Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1579 - Chapter 1579 Chapter 481 Sun Temple and Plague Fruit

Chapter 1579: Chapter 481: Sun Temple and Plague Fruit Chapter 1579: Chapter 481: Sun Temple and Plague Fruit The Great Sword Group’s members got ready and continued to walk towards the deep, damp grassland.

As they walked, a faint poison fog began to pervade the area, and the earth beneath their feet turned into a soft bog.

However, for a group of High-Order Card Masters, this wasn’t a big problem.

Assassins scattered to scout and set traps; Close Combat Card Masters guarded the front and rear of the team; and Sophia Jones, the team leader, stood at the very front.

Leonard Churchill and a few Magic Type and support card masters were in the middle of the team.

Everyone in the team was an elite from the Revolutionary Army, and even if the fog thickened, it wouldn’t affect the professionals’ ability to discern direction. The preemptively prepared toxic-resistant potions also helped them avoid the neurological paralysis brought about by inhaling too much of the poison…

All in all, they had made every preparation they could think of.

Within the team, Leonard Churchill also walked with composure.

In his calculations, their team was strong enough to bulldoze through Blackwater Swamp.

The expected held no worries.

The unexpected could only be dealt with upon encounter.

…

Dealing with poison, Bonnie, the Healer, was the key player.

She had just drunk several potions that enhanced her combat power and now her face was radiating a green glow.

Walking beside Leonard Churchill, she was pondering Sophia Jones’ earlier words, and ultimately her curiosity got the best of her, asking, “Leonard, what did the chief mean by what she just said? That you’re good in a fight?”

Leonard Churchill responded with a noncommittal smile, “Hmm… I’m alright.”

Bonnie blinked and asked, “What tier are you at now? I can’t sense your Curse Power at all.”

Leonard spoke truthfully, “Sixth Tier.”

He was an Air Skill Master, and “Control Air” was a unique ability of this Sequence.

Techniques that relied on Air Perception to gauge strength were completely useless against him, so it was normal that she couldn’t sense anything.

“Ah, you’re already at Sixth Tier?”

Bonnie’s eyes widened in surprise, “I remember when you were on the arrest warrant you were only First Tier, or was it Second Tier? How on earth did you manage to advance to Sixth Tier in such a short time?”

Though there were several Fifth and Sixth Tier card masters in their team, it was important to remember that they were all Revolutionary Army cadres, each one an elite talent picked from thousands.

Yet, even so, each one of them had grown through grueling training and fierce battles to reach where they were today.

Leonard Churchill casually replied, “Hmm. I’ve been lucky. The Demon Mark and Profession Cards I got are pretty good, so my progression was faster. Aunt Jones’ advice helped a lot too, making things smoother along the way.”

As he spoke these words, a deep look flashed in his eyes, as if reminiscing about his own path of advancement.

From when he first arrived in this world, encountering Camilla and acquiring [Mark*JOKER], to the various incidents in Sinless City, and then all the way to the present.

If one were to talk about advancement speed, he indeed was quicker than most.

But the process was anything but as easy as he had made it sound.

Every advancement nearly took place on the brink of death.

“Oh.”

Bonnie listened, and seemingly understood when she heard that Aunt Jones had been giving advice.

They, as Revolutionary Army cadres, were aware of Sophia Jones’ Realm, which had already reached the level of a true Demigod.

There was also the special nature of the White Family’s legacy.

Upon hearing this, the concerns of the other Revolutionary Army cadre who initially intended to protect Leonard Churchill began to dissipate.

The swamp gave them a dangerous feeling.

Thinking he was at Sixth Tier, at least he had the power to protect himself.

During the journey, Bonnie and Leonard Churchill had become quite familiar with each other.

As she was shocked by his tier, the Chief Nurse curiously asked, “Leonard, did you pursue the Scholar Sequence?”

She thought that if he was a Scholar, being more of a fragile profession, he’d still need significant protection.

After pondering for a moment, Leonard considered the Scholar more of a hobby than a combat Sequence, and corrected, “Generalist, I suppose.”

Hearing this strange term, Bonnie looked at him with a face full of question marks, asking, “What Sequence is a Generalist?”

Leonard responded, “A Sequence that knows a bit of everything.”

Bonnie felt like her brain wasn’t functioning well, “Isn’t that just a Scholar?”

Leonard thought it too troublesome to explain and simply said, “Hmm… pretty much.”

“…”

Bonnie thought he was joking with her and made a bizarre expression.

Leonard, seeing this, reminded her, “Bonnie, your face is too green, it’s likely ‘toxin overload.'”

At this statement, as if accustomed to the oddity, the teammates expertly maintained a safe distance from Bonnie.

The Plague Doctor’s combat methods were indiscriminate, a lack of control could end up poisoning teammates as well.

“Ah… I almost forgot my suppressant while talking to you.”

With this reminder, Bonnie regained her senses and put on a black leather plague mask, while a muffled voice came from within, “Leonard, you understand poisons too?”

Leonard replied, “Hmm… I’ve read some Classic Books about it, know a bit.”

“…”

Bonnie was used to the fact by now; the guy really did seem to know everything.

…

The surrounding poison fog had gotten very thick.

As they walked, Sophia Jones, leading the way, suddenly spoke up to caution everyone, “Be careful, everyone.”

Leonard Churchill stepped forward and saw that there were some rotten weapons and armors appearing in the swamp.

Judging by the degree of corrosion, they might’ve been there for hundreds of years.

That is to say, adventurers had come to this swamp before.

But they had all become nourishment for the swamp.

Moreover, it was likely they had entered the active territory of the Thornback Dragon Python, considering it could kill fully-armed mercenaries.

However, dangers filled the Magical Beast Forest, and the Great Sword Group’s members were mentally prepared.
