Chapter 566: Chapter 194 Judgment_2
The tone was icy cold, no beating around the bush.
But… it was a woman!
Moreover, Leonard Churchill recognized her voice, thinking to himself, “Vivian White? She’s in here too?”
Seeing the woman come in, he also realized that the exploration team this time seemed quite extravagant.
He had experienced the White Family’s methods in the Deep Pit Mysterious Realm before; she was someone who could not be killed no matter what.
However, the stronger they are, the better.
He feared others might be too weak to handle this A-level mission.
Leonard Churchill didn’t doubt the woman’s ruthless tactics, yet his expression subtly conveyed his struggle before reluctantly pulling out a package after a bolt struck his shoulder. “A single-person A-level mission to deliver Ironforge City Lord Moissanite’s call for help to Bourbon City, three hundred kilometers away.”
“An A-level mission?”
Hearing this, Vivian White perched high in the tree changed her expression, evidently surprised as well.
After many explorations, they had only set out on a few B-level side quests, and it was unexpected to receive an A-level mission this time.
A-level missions in War Mode weren’t to be taken lightly.
She barked, “Give me the letter!”
Leonard Churchill didn’t hesitate, straightaway tossing the package over.
Whoever gets the package, the mission gets transferred.
Vivian White’s face flickered with a different color as she caught the package. “What’s in the package? Also, how did you accept this mission?”
Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s enlightenment had already manifested: “You are exempt from the ‘True Word Skill’ erosion…”
The hypnotic Mental Secret Skill would normally make it easy for a Third Tier like Vivian White to control a Second Tier card master, but unfortunately, there was the Clown Mask.
There was no need to lie about this; Leonard Churchill simply said, “I don’t know. The package is sealed with a magic contract; I can’t open it.”
Then he added, “Before I entered, someone gave me intelligence and some items related to the plot, directing me to the City Lord Manor. That’s where I accepted this mission.”
Vivian White pressed, “Who gave you the items?”
Leonard Churchill: “I don’t know. I’m only responsible for completing the mission.”
Hearing this answer, Vivian White did not inquire further.
She thought she knew that the man before her was a dead soldier planted by the Orlan Remnants, so the answer was not a problem.
However, at that moment, they suddenly heard a loud bang in the air, and a figure broke through the encirclement and disappeared into the Dense Forest in an instant.
Now that the object had been snatched and the goal reached, Leonard Churchill had no intention of lingering.
He was confident that those people would not really try to kill him, so he chose to Break Through without Transformation.
Luckily he bet right.
His back took two more slashes and an arrow, but he managed to break out successfully.
…
After running in the Dense Forest for a while, Leonard Churchill looked back and saw no one was pursuing him, but he didn’t feel the slightest bit relieved.
He had seen Vivian White’s Unorthodox Tactics of the White Family himself.
Chances were, he had already been possessed at that moment, or some sort of tracking Spell had locked onto him.
But it didn’t matter.
Compared to the difficulty of the plot in this space, such a threat was not too serious.
Leonard Churchill put some distance between himself and the others but did not go far.
The Werewolf’s keen sense of smell allowed him to easily pinpoint the location of those people through the various scents in the air.
They had taken the package and would naturally suspect that opening it might be dangerous.
But they didn’t have the “magic contract” and would inevitably open it to check.
Leonard Churchill felt that he would surely discover something if he just waited.
But no anomalies were observed.
So he waited up in the tree branch, treating his wounds with a Potion while keeping an eye on his surroundings.
But suddenly!
The Demon Pointer in Leonard Churchill’s hand started spinning wildly.
“What’s happening?”
Watching the pointer whirl in his hand, Leonard Churchill immediately thought of something.
From his previous experience in the space, such erratic spinning of the pointer meant that many powerful Demons were closing in.
“Damn… Did those people open the package?”
His eyes narrowed slightly, uncertain whether there was an issue with the package itself or if opening it had drawn the Demons.
But he immediately moved to a farther and safer location.
Vivian White’s group clearly had experts in perception, and almost right after Leonard Churchill left, they saw a gathering firework shoot skyward, bursting into dazzling light in the sky.
It was the signal for assembly.
After identifying the mission’s target, all the squads would rally together.
After all, hunting the “Red Robe Shaman” was a team mission, and if they were defeated individually, everyone would die here.
“Tsk, looks like it’s a big trouble. They’re assembling right away…”
Leonard Churchill was also glad he had withdrawn.
Otherwise, if surrounded by the Demon Legion, no one could guarantee survival in this currently unsurvivable B-level mission.
Hardly had Leonard Churchill time to ponder when the combat suddenly erupted.
In the forest, various colorful Curse Cards exploded, the sound and light intense, standing out in the Dark Forest.
And the noise of battle grew from the start, with High Tier Cards exploding left and right in no time.
Storm Tornado, Great Sun Burning, Meteor Fall…
At first, Leonard Churchill watched the fight with a spectator’s curiosity, but when he noticed more and more High Tier Cards being used, he immediately realized something was very wrong!
It wasn’t just Spells, but also the magical fluctuations of the Demons.
Fire rained from the sky, land cracked open.
The shock waves were so powerful that even several kilometers away felt the fierce winds.
“This isn’t right… with this intensity of battle, there must be at least tens of thousands of Demons, right?”
Leonard Churchill was well aware of the combat power of the Lionheart Family’s elite.
Not to mention Vivian White herself, even those dozens of people from before with countless Curse Cards, could easily take down a Vanguard Legion of Demons.
