He had made his choice.
And it seems to be a brutal method.
Directly integrating it into his flesh.
To call him a man would be inaccurate; he is more like a half-human, half-beast monstrosity.
But discovering this only made Leonard Churchill more excited.
It’s not often one encounters a similarly afflicted being..
If he was to simply die from a slap, that would be disappointing.
Robin Smith shared the same sentiment.
The two exchanged glances and smiled.
Leonard pursued. As Robin, who had flown backward, suddenly conjured a card from thin air, his fingers gleamed like metal after channeling curse power into the card.
The werewolf’s attack was swift, even before the two could get close, Robin suddenly pulled on something.
A sense of danger surged in Leonard’s heart and he abruptly halted.
Just as he stopped, he felt something tighten around him.
On closer inspection, thin, hair-like wires were already embedded in his skin, leaving bloody marks.
Two of the wires, charged with curse power, were located on his neck.
If Leonard hadn’t stopped in time, with that speed, these wires would have acted like blades and cut off his head.
“Ancient relic?”
Leonard, looking at the increasingly tight wires, squinted slightly.
The stranger the weapon, the harder it is to control.
Although this wire relic is clandestine and lethal, it’s not easy to wield it effectively.
Channeling curse power and being able to change the shape and direction of the wire is impressive.
In the blink of an eye, Robin had stopped his upward momentum, both hands pulled slightly, and the multiple wires he was controlling instantly tightened.
The sharpness was intimidating.
Leonard could only feel as if he had been slashed by multiple knives at once, his blood flowed freely.
He was like prey entangled in a spider’s web, instantly immobilized.
Don’t be fooled by Robin’s self-limitation to the level of a Second Tier Card Master.
But his actual understanding of the laws, insights, methods, or even combat experience, were not something that lower tier card masters could compare to.
If Robin had acted with everything he had in this confrontation, Leonard would probably have been torn into pieces with just one strike.
Luckily, Robin also limited his understanding of the law to the Second Tier, so for Leonard, the danger wasn’t instantly lethal.
“Control over multiple directions of mental power due to the symbiotic tentacle…”
Leonard, looking at the wires moving flexibly in the air like seaweed, immediately realized what was going on.
His own mental power could also control multiple targets simultaneously.
However, the problem now was that he couldn’t move.
Not far away, Reuel Bible watched the entire battle.
Watching Leonard being restrained by the wire, his eyes narrowed, “Is he going to lose?”
He had long heard about the renowned detective Robin Smith’s capabilities.
Although his methods were peculiar, his case-solving rate was nearly one hundred percent.
Since Robin chose this method of combat, it certainly meant he was confident.
Leonard’s unusual combat power was indeed beyond ordinary, even capable of killing a Third Tier.
But Robin had most of Leonard’s information from the beginning.
Even if he restrained his power, he was well prepared.
This wire perfectly counters almost all Close Combat Card Masters.
Even Reuel himself could not figure out how Leonard could break free from this.
However, he didn’t anticipate–
At this moment, he saw an Illusion gradually emerge behind Leonard, who was in a desperate situation.
“That is…?!”
Reuel’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Although the Illusion was very fuzzy, it was indeed there!
If a Second Order Card Master could manifest such a phenomenon, this meant…
His Demon Mark was most likely one of the Fifty-two Demonic Origin Cards!
