Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 859: Chapter 269: The Old Man, the Second Solution, Puppet Master (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_4

It was the top fighter from eighty years ago facing off against the top fighter from twenty years ago.

Once again, the onlookers gazed at the old man standing in the air, controlling the air, their eyes now filled with respect and awe.

They saw the peak of card masters.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The New King of Orlan, Arthur, and his three guards hadn’t gone far.

Suddenly, they saw a blazing comet streak past them.

After crashing through dozens of ruined buildings, the figure was buried in the rubble.

The few of them watching this scene also stiffened in expression.

They thought the fight would at least be fiercely tense, but who could have expected a single encounter would send someone flying like that?

The other three Knights under the King changed their expressions drastically and almost without hesitation turned around to form a triangle around the King, guarding him.

When they looked again at the old man hovering in the sky, their breathing had become heavy.

“Divine Power?”

Others may not know what Barre Shepherd’s realm really meant, but their Orlan Royal Family has always had a complete heritage.

This old man, he has already crossed that threshold.

Arthur’s eyes filled with gloom, he never wanted it to come to this.

For the first time, someone made his high and mighty “Tyrant” feel a deadly threat.

But with things as they were, there was no room for easing tensions.

And such a powerful card master, if not one of their own, must not be allowed to live!

If they could take care of him in this Mysterious Realm, all the better.

Even if they had to reveal more of the Royal Family’s long-accumulated foundation, this person must be left with nothing.

In a deep voice, Arthur ordered, “At all costs, kill him!”

….

With the King’s command issued, the atmosphere on the battlefield changed instantly.

The Orlan Royal Family were descendants of the glorious Taren Dynasty’s King of Augustus from three thousand years ago, and they held, not only their heritages, but also some powerful ancient Relics.

Their foundation was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The “Demigods”, unreachable for others, were within their reach with a complete heritage.

Even a few hundred years ago, Orlan Royal Family still had true Tier 7 card masters.

They had not intended to reveal too much too soon.

Now, it seemed, they must use some hidden measures.

The cloaked figure beside Arthur, who had not taken action until now, looked at Barre Shepherd and let out a strange laugh, “Heh heh, I didn’t expect that someone amongst the common folk could break through this realm. Well then, it seems my Puppet army is about to gain another powerful main combat Puppet…”

Saying this, he pulled out several cards imprinted with various Puppets and channeled his Curse Power, “Domain·Domingo’s Royal Theater Plaza!”

The cards disintegrated, and dozens of Puppets of various shapes appeared beside him.

On the other side, a Flame Giant, with a fierce and violent expression, walked out of the ruins.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and in a Demon God’s low purr, he said solemnly, “I originally thought there was no one in this world who could force me to use this form. Now that there is, it’s just perfect to give it a try…”

His tone was not only free of the frustration of being repelled with a single blow.

But rather, his Fighting Intent was growing more robust.

As if using some Secret Skill with a tremendous burden, vitality and blood surged into him, Hogan’s face flashed a color of gold paper, and at the same time, he called out softly, “Second release!”

While walking, the Curse Power crazily burst out from his body, and the Illusion of the Demon Bird behind him had undergone a massive transformation.

Three eerie bird heads with flaming feathers exploded, a force several times more intense than before from the Demon God pressed down on the entire field.

Getting increasingly abstract, it became something unbearable to look at directly, indescribable in its form.

Without a previous comparison, it seemed unremarkable, but now it appeared as if the Illusion of the Demon God had gone from a tame house cat to a fierce tiger.

This Second Demon Solution had already transformed into another form.

“Domain·Catastrophe Melting Space.”

Once Hogan’s eerie state emerged, his Domain also underwent a qualitative transformation.

Wherever he passed, the high temperatures visibly twisted the surroundings.

The flesh, now a melting furnace.

…

In the distance, Sophia Jones watched this scene with a solemn expression, thinking of something, “The legendary ‘Second Demonic Solution’?!”

Even Barre Shepherd in the sky narrowed his pupils ever so slightly.

But that was all.

He remarked nonchalantly to himself, “Well well, bringing out the real deal, huh? Now it’s getting interesting…”

Considering the petty skirmishing before, he had hardly been excited.

Now… he felt the intensity was just right.

Someone of his Realm has never been afraid of facing strong foes.

On the contrary, he considered himself lucky.

How many years have passed without a worthy opponent?

Sixty or seventy years now, perhaps…

This time, he had finally found an enemy who seemed challenging enough.

Shepherd looked again at Hogan’s transforming Illusion of the Demon God and muttered to himself, “Is this the ‘Second Release’ of the Demon Mark that old man Merlin spoke about which only the flesh of a Demigod could withstand? Tsk tsk… quite nice indeed.”

The two old men had previously discussed these high-end topics about Super Tier matters.

Two conditions were necessary to step into Tier 7 without Mutation.

Comprehending “Divine Power” was one;

The second was that the flesh had to be strong enough;

Strong enough to support the Extraordinary Traits of the Profession Card and the body filled with the Demon’s Power of the “Second Demonic Solution”…

Previously, they were mostly guessing based on scattered bits of information.

Now, seeing the “real thing” himself.@@novelbin@@

Shepherd was even looking forward to it.

They had long speculated that Orlan Remnants might hide some special techniques.

Now upon seeing it, it was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Even though Merlin said, the Pursuer of Light had deduced that the New King of Orlan must not and could not die.

At this moment, Shepherd had never felt such a strong desire to give it a try.
