Chapter 1823: Chapter 553: 9th-tier Strikes! Moon God Panics...

Leonard Churchill’s body surface radiated the dark golden luster of the "Supreme Tyrant Body," as the Gang Air, like black flames, covered his entire body, forming a thick protective field.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers finally realized that he really intended to go head-to-head.

Elsa and Jolin, two elders of the Herlands Family, watched this scene with both anticipation and unease.

This plan was what they had discussed earlier.

That piece of [Elemental Rune Stone] was the final trump card that Jolin had personally given to Ray.

This was the only method they could think of that had a chance of forcing an Eighth Order Card Master to use means beyond the Sixth Tier.

Although the plan was somewhat unscrupulous, taking advantage of the Herlands Family’s inherited treasure.

But for the future of the family, they had no other choice.

And the only one present who was truly worried about Leonard Churchill was probably his friend Lenny.

He watched Leonard Churchill preparing for a direct confrontation, his expression failing to hide his concern.

He couldn’t understand why an Eighth Rank would need to risk everything against a Sixth Tier.

Couldn’t it really be just to win or lose this fight, betting their life?

But as he thought about it, it suddenly seemed reasonable.

The brain often tries to explain confusion with past experiences.

Everyone present knew about Leonard Churchill from the arrest warrant issued by the Bounty Guild.

And the warrant described one significant trait: suspected mental deformation.

This was from the time Leonard Churchill attacked and killed a minor governor of the Miller Family in Sinless City, leaving a lasting impression of madness on the world.

Now, it seemed like this was the only explanation.

Not just Lenny, everyone thought the same.

Perhaps it was the arrogance of geniuses clashing?

....

On the other side, Ray, holding the supreme treasure, looked at Leonard Churchill who was preparing for a direct confrontation, a fierce look appeared on his face.

The boy had no more traces of contempt in his heart, only a determined resolve that tied his life and the honor of their Forbidden Curse Master family to victory!

It was at this moment that he truly understood why Leonard Churchill had said that seemingly arrogant remark during their earlier exchange.

"Have you ever thought that what you consider talent might be just barely passable in the eyes of some people...?"

At the time, Ray thought that Leonard Churchill was mocking him with another purpose.

Now he understood it wasn’t.

Leonard Churchill really had the right to say such words.

The earlier spell replication had completely shattered the pride of this Herlands Family’s genius Forbidden Curse Master.

Ray now clearly understood that his Thunder Series talent was just barely enough to qualify him to compete with Leonard Churchill.

"Good! Since you won’t evade, then try my final move!"

Ray roared in his heart, and curse power flowed continuously into the Thunder Ball in his hand.

The reason this [Thunder Order Storm] was classified as a forbidden curse was not only due to its immense power and stringent casting conditions; but the self-rebounding law of the spell also imposed a great burden on the card master’s body.

This spell, surpassing his tier, was akin to plunging a body adapted to warm water into boiling water.

For Ray, still at the Sixth Tier, it was like falling into a magma pool, teetering on the edge of bodily collapse.

Thunder gathered, and the surrounding air seemed to be burning, yet Ray showed no signs of retreat, the curse power still madly surging.

This scene made the high-ranking members of the Herlands Family, who were watching, worry immensely.

A single mistake and those thunders would not only fail to harm the enemy but might destroy Ray himself.

In the brief span of one or two breaths, it felt like an eternity to the onlookers.

The thunders gathered into a storm, forming eight terrifying Thunder Snake storms around Ray’s body, as if looking down on the thunder.

Even Leonard Churchill saw this and appeared somewhat helpless, muttering to himself: "This guy really is betting his life..."

He could clearly see the boy’s resolve to kill, the spell released had already pushed himself to the brink of death.

With the terrifying energy released by this forbidden curse, even a Seventh Tier would need to avoid the edge.

However, Leonard Churchill noticed some flaws.

If he were really just a Sixth Tier, there might be a chance of mutual destruction.

But if he did that, this genius boy from the Herlands Family might survive but would be crippled for the future.

Leonard Churchill had no intention of doing that.

As he condensed the Gang Air, the sky was already filled with purple lightning, obscuring his figure from view.

No one saw him pull out a colorful Clown Card and chant softly: "Poker Round·White Dove of Harmony."

The rules silently changed; this spell was cast on himself.

The rule changed to [Healing].

This allowed him to always maintain a draw state in specific duel rules.

This reversal of rules, Ray at the Sixth Tier had no way to see through, making Leonard Churchill effectively immortal.

...

"Swish~"

"Swish~"

"..."

Thunder rained down like a storm.

Leonard Churchill was already engulfed in the sea of thunder.

He clearly sensed the countless Thunder Snakes like sharp knives, bit by bit dissolving the protective Gang Air on his body.

After only a moment, thousands of Thunder Snakes broke through the Gang Air, striking his dragon scale-covered dark golden body.

Accompanied by a destructive sound like a torrent washing over solid rock, Leonard Churchill fell into a state of excruciating pain.

In the thundering light, if anyone could see his expression, they would find that despite the grimace, there was an unquenchable brilliance in his eyes.

The spectators outside the duel field held their breath, not daring to take a single breath.
