The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

And this scene changes.

Actually, it was Dekan who just activated a spell card.

【Phantom Barrier】

[Category: Spell Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Class: 5]

[Effect: Activating this effect will consume a large amount of mana, projecting the surrounding environment as scenes experienced by the user.]

[Note: Decante modified version]

This purple spell card is available for purchase and is primarily used for everyday magic.

For example, it can be used for theatrical performances, party projections, etc.

It is also one of the many basic techniques used to construct the artificial shadow world initiator.

Although the presented illusionary scene can be adjusted according to the user's wishes in terms of details.

However, due to the excessive mental burden it places on users, creating a large scene out of thin air and maintaining its stability is too difficult, and may even lead to the collapse of the user's will or the scene itself.

Therefore, they often conjure up a scene that the user has personally experienced and that left a deep impression on them, so as not to give themselves away.

It is rarely used in combat because it consumes a lot of resources, cannot change the actual terrain, and does not provide any combat attribute bonuses.

However, in Dekan's hands, this card became a purely intimidation-based countermeasure card.

Furthermore, Dekan improved this card so that it blends seamlessly with the projection of Phantom Canyon. If used within Phantom Canyon, the effect is more realistic, and there will be no trace of casting a spell card, making it difficult to identify and lock onto by magic.

In Phantom Canyon.

Bellica was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

That's why the scene was so terrifying.

It's because the scenario simulated by Decan is—

Demon King's Tomb.

It felt as if the ghostly figures of demons were roaring all around.

The small hill in front of us has now turned into a mountain of the Demon King's withered bones.

At the mountaintop, there seemed to be a throne made of fragments from the Demon King's tombstone.

The most evil, wicked, insane, and mad demon king who will witness the birth and destruction of the demon realm.

Dekan has already used [Blood Mimicry] to simulate a demon male, and together with his master, he has taken control of his body, returning to the state he was in at the Demon King's Tomb.

Dekan held a jet-black longsword that exuded an ominous magical aura.

At the hilt of the sword was a demon's head, howling mournfully, as if blood and tears were streaming from its eyes.

He walked step by step to the throne and sat down.

He then planted the sword in the ground, which emitted a mournful buzzing sound, and at the same time activated [Three Corpses Frenzy].

The incessant howls and roars of the demons assaulted Bellica's eardrums, causing her, already trembling and with red eyes, to cover her ears tightly.

Her eyes, constantly streaming with tears, were lifeless and filled with despair.

He was muttering incomprehensible, unclear words under his breath.

She not only seemed to be going crazy, but her body was also completely out of her control.

Dekan was slightly surprised by Bellica's condition.

I didn't expect the performance to be so good.

Actually, half of the special effects come from the scene, and the other half comes from the sword in his hand.

Bachcher's Sword of Despair

[Category: Equipment Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Class: 5]

[Effect: Swinging the sword produces Bachcher's mournful howl, causing mental shock to all enemies and reducing their resistance to mental magic.]

[Note: Have you heard Bachcher's lament?]

This sword has little offensive power; it's essentially an unsharpened decorative sword, not even very sharp enough to peel fruit.

Its design is incredibly frightening, and the special effects it emits even make people wonder if it has reached that legendary grade.

This weapon was crafted by Dekan using the rare purple material "Batchell's Heart of Fear," which he obtained in the Shadow World's Demon Academy Tales, as its core material.

Actually, Dekan didn't have high expectations for this card at first.

Making one purple rare quality card should be enough, as planned.

He didn't expect to be able to create an orange epic card this time; based on the design and the quality of the core materials, the probability of creating an epic card was too small.

Unexpectedly.

Perhaps it was because of the deep bond he had with his teacher, Mr. Bachcher, and the fact that he poured so much memory, emotion, and soul into the production.

This made it an epic card, which surprised Dekan immensely.

Dekan looked down at Berika, who was on the verge of losing her will, and said coldly:

"This is your last chance."

"don't want!!"

Bellica screamed at the top of her lungs like a madwoman.

All she wants now is to kill herself.

But she also knew that committing suicide here would not solve the problem.

She will be teleported out of Phantom Canyon unharmed.

And she was quite certain that Dekan's warning would come true.

She will face a true nightmare in the present world from which she can never awaken.

Looking at Bellica's condition, Dekan felt that it had exceeded his expectations.

If this continues, it might drive this guy completely insane.

So Dekan temporarily sheathed his teacher Bachcher and his Bond Sword, and said calmly:

“I promise you that as long as you confess all the crimes of the northern kingdoms, everything that happened before will be wiped clean. I will not bother you anymore and will guarantee your safety in the name of Dekan.”

He emphasized the word "everything" when he said it.

He believed that Bellika would understand what he meant.

Bellica stared blankly for a few seconds, then looked at Dekan as if grasping at a straw and shouted:

"I promise you! I'll tell you everything!"

……

And so it ended.

A match was turned into a public trial by Dekan.

Many powerful figures from the northern countries who were watching the game turned off the broadcast with dark expressions.

Dekan will probably not cause them any more trouble.

However, the Kingdom Federation seized a golden opportunity to suppress them.

After that, there will be plenty of headaches.

In Phantom Canyon.

Dekan seemed finally satisfied.

"you can go now."

"Um……"

With Dekan's permission, Berika tremblingly surrendered.

Her figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the Phantom Canyon.

The words "Winner: Dekan!" began to appear in the sky above Phantom Canyon.

Dekan rose from his throne, raised his hands, and stretched lazily with a contented expression.

Like a sunny boy who has just woken up on a Saturday morning and comes out to the balcony to soak up the sun.

"This kind of one-sided, crushing match is really boring."

After saying this, Dekan also chose to leave Phantom Canyon.

……

"This guy even knows he's in a competition?"

"A one-sided crushing victory? Have some shame!!"

"You know what, at least Dekan made it into the game this time, which is much better than the last game."

All the viewers noticed.

Every Dekan match has a completely different feel to it.

Furthermore, whether it can truly be called a "competition" is debatable.

From a competitive standpoint, every game Dekan played was undoubtedly a terrible one.

But ironically, it also makes people wonder what kind of antics this guy will pull next.

The entertainment value is unmatched by regular competitive events.

And what the audience doesn't know is what Dekan would be like if he really went all out.

A brief post-match interactive session.
