Just as he stopped, the monster did too, a terrifying aura engulfing the entire corridor.

Enlightenment messages flashed continuously.

“You’ve been infected by a mysterious curse, Clown Mask reduces 70%, fear pollution +1”

But Leonard Churchill didn’t have any “box” to block the monster’s curse. Any slight movement would undoubtedly lead to death.

Even if the pollution was making his scalp tingle, he couldn’t make any movement.

Fortunately, even with two target locations, there was a difference.

The frost knight’s San Value fluctuates a hundred times more than the three of Leonard.

In the darkness, it was still easy to distinguish between a single match and a torch.

The Secret Keepers only paused for a few moments before they simultaneously turned and targeted the frost knight.

With a kick from the skeleton warhorse, it suddenly started to charge.

The frost knight, who had been watching out of the corner of his eye, blanched when he noticed its movement. He realized the monster had spotted him.

But he was puzzled. What went wrong?

Why did the monster not attack those three and attacked him instead?

Perplexed as he was, he didn’t wait, pushed hard on the ground and bolted like a cannonball.

But for the Secret Keepers, it was also just a charging distance.

The frost knight hadn’t run far, flashes of the skeleton warhorse flitted by and the monster had collided with the Frost Armor.

A cannon-like dull sound echoed as a bloody figure was thrown back.

With his old wounds yet to heal, this new injury nearly crushed him on the spot.

Fortuitously, seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, determination pushed him to his feet again.

The frost knight quickly got up and readied his sword to parry. A fierce battle erupted in the corridor once more between him and the three monsters.

Although he knew that the three people in the corner were alive, he also knew that if the fight continued nearby, they might get involved.

With a determined gaze, he chose to engage the monsters while retreating.

Soon, the corridor returned to tranquility.

Watching the frost knight drawing the monsters away, Leonard knew that this guy was no philanthropist.

If they were killed now, it would serve no purpose.

Instead,

As long as they were alive, the knight felt he had a slim chance of survival.

But Leonard wouldn’t just wait for him to return.

Although the frost knight seemed severely wounded and extremely exhausted,

But the Curse Rune Markings that emerged during his fight pegged him to be a Third Order Curse Card Master.

Such a high-tier curse card master, even in a weakened state, should not be underestimated.

Seeing the monsters leave, Leonard immediately woke up Camilla and simply said: “Let’s go!”

Without delay, he picked up the Spirit Communicator lady from the ground and headed back the way they came.

Although Camilla didn’t see what had happened, her senses had made everything clear, and she swiftly moved forward.

Leonard and his group weren’t as cautious as when they first entered, now they ran wildly.

This maze was far simpler than the previous one with almost no crossroads. The frost knight had already cleared all the monsters on this path, even the Secret Keepers were not encountered anymore.

It was smooth the whole way.

But the greatest danger now was not the monster, it was the person.

While running, Leonard was also considering a plan.

He had thought of almost every possibility before, but the one thing he didn’t anticipate was that someone could survive till the sixth day.

What a place to run into him.

If that Frost Knight was able to survive, evidently those previous monsters were also unable to kill him, at least for now.

There’s no way that guy would let go of this only chance to stay alive.

Which means he’s bound to catch up soon.

Moreover, the chance of him being an enemy is quite high.

Thinking about this, Leonard Churchill, while running, asked seriously, “Miss Camilla, can we beat that guy we just ran into?”

He is just a Card Master Apprentice with First Level Curse Power and has no clear concept about the combat power of high-tier card masters.

But even a wounded tiger is not something a rabbit can take on.

Hence, he didn’t hold out much hope when he asked this question.

Camilla knew how serious the situation was, contemplated for a moment and said cautiously, “If it was any other Third-Tier Card Master, even if severely injured, we’d stand no chance. But the Frost Knight has practiced the Ice Rule… we can give it a try.”

Falling behind by two whole tiers, to any Curse Card Master, this sort of gap would seem like a wild fantasy.

A Third-Tier Card Master can solidify Curse Rune Markings for protection, especially those specialized in close combat. No matter the physical strength, Curse Power, or resistance, their overall attributes are multiple times that of an ordinary First-Tier Card Master.

A typical third-tier card master could fight tens or even hundreds of first tier ones.

But, Camilla is no ordinary First-Tier Card Master.

Moreover, her Demon Mark has allowed her to master some high-level Ice Rule. This is a natural counter to the Frost Knight, thereby greatly reducing the threat.

We can give it a try?

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill looked somewhat surprised, and asked another question, “How sure are you about this?”

Camilla replied, “60 percent.’¹

Actually a 60 percent chance?

Leonard Churchill was indeed surprised to hear this.

He knew his old friend was very powerful, but he didn’t expect her to be this remarkable.

“First Tier vs Third Tier”, this is something ordinary people dare not even think about, yet she still has a 60 percent chance?

While speaking, Camilla added, explaining, “Just now I sensed that his Curse Power is nearly exhausted, and he is seriously injured, with various chaotic energies within his body. Most importantly, his mental state is extremely poor. I happen to have a few telekinetic techniques that could seriously wound him. Seizing the right opportunity, there might be a chance to kill him. But… the Frost Helmet has Divine Immunity Curse Inscription, this could be a bit troublesome…”

She had revealed her cards in front of Leonard Churchill back in Room 407, so there was no point in hiding anything now.

Upon hearing all this, Leonard Churchill fell into deep thought again.

He originally thought that if the Frost Knight came after them, they wouldn’t possibly have any chance to resist. Their only choice would be to take chances and find some other kind of help in this maze.

But he didn’t expect his teammate to be so formidable.

Yet, a 60 percent probability… that is to say, they still have a 40 percent chance of failing collectively.

Or both sides might be injured in the process.

It’s still not enough.

Leonard Churchill thought of something else and asked cautiously, “What if we made him take off his helmet and then launched a surprise attack?”

Hearing his words, Camilla showed a slight change in her expression, but she answered, “90 percent.”

Leonard Churchill knew why she hesitated a moment.

Having just been betrayed by someone familiar, the words ‘surprise attack’ were quite mordant.

Moreover, getting the Frost Knight to remove his armor was certainly not going to be easy.

But 90 percent, that was more than enough!

Now was not the time to be hung up on this point. Confident about this, Leonard Churchill said gravely, “Alright, I’ll try my best to create an opportunity for you.”

They had to think of a way to deal with this man if they wanted to get out.

The people from the Governor’s Mansion, whether towards him or Camilla, were absolutely not friends.

Without saying much more, it seemed like Tracy Garcia had also awakened by this time, she said faintly from behind, “Um… Mr. Leonard Churchill, you can put me down. I can run by myself.”

Only then did Leonard Churchill realize he was still carrying someone on his shoulder, so he put her down as well.

Together, the three of them ran deeper into the underground palace..
