Chapter 160: Dekan Captures a Vampire Marquess

"Could you perform that again? Try to scam out Mission Objective 2 out as well," Mauleon clapped with admiration. Now, only Mission Objective 2 remained sealed.

"I really can't pinpoint the specifics of Mission Objective 2, but since the final boss has already shown its hand, the rest should be easy," Dekan said, waving the sleeves of his priestly robe and walking down from the pulpit. By deducing the next steps from the answers, he could probably guess that someone wanting to release the Marquess Roderick would come next to cause trouble.

However, the master of traps, Dekan, was always best at defending his home base. He could be considered the most reliable security for the team. After all, Dekan became famous after the battle in Tristin City, where he even tricked and killed the Cardinal of Ruin, Evans.

The vampire marquess was tier 8, so the enemy trying to unseal it would probably not be of the marquess's level but most likely a tier 7 vampire count.

"What's your plan next?" Mauleon asked, looking at Dekan's confident figure. Mauleon was only good at deception, making money, and teasing his enemies. He couldn't quite guess, the master of forced entries, Dekan's next move.

"Of course, it's time to teach this sealed Marquess Roderick a lesson and let him know where he is," Dekan chuckled and shook his head.

Upon hearing Dekan's words, Cornelia immediately understood and ran out of the church. She seemed to be preparing to bring something in from the courtyard.

Dekan had previously inquired about the principles of breaking the seal on vampires with his master. This sealing technique developed by the Holy Ritual Church had been studied by vampires over the years, resulting in their own unsealing magic.

However, the vampire's unsealing magic was likely divided into two stages. The first stage would destroy the seal at its basic level, while the second stage involved starting a blood sacrifice for unsealing. Once a blood sacrifice is given, a portion of the seal will then be broken.

In the mansion in the desolate mountains, the hidden boss Viscount Augustine had actually had the first stage of his seal broken at the start of the Shadow World, regained consciousness and was waiting for the blood sacrifices to accumulate so as to remove his seal completely.

He could choose to continue sleeping or quietly explore the situation in the mansion to ensure he had all the information when the unsealing occurred. Of course, a vampire in this state would definitely not let others know that they had regained consciousness.

Similarly, Marquess Roderick might be secretly observing the three under the pulpit right now.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The church doors were pushed open, and Cornelia dragged in a piece of equipment.

The apparatus's base resembled a turntable with fixtures all around. It was a torture device crafted yesterday by the free laborers of Dekan using metal according to his design. It was named the "Vampire Blender."

Following that, Cornelia brought out a sledgehammer and began chiseling away at the pulpit. Before long, she dug along the edges of the coffin, unearthing the coffin containing Marquess Roderick's seal from the ground.

Next, she effortlessly lifted the coffin, stood it upright, and installed it on the turntable. Then, she pushed the lever on the device, causing the coffin to spin rapidly. Whenever Cornelia pushed forcefully, the vampire would spin hundreds of times per second.

So Cornelia kept accelerating the spinning coffin, while Dekan and Mauleon sat in the front row of benches in the pulpit area, watching. They had snacks and drinks in their hands, occasionally feeding Teacher Cat.

Several minutes passed.

Mauleon: "He should be awake by now."

Dekan: "Definitely awake. I guess he's holding out. After all, it's a matter of dignity. Imagine a dignified vampire marquess shouting because he's dizzy from spinning, wouldn't that be quite embarrassing?"

Mauleon: "If this continues, his brain will be scrambled."

Dekan: "He won't die, it's fine. Vampires are good like that, they can't be broken."

Another ten minutes passed.

Marquess Roderick still showed no signs of speaking up.

Dekan sighed helplessly. "Cornelia, take a break first."

"Oh!" Cornelia ran down from the pulpit and sat next to Dekan.

Dekan handed her a bag of snacks and then patted Mauleon on the back with the back of his hand.

"Got it." Although Morlion felt Dekan was a bit off, he quickly understood what Dekan wanted him to do for some reason and summoned "Big Broblin."

[Big Broblin]

[Type: Summoning Card]

[Rarity: Purple Rare]

[Tier: 3]

[Effect: Greatly increases Strength and Constitution. Can take the place of other Goblins on the field when they receive fatal injuries.]

[Note: "I’m the big bro, name’s Blin."]

Mauleon mainly used Goblins as his summoned creatures. Since his own attributes were similar to Dekan's, being more of a support role in terms of panel attributes, the summoned creatures' attributes were not particularly high. So Mauleon never pursued the combat abilities of his summoned creatures.

Compared to fighting power, he needed more labor and functionality.

Dekan: "Looks like you still have quite a few [Goblin Gangsters] left on you?"

There were too many cards in the Goblin system, but when used together, they could still be very effective. For example, this card that Dekan hadn't seen before, [Big Broblin,] could solve the problem of [Goblin Gangsters] being easily defeated.

Mauleon: "If only you could help me expand my collection of underworld goblin cards."

Dekan: "Hmph, wishful thinking."

Mauleon: "Ha, stingy."

Without much idle chatter with Dekan, Mauleon quickly directed the [Big Broblin] to the pulpit to take over Cornelia's work. Although the spinning speed was much slower compared to Cornelia, it could maintain torture for a longer period.

Now, with this kind of endurance, they could spin for three days and nights without getting tired.

"..."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire church seemed to grow a bit colder.

A bone-chilling coldness permeated between the seats, and even the stained glass windows seemed to dim. It was as if something ominous was finally about to reveal itself.

In an instant, Teacher Cat was alert, its fur bristling as if ready to explode.

However, upon seeing this reaction, the three on the seats showed excited expressions.

It was as if they were eagerly awaiting the climax of a movie they had been anticipating.

"You bastards!!! I’ve remembered your presence! I will not spare any of you!!"

The voice, dignified and filled with anger, seemed to come from all directions, echoing throughout the entire church.

There was no need to guess; it was the voice of Marquess Roderick.

The vampire marquess seemed to have finally realized the severity of the situation.

These three individuals had an endless patience for tormenting their enemies, an animal-like persistence that showed no sign of stopping!
