The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

As for Milia and Ray, Delois didn't have much interaction with them at this time.

So Dekan, as if he was too lazy to care about the actors anymore, sat back in his director's chair and let the actors improvise freely.

Who is stronger?

"Kroix asked with some curiosity."

Despite being mentally challenged twice, Irenos still managed to hold his own against Lenn.

Only Dekan had personally experienced the battle at the ninth level, so he should have a more accurate understanding of the current situation of Len and Irenos.

"The fighting scenes and the intensity of the magic are far superior to those of Master Da Zhan..."

Dekan, who routinely criticizes Sheen, mentioned it briefly.

In his view, in terms of direct combat strength alone, Sheen is indeed a disgrace to the ninth rank.

"Lenne may already be able to hold his own against the former Pope Agamemnon before he activated [Chaos Liberation]. Irenos is clearly no match for Agamemnon. As for why the fight is evenly matched, it's because Lenn has to prevent Irenos from escaping while also ensuring that he doesn't kill Irenos. Otherwise, he might have already caught Irenos and tried to inflict a fatal wound."

Dekan leaned back in his chair, pointed to the battlefield like a commander giving instructions, and spoke to Chloeux.

The most direct way is to find a comparison of combat strength.

Lenn's magical power is even higher than Agamemnon's normal level, but his magical strength is far inferior to Agamemnon's.

However, even they are weaker than Sheen, who is fully empowered by the Illusion Canyon with infinite energy, not to mention Agamemnon in his Chaos Liberation Magic God state.

Lenn's physical functions did indeed begin to decline due to his age.

However, his skill in manipulating magic continues to improve.

It can be said that Lenn is a true magical genius who has brought his destructive and defensive abilities to the extreme, and is worthy of the title of the strongest human in this era.

……

"boom!!!"

A deafening explosion rang out, and in an instant, the flames of the explosion turned the ground around the city into scorched earth.

Chloix also erected a magical shield to protect Dekan and him from the aftershocks.

Dekan calmly took a sip of tea.

No matter how the wind, snow and mud swirled around him, he remained calm and composed.

On the battlefield, Irenos used the Destruction Dragon as a human shield, and after absorbing several attacks from Lenn, Irenos personally delivered the final blow to the Destruction Dragon!

Explosion and rebirth.

After the Destruction Dragon's special ability was triggered, it was reborn at full strength!

Now the pressure is finally on Lunlunen's side.

Although Irenos couldn't defeat him, he wasn't entirely confident that Irenos would escape.

"Len!! Remember this!"

As Irenos shouted, he tried to temporarily resist Lenn with his own body, allowing the Destruction Dragon to take off first, so as to find a chance to escape from Lenn's grasp.

He knew that, regardless of what happened to Crantes, evacuating from there was his only best strategy.

"..."

Lenn frowned, seemingly caught in a deep internal struggle.

Even though he had indeed made several deals with Delois before.

But all of that was to save more innocent people. Even though in the traditional sense, even though in the eyes of the world, making a deal with the devil is a depraved act, Lenn did not think that those collaborations should be called evil.

However, once you actually use Delois's power...

Even Lenn himself could no longer define it—

Is he, a cardinal of the Holy Church who affirms the faith, considered to have fallen?

"If you accidentally let Irenos escape, how many innocent people will die because of you?"

It was as if a soul-searching question was ringing in Lenn's ears.

But Lenn was certain that it wasn't Doloice's voice.

It was his own heartfelt expression.

Looking at Irenos so close, this truly unforgivable evil.

Len finally made up his mind.

He did not unleash any more powerful high-level magic.

Instead, it unleashed an invisible barrier—[The Temptation of the Mortal Realm].

It released poison gas—[psychotoxic substances].

And he attached an evil mask to the Destroyer Dragon—the [Cursed Soul Mask].

Suddenly, Irenos, who was preparing to deploy a defense, abruptly stopped in his tracks.

He felt his already diminished magical power begin to overflow like a floodgate bursting open!

As the magic power dissipated, an indescribable itching arose all over my body!

It felt as if his skin was about to rot and peel off!

"Aaaaaah! Len! What have you done?!"

Irenos clutched his skin in near collapse.

The chance to escape that had initially appeared vanished instantly.

Moreover, for Irenos, the situation was even worse than before.

Because Lenn completely abandoned all martial ethics, he took advantage of Elena's weakness and attacked again without giving Elena a chance to catch her breath.

He could have defended against those two low-level spells and that strange piece of equipment.

He never dreamed that Lenn, who was praised as a saint, would suddenly resort to such insidious means!

Moreover, these three pieces of the underworld set are something that ordinary demons simply cannot complete!

Irenos was filled with remorse.

It turns out that Len had already collaborated with the devil all along!

"Len!! You hypocritical scoundrel!!"

however.

Immediately after uttering this sentence, Irenos's voice stopped abruptly.

Because he finally realized it at that moment.

A demon that will help humanity.

A demon with such methods.

A demon capable of turning all of Irenos's nightmares into reality.

There is only one demon in the world that meets these conditions.

Perhaps it started from the moment we arrived at the border town.

It probably started when Pusser was sent to negotiate.

Even after the First Army received the news that "Len is willing to negotiate."

Irenos had already fallen into Delois's web—

A dead end was slowly eroding his position as commander of the First Army Group!

Everything became clear.

From the moment he bred the Endless Annihilation Beast, Delois began operating behind the scenes.

There was a traitor in the First Army who leaked crucial information about the Beast of Annihilation to Delois.

The subsequent intelligence that "Len wanted to negotiate" was probably released by Delois through special channels.

Delois also anticipated what kind of plan Irenos, who possessed the Beast of Annihilation, would devise based on this intelligence.

So Delois arrived in Crantes ahead of time to help Lenn prepare for the attack.

Then, turning the tables, he manipulated Lenn into carrying out the final step of his plan to hunt down Irenos.

Originally, no matter how Irenos deduced the true or false events in the city of Crantes, he never considered the legendary demon Delois.

It's because Irenos believes that Lenn would never compromise with a demon!

But at that moment, Irenos felt that the world had completely broken down.

Did Delois successfully bewitch Lenn and corrupt him?

Or has Lenn been completely taken over by Delois?

But none of that matters anymore.

It all began the moment he learned that his opponent was Lennardlois.

He knew he had no hope of escaping.

It turned out that from the beginning, he had really been treated like a clown by Deloitte.

And the culprit behind it all, Deloitte, even now, remains a spectator, showing no intention of taking action.

Irenos then laughed almost maniacally.

He began violently tearing at his neck with his hands, his expression gradually becoming distorted.

He felt his anger burning like a fire doused with oil, his mind went blank, filled only with an overwhelming urge to kill Deloitte.

Irenos seemed to no longer care about Lenn's attacks, as if he had already accepted his fate of defeat, and drove the Destruction Dragon toward the black-haired youth in the wilderness.

"Delois—!!!"

Irenos roared to the sky, his voice filled with anguish.

In the wilderness.

Dekan looked at the Destruction Dragon flying towards him, a slightly mocking smile playing on his lips.
