Chapter 1051: Chapter 323: The Pinnacle of Taron’s Machinery Technology (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3 Chapter 1051: Chapter 323: The Pinnacle of Taron’s Machinery Technology (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3 He had dared to venture into the Augustus Imperial Tomb before because his mother had granted him some special privileges, which allowed him to summon the ability of Court Worshipers.

He thought that no matter what kind of formidable monsters he encountered, he would always have a backup plan.

But now, it was not just a matter of whether the summoning was possible, but also whether they could deal with the three Mechanical Monsters.

Even if they managed to deal with them, there was no way out of this tomb.

If he caused the sacrifice of Court Worshipers here, it would mean a total loss for his mother’s lineage.

Salo didn’t want to do this, nor did he dare to.

But if he didn’t do something, they were doomed sooner or later.

Just as he was thinking, Princess Betty at his side seemed to have thought of something and urgently exclaimed, “Those three guys were able to get in earlier; perhaps they know the exit of this maze!”

Upon hearing this, Salo’s eyes flashed with a dark light, “Right! Chase those three!”

…

Leonard Churchill and his two companions ran like madmen, with Shadow observing from the extreme limit behind them.

The worst situation had occurred nonetheless.

As they were running, Shadow got killed again.

Leonard rapidly explained the situation in the fastest pace, “Elder, the Mechanical Titan is after us! It’s the Assassin Type, and it will catch up in at most ten breaths!”

As soon as Elder Clinton heard this, his old face froze, “Huh? It caught up?”

He wasn’t as nervous before, but once it was mentioned, Elder Clinton became even more flustered, “It’s over, it’s over, what do we do now…”

Leonard didn’t want to listen to that. He wanted to know if there was a plan to cope with the situation.

But obviously, there wasn’t one.

Perhaps at the most critical moment, Elder Clinton’s “Other Identity Appeared” might solve the problem.

But Leonard felt that he shouldn’t put all his hope on him.

It was true that Elder Clinton wouldn’t die, but he himself might.

Even Leonard had a suspicion that the result of Elder Clinton not dying might have something to do with himself…

But now there was no way to confirm it.

Just as he was speaking, the corridor was already filled with the “puff-puff” sounds of the Magic Energy Furnace charging up for a rapid assault.

“We’ve been locked on!”

Realizing this, Leonard’s eyes turned sharp.

He decisively abandoned the backup plan involving Elder Clinton and quickly started analyzing in his mind.

The strongest methods he had at his disposal were the angel’s head and wings.

But he wasn’t certain whether releasing them would be effective against the attacks.

Moreover, Leonard always had the feeling that the Weeping Angel, being Taron’s Guardian Angel, might not help an outsider like him against the Tomb Guardians.

There was no escaping now.

Leonard recalled some strategies he had come up with earlier in his mind.

While they were running away, Leonard had actually set some misleading decoys like clothing. When Shadow was killed twice, he had gathered some crucial information.

There was absolutely no chance to prevail in a head-on confrontation.

The only hope was to hide.

He didn’t know whether the Machinery was controlled by Undead Spirits or if it was a pure mechanical entity. However, both had a weakness in their perception.

The sensing abilities of both the Undead and Machinery were preset conditioned reflexes, not true Wisdom.

With this thought, he knew he had to rely on himself. Rapidly deducing in his mind, “Machinery might be formidable, but it’s not without weaknesses. Their perception systems are human-defined… this includes ‘auditory perception,’ ‘olfactory perception,’ ‘thermal perception,’ ‘motion-target perception,’ ‘biological-feature perception’… there’s also a possibility, some kind of ‘mark.’ If it is so, we’re definitely dead…”

“Previously, we tried using flesh baits, but the Mechanical Assassin didn’t fall for it. It’s not just blood and smell. It must be a complex sensory ability…”

By the time he reached this conclusion, six breaths had already passed, and Leonard decisively made a decision.

He spoke swiftly to Elder Clinton and Colin beside him, “We can’t outrun it! The only option is to feign death and hide. Suppress all life signs as much as possible!”

Leonard had witnessed Elder Clinton’s Feign Death Skill before, it was no worse than his own.

Since Colin was Clinton’s true disciple, he likely wasn’t far behind.

Colin had deep trust in Leonard and responded without hesitation, “Okay!”

Elder Clinton didn’t waste time talking; he simply lied down on the ground, already breathless.

Seeing this, Leonard also stopped abruptly, put down the coffin, and with his Fist Strength, broke the bands on top with a snap.

If something unexpected happened, the last hope would be betting on the angel’s help.

He then also lay down on the ground, throwing out an “Ice Seal Card”.

This was a standard Second Tier Sorcery Card, with average attack effects.

But its effect was to significantly lower the temperature over a large area.

Leonard wasn’t sure how the Mechanical Battle Armor discovered its targets, so he did everything he could to cover all bases.

Just as the three of them lay down, the card shattered, and a layer of frost formed on the ground within a hundred meters.

The Cold aura also instantly suppressed the body temperature of the three to almost the same level as the environment.

Almost the very next second after completing all these actions, around the bend of the corridor, a semi-transparent Illusion flickered as it rushed forward.

This was the Titan Mechanical Assassin capable of optical Stealth.

At that moment, it was like a hunting dog chasing its prey, its feet stepping on the icy surface, making “crack” and “crack” sounds.

A sense of deathly oppression even more chilling than the Cold aura slowly approached.

It was fortunate that the mental strength and the Feign Death Skill of Leonard’s trio were excellent, otherwise, just the sound of that approach could have caused a heartbeat anomaly leading to exposure.

Leonard suppressed all nervous emotions.

He considered this good news; not being discovered immediately meant that their preparations were effective!

For the moment, their methods had confused the Titan Assassin.

This tense stand-off lasted only a second when suddenly a burst of mechanical friction noise erupted.
