The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"Who is this great person who helped the Kingdom Federation? When we get back, I'll definitely give her a special merit award."

"Her? Icardinos."

Dekan looked at his young apprentice with concern, and was relieved to see that her injuries were gradually healing.

"Icardinos, doesn't that name sound like an empress?"

As Sheen applied the healing, she asked thoughtfully, then suddenly her brows furrowed as if she had realized something.

"Huh???! Icardinos?!!!!"

Sheen was so startled, like a mouse that had run into a cat, that he almost fell to the ground.

Then, her hand trembling slightly, she pointed at Icardinos and shouted at Dekan in a trembling voice:

"You! You'd better seal her away right now! Her methods are impossible to defend against!"

She couldn't understand why Dekan would go so far as to cooperate with the Empress.

Who exactly is the other one that Dekan sealed away?!

Sheen instinctively felt only a deep fear of Icardinos.

Hiding in the Kingdom Union, her biggest nightmare was being confronted and killed by the Empress.

"Don't worry, Icardinos won't attack you. Focus on healing her."

Dekan was also taken aback; he hadn't expected Icardinos to frighten Sheen like this.

"How can you be so sure! You definitely tricked her, so get ready to face her wrath! And don't underestimate her, she's not someone you can use as you please!"

Sheen reprimanded Dekan sternly, yet he couldn't hide his cowardly urge to hide behind Dekan.

Even after she started to imagine things wildly, she still couldn't figure out what major things Dekan had done in those few short days in the Empire.

Sheen never dreamed that Dekan's few days away would bring back the Empire's most terrifying Empress, Icardinos!

Dekan sighed, about to explain something, when Icardinos spoke weakly first:

“Miss Sheen…don’t worry…I won’t attack my teacher’s friends…The war between the Empire and the kingdoms is over…and I am no longer the Empress of the Empire…”

Dekan helplessly shrugged and looked at the stunned Sheen.

Sheen took a moment to react.

"teacher?"

Sheen frowned as he looked at Icardinos and Dekan.

It was as if a crucial missing piece of information in her mind had been instantly filled in, followed by a series of expansions and refinements, her expression turning one of utter astonishment:

"Could she be the little Eve you met in the Shadow World before?"

After Dekan returned to the Demon King's Tomb from the Shadow World [Throne of Wind and Thorns], the first thing he did was tell Sheen the whole story of the past six months in the Shadow World.

If the war situation in the Empire has developed so absurdly, there is only one possibility—

That means Icardinos also has some memories of her past life and is on Dekan's side!

"Yes, so please heal my student quickly, Master Sheen."

Dekan read the request to Sheen with a respectful tone, as if reciting a monotone.

Before Dekan could finish speaking, Sheen had already restarted the healing process.

Icardinos received a level nine healing spell and quickly recovered, becoming able to stand up on her own.

"Then, where is that guy?"

But Sheen, still somewhat dazed, pointed to the sealed, pitch-black humanoid sculpture on the other side and asked Dekan.

This victim is probably very strong.

However, Sheen was unaware that, besides resolving the war between the Empire and the kingdoms at its root, Dekan had also done some other good deeds.

“A fresh Chaos God, just caught from the mortal world.”

Dekan stood with his hands on his hips, looking as smug as an old fisherman who had conquered the sea.

"?"

Sheen: "What?!"

Sheen's expression once again turned somewhat doubtful about life.

She always had the feeling that she had been offline for more than ten chapters, but when she logged back in, she found that the finale was almost over.

"Absolutely."

As he spoke, Dekan walked over to Menellis, hooked his arm around Menellis's shoulder, and raised the recording crystal to them, as if taking a selfie with a friend.

Dekan then made a V-sign with his hand on Menellis's shoulder, removing some of the seal on Menellis's face so that he could speak.

"Come on, smile."

"Dekan!!!"

With a few clicks, the camera captured Dekan's unrestrained laughter and Meneglio's expression of shock and anger, almost contorting his face.

Sheen was treating him in a daze, and for a moment she couldn't tell which side was the villain.

"Why?! Why do you have the coordinates of the Demon King's Tomb?!"

Menellis growled angrily.

He now finally knows Agamemnon's fate.

This barrier, which combines the highest magical achievements of the demon race and the magic power of the strongest beings throughout history, should no longer belong to the present world!

Even with a space portal, it shouldn't be able to find its coordinates!

The necessary conditions for such spatial magic to achieve teleportation are either to have a clear coordinate direction or to have previously arrived at that coordinate!

Even if the cycle of reincarnation and the goddess of fate secretly tampered with things, allowing a few people in the present world to revive their past life memories.

In the present world, the soul has been cleansed through reincarnation, carrying only a few memories, and is not considered to have personally visited the places reached in the previous life!

"Well, it seems you've misunderstood something."

Decan released Menellis, looking at him with a somewhat mocking expression.

Why do you have the illusion that you have the right to ask questions?

Dekan then ignored Menelius and walked toward the makeshift open-air laboratory built on the grass of the Demon King's Tomb.

There were many pieces of equipment, tools, and materials on display there; it was the site where he disassembled the [Artificial Shadow World Activator] and repaired the [Space Jump Gate].

Dekan rummaged through the pile of materials on the ground for a moment, picked up a tool hammer, walked back to where he had been, and handed it to Icardinos.

"Icardinos, here you go."

As he spoke, Dekan summoned the Broken Poet and the Lamenting Mermaid.

Black mist and sea fog filled the air, and the Demon King's Tomb instantly transformed into a black abyss, like a sea of ​​death.

"teacher……"

Icardinos murmured, gazing at the red-haired youth before her.

That was the first time Dolois took Eve for anesthesia.

It was a similar scene.

Icardinos held the ordinary tool hammer firmly, and for some reason, the fear from her nightmare seemed to vanish, leaving only a sense of peace.

Menellis, who had been roaring in a fit of impotent rage, abruptly stopped, and his facial muscles twitched.

He knew perfectly well what those two beasts' summoned creatures were!

And what a terrible multiplicative reaction would occur when the two most skilled tormentors of the underworld in the world carry out their executions together!

Dekan strolled leisurely back to his own dark throne, made of stacked tombstones.

He crossed his legs, propped his chin on his right hand, and stared at Menellis with a lazy and indifferent air.

Before Menellis could say anything more, he felt as if his throat was broken and he could no longer speak.

“Menelios, although I could seal you in the Demon King’s Tomb forever, I’m just being cautious and it’s best to kill you completely while you’re in the [Chaos Liberation] state.”

Dekan tapped the throne lightly with his fingers, a composed smile playing on his lips.

"Logically speaking, you shouldn't be stupid enough to obediently activate [Chaos Liberation] and let us kill you, right?"

Upon hearing this question, Menellis's pupils finally contracted involuntarily.

The light that had previously burned with some anger seemed to be swallowed up in an instant, turning into ashes of fear.

"Waaaaah!!!"

“There’s an old saying in my hometown: ‘A wise man submits to circumstances.’ I think the various spells and torture devices I have now will surely be able to pry open your mouth. Of course, they will also make you obediently listen to me and voluntarily unleash [Chaos Liberation].

Then, in Menellis's horrified and desperate gaze...

Dekan looked at Icardinos and said:

“Icardinos, Lord Menelios is quite principled and it seems he won’t be speaking anytime soon. We should respect his choice and let him experience the hospitality of us demons. Once you’ve settled your score with him, we can then reason with this Chaos God.”

After Dekan finished speaking, he closed his eyes as if he were taking a nap in the afternoon.

She didn't seem to be in a hurry or rushing her.

"Ah."

Icardinos held the tool hammer, her expression a mixture of nostalgia and joy.

"Thank you, teacher."

She bowed deeply to Dekan.

Then, Icardi, with a smile never before seen on the Empress's face, walked up to Menellis and brandished the tool hammer in her hand:

"640, that's the number of times you and Carlos attacked me when you stormed the palace. If I'm not mistaken, I'll begin now, shall I?"

"???"

Menellis's eyes widened as he frantically recalled the battle, managing to calculate that he and Carlos had inflicted 64 instances of effective damage on the Queen.

He didn't beat the Empress that badly at all!
