After knocking out the assassin sister, Cornelia didn't immediately go after the healer sister. She raised her hammer and unleashed a furious barrage on the unconscious assassin sister.
At the same time, Dekan summoned the Ruined Poet with precision.
Their top priority was to ensure that the assassin sister remained incapacitated, giving her no chance to trigger her "Berserk" ability.
Once they eliminated the damage dealer on the enemy team, dealing with the healer would be a breeze.
The healer sister reacted promptly as well. She chose not to rescue her ally and immediately set up more divine light barriers to seal off the corridor. Then, she turned and headed toward room 105, unlocked the door, and rushed inside.It was clear that the three kingdom knights had fallen victim to their cunning last night.
The key to room 105 was in the healer sister's possession.
Due to the sudden turn of events, Lilith and her bodyguard couldn't break through the divine light barrier in time to stop the healer sister.
So, Cornelia ended up breaking another hammer.
However, as the assassin sister was already in terrible shape, even if her appearance was no match for Baron Bacher, the Alchemy College's broadcasters had to censor the images.
"Ah, if only Croix were here," Dekan said as he approached, looking down at the assassin sister's miserable appearance with a hint of sadness. He didn't want things to turn out so cruelly but the enemy's "Berserk" ability was just too difficult to deal with.
If the assassin sister had a chance to activate "Berserk," it would not only put Dekan and Cornelia in danger but also potentially cost the lives of Lilith and her bodyguard.At moments like this, he couldn't help but miss his dependable teammate outside.
"Okay, what exactly happened?" Lilith stared blankly at Cornelia, whose face was smeared with blood, and then at Dekan. She seemed to be struggling to make sense of the recent events. It appeared that she hadn't fully comprehended what had just transpired.
The two individuals in front of her appeared terrifying in every way imaginable. The petite detective, who looked so delicate, was suddenly a fierce fighter? And this hitman of a butler, since when did they start acting, and when did they stop acting? Their acting skills were just too convincing.
Dekan shook his head and let out a light chuckle.
"There are three types of detectives in the world," he explained. He raised his hand, with the pinky finger bent and his thumb pressing on the pinky’s nail.
"The first type solves cases with intelligence."
"The second type relies on luck."
"The third type solves cases with force."
"Obviously, my lady falls into the third category."
Even though Dekan no longer needed to play the role of a butler, he realized that Cornelia was still enjoying it, so he continued.
Lilith kept staring at Dekan and Cornelia, feeling somewhat dazed.
"Then what about the deaths of the three Roland Kingdom knights last night?" She was still struggling to understand the puzzle from the previous night.
"Last night, when I was dealing with the werewolf-possessed assassin sister, I saw her use a tier 5 spell card to go into a Berserk. So she is a tier 5 mage."
"And based on the magic intensity, her sister should be a tier 4 mage. Together, they easily ambushed the three tier 4 Roland Kingdom knights."
"They first went to the bedroom last night, and it was only later that they confronted the three knights."
"Their keys are for rooms 101-102, while the kingdom knights occupy rooms 103-105 at the far end of the corridor," Dekan explained.
"As long as they lay in ambush near room 103 and utilize powerful cards, they had a chance to swiftly kill the three kingdom knights."
"In other words, the time of death for the three knights was before ten o'clock, and the assassin sister killed them without transforming into a werewolf. This also explains why the healer sister had the key to room 105."
"But whether this deduction is accurate or not, we'll find out when we open the rooms and examine the bodies of the three kingdom knights," Dekan added.
"But how do we open the room door?" Lilith inquired.
Currently, their main concern was how to open the door to room 105, where the healer sister was hiding. As their combat abilities wouldn't allow them to forcibly break through a door with a blessing effect, they had no way to conduct autopsies on the three kingdom knights or bury them.
"Can you help us keep an eye on the person inside the room?" Dekan asked, not directly responding to Lilith's question but making a request instead.
"Of course," Lilith readily agreed. Despite her pride, she understood that Dekan and Cornelia were the real powerhouse of the team. She wouldn't refuse to lend a hand when they needed it. She also needed time to gather her thoughts.
"Dekan, I've searched thoroughly," Cornelia announced.
"Good," Dekan responded. Then Cornelia started dragging the unconscious assassin sister toward the villa's entrance.
Dekan followed closely, and they both left the scene.
“You two…” Lilith started to ask what they were planning, but she decided to hold back. She didn't dare ask. Were they going to dispose of the body? Why did they seem so skilled at it?
…
Less than half an hour later, Dekan and Cornelia returned. Cornelia had cleaned off the bloodstains and changed into a dress paired with a jacket. Dekan was also dressed casually. They had found the clothes in the bedroom's wardrobe.
"You have to admit that this Shadow World's service is quite impressive. It's truly a top-tier vacation experience," Dekan commented. "The scene experience was also excellent, with a bit of a thrill too."
"We've had two four-star Shadow World experiences now. I'm looking forward to a five-star experience next," Cornelia added.
"Enough, you two," Lilith sighed. She couldn't help but feel that something was off about their mental state.
When they made eye contact with Lilith, Dekan and Cornelia both waved and greeted her with smiles. It was like they had found a new buddy for a picnic.
While Lilith had many questions, her biggest curiosity at the moment was the elven cat in Dekan's arms. It was obviously not a summoned creature. Lilith asked, "Excuse me, but what is that?"
Dekan replied, "Ah, it's our team's guiding teacher for practical lessons."
The cat teacher interjected, "Stop making things up, meow! Hevenlit is a proper school! You're pretty much self-taught! I never taught you anything, meow!"
