Catastrophe Card King

Elder Clinton’s eyes were once again clouded.

After hesitating for a while, he shook his head slightly but did not speak.

“…”

Hearing his answer, Leonard didn’t ask further.

He initially didn’t pay much attention to what Catherine said about the elder being involved with the great cause and effect, but after watching his technique of killing countless evil ghosts and cursed spirits in one fell swoop…

He felt it.

The item this old man was looking for was definitely not ordinary.

If he doesn’t say it, it’s better not to ask randomly.

At this time, Elder Clinton seemed to think of something and said solemnly again, “Also…Leonard, we should probably part ways now.”

Seeing his enigmatic expression, Leonard asked, “Huh?”

He thought that the elder would offer some surprising reason.

But instead, Elder Clinton croaked, “Every time I meet you, it brings trouble.”

“…”

Leonard twitched the corner of his eye, thinking: And you have the audacity to say that?

Catherine also had a strange expression.

Could it be that he doesn’t know that he himself is the biggest source of bad influence?

The less fortunate ones might not be able to bear the consequences.

However, Leonard didn’t comment on it further and simply smiled, “Alright.”

Elder Clinton might be able to solve things this time, but it might not be the case next time.

His fate might be strong, but it doesn’t mean others’ are the same.

Sticking with him might cause more harm than good.

After gaining a decent understanding of the situation in the ruins of Summer Shepherd City, parting ways might be best.

Thus, the group made their way out of the Underground Palace like this.

The moment they reached the waterfall’s entrance, they could hear the sounds of intense combat.

The outside was in chaos.

Visible to the naked eye, Summer Shepherd City was filled with the sounds of gunfights.

The Deep Pit Ruins seemed to have attracted a large number of hunters and explorers.

The sight didn’t surprise Leonard and his companions.

Considering noble direct descendants like Kak and Vivian had arrived, all the major families in the Federation must be paying special attention to these ruins.

It wasn’t just the Underground Palace; Summer Shepherd City itself was also filled with many secrets and opportunities.

For example, the Blacksmith Shop they had previously visited was capable of forging relic-level weapons.

The Catastrophe in the city might be deadly, but it could potentially be eliminated using a human sea tactic.

These ruins would eventually be fully explored.

…

After leaving the Underground Palace, the group split into two.

Elder Clinton and Colin were sneaky as they both disappeared into the darkness.

Leonard didn’t need to worry about their safety.

He went to the Blacksmith Shop to check if his surgical knife was ready.

Catherine’s wounds were severe, and she probably wouldn’t survive escaping the ruins alone, so she decided to go with him.

Coincidentally, not long after the four of them split up, they saw a woman covered in moonlight being pursued by several men in black on a distant street.

Upon closer inspection, it was Reuel Bible and his X Bureau group chasing after the Silver Moon Leader.

Seeing the heavily injured Silver Moon Leader trying to enter the Underground Palace, she was likely hoping to use the statue inside to heal her wounds.

Unfortunately, all of the remaining Divine Power in the statue had been absorbed.

If she entered, she wouldn’t be able to heal her wounds.

Instead, she might be trapped and left helpless.

And without the Angel’s Remains in the Underground Palace, no one would be likely to save her.

Leonard thought that if the Silver Moon Leader could be killed this time, it would solve many problems for his undercover mission.

The two of them had no interest in such dangerous events, and they continued to navigate through the small alleys of Summer Shepherd City.

The number of Catastrophes wandering the streets had significantly decreased, most likely drawn by the battles raging throughout the city.

But with Leonard’s “Summer Shepherd City – Undead Affinity+65”, the Catastrophes wouldn’t attack them unless provoked.

They both made their way to the previously visited Blacksmith Shop in the alley.

The Tauren Catastrophe was still working and hammering.

It appeared to be neutral and wasn’t affected by the battles in the city, peacefully working in his shop.

Leonard instantly saw his surgical knife placed on the shelf.

Next to the furnace, there were five flying knives burning red but generally formed.

“Huh….”

At this sight, his eyes lit up.

He then noticed that his surgical knife was somewhat different from before.

Its attributes had changed.

Relic·Enchanted Plague Doctor’s Scalpel

Details: Level Ⅲ Ancient Mysterious Type Relic; Sharpness+9, Demonic Break+55%; Ignorance+30%. Can absorb fragments of the spirits of the dead to enhance the mental imprint of the flying knife and cause an effect of mental ignorance on the target. Ignore Defense+7%. Contains curse power, 100% increases the Ignore Defense attribute. The surgical knife made of Divine Agility Alloy absorbs spiritual energy to imbue the surgical knife with a mental imprint. The Brander can use telekinesis to control the flying knife’s trajectory.

“Is this the original attributes of the relic restored after tempering?”

Leonard guessed in his heart.

Ancient relics were antiques that had weathered through the ages.

Despite their extraordinary traits, nothing could withstand the erosion of time.

The extraordinary traits were probably inferior to the peak state of the original relic.

When Leonard first obtained the flying knife, many of its cursive records had already lost their effect.

But now, the surgical knife had completely transformed.

It was like sharpening a knife, suddenly becoming sharp.

Its body shone with mysterious cursive records.

The rarity level had also been increased from Ⅰ to Ⅲ rank;

The Demon-breaking Attribute went from the previous 35% to the current 55%, posing a deadly threat to high-tier card masters;

An additional “Ignore+30%” effect could make the accuracy rate even higher;
