Chapter 1733: Chapter 526: Ambushing and Killing the 40 Bandit Leaders, So Many Treasures_3
No wonder there were no survivors; the mont these items appeared, their origins were imdiately discernible.
In the blink of an eye, Leonard Churchill executed his limit evasion, but still, a slash tore through his shield, leaving a bloody gash across his chest.
The relentless Sword Air struck endlessly, leaving Leonard Churchill in a very sorry state.
As a Magic Type, it was normal for him to be at a disadvantage when a Seventh-tier Swordsman got close.
Moreover, seven or eight figures had already started to encircle him, looking as if they intended to kill him instantly.
Knowing he was no match, and unable to break through the encirclent, Leonard Churchill shouted in panic: “My lords, make your escape quickly!”
Hearing these words, Sophia Jones did not hesitate and released a card with a wave of her hand.
In an instant, a Space Gate materialized before them.
Without any hesitation, the two won dove into the gate and disappeared from sight.
Leonard Churchill unleashed his power and, just as the Space Gate was about to vanish, barely managed to flee through it.
Watching the three escape, the masked assassin and the group of seven or eight people halted.
However, instead of worry, a look of pleasure appeared in their eyes.
The masked Swordsman, of course, knew the value of the item and muttered: “It’s actually a ‘Space Gate’ Curse Card… tsk tsk, they really are quite wealthy.”
Space-oriented Cards are inherently exorbitantly expensive and are strategic resources that can’t be purchased on the open market, only held in the hands of so top-tier Nobles.
And normally, it requires soone proficient in the Space Law to use them, but Sophia Jones just used a Spatial Crystal Core to activate it.
This act only exposed more of the fat sheep’s financial strength.
“Second leader, they…”
“Don’t worry, they won’t get away. The boss will intercept those folks; let’s hurry over too…”
“…”
…
Leonard Churchill and his companions had run away.
But Leonard Churchill knew they couldn’t really escape.
They could have killed those ambushers earlier, but they did not do so.
Even though a Seventh-tier had arrived, Leonard Churchill was privy to the intelligence that the leader of the “Forty Thieves” was an Undead Mage.
And since that guy hadn’t been caught for so long, he must be cunning and suspicious; Leonard Churchill didn’t believe the leader would blindly erge without understanding the situation.
If the three of them had been killed just now, the leader would not have appeared; if they had killed the thieves, the leader, scared off, would not have appeared either.
Only by escaping could they force the mysterious leader to reveal himself.
In an instant, in a dark alley three blocks away…
Leonard Churchill and his companions erged from the Space Gate.
Peacock looked puzzled at Leonard Churchill’s bleeding wound, wanting to say sothing, but swallowed her words.
Had she not known about his strength, she would have truly thought Leonard Churchill was about to die.
Seeing the panic on Leonard Churchill’s face, Peacock couldn’t help but mutter with a whisper: “Human beings are really sly…”
Leonard Churchill, however, was unconcerned and instead returned an encouraging look: Well done.
It was indeed difficult for Peacock, an Eighth Rank, to play such a poor drama with him.
Leonard Churchill said no more, still role-playing, and said to Sophia Jones, “My lord, we must hurry, those thieves will certainly pursue us.”
Sophia Jones also nodded, and imdiately sped into the dark alleyway.
To outsiders, this would seem perfectly normal. Carrying a fortune and having an escape route when venturing out was not surprising.
The further they ran, the fewer people they encountered.
Then, as they ran, it seed as though soone was chanting an Incantation in the darkness, “Domain·Soul-binding Corpse Prison Road.”
All of a sudden, the surroundings fell into pitch blackness again.
Even though the alley and buildings were still there, it beca deathly silent with no sign of life.
Leonard Churchill and his companions suddenly stopped.
Because at that mont, a mysterious figure draped in a black cloak and surrounded by Death Air appeared in front of them.
Looking at them, he sneered continuously: “Where do you think you’re going, gentlen?”
As soon as the words were spoken, more than a dozen figures appeared on the rooftops around them.
Seeing the main character had shown up, a hint of amusent appeared in Leonard Churchill’s eyes.
Compared to so thieves, he was more intrigued by this guy’s Domain, muttering to himself: “This Death Spirit Domain is quite interesting…”
Although he did not fully understand it, Leonard Churchill’s knowledge of Necromancy was deep. He could tell at a glance that this Domain was designed to lock onto the soul, sowhat like a “ghost hitting the wall”; unless the Spellcaster themselves lifted it, it was very difficult to escape.
Watching Leonard Churchill attempt to use his Domain to counter the Domain, the Cloaked Figure scoffed: “Don’t waste your effort, even a ‘Space Gate’ won’t help. I’ve obtained a Supre treasure of the Undead just recently; you will not escape.”
In his view, the Spoils of War carried by these people were all his now, not to waste the precious resource of a ‘Space Gate’ card.
In saying this, the man also revealed the Crystal Skull he held in his hand.
[Aztec Crystal Skull]
Explanation: A relic of the undead from the mythological era, once an evil artifact that caused the death of millions; the Skull contains powerful Undead Spirit energy, with a magical effect to imprison souls. The more souls it imprisons, the stronger its Extraordinary Traits; Current count of imprisoned souls (5543);
“…”
Leonard Churchill and his companions, upon hearing these words, displayed a montary change in expression.
The thieves thought they were terrified.
But in fact, all three had the sa thought: These guys have so many treasures!
This [Crystal Skull] looks like it must have leaked out of the Royal Academy.
Leonard Churchill was well aware that the Royal Academy’s treasury stored not only normal treasures but also so “forbidden items” that had been sealed away.
Just like the X Bureau in the East Wilderness, which contained relics that ordinary card masters couldn’t control due to their Extraordinary Traits or transcendental items that posed a great danger to humans.
