Chapter 630: Chapter 212: Poker Round · Snow White
“Who is this person?”
“There’s a second legendary fighter in the Thirteen Masked Knights? Hiss… I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
“This is bad. If four knights from the Thirteen Knights have arrived, they must be here to complete an assassination mission. But who exactly is this Lady Catherine?”
“…”
The onlookers watching the fourth masked figure suppress the whole scene also suddenly realized that something was very wrong.
Anyone capable of casting a ‘Domain’ must be a Legendary Card Master.
There was a ‘Pursuer of Light’ Rem among the Thirteen Knights who was a Legendary ranger, which had been recorded in the intelligence early on.
But this second legend…
And apparently, they came with a significant background.
The situation had suddenly become unfathomable.
Originally, Leonard Churchill suspected that the Lionheart Family’s behind-the-scenes planner might have taken this opportunity to severely damage the Orlan Remnants, allowing both the Thirteen Masked Knight Organization and the Orlan Remnants to suffer mutual losses.
But now, seeing the same surprise in Catherine Carter’s eyes, he knew that she, the planner, also had no idea that the leader of the Thirteen Knights, ‘Pursuer of Light’, would come.
Regardless of whether they recognized him or not, the posture had already made everyone in the banquet hall feel a deadly crisis.
Even guests unknowingly embroiled in today’s assassination attempt realized that things were very wrong.
A battle involving legendary fighters could easily shatter mountains and destroy cities; it was not something that could be casually witnessed.
But now they were all trapped inside by this space barrier, with nowhere to flee.
The oppressive auras of three legends and many other strong contenders clashed, overwhelming for low-tier card masters to withstand.
The rotund nobles turned pale, trembling like chaff.
Even Leonard Churchill narrowed his eyes as he watched.
If it really came down to a fight, he was also wondering where he could hide to save his life.
However, it seemed like the Thirteen Knights had no intention of harming the innocent.
The moment that ‘Pursuer of Light’ appeared, he controlled the entire scene with his Domain that no one could understand, and with an easy smile, he looked at the crowd prepared for battle like, “Don’t be so tense. I’m not the main character today…”
As he spoke, a playful smile shimmered in his eyes beneath the mask. He then pulled out a Dark Gold poker card, infused it with Curse Power, and it blazed brightly as he softly chanted, “Poker Round·Snow White.”
The Dark Gold poker card scattered on the spot.
And then, a magical scene unfolded.
The abstract, painting-like sensory world around them once again began to change.
In the blink of an eye, the guests watched as the banquet hall transformed into a lush, vast tabletop.
Familiar squares appeared on it as well.
Wasn’t this a gambling table from a casino?
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that they were standing beside an enormous gambling table.
Watching the mysterious ‘Pursuer of Light’ in action, the original Orlan Court Worshiper who was prepared to intervene became scared pale as he realized that he was completely powerless against this spell, and could only watch helplessly as the massive gambling table appeared.
But that was just the beginning.
Before Lady Catherine Queen could react, she found herself suddenly at one end of the gambling table, turned into a “gambler.”
And at the other end, Camilla also appeared in the position to gamble against her.
…
“Poker Round·Snow White?”
Leonard Churchill was sure he hadn’t misheard the name just now.
Not just him, all the guests wore expressions of utter disbelief.
Because that name referred to a very common two-player duel played with poker on the market.
Both sides of the gambler had “five cards” in a turn-based duel.
For the first four cards, both sides drew random ones, big and small, but overall, the strength of the hands was roughly equal.
The gamblers themselves assembled their card combinations and organized the order of play.
Winning meant beating the card, consuming the opponent’s staked chips.
Finally, it was Snow White against the Queen.
A battle for life or death.
Simply put, the game rules meant a turn-based, one-on-one duel!
Seeing this, Leonard Churchill’s expression grew complex.
Because looking at the two sides of the duel, he instantly thought of the fairy tale story passed down from ancient times that was behind this poker game.
It was said that once in a Kingdom, a malicious Queen, envious of a beautiful princess, had poisoned her. The princess drifted among the common people, met a righteous warrior, and then she returned with the warrior to battle against the wicked queen. In the end, righteousness triumphed over evil.
Looking at the current situation, with Camilla and Queen Catherine already at the table, wasn’t this just like the story of the poker game?
“How… how is this possible?”
Leonard Churchill did not believe this was a coincidence.
Besides the fairy tale story behind the poker game, he found it remarkable, “Is this… forcing a melee to become a turn-based combat?”
This posture suggested that the ‘Pursuer of Light’ with a single spell, had forcefully changed the rules of combat?
Just before, Leonard Churchill felt that if it were a melee, Camilla’s side might not necessarily be able to kill Lady Catherine Queen.
And even if they did manage to kill her, the Thirteen Knights side would also inevitably suffer injuries.
It might not be worth acting.
But seeing this spell that forcibly changed the rules of combat, it completely solved that problem.
The enemy had to play by the rules he set.
The onlooking onlookers wouldn’t be affected either.
Leonard Churchill also realized that these rules were tailored by Camilla; she wanted to personally kill Queen Catherine.
But this move to forcibly change the combat rules was utterly astonishing.
Unable to help himself, Leonard Churchill asked, “What exactly is the capacity of this ‘I am the world’ Domain?”
He had previously seen some superficial descriptions of “Domain” in Classic Books.
