The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

In the Holy Kingdom era, unlike most magical beast-type familiars that can directly transform into human form once their rank is high enough, ghost-type familiars require a puppeteer like Mie to provide a body in order to transform into a true human form. Similarly, weapon-type familiars, such as magic swords, also need to be modified by a blacksmith to obtain human form.

Amen, this strange creature that is half mechanical and half spiritual, will require Dekan and Mier to conduct thorough research before they can help create its human form.

【…】

It seems that possessing a human form is even more unimaginable for it.

Even its fantasy has always been limited to consuming a few natural epic cards.

They never even had the concept of having a "life".

Thank you, Kan.

It couldn't understand.

But it felt that it should be able to figure things out after a period of silence.

Regardless of how much pretense and pretense there was before.

At least for now, it's the first time he's sincerely expressed his thoughts to Dekan.

"Alright, I'll have to trouble you to continue acting as a normal Void Gate for a while longer. I'll dispel the spatial magic soon."

Having received heartfelt thanks, Dekan smiled contentedly.

【it is good. 】

When they can communicate again, that will be the moment it truly obtains the magical thing called freedom!

Dekan then deactivated the space portal.

Now that we've established a good relationship with Amen.

Dekan then set it aside for the time being.

It has now become a piece of furniture and can no longer be used for any communication.

Now, the next important thing is to take a look at that magic card we just saw.

If the product of the ninth-tier Shadow World is a card, then the guaranteed reward will be a Crimson Light Epic!

It's even highly likely that you'll obtain a Tier 9 Crimson Light Epic, similar to Sheen's [Destiny Divination]!

Chloeux also curiously came over.

The light emanating from the card was so dazzling that they couldn't immediately discern what it was.

Dekan took it out of his pocket and frowned.

Now, it shines with a crimson light, just like a newly made card.

The red glow lingered for a long time.

This doesn't seem like something a Crimson Light Epic should have!

Dekan and Chloeux exchanged a glance; their hearts were pounding in their throats!

I originally thought it was a Crimson Light Epic that Dekan would treat it so casually.

Unexpectedly... it has already reached the next level!!

"Dekan... the world of film really can produce red legends..."

"Ninth tier... and it's a shadow world that was influenced by divine protection within you..."

Even the usually composed legendary card maker Dekan couldn't help but swallow hard when faced with this card.

A natural legend of red.

It is probably an extremely powerful magic card that brings together the legendary elements of the entire Holy Kingdom era!

until the next moment.

Dekan turned his pupils gold.

Only then did I finally see the true nature of this card!

[The Holy Emperor's Determined Will to Fight]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Grade: Red Legendary]

[Class: 1]

[Effect: Significantly and continuously burns life and mana, bringing one's magic and spirit to the strongest state achievable in this lifetime.]

[Note: One cannot sit comfortably on the throne; only the chair of one's own choosing can bring peace of mind.]

3.6 Dekan solved a cold case

"How do I use this card...?"

Dekan murmured.

Although it is Lenn's ultimate magic.

But in the real world, it seems to fall short no matter who uses it.

It is more effective for users of lower ranks.

Of course, the price will be higher, and a slight mistake could lead to instant death.

For a ninth-tier expert, its negative effects are barely tolerable.

But the increase wasn't as significant anymore.

Chloix, which was originally a perfect match for it, no longer possesses any magical damage due to the curse of the God of Life.

If it weren't for this curse, and no Chaos God ever appeared in this world again, Dekan would immediately drive Chloix in his teleporter and smash the Chaos God's head in the head!

The mechanics will only activate when there's insufficient damage; once you've spent enough money, just kill him!

But right now, Chloex can only become a level nine healer with this card at most.

Dekan... doesn't really need a ninth-tier magic panel.

"That wretched Sissina..."

Even now, Dekan still grits his teeth when he thinks of that Chaos God.

They wished they could invite her to the Demon King's Tomb so she could witness the power of the Happy Church in this era.

However, the Chaos Gods are beings who have transcended the cycle of reincarnation of the Goddess Tike.

Even if they are killed by ordinary methods, they will revive on their own after 10,000 years.

As for the most troublesome Chaos Goddess Sisina, she has been completely wiped out by Delois and Lenn and will never appear again.

"Think carefully about who should use this card."

Chloeux patted Dekan on the back.

He had already ruled out the possibility of him using the card.

Although he knew that Dekan didn't care which partner he gave this ninth-tier Shadow World spoils to—as long as it was the most suitable person.

But Chloeux alone would feel guilty about accepting the card.

This is the world of shadows that he started.

It was Dekan who risked his life to help him close this ninth-order shadow world.

"I'll keep this card safe for now."

Dekan reluctantly and carefully put it away.

The legendary card that has not appeared in the world for a thousand years, the cost of its sacrifice is now unknown to anyone.

However, Dekan, who had created legendary cards, was quite certain—

Legendary cards, once bound to a soul, can never be separated.

Otherwise, the backlash will cause your life soul to perish!

It carries the weight of a legendary life, equivalent to that of a certain person.

Even without binding or using it, the existence of this [Holy Emperor's Will to Die] provides Dekan with a great deal of peace of mind.

After all, this was the last gift left by a close friend from ten thousand years ago, and it was also part of the goddess's guidance that led it to fall into Dekan's hands.

"Speaking of Chloeux, I've finally figured something out."

As Dekan pondered, he seemed to suddenly realize something.

"what?"

Chloeux looked puzzled.

"Actually, the 'healing' that was originally thought to be a blessing on you is the curse of the God of Life, and the other 'misfortune' that people regard as a curse on you... is actually a blessing."

Dekan smiled as he explained to Chloeux, his eyes seeming to recall the emperor from the Holy Kingdom era, a figure he himself didn't know how to evaluate.

"Len's entire life was that of a devout messenger of the Goddess Tiki. His thoughts were always excessively benevolent, but he would spare no effort to achieve them for the sake of righteousness. In truth, he was the most orthodox priest under the Goddess's teachings..."

"Seeing that the last high priest of the Holy Ritual Church, who dedicated his life to the Holy Kingdom, was cursed by an enemy god, how could the Goddess not bestow upon Lunn her protection?"

After Dekan finished speaking, he asked another question.

"But……"

But this should have an unfortunate effect on people.

Chloeux wanted to say that, but dared not say it as it might be disrespectful to the goddess.

So he could only lower his head in embarrassment.

It seems that she was also recalling her past from childhood to adulthood.

Until he met Dekan.

The bad things in his life far outweighed the good things.

And indeed, I haven't encountered anything good...

Things only started to get better after I met my true friends.
