Catastrophe Card King

However, if Vivian White has this secret skill, what about Catherine Carter?

He instantly understood the other party’s intentions, his eyes slightly chilled: “So they are intending to kill with a borrowed blade…”

The two of them started fighting as soon as they met.

Catherine Carter’s crystal eyes flashed fiercely, and she let out a soft exclamation: “Curse Seal-Release!”

With a second glance, all sorts of music notation-shaped curses like /, J, jj, fi… appeared on her body.

These curses seem to have given sound a physical shape.

All sorts of music notation solidified on the surface, producing layers of vibrating protective shields.

The sandstorm-like swarm of insects kept flying over, but started to fall off and pile up into small hills several meters away from Catherine Carter’s body. Catherine Carter also retaliated with sonic spells, but the outcome was unclear for now.

But now that they had started, the malice and hatred had already spread.

“Insect Masters really are peculiar…”

Leonard Churchill watched the sandstorm-like swarm of insects with a serious expression.

Even though he could now break ordinary steel plates with a single punch, his Martial Skills seemed powerless against these insects.

There were too many, and facing them head-on was almost not an option without a method of retaliation.

And it wasn’t just Catherine Carter who was targeted by the swarm of insects as those two women fought.

Oh, this young girl is actually harboring these things…”

Elder Clinton recognized the insects and let out an odd cry, and pulled back repeatedly to increase the distance: “Step back, those are ‘Bone-eating Scarabs’. Once they touch your skin, they will burrow into your body through your pores and devour your flesh and bones!”

“Oh.”

Hearing this, Colin immediately retreated without hesitation.

As Leonard Churchill retreated, a black flame appeared between his fingers, lightly touching a few of the insects and instantly reduced them to ash.

Seeing this, he gained some confidence.

Their means were not helpful in this sort of battle and they didn’t intend to help.

Because the danger was not just from the insects.

At this point, however, the commotion of the two women fighting finally attracted the Catastrophes in town.

In the forest, black specters began to float out, drifting towards the two women in battle.

And farther away, the gigantic Catastrophe-level creatures on the town streets were also attracted by the fight. They too smelled the scent of human malice, giving out soul-chilling horrifying cries, slowly crawling or floating over.

When these unknown rank Catastrophes arrive…

No matter if they help or not, they are doomed.

Catherine Carter was very clear that she could deal with Vivian White, but once those Catastrophes were attracted, she would be undoubtedly dead.

But luckily, this is a rewindable Mysterious Realm.

This made crisis somewhat optional.

Catherine Carter thought about something, and instantly understood why

Leonard Churchill killed her during their last encounter.

Because, this was what she had asked for!

This time, she could only make the same choice.

Catherine Carter thought about this, resolute as ever, speaking in a way that only Leonard could hear: “Leonard, I will use a Demon God Secret Skill as soon as possible to end this battle. I will also help you get rid of the Fierce Beast Legion in front of the tower, creating an opportunity for you to enter. But my current strength is insufficient to control that Secret Skill. As a price, my soul will be taken away by the Demon God. So, please, be sure to kill me before you go in!”

The only way that Catherine Carter could think of to break this deadlock was this.

Leonard listened to her words, pondered for a moment, and quickly understood her intentions.

The rule she was talking about was a bit high-level, it was directly referring to the Demon God.

This was the foundation of the Lionheart Family, an upper-class aristocratic.

But the problem was coming.

In this Mysterious Realm, things like bodily death could be rewound.

But high-level rules involving Soul Magic were very high.

Once her soul was taken away by the Demon, it wasn’t certain that this time rewind could revive her.

Killing her in advance was the most prudent method.

And looking at the current situation, they had probably done this before.

Just for a moment, Leonard seemed to understand the cause and effect of the engraving: “So that’s how it is. No wonder I would give up trying to break the deadlock, and also promised to revive her…”

Of course, there was another plan.

Catherine now knew that time could be rewound, she could choose to kill herself.

It would be even safer to do so if one wanted to rewind.

But in that case, Leonard and the others wouldn’t be able to enter the Thirty- Three Levels of Ghost Tower.

Neither would they be able to find the subsequent clues.

They would inevitably fall into an “infinite loop”.

He was increasingly feeling that confronting this loop was not about infinite repetitions, he always felt that with each repetition, some danger would seem to increase.

Catherine Carter had thought about this too.

So she decisively chose to exchange her death for a chance to break the deadlock.

This was what had led to the engraved words behind the statue under the waterfall.

Leonard Churchill was the type to reciprocate favors, and repay debts.

If someone really died for him, he would be sure to repay this favor.

“But in this way, isn’t it still a loop? If Catherine dies, I will still have to choose to rewind to revive her. We need to think of some other methods…”

Leonard heard this plan and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

He even wanted to criticize why he didn’t leave some directional clues last time.

This situation…is a bit difficult to choose.

As Leonard thought about this, he looked at Vivian in the distance, and then at the Fierce Beast Legion farther away.

If it was just a private grudge, he didn’t intend to get involved.

But now there was a need to break this deadlock.
