Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 594
Chapter 594: Chapter 202 Hell’s Knight·Dragon Hawk Garen_4
Leonard Churchill looked puzzled as well. “What’s going on here?”
They were facing an S-class Catastrophe, and since no one could be killed, what was the point of getting any stronger?
Although he couldn’t fathom why such a change was happening,
he understood that the monster must be up to something.
This bad premonition swept through the hearts of everyone in the Tomb.
And they guessed correctly.
Before their eyes, the Hellfire Knight seemed to be filled with Magical Power, with Hellfire blazing three meters around its body.
The oppressive force was so strong that it felt as if they were witnessing the unbeatable power of a legend.
What was this monster up to?
Just as everyone’s gaze was filled with confusion, suddenly, with a flash of light,
it seemed as if images overlapped, and they saw the Hell’s Knight’s body tremble continuously, and then… it split into three, and three split into nine!
In the blink of an eye, nine identical Hellfire Knights appeared before them.
“It can clone itself?”
Leonard Churchill’s eyelids twitched slightly.
It was already so strong, why put on such a show?
Seeing this, everyone had a bad feeling but also understood what the monster was planning.
There were nine Hellfire Knights, and coincidentally, there were nine of them as well.
Were they being challenged to individual knight’s duels?
They didn’t know if it was due to some special rule, but the facts were as they had guessed.
The very moment the nine Hellfire Knights appeared, their horses neighed and suddenly charged.
Leonard was locked onto by the Killing Intent of one of the Hell’s Knights and felt the hairs on his back stand up instantly.
He instinctively stomped the ground, trying to escape from his current position.
However, just as he put strength into his thighs, he suddenly felt twisted Gravitational Force threads wrapping around his body, and a bizarre suction force enveloped him in an instant.
It was as if an invisible hand was yanking him forcefully.
“Damn! Celestial Godfall!” he cursed inwardly.
He was no stranger to this sensation, having experienced it multiple times within the Godfall Domain before.
But now it was different; the strange force wasn’t just pulling him towards the ground, but also towards the Knight’s spear!
Leonard’s body couldn’t resist the exaggerated Gravitational Force, and despite fighting back with all his might, he felt as if he were pinned in place.
The lance aimed straight for his chest.
Leonard instantly understood why Camilla couldn’t dodge before; this Gravitational Force was like pulling his body into a fixed target, making it easy to be pierced!
Unable to avoid the strike in time, he calmly drew the Useless Great Sword and once again placed it before him.
“Clang!”
A sharp clang of metal on metal rang out.
The indestructible Great Sword blocked the deadly strike once more.
But the immense force transmitted from the Knight’s lance still made Leonard feel as though he was struck by a train in the chest, and his body was blasted backward like a cannonball.
“Thud!”
Leonard crashed heavily into an ice wall dozens of meters away, shattering ice in all directions.
He quickly steadied himself, then swiftly retreated to create distance.
“Huh… something’s not right!”
Leonard watched the Hellfire Knight charging at him, remaining alert, but a trace of confusion crossed his eyes.
Although he had been in a terrible state from that attack, it wasn’t lethal; the power was far less than he expected!
Thinking quickly, Leonard immediately realized where his sense of inconsistency came from.
The power of that lance wasn’t Fourth-Tier S-class, but it seemed more like Second-Tier S-class?
“Could the monster be holding back? Or was it a feint?”
That was Leonard’s first reaction.
If one strike had seriously wounded Camilla before, it should be impossible for him to block it off so easily.
He was already prepared for a severe injury, yet he had managed to block it completely.
However, as this thought surfaced, Leonard glanced at the other eight Hellfire Knights and immediately dismissed this idea.
He suddenly understood,
It wasn’t that his senses were wrong,
but it was part of the S-class Catastrophe’s rules!
Just like the pressure experienced in the previous Godfall Domain, each person faced a Hellfire Knight clone of differing strength.
This was like the trial left by the Epic Hero Garen from a hundred years ago!
Equally deadly,
yet still leaving a glimmer of a chance for survival.
Only those who could defeat a Hellfire Knight of the same Tier had the right to live on!
With this realization, Leonard’s Fighting Intent suddenly blazed, and he cracked a smile.
What fortune, to cross swords with an Epic Stronghold from a century ago!
