Chapter 558: Chapter 191 – Initial Formation of Curse Seal_3

He remembered that he’d personally absorbed the Extraordinary Traits from the corpse in the Mysterious Underground Palace. Now seeing Vivian White, alive and well, how could he not be surprised?

“Damn… The White family’s methods are really strange indeed,” he thought.

Leonard Churchill speculated that there must be some sort of parasitic trick that allowed Vivian to survive.

But seeing her made him realize!

“It’s the White family that’s stealing those Fear Threads, isn’t it?”

Leonard remembered that Elder Clinton had said in the underground palace that the entire White family inherited the occupational ability of the Spade 10 – God Stealer pathway, walking the path of God Theft.

At the time, the little snake that Vivian transformed into wanted to steal the residual Divine Power from the statue of the Ancient God.

It’s not far-fetched for them to now be absorbing Fear based Mental Power.

Once he confirmed it was the White family, Leonard instantly understood everything: “Ah… So it’s not that the Orlan Remnants didn’t find out. They found out, but chose to turn a blind eye?”

The known information now was that the Main Branch of the Lionheart family had formed an alliance with the White family;

While the secondary branch was secretly colluding with the Orlan Remnants.

Competing with each other while forming a large beneficial alliance.

The situation in Lion City was very delicate.

After all, the Orlan immigrants were the Federation’s largest group of fugitives. Even though the Lionheart family colluded secretly, they didn’t dare to publicize it.

And the White family could also be considered as allies of the Lionheart family.

Now that they found the Orlan Remnants using the array to extract “Fear” within the city, it coincidentally turned out to be a huge opportunity for the members of White family.

Exposing this would benefit no one.

So, they decided to go along with it and scrape up some benefits for themselves in the process?

Even if the Orlan Remnants found out, in order not to disrupt the overall situation, they could only acquiesce.

“Hmm…”

When Leonard realized this, his expression suddenly brightened.

There were already so many people picking peaches, one more wouldn’t make a difference, right?

Thinking of this, his courage grew.

He watched the layout of the White family’s posts and cleverly chose a Hunter’s Inn called “Spring Breeze Inn”, conveniently located near the White family and Golden Oak Corporation, and started absorbing the Fear Threads.

Although this action still had risks.

But with only three months to live, and soon to go to the Alternate Dimension where survival hope was bleak, Leonard’s mentality was very calm.

Furthermore, because of Leonard’s audacious choice of location and brazen absorption, the risk was surprisingly lower than discreetly absorbing the power.

Nobody would approve of using the whole city’s population as Fear feed.

Not to mention that most people could not see the Fear Threads anyway.

Even if they found out, the people from the White family would probably think it was the Orlan Remnants, and the Orlan Remnants would also think it was someone from the White family…

The two forces were on separate paths and wouldn’t bother checking with each other.

Besides, there was the extremely mysterious Auntie Garcia.

Leonard believed that while others might not know about him, she certainly would.

No matter what her intention was, she definitely wouldn’t let him die at this point.

Leonard was betting on this.

He boldly absorbed the Fear Threads in the Hunter’s Inn for two days and two nights.

And just as he predicted, everything proceeded smoothly.

…

One day, in Room 307 of the Spring Breeze Inn.

Leonard, who was meditating on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

The mysterious black lines that had formed on his skin were still emitting a dark light.

He couldn’t hide his joy, thinking: “This is the Curse Seal…”

Leonard didn’t expect that in just two days, he would yield such great benefits.

The first step in creating a Curse Seal was the hardest to take.

Even with the Excalibur, it would have taken Leonard a long time to cultivate his perception and create the Seal.

However, to his surprise, the absorption of those Fear Threads congealed into a basic Curse Seal in just two days?

The Curse Seal had only been initially formed, but his physical defense power was already several times higher than before.

In addition to the Overlord Body Method overlay, his survival rate would significantly increase in the exploration of the Alternate Dimension.

This directly enhanced his combat power.

Truly an unexpected surprise.

Leonard took a deep breath.

The Curse Seal on his skin slowly disappeared.

Today was the day to gather and set off for the exploration of the Alternate Dimension. He didn’t delay in the inn, packed his things, and quietly left.

Shortly after, Leonard arrived at the Hunter’s Association.

He got into an armored vehicle with a group of registered Pioneer Hunters and headed secretly towards the outskirts of the city.

Leonard had participated in numerous Alternate Dimension explorations and the process was nothing new.

Just that someone was secretly verifying identities.

Leonard was well disguised and didn’t give anything away.

Before long, the armored vehicle arrived near the ruins on the outskirts of the city.

A heavily guarded medium-sized outdoor camp had been set up here.

It was evident that the Lionheart family took this Alternate Dimension very seriously.

Leonard and the others got off the vehicle, received some basic information, listened to the team leader reading some basic info.

A thousand men team entered the Twisted Light Gate in an imposing manner.

Then Enlightenment appeared: “You have entered the ‘Third Holy Grail War·Battle of Ironforge'”
