Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1666 - Chapter 1666 506

Chapter 1666: 506 Chapter 1666: 506 Leonard Churchill never expected to see the Spirit Summoning Mark of the Garcia Family on the body of the Nether Peacock.

And the peacock, now transformed into a human figure, also didn’t expect the humans who almost killed it earlier to present a Spirit Summoning Mark that its bloodline instinctively recognized.

But its ancestors had signed the contract with humans so long ago that it had no memory of it.

However, this was an ancient bloodline protection contract; as long as both parties continued their bloodlines, the contract would exist forever.

And as the contract mark on the scroll became visible, the hidden memories within its bloodline inheritance slowly began to awaken.

The scroll was given by Tracy Garcia, and it contained the Garcia Family’s Divine Glyphs and spirit marks.

This was essentially an identity token, at least something a Spirit Object would be able to clearly recognize the origin of the Divine Glyphs on the scroll.

Leonard Churchill noticed the increasingly bright petal mark on the forehead of the Nether Peacock, as well as the confused and hesitant look in its eyes. He knew that the other party had truly recognized the Garcia Family’s Divine Glyphs and their blood had responded.

This…

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Just moments ago, they were fighting for their lives, and now they couldn’t bring themselves to continue.

Since Leonard deduced the peacock’s origin, of course, he wouldn’t kill Tracy’s Spirit Object just for some materials.

And since they didn’t make a move, the Nether Peacock also fell into doubt.

Although it harbored no fondness for the humans who had tried to kill it, the call within its bloodline also instantly dampened its unyielding hatred.

Sophia Jones and Madam Mister, watching from the side, also seemed to understand something.

They gave Leonard an odd look, feeling like the coincidence was a bit too much.

There was no point in this standoff, so Leonard, after some thought, took out a Curse Card called “Beast Speaking Spell” and activated it.

This was a Spell used by Beast Tamers to communicate with Demon Beasts; the higher the Demon Beast’s spiritual intelligence, the easier it was to communicate.

Leonard conveyed his thoughts using Mental Power: “This may be a misunderstanding. Well… how should I address you? You have the Garcia Family’s Spirit Summoning Mark on your forehead? I have a good friend who is a descendant of the Garcia Family…”

He tried to explain, to see if it was possible to clear up the misunderstanding.

To his thinking, if they could communicate, it would be a huge benefit.

Although he was about to lose a top-tier material, with a Beast Lord around, was there still a worry about not finding materials in the Death Domain?

It wasn’t clear whether the peacock understood, as its expression became complicated and hesitant.

The resentment from nearly being killed was not something that could be so quickly forgotten; yet, with the memories from its bloodline rekindling, it recognized what the spirit mark represented.

At this moment, a ripple spread through the air as if out of nowhere. The Nether Peacock, without a chance to hesitate further, was suddenly startled, as if it had just remembered it had set a trap to kill those humans.

Leonard immediately understood what the peacock’s eye contact meant: Some kind of powerful creature was coming!

Sophia Jones and Madam Mister sensed the anomaly and were on high alert immediately.

But alert as they were, the three of them didn’t really perceive too much of a problem; since this was the nest of the Hell Human-faced Demon Spider, any troublesome creature that could be present was likely to be the Demon Spider Lord.

Whether it was Seventh Rank or Eighth Rank, the three standing together would likely not have much trouble.

However, the reality was more dangerous than anticipated.

Leonard was about to say something when he saw the exquisitely beautiful face of the Nether Peacock struggle for a moment, and then… it disappeared into thin air!

…

“Disappeared?”

Leonard looked at the situation; the person was indeed gone.

But he didn’t sense any spatial fluctuations or magical power related to an Invisibility Technique, and the Nether Peacock didn’t know how to turn invisible!

“What’s going on?”

Even Leonard couldn’t understand why the peacock suddenly vanished.

He turned to look at Sophia Jones and Madam Mister beside him, and they were just as clueless.

In a blink, the three of them were staring at the web-filled cavern.

Their expressions grew more and more serious, as if some terrifying presence was about to emerge from the darkness.

As if thinking had made it so, a horrifying aura swept across the entire space in an instant.

Although the creature in the dark had not yet appeared, its alarming pressure made all three feel a suffocating sensation.

Leonard, with eyes wide open, said: “God Tier? It can’t be that unlucky…”

He felt that terrifying pressure, and it was akin to the soul summoned by the Heavenly Dragon Saint earlier, making even his Divine Power shudder.

He turned to look at Sophia Jones and Madam Mister, and they, too, were equally shocked.

They hadn’t expected that within the lair of a Hell Demon Spider, there would be such a terrifying existence.

As their situation rapidly turned dire, the three were forced into a corner.

If they faced such an entity, there would be no chance of escape.

Leonard was completely unaware of the logical gaps in the environment around him, failing to notice them.

After exchanging glances with the two women, the three were ready to fight to the death.

However, the moment they were about to act, a “spinning rune” appeared in front of Leonard, strangely.

“What’s this now?”

Leonard stared at the spinning top for a moment, but the runes on it invaded his mind.

In the next moment, his consciousness reflexively filled with complete logic, and he immediately understood: I’m under an Illusion Technique!

The spinning top was an ability obtained at Level 3 of the “I Am the World” Realm, and was the physical manifestation of the Spell “Anchor of Consciousness” in the sea of knowledge.

Leonard had been subject to many Illusion Techniques before, so he had always been prepared for such defenses.
