Catastrophe Card King

Leonard Churchill decided to stay at the Beacon Tower.

As he recuperated, he began to count the items within the Storage Ring of the five-man team he had just defeated.

Seeing the variety of potions and supplies, Leonard thought of something, “However, these spoils of war from the Fierce Beast Legion are indeed worth far more than any silver material…”

A C-rank Catastrophe would only yield one or two pieces of equipment.

But a single noble guard could yield a whole backpack of goods.

“Interesting…”

An idea dawned on Leonard, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Not long after he decided to stay at the Beacon Tower, he suddenly saw a blue light shining in the distance above the forest.

He looked up and muttered to himself, “Finally, they lit it.”

He very clearly remembered the direction of the light—it was from the beacon tower where the Lionheart Family had gone to.

Although the Lionheart Family’s people had deliberately divided the cannon-fodder hunters into more than ten teams to attract the attention of a large part of the demons in Sawtooth Forest, the large scale of the Fierce Beast Legion still attracted the most demons.

To ensure the safety of Young Master Kane, they must have proceeded at a slow pace.

In addition, their goal was not to earn contribution points for lighting the Beacon Tower.

That’s why they were in no hurry.

Considering the time it took, it wasn’t surprising.

Nearly at the same moment the blue light illuminated, Enlightenment showed up again.

‘Triggered C-rank plot “Investigate the Demon Secret Passage in the Wailing Abyss”. The number of demons in Sawtooth Forest has far exceeded expectations. The commander speculates that the demons have found a way through the Wailing Abyss. You are an elite soldier from the kingdom, tasked to find accurate clues on the frontline to alert the kingdom’s higher-ups. Until then, no one will be able to return to Thunderbolt Fortress.’

“So the C-rank plot is this… it really leaves no escape for others,”

Leonard watched as Enlightenment appeared and sneered.

For the several beacon towers he had previously ignited, he had already received the full bonus of 1,000 contribution points each—indicating that none of the teams had survived.

Now, considering that the other Beacon Towers hadn’t been lit, he could almost be certain that almost all of the 200 hunters who had entered were now casualties.

Now with this additional mission, any remaining survivors would likely be unable to escape.

From the very beginning, the Lionheart Family had known what was to come, yet they had not revealed a thing.

If Leonard played safe, he might be able to wait for the Young Master to complete his trial before they could escape together.

But then… would he be subjected to severe torture?

However, he had never planned to do that.

The moment he saw the mission, Leonard could no longer suppress the idea that had previously germinated in his mind: “Why not stir up a big wave?”

Leonard did not create any justifications for himself.

Whether it was the fact that he had been ambushed by the five-man team just now, Young Master Kane deserving to die for his heinous character, or that they had mercilessly dispatched the hunters… he didn’t need any of those reasons.

There’s no need for such hypocrisy in Sinless City.

And Leonard didn’t need it either.

Some people just needed to die.

And that was enough.

In his eyes, the previous ambush was insubstantial in comparison.

If a reason was really necessary.

Killing demons to earn contribution points—why would causing chaos not be enjoyable?

Upon thinking of this, a sense of excitement once again surged within Leonard’s mind.

If they did not leave any chances of survival for others.

Then, nobody should leave a road of survival open either.

As this insane thought rose in his heart, his mind seemed to receive a boost and his thought processes sped up.

He had just experienced the combat power of the Fierce Beast Legion’s guards.

A small five-man team was able to decimate a small demon army of a D-rank plot.

So theoretically, that three hundred man legion should be able to steamroll everything.

“So, I need to think about how to trigger a higher-difficulty plot…”

Leonard instantly figured it out, his eyes glinting with increasing intensity.

Although the three-hundred man Fierce Beast Legion seemed powerful enough to push through everything.

But this was the War Mode with seventy percent casualty rate!

If the Alternate Dimension allowed so many people to come in, it must also have an equivalent level of risk in the plot.

As a lone man, Leonard certainly couldn’t take on the entire Elite Legion head-on.

Therefore, the only solution was to use the plot to kill them.

If C-rank wasn’t enough, then he’d go for B-rank!

If B-rank wasn’t enough, then he’d go for A-rank!

Although increasing the difficulty of the plot would place him in equivalent danger, why would Leonard care about that?

The desire in his heart to “stir up a big wave” had already suppressed any feelings of fear or worry.

“Where should I start…”

Leonard’s eyes flickered as his mind worked around this thought.

The people from the Lionheart Family had information about the C-rank mission, so theoretically, they could leave at any time.

Even if they triggered some unexpected plot, the three hundred Fierce Beast Legion would easily bulldoze through a C-rank difficulty.

Therefore, if he wanted to do something, it had to be done as soon as possible.

Leonard thought thus.

In normal order, hunters would go into the space, gradually completing tasks according to the task prompt.

Then new war plots would be triggered.

Leonard guessed that once this triggered C-rank legion task was completed, they might get some directive clues. If they dug deeper, they could trigger higher-difficulty B-rank plots.

But the people of the Fierce Beast Legion didn’t come to complete the plots in the Alternate Dimension, they came to kill one second-tier demon and then leave.

Leonard did not want them to leave so easily.

He murmured thoughtfully, “So to disrupt the normal order, I need to break the game….”
