Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 1619: Chapter 491: Mirrored Space Reappears_3 Chapter 1619: Chapter 491: Mirrored Space Reappears_3 Others do not know how to crack this special space, but he knows it is related to the “Time Rule.”

The Time Rule is one of the supreme laws of the universe; Leonard Churchill has only ever encountered two people who truly touched upon its secrets.

These were Elder Clinton and Colin.

Thus, when he saw Colin appear previously, a thought surfaced in Leonard’s mind: Could it be that Colin came here because the Illumination Secret Society possesses that Mirrored Space?

Unexpectedly, amidst countless deductions, one possibility actually materialized.

Bonnie and the others also heard the conversation between Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones, and everyone then realized that they seemed to have fallen into a deadly predicament.

However, the question arose: how to resolve it now?

Sophia Jones cast an inquiring gaze, seemingly asking: What should we do now?

Leonard Churchill knew that some things should not be explicitly stated, especially not to involve others too deeply in cause and effects related to Elder Clinton, given their strong intent.

Thus, he only said one sentence: “Protect Senior Clinton well.”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into contemplation.

No one asked further, simply nodding silently.

…

Soon, Leonard and the others understood why Elder Clinton said that they were lost.

Although they were walking in one direction, as they walked, it seemed they passed through a spatial barrier, and suddenly the sound of fighting emerged from the Dense Forest ahead.

Approaching closer, they saw a Magic Tower, still ten stories high despite being cut in half, starkly visible.

In the sky, half was blood clouds, and the other half bright sunshine.

All around were ruins.

If this wasn’t Firefly Camp, then what was it?

Going in circles, they actually returned to the camp.

Members of the Great Sword Group looked at this eerie scene, their expressions equally grave.

The battle in the camp was already fiercely intense; the number of Hell Bats had reduced from before, but still floated like clusters of dark clouds above the camp.

[Apocalyptic Thunder Ape],[Phoenix],[Hell Flying Dragon],[Thunderbolt Dragon Lizard]… and a few [Nether Peacocks] Eighth-Order Magical Beasts, were battling human adventurers in the forests around the camp.

This was deep in the Magical Beast Forest; the adventurers who could make it here all had some means to protect their lives.

After the earlier panic caused by the scattering of the camp, the survivors quickly assembled to counterattack.

The Holy Tribunal had ambushed with many elites; even with heretics causing trouble, they would not let a few Magical Beasts annihilate the camp.

Several large Mercenary Groups and the Royal Knights formed battle formations, containing the Crimson Sect and the Holy Tribunal’s people, while the rest fought against the Magical Beasts.

The Magical Beasts were initially attracted by the aura of the Divine Fragment, but observing the situation now, they realized that it might not be possible to snatch that item from humans. Additionally, Magical Beasts had a stronger sense of crisis than humans; they too seemed to notice the spatial issue.

Several lord-level beasts did not dare approach the main battlefield but scattered around the forest, with subtle signs of retreating.

However, Leonard and his group demonstrated through actual actions, that no one could leave now.

After quickly assessing the situation, Leonard looked at the nearby [Nether Peacock] whose wings were pierced by the Magic Tower and suggested, “How about we hunt some Magical Beasts first?”

“Uh-huh.”

Sophia Jones also nodded.

Given the current situation, they could not engage in the multi-factional melee.

But they also could not leave.

Instead of sneaking around and watching, suspect of scrutiny, it was better to first focus on those Magical Beasts.

In other places, hunting an Eighth Rank [Nether Peacock] not only requires assessing one’s own combat power to see if one can prevail but also to beware of it flying away.

Now the space was restricted, there was no escaping.

The Nether Peacock was also injured; there wasn’t a better opportunity than this.

Furthermore, it was not just that peacock. Visibly, around the camp in the forest were at least dozens of Sixth Tier and above Magical Beasts, either fighting with humans or scattered around looking for an exit…

Normally, even in the Magical Beast Forest, finding such a High Tier Magical Beast could take ten days to half a month, depending on luck.

But now, it was like a zoo, with creatures everywhere.

…

While Leonard and his group were causing trouble for those Magical Beasts.

Atop a dilapidated building in the camp.

A youth with star-shaped brows and sword-like eyes leaned against the bedside, watching the chaos outside with a nonchalant expression.

It was none other than Colin, whom Leonard had previously met.

Watching, the youth murmured with a sigh, “The leader’s deduction was spot on. The Holy Tribunal people would definitely seal the space, using an unexpected method. Heh, this Mirrored Space, without understanding the Time Rule, there really isn’t any chance of getting out… I might go and create an opening for them.”

Having said that, he suddenly took out a black cloak with special patterns and draped it over himself, then put on an ancient-looking, stone-like mask.

With the mask covering his face, an ancient and mystical aura emanated.

If Leonard were here, he would certainly recognize the pattern on the mask. It belonged to one of the Thirteen Knights of the Illumination Secret Society–the “Time Speaker.”

Before the dawn arrives, the timekeeper in the dire night.
