Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 875: Chapter 274 Miss Roundhead says, “Toss into the Underworld

The crimson Blood Mist spread through the ruins, growing thicker by the moment until soon you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

Leonard Churchill guessed that Count Nikola was preparing to make his move.

Being trapped in this Mysterious Realm was a certain death sentence sooner or later, and after lurking for seven days, it was time for one final gamble.

It was bound to be fierce.

If Leonard could think of this, then those other survivors surely could as well.

Leaving others aside, those Thirteen Masked Knights would certainly take action to stop it.

Although he didn’t know how many of the Thirteen Knights had arrived besides Master Merlin.

But considering Mushroomhead dared to make a move, he must have some confidence.

There was also Barre Shepherd.

That old man probably wasn’t that easy to kill.

“What can I do…”

Leonard fell into thought.

He knew he had no place in a direct battle.

But in a card game, it isn’t just the high cards that matter, sometimes the small cards have their unbelievable uses too.

For example, in certain rules, the enemy might hold an ace while you have a pair of threes.

Though the card strength isn’t equivalent, the opponent can’t control you.

Leonard still had the God Stealer Ring, and he wasn’t afraid of the crimson Contamination, which was a special condition others did not possess.

With this in mind, Leonard decided to follow the Ring Spirit’s guidance to the southeast to have a look.

…

Just as the Blood Mist began to thicken, various forces within the vast ruins also started to move.

Below the surface, the New King of Orlan, the Silver Moon Leader, the four knights beneath the king, along with a bunch of guards and believers, had gathered here.

Arthur’s expression had been dark for several days now.

At this moment, he already knew his authority had been stolen, and the only possible culprits were the Court High Priest from the Garcia Family Line, closely related to the royal family, and Camilla, who also had Augustus bloodline.

“Damn it, had I known, I would have killed that wretch at all costs! The audacity to try and steal the Kingship, such delusional wishful thinking!”

“Today, the gate to the Divine Ruins Treasure House will open, and it seems Count Nikola has successfully condensed the ‘Divine Material’ and is trying to break out by force.”

“Your Majesty, those vampires were once a threat that endangered Taron’s former dynasty. If we let them out, even if we restore the kingdom in the future, they will be a significant hidden danger…”

“Hm. The Thirteen Knights will inevitably take action. Let them weaken each other in the fight, and we’ll deal with them afterward. It would be best to eliminate both sides at once.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“…”

…

Elsewhere, Leonard had already entered the Blood Mist.

In recent days, by grinding against monsters, his Enlightenment had skyrocketed along with his combat experience, greatly improving his skill proficiency.

The perception of both “Air” and “Intention” had also been significantly enhanced.

So even in the midst of the fog, Leonard could clearly sense the monsters lurking around him.

Moreover, the blood-colored mist, which was contaminating for others, was like a fish entering water for him since he was already contaminated, enabling him to move fluidly.

He could even smell the breath of monsters miles away through the blood mist.

This led Leonard to another thought: “Could this Blood Mist be a means for vampires to sense their surroundings?”

The God Stealer Ring on his finger was greedily absorbing the blood energy, and he distinctly felt the little bat’s physical body was getting stronger.

Although it was still frail like an ant, dying upon touch, the usefulness of the Ring Spirit was gradually becoming apparent.

The Ring Spirit could actively absorb blood energy to heal Leonard’s wounds!

In other words, theoretically, as long as Leonard was not instantly killed in this Blood Mist, it was like he was continuously receiving a Healing potion.

In some sense, this was another version of the “Curse of Immortality.”

However, the Ring Spirit was not yet powerful, and the surrounding blood energy was too thin to heal anything more than superficial injuries.

This was why Leonard held such high hopes for the growth of this Ring Spirit.

It might become a life-saving tool in the future.

For now, it was still too young to rely on.

“So, in this environment, the vampires gain an immortal body during battle?”

Leonard also deduced two important uses of the Blood Mist: sensory expansion and bloodsucking recovery.

The little bat sucked blood all along the way, and he followed the underground pipes towards the southwest.

Almost an hour later, the monsters suddenly disappeared.

Leonard knew that the sun had risen.

From the past two days, he could already estimate the approximate time of sunrise.

Glancing at his pocket watch, it was precisely six in the morning.

“However, why would vampires choose this time?”

Leonard looked up.

Just like the previous days, the moment the monsters vanished, the buildings nearby transformed from ruins back into their pristine state.

Specks of golden light began to appear in the sky.

But because of the Blood Mist, the light didn’t reach the ground.

What was strange was that, today, the oppressive feeling of death seemed to vanish as the sunlight emerged?

Leonard couldn’t help but feel that something had happened.

With a few leaps, he reached the top of the nearest tallest building.

Looking down, his pupils contracted sharply: “Is it possible to leave now?”

Visible to the naked eye, a red sun was slowly rising through the Blood Mist.

Below the sun was a massive Twisted Light Gate.

So the Divine Ruins Treasure House opens automatically when the time comes?

Not just him, but many other survivors around the city climbed onto rooftops and saw the same scene.

Suddenly, the entire city erupted into excitement.

“Look, the exit from the Mysterious Realm has appeared, we can leave now!”

“Hahaha, we’ve finally survived!”
