There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made!

Chapter 167: Cornelia's Wisdom

Countess Lysilina didn't hesitate for long. She turned and began to run like a frightened vulnerable girl. Although she knew that such a reaction was disgraceful for a noble vampire countess, if she didn't run now, her fate could very well end up like those two food sources she had caught earlier.

Setting aside the brute force girl who could create a sonic boom just by waving a book, the other two individuals in the room also made her feel extremely uneasy. The man with the green wealth mask exuded a strange sense of oppression. As for the man with the red mask, although Lysilina couldn't sense any aura of strength from him, she even felt that he was harmless, she knew that these kinds of people were often the most dangerous!

In her prime, she wouldn't have worried much about these three. But now, she was unsure and uneasy.

At the same time, Cornelia's figure rushed out of the door like a demon. Dekan and Mauleon quickly stepped out of the lord's bedroom door, but they simply stood there and watched as if it were a show, showing no intention of intervening.

Cornelia, chasing after Countess Lysilina, held the murder book in her hand with her determined gaze locked onto the countess's head. She wouldn't stop until she hit her.

With someone like this chasing after her, getting closer and closer, Countess Lysilina felt a sudden chill run down her spine. She absolutely did not want to be hit by that book!

Soon enough, she felt her servants arriving. "Stop her!!" Lysilina commanded.

Several shadows emerged from the stairs on the first floor of the mansion and quickly formed a protective barrier around Lysilina before rushing toward Cornelia. They were the vampire servants disguised as the mansion's servants.

Under Lysilina's command, they drew the weapons they carried - the men brandished long swords, while the women wielded a pair of daggers with blue-glowing blades, clearly coated with deadly poison.

She had carefully counted; the other side had a full five tier 6 vampires. She wouldn't stand a chance facing them head on.

Cornelia was a tier 4 that had the combat power on par with a tier 5. Even with all her buffs activated, including the epic-level enhancement spell card [Olive's Extreme Madness] (a short-term significant boost to physical abilities), she could probably only briefly reach the combat power of a tier 6 warrior. This was the time to hide behind Dekan and wait for him to come up with a plan.

"You won't escape tonight!" Countess Lysilina, seeing the advantage back on her side, let out a sharp, fierce laugh.

Although she didn't know how these three individuals had easily infiltrated the lord's mansion, she knew they were not of the same danger level as the two individuals who had come to her food earlier. They must be dealt with tonight! Otherwise, her plans would surely be ruined!

As the Countess's voice echoed, the servants started chasing after Cornelia, rushing towards Dekan and Mauleon. Their speed was incredible, quickly turning into streaks of darkness.

"Oh dear, this is a bit troublesome," Dekan shook his head.

Along the way, they had used mental magic and poison magic to take down the guards. Cornelia had used [Witch's Repayment] (a barrier dispel card) along with her unique lock-picking skills to swiftly infiltrate the lord's bedroom.

They had only planned to capture the lord and had no intention of taking down the boss immediately. But this boss had chosen the worst place to hide - right in the lord's mansion.

According to Dekan's plan, the most efficient way to find the hidden vampire in the city was to first have Mauleon replace the lord. They hadn't planned on capturing the boss in one fell swoop. But here the boss was, hiding in the lord's mansion.

It was truly worthy of a tier 6 Shadow World, a surprise to the challengers.

But now, the problem arose.

Inside the enemy's stronghold, there were not only the weakened boss but also five elite monsters. Although there were ways to deal with them, the problem was that even if they managed to take down these five elites, it was very likely that the countess would escape.

After all, among the three of them, only Cornelia had the ability to actively engage in combat. Dekan and Mauleon were more like acrobatic supports who would only fight as a last resort. Ultimately, they would still rely on Cornelia's unparalleled strength to subdue the countess.

However, it wasn't a big deal. They always prepared for any unexpected situations. The current situation was also within their expectations. In Dekan's planning, he even considered the possibility of suddenly encountering a vampire countess while taking a stroll.

So when they saw the countess in the lord's mansion, although Dekan was surprised, it wasn't unexpected. Only a simple step was required to take care of the vampire minions while keeping the countess in check.

Dekan looked at Mauleon. The next move was up to Mauleon's persuasive skills.

Mauleon calmly grasped his mask, seemingly preparing to take it off to reveal his true face.

Countess Lysilina watched Dekan and Mauleon closely from afar. She wasn't sure what these two were up to, but she knew that compared to the white-masked girl, the real variables were with these two.

Mauleon gradually revealed his face, exposing his left eye. His pupil showed the cold indifference of a supreme being looking down on the masses. As Countess Lysilina locked eyes with Mauleon, she could distinctly feel the invisible pressure emanating from him becoming more pronounced. This pressure was not like that of a tier 7 or tier 8 expert. Rather, it was a different kind of aura from an unknown level.

As Mauleon slowly revealed his true face, Countess Lysilina's eyes widened more and more. It was as if she had seen something unbelievable.

Mauleon finally lifted his mask halfway, revealing his face. Yet he never completely removed the mask.

Underneath the mask, his features were sharp and distinguished, displaying a martial air. However, unlike masculine handsome men, the corners of his eyes were raised upwards and his pupils were bright red. He gave off an overall slightly eerie aura.

"Hehe." Mauleon chuckled lightly, carrying a hint of mockery, yet seeming to hold within it centuries of lament. This laughter, coupled with his icy demeanor, made Countess Lysilina tremble involuntarily.

"What... what is this..." The countess found herself sitting on the ground, her body trembling.

Instinctively, she ordered her servants to cease their attack.

"Aren't you going to continue offending me, Countess?" Mauleon's words were a question, but his tone resembled a statement. It was as if an overlord was delivering a judgment to a subordinate.

"No! No, I dare not! This is a misunderstanding!" Countess Lysilina exclaimed in fear. She quickly stood up and smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes before bowing to Mauleon and lowering her head.

She was so flustered because…

Mauleon's current appearance was that of Marquess Roderick!
