Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 838: Chapter 264: The Surprising Reward for Killing the Shadow_4

“`

After all, she had personally killed her own shadow before, and she knew how troublesome a shadow that had completely replicated her abilities could be.

But how could this person in front of her so easily inflict such heavy damage on the shadow?

Not only was Catherine Carter shocked beyond measure, but Lew Williams and Monica, who were a bit farther away, were equally astounded.

The same thought occurred to all three of them simultaneously: How did Leonard Churchill do it?

….

“So that’s how it is.”

Leonard Churchill watched as the shadow was flung backward, but he wasn’t idle.

He too exploded with a cyclone underfoot and shot forward like a cannonball.

For experts of their caliber, one opening was enough to cause serious harm.

The punch just now was enough to make the shadow reveal a fatal flaw.

Leonard Churchill charged forward, knowing full well what his duplicated self would do after being wounded, having been a copy of himself.

A series of heavy punches stormed out.

The Overlord Fist combo rippled through the air, one after another, and the injured shadow was forced back again and again.

Lucky for the shadow, it was completely true to his own bodily strength and could take a beating.@@novelbin@@

Otherwise, a typical Third Tier would have been killed on the spot.

Leonard Churchill had already grasped the whole situation.

It wasn’t that the shadow wasn’t strong enough, but rather, “he” lacked something.

The martial skills were identical to his own, and the strength and all other attributes were the same.

However, this shadow had not replicated the “Intention.”

In the very first exchange, Leonard Churchill perceived the shadow’s killing intention very clearly.

Once he locked onto that “Intention,” the opponent’s intentions couldn’t be clearer.

By anticipating “his” next move, Leonard Churchill was able to land a devastating blow.

Just like that.

A battle they expected to be fierce ended amidst the dumbfounded stares of the three onlookers.

Leonard Churchill didn’t struggle much and seemed to easily kill the shadow.

Enlightenment also followed suit.

‘Defeating a “Junior Self Duplicator,” earn a special item “Skill Level Upgrade Card*1″‘

‘Blessing from the Divine Ruins Treasure House, Temporary Comprehension +1’

Leonard Churchill looked at the card left behind by the disintegrating shadow, and his expression froze.

Then, his eyes lit up with joy: “A Skill Level Upgrade Card actually dropped?”

[Skill Level Upgrade Card]

Explanation: An exclusive, time-limited card; can increase the proficiency level of any skill not exceeding one’s own cognition; use within 12 hours or it will disappear;

“What a great item!”

Leonard Churchill was truly pleasantly surprised.

He thought he would receive a rare skill book, but instead, this turned up.

He had gotten one during his first participation in “Outpost Battle” in the Alternate Dimension while opening the reward chest at the end.

But such an opportunity was hard to come by, requiring not only a high-difficulty war duplication but also a great deal of luck.

Unexpectedly, another one appeared now!

Without a second thought, Leonard Churchill immediately applied it to the [Demon’s Feast Lv3(8741/16000)].

Instantly, it became [Demon’s Feast Lv4(11/80000)]!

He had spent an entire day the previous day grinding this ability of the Demon God and only managed to increase the proficiency by a few hundred points, so to rise a whole level was significant.

This feeling of elation was extreme pleasure.

In an instant, he could feel the range of the Feast expanding nearly twofold, and the efficiency of devouring increased by several times.

“I hit the jackpot!”

Leonard Churchill could hardly contain his excitement.

This was a huge bonus for him at this point.

The Mysterious Realm was filled with monsters, and he was just worrying about the slow devouring rate.

And then this card appeared.

“`

“`

This was enough to support him in rapidly absorbing Extraordinary Traits and enhancing his combat power.

Moreover… temporary Comprehension stacked up again!

Now, Leonard Churchill had understood that the nature of the “Divine Ruins Treasure House” was truly a kind of trial that encouraged card masters to obtain a legacy!

….

As Leonard pondered his own changes, he saw Catherine Carter approaching with a puzzled expression.

She looked at him as if she were meeting him for the first time, not concealing her confusion, “How did you… manage to do it?”

Leonard shared his speculation, “This shadow only duplicated my physical attributes. Some attributes that are not on the physical level were not duplicated.”

Catherine: “Mental Power?”

However, no sooner had she spoken than she rejected the idea.

Because her own replica had also duplicated Mental Power.

Leonard didn’t hide anything, “I’ve touched the threshold of ‘Intention’.”

“…”

Catherine listened and instantly had a moment of realization.

But now her gaze became even more peculiar.

Both Third Tiers, Catherine felt like her own talents made her a favored child of heaven.

But this guy… was truly a freak.

Furthermore, Leonard also caught a key phrase from the previous enlightenment.

“Junior replica… Does that mean there are higher-level replicas?”

Leonard suddenly became excited.

If a Junior replica could bring out such surprises, what about the higher-level ones?

Catherine, seeing his expression, already guessed what he was planning to do.

But this time she didn’t speak up to dissuade him.

Because she knew this guy’s character and was certain he couldn’t be persuaded.

Moreover, Catherine herself also had strong expectations.

…

While Leonard and his group were underground.

Elsewhere.

In the West District’s Candy Street, the former headquarters of the Golden Oak Security Company in Sinless City.

The space’s red moonlight shone brightly, and the Mother Tree of Pleasure had taken root here.

With the Mother Tree’s protection, the entire street was immune to the Death Air that pervaded the city, giving these remnants of the Silver Moon Sect a space to barely cling to life.

They had also suffered heavy casualties clearing monsters in the vicinity in the past couple of days.

Seven or eight out of every ten believers had perished.

However, at that moment, a haughty young man crowned with a Thorn Crown strolled leisurely towards them, flanked by several cloaked figures.

Upon seeing him, the Silver Moon Leader and several believers hurriedly bowed respectfully, “Your Majesty.”

The newcomer was none other than Augustus’s New King Arthur, who had previously been lurking in Sinless City.

“This is the ‘Divine Ruins Treasure House’ of my Augustus lineage. To think I didn’t know of its existence in Sinless City. Damn it all! How much did Priest Garcia keep from me, does she realize what she’s doing!”

“My King, it seems that the priestly line has lost their faithfulness to the Augustus Bloodline.”

“Hmph! Once I’m out, she must give me an explanation! It’s one thing not to declare support for my ascension, but now she wants to trap me in this Mysterious Realm as well? Ridiculous, this Mysterious Realm was forged by my ancestors, how could it possibly harm Augustus’s Bloodline!”

“…”

What was a desperate Dead City to others held no threat to New King Arthur.

The monsters not only didn’t harm him, but he also found many Royal Family legacies among the ruins, as well as some authority over the Mysterious Realm.

“Just as well, with all these Federation folks trapped inside, if we kill them all now, our kingdom restoration will be one step closer!”

“Prepare the ritual! The Pursuer of Light’s tier isn’t enough to sustain such a God Tier Spell. The Undead Creatures awakened within the ‘Divine Ruin’ are only at the Seventh Tier… As long as the sacrifice is successful, not only will the Moon God descend, but I will also become a ‘Demigod’!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

With that command, the Silver Moon Leader left to carry out his orders.

The cloaked figures at New King Arthur’s side also began to act, conjuring a black coffin through Spirit Communication.

As chants of Curse after Curse were recited, the branches of the phantom-like Holy Tree of Pleasure in the sky suddenly emitted black threads.

A wide range of terrifying Contamination began to spread rapidly in the Dead City.
