Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1056 - Chapter 1056 325

Chapter 1056: 325 Chapter 1056: 325 The people from the Southern Continent still hadn’t figured out what exactly was going on with the current situation.

How had it suddenly changed from a massive labyrinth escape to a one-on-one duel?

Even Prince Salo himself didn’t fully understand why the guy opposite him was so intent on dueling with him.

But a profound light emerged in the sharp eyes of Princess Betty, who wasn’t far behind him, as if she had grasped something, and she murmured to herself, “Does this guy want to use Salo to hone his martial skills? What a troublesome fellow…”

She had previously fought Leonard Churchill and deeply experienced how tricky this enemy was.

Despite being an entire great tier below her, they had fought to a standstill.

Even within the Imperial Royal Academy, where geniuses abound, she had never encountered such a tenacious opponent.

Several times during the fight it looked like he was about to be killed, but from start to finish, she never saw any emotion of fear, cowardice, or retreat on his face.

There was only excitement, fierceness, and a fighting intent that bordered on hysteria.

Betty couldn’t understand how a fourth-tier card master could possibly be so outrageously strong.

And it wasn’t just his strength that was outrageous.

What lingered in Betty’s mind was his terrifying ability to learn and copy.

Any spell she used would, after a single use, be deeply understood by him, and he would not fall for it again.

It was this astonishing combat comprehension that she found to be the most difficult to deal with.

The stronger he fought, the more formidable he became.

So, from the beginning, she knew that this fellow wasn’t looking for Salo out of any scheme, but purely wanted to fight.

To improve himself.

Even at the risk of death.

Such a madman.

With this thought, a trace of solemnity appeared on Betty’s indifferent face.

Although she didn’t think that Salo, who was even stronger than herself, would lose, she couldn’t shake the feeling that the opponent wouldn’t be defeated.

….

Tracy Garcia and Leonard Churchill were very close friends.

Ever since the time he killed Saul Miller, the Governor of Sinless City, she knew what kind of person Leonard Churchill was.

So upon hearing about the duel, the bun-haired miss had no intention of dissuading him.

Moreover, she didn’t think Leonard Churchill would lose.

Since the rule set was a fair duel without the use of external objects, there naturally needed to be a limitation.

Tracy Garcia glanced at Leonard Churchill and proposed, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, how about I set up a duel field for you?”

Leonard Churchill gave a toothy smile, “Sure.”

Hearing the response, Tracy Garcia didn’t waste time. She summoned a secret method scroll with a wave of her hand and tore it open, finding a certain curse. With a gentle smack, she invoked, “Poker Round*Duel Field!”

In an instant, a blue barrier appeared on the spot.

Realizing something, Tracy Garcia softly chanted, “This place is for fair competition, all external objects are forbidden.”

As if setting a certain rule, an enlightening line of duel rules appeared on the blue light barrier.

Leonard Churchill, observing Bun-Haired Miss orchestrate this move, was rather surprised.

He was familiar with this spell.

“Poker Round” was a rule-based barrier spell.

Back when they had planned to kill the Queen of Orlan in Lion City, Mushroomhead had used a Poker Round called “Snow White.”

Such a spell required extremely high law understanding, usually beyond the grasp of even legendary warriors.

Leonard Churchill hadn’t expected Bun-Haired Miss to be able to use such an advanced spell already.

The onlookers from the Southern Continent also wore expressions of gravity.

Even Old Karen, upon seeing Tracy Garcia’s move, looked on with a very solemn gaze.

Glancing at the large scroll, it seemed to be some kind of fixed spell. Nevertheless, being able to use it signified an incredibly strong adversary.

…

A Poker Round was not uncommon for a high-order card master, and being royalty, one would naturally have seen quite a few.

Salo watched Leonard Churchill step in and, after glancing at the barrier, walked in without hesitation.

As the rules specified, within this “Duel Field,” apart from some cards that matched one’s own realm, external objects were prohibited.

Nobody outside could interfere until the outcome was decided.

Unless their methods could break the rules of the duel field.

Salo had never before been challenged to a duel by a card master a full great rank below himself.

If he dared to accept, it meant he had the corresponding strength.

The pride of being a royal and a pure-blooded dragon descendant made it hard for him to conceal his anger. Looking at his opponent, he sneered, “Do you think that with this Poker Round, you’re qualified to fight me?”

Would a dragon descendant, even relying solely on the body, fear a human?

Absurd wishful thinking!

He even felt that the enemy in front of him had cut off his own only path of survival.

Leonard Churchill, seeing the opponent’s disdainful attitude, didn’t mind at all.

Throughout these days, he had already noticed that these dragon descendants, much like great dragons, had an inherent arrogance towards pure-blooded humans, as if high-level beings were looking down on lower creatures.

The purer the blood, the stronger this sense of life-level superiority.

“Of course not.”

Leonard Churchill lifted the corner of his mouth to form a slight curve, shrugged his shoulders and said, “The odds are eighty-twenty in favor of a win. Yours are eight, mine are two.”

“Hmph.”

Prince Salo let out a cold snort upon hearing this, initially wanting to acknowledge that his opponent knew his place, but then thought better of it.

This was a fight to the death.

The guy in front of him knew how low his odds were, and yet he dared to make such a request?

“But…”

However, unexpectedly, Leonard Churchill shifted his tone.

There was no fear on his face, and the thick fighting intent in his eyes was spilling over as he grinned, showing off his white teeth, “If after a quarter of an hour, you haven’t been able to kill me… the odds are fifty-fifty.”

“…”

At these words, Prince Salo’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.
