Chapter 1825: Chapter 553: 9th Tier Strikes! Moon God Panics..._3

She had already guessed it.

It turned out that the King did not fully trust the Herlands Family and had arranged for an internal spy to monitor the team.

Thinking of this, as the clan leader Elsa, the last glimmer in her eyes dimmed.

....

Although Lenny knew he was definitely no match for these people in front of him, he still took out all his mechanical puppets, showing a resolute stance of fighting to the death.

He charged at the ruins where Leonard Churchill had fallen, shouting anxiously: "Leonard, brother!"

Rushing over, he saw Leonard lying in the rubble, covered in blood.

His clothes were marked with scorch traces from lightning, but his skin had fully healed.

However, his injury came from the bloody, flesh-exposed wound at his chest, surrounded by faint silver threads.

At this moment, those silver threads were preventing the green healing light from closing the wound.

He still had one breath left!

Lenny anxiously yet thankfully looked at Leonard’s rising and falling chest.

Just as Lenny turned to scold the assailant, he saw Leonard suddenly reveal a card with a gray pattern on the back and a starry sky on the front.

Before Lenny could comprehend what was happening, [Divine Art: Starry Sky Banishment] had already been released.

At that moment, a beam of moonlight struck.

The seemingly gentle moonlight, however, sliced through the barrier formed by over a dozen mechanical puppets with ease, leaving smooth cuts.

As the moonlight passed, the incredibly durable alloy limbs were sliced effortlessly in half, leaving smooth edges.

Seeing his mechanical puppets instantly wiped out, Lenny was shocked to his core, realizing the terrifying means of the assailant.

Just as he had resigned himself to being cut in two and certain death, a miraculous reversal occurred.

Lenny watched the moonlight inch closer within a foot of him, yet as if the space tore open, the silver light vanished completely into the void.

"???"

Lenny was dumbfounded, abruptly awakening to realize it was Leonard who intervened!

But before he could think more, he heard a woman’s surprised voice from behind: "Huh..."

Normally, a sneak attack followed by moonlight magic would kill even the strongest Eighth Rank master.

However, the assailant didn’t expect the magic to be banished!

The woman across from him did not strike again, knowing she had no more chances.

....

"Leonard, brother!"

Seeing Leonard open his eyes and stand up, Lenny exclaimed joyfully.

Leonard nodded at him without much explanation.

He stood up, glancing at the unhealed wound, unable to suppress the grin at the corner of his mouth: "Tsk tsk... almost got killed there..."

This exhilarating feeling of escaping death had been long missed.

If not for using the [Colorful JOKER] Curse God Card to change the rules and sustain that last breath, he really would have died.

Even so, the divinity contamination of the wound forced him to use the [Black Demon] glove to suppress it.

At the same time, he guessed the identity of the assailant.

Someone who could severely injure him was no ordinary top-level card master.

Raising his eyes, Leonard looked at the woman in a black dress across from him and said leisurely: "Long time no see... Should I call you Princess Betty or Your Majesty, Moon Queen?"

The woman said nothing but as her face contorted, she transformed from a plain-looking woman to an extraordinarily beautiful maiden with a moonlight aura.

No one else but the chosen one of Moon God Arachne, the former princess of the Black Dragon Royal Family.

Now the Queen of Orlan.

....

Compared to Leonard’s composure, the people of the Herlands Family had complex and grim expressions upon seeing the Queen here.

Most of them did not understand why the dignified Queen would be here, but Elsa and some of the high-ranking members could guess.

The entire East Wilderness was now almost controlled by the Silver Moon Sect, and power had reached its zenith.

Even within the Royal Court, most were Silver Moon Believers.

However, figures like the "Four King’s Knights," closely tied to kingship, were not contaminated and were not allowed to be contaminated.

They were also the final guardians of the Augustus Bloodline and kingship,

and had inherited some special techniques from the Taren Empire period to restrain faith contamination.

Previously, there was no conflict between the Silver Moon Sect and these "Royalist" due to the expansion of the Holy See’s influence.

But over time, the Silver Moon Sect took control of everything.

If Moon God Arachne wanted to act with absolute authority, she had to deal with the Royalists.

Thus, tensions and distrust arose.

As the chosen one of the Moon God, Queen Betty definitely did not trust those who were not Moon God believers.

So she had been secretly sabotaging them.

The high-ranking members of the Herlands Family were well aware of this.

But given they were all in the Royal Court, even with conflicts between faith and kingship, they couldn’t do anything to each other.

After the "667 Research Institute Incident," the Forbidden Curse Family made a huge mistake, triggering King Arthur’s wrath.

This led to the current dire situation.

Queen Betty infiltrating the team tasked to Sinless City likely had other intentions.

If it weren’t for this sudden duel, the high-ranking members of the Herlands Family wouldn’t have known such an important figure had infiltrated the team.

Thinking of this, Elsa and other high-ranking members like Jolin had unpleasant expressions.

...

Betty ignored Leonard’s familiar greeting, her gaze fixed on the Curse God Card floating in Leonard’s palm, with an inexplicable somber expression.
