Catastrophe Card King

But their keen perception allowed them to discover something.

It seemed as if something was silently pursuing them.

Having sensed something, the five didn’t dare to look back, but cast their shared gaze towards the only one who was looking behind, Leonard Churchill: What’s wrong?

However, Leonard’s eyelid twitched, he didn’t hide anything and said, “Senior Clinton, I’d like to ask you why the angel suddenly got closer?”

Elder Clinton was taken aback, “What?”

At Leonard’s words, the color drained from the faces of the others.

Leonard had voiced their worst fear.

Elder Clinton then asked: “Did you blink?”

Leonard confirmed: “No.”

He was certain that he did not lose sight of that angel.

Yet, It still came.

Listening to this, Elder Clinton also became doubtful, asking again: “How close?”

“A second ago, the distance was about three hundred meters, now…”

As Leonard spoke, he couldn’t help the corner of his eye twitching, “It’s… right behind you.”

At this moment, the weeping angel was floating just a few meters away. He could clearly see the faint light emanating from its exquisitely beautiful face. But the strange thing was, no one was dead.

Elder Clinton felt his eyelid twitching.

Even Reuel Bible and the others felt the hair on the back of their necks stand up.

They’d all seen the weeping angel just now. If it was right behind them now, even if it didn’t kill anyone, sheer terror would accomplish that for it.

But since it had followed.

Why had it not attacked?

They did not dare look back.

They could only keep walking.

Everyone in the group speculated. Was it because of their posture that they went unnoticed?

But if this were to keep going, just what were they to do?

Elder Clinton’s voice was slightly shaky when he asked: “Is it looking at you or one of us?”

Leonard replied: “Me.”

The angel’s eyes were lifeless, but it was certainly targeting him.

Hearing this, Elder Clinton broke into a forced smile and thought to himself: Dear brother, I should’ve known that nothing good would come of meeting you.????????? ⁵

I never should have asked for money, I should have just hurried along.

But dwelling on it now was futile. Something occurred to Elder Clinton and perplexed, he said: “That’s not right… That weeping angel is just a residual ’ soul, it shouldn’t have consciousness. How could it follow us? Moreover, it’s a divine soul that has been bound. It shouldn’t be able to stray too far from its ‘Soul Carrier’.”

The young man next to Elder Clinton asked: “Grandpa, what is a ‘Soul Carrier’?”

“Typically, it’s the weapon that caused death before a person becomes a vengeful spirit. Resentment is a kind of spiritual energy and attaches itself to the weapon like an anchor. It carries the soul so it won’t dissipate. Basically, it’s akin to… the body of a Vengeful Spirit.”

After briefly explaining this, Elder Clinton began to mutter to himself again: “That’s even more wrong… How did It manage to catch up…”

He then took another look at Leonard and asked: “Think about what you did before. Also, do you have any unusual items on you?”

At this, everyone turned to look at Leonard.

Leonard thought of something.

He immediately produced the Light and Dark Holy Nail and asked: “Could it be this?”

The only thing he could think of was this item.

Looking at the attributes of the Crucifix and this nail, they were almost exactly the same.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this holy nail was one of the weapons that had bloomed bloody holes in the angel.

seeing the strong Light and Dark properties on the nail, Elder Clinton’s eyelid twitched again.

Then he looked back at Leonard, whose alert and resentful eyes seem to be saying: You’re not a Silver Moon Believer, are you? Otherwise why would you have this thing?

However, the other three recognized the origin of this nail.

Reuel Bible and Mushroomhead were not surprised at all, they recognized at a glance that this was the item from the auction robbery.

Even though they didn’t know how it ended up in his hands, they thought of how this Card Master Apprentice had dared to kill Hensen, the Second Tier ‘Plague Doctor’, concluding that there was one thing for certain – he was definitely not a Silver Moon Believer.

Ada was a bit slower to react.

She thought that Reuel Bible hadn’t figured it out and hurriedly warned him: “Captain…”

Reuel didn’t respond.

With everyone’s gaze upon him, Leonard felt uneasy and added: “I got it by killing a few believers during the auction house robbery.”

Raising his eyebrows, Reuel didn’t doubt his words.

It was obviously another matter that concerned him more. He finally got to ask

a question that had not been asked before, “Are you part of the Thirteen Masked Knight Organization?”

Leonard said: “No.”

Reuel raised his eyebrow: “Oh.”

Hearing this, the defensive light in his eyes immediately disappeared.

Leonard found it refreshing to communicate with the straightforward Reuel.

He believed him as soon as he spoke.

There was no need to over explain.

But now is not the time to elaborate on why the nail is in Leonard’s possession.

With the angel looming behind them, in the next instant, they might all drop dead on the spot.

Elder Clinton looks at Reuel and others and figured out a few things.

As long as it’s not the Old Days Believer, it’s fine.

He didn’t care where the nail came from, but having this thing stirred something in his memory as if it had been triggered by something He suddenly exclaimed, “Oh… I thought of a way! This might entirely solve the Angel problem!”

At his words, everyone, including Leonard, turned to look at him.

Elder Clinton said: “That angel is not quite under the control of necromancy, it’s more like it’s been restrained. Not to mention that the spiritualist’s tier is too low to exert any control.. The main reason the Angel could manifest this way is because they have the crucifix, the ‘Soul Carrier’!”
