Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 640 - 214: Universal Card·Knight and Princess_3
Chapter 640: Chapter 214: Universal Card·Knight and Princess_3
Leonard: “…”
Catherine Carter: “…”
The guests: “…”
Everyone who heard those casually spoken words couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their eyes.
Perhaps only the one in the Silver Cloak knew how immense the pressure was when facing this individual.
But the fact was, the outcome of the fourth Knight’s card duel had been decided.
Almost simultaneously, the Queen Catherine, who was in the midst of an intense battle not far away, suffered backlash from the rules and spat out a mouthful of old blood.
She had originally thought that the Silver Moon Leader could hold on until she killed Camilla.
But the battle ended sooner than she expected.
However, what happened next was even more shocking.
Normally, after the Knight’s card battle ended, the barrier would remain, and the “Pursuer of Light” could only watch from the sidelines.
But to the astonishment of all the onlookers, he nonchalantly walked up to the green light screen barrier.
As if cautiously testing it.
Then,
Then, a hand actually reached through it?
In full view of everyone, his hand actually pierced through the barrier!
This…
How is that possible?!
According to poker rules, after a victory with the Knight’s card, one could only watch from the sidelines.
This fellow actually walked out of the barrier?
Yet, there it was before everyone’s eyes: the cloaked figure casually stepped through the barrier, appearing in the midst of the “Queen” and “Princess” battleground.
Seeing this, Leonard twitched the corner of his eye slightly.
Although he had guessed that this individual could break the game, watching him so easily pass through the barrier, he felt that same inexplicable sense of déjà vu once again.
He was certain, this fellow must be Mushroomhead!
Back in the Hero’s Tomb, Noah Wright had completely ignored the Gravitational Domain rules, appearing directly beside the Holy Grail.
The means was unclear, but the effect was exactly the same.
…
On the other hand, Queen Catherine’s expression drastically changed upon witnessing this scene.
She ignored her blood-spitting embarrassment and hastily retreated.
From the beginning, she had been closely watching the moves of the leader of the Thirteen Knights.
Now, seeing this person break through the barrier, Catherine felt a thick sense of impending doom and inwardly yelled, “So it’s the new generation of ‘Pursuer of Light’! But… has his domain reached such a level?”
Others could not comprehend the domain called “I am the world,” but she knew something about it.
For a thousand years, the Court Worshipers of the Orlan Royal Family had clashed multiple times with successive ‘Pursuers of Light,’ and the court’s secret scrolls carried remnants of their descriptions.
It is said that at a very high level of comprehension of this domain, one can twist the Laws, and even alter the power of the rules!
This was the true terror of that domain!
The fellow’s act of ignoring the poker rules and breaching the barrier was a testament to those secretive records.
“Damn it!”
Seeing this, Catherine, who had become Queen, felt the threat of death for the first time and lost her composure like never before.
It also meant that he very well might disregard the High-level Laws of the “Angel’s Feather” contamination and directly attack her true body.
…
“How… how could that fellow leave the barrier?”
“The barrier is clearly still there…”
“Does that mean, he could have left the barrier all along? Hiss… what exactly is his ability?”
“…”
The guests below the gambling table stared, dumbfounded.
Some High-Order Card Masters also sensed something unusual.
However, to Leonard, someone in the know, a different idea occurred.
Seeing how the Pursuer of Light carefully tested before breaking the barrier, Leonard knew, if it truly was Noah Wright, he probably could have stepped out in one go.
Acting out this scene was deliberately giving the enemy time to react.
Thinking of this, a mocking light flickered briefly in Leonard’s eyes, “With the situation as it is now, it’s time for that Queen of Orlan to reveal her hand…”
….
Even if the bystanders sensed something amiss, how could Catherine, who occupied a high position, not know?
But even though she realized the disparity, she was helpless.
This sense of deathly oppression left no one with a second option.
The ability of the Pursuer of Light allowed him to disregard the rules, but not others!
At this moment, even if someone outside the card game wanted to save her, they couldn’t.
The Queen of Orlan could only rely on herself!
At this life-and-death juncture, reality didn’t give her a moment’s hesitation, and as she saw the Pursuer of Light’s hand reach out of the barrier, Catherine, while retreating and spitting blood, had already bitten her finger.
Then, she swiftly pulled out a scroll, using her own blood to scribe a curse onto it while her eyes grew cold: “Spirit Communication Skill: Angel’s Descent!”
The scroll glowed brightly, and the spell instantly formed.
In that instant, a massive silver Nine-point Star Array lit up in the sky.
And like the gates of Hell opening, thick and raging Undead Air gushed forth unrestrained.
The Undead Air swirled in midair, forming a black cyclone tens of meters wide, as if composed of countless ghostly faces.
Even through the barrier, everyone felt a sense of dread as if doomsday had arrived.
….
“What… what exactly is Mrs. Catherine trying to summon?”
“It’s not a Bone Dragon or anything, right?”
“I was present in Sinless City’s auction house when they auctioned off a Bone Dragon, but it wasn’t this exaggerated…”
“Within the barrier, it shouldn’t affect us, right?”
“…”
The outside spectators around the gambling table turned pale.
The playful atmosphere had gone, and now they all sensed a fatal crisis.
Everyone had an ominous premonition that once the Spirit Object emerged, perhaps the spatial rules wouldn’t be able to contain it.
