The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"Oh dear, you found out."

Decan lowered his mask with some disappointment.

A regretful expression on his face after his prank failed.

The actual historical situation differs slightly from the world depicted in the film.

While Talomat, who accompanied Delois, possessed a relatively balanced strength and magical power, she did not have Cornelia's extreme violent power.

According to Talomatti's later account, Delois did not have the epic spell card "Blood Purification" back then, but he did have a spell similar to "Solar Punch".

Dekan thought so too. Deloitte's magical talent was similar to his own. In an era before magic cards existed, learning an epic spell would have been too difficult for Deloitte.

The [Solar Fist] is not difficult to obtain. Even if it is made into a magic card, it is only of blue rarity, which is still not as good as the purple flower planting magic [Starlight Irrigation].

Delois, on the other hand, had already acquired a necromancer familiar early on. With Delois's modifications to the familiar, it possessed an effect similar to the [Ruined Poet].

Back then, Delois's familiars and Dekan's summoning cards were basically the same, and the magical artifacts he carried were also similar to Dekan's equipment cards. The only difference was his spell cards; Delois himself only mastered low-quality spells, and high-level spells could only be cast using one-time magic scrolls.

Therefore, Delois could not, like Dekan did in the Shadow World, repeatedly activate [Blood Purification] until Countess Lislina's blood was evaporated and she died.

However, interrogating an enemy of too high a rank, especially a vampire who was extremely adept at escaping and surviving, on the southern border of the Holy Kingdom was too risky for Deloitte and her group, who were of relatively low rank.

In the end, in the actual history, Delois and Talomatti did not kill Countess Lislina; it was only through Morpes's request to the Church of the Holy Rite that she was sealed away and put into a deep sleep.

This seal is said to be able to last for ten thousand years without any problems.

As for where the Church of Sacred Ritual ultimately placed her, even Talomatti didn't know.

In the past two years, after learning of the intelligence from Dekan's announcement, the Kingdom Federation has also sent exploration teams to various southern countries to search for the whereabouts of the ruins that seal the vampires.

Unexpectedly, the vampire had already broken free.

Moreover, it felt like fate.

Once again, guided by fate, the Countess encountered the kind-hearted Dekan.

“Cunning humans…”

Countess Lislina said through gritted teeth, a spark flashing in her eyes, her tone filled with uncontrollable rage.

She vowed never to be fooled by those damned humans again.

Although Dekan's reaction at this moment made her feel very fortunate.

But after she understood part of the truth, she also had even more unsolvable doubts.

If this human wasn't a demon from that time.

Why do I feel a strange sense of similarity to him?

How does he know so much about things from ancient times?

"In any case, as a way of repaying us for inviting you to our home, it's not too much to ask that you tell us your story, is it?"

Dekan shrugged helplessly and took a slight step back as he asked.

"What are you delusional about? Do you think you can force me to submit through torture?!"

Countess Lislina's tone gradually hardened.

She fears neither punishment nor death!

After realizing that Dekan had just been trying to scare her, she became even more convinced—

This man did not possess any effective methods of torture!

His specialty is psychological warfare through persuasive rhetoric.

"Uh……"

Dekan seemed to be stung by Lislina's attitude, and his expression gradually turned regretful.

Indeed, many enemies were this tough before they witnessed the torture methods used by the Happy Group.

However, this time Countess Lislina was right and stood her ground.

Because this is not a dedicated torture chamber.

Torture can easily cause a big commotion.

Even if the sounds from the basement were blocked, their torture of a robust seventh-tier vampire would still cause an earthquake.

They didn't want to ruin their own home.

Violent torture is no longer acceptable.

Now that the easiest scare tactic has been exposed, there's no way he can continue pretending to be Doloice to frighten her.

But the look of disappointment on Dekan's face was feigned.

He was already secretly amused.

How can we let the Countess fall into deeper despair if we don't give her a glimmer of hope?

"..."

Cornelia glanced at Dekan.

Although Dekan was immersed in acting.

But Cornelia was surprisingly able to understand what Dekan was thinking.

If she were to judge, she would think it would be even more fitting if Dekan could transform into the form he wore in the Demon Realm prison at this moment.

They can even speak their minds directly and make a more disdainful expression without it feeling out of place.

Finally, Dekan seemed to have calmed down and looked at Countess Lislina seriously, saying:

“Countess Lislina, the Holy Kingdom and the Demon Realm that you hate have long been destroyed. I believe you must be very happy about that.”

Dekan's eyes held a hint of sadness, yet he sighed as if he couldn't quite hide a smile.

"Sigh, we really can't do anything about you in this small town."

"What should we do then?"

Cornelia looked at Dekan with a slight annoyance and asked.

We can't possibly take her back to Norton too...

She knew Dekan had a way, but she didn't know what kind of tormenting vampires Dekan had come up with this time.

Taking it back to Happy Group or Chloeux would provide a more professional venue, equipment, and staff.

But that makes them look like human traffickers.

Without contacting the Kingdom Federation's representative, they probably won't even get through security.

Zestellila will definitely be terrified.

More importantly, Cornelia didn't want a vampire to interfere with their journey.

"Hahahaha!"

Countess Lislina laughed upon hearing Dekan and Cornelia's conversation.

Just like those guys a thousand years ago who could only trap themselves and then seal themselves away, it seems they have no way to solve her immortality now either.

"Of course I have a brilliant plan that will ensure she is filled with sorrow but unable to shed a tear, extremely exhausted but unable to sleep, and forever trapped in the human world, day and night."

Dekan put his hand on Cornelia's shoulder and said to her smugly.

Then he looked at Countess Lislina across the table:

"Consider yourself lucky. We are currently evaluating advanced civilized towns, and violent torture is no longer in line with our principles."

Countess Lislina: "?"

She wondered if she had misheard something.

Or perhaps the human in front of you is talking in a somewhat erratic way.

But Dekan did not explain further what he was going to do.

Cornelia had already fully understood his thoughts after his simple explanation.

Cornelia then brought the projection equipment from upstairs.

Then they moved their two chairs next to Countess Liselina.

The basement was instantly transformed into a small screening room.

What are you going to do?

"I'd like you to watch a good story."

"?"

Next.

They showed Countess Lislina the footage of their third time in the Shadow World.

This includes the scene where her beloved Marquis Roderick is tortured by Father Decan, the Marquis's desperate cries, and his tragic end when he is tricked into committing suicide by the priest.

This also includes the truth that later in the lord's manor, Countess Lisleina was completely kept in the dark and tricked by Morion disguised as Marquis Roderick.

Many things that Countess Lislina couldn't understand even after she was sealed away years ago—

She finally saw this absurd and cruel truth from God's perspective during a movie screening.

Dekan and Cornelia sat on either side of Countess Lislina, watching with her.

"..."

After reading it, Countess Lislina completely lost her composure.

When she learned that the marquis she admired most had died such an undeserved and humiliating death, her heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

"Marquis... Marquis..."

She was already in tears, the tears falling like broken beads, unstoppable, streaming down her pale cheeks, filled with the unbearable despair she felt at that moment.

"I am sorry for your loss."

Dekan sighed, his eyes filled with pity.

As Countess Lislina's cries echoed in the empty room like a sharp knife piercing the silence, pain and sorrow filled the air, and Dekan felt as if he were a novice doing the same.
