Chapter 441: Chapter 160: Counter-killing The Five-Man
Squad_4
Translator: 549690339
Just as the wound on his left ankle healed, he decisively charged towards the Curse Witch.
This, however, played right into the enemy’s hands.
Once the target of the attack was determined, many outcomes could be predicted.
The ferocious and beast like gaze from the werewolf charged towards them caused the Curse Witch and her guards to feel cold, as if they were being targeted by a venomous snake about to strike.
Both of them lacked the confidence to withstand the coming onslaught.
While Leonard Churchill was fast, the fog around him stuck to him like a shadow.
Just as he was less than ten meters from the Curse Witch, the fog in the void condensed, and four figures appeared once again.
As Leonard prepared to reach out towards the Curse Witch, four daggers came at him simultaneously.
This time, with the advantage of foresight, the angles of the attacks were more cunning, and each dagger aimed for a vital spot.
Moreover, they were a team!
An elite team, naturally expert at joined team attacks.
Without needing communication, once the spell, Twin Soul Entanglement, was cast, the other three automatically knew what they were about to do.
The Curse Witch did not even make an attempt at evading or defending, left wide open.
She pulled out a card and decisively cast a spell: “Curse Skill: Painful Hinge!”
The ghostly head behind her suddenly swallowed a chain, wrapped around a paper figure, began to tighten like a meat grinder.
Normally, the target locked by the chains would experience an intense headache.
Even if it was for a brief moment, under the current circumstances, it could decide the outcome of the battle.
This move was to create an opportunity for her team to land a fatal blow!
The card in her hand disintegrated, and the Curse Witch’s face relaxed, as she was certain the target was locked and could not evade.
But to her surprise, Leonard’s enlightenment also gave him a prompt: “You have been exempted from the ‘Curse Skill: Painful Hinge’ once”
His pottery jar was known to be able to exempt him from nearly all curses. This was his trump card, known to very few.
Even Reuel Bible didn’t know it.
So no matter where the intelligence of the X Bureau agents came from, this was their blind spot!
Leonard had seen this type of curse in classic texts.
In reality, when he saw the Curse Witch use the Twin Soul Entanglement spell, he had already guessed the kinds of spells she was capable of by her professional sequence.
The majority of these spells were curse spells.
This reduced Churchill’s threat by more than half.
With his spirit now locked, under such great conditions, it would be unacceptable for the opposition not to use some curse spells.
But it wasn’t definite.
Leonard wore a fierce grin on his face.
Without any hesitation, he decided to take a risk.
Gambling on the unknown was part of the thrill of a fight after all.
In the moment he saw the enlightenment tip, he pretended his spirit was shaken, causing his body to freeze for a moment.
This fatal flaw was instantly revealed.
Seeing this, the three opponents were overjoyed: Success!
This kind of opportunity would not be missed; almost simultaneously, the third-order assassin’s four daggers were thrust forward.
Yet, in the next moment, something unexpected happened.
The dual eyes of Leonard, that were unsure just a moment ago, suddenly became fierce.
Twisting his waist slightly in the moment his body froze, it caused the dagger aimed at his chest to miss its target: his heart.
“Uh~”
The dagger slid smoothly into his chest and blood spurted out instantly.
However, the Hooded God Thief was far from happy; instead, his eyes widened in horror.
Others might not have noticed his detailed action of dodging the fatal blow just now, but the assassin saw it clearly.
This kind of action was not unique.
But!
With his three duplicates, how did this guy know which dagger was his?!
With this thought in mind, the third-order card master realized something was amiss due to his instinct for danger.
But now it’s too late!
The Hooded God Thief saw a hand already holding onto the dagger, while, at the same time, a face with a derisive smile came into view as if silently communicating: Got you now!
From the very beginning, Leonard Churchill’s first target wasn’t the Curse Witch.
It was this Third-Tier assassin!
Only by killing him would the issue be truly resolved.
It would also give Leonard Churchill a sense of pleasure.
The opponent found his agility tricky, but he similarly found the opponent’s misty instantaneous movement troublesome.
Without a special means to severely attack this guy,
The chance of killing him was slim!
Everybody at the X Bureau were elites, and there would absolutely not be any room for wishful thinking in fighting against such a master.
So, Leonard Churchill knew he needed to catch him off guard!
The first issue he had to resolve, was distinguishing which one out of the assassin’s four clones was the real body!
Leonard Churchill thought of the only method that could label the opponent without giving away any details; that was through scent.
So the previous ankle attack wasn’t completely unavoidable.
He intentionally got hit!
The moment this man was marked with his blood, the four clones no longer appear exactly the same.
Even if this man deliberately cleaned the blood off the dagger, to an Ancestral Werewolf, this remaining hint of blood scent was already enough to distinguish many things.
Now, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy thought he could dodge the Curse Skill, they would surely attack.
This was the perfect chance for a kill!
With “Cellular Activity Boiling” Leonard Churchill wouldn’t die from just a single stab.
But if the enemy gets stabbed once, it might not necessarily be the same case!
The strategy was almost identical to when Saul Miller was attacked and that Third-Tier covert guard was killed.
It was only because Sophia Jones secretly helped back then that he was able to succeed.
But now, Leonard Churchill was no longer that First-Tier newbie!
The Hooded God Thief watched as his hand was paralyzed, and his expression drastically changed.
He immediately realized how exactly his clone was discovered, but he didn’t understand why the Curse Skill didn’t work?
Leonard Churchill wouldn’t give him time to think. The moment his hand pierced his chest, his other arm completely locked the God Thief’s right arm in place.
The strength after his transformation was in no way inferior to that of the Third-Tier God Thief.
With a violent move, there was immediate sound of “cracking” muscle.
Leonard Churchill knew that his advantage lay in his physical body.
Fighting face-to-face was the best combat method.
The Third-Tier Card Master had a Curse Seal to protect him, so while grappling onto him, Leonard quickly put him in the common grappling lock known as “cross”, instantly pinning the assassin to the ground.
With that, the assassin’s entire upper body was hardly able to move.
At the same time, the long-hidden scalpel whooshed towards the man’s face, not swaying in the slightest, striking right in the eye socket.
Now that Leonard Churchill possesses the Silver Moon Secret Technique, his Mental Power has dramatically increased. The scalpel controlled by his Mental Power is as if it’s his third hand—precise and deadly—jabbing vigorously.
Blood gushed from the Hooded God Thief’s face, his expression filled with horror!
He wanted to pull out the scalpel, but Leonard Churchill didn’t give him the chance.
With a small change in his cross lock, he delivered a heavy kick to his head.
Leonard Churchill has three “hands” while the opponent only has two.
The man still wanted to get up, but found himself restrained by the strong force!
“Such terrifying strength!”
At this moment, the Hooded God Thief finally realized that he was up against a truly terrifying opponent.
Leonard Churchill was grinning from ear to ear.
After his transformation, his power attributes have far surpassed the majority of the Third-Tier Card Masters.
He had been hiding his true abilities for such a long time, just waiting for this moment.
Nothing wrong had happened as long as he hadn’t been stuck in close combat.. Now that he was locked in close-quarters combat, there was no way Leonard Churchill would give him a chance to live!
