Chapter 110: Chapter 70: Doctor’s Spoils of War 3
Translator: 549690339?????? —
While devouring, he used his mechanical arm to clean up the spoils of war.
The clothes had all almost burned up, making it easy to count the items.
Besides two storage rings, a card slot, there was also a piece of amber the size of half a brick.
It was that small spirit medium.
Leonard Churchill picked up the spirit medium and absorbed it right there on the spot.
Only after completely digesting it, would trouble be fully eliminated.
Besides the three guys who left earlier, others probably still don’t understand why the Corpse Collector squad exploded.
Even if they saw the big hole in the morgue, no one would care to venture down in the short term.
However, after thinking about it, Leonard decided to move to a different location.
He used his mechanical arm to lift the corpse and went to an unassuming place deep within the catacombs.
There wasn’t much law enforcement in Sinless City; as long as no major incident occurred, nobody would meddle in others’ affairs.
In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.
This time there were no accidents, digestion was successfully completed.
Seven o’clock in the morning.
On the streets, one could see workers changing shifts, and Sinless City was bustling with activity.
On the rooftop of an abandoned building.
A figure lightly jumped across a gap of more than ten meters between the building’s ledges.
After Leonard Churchill confirmed that no one was following him, he found a secluded place to rest.
He sat on a rusted iron tower, looking down at the city shrouded in darkness and smoke from above.
At the same time, he took a moment to count his spoils of war.
Leonard took a deep breath.
His current condition was exceptionally good.
Before he got the second Secret Cause Spirit Medium, his power rating was “4.9”, but now, in just one night, it had jumped to ”8.44″.
The two hundred kilogram heavy iron he used for training felt as light as wearing a shirt.
Not just strength.
His physique, tenacity, and agility all surpassed 8.
Being able to surpass 8 in a single attribute was a level only most eight or ninth tier Card Master Apprentices could reach.
But Leonard was strong in all dimensions.
His combat power visibly soared once again.
Not only his physical combat power, the spoils he reaped were also extremely gratifying.
Leonard thought of something, waved a card in his hand, and a sharp scalpel appeared.
It was that first-tier ancient relic, the Plague Doctor’s Scalpel.
The original owner of this scalpel had already died. The mental imprint had vanished, and it was easy for him to mark it as his own.
When spiritual power is poured in, the blade will quiver and the scalpel will become exceptionally sharp.
With a gentle swipe, like cutting through air, a smooth cut immediately appeared on the iron tower next to him, revealing the cold steel beneath the rust.
With +9 sharpness, this was the sharpest weapon he had ever seen.
The frost knight’s greatsword he had acquired before only had a sharpness of +3-
“Incredible sharpness…”
As Leonard played with it, he grew more and more enamored.
Moreover, this scalpel had an “Anti-Demon +35%” extraordinary attribute.
This was the most impressive thing.
Which is to say.
This scalpel is probably just a scratch if used against heavily armored warriors like frost knights.
But, it’s incredibly effective against magic type defenses!
Whether they are first tier or second tier Curse Card Masters, as long as he can get close, one stab would likely result in a bloody hole.
The only thing that isn’t quite satisfying is that this scalpel was a long-range weapon in the hands of that doctor.
But in his hands right now, it was just a melee knife.
Leonard had attempted many times before to control the flying knife with his telekinesis, but could only slightly deviate its trajectory once out of ten tries.
Plus, the attack range was only a few meters.
Controlling the flying knife with telekinesis would be impossible in a short time.
Firstly because of proficiency, and secondly because of spiritual power.
Moreover, the scalpel caused small wounds and was not likely to be fatal unless hitting a vital point.
It couldn’t be used as a conventional weapon, only for assassinations.
But Leonard was already quite satisfied.
Now he had a piece of equipment that posed a lethal threat to Curse Card Masters.
Combined with Shadow Submarine and his ultra-high agility, he felt that he was almost a formidable assassin.
The doctor’s tactical card slot contained several one-use skill cards, such as
Plague Poison Cloud, Acid Splash, Highly Toxic Tentacles, among other magic cards.
These were all second-tier cards.
But at the moment, Leonard didn’t dare to use them recklessly.
Although skill cards can be used once activated.
However, without an understanding of the related spell and a certain level of proficiency, the higher level the card, the more dangerous it is.
For example, how much curse power you need to activate a card, and when to release it after pouring in energy to achieve the expected explosion timing precision.
If not practiced, the result could be an explosion in your hand or failing to activate once thrown out.
Leonard had previously attended some card lectures at the Hunter’s Association.
He learned why the magic in this world was sealed in cards.
The fundamental reason was that card masters didn’t have any religious beliefs.
All extraordinary powers controlled by ancient humans came from the gods.
The ancient divine believers who chanted magic would recite the names of certain deities. In return, the gods would help their believers control and understand some rules of the elements beyond their abilities, they would also impart extraordinary knowledge.
This is known as “Divine Bestowal”.
Later, a great god created a card system, used demon’s power as a medium, which allowed humans to awaken extraordinary powers without the need to believe in any particular god.
The magic could be cast using the cards as a medium.
That was the basic story..
