Catastrophe Card King

Reuel Bible urgently dissuaded, “Don’t be reckless. There are heavy guards here, and even a legendary strong figure can’t escape untouched.”

“Hmm.”

Although Leonard Churchill didn’t say much, he had already begun to act.

He took out a bronze lamp and started tinkering with it.

This was the Relic-Mirage City Lantern, capable of creating a realistic illusion in place.

Leonard Churchill didn’t want to cause trouble, so he couldn’t appear as Charles.

This lamp could solve some of the problems.

Although there were still flaws, it was the best he could do for now.

If they just wanted to capture Camilla, Leonard Churchill wouldn’t even think about intervening.

But he, who knew the inside story, was very clear that they lured Camilla out because they were planning to kill her!

There was simply no room for hesitation at this point.

His plan was formed in a flash.

Reuel Bible, seeing him twitching from the corner of his eye, asked, “What are you…?”

Leonard Churchill spoke calmly and seriously, “She is my friend, and I won’t let her die before my eyes. So, Leader Bible, please help me a little.”

The only method he could think of involved the angel atop the Light and Dark Holy Nail.

It was worth a gamble.

He was wagering that those who attacked Camilla would hesitate because of the Holy Nail.

But he didn’t want to harm the innocent either.

So, he needed someone to explain how powerful this Holy Nail was.

Fortunately, the ace agent next to him had this ability.

Seeing his actions, Reuel Bible naturally guessed his plan and solemnly said, “Do you understand that by doing this, you might die? Is it worth it?”

“I know.”

Leonard Churchill said lightly, “There’s no question of worth. She treats me as a friend and has saved me. 1 also treat her as a friend.”

If there wasn’ t the slightest chance, he definitely wouldn’ t act rashly.

But if there was even a glimmer of hope, he absolutely couldn’t watch Camilla die before his very eyes.

Reuel Bible heard the unwavering determination in his voice and suddenly understood why the Spirit Communicator girl had previously sacrificed herself to save him.

He even guessed Leonard Churchill’s plan and reminded him, “The angel is extremely dangerous.”

Leonard Churchill said, “I know. I won’t release it.”

Seeing the unshakeable determination on his face, even in the face of death, Reuel Bible sighed a little.

Not planning to release it, meant he was betting his life on this.

He didn’t say anything more: “Okay! In that case. I’ll help you.”

Further words were pointless in the current situation.

Both of them were guided by loyalty and righteousness, which was the most important reason that bound their friendship.

In just that short time, the Mirage City Lantern had already cloned a Leonard Churchill dressed in white standing in place.

Meanwhile, his real self had quietly faded into the darkness.

Elsewhere, as soon as Camilla charged out, several Lionheart Family experts surrounded her in an empty space.

The foes engaged fiercely in battle, and the powerful shock waves surged one after another.

She had already discovered how she had been exposed.

Her mother had a tracking mark on her.

The moment she was discovered, she guessed that no matter what, she wouldn’t be able to escape with her mother.

However, Camilla didn’t plan on running away anymore.

Having lost their home, where else could they run in this vast world without her mother?

At this moment, her eyes were filled with indifference towards the world, despair towards the predicament, and cold murderous intent towards the enemy.

As this desperate thought rose, the Demon God’s Phantom on her back seemed to be stimulated by some force, and the wave of magical power grew threefold.

The surrounding temperature dropped several tens of degrees in an instant, and the bone-chilling cold was like a needle.

In a flash, snowflakes fluttered from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they had formed a thick layer on the ground.

But ultimately, carrying a person, Camilla couldn’t unleash her full power.

The opponents attacking her were all experienced killers, and she was pushed back repeatedly.

What was even worse was that the battle had attracted a lot of attention. In an instant, around a thousand members of the Fierce Beast Legion had surrounded them, leaving them with no hope of escape. They were about to be executed on the spot.

But just then, as if influenced by a mysterious power,

The heartbreakingly weak woman on her back suddenly regained consciousness.

Upon seeing her surroundings, she also instantly comprehended what had happened, and weakly said, “Camilla, put me down.”

Camilla had just managed to block a few opponents when she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood from serious injuries.

Hearing her mother’s abnormal tone, she set her down.

Although disheveled and covered in wounds, it was still clear that this was an extraordinarily beautiful woman.

Her name was Annabelle, who used to be the chief female dance officer of the Orlan Royal Court.

After a court dance, the King of Augustus took a liking to her. Only then did she have the precious daughter who she both loved and felt guilty about.

As an illegitimate daughter, she couldn’t inherit the royal family name, so she was named “Camilla.”

But that was also the beginning of the disaster.

A dance officer had no right to become a queen, and an illegitimate daughter of a royal family was prone to various jealousies and assassinations.

Despite being of Augustus lineage, she was bullied from a young age.

As her mother, Annabelle was filled with guilt.

Standing barefoot in the icy snow, she looked at her severely wounded, bleeding daughter, stroked her silver hair for the last time, and gave a weak but incredibly loving smile, “Our Camilla has grown up. But you shouldn’t have come…”

Although she said this, she also knew that Camilla would definitely come back.

Telling her what seemed like her last goodbye, Annabelle’s eyes were already full of tears, “I’m probably the most disappointing mother in the world. Even though you should have lived like a princess, you’ve suffered so much since childhood… If only…”

Even though there were endless words she wanted to say.

But she knew there was no time left.

The murderous aura surrounding them was colder than the cold wind. No one knew better than her how indifferent the royalty could be.
