The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Dekan's rival, Berica, has been taken in for questioning by prosecutors from the Kingdom Federation.

Dekan also began giving post-match interviews.

The host, striving to maintain a professional smile, asked Dekan:

"First of all, congratulations to Mr. Dekan on advancing to the semi-finals! He truly deserves to be the undisputed number one contender for the championship! However, we've always had one question: in your opinion, who is the biggest opponent in this competition?"

After listening to the questions.

Dekan shook his head.

"Heh, I have no rivals. At least a bishop from the Church of Resurrection would be enough to challenge me, right? I defeated two bishops when I was 16. What about you?"

As Dekan said this, he seemed to glance around in the direction of the other players.

Dekan's arrogant remarks clearly caused an uproar.

"However, if we're talking about enemies, there is one."

No matter what the reporters asked, he was already prepared to steer the conversation toward this topic today.

Dekan's eyes sharpened, and he pointed at the camera.

"Lord of Calamity, you're next. Just you wait."

In the picture, Dekan is full of vigor and openly declares his opposition to the Lord of Calamity!

Dekan's cool move instantly ignited the atmosphere.

"Just for that sentence! I support you to win the championship!"

"The Bishop of Suffering is greater than the Lord of Calamity!! Who supports him and who opposes him!!"

"Let that cowardly Lord of Calamity see the true nature of the underworld! Bishop of Pain! Even the underworld can be surpassed!"

The cheers and triumphant shouts seemed to echo from the arena throughout the entire city!

They all know.

Dekan was arrogant.

But he has reason to be proud!

No matter how absurd his methods are.

At this moment, everyone was absolutely certain that if it was Dekan, he would definitely be able to capture the Lord of Calamity!

Fight poison with poison!

Dekan is the most poisonous!

and.

Many contestants, if they win, may use the reward of "Astrologer's Ninth-Tier Epic Card Divination Opportunity" in a way that benefits themselves or their country.

Even if some contestants were willing to use the title of "Lord of Divination and Misfortune," they wouldn't dare to announce it to the world like that.

Dekan was the first.

Those who dare to openly declare war on the Lord of Calamity!

This spirit is unmatched by anyone else!

in the audience.

Alice was so envious and excited that she almost shook Mir into a roly-poly toy!

She really wants to dress like that just once!

Teacher Cat: "..."

Looking at Dekan's "I kill myself declaration," Teacher Cat has a thousand words to say.

But it can't be said, just like the frustration of not being able to post a message while reading a book.

Look at Dekan's performance in the center of the arena.

Paladin Commander Alger frowned.

Compared to dissatisfaction with Dekan's arrogant attitude, it felt more like a sense of resentment.

Because Alger's purpose in winning the championship was also to find out the identity of the Lord of Calamity.

But he had neither thought of nor dared to openly declare war on the Lord of Calamity like Dekan did.

On the other side...

Adair, the Imperial Sword Saint dressed in a white Imperial officer's uniform, smiled and stopped paying attention to Dekan's figure.

"Is this the strongest of the new generation in the kingdom? Turns out he's just a cunning ant."

Adair leaned back lazily on the sofa and muttered to himself.

"Please be careful of him."

"That's what the attendant beside me said."

Despite his butler-like attire, his aura clearly indicated that he was no ordinary person.

However, because they belonged to a special unit, they were not wearing their own officer's uniform.

"Don't worry, none of his tricks will work on me. Your superiors overestimate him."

Adair chuckled softly, his expression calm and composed.

Dekan's underhanded tactics seemed utterly ridiculous to him.

Unless there are mental weaknesses, Dekan will not be so easily defeated.

In a one-on-one fight, Dekan would be as small and insignificant as an ant in his eyes.

"..."

The attendant hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

If the other person won't listen to what you say, no amount of talking will help.

He didn't want to upset the sword saint.

Although he also believed that in a one-on-one duel, the Sword Saint would completely overwhelm Dekan.

But the officer's favor made it impossible for him to feel at ease with Dekan.

......

Dekan and his party returned to the mansion.

They sat on the sofa and started chatting.

"Dekan Meow! You!"

Teacher Cat's thousand words can only be expressed through his cat-like expressions.

Although it didn't know what Dekan meant by that gesture in the post-match interview.

But it knew that Dekan wasn't like Alice.

There must be some ulterior motive behind openly declaring war on the Lord of Calamity.

"Of course, it's to deal with that Paladin Commander Alger."

Dekan replied with a smile.

"Meow?"

It quickly dug out the Paladin Commander's information and started reading.

Dekan calmly took a sip of the cool fruit tea.

Actually, this Paladin Commander is a very good person in terms of character and conduct.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a perfect knight.

But this guy's problem is that he's too honest.

After reviewing his profile, Dekan described him as: aloof, straightforward, and a bit of a simpleton.

He deserves to fail to win Judith's heart.

This guy probably hasn't even exchanged more than a few words with Judith.

He's expressionless, and it would be a miracle if Judith, who's already a bit slow-witted, could even understand his thoughts.

Just as Teacher Cat began blinking, deep in thought and puzzlement.

"What do you plan to do with the Imperial Sword Saint? He doesn't have the same mental weakness as the other three, who are so easily manipulated by you. Besides, he's quite intelligent."

Mir leaned back on the sofa and looked at Dekan across from him, asking a question.

"Him? It's unlikely that underhanded tactics will work on him; in fact, he might just turn the tables on you..."

Dekan put down his teacup.

According to past information, this sword saint did not show any obvious desires. In fact, it could be said that this guy, who was a chosen one of heaven, was almost without desires and could do anything with ease.

Whether it's swordsmanship, magic, or even card making, all of these can be mastered as long as you're willing to learn and spend the time.

Moreover, this guy is skilled in tactics and strategies, and is very cunning.

If you're not fully prepared, trying to outsmart him is more likely to backfire.

Kedekan remained calm and continued:

"However, his weaknesses are also obvious."

Mir: "What?"

Dekan: "He probably thinks that as long as I don't use any tricks, he can beat me easily, right? That's his weakness."

Mir smiled helplessly and shrugged.

Teacher Cat finished reading the information on Dekan's last two opponents and also overheard Dekan and Mier's conversation.

It probably understood Dekan's plan.
