Catastrophe Card King

“Aargh~”

The Red Dragon let out a mournful roar.

Even it couldn’t bear the scorching of the Kingship’s Holy Flame, and a chunk of its back was burned away in a moment.

The worst part was that it wasn’t facing just one opponent.

Camilla’s move was like a stab in its back; its entire Magical Power instantly became chaotic.

And the Hell’s Knight too, wielding a long spear, pierced the Red Dragon’s neck with it.

Watching all this, Leonard Churchill cracked a smile and guessed to himself, “It seems that gaining the approval of the Hero’s Will might also require hunting High Tier Demons…”

From the moment he saw Camilla disappear with the Holy Grail, he knew his old friend would be the first to kill this Red Dragon.

Now that the situation was essentially clear, no matter whether it was related to the mission or not, dealing with these unexpected factors was definitely the correct choice.

Prince Sane initially wanted to snatch the Holy Grail, but seeing that Camilla was about to kill Red Dragon Yuri, he hesitated for a moment.

It seemed he was waiting for both sides to suffer.

Leonard eyed this moment, and what he needed to do now was to block the Hell’s Knight that was pursuing Camilla.

Clang!

The Great Sword was struck by the Knight Captain’s spear again, and Leonard was sent flying.

However, this also bought Camilla some crucial time.

The Red Dragon’s mournful roar echoed like a torrent through the confines of the Underground Palace but was becoming increasingly weak.

The Kingship’s Holy Flame from the Holy Grail broke through the dragon scale defense, and Camilla’s Demon God Forbidden Skill was no slouch either; the terrifying cold aura poured straight into the dragon’s body, dealing maximum real damage.

Yuri’s Hellfire was getting weaker, and Frost quickly covered its vulnerable parts, like the wings and tail.

Besides, it wasn’t just Camilla that it had to face, but also the Hell’s Knight.

Under these multiple attacks, the Red Dragon was akin to a cornered beast, growing progressively weaker.

Camilla’s Power of Ice could cause the target’s Mental Power to stiffen, and once its body was controlled by the Gravity Domain, Yuri was like meat on a chopping board, utterly helpless.

Finally, after being knocked away for the fourth time, Camilla used some Spell and the Red Dragon’s body turned completely into an ice sculpture.

At the same time, Enlightenment appeared.

‘Killing Fourth-Tier A-level Catastrophe ‘Red Dragon Yuri’, Contribution points +2000;’

Although Leonard had not dealt direct damage to Yuri, he had lent a hand, gaining two thousand Contribution points.

The Contribution points were a bit low for killing a Catastrophe of this magnitude, but it was already quite ideal.

Moreover, the rewards for completing the plot mission were the main event.

With that, several Demons had been killed.

A second Enlightenment appeared: ‘Complete A+ Opportunity Plot, Contribution points +20000, Extra plot exploration degree +20%, Opportunity Treasure Box +1’

Just like the previous plot.

Having killed the story’s key BOSS, a treasure chest appeared on the corpse.

However, now was not the time to check it.

At the same time, rich Extraordinary Traits also seeped from the Red Dragon’s corpse.

Leonard also began to absorb them from afar.

…

With Yuri dead, Leonard and Camilla finally looked at each other.

They didn’t say a word, but understood each other in an instant.

In the Alternate Dimension, the most troublesome were never the story characters but the Adventurers.

There was still one enemy alive, and that was the Hunchbacked Old Cook in his ghastly infant state.

At this moment, this backbone of the Silver Moon Sect was entangled with his own Hell’s Knight and lived in misery.

An S-tier monster he couldn’t kill, one that became stronger the more he fought.

Glancing from the corner of his eye and seeing Camilla rushing over with the Holy Grail that radiated intense white light like a torch, the Old Cook’s face turned pale in fright.

Although he had ways to withstand the creatures and wouldn’t die immediately,

he had already suffered from the Holy Grail and didn’t dare to touch it carelessly.

He also was very self-aware, knowing that he had absolutely no chance of surviving Camilla and the Hell’s Knight teaming up.

Seeing himself about to follow in Red Dragon Yuri’s footsteps, the Grave Digger was prepared early. He spat out blood, chanted a spell in an instant, and with a six-pointed star Magic Array shining under his feet, he actually conjured a treasure chest through Spirit Communication?

Before Leonard had a chance to understand, the treasure chest suddenly opened, revealing dense, serrated teeth and wriggling eyes.

Looking at its form, it was none other than the legendary blood-devouring ‘Abyssal Treasure Chest Monster’?

The Old Cook nimbly leaped and jumped into the mouth of the Treasure Chest Monster, and with a “snap,” the chest closed.

The Spirit Communication Skill’s Magic Array disappeared just in time, and the chest vanished as well.

Watching this scene, Leonard clicked his tongue in wonder, using a Reverse Spirit Communication Technique to escape; it was quite an innovative idea.

Old Cook always had some odd tricks up his sleeve.

But the crisis was far from over at this point!

Just as Old Cook was forced to flee, a surge of Sword Air suddenly slashed towards Camilla.

Prince Sane, clad in Golden Armor, turned into a string of afterimages, coming with intense Killing intent.

He was protected by his Ancestral Spirit, would not be attacked by the Hell’s Knight, nor affected by the Holy Grail’s law of kingship.

With Red Dragon Yuri dead, his own Fourth-Tier strength was indeed the strongest in the Underground Palace!

Now his sole focus was to kill the two people in front of him.

…

Leonard and Camilla had never harbored any slight hope that this fifth prince would let them leave with the Holy Grail.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle in the Underground Palace.

The pressure was greatest on Camilla.

She alone had to withstand a Fourth-Tier Hell’s Knight and also Prince Sane, likewise Fourth-Tier.

She could have at least avoided facing the strongest S-level Catastrophe if she just dropped the Holy Grail.

But Leonard understood very well why she wouldn’t give up.
