Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1054 - Chapter 1054 Chapter 324 Old Friend_2

Chapter 1054: Chapter 324 Old Friend_2 Chapter 1054: Chapter 324 Old Friend_2 Upon seeing this, the Security Squad Leader beside Salo immediately comprehended and said with a steady voice, “Who might you be?”

Leonard Churchill paid no attention to the other’s arrogance.

After all, it is normal for those with strength to have a bit of pride.

He did not pay heed to the guard’s aggressive questioning, continuing, “Prince Salo, think carefully, this is your last chance to get out alive.”

The moment this enigmatic statement was made, a sharp Killing Intention permeated the air, along with an indescribable eeriness.

The expressions of the five individuals opposite all turned grave in unison.

Their gazes were icy and piercing, fixed intently on the three people before them.

No matter what, they could not understand from where the three before them drew their confidence.

An unknown figure, a Fourth-Tier Swordsman who has comprehended Time Sword Intention, a mysterious old man who could rescue someone right in front of so many people…

Although indeed extraordinary,

the gap in tiers was still far too great.

The five people from the Southern Continent didn’t think their opponents had any chance at victory.

When Leonard Churchill said this, even Elder Clinton and Colin glanced sideways slightly, equally puzzled about where Leonard’s confidence stemmed from.

Though Salo felt he was being offended, he could easily have ordered his men to kill the other party.

But intuition kept telling him that things were getting stranger and stranger.

Could it be that those fellows knew the location of the three Mechanical Golems and were deliberately provoking me?

Or did they know of some special taboo concerning this Tomb?

Or perhaps…

Salo’s mind was sharp, and for a moment, he considered many possibilities.

Leonard Churchill didn’t care about the guard’s intentions at all.

After a moment of contemplation, Salo finally spoke, “What is it you propose to bet?”

Leonard Churchill answered directly, “Fight me in a match. If you win, I’ll tell you how to leave this Tomb. If you lose, just leave your life behind.”

Since an old friend had arrived, then all dangerous situations would be easily resolved.

It would be a pity if these fellows just died like that; it was good to find some amusement.

Leonard had no interest and certainly couldn’t beat the two Sixth-Tier guards or the Seventh-Tier Old Karen.

But here were two outstanding graduates from the Ariel Royal Academy, and their ranks were just right.

It would be a pity not to try.

He had already tried it with Princess Betty before, and he had almost seen all her moves.

Besides, this woman was clearly concealing some trump card.

Leonard had no intention of pushing her to a dead end.

And this Prince Salo was an even more suitable opponent.

If one really spoke of strength, this guy was a bit stronger than Betty, and he posed a greater threat of death to Leonard.

Also a Close-Combat Professional, those ancient Martial Skills on him were exactly what Leonard was extremely curious about.

But for that very reason, he felt it would be a real pity not to fight a match.

Moreover, Leonard had his eyes set on acquiring his Profession Card, “Three-Headed Golem*Holy Dragon Iron Guards.”

…

As soon as he spoke, the expressions of the five from the Southern Continent varied.

They had thought Leonard would propose a “duel” as a last-ditch effort to cling to life.

After all, duels were also very prevalent within the Noble Class of the Empire.

Once agreed upon, they must be honored.

However, none of them expected that Leonard would make absolutely no mention of granting him any mercy in his conditions.

What in the world did this guy want to do?

Salo had never encountered such brazen provocation before and felt an offended rage, coldly saying, “Heh… Do you really hold such confidence you can win against me?”

Although he did not witness the fight between Leonard and Betty personally, he could guess that anyone who survived against Betty, this session’s number one Element Manipulator from the Royal Academy, must be no ordinary individual.

But he was equally confident that he could, by no means, lose!

“No, no, no… If we exclude external factors, I don’t have absolute confidence that I can beat you…”

Leonard saw in the other’s eyes that same confidence in his strength, and he could barely suppress certain thoughts in his heart.

The corners of his mouth raised in an exaggerated smirk, and he added, “So let’s add a condition… The duel will be based solely on our own abilities, without relying on any external means. How about that?”

He did not doubt that a prince would carry some treasures on his person.

But Leonard had his own as well.

Bringing out the Angel’s Soul would make it meaningless.

If it came to allies, he had them too.

“Rely solely on our own strength?”

Upon hearing this, Salo actually harbored a Killing Intention.

From where did this man derive the confidence to defeat a Pure-blooded Dragon Descendant with his mere body?

The last of Salo’s reservations vanished.

He had thought his opponent would use some means like the contents of the coffin or maybe some special Relic.

But now it seemed the man simply wanted a death bout?

Of course, he wasn’t afraid and was interested in clashing with such an adversary.

And he certainly did not believe he would lose!

Salo was about to say something when suddenly Old Karen, who had sensed his student’s intent, abruptly spoke to interrupt, “Heh, just a nameless nobody, what makes you think you have the right to say such a thing to His Highness?”

As a Seventh-Tier Spellcaster, his perception was even more acute.

Intuition told him that there had to be a plot.

Old Karen couldn’t understand where the danger lay.

But he absolutely didn’t want his prince to engage in a life-and-death duel.

Even if it meant losing face as a High-Order Card Master, he was ready to strike first and resolve this problem!

Besides, for a Necromancer, getting certain answers did not necessarily require a living person.

This sudden interruption was in fact a cover for the slight pulsation of Death Air he was concentrating on his Curse Cards.

As the Sorcery Cards dispersed from his sleeve, Old Karen’s eyes were filled with a fierce chill, “Curse*Separation of Soul!”

In an instant, three Crimson-tinged Evil Spirits appeared above Leonard and his companions’ heads.
