Chapter 23: Chapter 20: Demon’s Feast

“Is this that T-level Disaster Source?”

Leonard Churchill stared at the card in his hand. What was two lines of text before had now transformed into a comical joker wearing a tricorn hat.

Even though it was a 2D image, the joker on the card seemed like a 3D creature that had been lowered in dimension, incredibly realistic. Its gaze was full of mockery towards the world and satire towards death. It had a big, snide laugh with a demon-possessed look in the comer of its mouth. The laugh was highly provoked, giving off a horrifying vibe.

Simply by looking at it, a strong sense of mystery and evil overwhelmed him, causing a vague feeling of palpitation.

However, Leonard Churchill felt nothing uncomfortable.

He felt… as if he was looking in the mirror.

He saw his reflection on the card, familiar with a sense of deep connection.

The clown gradually started to resemble him.

As soon as the image of the joker appeared on the black card, it seemed to activate some sort of ritual. The card seemed to melt away, turning into specks of black light that spun around Leonard Churchill’s body before gradually merging into it.

This wasn’t a card everyone could see the true image of.

At least, Camilla standing nearby didn’t see the joker image on the card.

However, after just a glance, she didn’t look any further.

She didn’t see which origin card it was, nor did she try to look closely.

Leonard Churchill did not know the value of this card, but Camilla knew it all

too well.

Black Iron Quality Demonic Mark found at the Underground City black market, was already considered a rare card that ordinary people could get their hands

on.

Silver was an extremely rare luxury that was hard to come by.

Gold Cards were strategic resources almost monopolized by the elites.

As for Legendary Cards, they only existed in legends for ordinary people, and may not even come across one in their lifetime. They’re supreme treasures.

Of course, above Legendary, there was a type of card that only a precious few had ever really seen.

Those are the 52 Epic Origin Cards recorded in history.

The 52 Epic Origin Cards corresponded to fifty-two powerful demon gods in legends. They grant the card master the purest Demon’s Power. These are ancient relics before the Great Catastrophe, each card rumored to be the creation of an ancient God.

If any one of them appears, it inevitably sparks conflicts.

However, Camilla had no intention of taking it for herself.

She knew very well that treasures choose their own masters. Only those with a high degree of compatibility can fully see the Demon’s Power on these fifty-two Demonic origin cards and also merge with them.

Otherwise, the probability of deformation is very high.

Just like in this Alternate Dimension, Abnormal Creature Shelter 407, archives showed that this was once a secret bunker where research on this origin card was conducted. But without exception, all experimental subjects mutated, but still, the exact nature of the card remained a mystery.

This card has been preserved here for thousands of years.

Camilla cast a complex glance at Leonard Churchill, her ally, who was in the process of card fusion. She said nothing.

She saw the Twisted Light Gate appear before her. She knew that she could

leave now.

The fusion was still going to take some time. Camilla decided to go out first to check the situation. She was not hesitant and crossed over.

Just as she approached the Twisted Light Gate, seeing the payoff rewards, a rare smile lit up her face, “Oh…”

The rewards for completing such a challenging alternate dimension were beyond imagination!

After an indefinite period of time, Leonard Churchill snapped out of that unique sensation.

The black card “Grey Joker” in his hand had disappeared.

“Have I become an Extraordinary Man?”

Leonard Churchill understood what had happened.

This is a world of card masters.

Judging from the information he got so far, the “Demonic Mark” was the key that opened the ultimate mystery of the human body. After awakening, it grants individuals extraordinary powers beyond human limits, inherited from a god indicated on a card.

At this moment, a door to a new world has opened.

He once again checked his Attribute Panel but couldn’t help but grumble, “Ah… Strength, physique, agility, etc, do not seem to have increased at all.” This awesome card, at least on the surface, did not enhance the attributes of his mortal body.

While his basic attributes on the panel hadn’t changed, things like Elemental Tolerance and Enlightenment were all hidden attributes.

But that feeling of being “extraordinary” was very real.

As if reborn, he felt that the world in his eyes was different now.

He could clearly perceive the small particles in the air. They were particles of the four basic elements: earth, wind, water, and fire.

“What a magical sensory world…”

Leonard Churchill was enjoying the feeling of his senses being infinitely amplified, looking at the world that was so clear.

Sneak, Fortune Gambler, Joker Card… and Demon’s Feast.

The capabilities described in these four terms were very exaggerated.

He didn’t know much about this world yet, and couldn’t fully appreciate what the boost from the “Grey Joker” meant.

But the most immediately apparent was the new active skill on his attribute panel- “Demon’s Feast Lvo(l/500)“.

Could it allow him to absorb extraordinary traits from corpses?

He turned to look at the other two cages nearby, the bodies of the old servant and the mercenaries were still warm.

“Shall we try?”

Leonard Churchill thought, and without hesitating, he walked over.

At this moment, the bloody corpse before him looked completely different in

his eyes.

Its body radiated faint wisps of smoke.

This was the out-of-control curse power and extraordinary traits.

Originally invisible to the naked eye, the mysterious substance had now materialized before Leonard Churchill’s eyes, it was a fascinating experience.

He tried using the feast, a grey mist rose from his body and then made contact with the blue smoke.

Acquiring the sea of extraordinary traits just like a huge whale swallowing a big mouthful of seawater.

‘You used a Feast Devour, physique+0.001’

‘You used a Feast Devour, strength+0.001’

‘You used a Feast Devour, tenacity+0.0007’

‘You used a Feast Devour, fire elemental affinity+0.04’

The corpse had just died, the overflow of extraordinary traits was thick, even after a massive devour, more still continuously came out.

His attributes had increased!

They kept increasing!

Not only were his attributes increasing, but he could also devour elemental affinity.

Leonard Churchill looked at the constantly changing figures on his attribute panel with a glowing expression, “Directly absorbing and increasing my own attributes?”

Although they were small, they were indeed increasing.

The feast turned the extraordinary traits on the corpse into his own.

The door to the new world had opened!

“Although the absorption is a bit slow, this ‘Feast’ is simply a divine trick in the later stages…”

As Leonard Churchill watched his continuously changing base attributes, he couldn’t help but comment.

The later stages, the stronger.

He was not sure how long it would take to fully absorb the extraordinary traits from the two corpses, but estimated that it would take at least six hours to increase the strength by 0.1?

This was obviously related to his lack of familiarity with using the skill.

After the improvement of Lvo, there should be a large room for improvement in the absorption efficiency.

However, now was not a good time for absorption.

Although the Alternate Dimension was cleared, other potential crises were not minor.

Having won the final prize of this Alternate Dimension, not everyone could remain as indifferent as his teammates.

At the very least, the previous Fourth Master of the Miller family would definitely not agree.

Additionally, he still didn’t know what the outside world was like now.

Given the circumstances before, where dozens of people could die just by looking at an Alternate Dimension, this world was likely to be brutal. However, Leonard Churchill felt that he was growing to like this place more and more.

Without delay, he walked to the Twisted Light Gate, ready to leave.

At that moment, Enlightenment appeared, he was slightly surprised: “There are even rewards for settlement…”

Not only were there rewards, they were also quite impressive..
