Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 596: Chapter 203 Noah Wright’s Death_2

The two sides continued fighting, and little by little Leonard Churchill figured out the various techniques that the Catastrophe possessed.

Although he was still being suppressed due to his proficiency, after knowing himself and the enemy, this suppressive effect became less and less obvious.

Moreover, the most important thing was that “Celestial Godfall” Secret Skill!

Previously, during the struggle for the Holy Grail, he was passively experiencing the quagmire-like Gravity Domain.

Now, in real combat, Hell’s Knight displayed the pinnacle of mastery over this Demon God’s Mysterious Technique that Epic Hero Garen had achieved, truly opening Leonard’s eyes.

Before, when Leonard obtained the Power Gem Golden Sphere, he thought that its gravitational force would only increase the weight burden.

Now that he was fighting, he realized it was not just downward gravitational force, but also various changing gravitational forces, even using gravity to change the target’s displacement, to interrupt certain Spells…

Combined with his own Martial Skills, it could achieve some surprising effects.

Initially, Leonard had no idea of the sinister nature of this Secret Skill, then he was beaten by the monster to the point of embarrassment, narrowly escaping death several times.

But it was precisely because of this extreme pressure that his comprehension of the Secret Skill progressed several times faster than before.

As long as he didn’t die on the spot, it turned into a battle of attrition.

Gradually, he began to grasp some of the key points of this Demon God’s Mysterious Technique.

It felt as though a supreme master who was proficient in this technique was personally showing him the various uses of the Secret Skill in actual combat.

The mystery of this Demon God Secret Skill was slowly unveiled before his eyes.

…

“Thud!”

Another collision between spear and sword, the sharp clang was ear-piercing.

Leonard looked at the blood hole punctured in his shoulder, not daring to relax even a bit in his expressions.

In that last exchange, even though he had deftly blocked Hell’s Knight’s [Heavy Strike Thrust], for a moment, the suddenly changed gravitational force made his Great Sword tilt as if magnetized, altering the angle of the blade.

The Knight’s spear slid along the sword and then struck his left shoulder.

Leonard quickly retreated to gain some distance, exhaling slightly and feeling deeply: “This monster’s combat consciousness is really strong… it can even sharply capture such weak points.”

Not only could he learn.

After several exchanges, the monster had also become familiar with Leonard’s move patterns.

But this wasn’t the monster gaining intelligence, it was combat instinct.

Seeing moves and dismantling them had formed a muscle-memory-like combat consciousness.

This point put Leonard in frequent danger.

It showed just how strong that Epic Hero was, a century ago!

At the moment the injury was sustained, greenish light swirled around the wound on his shoulder, and it quickly healed as if nothing had happened.

If not for mastering the “Curse of Immortality” Demon God’s Mysterious Technique, such an injury would have been equivalent to losing an arm, enough to be a fatal point in the subsequent clashing.

He had already endured such severe injuries seven or eight times.

That is to say, even though Leonard was nearly invincible as a Second Tier, facing Hell’s Knight under normal circumstances, he would have already died seven or eight times.

“Heh heh…”

However, Leonard’s smile was still radiant.

It was precisely because of facing such a top-notch opponent that he felt the joy of walking the line between life and death.

Neither too strong nor too weak of an opponent could provide this.

This opponent was just right.

Even if it cost a significant portion of his lifespan, for Leonard, the gains were greater than the losses.

He did not have the slightest inclination to cherish his life.

Being able to live brilliantly, that’s when the restored lifespan had meaning to him.

The only issue was that if the battle continued, his Curse Power might not sustain.

And that was indeed the case.

It wasn’t that Leonard wasn’t strong enough; it was that an S-class Catastrophe was simply outrageous.

Out of the corner of his eye, the corpses of two Lords of Hell had long been pinned to the wall, their blood flowing across the land.

Even Prince Sane and Red Dragon Yuri, the two strongest Fourth Tier, were now covered in wounds, appearing as though they wouldn’t last much longer.

Without Leonard’s ability to heal injuries at any moment, any injury would be a weight on the scale of defeat.

…

Leonard fought while observing his surroundings.

Aside from the two Fourth Tier, Camilla was still holding on strong, her body of Elements almost unharmed by those of the same tier, locked in a stalemate with the monster.

Mushroomhead Noah Wright was still comically dodging, unaffected by the Gravity Domain, looking disheveled but uninjured.

Old Cook, proficient in various Necromancies, had used some Secret Skill to summon a tombstone to accompany him, and even though the Hell’s Knight had killed him several times, he was still lively and hopping around.

All the people still surviving were top experts of the same tier and had their own life-saving tricks.

But everyone faced the same problem; they simply couldn’t kill the S-class Catastrophe!

So, to continue fighting like this meant an eventual dead-end for all.

But after fighting for so long, Leonard was now certain of one thing.

Hero Garen wanted to pass on that Secret Skill.

Only the one who received the inheritance could obtain the Holy Grail.

This was the only breaking point he could think of.

But it still wasn’t enough.

And he wasn’t sure if he could last until that point.

He continued to observe his surroundings, looking for other possible breaking points.

But, evidently, someone couldn’t hold on before Leonard.

The Fifth Prince Sane, clad in Golden Armor, was already exhausted, his armor riddled with cracks and his helmet shattered, his body charred.

Although it seemed like his understanding of the Demon God’s Mysterious Techniques had deepened quite a bit, the monster couldn’t be killed.
