Catastrophe Card King

The distance was much greater than that of the Demon Commander, who had already turned into a corpse on the ground.

And once the Giant was steady, it began to take steps forward.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Each step sounded like a muffled beat of a drum.

This nearly five-meter-tall Undead Spirit Giant could cover two to three meters in a single stride.

After only a few steps, it had already covered more than ten meters.

This sight left Leonard Churchill and the others speechless: Could it really be possible?

“No, it’s not that simple!”

After taking a closer look, Leonard Churchill also noticed the problem.

Although the Undead Giant was getting closer to the Holy Grail, the number of Gravity Black Lines lingering around its body was visibly increasing.

In other words, the gravitational tearing it was enduring was becoming more and more exaggerated.

The most obvious sign was the skin and Undead Air of the Undead Spirit Giant, which were being torn off layer by layer, just like clothes.

First, the rotting skin, then the muscles, and then the sound of bones breaking under the strain could be heard…

It was clear that its body could no longer support it.

When it was nearly fifty meters away, the Undead Giant crashed to the ground.

With a “thud,” even a spray of foul-smelling broken bones and rotten flesh was splattered.

Is it over?

No, it’s not!

This scene caused Leonard Churchill and the others to frown.

Because almost the instant the Undead Spirit Giant fell, compressed by a colossal force, its neck bulged, and like a toad sticking out its tongue, it suddenly spewed out a mass wrapped in green mucus, with a black substance inside.

Leonard Churchill’s pupils shrank sharply at the sight of the black mass: “Old Cook!”

Upon closer inspection, was that hunched figure emerging from the corpse anyone other than the Hunchbacked Old Cook?

No one had expected that this guy would try to approach the Holy Grail in such a bizarre manner.

Leonard Churchill inwardly exclaimed, “Not good.”

Although Old Cook’s body was far less durable than that of the Dragon Descendant Demon, this guy had one particularly perverse ability: he couldn’t be killed!

To this day, Leonard Churchill had yet to understand why this guy couldn’t die.

Considering the presence of the God from the Silver Moon Sect belief in the space, Leonard Churchill did not think this hunchbacked old man was powerless.

With this thought, Leonard Churchill didn’t bother with the Double-headed Dragon Lizard that was entangling him and rushed toward the Holy Grail without hesitation.

Previously, he had some reservations and wanted to observe carefully.

But now there was no choice.

If he didn’t take the risk, he might not survive.

Moreover, just now, he had vaguely guessed the motive behind the Hero Garen’s creation of this domain and noticed some special restrictions in the gravitational domain.

…

Seeing Leonard Churchill rush over, Camilla and Noah Wright looked grave, but they did not stop him.

And the Demons did not dare to follow.

Leonard Churchill, transformed into a Werewolf, instantly swelled his muscles to their strongest state and leaped forward with the momentum.

Just as he approached the hundred-meter range, he distinctly felt his body being pulled by a strange force, sinking instantly.

But because he had been wearing the Power Gem Golden Sphere all along, Leonard Churchill was already very familiar with the sensation of his body feeling as if it had been filled with lead.

He even stepped on the air in mid-jump, allowing his falling body to leap even further.

This leap covered nearly thirty meters in an instant.

Leonard Churchill hit the ground, his muscles twisted like steel, veins looking like they were stretched to their limits under pressure, ready to burst at any moment.

Yet, a sinister smile spilled from the corner of his mouth, “So it is indeed…”

In terms of strength, Leonard was undoubtedly powerful, but he couldn’t surpass the Dragon Descendant Demons that had died before, nor the Undead Spirit Giant.

However, his jump had covered a distance farther than the other two.

It wasn’t just because he had his own understanding of this gravitational domain.

It was also because, by observing the differences in how the Undead Spirit Giants and the Dragon Descendant Demons entered the arena, he noticed some clues.

The changes in gravity were not constant.

They varied with individual differences.

Although Leonard hadn’t fully understood the principle behind it, the practical effect was that the higher the tier someone entered the domain, the greater the gravitational pressure they faced!

To put it simply, regardless of who it was, they had to bear the pressure corresponding to their own strength.

Second Tier faced pressure fit for the Second Tier, Third Tier faced pressure fit for the Third Tier—the stronger one was, the stronger the corresponding pressure.

This was a restriction deliberately left by the epic hero Garen.

It wasn’t to kill people.

But to filter those who could claim the Holy Grail!

….

As soon as Leonard landed, the outrageous gravitational force put fatal pressure on his body.

It was not just the skin feeling as though something was trying to tear it off the bones, but the pressure on the organs was lethal.

His heart thumped wildly, head feeling as if it were about to explode.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

Leonard gasped for heavy breaths, but the curve of his smile grew higher and higher, “So that hero tried to leave his understanding of the ‘Celestial Godfall’ Secret Skill here, huh…”

Being personally within the domain, the twisted gravitational forces around him were clear to see.

Whereas before it was like looking at flowers through the fog, now he held the flower in his hand.

Seeing this, Leonard realized that this was not only a test but also an inheritance!

Because anyone who could enter this domain alive and proceed further must understand the ‘Celestial Godfall’ Secret Technique.

Therefore, to reach the Holy Grail’s location, “that person” would certainly carefully perceive what hero Garen left behind, comprehend it, and receive the inheritance.

This Secret Technique could also be passed on.

Put another way, this was another form of expression for the kind of Demon God’s Mysterious Technique listed on the “bronze pieces”!

The Demonic Solution Joker granted Leonard the ability to interpret these hidden expressions!

Enlightenment refreshed constantly.

‘Under extreme pressure, perceive the Fifty-two Demonic God Forbidden Techniques Celestial Godfall, comprehension +28’

‘Under extreme pressure, perceive the Fifty-two Demonic God Forbidden Techniques Celestial Godfall, comprehension +22’

‘…’

This pressure was far greater than the prior threat of death.

Now, with every step Leonard took, he risked bursting apart.

With every step, it was as if another giant stone was added to the mountain he shouldered, the change in gravitational force drastically increasing.

If he were to fall, he might never stand up again.

And if he failed to obtain the Holy Grail, there would only be one path left—death.

Under this immense pressure, the insight into that Secret Technique was tens of times deeper than before.

Leonard’s eyes brimmed with a fiercely brilliant sneer.

If he couldn’t learn, then he would die!
