Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 769

Chapter 769: Chapter 247 Sealing Broken_3

But there was good news.

That was Leonard Churchill also gradually adapted to the corrupt contamination.

JOKER could exempt faith pollution, and now his body’s self-healing ability was also incredibly strong.

Just like developing a resistance to toxins, as long as the dosage could be controlled, it was theoretically possible to slowly engulf it.

Indeed, his physical attributes were slowly improving.

At this moment, Mr. Leonard Churchill was in the center of the Divine Temple, now he no longer needed to transform into a werewolf to remain here for a long time.

The strong corrupt blood mist was like sulfuric acid, sizzling as it burned on his skin, but Leonard’s own body’s recovery ability was just strong enough to erase this corrosive damage.

This was another peculiar thing about Leonard.

His recovery ability did not alleviate the “weakened state” in the slightest, but these ordinary injuries were healing normally.

This made him suspect that the reason for the weakness was most likely due to some high-tier law trauma he received when he traveled through time and space.

As he meditated on this, Vera Williams’s shout came from the entrance of the Divine Temple: “Leonard, it’s time to eat.”

Leonard opened his eyes and looked at the girl who was approaching with a brilliant smile on her face and replied, “Okay.”

Three days had passed, and the young lady of the financial conglomerate seemed to have completely forgotten the awkwardness that had happened before.

She had changed from being polite to now calling out his name openly and naturally.

Feeling hungry, Leonard got up and walked over.

The simple camp was set up beside several statues of the Snake Fairies.

Pigeon had already served him a full bowl of mushroom soup and carefully brought it to him: “Mr. Leonard Churchill.”

Leonard took it with a smile and asked, “How do you feel after merging with the mark?”

Pigeon, like a student reporting on her studies, earnestly responded, “Yes! I feel like my body has become very strong.”

Leonard then asked, “Have you decided which card master path you want to follow?”

Pigeon said, “I think… I want to become a doctor like my father.”

Leonard nodded, “That’s good. All four professional sequences in the healing path are decent… I suggest you consider the ‘Plague Doctor’ or the ‘Holy Knight’, especially since you have a good talent for close combat.”

“Okay.”

Pigeon noted this down with a face full of joy.

At that moment, Vera Williams took a big piece of meat out of the pot and placed it on a plate next to Leonard, her eyes curved into a smile: “Here, try this.”

The two exchanged a glance, and without saying much, Leonard nodded and began to eat.

All three buried their heads and ate.

This was a very ordinary routine, but as they ate, Leonard suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes and abruptly turned his gaze towards the passageway, “Huh?”

Noticing his serious expression, Vera asked, “What’s wrong?”

Leonard moved his ears slightly, making sure he was not mistaken, and said in a strict tone, “Someone’s coming in!”

“Ah?”

Vera immediately realized something was terribly wrong.

This place was so hidden that others could not possibly find it.

But now someone was here, which could only mean one thing.

The vampires!

“They’ve really come, haven’t they?”

Leonard also felt the situation was very bad.

There was only one way in and out of this underground palace, the same way they came.

Now leaving was certain to encounter those who had broken in.

And they couldn’t leave anyway.

He glanced at Elder Clinton, who was still in front of the stele, now looking like he had turned into a statue himself, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

If this man didn’t help, there was a big problem.

Leonard himself was able to move freely in the Underground Palace, but Vera and Pigeon couldn’t.

This meant that once the vampires came in, they would undoubtedly run into them.

They were in a difficult situation.

What to do?

Although the passageway had some restrictions, Leonard did not think they would stop the vampires who had come prepared.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, the noise from the passageway grew louder and louder.

The three fell silent, the atmosphere tangibly tense.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Vera and Pigeon quickly packed up the camp, took out their weapons and gear, and entered combat readiness.

Leonard was also thinking.

Even though he knew they wouldn’t die, where was the option to survive in the current situation?

Just then, an even worse situation arose.

The bleeding pyramid in the Divine Temple shook violently, as if something was about to break through its sealing.

The previously gathered pool of “Corrupt Blood Mediator” also started to boil, bubbling and gurgling.

In the vast Underground Palace, a huge crimson Nine-pointed Star Magic Array had lit up.

The methods of the Ancient God Sect often bore similarities.

Seeing this Nine-point Star Array, he was reminded of some sacrificial arrays from the “Silver Moon Secret Book”.

Leonard Churchill saw this scene and his heart sank: “Not good… Those Believers have already received a response from the Crimson Corruption in the seal!”

The “entity” inside the pyramid also knew the sealing was about to break, drawing energy from the blood pool and striking the surrounding Restriction furiously.

Previously, he hadn’t sensed any Restriction in this Underground Palace.

Now, as the commotion started, countless Magic Arrays flickered to life.

On the bricks of the pyramid, red, yellow, green, blue, white… various colors of Curse lit up, forming layers of impenetrable Restriction webs in the Void.

Visible to the naked eye were countless layers.

But the “entity” within the pyramid had been accumulating power for a long time, and now, like an erupting volcano, that energy was about to break through the last barrier and burst out.

The energies of sealing and eruption clashed fiercely in the Underground Palace.

But it was clear that the colliding force was more brutal.

It charged recklessly forward, with booms and bangs… numerous Prohibition Enchantments shattered in an instant.

Ten layers, twenty layers, fifty layers, a hundred layers…

The barriers made of various colored Curses were as fragile as paper, breaking apart in an instant.

At the same time, the entire Divine Temple shook violently.

The eight God statues of giant serpents around the pyramid also trembled, and “clang, clang, clang…” drops of Mithril fell from the ceiling like rain.

Suddenly, a “clang” of shattering stone sounded!

Turning to look, two of the eight giant serpent God statues had shattered!

It was at the moment when the God statues broke that the intact Barrier lost two corners of its formation, and cracks also appeared on the pyramid.

Leonard Churchill saw this and his eyelid twitched, a bad premonition forming in his heart.

His gaze returned to Elder Clinton, who still wasn’t affected by the commotion, and he let out a heavy sigh, “If he doesn’t wake up soon, we’re going to be in trouble…”

…

Just as Leonard had anticipated, the restrictions in the corridors did not stop the intruders.

The Restrictions and the pyramid within the temple were already heavily damaged by the “entity” that was sealed.

“Hahaha… It’s finally broken!”

“I can feel the call of our Holy Master now…”

“…”

A clamor arose.

Looking again, Leonard saw a group of Vampires with green faces and sharp fangs rushing in.

The two groups faced off right at the entrance of the Divine Temple.

The Vampires seemed very surprised – were there other humans here?

Leonard and his two companions faced the ill-intentioned group with grave expressions.

Leonard, seeing no way to avoid conflict, immediately assessed the strength of the group.

The two leading figures were draped in blood-red cloaks, and their “qi” were not particularly remarkable.

However, among the Vampires behind them, there was a particularly strong presence.

“The strongest one must be Fourth Tier… three Third Tiers, and the rest are Second and First Tiers…”

Leonard was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, even if he couldn’t defeat a Fourth Tier, he could hold up for a moment.

But after carefully sensing another one in a blood-red cloak, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “One of them doesn’t have ‘qi’! What’s going on?”

All living creatures have “qi”.

Even if it’s well-hidden to the point where one cannot discern its strength, it certainly exists.

Yet among these Vampires, one had no “qi” at all!

That is to say, it wasn’t human!

Leonard immediately thought of something and became alert, “Could it be… that Artifact Spirit?”

As soon as the two groups faced each other, there was an air of an imminent fierce battle.

However, at that moment, one of the figures in a blood-red cloak threw back their cloak, revealing the face of a skinny middle-aged man with a goatee beard.

Vera Williams, standing by, cried out in shock, “Third Uncle?”
