Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 1627

Chapter 1627: Chapter 494: Is This Ability So Outrageous? Chapter 1627: Chapter 494: Is This Ability So Outrageous? Discovery?

No, the clandestine observer in the Void was very skilled at hiding; Leonard Churchill did not find this observer.

It’s just that the commotion caused by the Forbidden Curse was so great that in the reasoning of “I am the world,” there should be such a person.

So he tried a test on a whim.

It can be considered an “unexpected” within expectations, startling such an enigma prowling in the dark.

Of course, the other party might have also guessed that they were not truly exposed.

The initiative to show themselves is probably out of curiosity.

And he would certainly not stand idly by as these ascetics were being killed, nor would he allow Leonard Churchill and his group to escape.

He would definitely take action.

…

Leonard Churchill watched as the man with a composed smile and blonde hair slowly emerged from the Void. He glanced at the violet golden patterns on the edge of the man’s Divine Robe, and had already guessed the identity of the newcomer.

And in the distance, Madam Mister was clearly shocked, urgently reminding, “Be careful, he’s the ‘Heavenly Dragon Saint,’ Chireesa!”

Leonard Churchill listened, his gaze narrowing slightly.

He had not heard of this person’s name.

But he knew what the title “Heavenly Dragon Saint” implied.

Legend had it that those qualified for this title were either transformed descendants of the Dragon Clan or offspring of the Dragon God Airel’s union with humans – those absolute geniuses that the Holy Church selects from billions of Believers…

In short, this fellow was a “Pope Candidate.”

A high-level ruler of the Southern Continent, with a naturally pure Dragon Bloodline, and an incredibly strong talent, this was beyond doubt.

No wonder Madam Mister changed her expression so drastically; even Leonard Churchill felt his scalp tingle at the sight of this man.

This sense of oppression was much stronger than the Seventh-order Ascetic from before.

It felt as if just one moment of carelessness would indeed lead to being killed by this man.

But this moment of eye contact made Leonard Churchill feel very strange.

He had seen Griffith assassinate a Ninth Rank Red Cardinal before.

So he was sure that this person’s tier was definitely not the kind of supreme powerhouse that was completely incomprehensible, and might not even be Eighth Rank.

Yet the threat of death felt so tangible.

Apart from the power itself, Leonard Churchill’s gaze fell upon the [Curse God Card * Colorful JOKER] in the man’s hand, murmuring to himself: “The most mysterious Curse God card, what use does it have?”

He himself held the [Black Spade 4] and the [Grey JOKER] cards.

Therefore, he dared not be negligent about the effects of this most mysterious Curse God card.

…

At these words, the ascetics also hurriedly bowed and greeted, “Holy Son.”

And the ones who had been observing from afar, such as Sophia Jones and her group, also rushed in, guarding Leonard Churchill’s side.

The confrontation of experts from both sides began at once.

Saint Heir Chireesa glanced at Sophia Jones and the others, who were on full alert, as if he was intrigued, “Oh, there are more experts here.”

He possessed the supreme right to look down on everything and the talent to tower above all beings.

His tone was lazy, revealing no fear, it even sounded more like mockery: “Hey, this really is a surprising discovery. I thought my biggest gain this time would be these heretics. I didn’t expect to find you guys hidden here…”

As he spoke, he seemed to have spotted a more valuable prey and casually threw Princess Sofia, who was covered in blood, onto the ground.

…

This Saintess from the Sect of Light should have infiltrated the Magic Tower to carry out a plan to steal the bait, and it seems that she had failed.

Leonard Churchill was not surprised.

The presence of the Heavenly Dragon Saint showed how much the Holy See’s upper echelons valued this trapping plan.

And it was precisely because of this man, Leonard Churchill felt that Reuel Bible and the others’ real plan had just started.

It’s like a game of cards, where when both sides start playing their “big cards,” the battle truly begins.

Leonard Churchill watched the self-assured blonde youth, feeling a deadly threat, yet for some reason, he was more excited than ever.

A smile gradually appeared on his lips, reaching his ears.

When evenly matched, both parties would feel the same.

Saint Heir Chireesa narrowed his eyes at the Clown Demon God Illusion behind Leonard Churchill, and seemed to sense a faint threat, muttering to himself: “An Inheritor designated by Emperor Lanlingster? Oh dear, those Holy Dragon Guard intelligence gatherers should be purged again, how could they not know such important information…”

“…”

Leonard Churchill did not speak.

He knew that the other party had misunderstood, probably thinking that they were heretical organizations like the Church of Light.

But there was no need to explain.

From the moment he saw the [Colorful JOKER] card in the hand of this man, Leonard Churchill knew, between him and the enemy, only one could survive.

Sophia Jones knew this too.

She quietly approached Leonard Churchill’s side and said with a grave expression, “This guy is very powerful, let me do this…”

She understood that without full effort, today’s situation was a checkmate.

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill responded with a sly smile, “It’s not the time yet.”

Sophia Jones’s eyes flickered at these words, but she immediately understood something tacitly, “But…”

She heard it, Leonard Churchill must have seen further Cause and Effect, and did not want her to make a move yet.

But what she wanted to say was, without her action, no one could stop that guy.

“No rush.”

Leonard Churchill of course knew the risk was substantial.

But the smile on his face became increasingly radiant, his blood boiling with excitement he could barely contain.

In the game, the later the big cards are played the better, especially if the enemy is unaware of them.

He was very clear, now was not the time for Sophia Jones to be revealed;
Moreover, even if she took full action, the enemy would surely play an even bigger card to suppress.

Apart from making things more difficult, it would be meaningless.
