Chapter 627: Chapter 211: The Arrival of the Thirteen Knights, An Invincible Lineup! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2
The expressions of those guards froze instantly, transforming from confusion to horror.
Visibly, a layer of white frost rapidly formed on their bodies, and in an instant, each person turned into an ice sculpture, dead on the spot.
Seeing that even the Third Tier guard captain had frozen to death without a struggle, Leonard Churchill murmured to himself, “Huh… It’s gotten stronger again.”
With one look, he realized Camilla had advanced to the Fourth Tier.
However, just being at the Fourth Tier was clearly not enough to cope with today’s situation.
…
Camilla’s body could undergo elemental transformation; if she wanted to escape, common methods would hardly be able to detain her.
Moreover, her current attire of a cloak and mask made it known to all that she represented that organization.
The Thirteen Masked Knights were not just one person.
Just like last time at Rose Manor, when the strongest ranger of this era stepped in, he forcibly rescued someone right under Carlo’s nose, and no one could do anything about it.
Queen Orlan had laid out this plan, obviously intending to eradicate them completely.
They were also well-prepared.
Without any surprise, a sudden change abruptly occurred.
As the “prey” was ensnared, the lights around the entire banquet hall eerily softened.
In a very short amount of time, the crystal chandeliers, the silverware on the tables, all sorts of jewelry… the colors of anything that glowed became distorted.
In the blink of an eye, the world in front of them turned into an abstract oil painting with heavy and bold strokes.
The sensory world twisted, causing all the guests present to be terrified.
However, Leonard was no stranger to this sensation.
Or rather, he might be one of the few in this world who had seen this scene and were still alive.
“So, people from the X Bureau have also gotten involved…”
Leonard frowned slightly as he watched.
The scenario before his eyes was the effect of the sealing of the Disaster Object “X-215 – Monet’s Sunrise.”
All of them, everyone present, were confined within the Barrier created by this Disaster Object.
This move was also intended to prevent the assassins from escaping.
Once the Barrier was in place,
Carlo, the host, spoke up with a grave voice, “You assassins are far too audacious! Since you dare to run wild in the Lionheart Family…”
Listening to this self-righteous speech, Leonard suddenly felt that these high-ranking politicians were all qualified actors.
However, Camilla had no intention of wasting words with these people. With a flip of her slender hand, a crystalline card of ice appeared in her grip, and she softly chanted, “Mystery·Thousand Frost Piercer!”
The card shattered, and in mid-air, it swiftly condensed into an ice spear over a foot long.
Visibly, the ice spear emitted a cold aura that distorted the air around it.
Before anyone could react, a “whoosh” sounded as the spear thrust directly at Catherine nearby.
The guards were incredibly quick to react!
Several Heavy Armored Black Knights simultaneously raised their shields.
The ice crystal spear shattered upon the shields with a “clang,” sounding clear and crisp like broken glass.
This defense not only failed to hold but something even more terrifying happened.
The ice spear exploded into countless fine needles of ice amidst a mist, scattering in all directions like a violent storm.
Between the cracks.
The ice needles slipped through the gaps in the Heavy Armored Knights’ armor, penetrating the flesh and causing the cold from the ice spears to suddenly burst forth.
Even with armor providing exceptionally high magic resistance, the Black Knights had no time to react and felt both spirit and body instantly frozen stiff.
In that instant, more than a dozen elite guards had turned into a collection of ice sculptures.
And it wasn’t over yet!
The countless exploded ice needles, piercing through the guard’s shield wall, aimed straight at Carlo and Catherine behind.
Facing such peril, neither showed any signs of panic.
Just then, a robed figure suddenly appeared beside Catherine and, with a spread of his hands, a rolling mass of brown earthy Curse Power converged to form a Curse Power Shield in front of them.
The myriad fine ice needles tore through the Curse Power Shield, instantly forming an ice wall.
But their rampage was curtailed.
This mysteriously appearing caped figure easily blocked the attack.
Leonard, watching the caped figure’s powerful earthy Curse Power, guessed who it was and thought to himself, “A legendary warrior, indeed…”
Last time, in the Underground Cave of the Deep Pit Ruins, a group of cloaked figures wanted to subdue the Angel’s Remains.
One of them was a legendary warrior adept in unparalleled earth element Spells.
Leonard, with his sharp memory, recognized him at a glance.
Seeing a legendary warrior reveal himself, Leonard also started contemplating who from the Thirteen Knights would step up to the situation.
With that person present, Camilla had no chance of killing Queen Catherine.
…
Though protected by a legendary warrior, thus ensuring their safety,
Catherine’s complexion did not look good. She peered at the inscrutable Camilla, her eyes concealing a killing intent as tangible as if it were real.
She had not expected Camilla to advance to the Fourth Tier so rapidly, and to be so powerful.
A mere single move had caused devastating losses to the Lionheart Family’s elite guards.
The original plan was for this batch of guards to be sufficient to capture and kill Camilla.
The rest of the arrangements were to deal with several other troublesome individuals from the Thirteen Knights.
But the current situation appeared grim.
Standing beside her, General Carlo also sported a dark expression. As the host, it was his turn to show his stance.
He bellowed, “Kill her!”
Not far off, several figures suddenly materialized out of the Void. The Lionheart Family’s high-tier Secret Guards also made their move.
However, within a few meters around Camilla, there seemed to be a zone forbidden to living creatures.
The approaching Secret Guards were quickly frozen rigid; although they were high-tier assassins agile as specters,
Now each moved as if in slow motion, the closer they got to Camilla, the slower their actions became.
