Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 595: Chapter 203: The Death of Noah Wright

Nine Hell’s Knights, shrouded in black flames, charged towards their respective targets.

Weapons clashed, Techniques collided…

The grand tomb became bustling in an instant.

However, for Leonard Churchill and his two companions, this was actually an ideal situation.

Compared to facing that Fourth Tier S-rank Hell’s Knight that could severely injure Camilla with a single blow, taking on clones of their own tier transformed the pressure into something far more manageable.

After all, each of the three was at the pinnacle of combat power within their tier.

Although both Leonard Churchill and Noah Wright were Second Tier, one had attributes that were virtually unmatched within the same tier, while the other, suspected to be a member of the Thirteen Masked Knights, was mysteriously unpredictable.

For monsters within the Second Tier, killing them was very difficult.

And though Camilla herself appeared to be only at the peak of the Third Tier, her current level of Demonic Solution was extremely high, making it hard to imagine an enemy within the same tier that could pose a threat.

Although they couldn’t see any immediate hope of conserving their forces, there were no life-threatening dangers for the three of them in the short term.

By contrast, the others in the tomb weren’t in such good straits.

Although the nine inside the tomb each faced a clone Hell’s Knight of their own tier,

this Catastrophe was, after all, a monster formed from the magical power fused by the strongest human champion and a Demon Commander of the Kingdom from a century ago.

Just the enhancements of the First Holy Knight’s Martial Skill insights, dragon descendant physique, Hellfire, and Celestial Godfall techniques already made him invincible within his tier.

At the initial charge by the monster’s clone, a Third Tier B-rank Demon Commander—the Double-headed Dragon Lizard—was immediately imprisoned by a Gravitational Secret Technique and unable to break free.

Then, it was pierced through the chest by a Hell’s Knight’s lance, dying on the spot.

The other two Demon Commanders, though not dead, were wounded and chased into a pitiful state, their chances of surviving extremely slim.

Prince Sane and Red Dragon Yuen, both Fourth Tier, faced Fourth Tier S-rank Hell’s Knights, and the pressure they were under was immense.

Fortunately, one understood the Godfall Secret Technique and the other was a Dragon Descendant with the gift of Hellfire. Each had a certain resistance to the monster’s abilities and could hold on for a while.

The Hunchbacked Old Cook, although Third Tier, wielded Necromancy that was tricky and powerful and was proficient in various divine secret skills, seeming not to show any signs of defeat.

The battle within the Underground Cave erupted with intensity in an instant.

…

Leonard Churchill wasn’t curious about the state of the others.

The overall situation had now become clear: the rule within this monster’s Domain was to first defeat the clones, or be killed.

Leonard Churchill, transformed into a Werewolf, began a melee with the Hell’s Knight.

After previously drinking Holy Grail Water, his physical attributes on the data panel had all improved by about 5%.

At this moment, Leonard’s combat state was at its peak.

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

“…”

The frequent sharp clashes of metal resounded.

Leonard, torn by the strange gravitational force, found the Werewolf’s Agility advantage greatly limited, forcing him to repeatedly block with the Useless Great Sword.

Fortunately, having observed Prince Sane’s battle earlier, he had learned quite a bit about two-handed Great Sword techniques. His skill panel now displayed proficiency at an “Intermediate Great Sword Specialization” level, making use feel quite natural.

Moreover, it was this Disaster -item level Great Sword that allowed him to block the fatal lance strikes several times.

Indeed, as a Second Tier S-rank Catastrophe, the monster had Leonard completely outmatched, despite his absurdly high physical attributes and combat power.

Even though both were of the Second Tier, the monster did not use any techniques that exceeded its tier, but with Garen’s combative consciousness enhancing it, there were absolutely no weaknesses in its Fighting Techniques.

Even if they used the same Martial Skill, there was a huge difference in potency.

Leonard, using a Martial Skill, was merely “scratching the surface,” while the monster’s execution was “the pinnacle of perfection.”

This kind of suppression on the level of skill left Leonard, as the one taking the blows, no chance to take advantage of any Martial Skill.

Besides, the monster was nearly invincible with its body clad in dragon scales and Hellfire.

In the short term, he couldn’t think of any effective way to inflict damage on this Hell’s Knight covered in dragon scales.

But a powerful opponent wasn’t necessarily bad news for Leonard.

As long as he wasn’t dead, the gap between them was shrinking.

Because, with Demonic Solution’s Joker, he could steal others’ Martial Skills!

The longer the battle went on, the less mysterious his opponent’s techniques became.

In the midst of intense combat, his Enlightenment kept refreshing.

‘Under immense pressure, comprehended “Fifty-two Demonic God Forbidden Techniques: Celestial Godfall,” Skill Understanding +53’

‘Under immense pressure, comprehended “Fifty-two Demonic God Forbidden Techniques: Celestial Godfall,” Skill Understanding +81’

‘You have learned “Knight Spear Nine Consecutive Strikes” in battle, Proficiency +244…’

‘You have comprehended “Fight Air Control Fire,” Proficiency +188…’

‘Your insights in battle have increased your basic Martial Skills Proficiency by +985…’

‘…’

Leonard had already mastered Demonic Solution and quickly immersed himself in that outrageous state of learning.

His body’s negative state completely cleared, and his capacity for comprehension reached its peak.

Every move of the Hell’s Knight was witnessed by Leonard, etched into his mind, never to be forgotten.

His Enlightenment also rose continuously.

The Martial Skill difficulty that a Second Tier Knight could master wasn’t high and for someone of Leonard’s Enlightenment, he could pretty much grasp seventy to eighty percent of it on sight.

What was rare was that Epic Heroic combative intention.

This was an exceptional experience Leonard had never had with any opponent before.

As the fight continued, he was struck by flashes of inspiration at times.

It was as though a window had suddenly opened up for the use of a Fighting Technique.

The realization felt like…

Ah, so that’s another way to use the basic Martial Skills!
