Catastrophe Card King

Leonard Churchill smirked, blood still smeared over his lips, “Minor issue.”

He wasn’t bluffing.

Though he looked quite miserable, his injuries were still within a tolerable range.

Tracy Garcia didn’t listen to him and immediately started checking him over.

As a doctor, she preferred to rely on her judgement.

Blood covered Leonard’s chest, and his tactical vest was torn open by five claw marks.

Upon further examination, the inner armor underneath was also shredded, revealing bloody chunks of flesh.

Leonard tried to sit up.

Tracy prevented him sternly, taking out a potion and pouring it over the wound to clean it. “Don’t move. I need to check your bones…”

Leonard raised an eyebrow but didn’t comment.

He looked down at his soft armor, a relieved chuckle flashing in his eyes.

Luckily, he’d managed to protect his neck from the claws, or he would have been as good as dead.

Even so, the werewolf’s claws had torn through his inner armor.

If he wasn’t wearing the elite inner armor of the frost knight and had worn standard armor instead, he would have lost most of his life even if the claws didn’t strike his neck.

Luckily, he had slain the beast in a narrow escape.

At that moment, Liam Martinez and Alison, who were standing at the cave entrance ensuring no other werewolves were approaching, also entered the cave.

Their eyes shifted from the giant werewolf corpse on the ground to Leonard, their expressions teeming with complexity.

Had an apprentice slain a B-tier Catastrophe?

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it.

Moreover, the duo was confused – wasn’t this guy a Card Master Apprentice in the Black Knight series?

What was that stealthy assassination method he used just now?

A Relic Level scalpel?

Alison, having witnessed the entire scene, was even more shocked.

What seemed effortless was, in reality, an incredibly dangerous feat.

Generally, even with such a Relic Level scalpel, it would’ve been impossible to successfully ambush the beast.

Sneaking up close to the monster, physically resisting the charge… none of these seemed easily achievable.

Alison was very clear about that the werewolf’s final swipe was aimed at the neck.

If Leonard had not dodged in time, he would most certainly have been smacked dead by the werewolf.

His extreme reflex speed indicated that he possessed a high Agility score!

Alison pondered for a while. If she were in the same perilous situation, at most, she would’ve only had a 20% chance of avoiding vital points.

Yet Leonard had managed to dodge?

But she was a ranger who specialized in Agility!

So, this guy… Not only was his strength high, but his Agility attribute too?

This was truly bizarrely powerful.

Liam Martinez, who had missed the action, looked puzzledly at Alison.

Alison just shrugged, unable to explain.

It was only now that they realized, not only had they been hiding their true capabilities, but Leonard had been hiding even more.

Having examined Leonard and confirmed he was not seriously injured, Tracy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After some simple bandaging, Leonard stood up.

Liam and Alison tacitly avoided bringing up the previous topic.

They knew he must have some big secret.

But weren’t they the same?

To respect others’ privacy was to respect their own.

Moreover, now that the B-tier Catastrophe had been eliminated, their dire situation seemed to be resolved instantly.

Only now did Liam and Alison realize that when Leonard had previously talked about his plan to ‘kill them all,’ he was not relying on their combat power.

It was his own strength, capable of slaying a B-tier Catastrophe singlehandedly.

He was truly powerful.

Apart from Camilla, they had never encountered such a formidable Card Master Apprentice.

Tracy, however, didn’t think too much and naively praised, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, you’re so powerful… No wonder Sister Camilla always said you were very formidable.”

Hearing these words, Liam and Alison exchanged surprised glances: He knew Camilla too?

Leonard just chuckled, not offering any further explanation.

Now that the B-tier Catastrophe had been slain, it seemed the crisis was over. Leonard walked up to the werewolf spirit’s corpse and retrieved his scalpel. None of Tracy’s party seemed interested in extracting any materials, they were just tending to their injuries and collecting material from the other corpses. Without standing on ceremony, Leonard looked at the thickest gathering of Extraordinary Traits on the werewolf’s back, made a few quick slices with his scalpel, and peeled off a strip of muscle shrouded with dark energy.

[Werewolf’s Robust Demon Flesh]

Quality: Silver

Description: The essence of the spinal muscles of an Abyssal Undying werewolf, a rare flesh-type material containing the profound power of Dark contamination. It encompasses a series of flesh traits such as immense strength, speedy reflexes, robustness, and self-healing;

Silver grade material is produced!

This was a precious item.

Leonard looked at the material, his eyes lighting up with anticipation.

He came to this Alternate Dimension for this very material.

Having obtained the silver-grade werewolf material, he felt his goal was largely accomplished.

Leonard took out a Containment Card and stored the material inside.

This was part of the team’s Spoils of War. Although it seemed like Tracy and her companions weren’t going to ask for it, Leonard had no intention of hogging it all.

He decided to discuss how to split the loot once they got out.

However, before he could say a word, Enlightenment appeared again. “‘Witch Yuna’s Secret Letter’ has been discovered, triggering the hidden plot ‘The Truth Behind the Annihilation of the Burial Mountain Mine Baron’s Investigation Team’, raising the Disaster Level to A; To prevent the secrets of the mine from leaking, the werewolf infection patient of the first generation has been deployed. He will kill all the demon hunters in Townsend Town, and the mail holder will be hunted down. All werewolves in Burial Mountain Mine have entered a frenzied bloodthirsty state…”

The four of them looked at each other, frowning in unison..
