Chapter 1148: Chapter 352: Kill the Painter to Get the Painting_2 Chapter 1148: Chapter 352: Kill the Painter to Get the Painting_2 As long as Seven Brown could free up his hands, things would become interesting.

And this was beneath Sinless City.

The longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it became for Domingo.

So, dragging things out was Leonard Churchill’s goal.

Eventually, enemies always revealed their flaws.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“…”

Leonard kept frequently provoking and attacking around Domingo, but the opponent wasn’t without counterattacks.

Poison smoke, flying needles, strangling ropes, mechanic blades, spells of various elements…

Six wooden puppets with creaking jaws deployed every trick in the book.

Taking into account Domingo and that painter Pablo, Leonard was now facing eight enemies at once, each moment fraught with danger.

But as long as he didn’t drop dead on the spot, he could immediately heal and recover.

That same phrase applied here: now that he had seen his opponents’ methods once, they could hardly push him into a dead-end.

The six puppets Domingo was currently controlling were the infamous Dark Gold “Walnut Six.”

Although not many people had actually seen them alive, Leonard unfortunately had seen them twice.

He remembered firmly the attack methods and abilities of the puppets.

Moreover, the abilities of puppets were “fixed,” which made them even easier to predict.

Furthermore, with the deduction from “I Am the World,” no matter what moves the puppets made, nothing would catch him by surprise.

The most crucial point was that puppets had a very noticeable flaw.

That was “skill casting delay.”

Puppet Masters needed to control the puppets’ joints through physical strings or mental strings before making them act.

It was like needing to pull the trigger with a finger to fire a gun.

This control model with noticeable intervals was a fatal shortcoming in the realms of High-Order Card Masters.

A skill with too long of a “casting delay” was very easy to predict.

The reason Domingo was invincible was because his Professional Sequence allowed him to control a large number of puppets simultaneously.

The collaboration of several puppets compensated for this shortcoming through their sheer numbers.

Under normal circumstances, Domingo could control hundreds of puppets at the same time, giving him the strength to face an army.

Unfortunately, there were only six now.

For Leonard, those six were completely within his mental capacity to calculate.

With his current speed and having predicted the puppets’ skill casting movements, avoiding them was incredibly easy.

As long as he didn’t make any mistakes himself, there was no way he would be hit.

It was also because Domingo was a Puppet Master, whose own abilities weren’t exceptionally strong, that Leonard dared to try.

Otherwise, if it were any of the other three knights below the king, upon first sight, he would’ve definitely chosen to flee.

However, speaking of that, if the other three had encountered Seven Brown’s Hunting God Armor, they wouldn’t have been able to hold him in place either.

This was the restraint between professions.

…

The battle thus entered a standstill.

Domingo also realized that his six puppets couldn’t do absolutely anything against the opponent.

Although some of his methods managed to hurt the opponent, as long as he didn’t kill him on the spot, the opponent could immediately heal and recover.

And what was most outrageous was, once a method had been used, using it a second time would be completely ineffective.

At this moment, Domingo also understood the frustration from the painter Pablo.

Facing such an opponent who could heal infinitely, with absolutely no flaws or weak points… unless crushed outright, there was no chance at all.

Domingo could see that his opponent was almost insanely obsessed with the fact that he could fight against him, a legend… as if to challenge him was something exhilarating, as though even in death, there would be no regrets.

If this were anywhere else, Domingo definitely wouldn’t let such a promising enemy leave alive.

But at this moment, he felt a bit helpless.

…

Domingo wasn’t wrong in his feeling.

On the other side, Leonard had fallen into a state where his blood surged with excitement.

Facing a Legendary Card Master made his mind and body enter an overloaded condition.

Yet, this very state made his thoughts incredibly clear.

During his previous fight against that four-man assassin squad, only two moments brought the tingling excitement to his scalp.

But in front of Domingo, Leonard was constantly on edge, as if walking on a knife’s edge, a step from life to death at any moment.

With the boost from the Demonic Solution state, he could see the world with extreme clarity.

Every movement of the enemy was as if retaped and copied into his mind.

Domains, laws, techniques, spells…

Leonard’s mind at this moment was like a sponge absorbing water, rapidly soaking up knowledge he had not yet mastered.

The fight acted like the best catalyst, turning this learning efficiency into enlightenment.

He understood quite a bit just by watching.

Enlightenment flickered rapidly.

“You comprehend the Mystery of ‘Trick Mystery * Ten Finger Puppet Control’ in combat, skill experience +29…”

“You observe the ‘Walnut Six * Dark Combine Strike Technique’ in combat, puppet controlling proficiency +33…”

“You comprehend the Secret of ‘Domain * Puppet Theater’ in combat, domain understanding +8…”

“You have a sudden insight during combat, capturing some of the Secrets of the ‘Thousand Mechanism Puppet God Sect’…”

“…”

Leonard wanted to confront Domingo head-on not just for the challenge.

The most important reason was that he was very curious about how this guy could simultaneously control so many puppets!

The secrets of the [Trickster] Professional Sequence were hidden in every movement of those group-controlling puppets.

Finally, Leonard spotted the key point, thinking: “Tsk tsk… The Trickster Sequence is not only an excellent choice in abilities but also in professional techniques…”

He suddenly felt that the Trickster Sequence was a very fitting choice for his Sixth Tier professional options.
