Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 1595

Chapter 1595: Chapter 485: Death Domain Chapter 1595: Chapter 485: Death Domain The Great Sword Group journeyed toward the wilderness.

Deep in the Magical Beast Forest, a powerful Lord-level Demon Beast lurked every few hundred miles.

With Leonard Churchill’s accurate information as their guide, they continuously hunted a large number of Demon Beasts and found many precious herbs.

With Sophia Jones’s extraordinary combat power, the Great Sword Group encountered frightening situations without danger and successfully hunted down both the Earth Brown Bear and the Flame Lion King, two Seventh-Order Lord Monsters.

Their greatest gain came from a Gale Demon Wolf Clan that approached them.

The battle was fierce, and many in the team were injured.

However, the rewards were substantial.

In the end, the Seventh-Rank Demon Wolf Lord and hundreds of low to mid-tier Demon Wolves provided them with numerous high-tier Demon Beast materials.

The Great Sword Group’s achievements in just this half-month journey were almost equivalent to what they had planned for at least six months.

Just like that, several days passed.

…

To the southeast of the Blackwater Swamp lies a lush underground cave that leads to the Fairy Forest where the Elemental Elves reside.

This forest is vast, inhabited by countless Demon Beasts and Extraordinary Beings.

Deep in the forest lies a spring known as “Rainbow Spring.”

This has been the dwelling place of the Elemental Elves for tens of thousands of years.

One day, inside the forest,
Hundred-meter-tall giant trees lay toppled in every direction, and the chaotic forest was marked everywhere by scorch marks.

The still-burning branches emitted eerie Black Fire, and the surrounding soil was scorched into a hard crystalline form.

A fierce battle had just taken place here.

At this moment, in a huge charred pit on the ground, Sophia Jones pulled her great sword from a ten-meter-long, two-headed dog-like Monster.

With the last traces of life fading from the hellish creature, the mysterious Black Fire steaming from its body finally extinguished.

Only then could everyone see its skin, cracked and hot like magma.

Even in death, the Monster exuded a terrifying aura.

Without Sophia Jones’s powerful strength, they would have all become the Monster’s food long ago.

Watching their leader defeat the Monster, the members of the Great Sword Group gathered around.

“My goodness, the Black Fire it spewed almost melted my Relic-level shield…”

“Yes, that Black Fire is truly formidable. I’m lucky I dodged quickly. Even several meters away, the flame burned through my Body Protection Curse Shield. It even scorched my flesh…ouch!”

“Leonard, brother, what kind of Monster is this? I’ve never heard of it before.”

“It’s likely a Hellish Two-headed Dog. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it; it’s a type of Mythical Bloodline Demon Beast, said to only appear at the gates of Hell or some undead territories…”

“Mythical species? Oh man, no wonder it felt so domineering. Hahaha, we’re pretty lucky, huh? This is already the third Lord-level mythical Monster we’ve encountered.”

“Yes. This Monster’s physical body is absurdly strong, and its control over Elements is exaggerated. The Material is suitable for both Magic Type and melee fighters. Most importantly, two heads mean two Crystal Cores, allowing us to craft two sets of Advancement Material at once. Koli, Old White, you two are in for a treat…”

…

Heat radiates from the Flame Law, and cold is the eroding effect of the Dark Law on the Soul.

This is “Hellfire.”

It’s a very high-tier ability of darkness and fire dual Elements, mastered only by high-order Hellish Creatures.

Leonard Churchill, upon his Occupation Advancement, grasped a bit of this power, thus recognized it at a glance.

Beside the deep pit, as the Monster died, the people still didn’t dare to get too close.

Even from a distance, they vividly felt a bizarre sensation of cold and heat.

But hearing Leonard confirm it was a Mythical species, everyone was extremely excited!

Such a rare Material, once encountered, signifies a future rise to the Seventh Rank!

…

Sophia Jones sheathed her great sword and approached the deep pit.

Handling the corpse wasn’t her task; she approached Leonard, who stood puzzling at the edge of the pit, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Leonard shared his current thoughts, “The Classic Books record that mature Hellhounds are no larger than ten meters. This one is much bigger.”

Sophia guessed what he meant and also said, “Are you suggesting it mutated like that Serpent King before?”

“Mhm.”

Leonard nodded, then added, “Before, I wasn’t sure if the ‘gigantism’ mutation of that King Snake was random or targeted. Now it seems, it’s probably targeted.”

Hearing this, Sophia fell into thought and said, “You suspect both mutations originated from the same cause? But, this Hellhound doesn’t have a Divine Fragment…”

Uncontrolled mutations are called “Mutations.”

If controllable, it’s a genetic enhancement, also referred to as a mutation.

Leonard thought of this and couldn’t help but remember Master Merlin.

That top biologist had once mentioned that this kind of stable bloodline enhancement is essentially an unlimited enhancement Profession Card.

Like his own “Crimson Contamination.”

To be able to control mutations is like advancing an extra Sequence step beyond others.

With this in mind, he pondered more and explained, “I’ve thought about this… I previously encountered targeted mutations in an Alternate Dimension. Those Beings carried the gigantic genes of the mythical Titan bloodline. Such mutations are long-term and might require many generations to manifest. So, I suspect, both this Hellhound and the previous King Snake were oriented toward Titans. And that Divine Fragment likely stemmed from some fallen Titan deity… The King Snake’s mutation relied on these external factors. This Hellhound, on the other hand, likely lived in a mutated environment…”
