Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1269 - Chapter 1269 Chapter 390 Primal Rune Stone of Space_3

Chapter 1269: Chapter 390: Primal Rune Stone of Space_3 Chapter 1269: Chapter 390: Primal Rune Stone of Space_3 It was just delaying the inevitable.

However, upon seeing the syringe that Leonard Churchill took out, she had a bad feeling.

Ivan’s existence in the Holy Church was top secret; even she, as a Great Deacon, only knew it was an extremely dangerous “forbidden item” and did not understand what this little girl meant.

Previously, according to the methods entrusted by the senior members of the Church, they had contained it, but unexpectedly, two targets had escaped.

She still couldn’t understand what exactly had happened, but that bad feeling was increasingly unsettling her.

Thinking of this, the woman in white bit her teeth and spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the card in her hand, pointing forward, “Arcanum: Serpent of Void Destiny!”

The card shot out, and the spell formed instantly.

Leonard Churchill, of course, saw the other’s action; this blood-activated spell must be something that consumes lifespan or something similarly costly.

He did not dare underestimate it, but spatial spells were not something he could avoid simply by wishing to.

The moment the card collapsed, Leonard Churchill saw a space rift resembling a python appear in front of him.

Unable to dodge in time, he quickly took out his great sword to block, while stepping on the air to change direction for his escape.

Strangely, the rift seemed alive like a python, shooting out like lightning.

“A locking spell?”

Leonard Churchill watched the space serpent coming after him and sensed trouble.

Such locking spells typically consumed one’s own fortune, a cost in some ways greater than lifespan, no wonder the enemy had not used it before.

However, this was trouble for Leonard Churchill.

Knowing he couldn’t dodge, he could only block with his great sword.

With a “clang,” it seemed something had hit the great sword.

But before Leonard Churchill could breathe a sigh of relief, in his field of vision, he suddenly saw the void python flick its tail, its tail whipping like a lash past the great sword, slicing toward him.

If this strike hit, he feared he would be severed in half.

Instinctively, Leonard Churchill shifted his position a bit so that the chest area faced the snake’s tail head-on.

“Pop!”

The tail whipped onto Ivan’s body, making a slight sound.

Normally, this Arcanum spell would not easily dissipate unless it killed its target.

However, at that instant of contact, it strangely collapsed and disappeared as if the spatial energy could not be sustained.

Only then did Leonard Churchill clearly see that this little girl was indeed completely immune to spatial damage.

“She really does the job…”

Leonard Churchill inwardly muttered an apologetic remark, not expecting to use the girl as a shield.

But his eyes lit up with joy.

And coincidentally, the spatial energy seemed to be absorbed by the little girl. The girl, who had been dozing off with her eyes closed, suddenly shook her head.

Leonard Churchill was already familiar with it; this girl was waking up!

On the other side, the woman in the white robe’s expression changed: “How can this be?”

Her own destiny-enhanced spell had actually collapsed?

She didn’t know; ordinarily during containment, Ivan was likely to remain in a long-term dormant state, unawakening.

But during their time in the labyrinth, Leonard Churchill had continuously fed her a large amount of food, and Ivan’s condition was not as bad as those people from the Southern Continent had anticipated; her dormant state was not deep.

Just now, she had been injected with a few doses of nutrient solution, and she actually woke up!

…

Leonard Churchill watched as the woman hastily took out a stone, and he immediately guessed that this was the relic that had trapped them before.

But judging by the woman’s expression, the relic seemed now unusable.

Leonard Churchill didn’t care for anything else, he stretched out his hand and vigorously pinched the little girl’s buttocks.

The girl, who had just been dazed, suddenly became alert; she rubbed her buttocks and asked with a woeful voice, “Ah… who just pinched my butt?”

Leonard Churchill confidently responded, “Of course, it was the despicable enemy!”

Speaking of which, fearing the girl didn’t realize the urgency of the situation, he directly said, “If we don’t find a way, we might die.”

Hearing this, Ivan suddenly forgot the pain in her buttocks, turned her eyes and looked over: “Enemy?”

She naively repeated, without fully understanding the sentence, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, are you going to die?”

“…”

The woman in white watched with furrowed eyebrows.

The Holy See had only instructed her to contain this “forbidden item,” but now that the [Rune Stone] was uncharged, she didn’t know what to do.

But letting them escape was absolutely not an option.

In a split-second decision, the cards in her hand collapsed again, and a swath of destructive black threads covered Leonard Churchill and the girl.

Leonard Churchill, knowing he couldn’t avoid it, helplessly raised his black sword, hoping to minimize the hits.

“Puff, puff, puff…” Numerous black threads pierced through Leonard Churchill’s legs and arms, creating bloody holes, but fortunately, the great sword blocked most of the vital points.

Under ordinary circumstances, such injuries would be far less severe for Leonard Churchill.

However, the warm blood splashing onto Ivan made the girl pause for a moment, as if finally understanding what “death” meant.

As if something precious was about to be snatched away, tears suddenly welled up in her one good eye, and she tearfully looked at Leonard Churchill and suddenly burst into loud tears.

Leonard Churchill watched the girl bawling and was caught between laughter and tears.

He patted her on the back, but this was not the time to console the girl.

Leonard Churchill’s gaze was constantly on the woman in white, and what was worse, at that moment, the Thunder Dragon strongman had also caught up.

“Sigh.”

Leonard Churchill saw the pincer attack of the two and sighed to himself that this time, they were probably doomed to be caught.

But unexpectedly, lying on his chest and crying loudly, Ivan lifted her face, streaked with tears.

Leonard Churchill was stunned: “Is this…”
