Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1230 - Chapter 1230 Chapter 379 Kill Four With One

Chapter 1230: Chapter 379: Kill Four With One Chapter 1230: Chapter 379: Kill Four With One Leonard Churchill had previously studied this niche direction of curse magic development, but soon realized it wasn’t suitable for him.

Entering the world of curse magic wasn’t difficult, but to master it often required a tragic fate.

Ordinarily, such a life pattern would torment someone like a curse for their entire life.

What was most important was this: curse magic was a dark spell that derived power from corruption and evil, its essence being “to inflict the darkness and malice one has suffered onto others.”

Card masters who delved deeper into curse magic tended to become more twisted and dark, and their own experiences more tragic.

The curse magic displayed by the Black Tooth Granny was particularly clever.

Even when Leonard Churchill faced her, he felt a fatal threat that made his scalp tingle.

This was also the reason he hadn’t pursued the other Black Blade assassins earlier but had wanted to take care of this one first!

Watching Leonard Churchill charge towards her, Black Tooth Granny immediately realized she was no match for him.

A ruthless look flashed in her eyes, and as the tattoo on her face glowed with curse script, she flipped out a card with a black eyeball pattern, scoffing in her heart, “Hmph! Courting death!”

Curse magic’s main draws were its “unorthodox nature” and “unpredictability.”

Although spellcasters of curse magic were physically weak, true high-tier practitioners didn’t fear close combat. The closer the distance, the greater the power of the curse magic.

Facing the incoming fist, Black Tooth Granny showed no fear as curse power like black fire surged around her, the card in her hand ready to be activated.

However, in the next instant, something bizarre happened!

Black Tooth Granny suddenly felt a void between her fingers, the curse power losing its vessel.

A quick glance downward revealed that the sorcery card in her hand had disappeared!

“What’s going on?”

She widened her eyes in confusion when a “thud” landed a punch right on her eye socket.

With a “pop,” her head exploded into a stinking mess of mud.

Leonard Churchill’s Gang Air protected him from the filthy blood, and glancing at the sorcery card in his hand, he thought, “Resentful Ghost’s Gazing Eye? A legendary card, huh… quite generous.”

It was clear this card was a last resort to save her life.

The value of this sorcery card alone exceeded that of many relics.

If he had been stricken, Leonard Churchill might not have died on the spot, but he would likely have needed to spend many years of his life to recover.

At the same time, Leonard Churchill grew more fond of the new secret skill he had learned.

The reason Black Tooth Granny’s curse card was in his hands was that he had just used [Space Larceny] to steal the card directly through the air.

This skill, a thief’s ability to manipulate Space Law that he had won while gambling with the Immortal Aegis Animals on the Underworld Train, was now being put to a different use.

Experience proved that using this move to steal an opponent’s card in battle was incredibly effective.

Not only could it disrupt the opponent’s spellcasting, but that moment of confusion also allowed for a forced mental domination.

The initial battle proved successful.

…

Lenny and the other three Black Blade assassins watching from a distance were stunned.

The pace of the battle was too fast for them to understand what was happening; they could only watch in horror as Leonard Churchill had already killed Black Tooth Granny twice in a flash.

However, it had to be said that the vitality of a curse magician was strangely strong.

Just when Leonard Churchill thought he had killed her, his brow furrowed as he suddenly felt his scalp itch–something seemed to be emerging.

A sidelong glance revealed a poisonous mushroom with red spots and white dots sprouting from his head!

Seeing this, Leonard Churchill understood, and tipping his head to look above, he thought, “Eh? Spores parasitizing in the Gang Air? Goodness, these guys do have some really shady tactics…”

Unsurprisingly, this was the doing of a Magic Pharmacist hiding in the dark and releasing poison.

Leonard Churchill distinctly sensed that the mushroom was not only poisonous but also rapidly absorbing both his curse power and life force.

Too bad, with the strength of the “Curse of Immortality” and “Gluttony” from the Demon God Secret Skill, there was no way he would be drained dry quickly.

But the real trouble was, Black Tooth Granny wasn’t dead yet.

The moment her corpse’s head exploded, a Spirit Communication Array suddenly lit up in the distant darkness, and a toad reappeared.

Seeing this, Leonard Churchill immediately understood, “So, it’s using summoned creatures to transfer some of the damage, huh…”

He couldn’t help but admit, the methods of the Black Blade Organization’s assassins were much more formidable than those of regular card masters.

After all, they were elites secretly trained by the Orlan Royal Family, and many of the spells they used were rare secret skills not seen in the marketplace.

The toad opened its mouth, and a slime-covered granny crawled out.

Though her aura was greatly weakened, she was indeed alive.

She looked at Leonard Churchill, laughing strangely while clutching her throat like a duck, “Do you think that’s enough to kill me?”

Having learned her lesson from dying once, she cast her curse magic while talking.

Leonard Churchill was also helpless.

He didn’t see how she cast her curse magic, only feeling a chill on his back and visibly seeing a streak of black energy linking his head to the old woman.

He had seen such sinister curses in classic books before and murmured, “Karma Curse… Fallen One’s Resonance?”

Another disgustingly but rare “forbidden technique” level spell.

This wasn’t an offensive spell.

It was a last-resort protective measure for a curse series card master.

Leonard Churchill had a vivid memory because this curse was exceedingly difficult to cultivate.

The classic books mentioned that cultivating this curse required sacrificing souls that had been killed by one’s own hands and were filled with hatred from torture; the practitioner also suffered torment from evil spirits;

The more sacrifices made, the higher the tier of the targets that could resonate.
