Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 832: Chapter 263: Divine Ruin_2

But Leonard Churchill directly absorbed all the extraordinary traits within the monster corpses, eliminating any possibility for the monsters to resurrect.

These undead instead became the nutrients for his attribute enhancements.

The low-tier corpses could provide only a tiny amount of extraordinary traits.

However, with the number of a few thousand in a building,

the total amount was still considerable.

Leonard proceeded to harvest in this way, while also keeping an eye on directions where intense battles were taking place within the city.

…

“You have used Feast Devour, Physique +0.022”

“You have used Feast Devour, Strength +0.015”

“Feast Devour, Tenacity +…”

“…”

Time passed quickly, and more than twenty hours flew by in a blink.

Enlightenment had become numbing due to repetition.

Leonard checked his Attribute Panel. After absorbing traits all night, his familiarity with them had increased by several points, and his affinity for all Elements, especially for the Dark Type, had significantly risen.

He was excessively familiar with the local terrain of this neighborhood, never encountering any surprises.

Feeling a bit weary from the killing, he found a ruined building with escape routes to sit cross-legged and rest.

Then he continued with the slaughter.

However, because he was unclear about the actual situation of this space, he dared not stir up too much trouble.

He kept it to farming minor monsters the entire time.

Because his intuition told Leonard that this mysterious realm was definitely not something one could leave simply by killing monsters.

He slew the undead creatures purely to absorb their extraordinary traits.

Yet.

It wasn’t until he killed the first Catastrophe that Enlightenment occurred,

and he realized,

this space was no simple matter.

In the basement of a dilapidated building, behind closed concrete walls,

a tall undead creature had transformed into a pile of rotting flesh on the ground.

Enlightenment prompt: “Successfully killed ‘Third Tier B-grade Catastrophe·Flesh Licker,’ gained ‘Temporary Comprehension +1’.”

“There’s actually Enlightenment?”

Leonard truly began to doubt whether this was the Alternate Dimension or not.

And looking at the Attribute Panel, there really was a temporary boost of “Comprehension +1” in the status bar.

What’s more outrageous followed.

Leonard watched as a booklet suddenly floated up from the corpse.

This corpse actually dropped an item.

On the booklet was written [Secret Technique·Bird Cry Strike].@@novelbin@@

It wasn’t a Skill Card, but a actual skill book that had dropped directly.

Secret Techniques are slightly less rare than Mysteries, but also considered valuable items.

Leonard picked up the booklet to examine it, which indeed recorded a rare Sonic Wave Type Spell cultivation technique.

Looking at it, he felt somewhat puzzled and speculated, “Does this mean that this space encourages those within to kill monsters for rewards?”

No drops before, could it be because the monsters killed were too weak?

Third Tier can drop Secret Techniques.

So what about those Super Tier monsters?

Could they possibly drop Transcendent card master skills?

“Why does this space feel like some kind of ‘Trial Field’ or ‘Inheritance Land’?”

At this moment, Leonard seemed to have grasped the true nature of this space.

But the problem still persisted, even if he continued killing monsters, there was no exit.

Leonard stored the Secret Technique Book and went up to the surface.

The red moon in the sky was still dazzling.

The Silver Moon Sect must be trying to collect as much faith power as possible to dabble in some Ancient God’s Evil Skill.

Those Vampires from the Bloody Sect, God knows what they are up to.

But their situation probably wasn’t good either.

The city full of Undead Creatures was not only attacking the living; those Ancient God Devotees were also under attack.

Mushroomhead brought these people in, intending for the monsters to clear them out.

The fighting continued, and fire could be seen everywhere at the edge of the field of vision, but it had quieted down quite a bit from the beginning.

This time, the millions of people from Sinless City had all been dragged in, and the battles were far from over.

Leonard felt that if he could survive, there must also be other survivors.

Having grown somewhat tired from earlier battles, he decided to rest for a moment.

He had just begun meditating cross-legged when he suddenly opened his eyes in surprise: “Eh, this ‘Comprehension +1’ temporary boost has some tricks to it!”

He already had a high Enlightenment due to the support of JOKER and the Mask.

A little higher, and sometimes it made the difference between scoring 59 and 60, making for a complete transformation.

A moment ago, he had casually contemplated the Secret Skills he had learned, and found his thoughts to be much clearer.

“If I had more of this kind of Comprehension boost, stacking Enlightenment, wouldn’t it make learning anything much easier?”

Leonard seemed to have suddenly found an opportunity to exploit a loophole.

The study of those Demon God Secret Skills was slow, all needing extremely high Enlightenment to understand.

Now that there was a shortcut in this Secret Realm, why not give it a try?

Since he couldn’t die for the time being, Leonard immediately put his plan into action.

Before long, he lured the two Catastrophes he had intentionally avoided earlier to a secluded place and dispatched them.

Enlightenment occurred twice, yielding two Secret Manuals.

“Killed ‘Third Tier Catastrophe·Nightmare Wolf Spider,’ gained ‘Temporary Luck +1,’ obtained ‘Secret Technique·Web Technique.’

“Killed ‘Third Tier Catastrophe·Rainbow Poison Zombie,’ obtained [Detailed Study of a Hundred Kinds of Toxins].”

Although he did not gain more “Comprehension” boosts, this time, Leonard was certain.

One of the key functions of this space was that of an Inheritance-type Mysterious Realm.

It’s not that low-tier monsters didn’t drop items, but that one had to kill Catastrophes of the same tier to get drops.

Thinking like this, Catastrophes would guaranteed drop Transcendent Scriptures.

This was even more exaggerated than the Alternate Dimension.

And if one were to follow this train of thought, if you actually killed those Super Tier monsters, you would certainly obtain scriptures related to Super Tier card masters.

“Could this actually be an inheritance left intentionally by Taron Grand Master in the past?”

Leonard seemed to suddenly understand some of the underlying causes and effects.

He had learned from Noah Wright that, three thousand years ago, Taron Grand Master burned all the Transcendent Scriptures to cut off the contamination of faith.
