Chapter 638: Chapter 214: Universal Card·Knight and Princess
If it weren’t for Leonard Churchill knowing about Tracy Garcia’s mother,
and her secret intervention in the ownership of the “Xismark Holy Grail,”
the mastermind behind the entire plan would never have appeared from start to finish, and no one would have detected a trace of her existence.
Thus, divination, prophecy, and all sorts of mysterious system spells would fail to yield any actionable intelligence.
Only then could the plan be smoothly implemented.
After all, the “target,” Queen Catherine’s identity, was too special.
This might well be the only chance to kill her.
This also allowed Leonard Churchill to experience for the first time the skills of these high-tier strategists.
If one couldn’t see through them, they would likely just think this was a simple act of assassination and revenge.
But seeing through them could yield great benefits.
The most important thing at the moment, however, was the fight between Camilla and Queen Catherine.
Between the two of them, death was inevitable.
...
At the gambling table, the other three Knight Card battles were still raging.
While Leonard Churchill was leisurely collecting the Spoils of War.
While thinking, he also carefully observed the casino boundary around him.
He also confirmed some peculiar places he had noticed before.
Meanwhile, Queen Catherine began her counterattack!
After the Demonic Solution, the Illusion of the nine-headed beast erupted with billowing Demonic Power.
With the power of angels bolstering her, she was domineering and unmatched.
Those dark grey wings on the Queen’s back spread wide as if a genuine angel had descended, and suddenly, a pressure that was hard to describe surged.
Just from looking directly at her, the High-Level Creature’s Might hit everyone’s hearts in an instant, instinctively causing a fear that welled up from the depths of their souls.
Even Carlo, the “Golden Lion,” who was pretending to be in a tough fight, felt some trepidation upon seeing this and questioned whether his decision was correct.
The methods revealed by the Orlan Remnants were far beyond his expectations.
If the plan failed this time, their Lionheart Family might be in for a backlash.
But at the same time, he steeled his gaze, knowing the trouble would only grow if they couldn’t kill her now.
Not just the Lionheart Family, among the guests, individuals from the White Family, Miller Family, and other top Federation elite displayed various expressions.
The former Orlan Royal Family ruled the New World for over two thousand years, controlling almost all of the top-level Card Master resources.
These Orlan Remnants held too many top-tier and even “Super Tier” secrets in their hands.
This was a foundation none of these Senator families had.
Almost no one in the venue fully understood the cause and effect behind Catherine’s Spell.
But in a corner, the “Pursuer of Light” who had just killed the Silver Moon Leader again, seemed to have seen through something, murmuring to himself in a mosquito-like whisper, “Hmm... God Thief, stepping into the God Tier? It seems she planned to leap straight to Legend using the power of angels. Tsk tsk... these Orlan Remnants do control some secrets to breaking through the Sixth Tier.”
If it wasn’t for this early exposure, it was hard to tell what the consequences would be once it really took off.
...
If this Queen Catherine was just a regular Fourth Tier Card Master, Camilla would probably kill her without breaking a sweat.
However, it looked like everyone had “miscalculated.”
The Queen of Orlan’s strength was so formidable it could not be assessed with the normal Card Master tiers.
As the fire crows swept down from the sky, they struck Camilla’s Elemental Barrier bolstered by the Holy Grail.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“...”
The clash of ice and fire exploded into a foggy mist within the Boundary.
Clearly, even though Camilla was supported by the Holy Grail, her Power of Ice Law, which was naturally countered by fire, was at a disadvantage within this Forbidden Curse.
The Holy Grail’s silver light was quickly overcome by the grey-black flames, shrinking into an increasingly small sphere of silver light.
