Catastrophe Card King

The battle in the dungeon was becoming more and more fierce.

The beacon tower had been lit; the fortress war had begun.

The soldiers didn’t yet understand what was happening, but the ethereal magic light from the beacon tower had already shone on everyone.

Those demons who had been disguised as humans tore through their human-skin coverings under the light, revealing their grotesque demon forms.

The soldiers finally reacted, picking up their weapons and engaging in a fierce battle with the demons.

In the blink of an eye, the vast fortress was filled with intense combat.

Not just within the fortress, demons appeared in abundance on the lifts, in the baskets and atop the arrow towers.

Because they were well-prepared, these demons wasted no time in destroying various heavy defensive weapons. This not only caused casualties amongst the human soldiers, but also facilitated the siege for the demons at the base of the fortress.

Demon hordes poured in from god knows where.

They climbed walls, rode in baskets, flew with wings…

Using every means available they launched a total assault on Meteor Eagle Fortress.

The great battle instantly turned extremely fierce.

Leonard Churchill ignored the battle within the fortress. He stealthily navigated his way, arriving at the deputy commander’s quarters in no time.

The defensive barriers here had already been activated, but thanks to the magic key Mage Rolan had given him beforehand, he gained access effortlessly.

A quick look at the compass indicated the house was devoid of any monsters.

The demons were busy storming the fortress; no one was paying any attention to the quarters

Leonard walked straight up to the second floor.

Both the commander and deputy-commander had their separate quarters.

There was a room on the second floor with a window.

The view here was excellent, offering a clear sight of the Wailing Abyss.

There was a row of bookshelves in the room.

On the shelves, dozens of books lined up. Enlightenment didn’t translate these irrelevant ancient civilization scriptures that didn’t connect with the plot.

But they were all objects that could be taken out of the Alternate Dimension.

Leonard showed no mercy.

Whether he understood them or not, he packed them all into the Storage Ring.

Only in the knowledgeable magician’s dormitories could one find so many books.

Whether it was the knowledge in these scriptures or the civilization content of this Alternate Dimension, he found them all fascinating.

He then discovered a hidden compartment behind the seventh book on the shelf and upon opening it, he found a Magic Token.

Just as he expected, the token could not be placed in the Storage Space.

Moreover, the magic fluctuation emanating from it was very unique, making it conspicuous in the dark like a night pearl.

Leonard only opened it to confirm and then quickly closed it.

Meanwhile, he also stored the Demon’s Horns he had on him.

It was of no benefit to carry these things around at the moment.

Since there was no time-limit in this Alternate Dimension, Leonard was in no hurry.

He then continued his search, only to finally find a book wrapped in animal skin in a drawer with a magic mechanism.

Enlightenment displayed its content as “Mage Rolan’s Demonic Manuscript.”

Without spending much time, Leonard collected it as well.

Checking Mage Rolan’s quarters once more for any overlooked items, he climbed out of the window and jumped over to the nearby commander’s quarters.

The second-tier demon was still engaged in a fierce battle with Mage Rolan in the dungeon and wouldn’t be returning for a while.

As Leonard had the magic barrier authority of the whole fortress, he easily sneaked into the commander’s quarters.

The commander’s room was rudimentary and reeked of alcohol.

There was not a single book to be seen.

Nor was there anything of value.

However, Leonard immediately spotted a shiny silver axe hanging on an equipment stand.

“Commander’s Long-Handled Silver Radiance Battle Axe”

Quality: Silver-Glow.

Explanation: An excellent long-handled axe forged from star iron, sharpness +3, heavy hit +4, deals additional 30% damage to demons;

Monsters hadn’t taken it because it was not suited for demons.

“Ha, something I can sell…”

Leonard looked at its attributes and was instantly disappointed.

After witnessing so many treasures, his expectations had risen.

Primarily, there were no special entries.

The reason it was of Silver-Glow quality was solely because the Star Iron it was made from was a rare metal.

Moreover, it was heavy and useless to him.

Spending a valuable Silver-Glow Containment Card, Leonard stored the axe.

He thought he could fetch a good price for this axe.

Leonard roamed around the commander’s quarters but couldn’t find anything else of value.

Originally, he wanted to visit the military supplies office to see if he could pilfer anything undetected.

But suddenly, the magic vibration in the dungeon quieted down.

From the looks of it, Mage Rolan had been killed.

Not daring to wait for the second-tier catastrophe to find him, Leonard climbed along the cliff, leaving the fortress.

After a while, he was on a steep cliff.

“All eight Demon Commanders should be at least second-tier B-level or higher catastrophe…at least three or four commanders are likely to be tied up at three fortresses, given the combat power of the Fierce Beast Legion, they must be fighting head-on with quite a few Demon Corps…”

Leonard found a place to settle down, watching the battle at the Meteor Eagle Fortress from afar, contemplating the situation. Eventually, he relaxed and started enjoying the spectacle.

The battle was just beginning.

Wailing Abyss was more than a hundred kilometers of mountainous terrain away from the Thunderbolt Fortress in the south, and the Demon Legion might have just ventured out from their lair, not yet having covered much ground.

Leonard was in no hurry to find any demon channel.

He simply stayed on the cliff edge, took out the booklet he had previously got titled “Mage Rolan’s Demonic Manuscript,” and started flipping through it carefully.

This was a plot item recognized by the space.

It was certainly related to passing the level.

Leonard opened the manuscript, revealing tightly packed, untranslatable ancient texts..
