Chapter 1695: Chapter 515: Obtained 2 Epic Materials

Half an hour later.

Leonard Churchill stood on a tree root, panting heavily.

He had two fist-sized bloody holes in his chest and abdomen from where blood was streaming out. The injuries looked very severe.

At his feet, the Undead Griffin with its golden skeleton scattered into pieces, its soul fire in the eye sockets dwindling.

Leonard consumed the rich Extraordinary Traits, the corners of his bleeding mouth curving into an arc of unabated excitement.

Indeed, the griffin, being a Mythical Creature, even when turned into an undead, retains terrorizing combat power. Just now, a single swipe tore through Leonard’s Protective Gang Air and Tyrant Gold Body, piercing straight through him. If not for the Curse of Immortality, a swipe like that would instantly kill an Eighth Order Card Master upon contact.

But it was precisely this formidable opponent that gave Leonard the exhilarating combat experience he relished.

The attributes he enhanced while absorbing from the Moon Well were hammered to their best form in this fierce battle.

Seeing Leonard severely injured, the team’s medic, Bonnie, hurried over. While she released a healing Spell from her Cards, she also complained, “Ah… Leonard, you really went too hard. You clearly could have dodged that attack just now…”

She looked at the ghastly wound on Leonard’s chest and his nonchalant light laughter and added, “Using the Undying Curse recklessly like this will greatly shorten your lifespan.”

Leonard, of course, knew that Bonnie was concerned about him and smiled, “Minor issue.”

While speaking, he couldn’t suppress a surge of bitterness in his throat, and spat out another mouthful of blood, yet his face still held a radiant smile.

The battle indeed could have been more conservative, without the need to risk his life so rashly.

But if so, it might have taken multiple times longer to kill the Undead Griffin.

He was capable of dragging the battle out.

But the others would surely die from exhaustion amid the endless Skeleton Army.

And with delays, there’s always a chance of attracting some even more terrifying entities.

Leonard dared not drag it out and could only make a quick battle of it.

…

Bonnie, of course, understood the situation and muttered under her breath, simply worried about Leonard’s physical condition.

Without further talk, she silently continued the emergency bandaging. Potions and healing magic could speed up recovery and consume less life.

At this point, Leonard glanced at the Nether Peacock not far away, and called out to her, “Miss White, thank you for your help.”

Without her Silent Annihilation Divine Light breaking the Undead Griffin’s Death Spirit Domain, it wouldn’t have been possible for him and Sophia Jones to find a breakthrough so quickly, even when working together.

Although their cooperation was still a bit rusty, the outcome was positive.

…

Hearing the gratitude, Nether Peacock still gave no response.

But the previously cold and rejecting expression on her pretty face eventually softened.

She understood the current predicament.

If she were to face this fearsome Skeleton Army alone, death was certain.

Thinking of this, the Nether Peacock’s gaze towards Leonard, still in a severely injured state, also flickered with a different light.

The human’s performance just now had indeed far exceeded her expectations.

This man’s methods could kill an eighth-tier lord like the Griffin, and could also kill her.

How did he become so strong all of a sudden when he wasn’t this formidable just seven days ago?

…

The fierce battle continued in the distance.

Sophia Jones was still dragging out the fight with [Skeleton Arcane King Ladon].

The executives of the Revolutionary Army were also fiercely charging among the Skeleton Army.

It’s well-known that Knights with mounts have a different level of combat power than without.

Leonard had no exact information about either the Golden Gryphon or the Arcane Skeleton.

Reality didn’t afford them the leeway to spend too much testing these opponents.

The most appropriate tactic was to break them down individually.

Separate the Skull King and its griffin mount, with the strongest, Sophia Jones, holding off the toughest BOSS, while Leonard and the Nether Peacock took care of the griffon first.

Indeed, as planned, the Nether Peacock successfully ambushed the griffin with her Silent Annihilation Divine Light, and after playing weak for a long time, Leonard suddenly made a lethal strike.

Although it was a close shave, the team members cooperated tacitly, and by the time the Skull King had yet to react, most of the trouble had already been resolved.

A quarter of an hour later.

Leonard’s injuries were mostly healed.

He re-joined the battle.

The Skull King, though an undead, was no less powerful than any eighth-rank lordly Demon Beast, capable of casting Ultimate Magic with a wave of the hand and commanding the Skeleton Army to use combined attacks.

A single touch of such attack power was generally fatal…

It was only because Sophia Jones herself was tough enough, proficient in legion warfare, had the protection of many Immortal Aegis Animals, and carried Holy Items of the White Family that protected her.

Otherwise, anyone else in her place would have been killed countless times by the legion.

The battle was extremely perilous, with dangers at every turn.

However, now that the three of them were surrounding it, the fate of the Skull King was sealed.

Although its arcane-level Magic was powerful, in terms of single combat power, it was no trouble like the Heavenly Dragon Saint, Chireesa, who they had fought earlier.

After all, the monster only excelled in Undead Magic and lacked any strange and uncommon Relics or abilities.

For Leonard, it was all calculable.

Both Leonard’s [True Understanding of All Things] and the Nether Peacock’s [Silent Annihilation Divine Light Feather] were perfectly suited to counter various elemental Magics.

Throughout the vast root space of the tree, various Magics exploded dazzlingly.

Leonard and Sophia Jones fought in close combat, with the Nether Peacock attacking from a distance with her feathers. After eliminating several elite Skeleton Guard Corps, the Skull King’s head was finally chopped off by Sophia Jones.

Before the monster’s soul fire could recover, Leonard started devouring it directly.
