Chapter 641: Chapter 214: Universal Card·Knight and Princess_4
Death’s shadowy clouds lingered in his heart, refusing to disperse.
Even “Golden Lion” Carlo, upon seeing this, felt a chill and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
The situation seemed to be spiraling out of control.
The summoning of “Angel Wings” was one thing, but if that queen managed to summon some terrifying entity, they would be trapped in the oil painting barrier with nowhere to escape.
But the more he thought about it, the more despairing the situation seemed.
If she hadn’t summoned some super-tier existence, how could the queen have possibly survived in the hands of the leader of the Thirteen Knights?
The entity within the silver Spirit Communication Array was bound to be some “great terror”!
Others might not know what the dreadful commotion of the Spirit Communication Skill pointed to, but Leonard Churchill’s eyes twitched slightly as he watched; this summoning ritual felt maddeningly familiar to him: “It couldn’t be that one, could it…?”
Looking at the familiar Silver Moon Divine Power, he felt the familiar oppressive presence of a high-tier creature.
Yes.
It was probably exactly what he thought.
Without any surprises, there slowly appeared within that communication array… an Undead Spirit.
First came the feet, then the torso, a body with feminine characteristics, headless.
It was shrouded in Death Air, yet from within the Death Air, Holy Light radiated.
A very strange feeling.
Although the corpse was wrapped in a dark yellow Corpse-Wrapping Cloth and looked exactly like a mummy,
Leonard Churchill, looking at the Light-Dark Shroud he once owned, had already guessed that it must contain the headless body of the Weeping Angel.
Leonard couldn’t help but mock himself inwardly.
Despite his low tier, he was probably the only one here who had experienced the various remains of angels.
But looking at the “Headless Angel” being summoned, Leonard’s expression became odd.
He had personally witnessed its power back in the Mysterious Underground Palace of Summer Shepherd City.
It could teleport instantaneously.
As for combat power, well…
The old man next door had the right to speak on that.
The legendary earth-tier powerhouse had nearly perished in an instant during their last encounter.
If it were to be unleashed and lose control…
Everyone in the banquet hall, without exception, would likely die.
Last time, Leonard escaped death due to the entanglement of Tracy Garcia’s Life Pattern.
Wait…
Tracy Garcia?
Leonard suddenly thought of the Roundhead lady.
If behind this was her current arrangement, then the true intention was actually for this moment.
“So it was she who brought out these Angel’s Remains…”
Leonard understood everything.
He also suddenly knew his own use.
Thinking of this, he walked towards the edge of the Barrier.
While all the guests’ attention was focused on the Headless Angel, they discovered that the Clown, who should have already taken his bow, had once again stepped onto the stage, standing under the spotlight.
He was once an inconspicuous “supporting actor,” yet now he was involved in a key plot twist.
…
Queen Catherine summoning this existence, too, was at the end of her rope.
The Angel Wings were one thing, for they were at most a severed limb.
But this headless body was a vessel for angelic Divine Power.
Catherine might have fused with Angel Wings, but that did not mean she could control the Angel’s Body.
At least from her attitude, she couldn’t, not for the moment.
Leonard did not know what purpose the people of the Orlan Dynasty had in collecting Angel’s Remains.
But clearly, Tracy Garcia’s mother and the Thirteen Knights did not want the Old Era Remnants to succeed in their acquisition.
So they set up this scheme, hoping to seize both the Angel Wings and Angel’s Remains in one fell swoop.
And only the Queen of Orlan’s body would “explode” with such high-level gear.
The machinations were subtle, the arrangements far-reaching.
But at this moment, all the threads of cause and effect became clear.
…
Since the “Pursuer of Light” had already left, Leonard was not worried about going out to face death.
So he walked out boldly.
Another person unexpectedly stepped out of the Barrier, stunning everyone, all of whom began to doubt in unison: Was the gambling round’s Barrier not meant to restrict exit?
However, it turned out that the legendary earth-tier powerhouse, intent on protecting his master, tried to leave but couldn’t escape the range of the Barrier no matter what.
Knight Leonard didn’t understand why he could leave.
But from the beginning, he knew he wasn’t confined by the Barrier.
Because to his eyes, the Enlightenment clearly showed: no restrictions.
Late, however, he considered a possibility.
The Pursuer of Light could leave because of his supremely high Law Understanding.
Leonard, who completely didn’t grasp the essence of the Barrier, believed that his ability to disregard it was only because of the JOKER Mark.
The Clown Card in many Poker Round variations is the “Universal Card.”
It can replace any value and be paired with almost any hand.
It is not constrained by rules; it is the card of freedom.
This is a rule of the Poker Round itself.
In this round, Leonard’s effect was that of the “Knight” entangled in a fierce struggle with the wicked queen for the princess.
This is the entire backstory of the “Poker Round·Snow White.”
Leonard, having participated in this round, was also gradually starting to comprehend the true meaning of the JOKER Mark’s “Universal Card” entry.
