There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made!-Chapter 172: Dekan Starts Exploiting The Resurgence Church Followers

"Of course, Milord Marquess," Countess Lysilina responded from outside the door, receiving Mauleon's approval.

The countess's voice couldn't hide her joyful mood. However, there seemed to be a slight disappointment, and a bit of anticipation.

Not having the chance to meet "Marquess Roderick" at this moment and not being able to see "Marquess Roderick" again tonight… it was like a lovesick girl's longing.

Dekan listened to the movements and footsteps outside the door, sure that the poor vampire, whose emotions had been completely deceived by Mauleon, would soon leave.

Two attendants were left waiting at the door.

"How should we proceed with this encounter..." Dekan muttered.

Although they knew that the vampires wouldn't easily escape the mansion and be bathed in sunlight, dealing with five full health tier 6 vampire servants plus Countess Lysilina in the mansion was still too troublesome.

If only they had powerful explosives, they could just blow up the mansion and deal with the vampires under the sun as if slicing through fruits and vegetables.

Unfortunately, unlike the time in Tristin, there was no backup support in the city. Even though they could buy explosives from the guild with money, buying so much powerful explosive and then heading straight to the lord's mansion... no knight would turn a blind eye to such behavior.

So, if they wanted to solve these vampires in the simplest way without harming the innocent, it seemed they could only exploit the three prisoners.

A perfect labor force.

After all, Dekan didn't like getting his hands dirty.

If he could avoid it, he would rather sit on the sidelines and watch others fight for him.

Dekan shook his head helplessly, gently poking Cornelia's cheek.

"Hmm?" Cornelia opened her eyes, looking at Dekan beside her.

"It's time for us to get to work."

"Alright," Cornelia quickly woke up, feeling refreshed.

The two of them put on masks and left the room.

They had disguised their hair color as black using magic potions they bought in the guild. After all, they didn't want to give the Resurgence Church followers a chance to guess their identities.

Even though they were wearing masks, as long as they revealed a bit of their skills, once the Resurgence Church followers would be able to quickly guess who they were from the color of their hair.

"Please follow me, esteemed guests," a vampire servant at the door greeted them respectfully. Although they were all servants to vampires, their status differed based on their masters. Moreover, these two demons seemed to be trusted confidants of the Marquess. But for Countess Lysilina, they weren't that important.

Dekan and Cornelia followed the two vampire servants. "By the way, when you captured the enemies yesterday, did they use any magic?" Dekan asked the two vampire servants as they walked along the corridor.

"They used those strange magical artifacts again."

"You mean those cards?"

"Yes."

"These are methods developed by the Resurgence Church to deal with our kind. We must crush them in their infancy!" Dekan earnestly explained to the vampire servants.

Then, he inquired about the details of yesterday's battle. The results almost made Dekan laugh out loud. The composition of the three was too obvious. From the descriptions of the two servants, it was basically confirmed that the three captured guys had all used the shadow series spell cards produced by the Cardinal of Shadow, Minos.

Dekan even started to suspect if Minos intentionally wanted to harm people by making the effects of the shadow series cards so obvious.

Although Minos's cards were very popular among the Resurgence Church followers and had even become a standard product for the Resurgence Church, just taking out these cards for use was basically equivalent to revealing one's identity.

So, led by the vampire servants, Dekan soon arrived at the basement of the lord's mansion. This basement looked particularly like a heavily guarded prison. A few strands of light flickered in the corridor but were swallowed by the endless darkness. The walls, made of steel, showed no ripples, and the heavily enchanted iron doors seemed like iron coffins embedded in a remote corner. The entire place was filled with a heavy sense of oppression.

Originally, this basement was the lord's emergency evacuation passage. Now it has been temporarily converted into a prison.

When the vampire servants opened the heavy iron door, a pungent smell of blood rushed towards them.

Perhaps for vampires, this was a sweet scent. But for humans, this smell was undoubtedly unbearable.

Soon, they saw the challengers who had been captured.

These three heavily injured prisoners had their hands and feet shackled. They appeared severely wounded, with parts of their bodies even blurred with blood and flesh.

Evidently, they had not gained the upper hand in the fierce battle with the vampire servants. The vampire servants, being tier 6 like these challengers, naturally did not dare to take things lightly. So, to ensure a stable victory, the vampire servants spared no effort, only making sure to try to keep the challengers alive as much as possible.

For the previously captured humans, like the male mage and the female warrior from last night, as well as the other two caught the night before, none of them had survived the night.

This meant that the vampire servants had not fed last night, only being able to watch these three humans being locked up in the dungeon.

The three prisoners looked at the approaching figures with horror in their eyes. They were almost hopeless.

"You two wait outside at the door for us," Dekan instructed the two vampire servants.

"Yes, Milord," the two vampire servants replied.

The attitude of the vampire servants made the three prisoners look even more terrified and uneasy as they glanced at Dekan and Cornelia.

Wasn't the master of these vampire servants Countess Lysilina?

Why were there other "milords"?

Could it be that there were hidden bosses in this Shadow World that no one knew about? frёeωebɳovel.com

They suddenly had a very terrifying speculation.

Could it be...

That Marquess Roderick had not been defeated by the challengers, but had been replaced by something even more terrifying in this Shadow World?

It was possible for Shadow Worlds to intersect.

For example, while they were undergoing a tier 6 Shadow World in the southern part of the Holy Kingdom, there could be a tier 8 Shadow World happening in the northern part in another timeline.

Some Shadow Worlds, if they were unlucky enough, might even align maps and timelines perfectly. Should they happen to trigger some wrong conditions, it was very likely for powerful enemies from higher difficulty Shadow Worlds to intrude.

Should that be the case, their hopes of escaping would drop from nearly zero to absolutely zero.

Since soul-bound magic cards could be stored in their souls in spiritual forms, they were not confiscated by the vampire servants.

They were waiting for daylight, when the vampires' defenses would be weaker, to break out.

As the vampires could only exert about one-tenth of their power when exposed to sunlight, as long as they could successfully break out of the mansion during the day and run outside, the vampires would naturally not chase them out of the mansion.

But now, these two newcomers wearing eerie masks made them feel an overwhelming fear of imminent death.

"Foolish humans that dared provoke the vampires, are you ready to pay the price?" Dekan said coldly.

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote on it. "Cooperate with me, and I will get you out." He then showed it to the three prisoners.

At the same time, Dekan held up his Holy Ritual Church priest's badge.

This made the expressions of the three prisoners become incredibly surprised.

Soon, Dekan wrote on the paper again:

"We were originally a priest and nun from the town and Grand Priest Kevin’s close friends. After the Grand Priest was defeated, we pretended to surrender to Countess Lysilina."

"She thought she had mentally controlled us, but in reality, we resisted her mind control with the power of our God."

"We’ve been lurking by her side, waiting for the opportunity to find someone who can discover her existence and defeat her together!"

The sudden turn of events left the three prisoners stunned for a moment. But soon, they understood the situation.

A crucial character in the plot was here to save them!

This "native" priest of the Shadow World was undoubtedly the key to overturning this seemingly unclearable Shadow World!
