Chapter 629: Chapter 211: The Arrival of the Thirteen Knights, An Invincible Lineup! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_4
He carefully perceived the oppressive aura of these top fighters, his eyes reflecting the swiftly passing illusions.
If it weren’t for his fear of revealing his identity, he truly wished to apply the Demonic Solution and observe what the world of the strong was really like.
However, just when everyone thought the situation was settled.
It seemed an unsurprising surprise occurred again.
People who truly understood the “Thirteen Knights” knew that they had never failed a mission.
Just this alone was not enough to kill that Catherine.
There would certainly be other moves to follow.
In the gaze of the few expecting something, Carlo, who had just charged out, suddenly flew back in reverse.
Everyone took a closer look and saw Camilla, radiating a cold aura, along with another person in the same style cloak and mask, rushing in.
The third one.
With that standard attire, everyone’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.
Another assassin from the Thirteen Knights had arrived.
And this one was not an unfamiliar face.
Looking at the unique pattern on the mask and that eerie dagger that seemed to cut through the Void…
Even those who had not seen him in person had seen him on the Black Market’s arrest warrants.
This was none other than the infamous “Number One Assassin” of the Thirteen Knights, the strongest ranger of the age, the Legendary Card Master ‘Pursuer of Light’ Rem!
The Thirteen Knights are now stereotypically considered an assassin organization by outsiders, largely thanks to this fellow who hunted countless experts.
No one knew his face, but every bounty he took on, not a single target survived.
This was a dangerous individual whose mere name could make countless top figures of the Federation shiver.
Leonard Churchill had previously seen this legendary ranger at Rose Manor, but they hadn’t fought then, so he also knew how strong he truly was.
And now, after his awareness had increased, observing how this person had just used a dagger to repel Carlo, Leonard truly felt the terrifying pressure of being utterly powerless even to die.
In his heart, he couldn’t help but remark, “Hisss… this is the Number One Ranger. But speaking of which, with the display from the Thirteen Knights, are they preparing for a big showdown today?”
According to Reuel Bible, it was uncertain whether the Thirteen Knights still had six members.
Now that three members had appeared, this was no small matter.
It looked like something big was going to happen today.
…
Seeing the legendary ranger appear, everyone in the banquet hall drew a sharp breath.
Even the Royal Court attendant beside Catherine wasn’t confident about stopping ‘Pursuer of Light’ Rem, who was also a legend and specialized in assassination.
Queen Catherine sensed the reminder of the old man beside her and furrowed her brows.
Originally, she thought it would suffice to try to kill Camilla and take out one or two members of the Thirteen Knights along the way.
That was the only objective to be achieved.
But now, looking at one after another arriving, she sensed that something was off.
Someone of her high position would never harbor any illusion of luck.
She instinctively smelled a whiff of conspiracy.
It seemed that not only was she making a plan, but someone else was also making a move at the same time.
Although she couldn’t see the elusive situation, and what exactly was going on.
But she could distinctly feel… the target was aimed at her!
The moment that thought crossed her mind, Queen Catherine was already considering retreat.
Being bait was acceptable.
But now that the prey had arrived.
Her mission was complete.
The attendant of the Royal Court beside her also immediately caught on and prepared to send her out of the Barrier first.
As for the three Thirteen Knights present, with some sacrifices, they might not be impossible to kill.
However, the more Catherine thought about retreating, the more uneasy she felt.
Just as the cloaked person beside her took out Cards to prepare a Spell, a deep voice began guiding a Spell, “Domain·I am the world.”
This time everyone heard it loud and clear.
That voice, like a Demon God descending, whispering in the ear, lingering and inescapable.
And the lazily casual response that came as if from an old friend after a long hiatus said, “Oh dear… since you all want to use a Barrier for a life-and-death confrontation, how could you leave the stage early?”
Before the words had ended, in an instant, an invisible Domain covered the entire banquet hall.
The distorted world of oil paintings seemed to have a filter applied to it, making the sensory world even more twisted.
Oh, no.
To be precise, it was like a prison.
The Disaster Object “X-215-Monet’s Sunrise” formed a Barrier, which was meant to limit people from escaping, but the owner had the key.
Now, the door was locked, and someone else had installed a new lock on it.
Well, now.
No one could leave.
Almost simultaneously with the formation of the Domain, the cards in the hand of the cloaked figure next to Queen Catherine shattered, and he was the first to notice something, his expression changing drastically, “Not good! Another legendary warrior!”
Everyone turned to look, and a mysterious figure wearing a black cloak and a mask appeared in the banquet hall.
The fourth one.
What was different, though, was that this fourth member of the Thirteen Knights seemed not to be very tall, more like a teenager.
And curiously, there was no Demon God’s Phantom behind him?
But as soon as he appeared, an invisible oppressive force swept over everyone’s hearts.
The higher the tier of the card master, the clearer they could feel that prison-like oppression.
Even though he hadn’t done anything, he made people feel trapped in the mud, unable to extricate themselves, breathing more and more rapidly.
A legendary warrior!
Everyone immediately realized what this meant.
….
Although Leonard Churchill didn’t know what had happened in that instant just now.
But looking at Queen Catherine, whose complexion had drastically changed, he also realized that it seemed to be this mysterious figure who suddenly appeared that thwarted some people’s attempts to escape.
And upon looking at the short cloaked figure again, Leonard felt something was odd.
After all, he recognized an acquaintance among the Thirteen Knights.
Someone about that height.
But… it shouldn’t be.
Isn’t Mushroomhead a Third-Tier?
Leonard was very sure of this.
Because the previous Battle of Ironforge had restrictions on entering tiers.
If Noah Wright could get in, he must be only a Third-Tier.
However, before he could think further, Catherine Carter, standing next to him, appeared to be quite shocked.
She recognized the newcomer, her shining eyes trembling, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Pursuer of Light!”
“???”
Leonard, not understanding, looked at her with a questioning gaze.
This Elder Miss of the Lionheart Family seemed to know a lot of high-end secrets.
“I didn’t expect this one to come…”
Catherine was clearly surprised as well, murmuring to herself.
She explained, “If I remember correctly, that mask is that of the ‘Pursuer of Light’ from the Thirteen Knights…”
Leonard did not know the special significance of these titles.
He just listened as Catherine continued to enlighten him, “It is said… that through the ages, every Pursuer of Light has been the ‘leader’ of the Thirteen Knights, all of them supreme warriors…”
“Leader?”
Leonard’s expression became even more bizarre.
He wasn’t puzzled about some leader.
He just felt that it shouldn’t be Mushroomhead, Noah Wright.
But then he thought of that guy’s resurrection ability in the Alternate Dimension…
Hiss, it seemed that some strange thoughts were emerging.
As Catherine spoke, she glanced at the distorted space around them and sighed deeply with profound meaning, “The legendary unsolvable Domain ‘I am the world’… I never expected to witness it.”
Upon hearing this, Leonard squinted his eyes.
His Realm was still beyond his understanding, but it sounded so formidable.
The leader of the Thirteen Knights had arrived, making things very lively.
Leonard was secretly delighted, but across from him, Queen Catherine was not so pleased.
No one knew the origins of the “Thirteen Masked Knights” better than these Orlan Remnants.
After all, the powerful Orlan Dynasty had fallen over two hundred years ago, and this organization was one of the culprits.
And as the Queen of Orlan, she knew better than anyone the significance of the “Pursuer of Light”!
But at the same time, Queen Catherine was both shocked and doubtful, “But Pursuer of Light, Geoff, was supposed to have died years ago! How could he appear here?”
