It wasn’t just the Flare, there was also the Dirty Bomb Card.
Leonard Churchill himself had experienced its downsides a few times, so he was now carrying quite a few of them.
He launched a few cards with a swishing sound.
These weren’t damaging cards, they just contaminated a large area when they exploded.
The four men were inevitably smeared with some of the contamination.
Moreover, once they started running fast, the stealth battle suits were of no use.
Leonard Churchill saw the Element Manipulator draw a few cards and swiftly cleanse the four of them, raising his eyebrows in curiosity, “Wow… A deep-cleaning Purification Card. That’s a well-prepared loadout.”
The contamination was easy to spread, but difficult to clean up.
This card, which almost cost ten thousand per piece, was unaffordable for ordinary hunters.
But Leonard Churchill had quite a few Dirty Bomb Cards slotted.
You purify, I’ll bombard.
He wondered to himself, how many Purification Cards could they have?
Leonard Churchill didn’t chase after the four men directly; instead, he casually trailed them from the side.
With his guidance, the group of demons quickly located the humans.
Leonard Churchill could outrun the monsters, making the Demons prioritize the chasing after the four men from the Fierce Beast Legion.
It must be said, these four men possessed a formidable combat power.
Despite having to face a full-blown chase from hundreds of demons, they didn’t lose an inch.
However, from the moment they were exposed and decided to escape, their fate was sealed.
Even with their full gear, the four people couldn’t run faster than the Little Demons and soon were completely surrounded.
Both sides then began fierce close combat.
Watching the monsters attack the men, Leonard Churchill didn’t feel any urgency.
He managed to run out of the encircling monsters.
He covered himself with a cloak and hid in a big tree to watch the chaos unfold.
A C-tier Catastrophe Flame Great Demon, a D-tier Giant Demon, and a C-tier Dark Elf Hunter lurking in the shadows, firing cold arrows.
Apart from that, there were thousands of other monsters. Almost all the monsters from the sixth Beacon Tower had come. For a small squad of only four people, the pressure was immense.
Even though their individual combat power was strong, they were outnumbered.
The Flame Great Demon looked like it had emerged from a volcano, with glowing red magma flowing all over its body.
The Black Knight strode forward to hold off this monster.
When the monster attacked with its sword, the high-temperature magma splashed everywhere, causing the surrounding trees to start burning.
Leonard Churchill watched in fascination, “This monster is really strong…” He had been wary of this demon, which was why he didn’t dare to attack the Beacon Tower.
His Plague Doctor’s Surgical Knife was more effective in close combat; how was he supposed to get close to a demon that had magma flowing all over its body? If it were not for the heavily armored Black Knight, it would have been impossible to approach this monster.
Fortunately, someone else was attempting to gauge the power of the monster. On the other side, the Beast Walker who had transformed into Terran Raging Bear was caught in a tight tussle with the Giant Demon.
Leonard Churchill had slain this kind of monster himself before.
Even though he could defeat it single-handedly, it didn’t mean others could achieve the same feat.
Without the Relic Level Plague Doctor’s Surgical Knife, breaking the defenses of such high-strength, thick-skinned monster could be difficult.
The Fierce Beast Legion’s equipment was almost uniform.
It had its advantages and disadvantages.
The base attributes of the standard equipment were high, but their upper limit was low.
Even a wealthy family like the Lionhearts wouldn’t be able to afford Relic Level equipment for all their First Tier guards.
The Beast Walker chose the heavily armored, resistant route, similar to the guise Leonard Churchill had worn previously- half armor, shoulder and leg guards, in addition to exquisite combat techniques.
The primary focus was on close combat resilience. It could take a hit. However, when compared to a human, even the most muscular human physique was no match for a demon’s.
Going head-to-head was definitely not a good option.
However, if left alone, this monster could smash the two lightly armoured Curse Card Masters into pulp with just one swing of its club.
The man and monster quickly became entwined in each other’s attacks.
It seemed it would take some time for a clear victor to emerge.
The only wildcard amongst the four was the Element Manipulator.
He currently had a Rock Shield in one hand, protecting both him and the Doctor inside it, whilst manipulating various cards with the other hand.
He used the Rock Shield Card for defense, Fire Snake Card, Lightning Flash Card, Ice Crack Card for offense, and the Earth Crack Card for delaying the enemy’s chase…
Using only these cards burnt through tens of thousands in an instant.
However, the effect was remarkable.
The surrounding demons were falling rapidly.
In terms of crowd control, no other Curse Card Master could surpass this professional sequence.
If this continued, once the Element Manipulator got the chance to concentrate his efforts after wiping out the minor monsters, he might be able to turn the tables.
However, the Dark Elf Hunter was still hiding in the dark.
At the height of the battle, a sound of wind cutting through the air was heard, announcing the arrival of another arrow.
A pitch-black arrow seemed to have shot out from the void.
It only became visible a few meters away from the four men.
The Element Manipulator reacted extremely quickly, raising his hand to block
A Curse Power Shield appeared behind the Rock Shield.
However, the wisdom of the Dark Elf was not to be looked down upon. Unlike other demons who only knew how to charge blindly, the Elf’s target wasn’t him, it was the Doctor!
The arrow, which was surrounded by a whirling airflow, penetrated the gap in the barrier accurately, cleaved through the shield skillfully, and hit the battlefield doctor who was throwing bottles of potions all around.
A muffled sound of piercing flesh was heard.
The arrow penetrated the small abdomen of the Doctor from a very tricky angle. Blood gushed out in an instant.
The Doctor immediately administered emergency treatment to himself. However, the second arrow was already on its way.
The battle was fierce.
Leonard Churchill also took the opportunity to observe the four men’s combat styles in detail..
