Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1227 - Chapter 1227 Chapter 378 Black Blade Squad_2

Chapter 1227: Chapter 378 Black Blade Squad_2 Chapter 1227: Chapter 378 Black Blade Squad_2 But since there wasn’t much danger in the first place, he remained quite indifferent.

His body shook slightly, a belated reflexive response to the assassination attempt.

The “ferryman” on the other side seemed somewhat panicked.

A cold sneer in the darkness made him instantly realize that this might be an assassination trap targeting him!

Thinking of this, a card that the ferryman had prepared for a long time suddenly appeared in his hand and activated.

As the card disintegrated, a Hexagram Array appeared out of thin air.

A massive wooden chest materialized on the little boat, looking to envelop both individuals and the boat in one go.

Leonard Churchill’s eyes lit up as he watched, “Trick Mystery… Trass’s Magic Box?”

He had read about this spell of the Trickster Sequence in some classic books.

It was said to be true trickery capable of manipulating space!

Leonard had already touched the threshold of the Space Law and vaguely understood the mechanics of the spell.

It was somewhat like a Teleportation Array; if caught by the Magic Box, he might really be shifted to another pre-set coordinate.

It seemed the “ferryman” had been planning this all along.

However, unfortunately…

It was his first encounter, and Leonard had no idea who was controlling the ferryman or what methods he might have.

But as an assassin of the Black Blade Squad, which belonged to the Orlan Royal Court’s special service group, tracking a target was all too familiar.

Watching the Magic Box appear, the figure in the dark was already prepared, sneering, “Heh, trying to leave? It’s not that easy!”

Before the Magic Box could completely cover the boat, a green ghostly fire burst forth with a “whoosh,” utterly consuming the box in an instant.

At the same time, someone barked out, “Seal off this body of water! The guy’s real body is nearby!”

No sooner had these words been spoken than the water elements in the Dark River eerily coalesced into a barrier.

In a moment, the flowing river water turned into a stagnant pool.

Leonard glanced over and murmured, “Water Prison Barrier?”

They were indeed assassins trained by the same organization.

Their tactical methods were all interlinked.

Though it wasn’t a Disaster Object like [Monet’s Sunrise] that involved the Space Law, Leonard estimated it was a rare, High Tier Relic.

“At least three assassins… a Fourth Tier [assassin]? The one using toxins should be [Heart 3-Magic Potion Apprentice], and there’s a Fifth Tier who manipulates water elements, most likely an [Element Manipulator]… Eh, didn’t the Black Tooth Granny from the Black Market come? She’s really strong.”

In just the instant of contact, Leonard had already seen through the assassins’ methods.

But from what he had observed so far, these fellows were using the secret arts of the Orlan Royal Family and were quite powerful.

This group would normally be overkill for taking down a Fifth Tier.

…

The three ambushers in the dark unexpectedly discovered the big fish “Lenny” and immediately redirected their firepower toward him.

They probably figured that the fat sheep was already trapped, and that there would be no harm in dealing with him later.

Apart from the increasingly potent toxins, Leonard didn’t feel any intent directed at himself.

On the other hand, a sudden “thud” under the water exploded into mist.

Leonard watched as a figure clad in a sharkskin cloak was forced out of the water.

At the same time, the river water ignited into a sea of flames.

“This guy has a high understanding of Elemental Laws…”

Seeing the spell that made the water burn, Leonard immediately recognized it as a long-lost secret skill [Reversal Spell*Water Burning Mystery] he had only read about in classic books.

It resembled the disassociation of hydrogen and oxygen in water, achieving an elemental transformation that caused the water to burn.

The moment Lenny emerged, the poison dagger of the Blade Dancer struck.

A dark red short sword created phantoms in the mist, with countless shadow blades tightly besieging Lenny, leaving him no space to escape.

That kind of skill with a short sword was not that of an ordinary assassin. Leonard had finally confirmed the person’s Professional Sequence and thought, “So it’s not [assassin], but a [Diamond A-Samurai] from the Blade Dancer Sequence…”

Weapon specialization sequences could push the prowess of weapons to their limits.

However, weirdly enough, despite seemingly being hit, no blood was spilled.

Instead, sparks flew, and a “clang, clang, clang…” metallic clash could be heard.

Upon closer inspection, Leonard noticed that part of Lenny’s body was made of metal, and his eyes brightened, “Huh, Mechanical Prosthesis?”

It was not the external mechanical arm seen in the outside world.

It was a Mechanical Prosthesis!

Before he could see what happened next, Lenny pulled out two cards that exploded with a bang, and suddenly, ten grinning Puppets appeared by his side.

Seeing this, Leonard’s pupils shrank slightly, and he finally confirmed something, “Indeed, he’s from the Trickster Sequence. What exactly is this guy’s relationship with Domingo?”

There were indeed some Puppet Masters in the East Wilderness.

But Lenny’s manipulation of the Puppets was uncannily similar to that of “Puppeteer” Domingo.

There must be some connection between the two!

…

Initially, Lenny was at a numerical disadvantage alone.

But the moment the Puppets appeared, spraying water, shooting fire, emitting poison gas, and triggering machinery…

He instantly reversed the disadvantage.

On closer examination, Lenny’s actual body had more than one Mechanical Prosthesis.

Now and then, this guy would extend mechanical arms from beneath his cloak, one moment wielding shields, the next swords, or shooting out a barrage of mini-missiles.

He wasn’t a traditional Trickster, but one proficient in Mechanical Technology!

Leonard found this all quite refreshing and intriguing, musing, “Quite interesting… This guy has turned his own body into a mechanical Puppet?”
