The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

It all started because of the champagne tower on the ornate, wide low table in front of the sofa.

Slender, tulip-shaped champagne glasses were stacked to form a pyramid several stories high.

It perfectly complements the elegance of champagne while retaining its bubbles and aroma.

"This, this is...?"

Before he could express his doubts, the warden was shocked by a scene even more striking than the decadent spectacle before him.

All that could be seen were the four people who had just fought her.

They've all changed into a stylish new outfit.

It looks quite elegant.

They stood in two lines and politely gestured to the warden, inviting her to sit on the luxurious sofa that was reserved for her.

"What are you doing?! What are you all doing?!"

The warden's expression and trembling voice could not conceal the surging emotions within him, like the waves of a bay.

Out of a sense of duty as warden, she desperately managed to control her feet and take two steps back.

She wanted to close her eyes and not be seduced by this terrible illusion.

But no matter how hard she tried, she could only squint her eyes; she just couldn't bring herself to close them completely.

Just as she was struggling.

The handsome young man with pear-wood hair had a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes held a dangerous glint as he stared directly at the warden and said:

"Miss, wouldn't you like to have a drink with us? We'll be waiting for you later."

Before the warden could even shake his head, the gentle and elegant young man, posing no threat whatsoever, spoke to her in a calm tone:

"You must be tired. You can sit down and rest for a while."

next second.

The black-haired youth, his eyes gleaming with wildness, looked rather impatient. He slightly raised his chin and said domineeringly:

"A gorgeous, rational, and captivating female demon, I allow you to come to my side."

As the warden grew increasingly panicked, she overlooked one crucial issue.

The little succubus from before has disappeared.

The Blood Mimicry on his body has been removed by Forced Dispel.

At this moment, a handsome young man with gray hair and blue eyes appeared. He had a business-like smile on his face, but there was no joy in his eyes, and his tone was polite but with a hint of disdain:

"Whether you come over or not, please at least stay away from me."

As the voices of the group faded away.

The warden seemed to be completely thrown into chaos.

"Ah...ah..."

The warden's eyes widened, his face flushed, and he began to breathe rapidly.

"What kind of illusion is this?!"

Although reason told her that she absolutely could not go along with them in this absurd situation.

But it seemed like an irresistible instinct made her want to sit on the sofa and have a drink and chat with these handsome men of different styles, even if it meant death!

"Wow!!"

finally.

The warden couldn't resist the temptation and rushed forward recklessly.

Just a moment ago, a feeling of her reason snapping surged into her mind.

She knew someone had cast a spell on her.

But she no longer had the mind to analyze the spell!

She only wanted to live for the moment, indulging in secret, unrequited love in her dreams, without ever having to face reality!

"Humph."

Finally, the gray-haired, blue-eyed boy went around to the back of the sofa and pushed out a small cart carrying the poisoned wine, finally unable to resist revealing a devilish smile.

"Welcome to the Demon King's Imperial Restaurant - Ninth Floor Branch".

[Illustration - Little Succubus Dekan]

Ta-da!

Little succubus, slut succubus, evil succubus make their grand entrance!

Because Hedgehog Cat only allows images under 500kb, the image quality has been compressed. Also, the second image might be deleted. The original images are in the group; group number 948957812.

The artist behind this illustration, Cui, has a Weibo account called @Non-replica. You can also find the illustration on Cui's Weibo account (it might be posted a little later than mine).

Personally, every single one of Cui-sensei's paintings touches my heart; I've long been a fan of hers. Even when I was writing Chapter 005 of this book, it was based on Cui-sensei's work that I conceived the character design for Cornelia. The character design for Master also drew inspiration from Cui-sensei's work. Now, being able to have her bring Dekan to life, I feel utterly content, as if I could die happy even if I had just achieved enlightenment.

As the author of this book, I don't know how to express my gratitude to Ms. Cui. She read the book first, and then poured her heart and soul into presenting the little succubus Dekan. To be honest, the moment I saw the illustrations, I even suspected that the illustrations came first, and then I wrote the text based on them...

If you like this little succubus illustration and want to see it featured on the Hedgehog Cat App's splash screen, we need to secure a top-three finish in the monthly ticket rankings again, according to the rules. Although we're currently number one, the competition at the end of the month will be fierce, and our position is far from secure, even in the top three. So, we're counting on everyone's votes!

All I can do is try my best to maintain this reward of 500 monthly votes + 1 chapter until the end of the month, and try my best to add more chapters.

Thank you everyone, thank you so much for your continued support!

277 Dekan's Enemies and Friends

In the present world.

"Damn it! I'm really impressed by this sixth brother!"

Viewers initially expected Dekan and his teammates to pull off a thrilling comeback.

Unexpectedly, the style of the painting changed bizarrely the next second.

And it actually worked!

"I have a feeling that even the Mad Bishop has been led astray by them. Where exactly is the problem?!"

"Anyway, none of these four guys are normal!"

"But they're so handsome! Can't they form a group and debut as a group?!"

What's outrageous is that there have been calls for the Beautiful Mind F4 to scream in various places.

The audience watched as Dekan and his men kept pouring the warden strong numbing drinks, getting her completely unconscious.

Until the warden finally collapsed onto the sofa, his vision blurred.

The four people, who had been polite at first, suddenly became disdainful.

It seems they've been putting up with this warden for a long time.

However, they did not choose revenge, nor did they hesitate much. Instead, they told Cornelia to carry the Dark Saintess away.

The warden is too ruthless; killing her would be too risky.

If we manage to wake her up but still fail to kill her, we might really be wiped out.

We should take advantage of this opportunity to successfully paralyze her and escape safely!

So, under the questioning gaze of the Dark Saintess, Cornelia carried her and the others as they escaped from the Demon Realm prison.

Then began a ten-day escape journey through the demon world...

......

Twelve days later.

The northern border of the Holy Kingdom.

Even though it wasn't winter, the climate in the northern part of the Holy Kingdom was still very harsh, with almost every season being a world of ice and snow, with goose feather-like snowflakes falling everywhere.

The northernmost part of the Holy Kingdom is also the far north of all human kingdoms. Beyond the last few towns lies the uninhabited area, a vast and boundless snowfield where even magical beasts rarely survive.

Further north lies the Demon Realm, where the environment is even colder and more frigid.

Several figures were stepping on the snow, their footprints sinking deep into the ground, the sound of their footsteps echoing across the vast snowfield.

We travel further and further away.

They are the Beautiful Minds team and the Mad Bishop Clay.

It took Dekan and his group ten days to escape the Demon Realm.

After another two days, they left the front lines and found a relatively safe main city-state.

Now they had finally reached the snowy hills not far from the city gates of this city-state.

During this journey, Dekan finally confirmed one thing—

Beyond the Demon Realm lies the Holy Kingdom!

The worldviews of the Demon Realm and the Holy Kingdom are unified.

Or.

The four film worlds he has experienced so far are actually several periods of history within the same world!

Even the timeline is presented sequentially.

Because Dekan had found out.

In the third shadow world, "The Secret of the Decline of the Holy Rite," Cardinal Lenn of the Holy Rite Church, who had a great connection with Dekan and Master, was 25 years old.

And now.

Lenn is 37 years old.

Eight years have passed.
