadow world were to explode, they might still receive praise after their merits and demerits were balanced out once they got out.

Just as Dekan was preparing to further unleash Clay's potential.

The entire ninth floor fell silent in that instant.

A slash ripped through the sky, seemingly piercing the dark depths of the prison, and Dekan could only see light for a fleeting moment.

The lightning in Clay's hand seemed to be shattered by this strike, turning into countless tiny fragments of lightning that dissipated into the air.

The warden made his move the instant Clay stepped out of the safe zone.

She raised her weapon, which resembled both a halberd and a staff, and swooped down on Clay, unleashing a slash that sent him flying.

Although Clay tried to resist and even fight back, in a direct confrontation of power, even Clay was no match for the warden.

Dekan's expression was very solemn. He understood the power of this attack. It was genuine ninth-tier strength. Even if the Bishop of Illusion or the Bishop of the End came, they would not be able to unleash a normal attack of this level.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Klay was knocked back like a comet, barely managing to regain his footing only when he landed at the edge of the barrier.

He clutched his chest, which was stained red.

In the very first exchange, Kree was slashed open with a huge wound. If it weren't for his [Super Speed ​​Regeneration], any other eighth-tier player would probably be seriously injured by now.

"They're human... How did the prisoners get to this floor?"

In the distance, a death-like figure, carrying a weapon, walked towards Clay, muttering to himself with a hint of doubt.

She exuded a terrifying aura, as if a god had descended from the darkness into the world, and every step she took seemed to be a death knell tolling for her enemies.

Logically, only jailers should be on this floor, and they shouldn't be able to take prisoners to the ninth floor.

Because all prisoners will be held on the eighth floor.

Did someone defeat the Illusory Kalster on the eighth floor and then forcibly bring the prisoner down?

The warden couldn't figure it out for the moment, but in any case, she decided to kill the dangerous prisoner first.

"Damn it! You started fighting right away!"

Clay was furious.

He was just betrayed by his teammates, and now he's been ambushed by the warden.

Thankfully it was Klay; the other Tier 8s really couldn't withstand it.

Clay then began a 1v1 battle with the warden.

however.

Even if Clay uses all his skills and maxes out his buffs.

They were no match for the warden.

It was a complete one-sided beating.
