Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 1534

Chapter 1534: Chapter 468 Divine Artifact [Sun Wheel]_4 Chapter 1534: Chapter 468 Divine Artifact [Sun Wheel]_4 The battle on the Sealed Land erupted fiercely but ended just as swiftly.

After all, there were two Third-order Vampires here.

Even with the Red Dragon Royal Family’s people well-equipped, this huge gap allowed the two vampires to reap like cutting wheat, swiftly killing more than a dozen people.

However, Leonard Churchill knew these were Dead Soldiers, and their sole value in coming here was to buy time for the one hiding in the shadows.

Leonard was also very curious as to what the other party planned to do.

Is it possible that by awakening the Saintess, she could turn the tide?

Obviously not.

…

The individual who sprung from Leonard’s shadow leaped directly onto the stone platform and took out a magic scroll, floating face to face above the Saintess.

With fiery red hair, it was none other than Princess Sofia of the Red Dragon Royal Family!

In an instant, a dazzling Holy Light appeared, and a silver sun-shaped Divine Glyph imprint surfaced on the forehead of the Saintess, as an indescribable Power of Light surged out from within her.

“What is she trying to do?”

Leonard genuinely didn’t understand. Did it look like some sort of religious ceremony?

The Holy Light activated the Divine Glyph, and a miraculous scene unfolded; a Holy Seal of the sun began to emerge on the forehead of the red-haired woman.

It was like… copying?

Suddenly, Leonard realized something. Was Princess Sofia trying to strip the Holy Seal from the Saintess?

Seeing this, Leonard had a flash of insight; he finally understood. “So that’s how it is!”

At this moment, he had figured everything out.

He was very familiar with the Outer God Sect; certain high-grade Divine Artifacts required special access!

From beginning to end, Princess Sofia’s goal had been the Sun Holy Seal.

Once she had control over this access, she could use some kind of extremely powerful Holy Artifact of Light to solve the problem.

From afar, Madam Mister noticed this and roared furiously, “Damn it, stop her!”

Unfortunately, she was being held back by her life by two Heavy Armored Knights and couldn’t arrive immediately.

And Leonard, who was closest, had no intention of interfering whatsoever.

The next instant, Enlightenment arrived.

“Congratulations on breaking the ‘Sun Disc’s Mirror of Time’, reward A-grade storyline exploration*1.”

“Discovered Sealed Land, additional exploration progress +30%.”

Almost simultaneously, the surrounding scenery vanished in a flash.

As if waking from a dream, the endless Crimson Corruption receded, leaving the space shimmering with cold, silvery light.

Leonard knew they had left that strange space from before.

The scene before them was no longer Black Crow Castle from over a hundred years ago but the regular timeline of the Trial Space.

The pyramid was still the same pyramid, but the stinking blood pool was gone.

The stone platform was still there.

But lying atop it was no longer the Saintess, but rather a red-haired young girl — Princess Sofia from just moments ago.

And the most eye-catching thing was the shimmering golden disc at the top of the pyramid.

Leonard knew instantly upon seeing this disc; this was what had been trapping them in that special space.

The Spatial Will had revealed part of the information about this disc after he participated in the plot.

[Sun Wheel]
Detailed Description: The highest Holy Item of the Sect of Light. Those who stand under the Sun will inevitably cast a shadow. An ancient Relic that has lost its Divinity, it can carry the Divine Grade Sun Power; Infinite Elements of Light converge, greatly amplifying the holder’s understanding of the Law of Light, capable of absorbing and gathering the Power and Divine Material of the Light Elements; contains the Secret of Time.

…

“Divine Artifact?”

The moment Leonard looked at the disc, he instantly knew that the Red Dragon Royal Family was here for this object.

A creature of the Sect of Light?

Just from reading these few words of introduction, Leonard Churchill had already grasped the Red Dragon Royal Family’s strategy for breaking the deadlock.

However, this thing wouldn’t be so easy to obtain.

The Black Crow false report banquet earlier had restored the scene from a hundred years ago.

And now, the true S-rank storyline itself began.

As the fantasy world shattered, everyone emerged.

Among the dozen or so from the Red Dragon Royal Family, aside from Princess Sofia, only four or five were still alive, each bearing wounds.

Yet in this seal space, another force was present.

Leading them was a woman cloaked in a dark crimson cape; Leonard glimpsed her golden hair and figure, recognizing her instantly–it was the Light Saintess who had been lying on the stone dais before.

Beside her followed a dozen mysterious figures.

At this moment, however, Leonard detected the scent of the vampire on these people.

Transformed into vampires, this Saintess retained her appearance from a century ago.

In an instant, the storyline from before connected.

He realized that the mysterious noble who had hired the hunter Chloe was this Light Saintess from a hundred years past.

Evidently, Black Crow Fort had indeed been destroyed a hundred years ago.

But in reality, a part of ‘Crimson Corruption Seyadis’s’ force had successfully descended.

Presumably wounded in the battle with the Sect of Light and fleeing for a century, she was now back to find this seal.

This was the hidden storyline beneath the “Bandits of Black Crow Castle” scenario.

Enlightenment confirmed all of Leonard’s conjectures.

“Hidden storyline complete: Mysterious Employer. A Light Saintess from a hundred years ago has become a vampire’s pawn, seeking to break the seal once more… Participation 100%, Reward A-rank storyline*1.”

This was the S-grade storyline.

The normal main quest was to simply wipe out the bandits.

Now what they had to do was to kill this Saintess, who was at least of the Third Tier.

However, Leonard felt that since Princess Sofia had obtained the Holy Pattern of Light, dealing with the former Saintess shouldn’t pose much of a problem.

But at that moment, an unexpected event occurred again.

Rapid footsteps echoed through the corridors, signaling someone was approaching.

Leonard, the people of the Red Dragon Royal Family, and the former Saintess along with her ensemble of Non-Player Characters all instinctively looked in that direction.

At a glance, a stout dwarf warrior charged in first.

Even without seeing his face, thanks to the height and familiar armor, Leonard recognized him at once–it was the Dwarf Gangduodu.

Following close behind were David, Serli, and Gale.

Of course, there was also the gravely “Jessica.”

As the various parties encountered each other in the seal space, the atmosphere bizarrely tensed for a moment.

It was as if time had stopped.

Each group was sizing up the others.

Gangduodu’s group seemed pleased to see Leonard, as if to say: We’re here to rescue you!

At the same time, they were puzzled, as if to ask: What’s happening here?

“…”

Leonard read their expressions and was torn between laughter and tears.

With the battle imminent, he felt that seeing his comrades now was not a good sign.

And he could guess that it must have been Jessica who had led them here.

This woman represented the Holy Church, her methods unknown.

Now the remnants of the Church of Light were here…

Things were about to get lively.
