Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 642:
Chapter 642: Chapter 215 This guy has everything!
Queen Catherine performed spirit communication and summoned a mummified corpse swathed in bandages.
Before its face was even revealed, everyone present was overwhelmed by a mix of light and dark energies emanating a super-tier coercive pressure, making their scalps tingle with numbness.
The nobles and ladies, who had not often experienced bloodshed, were particularly frightened, their faces drained of color.
Upon seeing this, Leonard Churchill felt an intense envy: “The Orlan Royal Family really does have many treasures…”
Any curse card casually produced by the Queen of Orlan might be worth a lifetime’s savings for an ordinary hunter.
Now it was Angel’s wings and the Angel’s remains… truly, she was surrounded by supreme treasures.
What was most important was that she could actually use these super-tier beings that ordinary people could only hear about in ancient legends.
Even though Leonard felt he had quite a few treasures himself, compared to hers, he immediately felt like a nouveau riche with no real depth.
The depth of the Orlan Royal Family’s resources was apparent.
But as much as he thought about it, he was not idle.
The moment the Angel’s Remains appeared, Leonard immediately produced the Light and Dark Holy Nail he always carried with him.
Within it was sealed the Weeping Angel’s Divine Soul.
Leonard was not certain that the divine soul of a god could suppress Its own remains.
But he guessed it might.
After all, if the “Pursuer of Light” really was that guy Noah Wright, he knew the Weeping Angel’s Divine Soul was on Leonard himself.
Even if it wasn’t him, as team members, they should be aware of such vital information.
That was what Leonard considered the most important reason he was able to join the mission.
Seeing the Light and Dark Holy Nail brought out, the “Pursuer of Light” did not exhibit any other reaction, allowing Leonard to know his thought process was correct.
With that in mind, he did not hesitate to infuse the Holy Nail with Curse Power.
In an instant, the Holy Nail shone with a brilliant black and white luster, and an indescribable aura of a high-tier living creature began to surge out.
If the mummified corpse had made their skin crawl, then this was a profound dread that shook their very souls.
More coincidentally, both sensations involved an extreme intertwining of holiness and evil that were of this world’s utmost extremes.
Seeing this scene, the guests outside the betting table looked as if they had turned to stone.
…
“What… what is that fugitive doing?”
“It seems like he has summoned another super-tier being…”
“Impossible, he’s only a Second Tier, how could he possess such a terrifying being?”
“…”
Spectators watching Leonard take out the Holy Nail and release its light immediately realized something dreadful was underway.
They originally believed Lady Catherine’s spirit communication had summoned some taboo being that could potentially turn the tide of battle.
That was already a desperate situation.
But no sooner had this thought crossed their minds than the clown immediately produced an equally formidable countermeasure.
From the looks of it, did both sides plan a “taboo” against “taboo” strategy?
Yet such a high-tier battle, regardless of the outcome for either side, was likely to affect the bystanders.
Even Catherine Carter didn’t know Leonard possessed such a dangerous thing; she watched with her eyelids twitching.
The premeditated assassination occurring tonight was rife with far more surprises than anticipated.
She even began to suspect whether a third-party force was involved, aiming to eliminate all her Lionheart Family in one fell swoop.
Without time to think further, the taboo beings summoned by both parties had shown their faces.
Queen Catherine had been vigilantly prepared for the “Pursuer of Light” to act, having already activated specific relics and prepared secret resistance techniques.
However, she had never imagined the clown who suddenly emerged would bring forth the Light and Dark Holy Nail.
Though X Bureau’s higher-ups were aware of Leonard’s possession of the Weeping Angel, others were not necessarily privy to such information.
At least, it was apparent that the Queen of Orlan was not in the know.
Catherine realized the gravity of the situation upon seeing the Light and Dark Holy Nail.
Before she could unwrap the corpse-wrapping cloth from the Angel’s remains, suddenly, she saw within the glow of the Holy Nail, an illusion of an angel with a pair of grey-light wings on its back, eyes wrapped in bandages, surrounded by a mix of Death Air and Holy Light.
How could Catherine not recognize the Weeping Angel?
The classic books of the Orlan Royal Family had detailed descriptions of this Guardian Angel.
Others might not know how to control the Angel’s Remains, but the Orlan Royal Family surely did!
They had spared no expense to find these remains because they could provide a super-tier combat power guarantee for the nation’s revival!
As the queen, she was the only one who could control this body.
The idea was to wait until the compatibility was high enough before making its appearance to deter the arrogant Federal Senators, but now she had to bring it out prematurely.
Upon the appearance of the Angel illusion, she immediately realized that something terrible was unfolding and came to the sudden understanding: the game tonight was aimed at her!
The Thirteen Knights, aside from wishing to kill her, also coveted the Angel.
Damn it!
Weren’t those people from the Silver Moon Sect taken away by the X Bureau?
How could they show up here!
Queen Catherine’s eyes trembled incessantly, her mind racing through numerous thoughts in an instant.
Nevertheless, reality left her no time to ponder any further, and with the contract scroll in her hand shattering, she cried out: “Please, Angel, slay them!”
She was left with no choice but to depend on the angel if she wanted to survive.
However, events began to unfold in accordance with the ominous premonition in her heart.
With her command, the corpse-wrapping cloth on the Angel’s Remains also unraveled.
Ordinarily, the super-tier power of the Angel would burst forth upon the cloth’s removal, slaughtering those in its presence and even breaking through the barrier.
Once the barrier was broken, her life would be saved.
