There is no problem with the magic cards I made

Cornelia: "..."

However, that was the second when Dekan's eyes met Cornelia's.

But Nelia's eyes became three parts surprised and seven parts relieved, and it seemed that many doubts in her heart were solved in an instant.

Dekan: "!"

Dekan also understood at this moment.

He can read Cornelia's mind.

But Nelia guessed that he was the Lord of Disaster!

"I also think he is a false bishop."

Kenelia said coldly.

Hearing this, Flora hugged her head, feeling that everyone was smart but she was the fool.

Dekan didn't comment, just looked at Cornelia.

And Cornelia also looked at his eyes seriously.

The two looked at each other like this for a while, and both nodded slightly.

…

"But Croix, I think it's better not to have too high hopes."

Soon, they walked outside the building where the gate to the shadow world was located.

Durkan was worried that Croix would be disappointed later, so he said this first.

"Actually, I feel like the chances are quite good this time. Several teams that reported this time have higher points than us, and then the Kingdom Federation automatically arranged for them. However, the opening of the Shadow World failed, and there is still a shortage of people. How can there be a team? The match doesn’t go in.”

Croix explained.

"A shadow world that picks people up? There might be something there."

This kind of provocative film world is not common.

When this happens, the excluded person cannot be matched and needs to defer the opportunity to other teams.

Until someone appears who can open the Shadow World.

Of course, there are not many teams selected by Shadow World.

For example, Dekan and the others were rejected by the ordinary shadow world last time.

So the opportunity was deferred to the registered team with lower points than them.

Often, this kind of shadow world that picks people may be the team waiting to be picked.

According to the rules set by the Kingdom Federation, the Beautiful Mind Team has ample preparation time.

If you do not participate in the matching after the time limit, the opportunity will be postponed.

Of course, they had already made preparations.

You can take a quick trip at any time.

When they arrived at the "Gate" building of the Shadow World.

At this time, the battle was different from usual.

In addition to Dekan's mentor Arnold, even the principal and dean will come to see him off in person.

Even if Dekan and the others still may not be able to match successfully this time.

But the significance of the seventh-order shadow world is already extraordinary.

It feels like a heroic expedition.

"Let's go."

Dekan waved goodbye to the elders who were always helping and tolerating him silently.

"Dekan, don't take it lightly. The seventh-level shadow world and the first to sixth-level shadow world are two different concepts."

Professor Arnold reminded Dekan out of his own responsibility.

"Don't worry, Professor, just wait for my report!"

Durkan replied with a smile.

Let Croix write it this time.

Professor Arnold originally wanted to say this.

The report written by Dekan is also a bit serious, although it is much more restrained than Cornelia's writing style.

Forget it.

As long as they can successfully pass the level, they can just turn a blind eye to everything else.

So under the watch, the three giants of Beautiful Mind led the cat into the "door".

This time.

They weren't popped out of the Shadow World like last time.

Instead, the figures all disappeared into the Void Gate...

## Author's Note:

Next chapter, Shadow World, open!

ps: The character drawings should come out before the illustrations. If nothing else, you will be able to see the character drawings one after another by the end of this month. I have finalized the first two character drawings with the artist for the time being, and the next five drawings. Let everyone vote to decide the order when the time comes

Volume 4: Endless Purgatory: 216 Shadow World: Endless Purgatory

The cold raindrops made Dekan feel a little cold on his skin.

When he gradually regained his sight, he saw raindrops floating in the sky, a dark sky accompanied by a howling wind.

"Boom!!"

The sudden lightning illuminated the sky, causing Dekan to instinctively close his eyes, and then he heard the continuous rumble of thunder.

When Dekan frowned and opened his eyes again, he finally saw where he was.

This is a gloomy world dyed in pitch black and scarlet, as if it will always be night.

Tall demon statues stood tall, but they were all stained with scarlet blood.

Continuous demonic castles stand in this gloomy purgatory, with endless skeletons floating around.

Black mountains standing tall as if burning with everlasting flames, and the rolling River Styx roaring under the statues, castles, and bone mountains.

"It's not the Holy Kingdom..."

Durkan thought in disappointment.

He thought he could renew his relationship this time, explore the beautiful scenery of the Holy Kingdom, and have fun beating two vampires if he had nothing to do.

When Dekan looked at this place now, he knew where it was without having to guess.

This is an indescribable intimacy.

It's a pity that the current location doesn't look like Castlevania...

There is nothing like the luxurious and prosperous feeling of Demon Academy.

On the contrary, it is a bit like the wilderness.

Just when Dekan was trying to figure out where he was, he saw a huge opening suddenly opened under the huge demon statue, and it trembled violently, as if a door to hell had been opened.

Then a dark figure emerged from the door. His whole body was wrapped in a layer of dark leather armor, with only a pair of blood-red eyes exposed.

"Haha, are you the new jailer?"

A cold and strange laughter came from the mouth of this superior demon who suddenly appeared.

He seemed to have no intention of attacking Durkan.

This laughter also made Dekan feel more friendly.

Teacher Bacher laughed like this at first.

Dekan missed it so much.

But, the jailor?

Are you going to be a prison guard in the Demon World Prison this time?

Not bad, fast forward to the time when outstanding graduates are directly employed.

While feeling quite emotional, Dekan nodded.

The Shadow World prompt seems a bit slow this time.

It's been a long time and I still haven't seen any news.

"Once you enter this door, you may not be able to leave, right?"

The guiding demon looked at the surrounding environment with a ferocious smile on his lips.

The first gate to enter the Demon World Prison is the "Gate of Hell", with a sentence engraved on it:

[O comer, quickly abandon all hope! 】

It's clearly no joke.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The creatures imprisoned in the Gate of Hell seemed to feel the door opening, and all of them suddenly made a terrifying friction sound, as if they wanted to break free from the prison. However, this prison seems to be attached to a magic spell of an extremely high level that is extremely high and unimaginable, and it is as unshakable as a seal.

An ordinary person might have made a wrong judgment and considered how to run away because of this sense of pressure.

But Dekan is different.

Even if there is a demon blocking the door to hell, he still wants to enter!

It's like he can't refuse admission to Demon Academy!

Seeing Dekan's unafraid and even a little bit excited expression, the guiding demon was stunned.

Generally speaking, in this prison, new demons are quite scared...

There seems to be something wrong with this new demon...

"Haha, I hope you can live longer, come with me."

There was another weird sneer, and the devil's figure disappeared from the spot.

And Dekan stepped into the gate of hell without hesitation.

The moment he stepped into the gate of hell, a familiar reminder finally appeared.

[But even the Demon King never expected that a betrayer would appear...]

[Mission Objective 1: Rescue and assist the sealed Saint of Darkness to escape from the demon world. 】

[Mission Goal 2: All challengers survive until the end of the Shadow World and successfully escape from the Demon World. 】
